Chapter 2

            Heero slowly brought himself awake when he felt pressure on his left arm. He really didn’t want to wake up as he found himself feeling pain free for the first time. Well pain free except for the annoying pressure that kept happening to his left arm. When he felt said pressure for the third time he started to fell annoyed. He wanted to sleep. As he slowly opened his eyes he saw a white ceiling over his head. Frowning he wondered where he was as he knew his room was not white. Turning his head, he saw a cuff on his arm, looking higher he saw a monitor hooked to said cuff. That’s right he was in the hospital. Duo had brought him in to the emergency room when he had seen blood in the toilet. Damn, he couldn’t afford a hospital bill, he needed to get out of there. Carefully, he slid his right leg to the side of the bed and using his right hand to help pull himself up, he got as far as halfway before he heard a voice to his right.

            “Yeah granddad, I will see you when I come home. I should be there in a couple of days. I love you.” There was silence after that and Heero used the time to try and pull himself up so that he could leave the hospital bed. He felt a hand land on his shoulder and slowly push him back down towards the bed.

            “Whoa baby. Where do you think you are going?” Heero looked up and found himself mesmerized by the clear violet color of Duo’s eyes. Heero felt his back hit the mattress. “If you think that you are leaving this bed you have another thing coming. The doctor says that you have a bleeding ulcer that needs to be watched for the next twelve hours. He was also worried about the migraine that you had so you are stuck here.”

            “I can’t afford a stay in the hospital. I need to get back home.” Heero growled. “And where the hell is my glasses, I can’t see a damn thing!”

            Duo smirked as he pulled said glasses from his shirt pocket and placed them gently on Heero’s face. “Don’t worry about the hospital bill. I will take care of it. You just concentrate on getting better.”

            “I can pay for my own bills, thank you very much.” Heero said.

            “Look, let’s not argue over this now, ok? There are other things that we need to discuss.”

            “Like what?” Heero asked.

            “While they were doing the gastroscopy on you, I called my lawyer and asked her to look over the copy of the will you gave me.” Duo paused for a moment and then said, “The short of it is from the quick look that she gave it, given the way that it was written it can be contested by Anne.”

            “So what do you plan to do?” asked Heero.

            Duo ran his hand through his bangs. Heero watched, wishing it was his hand that was playing with that soft, silky hair. ‘Wait, what am I thinking? I do not want to be playing with Duo’s hair!’ Heero swore he heard a little voice in the back of head calling him a liar.

            “I talked to dad a few minutes ago and I know that neither he or Quatre are seeing anyone at this time so I hardly doubt that they will be getting married anytime soon. As I can see it that is the only way in which to keep control of the ranch after granddad….” Duo looked down for a moment trying to keep the tears from forming in his eyes. Taking a deep breath he looked up at Heero again and said, “I think I have found a way to both save the ranch and to keep Anne of our backs at the same time.”

            Heero looked at Duo with a wary look in his eyes. “What are you planning on doing?” he asked.

            At the mischievous twinkle in Duo’s eyes, Heero found himself feeling suddenly nervous. Years of knowing Duo showed that once he got that glint in his eyes it would not bode well for Heero. “It is simple really. You and I are going to get married.”

            Duo watched as the words sank into Heero’s brain, he knew that in about three seconds the fireworks would start. He was not disappointed.

            “Are you out of your COTTON PICKEN MIND! I AM NOT GOING TO MARRY YOU! NO WAY, NO HOW!” Heero yelled.

            “Now Heero….”

            Heero pointed at Duo and said, “Don’t you, now Heero, me! We are not getting married and that is final.” Yep, there was that glint again in Duo’s eyes. It was not going to bode well for him, he could just feel it.

            Two days, it had been two days since Heero had spoken to him other than when he had spoken his vows through clenched teeth. It had been surprisingly easy to get Heero to agree to the marriage. All he had to do was to play on his love for the ranch and he knew that Heero would give in. He glanced down at the marriage license that sat on the dash of his Jaguar. It was now legal, Heero belonged to him, at least for now. It was the perfect solution. The ranch would stay in the family and the will theoretically could not be contested. It would also keep the little shit sitting next to him from working himself to death. Duo had been shocked when the doctor’s had told him about the ulcer. No way should a man of twenty three be suffering from ulcers and migraines.

            As Duo exited the highway, he stole a glace over at Heero. Yep, still mad. Taking a deep breath he asked, “How are you feeling?”

            “Fine”

            Duo felt his teeth start to grind together and he suppressed the urge to reach over and shake the hell out of Heero. He never remembered Heero being quite so disagreeable and cranky. Once upon a time Heero used to be all smiles and hung on every word Duo said. Smiling to himself, he realized that he missed it. Well maybe the hanging on every word part was a bit much, he kinda liked Heero having an independent streak, but it was the smiles that he missed the most. Heero had the most beautiful smile.

            ‘No,’ Duo thought to himself, ‘No thinking about his smile. You are only here to make sure the ranch is safe and Heero is getting better and then you are going home. Where you belong.’ Somewhere, somehow he knew that the fates were laughing at his expense.

            “No pain?” Duo asked.

            Heero continued to lean back in the seat with his eyes closed. “No.”

            Gritting his teeth again, Duo asked, “So what would it take to make the ranch more profitable?”

            “Doesn’t matter.”

            “God damn it Heero!” Taking a deep breath, he seemed to be doing that a lot lately, he tried again. “It does matter. I didn’t marry you to save the ranch from Anne if it is only going to keep losing money. I want the ranch to make a profit so that you, dad, Quatre and Treize will have a home and an income. Since you are the manager of the place I figure you have some ideas on how to make that happen.”

            “What do you mean? You plan on fixing things and then just going about on your merry way? Yeah, that sounds about right. Running away again.” Heero said with a sarcastic tone.

            “Heero, I did not run away. Y’all knew where I was and how to contact me.” He wasn’t about to mention that he wanted Heero to have a chance to grow up and that if he had stayed Heero would have been his years ago. “I also have a life in Denver. I cannot just abandon my career there. Trowa and I have worked very hard to make it this far and I can’t just walk away. Now since we know that it is only a matter of time before granddad……well when we lose him, I want to make sure all is well. I will have the ranch put in my name so that I can pay the inheritance tax and then I will lend the ranch some money to get it back on its feet.”

            “Look, we both know why you left ok? We both know that night of my eighteen birthday was a mistake, and trust me it is not one that I will let happen again. I am not naïve anymore.”

            Duo swore that he was going to need dental work by the time he went back to Denver from the amount of time he spent gritting his teeth. He knew the night that Heero was talking about, it was one that would forever be etched in his memory. He had come home for a visit for Heero’s birthday and after the small family party he went to his room only to find Heero in there waiting for him. Heero had looked so beautiful that night and he had been unable to resist. That night he had made love to Heero and it had been perfect, too perfect. The next day, he had left, knowing that if he had stayed he would have made love to him again.

            “I will say it again Heero, I want to make sure the ranch is making a profit. So if you would be so kind as to tell what I need to know we can get this done.”

            Heero was quiet for a moment. Then he turned to Duo and said, “We need to increase the herd size. We have not been able to afford to keep the same amount of cattle that we did years ago. We also want to start training bulls and cutting horses for the rodeo. Your father still has some contacts from when he rode the circuit and we thought it might be a good way to bring in some extra money.”

            “Have you checked into what it would cost to start this venture? Where would you get the bulls and the horses? How reliable are dad’s contacts?”

            “I have started to check into the cost, but with all that has been going on I have not been able to get everything worked out. I do have some of the plans saved on my computer, I can show you when we get there.”

            “That’s sounds good. We can look at it in a couple of days.” There was no way he was going to let Heero start working as soon as he got home. Nope, no way. Slowing the car he turned into the long drive that would take them to the house. He gazed at the wrought iron sign over the drive, Indian Hill Ranch, and felt a sense of peace settle over him. “We’re here.”

            Looking over at Heero he saw the slight smile that flitted across the young man’s face. He felt his heart skip a beat at the sight. This was why he had come up with this plan. To take some of the pressure off of Heero and to bring back that smile.

            “Do you really think this is going to work?” Heero asked. “I mean this plan has the potential to blow up in our face. Wyoming does not legally acknowledge same sex marriage.”

            “According to my lawyer it does not have to be legal in Wyoming but just be legal just somewhere in the United States. Since it is legal in a few states it will work to keep Anne off of our backs.”

            “What about any decisions that need to be made about the ranch? If it is in your name, are you going to be making all of the decisions?”

            “Trust me Heero, I will not make any decisions about the ranch without consulting with you first. I know that you are the manager of the ranch so it would be wise for us to work together.” As long as they did not cause Heero more stress.

            “Promise.”

            “Yes. I promise.” Heero seemed to be satisfied with that answer because he watched as the tension slowly leaked out of the stiff shoulders of the man beside him. If he had known that all it would take was a promise like this he would have made it earlier. Duo’s lawyer had told him that the will would most likely be contested when the time came but he wanted to try to take this route first. He knew from Heero’s own experience with his own family, that he would not like to drag this drama into the court system. So it was why they were now in this marriage of convenience. He held no dreams of this marriage being a happily ever after. If he did stay, he knew that he would be tempted to make this marriage real, then when he left……well he couldn’t do that to Heero.

            “What the hell?!!!” Heero exclaimed.

            Duo looked straight ahead to see what had Heero so angry. It was then that he spotted the Lincoln sitting in front of the house with the license plate that read Lady Anne. Well this would be a good test as to whether or not he would have a fight on his hands over the land.

            “So what is the bitch from hell doing here?” Duo asked. He hadn’t like Anne since she had left years ago, taking with her the person that broke his father’s heart. While his father had been on the rodeo circuit he had kept his bi sexuality to himself. Rodeo riders were not known to be friendly to those who liked members of their own sex. In the early years, when his father had been trying to come to terms over it, he had slept with the two women that would produce his brother and himself. However it had been Travis that he had fallen head over heels for, Travis who had stated that he could not live his life on a ranch and had left with Anne at the first chance he could. Nope, no love lost between him and his aunt.

            “Howard had been asking for her but I honestly did not think she would show up.” Heero said.

            “Think she brought him with her?”

            “I don’t know but I have to check on dad.” Heero growled.

            Duo grabbed ahold of Heero’s arm before he could open the door. “Whoa, hold on. You don’t have your seat belt off.” Duo wondered if Heero even realized that he had called Zechs dad. Probably not given the temper he was in. “Heero you need to calm down. Remember, we have an ace in the hole. We are married so we have won the first round. Can anyone access your computer?”

            “The only one who can is Quatre, but I don’t see him giving her the password.”

            “Good. Then we let Anne spend some time with granddad and then send her on her way. Trust me, she is not going to want to stay here.” He looked at Heero and noticed that he still had dark circles under his eyes. There was no way he was going to allow that woman to stress Heero out. No way at all. “Come here baby.”

            Heero turned and glared at Duo. “What did you call me?”

            Duo couldn’t help but think of how cute Heero looked when he glared. He suddenly got the insane urge to kiss that glare off of his face. He knew that he shouldn’t. It was a complication that he didn’t need. Screw that, he wanted and he was going to get what he wanted. He leaned forward and grabbing Heero’s chin with his left hand, pulled him closer. Slanting his mouth over Heero’s he took the kiss that deep down he knew he had wanted since he first saw him standing in his apartment doorway.

            A slight whimper left Heero’s mouth before he started kissing Duo back. Just the taste of Duo was enough to reduce him to jelly. He grabbed the front of Duo’s shirt with one hand while the other slowly inched its way up to wrap around Duo’s neck. He never wanted the kiss to end but he knew that he needed to pull back. It would not be good to allow Duo to kiss him. Duo was going back to Denver.

            Pulling away he growled, “What the hell doing you think you’re….?”

            “Shhh….” Duo tilted his head towards the front of the house. He hoped that Heero would think that the kiss was for his family’s benefit.

            The passenger door opened and Treize poked his head inside. “Well look here, the prodigal son has returned.”

            The driver side door opened next and Duo saw his brother standing there with a smile on his face. “Yeah, and he brought Duo home with him. Hey big brother.”

            “I think Treize was talking about your brother.” came a dry reply.

            Duo unbuckled his seat belt and hurried out of the car. Immediately he was caught up in a big hug by his father. He hugged his father back with just as much strength. It was so good to be home.

            “Hi dad.”

            “It’s good to have you home Duo. Did you take care of our boy?”

            Duo turned to look at his brother and Treize fussing over Heero and nearly laughed. Heero was trying so hard to get away but neither would let him. Turning back to his father he said, “I tried. You know how stubborn he can be.”

            “Trust me, we know how stubborn the brat can be.” laughed Quatre, ducking a swat aimed at his head by Heero. Running away from Heero he ran around the car to give Duo his own huge hug. “It’s about time you came home bro.”

            “Stop calling me brat.” Heero growled. “Asshole.”

            Quatre turned to flip Heero the middle finger saying, “You called.” He turned back to look at Duo with a serious face. “You see who also showed up don’t ya.”

            “Yeah, can we kick her off the ranch yet?” Duo asked.

            “We would love to but granddad has wanted to see her. I am surprised that she even came.”

            Duo looked at the porch and saw that Anne was standing there in what he knew was an expensive suit. She looked totally out of place and Duo couldn’t help but smile over the discomfort that was evident on her face. Lifting her chin in the haughty way that only she could do, she walked down the steps of the porch towards the little group.

            Stopping in front of Duo she smiled but it never seemed to reach her eyes. “Duo, my how you have grown. Did you finally decide to come home or did the …” she turned and looked at Heero disdainfully “little orphan freeloader drag you back?”

            “And by orphan freeloader I assume you mean my husband.” Duo smiled as coldly as Anne had when he added, “Go ahead call him a freeloader again. I dare you. I have never hit a woman in my life but I can always make an exception.”
