Notes: Written on ~ August 23,2002 ~ I could end this now. I really don't want to, but if I don't get reviews I will. It's not a threat. *Leers* I just need to know that it's liked or disliked. ^_^ It's 3 in the morning… it better be liked. (I'm kidding.) Anyway, like I said, after I see how it does, I'll either leave it or add some twists and turns and DEFINITLY a lemon or 5. Mmm… / Denotes thoughts /

Curiosity's Reward


So there Heero lay, one leg crossed over the other, hands planted firmly behind his head. His eyes rested shut as he tried to draw himself into a remedial slumber. Yes, it was much needed, as exhaustion showed through his uncommon position and the lines of fatigue that flowed freely through his face. A time alone, when finally he could revel in the humanity he never showed, that he was never permitted to show. At long last, nobody would bother him.


The weary boy pulled himself up and stripped off his shirt. He crossed his arms to grab the bottom of it, hastily pulling it over his head. Suddenly he paused. Nobody but Duo would bother him… and where was Duo anyway? No mission orders lately. Even so, he would have known down to the second would there have been. After a moment he dismissed all thoughts of Duo and proceeded to ball his shirt in his hand and throw it in his duffel near the door. It slapped the doorknob making the little protruding piece that held the rotted wood shut, creak open.


/Perfect. Yeah right. What would Du-./ His thoughts were halted when he heard footsteps. /Duo./ He recognized.


He memorized the distinct sound of Duo's feet against the pavement. A shuffle and a drag, shuffle, drag, shuffle… There's two. /Who?/ Heero wondered. He remembered back earlier that night when Duo waved a quick hand and shot out the door with a sparkling face and a skimpy outfit. Heero wrinkled his nose. /It's none of my business, as Duo says all the time… curiosity killed the cat./ But everything that Duo did brought forth a curiosity in him. Why was that?


He shook the endless thought out of his head when he heard Duo laughing. Really laughing. Heero noted that it wasn't one of those fake laughs he pulls to try to get his clumsy ass out of trouble or even when he tries to hide his hurt. Out of nowhere, the oddest consideration popped into his head… /Why doesn't he ever laugh like that around me?/


He quickly turned his attention to them when he heard them talking quietly, whispering. He was curious. So he used his stealth to creep up to the splintered cedar door. Only an eye could peer through the opening, which was perfect for Heero's snooping. Then he saw… their position clearly showed the attraction between them and that the other person sure looked like a guy. Duo and the mystery boy turned slightly so that they were standing sideways to the door, in which it gave Heero a perfect view of everything. It was a boy! /How come I didn't know this? I… I don't really know what to think. / He thought as he blinked. /What are they doing?/ Heero watched the older looking, but seemingly handsome boy pull Duo close. Heero's eyes narrowed unconsciously as he saw the boy whisper in Duo's ear and smile triumphantly when he would hear Duo let out the occasional giggle.


"Shh! You're gonna wake up my roommate." Duo chuckled.


"Aww, he won't mind. After all…" the boy said, whispering the rest of his reasoning.


Duo laughed loudly, then quickly covered his mouth. The braided boy slapped him playfully on the arm.


There was a moment of silence and then the boy suddenly took Duo's lips in his own. It was a sweet kiss. A goodbye one perhaps. Heero's eyes widened. Again he was curious. His eyes widened further when he saw Duo's pink tongue shoot out and tease the boy's for long moments, their breaths becoming slightly deeper. As Heero spied, he wondered just how long it would last. Duo certainly seemed to be enjoying it…


"Thank you for tonight Duo. I needed it. It's really good to know that there are still decent people out there." He said, motioning his head in the direction that they came from.


"It's no problem. It was great. You are a great guy." Duo replied, letting his slender fingers run along the boy's cheek.


"Maybe… maybe I can see you again?" The boy asked.


"Yeah, sure." Duo answered smiling, even though he knew that he wouldn't probably ever again. He and Heero would be long gone by the 'next time'.


"Goodnight Duo."


"Night Caleb."


Heero watched as Duo and Caleb kissed one last time.


Suddenly, somehow, as he got caught up in all of his observation, he had forgotten where he was and that if he in fact stayed in that spot, Duo would undoubtedly catch him. He slightly panicked. There was no time to make it to the bed and still look normal. So as the door opened, he followed the momentum and hid behind it. Duo trudged in, his foot hitting something. /Heero's shirt./ He tucked it in the nearby duffel. /Is he okay?/


"Heero?"


Heero hesitated before coming up behind him.


"Yeah Duo." The cobalt eyed boy said.


He just couldn't get Duo's mouth and tongue out of his mind. It moved with such grace and experience. So warm and moist… it boggled Heero's mind.


Duo jumped out of his skin. He looked behind him clutching at his heart.


"Jesus Heero, don't do that."


Heero stared. "What do you want?"


Duo stared back at Heero. /Ooh, no shirt, did I ever come back at a rewarding time./ He looked again. Wait, why was…


"Why are you behind the door?" He asked, pointing.


Heero continued to look intently at Duo, not saying a word. The shorthaired boy unconsciously began lightly running his fingertips over his own lean stomach. Duo's eyes immediately followed the atypical act.


"Heero!?" He asked incredulously. Whether it was to respond to the question or to question his actions, Duo didn't know.


Heero shook out of his stupor, "What?"


"Why were you behind the door?"


Heero avoided the question by asking one of his own, " What does it feel like?"


"Huh? What does what feel like?"


"Your kiss?"


"WHAT?!?" Duo asked befuddled.


"N-nevermi-" Heero was interrupted.


"No, I mean, what?" He said with less astonishment.


"I want to know what a kiss feels like."


Duo's mouth dropped open and then closed quickly with understanding. Heero had never been kissed before, how could he have been. Not to say that Heero was unattractive because he was so far from that - that it was incomprehensible. With the way Heero was brought up and the way Heero is, he could understand the… curiosity.


Duo steepled his fingers and thought for a moment, looking anywhere but at Heero. " In words, it's indescribable. Different with every person. Just like sex."


"Sex? Really?" Heero asked, interest peaked.


Duo shook his head to clear the fog rolling in.


"Heero, you gotta experience it. That's all I can really say."


"Okay."


"Okay what?"


"Okay, I'll experience it." Heero said, looking to Duo expectantly.


"What? You mean me…you?" Duo sputtered.


Heero looked down and then into Duo's eyes. The seemingly indifferent boy's eyes burned with boldness and wonder. He did dare show this part of him to Duo.


"I saw."


"Bastard." Duo spat, then stopped quickly at Heero's actions.


"I saw the way," Heero reached his hand out and touched Duo's cheek, "he put his hand on your face and your… mouth."


Duo flushed, unconciously closing his eyes and leaned into the touch.


"I saw your tongue touch his. Your lips move against his." Heero said, not quite believing he was actually saying it.


Heero suddenly dropped his hand and Duo's eyes shot open. Heero had his head down.


"And I saw how you laughed, laughed like you were really happy," He couldn't believe how much this bothered him. "Why not around me? Why-" /Because you're you, idiot, because you're you…/


A smile broke out on Duo's lips. He was amazed that this was actually happening. Heero was expressing his emotions. He had to show him…let him know.


Duo put his hands against Heero's bare chest and pushed him flush against door next to the dresser. The longhaired boy bent his head down to where Heero's head rested in emotions the normally stoic boy couldn't place. Duo drew his head downward and then up, nudging at Heero's lips. Heero began to raise his head to meet Duo's wandering lips. /Tastes good./


Duo nibbled on Heero's lips, letting Heero get a feel for Duo's own. Soon the experimenting became full kisses. Duo's top lip between both of Heero's, as Duo suckled seductively on Heero's lower lip, over and over. Soon, the kiss deepened, led on by Duo who was incessantly trying to get past Heero's defenses. He knew that Heero liked it because however hesitant, he responded in kind to the tasty ministrations. Heero's breathing was labored almost coming out in pants, a very good sign, but he was tense.


Duo pulled back. "What's wrong?"


Heero kept his eyes closed as he leaned against the wall.


"Nothing." He said, licking his still burning lips.


"Liar. Just relax."


Heero's eyes opened and his mind came flooding back, "I can't."


"Why? What do you mean you can't?"


"I shouldn't be doing this. We," Heero said pushing off the wall and walking rigidly past Duo, "...shouldn't be doing this."


"Wait a second," Duo said, a little more than slightly irritated. He grabbed the top of Heero's waistband, "you started this Heero, stop doing that, I'm so damn sick of it. You are not some lowly victim."


Heero stared at Duo's hand as if glaring at it would dislodge his hand from his jeans. "What are you talking about?"


"You know damn well what I'm talking about."


"Let go of me. I don't want to do this with you."


Duo gawked, "You seemed like you wanted to do it a couple of minutes ago. Christ Heero, you are the one who wanted to do it in the first place."


Heero sighed. It was true, but he couldn't. It was against anything he ever stood for… and yet he still managed to throw himself into the situation by asking. He let it happen. He yearned for it to happen. He allowed curiosity to take the reigns.


"Heero, I don't understand. You say you have no use for me but you care who I laugh with. You say you have no focus but the missions and yet you're here kissing me back."


Duo tugged on Heero's pants and Heero caught Duo's inquiring eye.


"Tell me you don't want this, Heero." Duo said roughly, as he let his fingers glide over Heero's stomach much like Heero had done himself earlier.


Heero closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I don't… want this."


Heero opened his eyes, keeping his blaring orbs hard to prove no argument from Duo, but he was trembling. Duo shook his head.


"No Heero. That's not good enough." He said, as he proceeded in pushing Heero toward his bed.
