�Helios!� Queen Aurora�s voice echoed through the cavern they used as their lair. Helios, first in command of the new negaverse, appeared, his golden eyes narrowed in anger and annoyance. �Yes, my queen?� He said with barely constrained anger.

�I�ve found the new scouts. Really wasn�t hard at all. You�d think it was all the problems my sister used to have.� She was showing him five boys all approximately 16 or 17.

�This is Sailor Neptune.� A boy with an extremely long braid and glistening violet eyes. He was cute in a mind numbing sort of way, all smiles and grins.

�And this is Sailor Mars.� An Asian boy with black eyes and hair. Attractive, but clearly too serious.

�Mercury," Aurora went on, indicating a petit blond boy with blue eyes. Very cute, but so sugary sweet he might give you a tooth ache. Not Helios� type at all.

�And this is Jupiter.� This one was a tall handsome boy with at least one piercing green eye. The other was covered by an interesting set of bangs. Um...what�s up with the hair? Helios wondered.

�This is the one that will give you problems. Not only does he have the powers of Uranus, but he is also the Moon Princess.� The image of a small boy, probably of Asian descent, came up. He had dark brown hair that fell in his face, and deep blue eyes so dark they were almost black. He was...beautiful. There was something wild and strong about him, yet he appeared so fragile. Helios wanted him.

�Helios?� Aurora had called his name several times. �I want you to stop them.�

�Yes, my queen.�

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

Sometimes Luna hated being a cat. It meant she and Artemis could not do simple things such as opening doors. They were outside Heero�s room trying to coax him to let Luna inside. She was very worried about him. Just when they were beginning to give up, the door flew open to admit Luna, and then slammed shut behind her.

The small Japanese boy threw himself down on his bed. Luna had not known him very long, but she had a feeling he did not normally act like this. She hopped up on the bed next to him. �What�s the matter Heero?�

Heero sat up and looked at her for a moment. No one ever asked him what was wrong. They all assumed that he was an unfeeling bastard that would kill them as soon as look at them. Of course, he had never given them reason to believe otherwise. �Well...have you ever been in love, Luna?�

�Er...yes.�

�I never have. But I think I am. It�s all so complicated. Everyone assumes I care about Relena simply because I protected her during the war. I protected Duo too.� The last part was a whisper, but Luna heard. I think I�m beginning to understand. She thought. �Heero, why don�t you tell Duo how you feel?� Heero got a frightened look upon his face. �I couldn�t do that! He�d hate me! He�d think I was disgusting. And I could hurt him like that girl and her dog...�Heero�s eyes widened. He had not meant to blurt out that last part. He saw the questioning look on the small cat�s face and explained himself reluctantly. �On a mission, during the war, I had an assignment to blow up an OZ base. Just a routine mission. When I went to check things out that day, before the mission, I met a small girl. She was walking her dog, Mary. She gave me a flower. That may seem like a small thing, but it was the first and only gift I�ve ever received. Anyway, that night I accidentally sent a mobile suit flying into an apartment when I blew up the base...her apartment. She was dead. I found her dog latter. I don�t want to hurt anyone like that again, especially Duo. I care about him too much.�

Luna moved closer to him. He looked so vulnerable. Luna found herself comparing him to her former owner, Usagi. They were so different. Duo was more like Usagi than anyone, and that was a stretch. This boy reminded her of Haruka, the original Uranus. She had felt the need to hide herself behind a cool, seemingly uncaring facade also.

Luna was interrupted from her thoughts by a knock at the door. Heero reluctantly went over to the door and opened it. Duo stood on the other side. Heero�s eyes went wide in surprise, but he quickly recovered. He was the last person Heero expected to see there. �Hey,� Duo said quietly. None of his usual humor was present.

�I just wanted to apologize for making you angry earlier.� Okay, that was weird. Duo never apologized for pissing him off. �I heard everything, Heero.�

�So you felt pity for me? I don�t want your pity, thank you very much!�

It did not even phase Duo. He glanced at Luna, who took the hint and went out the still open door. Duo shut it behind him. �I could never feel pity for you, Heero. You�re too strong a person to pity. I only wish you could have opened up to me.�

�Why do you even care? I�m a freak. I have the hots for another guy. Aren�t you disgusted?�

Duo looked at him a moment. He brought his hand up to Heero�s cheek, stroking it lightly; half-afraid Heero would bolt. Heero�s eyes widened, but he leaned into the caress. �Not in the slightest.� Duo answered.

�Er...um...I thought you and Hilde-�

�Hilde�s like a sister to me; that�s all,� Duo promised pulling Heero closer. He wrapped his arms around Heero protectively. Heero sighed and laid his head on Duo�s shoulder. �I thought you�d be disgusted with me if you knew. I couldn�t bear that. You�re the most important person in my life,� Duo continued. Heero raised his head and looked at Duo for a long moment. Then he smiled. It was that same beautiful smile that Duo had seen earlier, a real, happy smile. It was the most beautiful thing Duo had ever seen.

Duo tilted Heero�s chin as he pulled Heero to him. Their lips seemed to meld together. The kiss was gentle, as Duo knew it was Heero�s first. Gradually the kiss deepened and they found themselves on Heero�s bed, unsure of when or how they had gotten there and never having broken the kiss.

Heero was making soft, continued noises that were driving Duo wild. Duo reluctantly pulled away form him. �Did I do something wrong?� Heero asked, sounding hurt. �No, you did everything right. Very right. But if I don�t stop now, I�m not sure I�ll be able to latter.�

�So don�t,� Heero said, causing Duo�s violet eyes to bulge. �I want you to go on. I want you to be my first,� Heero finished shyly. �Unless you don�t want to-�

�No, it�s not that! I want to. God, I want to. But I�ve wanted this for too long. I don�t want to tarnish it and make it seem like a wham-bam-thank-you-mam sort of deal.�

�It won�t ruin it,� Heero promised. �Besides, I�ve wanted this for a long time too. Maybe since that fateful day you shot me-�

�I�m never gonna live that down, am I? Look, I didn�t know-�

�And besides, you mean more to me than anyone,� Heero finished, never having stopped during Duo�s interruption. He saw the struggle in Duo. Duo laid back on the bed next to him and began to pelt his face with kisses.

�You know I�m in love with you, right?�

�Aa,� Heero murmured. He did now; he did not know how he could not have seen. �I care about you too, Duo.� Duo understood that he meant more than just caring, and enthusiastically attacked his mouth. Their tongues touched causing shocks to go down their backs.

Heero felt Duo pull off that damned tank top of his and drop his mouth to his throat. Heero groaned as Duo sucked their, worrying the flesh between his lips until it was flushed a soft pink. He worked his way down to Heero�s nipples, taking one into his mouth, then the other. Heero�s hands wound themselves around Duo�s braid as Duo continued down his body. He glanced up at Heero. Heero�s beautiful eyes were closed, his long lashes shadowing his cheeks. His mouth was slightly open and his tan skin was noticeably flushed. He looked like an angel.

Duo undid the button on Heero�s tight jeans and pulled them off him, surprised to find nothing underneath. Duo ran a had down Heero�s thighs across his firm buttocks before bringing his lips to Heero�s thighs. He brought his hand up to Heero�s lips, stoking them softly and groaning aloud when Heero took a finger into his mouth. Duo brought his lips back to Heero�s thighs and lower body, purposely ignoring his growing erection.

He pulled away from Heero to remove his own clothing. Damn it! Why do I have to wear so much clothing? Were Duo�s last fully coherent thoughts before he was pulled back down to Heero.

Their kisses quickly escalated from playful to passionate, and their tongues fought for control, until Heero�s relented and beckoned Duo�s into his mouth deeper. Their hips grinded together, causing electrifying friction. Duo pulled away and leaned over to dig through Heero�s nightstand to find something to use as lubricant. Is this a set up or what? Duo wondered delightedly as he removed a jar of Vaseline from the drawer.

He bent to take Heero�s lips again as his lubricated fingers sot Heero�s virgin entrance. There was quite a bit of discomfort for Heero as he slipped a finger in, then only pleasure as Duo�s finger hit something inside him that set off sparks in front of his eyes. Heero began to move his hips and Duo slipped in another finger, stretching the opening. When he could finally move three, he decided Heero was ready.

He brought his lubricated member to the place his fingers had been, and pushed the tip past the ring of muscle then stopped to give Heero time to adjust to the feeling. Apparently Heero did not want to adjust because he thrust his hips forward forcing Duo in to the hilt. Heero let out a surprised gasp; he had not expected it to feel like that.

Duo was fighting the urge to thrust hard into the beautiful creature beneath him. He moved his hips slowly, but as Heero began to writhe he lost control and thrust wildly. Heero wrapped his legs around Duo�s waist and met Duo�s thrusts.

Soon they were both sweaty and moving at a rapid pace and both making plenty of noise as they let out a moan with each thrust. Duo put his had between them to pump Heero�s neglected erection in time with his own thrusts. The double sensations were too much for him and he came. Soon after, Duo climaxed as well and collapsed atop Heero, both of them panting. Heero recovered first and began to place soft kisses upon Duo�s sweaty face before they both dosed off in each other�s arms.
