Chapter 5 - day 1, evening
While Sally took Heero's vitals the last of the former pilots showed up. Quatre, being Quatre came bearing an armload of gifts. Though Heero thought the best gift was his sunny happy smile, and his and Trowa's acceptance. Quatre's Space heart told him, that things between Heero and Wufei had gone well, and that caused his sunny smile to brighten even that much more.
As the talkative blonde questioned Heero about how he was feeling and how his 'first day' had been so far. Duo, motioned Sally outside the room and the pair disappeared for a while. When Duo returned several minutes later, sans Sally, he had a cotton ball with a band aide over it in the crook of his elbow. Not something he could hide as it was late June or early July by Heero's estimations, this coming from the old Heero's memories and how long she had been out of it, so it was far too hot to wear long sleeves. Heero noted it and was curious as to why Duo had given blood, but she was too busy answering Quatre's questions to say anything. The cobalt eyes glanced at the cotton ball and then into the violet gaze. Duo's shrugged and look said they would talk about it later. Sally came back a short while later and gave Duo a big smile, with a quick thumbs up. The barely discernable tenseness that had been in the shoulders of the Chestnut haired male disappeared and his face brightened just ever so slightly.
Knowing that Heero would tire easily, having only just woken up the day before the other pilots stayed for only about an hour or so. Sally who was working the evening shift had left the room earlier but promised to look in on Heero later that evening. Leaving the 01 and 02 pilots alone once again.
As Duo closed the door behind Trowa and Quatre, he locked it again. It had been great having the others here, and seeing how much they were supporting the new Heero. But Duo was glad to have Heero all to himself again. He knew it was selfish, but he really didn't care. Having watched Quatre's and Trowa's bond form during the first war, and the fact that their love had only deepened over the last 4 years, had Duo wanting the same thing for himself and Heero. Secretly he had always wanted it, that bond, that closeness, the love they obviously shared so openly and freely. And if he was really honest with himself he had wanted it with Heero, a Heero that could and would return those things. Now that he had it, he wasn't planning on letting go, ever. Walking back to the bed he pealed off the band aide covered cotton ball and tossed it in the trash.
"So what you had done, it was good news?" Duo grinned as he sat on the end of the bed Indian style.
"Hm, yeah really good news." Heero just raised a questioning dark brow. "I had Sal test me, for um, STD's. I know it's gonna be long time before we get to that point, but seeing as I'm pretty sure we are." Duo blushed adorably, pulled his knees up and rested his chin on them as he wrapped his arms around them, but his eye's continued to look straight into Heero's. "I just wanted to, you know make sure I was clean."
"Ah." Duo dropped one of his hands and reached for the one laying at Heero's side their fingers lacing.
"I-I've only gone all the way with 3 different people, 2 of which I'm sure of, but there was one…..It was a mistake, a huge one, and one I haven't made again. But that was the last time I, um well.... it's been about a year now, I suppose I should have done this sooner, but….."
"Did he hurt you?" Concern showed clearly in Heero's cobalt blue gaze. Of all the responses Duo had thought he might get this wasn't one of them and it warmed his heart even more. He briefly closed his eyes and shook his head, chin still resting on his knees.
"Naw, just a stupid one night stand, a guy I met in one of the clubs I sometimes go to. Afterwards I felt dirty and used, I swore I'd never do that again. People seem to think, cause of the way I look that I'm easy. I'm not."
"I know, even the old Heero knew that much." Duo smiled softly his lovely violet eyes shined.
"Hee-chan?"
"Hm." Duo cocked his head.
"How long do you think it will be before we do get to second base?" Heero's heart warmed and she squeezed the fingers holding hers.
"Honestly, it may be a couple of days before I'm physically up to it." Then Heero grinned and chuckled.
"Huh?'
"Speaking of 'up', Sally mentioned that some of the medications they have me on may um, interfere with certain bodily functions." Duo flashed a quick cocky grin before jumping off the bed and flipping open Heero's medical chart. He wasn't an ex-Gundam pilot for nothing, he scanned the medications noted and dosages and whistled softly.
"Gee Hee-chan, no wonder ya ain't feelin no pain… Huh, looks like 3rd base is gonna have to wait until you're off most of these." Duo winked at Heero and Heero smirked.
"Gives me time to learn how to pee first." Duo looked up at the clock it had been quite a while.
"Gotta go again?"
Heero just blushed and nodded. Bathroom experience number two went much smoother, than bathroom experience number one. Still embarrassing of course, but at least the aim was better. By the time Duo got Heero settled back in bed it was almost the end of visiting hours. Duo sighed heavily as he looked at the clock.
"I'm going to have to go soon. Now that you're awake I'm pretty sure they won't let me stay here after hours. Crap." Duo sitting on the side of the bed again holding Heero hand again, she tugged it signaling him to scoot a closer.
"I'll be okay. I'm not going anywhere Duo, and with all the crap Quatre brought today I won't be bored for a year maybe more." Duo grinned at that, Quatre had brought Heero books and magazines in several languages, puzzle books, even a deck of cards. Heero appreciated the thought and the obvious thought and effort the blonde Arabian had put into his gifts. Not only would they help stave off boredom, but having to decipher multiple languages would help the new Heero access and learn how to use that particular skill. The old Heero, like most of the Gundam pilots spoke and read several languages. Though English or 'Trade Standard' as it was called now, was the most commonly used and spoken.
"Yeah, but, Ah Hell." Duo ran his free hand thru his bangs and over his head.
"Door locked?"
"Huh?"
"Is the door locked?"
"Well yeah…" Violet eyes softened and looked into the smiling cobalt blue ones.
"Then come here and let me say goodnight."
Duo happily complied, sighing as he draped his free arm over Heero's waist and leaned in to allow the ex-wing pilot to capture his lips. Heero wrapped his right arm around Duo's trim waist and pulled him up against his hard chest. What a concept, she thought idly in the back of her brain, she had a hard muscular chest now, and not the soft full one she used too. When she was a woman she had liked that she had a big chest because men, noticed it and liked it, especially Duo's counterpart. Now that she was a man, she was surprised to find she really liked the hard planes of her new chest. She might have pursued that thought farther but Duo's tongue had just entered her mouth. She moaned into the kiss and Duo sighed and the kiss deepened even farther. The hands they had still been holding broke apart as Duo reached up to dig it into Heero's messy dark chocolate colored hair, Heero placed hers on Duo's waist and then wrapped it up and around to stroke the well toned back under her fingers.
Eventually they had to breathe, so the initial kiss broke. But they didn't separate. Instead this time they exchanged small kisses, licked, sucked and nibbled on each other lips. Duo the more mobile of the two, and obviously on top at the moment, nibbled and kissed his way down Heero's chin and jaw line and back again. They engaged in another heated passionate kiss. Heero's left hand slipped around Duo's body, slid up and over his collar bone and neck to cup his chin. Pulling back slightly Duo smiled lazily, his amazing violet eye's had darkened to amethyst and had a dreamy expression that caused Heero's heart to skip a beat. All in all he looked well and thoroughly kissed. Heero traced his thumb over the red softened lips and Duo, sucked it in and lightly bit the tip as he gazed into Heero's eyes. Which were so dark now they were almost midnight blue in color.
The sight Duo made when he had nibbled Heero's thumb was perhaps the most beautiful and sexy thing Heero had ever seen. Duo was having similar thoughts about how the somewhat breathless Japanese male looked with his softly swollen red lips and deep blue eyes. Then a glimmer entered those cobalt blue depths, and soft smile formed that transformed the usually serious face.
"So, think that'll hold ya till tomorrow." Heero leaned forward to place a quick kiss on the end of Duo's nose, which made the other grin and his eye's started to sparkle as well.
"Yeah that'll do. Well, at least until I can get you to take me to second base." Heero laughed and pulled the fey creature back towards her lips.
It was quite a bit longer before they finally broke away and Duo left for the night.
AN: And so Ends Day 1. I have the rest of the hospital stay written, now I just gotta type it, edit it blah, blah, blah... then it will be time to check out and time for Heero to really start living as.... well Heero.
