"What are you thinking about?"
"Hmm?" Duo looked up from the window he’d been staring out of, looking back at his lover who was studying him instead of the crossword puzzle laid out in front of him. "Oh, well, Wufei, actually," Duo admitted softly, before looking back out the window. "I was just wondering what he’s been up to. You know, what he’s been doing since…"
"Duo…"
"You know, he said he loved me," the long-haired boy rushed on, "and all I could do was think about how much I wanted him to be you."
Heero didn’t know what to say really, but he tried. "When I came back, and saw you two in bed together… I wanted it to be me, too."
"I wished I’d gotten a chance to talk to him, before he left MOII. It’s strange how he just left like that."
Heero had his own thoughts on the matter of MOII. Thoughts that chased themselves around in his head.
"Why did you sleep with him?" The question was directed as much towards himself as to his lover across the room.
Duo started. "What?"
"Why did you sleep with Wufei?" Heero repeated quietly, steadily, frowning mentally. He hadn’t set out to sleep with the Chinese boy. It had just… sort of… happened. They were both lonely, and upset, and not a little drunk…
"Well…" Duo’s voice broke into his thoughts. "I guess, because I was lonely, and upset, and I really didn’t want to be alone." The 02 ex-gundam pilot shrugged.
"Did you like it?"
"What!"
"Did you like sleeping with Wufei?"
"I didn’t *not* like it…" Violet eyes narrowed accusingly. "Hey! What’s this all about, Heero?"
"Nothing," the Japanese boy tried to deny—but there was no fooling his lover, and after a moment, he admitted, "I’ve just been thinking about Wufei, too."
"Oh really?" Heero nodded. "And just what have you been thinking about him?"
Heero studied Duo before answering honestly, "I think about what it would be like… if it was the three of us."
Duo’s frown pulled into a heavy puzzlement. "What do you mean, ‘the three of us’?"
"I mean you, and Wufei, and me." Prussian blues looked directly into violet depths. "Together."
"You mean, like a…" he almost had trouble wrapping his lips around the word "threesome?"
Heero nodded. "Something like that."
Duo looked away, not sure what to make of this confession of his lover’s. Heero thought about a threesome? Duo hadn’t even known Heero was attracted to Wufei, like that… Was he, maybe, tired of Duo? Of all the late night hours and energy he poured into Miramar?
"I think about you and Wufei a lot," Heero’s voice continued on with pseudo calm. " I think about what you two look like, together."
"Really?" Duo was wearing a funny look. Heero nodded.
"Have you ever thought about it?" the Japanese boy asked.
Duo cleared his through. "I can’t say that I have."
"Hn. I guess it’s different."
And there was that puzzling frown again. "What’s different?" Duo asked.
"Seeing two people together in bed already," Heero answered, "as opposed to just imagining it."
"I can’t believe we’re having this discussion," the long-haired boy finally said after a moment, standing up and grabbing his jacket before heading out into the streets.
