Somewhere in the back of Heero's mind, the date of the announcement of the winners of the contest stayed everpresent. So, when the day came, and Relena ordered him to take a day off, he did so without much protest. He didn't remember what time the winner would be announced, but he'd spend the day relaxing and that evening he could rejoice and start planning on how to surprise Duo with the gift.
At 8:03pm, Heero Yuy's computer beeped, signaling that a message was now waiting for one Jasper Lennox. With the barest hint of a smug grin, Heero opened up the message and read it, his grin fading quickly until it had all gone. "What? I didn't win? That's impossible!"
In his head, Heero reviewed the story. /It's got passion, intrigue, sex, rhinestones, sex, Duo, leather, whips, SEX! How could it not win? Hn... Must find that website and see who won./
Heero quickly went to the bookmarked page and scrolled through the contest babble and got to the winner's list. /Hn. Winner: Tempest Virgo for "The Essence of Life and the Drawing Thereof"? Let me read this thing... Load, gosh darn you... okay... Give me your life, blah, blah, oh. Wow. That's nice imagery. Good metaphor. Allusion! Allusion! Oh, gosh. No wonder this fic won. Let's see who got second... hey, another contest? Next week? Perhaps... Yes. I will win. It is my mission. I accept it./
Cracking his knuckles, Heero began on another story. /I still don't know any other characters, so, hopefully, the Gundam pilots count as something to be a fan of./
\"...and that is how it came to be that I knew I loved you," Heero said with tear stains rimming his eyes.
"Heero..." With tears in his own eyes, Duo stepped forth into Heero's trembling embrace and kissed him lightly. "You love me? Truly?"
Holding Duo close, Heero kissed the top of his head. "More truly than anything I've known before. Love me?"
Duo nodded and kissed him again, extending it until they both pulled away panting with lack of breath. "For the longest time, yes. What took you so long?"
They fell into each other's arms so tightly that neither knew where their own limbs ended. "I was afraid."
"With me, you'll never have to be afraid."
Heero pulled away slightly. "Show me that it doesn't have to hurt. Please."
Duo nodded and kissed away the crystalline orb that rolled gently down one of Heero's already shining cheeks. "Anything you want, love."
Heero nodded slightly. "Make love to me."
Duo smiled briefly. "With pleasure."\
Half an hour later, Heero put the final touches on the story, spellchecked it and then read back through it. Afterward, he sat in silence. With a trembling breath, he reached up and wiped his eyes. /*I* wrote that? I can't believe it. And then... I cried! Not much, but I don't remember it happening before. Duo... what do you do to me?/
At that moment, Duo walked into the room. "Hey, Heero. Whatcha doin'?"
Heero searched for words for a moment, trying to hide what he was doing. "I was, um, practicing writing mission reports. Dr. J said I needed to work on some of my description."
Duo raised an eyebrow and pulled his braid over his shoulder, playing with the end. "He said that, huh? I think you give good description!"
Heero blushed and turned back to his computer, making sure his file was saved and closed. "Well, I'm not perfect, obviously."
Duo walked into the room a bit further and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Hmm... Could have fooled me."
Trembling slightly, Heero turned toward Duo. "What's that supposed to mean?"
Duo's lips twitched, a smile barely brushing them and never extending to his eyes. "Nothing, nothing. But, you're the perfect soldier, right? Just thought that would mean you'd do everything perfect."
Turning to the computer again, Heero bit his lip. /How can he think I'm perfect? He's the perfect one. So beautiful and intelligent and fun... I need to learn how to have fun./ "Hey, Duo? What do you do for... fun?"
The ribbon securing the end of his braid undone, Duo took a moment to tie it back on before answering. "I do all sorts of things. Read, cook, party... whatever. Why do you ask? Don't tell me Mr. 'Perfect Soldier' Heero Yuy wants to have fun, eh?"
Heero took a moment to look at a tiny stain on his shirt. "I just figured... you know... if the war is ever over and we live through it... that I'll need to know how to have fun... and it *is* my day off... so... if you wouldn't mind?"
Duo shivered slightly. /If only I could show him exactly how I like to have fun./ "Well, first, how about you go see a movie or something?"
Adorable confusion in his eyes, Heero tilted his head to one side. "A movie?"
"Yeah. A motion picture. Like vid discs, only, a really huge screen and about a hundred people watching the same thing." Duo grinned at Heero's facial expression. /He obviously doesn't know how cute he looks when making that face. I might just have to confuse him more often./
Heero nodded. "I should probably go see a movie. Do you know where I can see one around here?"
Duo nodded. "Yeah. It's just up... Tell ya what... I'll take you. I haven't seen a movie in a while... not since I was a kid and I never got to pay my way in. For once, I want to see a movie without worrying someone would come around asking to see ticket stubs. Then we can get dinner, hmm?"
Nodding, Heero turned back to his computer once more. "That sounds... acceptable. We'll meet outside in 15 minutes, okay?"
Duo nodded and stood up. "Works for me."
Fifteen minutes later, Heero walked out of his room, trying to keep his breathing normal. He'd changed out of his normal attire of black spandex shorts, boots and green tanktop and into a pair of leather pants Quatre had gotten him the previous Christmas as a joke along with a white dress shirt with the top button undone. /Will Duo like this? I hope no one else sees me./
Heero snuck along the walls of the hallway and came into the front room. To his chagrin, Wufei, Quatre and Trowa were all settled on the couch, talking and playing some board game. He tried to sneak past, but Wufei happened to look up and gasped. "Yuy..."
Quatre quickly followed Wufei's gaze and smiled. "Oh, Heero, you're actually wearing something... different."
Trowa merely smiled at him and said, "Nice."
Heero nodded and said, "Thanks. Gotta go," before running out the door, straight into Duo. Their foreheads cracked together and they both fell to the ground. Duo cursed and stood up, then held his hand out to Heero. Heero grasped his hand and Duo froze, staring at Heero for a moment. "You look... good. Really... good."
Blushing, Heero squeezed Duo's hand slightly. Duo got the hint and helped him up. "To the movies, eh?"
Heero nodded and reluctantly let go of Duo's hand, noticing that Duo was wearing more form-fitting pants than he usually did. Heero sighed. /Probably to attract some woman as we're walking through town. Can I make it through the night? I hope... I hope that I don't have to walk behind him./
TBC...
