I'm soooooooooo happy.

Discutions Of Emotions

"Beeeeeeeeeeeeep.......Beeeeeeeeeeeep" the alarm clock rang. However it was rather unwanted. He just wanted to sleep. He realy did not want to wake up. He was having a very pleasant dream about him and the ex-pilot next door, and didn't want to be woken up from it. But, "Beeeeeeeeeeeeep........Beeeeeeeeeeeep.......Beeeeeeeeeeep..." the alarm presisted."Beeeeeeeeee-click." He didn't feel like hitting it and nearly breaking it today. The damn thing had a crack from the previous day.

"Poor craftsmenship..." He muttered under his breath.

'Why do I always set my alarm?' he wondered to himself. 'I guess it was drilled into my brain, brought on by years of habit.' With that final thought, he was out of bed and off to start his day with his morning shower.

On his way to the bathroom, he picked out his old green tanktop and a pair of faded, worn-out blue-jeans. When he entered the shower he remembered that Duo got there yesterday. That made him wonder how his day would be. Being near Duo made his heart race. He didn't know if he would be able to take that without losing it and blurting everything out.

He also acted differently towards the young american, then he did during the war. He prayed Duo wouldn't figure it out. As well as the other pilots. Surely they would notice his unusual actions and figure it out. Or at least Quatre and Trowa would. They themselves, are the same way. Not only that, Quatre's Space Heart might react to it and he would sense the conflicting emotions in him.

However with his luck, not to mention how well they know him, they'll figure it out. It's almost impossible to keep a secret from people who have such perceptive skills as them. Not only that, they had also kept some pretty big secrets themselves and can easily spot someone who isn't being completely honest just like that. Duo most of all can spot someone who's keeping something from him or lying to him, a mile away. But hopefully he can keep this secret for the remainder of the week, without anyone asking him about it. He really hoped no one would find out, he wanted Duo to be the first to know. 'Who better then the person secret is directed towards.'

With that final thought, he exited the shower. Heero Yuy was ready to take on whatever the universe was ready to throw at him.

When exiting his room, he ran smack dab into a sopping wet Duo Maxwell, who at the moment was brushing his hair out, and they both fell to the floor.

"Sorry about that....Duo." Heero said dryly. He had no idea he had ran into Duo until he looked up. To see Duo, dripping wet with his hair down. That made Heero blush, though it was barely noticeable. Duo looked so beautiful as well as looking remarkably like a girl, a very pretty one at that. But, none the less, he was still blushing and Duo, of course, noticed.

"Yeah, sorry about that man....... Hey man, are you sick. You look a little feverish. Your cheeks are all red." Just as he said that, Duo put his hand on Heero's cheek and his forehead to Heero's forehead. Heero felt a little uneasiness at the close proximity of their bodies and faces. "Yeah, your getting a little warm. Promise me you'll take something for that fever before it gets to bad."

"Oh, uhhhhhhh, y...yeah, sure." Heero stuttered nervously. Little did Duo know, the rosy cheeks and very small fever was brought on by Heero's blush and it went up as Duo got closer. But he and Duo both got really nervous and embarrassed when they realized the position they were in.

When they fell, Duo had fallen right on top of Heero and they hadn't even noticed until now. Duo's head was still really close to Heero's and neither of them even thought about moving. They just sat there and stared at each other. There mouths getting closer and closer. This was interrupted by a coughing noise.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Wufei said, both amused and disgusted.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......... no. We just ran into each other and fell down." Duo said as he got up. Extending a hand to help Heero up. Heero grasped Duo's hand and Duo pulled him up.

"Yeah, that's all it was, a fall." Heero put in, to make it more beleiveable as he got up and dusted himself off. "Anyway, good morning you two." Heero said in an attempt to change the subject.

"Yeah, good morning." Duo replyed.

"Good morning, and I was hoping you two just bumped into each other and fell. But if not, and you two are lying to me, may I suggest you keep yourselves under control and keep that kind of behavior strickly in your bedrooms." Wufei stated flatly.



"I havn't a clue as to what your talking about, Wufei." Duo stated.

"Uh-huh, sure, whatever you say Maxwell. But I know what's going on." Wufei said, half joking.

"Hey, what's that suposed to mean. Wufei you better tell me or else....... Hey, are you even listening to me? Wufei, what the hell where you talking about? Damn it, don't run away from me, do you hear me. Alright, that's it you asshole, tell me right now. Your not even paying attention. Uhhhhhh, that's it, your dead, you hear me..." Duo screamed as he ran after Wufei.

Heero couldn't suppress the smirk on his face from showing it's self. It marveled him how some things never changed. No matter how long people are kept away from each other. But anyway you look at it. Wufei was more of a older brother to Duo, with his mocking and teasing and stuff, anybody could see it. With that, he just rolled his eyes and followed the two arguing pilots.

Once they got down stairs, Duo and Wufei where still arguing. Neither of them willing to give up and lose to the other. They may look like they hate each other, but in reality, they do think of each other more as brothers then mortal enemies.

Breakfast was a rather usual event. They had eggs and bacon with biscuits and coffee. The table was livened up by chatter and small talk. Duo's hair was not yet put in it's usual braid at the moment. But instead, was put in a loose ponytail to keep it out of his face while he ate. He did manage to keep his manners in check and eat normally.

However, every so often he would look over at Heero and then turn away just as Heero noticed. Durning they're meal and discussions, Heero had been thinking about Duo, as well as the incident earlier this morning.

'He looks pretty good with his hair down like that. I wonder why he dosn't keep it down that way all the time. I know that half of it is to keep it out of his face. But why else...... Maybe it's because he, like I said, looks too pretty with it down and can easily pass as a girl. A very pretty one at that to.' Heero thought. 'I wonder if he really does like me. In the hallway a few minutes ago, he seemed kinda nervous and worried about me. I know I probably shouldn't feel happy about that, but I just can't help it. That and he keeps looking over here at me.' Then Heero stopped. 'The hallway..... wait a second, the hallway. What would have happened if Wufei hadn't come in. We were getting pretty close to eachother. If Wufei hadn't inturrupted..... would we have? That would be an interesting way to say it, but... No, bad thoughts, bad thoughts, bad Heero for thinking such a thing.' Heero quietly cursed himself. 'But if Wufei hadn't interrupted, it might have been very pleasurable. Damn him, Oh well, what's done is done. I'll just have to get it some other time, hopefully.'

Just as Heero finished his thinking, he had finished his breakfast. After that, they all relocated to the living room. Duo stopped Heero on the way there.

"Are you ok?" Duo asked, concern on his face.

"Yeah, why do you ask?" Heero said.

"Well, you did have that fever earlier, but that seems to have gone down. But you can never be to careful. In fact, I'm sure that that's one of the reasons we survived on certain occasions. However we also took some dangerous risks." Duo said, the concern still evident.

"Yeah, Duo, I'm fine, seriously. That fever earlier wasn't anything to worry about, trust me." Heero stated. But he was pleased that Duo seemed to care so much about him. He knew he probably shouldn't have been so happy, since he was worrying Duo. But he couldn't help it, it made him feel good.

(Later that day)

He was just aimlessly wondering around the house. Hoping that he wouldn't get lost. Then he ran into Quatre and Trowa who seemed to be doing the same thing. Well, except for the hoping to not get lost. It was Quatre's house after all. He doubted Quatre got lost in his own home, not that Heero would blame him or anything, the thing was huge. Besides, Quatre had probably learned every single inch in the entire house.

"Hey, Heero, are you lost?" Quatre asked kindly.

"Yes and no. I know how to get back to my room and other places from there. I just don't know where I am." Heero admitted.

"Yes, I myself was having the same problem, until Quatre found me." Trowa said.

"Well, at the moment, your on the second floor right infront of the Art Room." Quatre explaned. Smile plastered on his face.

"Oh, really. Well, thanks for helping me out." Heero said, greatful smile on his face.

"Well, anyway, I've got an idea. Why don't we go to the living room. I do have something I want to talk to you about. If that's ok with you." Quatre sugested.

"Ok, sure." Heero said.

At that, they all went down the stairs and to the living room. Once down there, Quatre motioned for Heero to sit down. Then he, himself took a seat and Trowa sat down beside him.

"Okay....." Quatre sighed. "I'm just going to get straight to the point..... Heero, you've been acting differently lately. Now, I know your loosening up, now that the war is over. But.... When I say you've been acting differently, I mean, specifically towards Duo."

Heero gulped and silently cursed himself for not hiding it better. He should have known at least, they, would figure it out.

"Heero, are you alright?" Quatre asked. "You look a little pale. I was just wondering if you had feelings for Duo or not."

"H......How did you find out." Heero asked. "I thought that I hid it pretty well."

"Oh, well, you did actually. It was just the little things. You know, you have been acting alot kinder to him lately. Then there are the warm looks you give him, and in the van..."

"What about the van?" Trowa asked, getting interested.

"You wouldn't know, because you were driving. But, Duo fell asleep on your shoulder, didn't he. But the thing that gave it away was that you didn't push him off. But instead, you stared at him with those warm eyes." Quatre said as he explained his suspicions.

"I to have noticed a change in you. You have been a little bit nicer. Not only that, Wufei told us about what happened this morning." Trowa said as he agreed with his boyfreind.

"Oh really. Oh well, I guess I can trust you two........ Yes, I do think I have feelings for him. I guess I should have told you from the beginning. I should have known better then to try and hide something like this from you two." Heero admitted.

"Oh really, I thought so. So what are you going to do about it? I'm sure Duo would understand if you told him. Sometimes, it's not good or healthy to keep this locked up inside and not see what the person would say. You might spend your life wondering the question 'What if?" Quatre said, concered for his freind.

"To be honest, I don't know what I'm going to do." Heero admitted. "I'm not sure if I'm going to tell him or not.... Everytime I think I should, my mind screams. 'What if he says no or laughs at me..' I don't think I could handle that kind of rejection."

"Sometimes, you have to take those risks." Trowa told him. "Most of the time, it's better to let them know. Otherwise, you could, like Quatre said, ask yourself, what if, for the rest of your life. Not only that. To tell, even if they don't exept you, will most likely feel like a great weight has been lifted off your shoulders and you will feel more relaxed."

"You know, you just might be right. But, I think I'll wait until the time is right for me. I need some time to think about it. As well as all the stuff you two just told me. I will take it seriously, I mean, you probably did the same thing until you couldn't handle it anymore. So you confessed everything. Am I right? I could see all of your jumbled up and hidden emotions during the war." Heero said, small smile on his face.

"You know, I think your right." Quatre agreed.

With that, Heero went back to his room..........
