A Romantic Interlude
Duo lie in bed, shivering, recalling his nights on the streets before
he'd met his four companions. The heat had gone out in the safe house
and they could not compromise their hidden location by calling a fuel
company.
"We could set Duo's braid on fire." Heero had joked. "That'd keep us
warm for months."
Duo had then 'accidentally' whipped Heero across the nose with the
braid in question when he turned around to remark about Heero's bad
sense of humor.
They had fought and then Heero had ended up on top of Duo, between
Duo's legs, and Duo, aroused as hell, had pulled Heero down and had
kissed him. Heero, somewhat taken aback, he slapped him and he'd
turned around and told Heero to go to hell.
Duo rolled onto his stomach, and wept into his pillow.
Heero wasn't able to sleep. He had been trying for hours to justify
to himself about the way he had slapped Duo. But he just couldn't
convince himself he'd been right. He finally climbed out of bed.
//I'm not gonna get any sleep until I apologize.// he thought to
himself as he walked into Duo's room.
Duo was still shivering and crying when Heero walked in. Heero felt
utterly horrible. Had he hurt Duo that much?
Heero sat on the edge of the bed and leaned forward, stroking Duo's
hair. "I'm sorry, Duo." he whispered.
Duo sat up and turned away. "You hurt me, Heero." he whispered,
rubbing the bruise on his cheek where Heero had slapped him.
Heero gently pulled Duo's hand away from the bruise. He winced. Had
he really hit Duo that hard? "Oh, Duo." he said. "I'm sorry. I'm so
sorry. Look, I'd better go... I'll talk to you in the morning."
As Heero started to leave, Duo had a flashback of a time he could not
remember, seeing a figure leaving a room, he'd been unable at the
time to call out, but now, much older, he was able to call out to
Heero.
"Don't leave me!"
Heero stopped and returned to Duo's side. "Duo..." he began. He saw a
look of fear and loneliness in Duo's eyes and he was sure that it
wasn't just from the slap. "I'm right here, Duo."
"Hold me, Heero." Duo whispered. "Please? Make love to me?"
Heero nodded, slightly, then lowered Duo back to the pillow and
undressed them both. He kissed and caressed Duo all over, then
pulled Duo onto his lap so they were facing each other, gently
penetrating him as he kissed Duo's throat, shoulders, and lips,
bringing Duo and himself closer and closer to release. He held back
until Duo was crying out and Heero could feel Duo's warm seed upon
his abdomen. Then he allowed himself to come, deep inside of Duo.
They both kissed, fiercely, their tongues clashing as they held each
other close. Then, they laid down upon the bed, Heero pulling out of
Duo, carefully, and lying on his back, pulling Duo over so that that
the braided pilot was stretched out over him and drifted off to
sleep, holding Duo in his arms.
