"DUO'S HEERO"

ShenLong


Part 1


Heero walked down the hallway towards the lounge, a couple of days had passed since *that* slanging match, accusations and then the inevitable break up had occurred.

[Flashback

Heero looked up from his laptop as a braided whirlwind passed through, sobs emanating from the form as he raced past Heero and headed for his room. A door slammed distantly. Heero sighed and once more began to tap away at the keys. A few seconds later a rather upset and angry Chinese boy stormed through the lounge room.

"On the trail of the braided one no doubt." thought Heero. He glanced up and watched Wufei disappear down the hallway and rap on Duo's door.

"Come on... open up Duo!" demanded the Chinese youth.

"Go away Wuffy... I have nothing to say to you." came the muffled response.

"Wuffy?" Heero's eyebrow quirked. He shut down his laptop and listened in.

"Duo.... we need to talk. I didn't mean to hurt you like this."

"Yeah well its a bit late for that now. Maybe you should have thought about that when you were off screwing him!" screamed back Duo.

Heero sat bolt upright. Did he just hear what he thought he heard? Wufei had cheated on Duo?

"Duo, please let me come in and explain, its not what you think..." Wufei's voice took on a pleading tone.

"No way man. I know what I saw and your not going to wheedle your way out of this one this time. You have done this to me once to often."

Heero could hear the pain in Duo's voice.

"Okay then! Fine! If that's the way you want it consider us through, finished, end of the line." yelled Wufei.

"That suits me Wufei. Just don't expect me to be waiting for your ass to come back here when he dumps you for another." returned Duo with as much anger as he could muster.

"Don't worry Duo. I wouldn't come back to you if you were the last person on the planet!" and with that last cug reg remark Wufei turned on his heel and marched back past a stunned Heero and out of the safe house.

Heero watched as Wufei strode past him his face red with suppressed rage. He knew better than to say anything, best to let the ShenLong pilot go and calm down. Still he couldn't help but wonder just who Wufei had been caught with to cause Duo to get so upset. He knew that the pair had been together for some time but lately the relationship appeared to be a little strained.

End flashback]

Heero sighed as he wandered into the lounge room and saw Duo sprawled upon the couch staring blankly into space. Wufei had gone on a mission much to everyone's relief so the tension in the air was a bit easier. Still there was a certain braided pilot who continued to mope around.

When Duo was happy his mouth seemed to go a mile a minute and his body bounced all over the place. The pilots had somehow adjusted to this hyperactive Duo and realized that it was just the braided ones way of living, but now... This was an entirely new side to Duo. At least when he was sick he would continue to mouth off. Granted it was usually whinging and complaining of being bored, but his mouth was still actively exercising. This quiet, mopey Duo was beginning to get on everyone's nerves, especially Heero's.

Heero sat down and began to thumb through the latest computer magazine, occasionally he would sneak a glance at the other boy. It hurt him to see the American still sad after what Wufei had done and he wished he had the courage to tell the other just he he really felt about him. He let his mind wander back.... back over the months. He wasn't sure how it had begun. He had spent a lot of time with the DeathScythe pilot on missions, staying in safe houses and generally hauling each others ass'es out of the Ozzies clutches. At first he found the other to be nothing but a loud mouthed irritating baka. For one who was used to speaking only when necessary to suddenly be thrust with a noisy individual; And a beautiful noisy individual at that, was to say the least, very annoying. But slowly Heero's opinion of Duo changed. He discovered that while the boy may talk a lot, what he said was usually interesting to listen to... if you had the time to do so that is. Underneath that loud extroverted appearance Heero discovered the true Duo. And what he found intrigued him... mesmerized him... captivated him.

He wanted to learn more....

He also lost his heart.

But Duo was already involved. The Chinese pilot had won the fey beauty and as much as Heero would have liked for Duo to be his, his sense of honor would not allow him to push in on someone else's territory.

So he continued to watch from a distance, unsure of how to deal with his feelings and quietly hoping that day day he would be able to find the courage he needed to tell the American beauty of his love for him.

Duo got up and headed back to his bedroom quietly shutting the door behind him.

Heero sat and very shortly the sounds of gently crying could be heard drifting from the American's room.

Heero sat undecided. Part of him wanted to go and comfort the boy, and part of him told him to stay out of it.

Heero sighed, the years of keeping his emotions and feelings in check, forcing himself to remain impassive and giving the others the impression that he was a cold emotionless bastard was beginning to take its toll.

He couldn't afford to let anyone get close to him. But when he was alone he could allow the emotion to surface... let his true feelings come through, and what emerged scared, shocked and excited him. He had watched as the other pilots slowly made their way towards each other. At first finding comfort and then more in each others arms. Quatre and Trowa had naturally gravitated towards each other, having similar interests aiding their relationship to develop and grow into the strong bond they now shared.

Wufei and Duo had similarly found each other and while they seemed to be total opposites somehow it had worked.... well for a while anyway. Heero was the only one who hadn't found comfort or solace in the arms of another pilot.

None of the others was aware of Heero's feelings for Duo. All they ever saw was the 'perfect soldier'..... but that was all Heero would allow them to see. Deep down Heero craved affection, longed for the touch of a certain other, yearned for love, but the object he desired this from belonged to another and Heero would never dream of attempting to lure the other away. So he watched, waited and secretly obsessed, keeping his feelings to himself and patiently hoping that someday..... someday.... he would be able to allow those feelings to surface and that he could possibly find the courage to let a certain violet eyed beauty know just how he felt about him.

Now it seemed he was about to get that chance.

So why then was he hesitating?

The quiet sobbing from Duo's room was tearing at the very fabric of Heero's soul. Heero let go a breath that he wasn't even aware he had been holding and unclenched his hands that had somehow made themselves into fists. He looked up as movement caught his eye.

Quatre and a ena entered the room hand in hand. They moved across to the couch and sat down. Quatre picked up the TV remote, flicked the on switch and began to surf through the channels.

Heero opened his lap top and tried to ignore their presence along with the occasional muffled sob that still made its way to his ears.

"You should go to him."

"Nani?" Heero's head jerked up as the blonde spoke.

"Quatre's right. You should go to him." said Trowa.

Heero stared into a calm emerald eye that appeared to pierce right to the center of his soul.

"He needs you Heero." said the uni banged boy softly.

Heero slumped and lowered his eyes. "He has Wufei." he spoke quietly and sadly.

"No. He had Wufei and Wufei used him. Wufei is gone now. Duo doesn't deserve what Wufei did to him and he is hurting. I can feel his pain. It is a pain of emptiness, of hurt and of loneliness. He is scared." said Quatre

"And just what do you expect me to do?" asked Heero glaring at the other two.

"Hold him, comfort him, fill the void by being there for him." said Trowa gently as he pulled Quatre closer to him.

"But most of all let him know you love him." added Quatre as he snuggled into Trowa's safe arms.

Heero's head jerked up as he heard Quatre's voice.

"Yes Heero.... love him." A pair of aquamarine eyes clashed with cobalt blue.

"I wasn't aware that I had made any statements to the effect that I feel anything for Duo." stated Heero flatly, once again sliding into his mask.

"Oh you haven't Heero. In fact you have kept your secret extremely well. Its only the rare piece of body language that I have picked up on that gave me the inkling that you feel something for Duo." replied Quatre.

"Hn." Heero hung his head in silent defeat.

"There's no need to be ashamed of your feelings. " continued Quatre.

"Hn. I could not take something that belonged to another regardless of how I felt." said Heero.

"Your sense of honor is to be admired Heero. But now he is alone, sad and hurting. Wufei has gone so there is nothing in your way anymore. So go... hold him... comfort him... but most of all love him for who he is." Trowa spoke quietly.

Heero gazed at Trowa, the long speech from the usually quiet boy stirring something deep within his soul.

"Hai. Mission accepted." said Heero and he got to his feet. Nodding at the two pilots, he left the room heading in the direction of Duo's gentle crying before he could change his mind.

Quatre snuggled even closer to Trowa and gazed into his one visible eye. "Do you think they have a chance?" he asked.

Trowa returned the gaze losing himself in his lovers aquamarine depths. He reached forward and whispered, "Who knows little one. Lets just give them some space and time and I'm sure that they will work something out." Then he softly took Quatre's lips in a gentle loving kiss.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Heero walked slowly down the hallway deep in thought. What should he say?.... How should he approach this?... What if Duo rejected him?.... His mind went around in circles always coming back to the what ifs. Without realizing it his feet stopped outside Duo's closed door. Nervously he stared at the door willing himself to stay calm and knock. He raised his hand and then lowered it.

"I can't do this." he thought to himself.

"Yes you can." said another voice.

Heero argued with his conscience as his hand raised and lowered again.

"I can't!"

"Yes you can, just go in there and comfort the boy, no one is asking any more of you." said his conscience.

Heero swallowed as his mouth went dry and then wiping his sweaty palms on his thighs he raised his hand yet again. Fresh sobbing emitted from behind the door making Heero's mind up. He reached up unable to bear the other's heartbreak any more and knocked.

"Go away."

Heero stood stunned. He hadn't expected this reaction.... He knocked again.

"I said go away. I don't want to talk to you Quatre."

Heero cleared his throat. "Duo its me....... Heero.... " he stated flatly.

"Heero?.... Oh..... Look Heero I'm really not good company at the moment." the sound was some what muffled.

"Hn. I don't care Duo. Let me in, I refuse to talk to you through a door."

The sounds of sobbing continued and Heero found his hand wandering down to the door knob. He encircled it and twisted pushing the door open as he did so. He stepped quietly into the room and closed the door behind him. Duo lay sprawled on his stomach across the large bed, his face buried in the pillow. The willowy frame shook and trembled as the sobs continued to come from within.

Heero felt a pain in his own chest as he bore witness to the other boys heartache. Silently he moved across the room until he stood next to the bed.

Duo continued his crying.

Tentatively Heero brought his hand forward and placed it on Duo's shoulder.

Duo's body jerked as he instinctively pulled away from the unexpected touch.

"Duo..." said Heero softly as his hand followed the recoil of Duo's body to remain resting on the 02 pilot's shoulder.

"I told you Heero, go away, I'm not good company at the moment." Duo continued to sob into the now very damp pillow.

"What happened Duo?" asked Heero bluntly.

Duo raised his red eyes from the pillow and looked at the Japanese pilot. "Certainly don't believe in using tact do you?" he growled

"Hn."

"Look Heero I really don't want to talk about it right now and even if I did I don't think that you would exactly be my choice of confidant... ummm no offense but you aren't really known for your compassion now are you? So do us both a favor and just go away and leave me alone." With that Duo rolled over turning his back to Heero and hugged his pillow close.

Heero sighed softly.s was wasn't working out the way he wanted it to or had hoped it would. But he wasn't about to give up that easily. His talents at hiding his true feelings must have been exceptional as Duo was obviously completely unaware that the Japanese teen felt anything for him.

"Damn!" he chided himself. He had been so good at masking his inner self that now when he needed the other boy to see him for what he really was he couldn't show him. Heero turned and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Duo feeling the mattress sink slightly under the others weight rolled over and confronted the other boy once more.

"You still here Yuy? I thought I asked you to leave."

Heero stared back. "Hai you did, but I'm not going anywhere Duo.... not until you tell me what happened."

Duo wiped the back of his hand across his eyes brushing the moisture from them. "Why Heero? What do you care." his voice was tinged with sadness.

Heero reached forward and placed his palm against Duo's cheek. "I care." he said softly.

Duo's eyes opened wide as Heero's words connected with his fogged brain. He stared at the other boy. "You care?"

"Hai."

Duo struggled to try to understand what Heero was saying to him. "But why Heero? You have never bothered with any of us before. Why should you care about what happened to me or what I feel?" Duo's sobs had quieted for the moment as he tried to make sense of the Japanese teen.

Heero continued to rest his palm against Duo's cheek, noting with some satisfaction that the other boy hadn't pulled away from the touch. He dared to reach out with his thumb and ran it across the plane of Duo's cheek bone.

Duo leaned softly into the caress.

Feeling bolder that he hadn't been rejected Heero pressed forward once more. "So tell me Duo... what happened, what did Wufei do to make you hurt so much?"

The soft words and gentle touch were too much for Duo. He reached out for Heero and wrapping his arms around Heero's neck buried his face into Heero's shoulder and let all his turmoil, pain and sadness come to the fore to be poured out onto Heero's strong shoulder.

Heero felt his own arms slide around Duo's waist and subconsciously he pulled the boy closer to him as he felt the others tears soak through his t shirt to moisten his skin. He ran a hand slowly up and down Duo's back gently rubbing and soothing the shivering skin.

"It's okay.... Its going to be all right... Just let it all out Duo." soothed Heero.

Gradually the sobs that wracked Duo's body slowed until they became sniffles. The death like grip of his arms around Heero's neck slackened and he eased his face so he could stare at Heero while still resting on the boys shoulder.

Heero feeling the shift moved himself so that Duo was still in his arms but cuddled close to his chest. He rested his chin upon Duo's head and risked a caress to Duo's cheek. "Please tell me."

Duo sighed. He wasn't sure just what was happening here. Heero was acting really strange but he found he liked this new side to the normally stoic pilot. In fact if he was totally honest with himself he had never really given up on the hope that he may someday manage to get the Wing pilot into his arms and into his bed. One down and one to go he thought wickedly and then mentally chided himself, this was not the time nor place, he was still hurting from Wufei's betrayal and Heero was trying to show him some form of compassion, he shouldn't be having these thoughts. But why not? his conscience told him. Because of Wufei.... Damn Wufei! At last he was getting to see underneath that mask to the real Heero. Suddenly he felt like he could tell Heero anything... anything at all and the other would still care. Forcing all other thoughts to leave his mind he swallowed and began his story.

Heero kept his mouth shut and let the other continue without interruption. His fingers caressed Duo's cheek while the other hand rested lightly on Duo's hip. Duo had his arms secured around Heero's waist using the Wing pilot as an anchor as the storm of emotion poured from him.

Duo had suspected Wufei of cheating on him for some time but the dragon was very careful and clever. It had taken Duo several months and a lot of stealth to witness what he had suspected and when he did his world shattered. A part of him had been hoping feverently that he would be wrong but underneath he knew he would be proven right. The shock had come when he found out just who his dragon had betrayed him for.

"Treize....."

Heero's eyebrows shot up & disappeared into his hairline. His body stiffened and he had to will himself not to run from the room and hunt down Wufei and kill him there and then. "Omae o korosu." he muttered.

Duo sensing Heero's inner anger and hearing the quiet mutter put a restraining hand on his arm. "No Heero." he said softly.

"But... but he has put us all in danger. He has jeopardized the entire mission and safety of his fellow pilots... he has to be silenced."

"No Heero. Despite what you think and what he has done to me he would not betray us to Oz."

"But he is sleeping with the enemy!" snarled Heero "Who knows what he is telling him."

"He wouldn't tell Treize anything about us, as I am sure Treize wont tell him anything of Oz's plans." said Duo. "Please Heero, just leave him be. Don't you think there has been enough hurt and pain for a while?"

Heero looked down at the beauty still cradled in his arms. Cobalt blue clashed with violet and Heero saw the raw emotion pleading with him in those depths. "Hai." he said quietly.

" I honestly thought we would be together for the rest of our lives... however short or long they may be with this war. But then to catch him in bed with another..... my world just fell apart and now... now I just don't know what to do..." Duo's voice trailed off as fresh tears traced their way down his cheeks.

Heero studied the boy in his arms. He could tell that Duo was torn... torn between his love for Wufei and the hurt and humiliation of being cheated on. He gently brushed the tears from Duo's cheeks and lowering his face he put a finger under Duo's chin and tilted his head so they were looking at each other.

"Heero?"

"I wont ever let him hurt you again Duo. I wont ever let anyone hurt you anymore." said Heero

Duo lost himself in Heero's depths. The emotion he could read there was stunning. He had no idea that 01 was capable of showing any form of emotion. He had to find out more of what he was glimpsing in those Prussian pools.

"Ummm Heero?" said Duo as he wiggled a bit closer

"Hai?" responded Heero.

"Call me a bit dense if you want to but just what is happening here? I am getting all sorts of weird signals from you. I mean I appreciate your concern and everything but ummm don't you think that this is a bit sudden? I mean its just not like you at all... and well... Oh hell I'm so confused!" Duo slumped back on to the bed.

Heero let him slide from his embrace and stared down at the DeathScythe pilot. "Duo?"

"Yes Heero?"

"I... well.... that is I..... Oh damnit Duo! I'm just no good at this." Heero got up from the bed and moved across the room.

"Heero... don't go. Stay with me." said Duo softly.

Heero stopped and looked back at the beauty on the bed.

Duo began to feel panic rising in his chest... He couldn't blow this chance... If Heero walked out that door he may never find out just what it was that had sparked between them, and he really wanted to find out if what his inner sense, and not to mention his hormones were telling him was remotely true.

"Please Heero?"

"Hn. Just wait there. I will be right back." and Heero left the room.

Duo rolled over and pondered this new side to Heero. He had often wondered about the Perfect Soldier, but no one had managed to get through the barriers he had placed around himself. Duo had begun to try earlier on but then Wufei and he had well, gotten involved and he just automatically thought that Heero would be with Relena seeing as how the two of them were always managing to end up close to each other. He wasn't sure which way Heero was inclined to swing though and he never dreamt that Heero could have a soft caring soul under that exterior shell, having never seen anything remotely emotive from the teen. The fact that the other boy had held him and comforted him sent tingles down his spine. Maybe there was hope for the Wing pilot yet, maybe he wasn't as callous as he would have you think.... And maybe... just maybe he wasn't interested in Relena after all.

Duo's thoughts were broken as the door opened again and Heero returned carrying something. He moved across to where Duo's stereo system sat on the side table and opening the case he removed the c.d. and inserted it into the machine. Picking up the remote he once more moved to the bed and sat beside Duo's reclining form.

"Duo..... I'm just not very good with words and there is something that I really need to tell you." Heero reached for Duo's hand.

Duo went to speak.

"Please just listen......"

Duo wrapped his fingers around Heero's and waited, his eyes locked with Heero's as a soft melody invaded the room......

// Let me be your hero... //

Duo's eyes opened wide as his brain began to absorb the words........

// Would you dance, if I asked you to dance ?
Would you run, and never look back ?
Would you cry, if you saw me crying ?
and would you save my soul tonight ? //

Heero's blue eyes bore a line of fire straight to the very center of Duo's brain, his mouth mimicked the words of the song as he searched Duo's face.

Duo blinked as the words Heero was miming hit home. He tightened his fingers around Heero's even more....... things were beginning to look up.

// Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh ? Oh please tell me this,
Now would you die, for the one you love ?
Hold me in your arms tonight. //

Heero reached up and ran his thumb gently across Duo's lips. Their eyes still locked together.

Duo parted his lips slightly and his pink tongue darted out to flick across the ball of Heero's thumb. A smile tugged gently at the corners of his mouth as he slid his arms around Heero's waist and pulled the teen towards him.

Heero never took his eyes from the fey beauty as he watched the boy caress his thumb and then ever so gently he leaned towards those tempting lips.

// I can be your hero baby,
I can kiss away the pain,
I will stand by you forever,
You can take my breath away //

Heero breathed the words across Duo's face before leaning in and brushing his lips ever so gently across Duo's that the braided one wasn't sure if he had been kissed or not.

Duo looked at Heero's clouded emotion filled eyes and finally began to understand just what it was the dark haired beauty was feeling for him. His intuition was right.... and if his hormones were correct and he interpreted Heero's signals the right way then Relena was out of luck.... He smiled to himself.

// Would you swear, that you will always be mine?
Would you lie ? would you run and hide ?
Am I in too deep ? Have I lost my mind ?
I don't care, your here tonight //

Duo smiled at Heero's words...... Lie ? never... he never lied..... Run and hide ? well that was after all part of his motto was it not ? "I will never lie to you Heero.." he said quietly.

Heero looked at the violet eyed boys face searching for any clue as to what he may be thinking, he just hoped he wasn't making a huge mistake. Taking Duo's face and cupping it in his hands he continued to mouth the words of the song.

// I can be your hero baby,
I can kiss away the pain,
I will stand by you forever,
You can take my breath away.. //

This time Duo reached forward and brushed his lips across Heero's causing the Japanese teen to falter slightly. Duo smiled as he pulled back and noted the expression on Heero's face and the slight flush of his cheeks.

Heero quickly composed himself and continued with his song.

// Oh I just want to hold you, I just want to hold you, oh yeah,
Am I in too deep ? Have I lost my mind ?
Well I don't care your here tonight //

Well if you are in too deep then let me save you, and as for losing your mind I think it just went south with mine thought Duo.

Heero's arms slid once more around Duo's slender frame and he pulled the youth towards him whispering softly in his ear...

// I can be your hero baby,
I can kiss away the pain,
I will stand by you forever,
You can take my breath away. //

Duo sighed contentedly as he rested in Heero's arms. The pain in his heart easing with the others soft words and ministrations.

Heero began a series of soft kisses down Duo's cheek around his jaw and along the slender flesh of his neck.

// I can be your hero baby,
I can kiss away the pain,
I will stand by you forever,
You can take my breath away. //

Groaning quietly Duo managed to pull away from Heero's caring teasing kisses and stared into those cobalt eyes once more now fully understanding the others love for him.

Gazing at Duo Heero put all the love and emotion he felt into his eyes and the last few words...

// You can take my breath away...
And I can be your hero...... //

Duo leaned forward and searched Heero's face "Yes... you can be my hero Heero." And then he took the others lips in a soul shattering kiss.

Heero felt on fire. Never had he experienced anything like this. Duo felt so right in his arms. The touch of the others lips only serving to fuel the fire in his soul even more, fanning and feeding the flames till an inferno raged inside.

Duo regretfully released Heero's lips as his body demanded oxygen. Staring into lust filled cobalt eyes he lost himself. Drowning in the deep blue pools so full of unspoken love Duo reached up and ran his fingers down the others face tracing the line from eyes to jaw line and caressed the chin of his soon to be new lover.

Heero watched through half lidded eyes as various emotions played across Duos expressive violet orbs. He hoped that the other understood tessaessage he had been trying to convey to him. He was pretty sure that he had though if that kiss was any indication.

Duo found Heero's attempt to let him know of his emotions so sweet, all he wanted to do was lock his lips to the others and stay there for eternity. So he reached again and stole another gentle yet demanding kiss. As he pulled back he could see the lust in Heero's eyes touched with a hint of..... was that fear?

Heero panted softly, his lips bruised and swollen from the kisses his body responding to the feel of anothers lips against his. Who could have guessed that kissing could be so... so ... so sensual.

"Heero?"

The sound of that voice calling his name brought him back to planet earth with a jolt. He looked at the braided boy in his arms. "Hai?"

"Please promise you wont kill me but I have to ask this.." Duo moved back a little more in effect breaking the warm embrace. He moved to sit against the head board of the bed staring into Heero's eyes. He watched as Heero lowered his cobalt orbs silently breaking the contact.

Heero traced the patterns of the bed spread not wanting to meet the others eyes as he had a feeling he knew what Duo was about to ask and he didn't want to be ridiculed for the emotions he knew would be displayed upon his face as he answered.

"Ummm Heero...... You haven't done anything like this before have you...?" asked Duo quietly.

Heero stopped his assault on the bed spread. "Hn.... no..."

A hand snaked its way across the gap the separated the two teens and wrapped itself firmly around Heero's wrist. The thumb began to stroke gently but firmly.

Heero let his eyes wander up from the bed to the long elegant legs, following them up over well muscled thighs over the hips ensconced beneath the loose shirt, up the chest, noting the rise and fall as his gaze traveled onwards till he found those amethyst jewels. The compassion , love and lust that he saw there both excited and frightened him. He trembled.

Duo seeing the slight tremble felt his heart melt with love for the other pilot. "It's okay Heero. Its going to all be okay ." he said softly his thumb continuing to stroke the others wrist.

"I..I... I'm not sure Duo..... I'm not sure of what to do... how to react... what it is that's expected of me... I know nothing of this and that is what scares me..." Heero hung his head in shame, his face turning red.

Duo scooted across the bed and pulled the Wing pilot close to his chest wrapping his arms around Heero's body in the process. "Don't!" he hissed. "Don't ever be scared around me. I know this is all a bit overwhelming to you but please Heero trust me...."

Duo reached under Heero's chin with his finger and tilted the others face so he could stare deep into the teens eyes. Reading the passion ther kis kissed those ruby lips gently before continuing. "Heero..... ummmm...... You're a virgin aren't you?"

Heero nodded miserably. Now what was Duo going to think of him?

"My sweet sweet Heero..... So beautiful... so lovely and as yet untouched..... Have I got some things to show and teach you..." Duo chuckled softly as he ran his fingers teasingly across the skin of Heero's cheek. He took Heero's lips in another soft kiss noting with satisfaction that the other had begun to relax a little.

"Do you trust me Heero?" asked Duo.

Heero licked his lips and thought for a moment. "But what of Wufei? " he berated himself for asking this but knew he couldn't proceed any further until it was completely clear that the Chinese pilot was no longer an influence.

Duo's eyes clouded slightly. "He left me remember." he stated flatly. "He was the one that was doing the cheating and there is no way on this earth or colonies that I would have him back in my bed after what he has done."

Heero stared at Duo knowing that the DeathScythe pilot was telling him the truth. Raising his head he stared into Duo' eyes again. "Hai.... I trust you Duo." he said with warmth and conviction in his voice.

Duo's face split into a large wicked grin as he pulled the Wing pilot closer to him.

Heero cringed as he wondered just what he had gotten himself into here.

Duo whispered " I will show you all sorts of things Heero. Pleasure like you have never known, just trust me okay... I would never hurt you..... I care for you too much to ever hurt you Heero."

Heero snuggled closer into the braided ones embrace. Duo cared for him? He was so happy that he had listened to Quatre and Trowa now and taken this step. At last he could let someone get close to him and return those feelings. He sighed softly, happy and content to just lie in Duo's arms and feel the other in his own.

Softly stroking Heero's unruly mop of hair Duo thought about the recent turmoil and sudden change in his life. Oh he had known that his relationship with Wuffy had been coming to an end, he was just too stubborn to have admitted it to himself. He hadn't wanted to acknowledge the termination as he was afraid... afraid of being alone. But all that had changed in the past hour. For some time he had wondered and lusted over the Japanese teen never allowing those feelings to go any further and now...... Who would have thought that the normally stoic Mr perfect soldier was able to return those feelings? And even more important wanted to? A smile graced his lips as he thought of Heero's admission..... The boy was still a virgin! He couldn't believe his luck! Oh kami was this going to be interesting......

"Duo?"

"Yes Heero."
