FYI: This happens after the wars. They're 18, so it should be around A.C.198. In the beginning of this Heero and Duo are not together, they don't know that the other has feelings for them. This is to clear up any confusion.

Heero and Duo shared a house in America. After the war with Mary Maya they had all gone separate ways, but Duo and Heero had met up while Heero was on a trip to L-2. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time and met up with Duo. They had lunch together and decided that it would be much easier if they just bought a house and shared the expenses. This way they'd get to stay in touch and they wouldn't be as lonely. Duo had to have his friends around all the time, to stop him from being lonely. He was, without a doubt, a people person. Heero wasn't very good with words, but he was a wonderful listener and after nearly two years of not hearing Duo talk the way he used to all the time, he missed listening to him. He was ready to listen to Duo talk all he wanted about anything and nothing and Duo was ready to talk about anything and nothing and have someone listen to him without a bored expression.

Heero was a lot more mellow than he had been when they'd last seen each other when they were 16, but that was all the better.

When Heero needed some money, rather than break down and asking Duo, he went to Wufei. Lord only knew why, but that was Heero's decision, to ask Wufei. Duo hadn't even known Heero needed money.

Now, Wufei wanted his money back.

"Now, Yuy. I need the money, now. Not next week. Sally's birthday isn't next week. It's in three days. I want that $300.00 dollars to buy her a special present. If I don't get her anything good for her birthday, she'll take it as I forgot and got something at the last minute and I'll never hear the end of it. Such is a weak onna."(1) Wufei said.

"Wufei, I know you need the money, but I don't have it. I wont have it until I get paid next week." Heero answered.

"Hey, Heero's tellin' the truth. I know he wont have the money until next week. I live with the dude! I think I know a thing or two about how often he gets paid! He gets paid Friday NEXT week. He don't have the money this week. He'd give it to ya, if he did." Duo said. He was getting fed up with Wufei. If Heero said he didn't have the money and couldn't get it, then he meant it. Heero wouldn't have a reason to lie to anyone. He wasn't afraid of anyone. Certainly, not Wufei.

"I don't care, Maxwell. Yuy, you're just going to have to dip into your savings account, then. I need that money, at the latest, by tomorrow." Wufei said. "Wufei, that's all the money he has!" Duo screeched, unbelieving that a person he'd called friend would do something like this to another friend. "I know that, Maxwell. He'll just have to borrow it from someone else. Maybe, you or Quatre can lend him something." Wufei said.

"Why don't YOU borrow some money from Quatre until Heero can pay ya back?!" Duo asked, angrily. "Because, Quatre doesn't owe me money." Wufei said.

"Wufei, if I keep borrowing like this, I'll never be out of debt!" Heero yelled, his arms moving in exaggerated movements. "That isn't my problem. I didn't ASK you to borrow my hard earned money." Wufei said.

"Alright, Wufei, I'll get you your damned money. I'll have it by tomorrow at the latest." Heero said, coldly, walking out.

Duo glared at Wufei, before trying to run after Heero.

"Heero, wait! Heero! What are ya gonna..." It was too late. Heero was in the truck and leaving. He was already practically gone.

Duo stalked back into the house. "Damn you, Wufei, if he does something bad, just to get your money, I'm gonna hold you PERSONALLY responsible! You know what this is?!" Duo yelled. He was gonna get Wufei with this.

"This is dishonorable on your part and an injustice to Heero!" Duo yelled, going into the living room.

That did it. They were off on an argument.

@@@@@@@@@

Heero decided that the best way to go about this was a whorehouse. There was no telling how long it would take just trying to pick people up off the streets. Normally, it wouldn't be very hard or take very long, but since the war with Mary Maya, people have been reluctant to break the law in any way. They remember what it was like to be in a war and are afraid that if they do too much out of the way, another will start. Even something as small as being picked up by a whore. But, a few whorehouses still ran in business and it was said that one could get quite a bit of money on their first day alone. Clients seemed to like to break in newer whores.

No sooner than he had entered the whorehouse, he had a client. It was more like they picked HIM up. No one had even questioned why he was there, when NO ONE had seen him there before.

Now, Heero was in a room, completely naked, and being tied to a bed. The man tying him up was a rather big and strong looking man. He supposed he could kick his ass if he wanted to, being trained as a Gundam pilot, but he needed the money. He could already tell that this was going to hurt...a lot.

@@@@@@@@@

It was really late. Wufei and Duo were still arguing when Heero came home. That wasn't surprising. He'd gone through more than one client to get this money. Which, in itself, wasn't easy and when he'd started he was a virgin, plus hadn't been very sure how to act or anything, so that didn't help him get the money. He was very skittish, though most of the clients didn't seem to care or even take notice. He had ideas of how he was to act, but basically he figured out quickly what they liked and didn't like...and most of them wanted him to be submissive. Which was good, because he could let them lead and find out on his own what to do and how to pleasure them.

Duo looked over at Heero. He looked tired. Very tired. Worn out, exhausted. He also had this look on his face. Like he'd humiliated himself or something. He also looked ashamed. His clothes were very stretched and in some places they were ripped and he was walking funny. His hair was messier than usual, as well. Some of it matted. He also seemed to be sweating....and it was cold outside. His bangs were matted to his forehead.

"Heero, are you okay?" Duo asked, leaving his argument to go to Heero. "I'm fine." Heero said, tiredly. "Bullshit." Duo countered. "I'm not arguing with you, tonight." Heero said. He walked up to Wufei, brushing coldly passed Duo.

Duo rolled his eyes. Heero was cranky again. "Someone needs a nap." Duo said, under his breath.

Heero ignored it and pulled $300.00 cash from his pocket. "Here. Take your money and leave. For what I had to do to get it, I don't want to see your face again, unless there's another war. And if there is, make sure you don't come NEAR me unless ABSOLUTELY unavoidable." Heero said, brushing passed him as well, going to the room he and Duo shared.

"You heard 'im, get out! And don't let the doorknob hit ya in the ass." Duo said, leaving to go see what was wrong with Heero.

@@@@@@@@@

Heero was lying face first on the bed. He'd locked the door, so if Duo wanted in he'd have to do some pretty fancy pickin' on that lock. Heero'd messed with that lock himself. He hadn't wanted to spend too much time on it, though.

"Heer..." Duo cut off when he noticed the door was locked. "Heero, it's my room, too!" Duo said, through gritted teeth, trying to force the door open. "Fine." Duo said.

He reached back and took a lock pick from his braid. He'd had a feeling this might happen sometime. He figured that Heero might try to lock him out of some room. So, he just kept a few picks in his braid. He used to hold a lot of them in that braid of his when they were still in the wars.

He was in the room in no time flat.

Heero didn't seem to even notice.

"I don't believe I did that." Heero whispered to himself, into the pillow. It was hard for Duo to understand him. What did Heero do? He wanted to be there for him, but he couldn't do that, if Heero wouldn't tell him what was wrong. Maybe...maybe he just didn't want to say anything in front of Wufei.

"Heero...?" Duo asked. "I...I didn't know you were there." Heero said, looking at Duo, but then quickly shoving his face back into the pillow. Why did he have to do that? Now, Duo would know he was crying. He picked a fine time to cry about it, anyway. 'Duo always was going around saying that 'boys don't cry'. Now, here I am, a boy, crying like a girl.' Heero thought.

"Heero, what's wrong?!" Duo asked, going over to Heero and sitting beside him on Heero's bed. "Nothing." Heero's muffled voice said. "That's bull and you know it." Duo said. He was concerned. "Why do you care? I'm just some idiot who's sitting here crying like a girl." Heero said.

"What the fuck are you talkin' about?" Duo asked, almost exasperatedly. Heero gave a sad chuckle. "Boys don't cry, remember?" Heero whispered. 'So, that's what he was talkin' about. He thinks I look down on 'im for cryin'.' Duo thought.

Duo shifted and then moved Heero so he was looking at him. "Heero, BOYS don't cry. Ever consider the thought that MAYBE we're not boys anymore?" Duo asked, softly. Heero looked away. That only reminded him of what he'd done.

"But, just outta curiosity, why ARE you cryin'?" Duo asked. Duo saw Heero turn red. "Heero, did you forget how to breathe?" Duo asked. "No." Heero said. "Heero, don't go back to the I'm-fine-because-I-was-the-perfect-soldier routine. It doesn't work on me. Even when you thought you WERE the Perfect Soldier, it didn't work on me." Duo said.

Duo waited, but found that Heero wasn't going to say anything. "Heero, when I came in here, you said that you couldn't believe you did somethin'. What was it? Was it whatever the Hell you ran off to do to get Wufei's money?" Duo asked. "What's with the Wufei thing? Why not Wu-man, like usual?" Heero asked. "I don't consider him worthy of the name Wu-man." Duo said, frowning. "Stop stalling. Answer." Duo said.

Heero paused for a moment. He didn't want to say it out loud. It would only become more real. Heero sat up, drew his legs up apart from each other, letting his head drop into his hands and balancing his elbows on his knees.

Duo reached out and took hold of Heero's wrists, drawing his hands away from his face.

"Heero, tell me what you did. I wont laugh, I wont make fun of you and I wont look down on you for whatever it was. I swear." Duo said.

Heero shut his eyes and took a deep breath. He took another deep breath. And another. Duo could see he was building up enough courage to tell him what it was. Duo was patient, knowing that if Heero was this upset it wasn't something small. Hopefully, Heero wouldn't go into hysteria after he said it out loud. That could be a bad thing.

"I...I..." Heero couldn't say it. "No, I can't do it." Heero said, pulling his hands away from Duo's and putting them back to his face. Duo sighed. "Heero, I really need to know what happened if I'm gonna be here for ya, and I wanna be there." Duo tried to reason.

Heero couldn't concentrate on this conversation...never mind he didn't want to, but he just felt so dirty for doing what he did.

He got up. "I'm gonna take a bath...a long one." Heero said. He got up and went to the bathroom. It seemed as if Duo would leave him be, at least for awhile. The trick was to stay in there long enough for either Duo to fall asleep or to leave the room. He was going to scrub himself very well. He had to. Anything to get this dirty feeling to go away.

Heero let the water get hot. Very hot. As hot as he could. He didn't care if it would make his skin peel. He was just about to actually undress to get in when Duo swung the door open.

Duo had been wondering why it was so hot in the bedroom. Now he knew. "Heero, no!" Duo yelled. He KNEW that water was too hot. He grabbed Heero by the waist, pulling him, forcibly, out the bathroom door. "Why'd you do that?" Heero asked. "Because, if I had asked you to leave, you would have done the opposite." Duo said, sounding a little angry. "Well, I have a right to take a bath whenever I want to." Heero said. "Yeah, but you don't have a right to just hurt yourself like that. That water was WAY too hot. If you got in there, your skin would peel off!" Duo said. "Duo..." Heero started. He was getting sick of this. He wanted that feeling to go away. NOW.

"Heero, what happened?!" Duo yelled, grabbing Heero's shoulders and giving him a good shake. Hopefully, he'd acquired some sense out of that shake. "Tell me what you did!" Duo yelled again.

Heero turned his head and mumbled something. "What?" Duo asked. "I only knew of one way to get that money, so I went to a whorehouse..." Heero didn't have to finish. "Heero, you didn't." Duo said, letting go of him. "I knew this would happen. I didn't want to tell you. I didn't want to make you hate me, be disgusted with me." Heero said. "I don't hate you and I'm not disgusted. I just wanna know what's wrong." Duo said, concern shadowing his cobalt eyes.

"I just told you what's wrong." Heero said. "No, I mean...oh never mind. You feel dirty?" Duo asked, knowing the answer. He'd heard about this happening with rape victims, but Heero wasn't a rape victim. At least, he'd better not be. Heads would roll.

"Yes." Heero said, crying all over again. "Oh, no, no, no. Shhhh." Duo soothed as best he could, hugging Heero close." "You can have a bath, but, Heero, not so hot." Duo pleaded. Heero nodded.

Duo swallowed the fear of what he would say next was going to sound like. It didn't matter. If Duo's hunch was right and he DID want it, then he'd do it. He wanted to help Heero. "Do you want me to come with?" Duo asked, softly. At that Heero broke out into heavier sobs. "Okay, if you don't just say so." Duo said, trying to get Heero to calm down.

"Heero...are you alright?" Duo asked. "What do you mean?" Heero whispered. "I mean...physically?" Duo asked. "It hurt." Heero said. "I know." Duo whispered. "Were you...before you got your first...guy...were you a..." Duo was never good with these sorts of personal questions. He could ask a person if they'd ever been kissed, but he wasn't a pervert. He didn't go around asking all of his friends if they were virgins or not. "Yes." Heero whispered. "God." Duo whispered, holding Heero closer, not able to help it and hoping he wasn't hurting him in some way.

"God, Heero, if I'd known you were gonna whore yourself...I would have given you that money, no strings attached." Duo said. "That's what Dr. J always said about me. He always said that after the war I would most likely end up a whore. He never said it to me. He had no reason to. He just told others. I guess he was right." Heero whispered.

"No, Heero! You're not a whore. You did what you did, because you felt you had to. From the way you're acting now, I don't think you're even CONSIDERING making the job permanent." Duo said. "No, I can't do that again. If I ever have to do it again, I'll kill myself afterward." Heero said.

"Shhh." Duo shushed, gently rubbing his hands over Heero's back, hoping it was soothing. "You never answered my question. Do you want me to come with you?" Duo asked.

Heero looked at Duo, seemingly with wariness. "I wont try anything. You know I'm not like that." Duo said. "I know. That's why I trust you." Heero said. He looked so exhausted. "You wanna sleep first?" Duo asked. "No." Heero said, intently. He wanted that bath. He wanted that dirty feeling to go away. "Heero, you should know...just because you take that bath...the feeling...the dirty feeling...it wont go away so fast." Duo said. He didn't want Heero to set himself up for a fall with this. Heero might panic when it doesn't go away.

"Then, what will make it go away?" Heero asked. "I don't know." Duo answered, truthfully. "I need a bath anyway. After what I did today, I want everything off of me." Heero said. Duo knew what he was talking about, even if some people might not understand what he meant. Duo wasn't stupid. He knew what Heero meant.

"Alright. But, Heero do you want me to come with you?" Duo asked. The answer was important. The lack of answer could mean no and if he went anyway...Duo didn't want to think about it.

"Yes." Heero answered. In truth he did want Duo to come, but he was a little afraid. What if Duo tried something, just because Heero had made himself into a whore today, thinking that Heero really didn't care who fucked him. Heero'd been fucked enough today. The next time he did anything like that it wouldn't be a fuck. Next time he did something like that it would be making love. And that he vowed to. A silent vow. He didn't know about everyone, but to him there was a difference between being fucked and fucking someone and making love to them. A huge difference.

The thought of the feeling not going away with the bath just sunk in. And all rational thought took a vacation. Maybe...maybe if he did it one more time. With Duo...a friend...then...he wouldn't feel dirty anymore...or at least not AS dirty. It was only once more. To cover up what had happened today. And if it would help....

It would normally be clear to Heero right after that thought, that it wasn't a rational thought and he wasn't thinking straight, but he couldn't see that. All he saw was the feeling going away. They were right next to Duo's bed, anyway.

Heero leaned up and kissed Duo. He'd learned something from the more gentle clients. He was going to use what he'd learned, but he knew that he would like it if someone were very gentle with him, so that's the way it would be to coax Duo into fucking him senseless.

At first Duo reacted and kissed back. 'Wait a minute. Something isn't right here. WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOIN'?! THIS IS TAKING ADVANTAGE! EVEN IF HE DID START IT!!!!' Duo thought.

Duo broke off the kiss. "Heero, stop it. You don't want to do this." Duo said. "Yes, I do." Heero said, sitting on Duo's bed and taking Duo with him. He could see that Duo didn't want to hurt him, because he hadn't done anything, but talk. As soon as Duo was almost sitting on top of him, Heero leaned back to lay on the bed, dragging Duo with him.

Duo found himself on top of Heero. 'No!' Duo's mind said. 'This is wrong.' Duo thought. And it was. Duo broke the kiss that Heero had begun. "Heero, we need to stop." Duo warned.

Heero took that opportunity to leave Duo's mouth and kiss down his neck. As much as Duo hated to admit it, he liked it. He moaned slightly. Heero let his hands wander down to where Duo's shirt was tucked into his pants. He started to unbutton and unzip the pants, slowly, lifting the shirt as soon as the zipper was down. He lifted the shirt and Duo let him lift it over his head and off of him, being discarded somewhere on the floor. Heero kissed down Duo's neck to his shoulder.

Duo knew he should stop Heero. This was wrong. Even if it felt good...wonderful....right.

Heero let one hand slip into Duo's pants and under his boxers, lightly teasing the fast hardening erection underneath.

A jolt when threw Duo. 'Stop him now!' Duo's conscience roared at him, mentally kicking him in the rear. 'Damn it, why does that thing get in my way all the time?' Duo thought as he stopped Heero. "Heero, stop. I don't know for sure why you're doing this, but you really need to stop. It feels good now, but you'll regret it in the morning. I'm not lying to you. You're not thinking clearly right now." Duo said.

Heero didn't seem to want to listen. He kept experimenting. The experiments made Duo moan in spite of himself. Heero eased Duo's pants down a little, accompanied by his boxers, to tease his sac.

Duo moaned loudly at the sensation. He found himself kissing Heero's neck and up his jaw to his mouth. Heero readily kissed him back.

'NO, NO, NO!!!!!' Duo's conscience spat. 'You're stronger than this! He's stronger than this! This is wrong! You'll BOTH regret it!' It finished. 'Why can't you ever leave me alone?' Duo wondered to his conscience. But, he knew that what his conscience was telling him was right. It was a wonder that he could even care enough to listen to his conscience at this point. He'd wanted to make love to Heero for so long. To touch him, to feel him, to be inside him...to love him. He loved Heero, but this would be the same as empty sex. To make love, Heero had to want it, too. It looked like all Heero wanted was a good fuck to cover up what he let all those men do to him and who better to get it from, than a friend?

Heero continued teasing while Duo was figuring out what he was going to do. He ran the tip of his finger over Duo's cock, feeling it jerk. Duo wanted him. At least it seemed that way.

Duo's body wasn't listening to his mind. He found his hands going for Heero's pants, unbuttoning, unzipping and pulling them downward. Heero wasn't wearing any underwear. That was for sure. And the erection he was sporting would probably have been too painful to keep inside those pants this long, if he'd had something else confining it. Duo ran a finger over it, though he his mind kept saying 'no'.

He watched it bob as he did so. With a slight turn of his body, Heero had Duo completely on top of him and waited as Duo kicked off his pants and boxers, their erections rubbing together. Duo's body was already flushed and radiating heat. Especially that gorgeous, dripping cock of his. He took the liberty of removing Heero's pants the rest of the way. Heero's shirt followed soon after, along with his socks.

Duo kissed Heero passionately, while stroking his cock. Heero moaned into Duo's mouth.

Heero broke away after a moment, letting his lips rest near Duo's ear. "Fuck me." Heero whispered.

That was it for Duo. All the passion was gone. Nothing. He still felt the pleasure in the touches, but they meant nothing, now. He didn't want to fuck Heero, he wanted to make love to him. If this was just going to be a fuck, then he didn't want to have anything to do with it. But...it felt so good.

Heero noticed Duo's pause. He wrapped his arms around Duo firmly and thrust upward, crushing their erections together. Both moaned loudly. Duo, reflexively, met Heero's thrust. "Duo...fuck me." Heero repeated, seductively, into Duo's ear.

'Damn it, I don't want to, but I have to stop this, before it goes too far. Heero wouldn't forgive me if I took advantage of him like this and I wouldn't forgive myself.' Duo thought. He had to stop this, before he did something they'd both regret. Something like this he wouldn't be able to take back.

"Heero, no. This is going to stop. We shouldn't have even gone this far. You're going to regret this. Go and take your bath." Duo said.

"But, a bath wont help anything." Heero said, trying to pull Duo back down to him again. "Neither will this. Trust me. You'll see that tomorrow when you're thinking clearly again." Duo said. It was hard to say anything lovingly or sympathetically when you were sitting, naked on top of another man, who didn't have a clue as to how you felt about him.

Heero looked down, apparently he'd given up trying to seduce Duo. "Heero..." Duo started, scratching the back of his head, and looking at the floor. "No, never mind. I'll go take that bath. Just...forget this happened?" Heero asked. "Well, I don't know about forgetting it, but...I wont mention it again...to anyone. I wont hold it against you either." Duo said. Heero got off of Duo's bed and walked into the bathroom.

"Hey, you...you still want me to come?" Duo asked, carefully. That was probably a stupid thing to say, but it didn't matter. Nothing would happen. Duo would make sure of it. Not that his body wouldn't give him a little trouble. He would better be able to fight that now, though.

@@@@@@@@@

"I'm sorry you had to sell yourself. You should have told me you were going to do that. I really could have spared that money." Duo said. "Is the only thing I'm ever going to get from you sympathy?" Heero asked. "No, I just want you to know that I don't look down on you, because of it. The dirty feeling will go away. But, Heero, you're not dirty. You're a beautiful person who made a mistake. But, the important thing is that you did what you thought you had to do. You can obviously still look yourself in the mirror, so I know you'll get through this. I'll help you. I don't know what happened while you were in that room. I don't know how they treated you, anyway. I'm sorry for however they hurt you. I don't know how to say....what I'm tryin' to say." Duo said.

It was the truth. He didn't. For all that time he spent talking everyone's ears off, he couldn't express what he was trying to say through words. And it was frustrating.

"Duo, it's alright. I understand. Sympathy, Duo, is good, as long as you don't dwell on the reason for the sympathy for too long. However, pity and sympathy are two different things. At least they are to me. I don't want anyone's pity, but, I will accept your sympathy IF you don't dwell on it. If you dwell on it, then I don't think I can let it go." Heero said.

"Heero, I can't really help thinking about it. I mean, you're my best friend...the only real friend that has managed to stay alive." Duo said. "Well, I don't intend on dying soon, so drop it." Heero said.

Heero got up from the kitchen table where they were sitting to get his breakfast from the stove. "If you want some of this, get over here. Otherwise, it's cold Captain Crunch." Heero said.

"Yes, sir, Mr. Yuy, sir!" Duo said, getting up and saluting. "That was awful." Heero said. "Better than you could come up with, Soldier-Boy." Duo said.

"Take your plate and get out of my hair. Go!" Heero said, dramatically pointing to the doorway. "You honestly think you can get rid of me that easily, don't you?" Duo asked, cheekily. "I could always go get my gun." Heero offered.

"I'll see ya when I'm done." Duo said, leaving the room. This made Heero laugh, which seemed to be Duo's goal. To make him laugh. It seemed Duo was comforting Heero the only way Heero would permit. Making him forget. And, in truth, he had forgotten while they were joking around.

@@@@@@@@@

*********Three Days Later*********

Duo stayed true to his word and never mentioned it again, never even gave a sign that he could remember it. Though, Heero knew that he remembered. He was very grateful for not mentioning it. Of course...it had only been three days, yet.

The doorbell rang. "Who the Hell is that?" Duo moaned, unhappy at having to get up from his early morning cartoons on a Saturday. He was wearing nothing, but his boxers when he answered the door.

Sally stood at the door, a scowl on her face and had Wufei by some pressure point on the back of his neck. Well...she was a trained doctor. Wufei seemed to know that one wrong move and Sally could make him go weak in the knees the hard way. Duo had to stifle a small laugh.

"Uh...happy birthday, Sally." Duo said, completely ignoring Wufei. Duo couldn't forget that this day was Sally's birthday if he'd tried. Not after what Wufei put Heero through to get the money for that damn present. He was sure that it couldn't have been so important as to make Heero sell himself. He was still angry at Wufei and probably would be for a very long time.

"Thank you, Duo. Is Heero here? WUFEI has something that belongs to him." Sally said, pressing just a little harder on the pressure point. Wufei fell to his knees.

"Yeah...Heero's here. What's Wufei got that belongs to Heero?" Duo asked. "His money." Wufei gasped. "Yeah...his money." Sally agreed. "Sally...I...we appreciate the gesture, but I don't know if Heero'll want the money back. He put himself through Hell to get that money...he wouldn't want it to be for nothing." Duo said. "From what Wufei told me, Heero needed the money for himself. He was almost broke." Sally said. "Alright, fine. I...I'll get 'im." Duo said, knowing that this was the only way to make them understand. He hated to do this to Heero and he was tempted to just slam the door in their faces, but he didn't, only because Sally was trying to help. He'd have no problem doing it to Wufei. He'd be glad to smack him in the face with the door.

"HEERO!!!!!" Duo yelled. Wufei rolled his eyes and made some sort of a noise. Sally squeezed the pressure point. Wufei shut up, immediately.

Heero walked in, not wearing a shirt. Only his pants and socks. It was hot that day. "Yeah?" Heero asked. Then he saw Wufei. "I distinctly remember saying that I never wanted to see your face again." Heero stated, coldly.

"I don't blame you, Heero. When I found out what he'd done, we came straight down here. Wufei is going to give you an apology and your money back." Sally said.

"I don't want it. I gave up more than either of you know to get that money for him and I want him to keep it and get that present he wanted to get you. I don't want it all to be wasted. I don't want to have to face the fact that I did what I did for no reason." Heero said. "But, Heero..." Sally started. "NO!" Heero yelled, briskly walking back to his room and slamming the door.

"Why wouldn't he want his $300.00 dollars back?" Sally asked. "I don't know if I should tell you two. Heero told me this in confidence and in any case...I don't think he'd want me to tell anyone." Duo said.

"We wont tell. We promise. RIGHT Wufei?" Sally asked, squeezing the pressure point. "Right!" Wufei squeaked. "You both swear to whatever Gods you believe in that you WONT tell another living soul? In fact, even a person's grave or gravesite?" Duo asked. "Yes, yes, of course." Wufei said, hoping Sally would let go of him.

Sally did and pushed him inside. How he'd let her get ahold of him like that was beyond him, but the fact was he had.

"Heero told Wufei repeatedly that he didn't have the money and that he wasn't gonna have it until next week when he got paid. Wufei wouldn't listen to him and eventually, Heero said that he'd have the money by the next day and walked out. I tried to go after him, but he didn't stop when I called him. It wasn't until after he got back and Wufei left that I found out what he'd done. He'd gone to a whorehouse and sold himself to get that money. He was so ashamed of it. He's still ashamed of it. He has good reason to be, but I'm sure he doesn't want anyone else to know. That's what happened in a nutshell. Don't repeat it out loud, in a diary or journal. Nowhere. Don't write it down, don't say it, don't even think it." Duo said. He really didn't want this to get around.

"So, Yuy's a slut?" Wufei asked. Sally gasped and smacked him. He was going to get it when they got home. How could he be so insensitive?

"Damn it, Chang, I don't EVER want to hear that again!" Duo came close to yelling. He didn't know if it was a good thing for Heero to overhear their conversation, but if Heero asked him, he wouldn't lie to him.

"Alright...then Yuy's a whore." Wufei said, smirking. He knew he shouldn't have said it, but he couldn't resist. Duo stood up, the chair falling over, face literally red with rage. "OUT!!!! OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!!! BOTH OF YOU!!!!! I NEVER WANNA SEE YOU IN THE GOD DAMNED NEIGHBORHOOD AGAIN!!!!!!!" Duo shrieked. He could have done far worse, but was controlling himself. Barely. No one talked about Heero like that...especially in their house or in front of him.

He turned around and almost jumped when he saw Heero standing in the doorway with an expression that was sort of a cross between sadness and an 'I told you so' look. For all his training and he couldn't even notice when Heero was eavesdropping...or at LEAST when he opened their room door. Maybe, he'd just gotten so used to the sounds of the doors in the house, that he didn't notice when the doors were opened, unless it was by someone who wasn't supposed to be there.

'Heero.' Duo's mind registered. "Aw, man, look, Heero, I know what Wufei said and all, but you're not a slut and you're not a whore." Duo said. They'd gone through this once. "You told them." Heero said. He didn't sound betrayed. It was rather an acknowledgement. "Yeah...I had to. I didn't want them to think something was wrong with you...or that you were sick...and worry. Besides, they'd just be doggin' us until they found out what was wrong." Duo said. "I'm not mad. It sounds like you were trying to protect me in some way. And I liked watching that little scene with Wufei. I wish you could have seen yourself. You were redder than a beat." Heero said, amusingly.

"Yeah, well, he made me mad. I didn't want him talkin' about you like that." Duo said. This was getting awkward. Too much more talk and Heero would have him revealing his feelings. There was a chance that since Heero had deemed him worthy enough to trust Duo to give him a good fuck and maybe make that dirty feeling that he had go away, that he felt the same way. Of course, that way of thinking didn't always apply...unfortunately.

"Heero, do you still feel..." Duo was cut off. "Dirty?" Heero asked. "Yeah." Duo answered. "Not all the time. Not when I'm with you." Heero said. "Why?" Duo asked.

"You make me feel worth something. Not like I'm just existing. There's something to my life." Heero said. Now, it was Heero's turn to be tongue tied.

Duo thought he knew what Heero was trying to say. He took a very big risk and stepped close to Heero, wrapping his arms around his waist. Duo leaned down, so his lips where just brushing Heero's ear. "I love you." Duo said. He heard Heero gasp and smiled. "I...I..." Heero couldn't finish. "I'll make it easier. Do you love me?" Duo asked. "Y...yes." Heero admitted.

Duo turned his head slightly and kissed Heero's ear. It only took that one move to give Heero goose bumps. Duo trailed open mouthed kisses down Heero's neck, his hands now busy unbuttoning and unzipping Heero's jeans. He slipped his hand inside. "Is this alright?" Duo asked. He needed to take this slow.

"Yes." Heero whispered. Duo let his hand run up and down the length, inside. Heero moaned deliciously at the sensation. No one had been able to pleasure him like Duo. He hadn't loved anyone like he loved Duo. Duo did so little that night that he'd tried to seduce him. He still remembered the feelings that he got. No one had ever been able to make him feel this way. He couldn't even describe the feelings going through him...and for some of the feelings, Duo didn't even have to be touching him, he just had to be within seeing distance.

Duo fondled Heero's sac. Heero moaned out again, loudly. "Duo." Heero moaned, bringing his hands up and burying them in Duo's hair. Duo's hair was still in it's braid, but they both knew it wouldn't be that way for long.

Before, Heero could do anything else, Duo picked him up, damsel-in-distress style, making sure to get to the bedroom as fast as possible. Heero hung on, not really wanting to fall down if he let go. Not really wanting to let go, at all.

Duo dumped Heero on his bed and began to strip. Heero, somehow, got the feeling that this was sort of a more innocent strip tease. But, since when was a strip tease innocent?

Once done, Duo stepped back from the bed, letting Heero examine him. "See anything you like?" Duo asked, huskily. "I can't tell...why don't you come a little closer. My eyes are going bad." Heero said. Duo smirked.

"You shouldn't lie." Duo said, waggling a finger in the air. "Hmm, looks like you'll have to punish me, then." Heero said.

"We'll see." Duo said, climbing onto the bed and taking Heero's socks off first. Then his pants. "Heero, if you need money for underwear..." Duo started, noticing that Heero hadn't any on again. "Yes?" Heero asked, smirking. "Then, you'll have to get it somewhere else." Duo said. Heero was already hard. Duo wasn't going to hold that against him. He wasn't a hypocrite. He was pretty hard, himself. Painfully hard. By the looks of it, Heero had to be in, at least, a little pain from his hard on.

"Do you still wanna go on?" Duo asked. "Yes." Heero answered. "Are you sure?" Duo asked, wanting to be absolutely sure. He didn't want to do something that Heero didn't want. "Yes." Heero repeated.

Duo lay atop Heero, kissing him passionately. "I love you." Duo said, breaking the kiss. "I love you, too." Heero answered him. "No one's ever loved me before." Heero added. "First time for everything." Duo whispered. "Love me, Duo." Heero said, staring into Duo's eyes. Duo moaned at the very images that phrase gave him. He kissed Heero again, this time breaking off and kissing down his jaw to his neck and shoulder.

He wasn't through with his exploration yet, but he wanted to do something, before he went on. He turned Heero around. He put his lips to Heero's right shoulder blade and kissed him there, gently. He opened his mouth and bit down. Hard. He drew blood and Heero jerked. Duo brought a hand up and stroked Heero's cheek in reassurance. He actually wanted this to leave a scar, but he didn't want to bite him hard enough to make him need stitches. This was going to be his personal mark on Heero. His visible claim. He ran his tongue over the wound, lapping up the blood. He hoped he hadn't scared Heero.

He turned Heero over, again. Heero was looking at him with a little more wariness. "I marked you." Duo said. "Marked me?" Heero asked. "Yes. That's sort of like a visible claim, saying you're mine. If you want to, you can give me a mark, too. It can be anywhere you want it to be and you don't have to bite me. You could scratch me or something."

Heero figured that if they claimed each other, he wanted those marks to look alike. Heero sat up and turned Duo around. He did the same thing Duo had done to him in the exact same place. It sort of made him feel like some animal claiming his mate...but...technically they were animals. Not the kind that walked around on all fours all the time or drug their knuckles on ground, but humans were animals...and he DID want Duo to be his mate. For life. Heero felt himself grin at that thought. That had to be, by far, the weirdest thought that he'd ever had. Yet, the thought made some form of sense to him. Maybe, they couldn't reproduce, but in time even THAT could change. Who knew? People were coming up with all sorts of things now. 'Hold on, Heero. One step at a time. Where are all these weird thoughts coming from?' Heero wondered.

Duo felt the pain when Heero bit him and couldn't help but jerk a little, himself. He had been ready for it, he'd known it was coming, but he was still a little surprised.

Heero leaned his head against Duo's shoulder. "I love you." Heero whispered. "I love you, too." Duo whispered in return, turning around.

He pushed Heero back down and continued exploring Heero's body, while Heero's hands had free roam of Duo's body.

Duo's lips reached Heero's navel and he let his tongue dip down in it. He loved the sound that Heero made when he did that, so he did it again. This time the moan that Heero made was louder. Duo smirked at that. He moved downward, just above Heero's arousal. When he paused, Heero tried to force Duo's head down to it.

Duo moved and kissed down Heero's thigh instead. He let his hands tweak Heero's nipples.

Heero was panting. His heart was racing, his breath coming quick. He wanted Duo. He wanted him now. "Duo." Heero panted. "Mmmmm." Heero moaned as he felt Duo's lips and tongue on his inner thigh.

Duo's nose brushed against Heero's hard on. Duo smirked at the delicious noise, his koi made. He decided to pay some attention to the erection. He kissed the head lightly, letting his tongue slip out and taste him. He swirled his tongue around the head, before taking it into his mouth. Heero gasped and arched his back. If Duo continued this, though he'd only just started, this would be over, before it started.

"Duo...I can't wait anymore. Make love to me. To Hell with the foreplay!" Heero yelled. He couldn't keep his voice level anymore.

Those words had Duo moaning at the thoughts they portrayed. "Are you sure?" Duo asked, face flushed, mouth leaving Heero's erection. "Yes. I've never been more sure of something in my entire life. I love you, I want you." Heero said.

Duo moaned again as he reached for his nightstand. He pulled the single drawer open and fiddled around, knocking things around. He finally pulled out a bottle of sun block. He squeezed some onto his fingers. He spread Heero's legs wider.

He pushed a finger through Heero's opening. Oooooh, he was so tight! Especially, for what he'd done only three days ago! So warm, too! And he'd only inserted one finger.

Soon, he was able to insert another and moved them in a scissor like motion, stretching Heero. Heero arched up into the touch, moaning loudly, deliciously. Heero looked so beautiful. If someone asked him what Heero looked like at this moment, he wouldn't be able to put it into words. Heero was too beautiful for Duo to describe with words.

Soon Duo inserted another. "God, Duo! This isn't enough!" Heero yelled, unable to keep his voice down, but neither really cared if they woke up the neighbors or if they drew attention to themselves. It was morning, still. At least Duo thought it was.

Duo coated his dripping cock with the sun block. He positioned himself between Heero's legs. Heero moved his legs so they were encircling Duo's body above his waist.

Duo gently and slowly pressed the head into the tight ring. Heero hissed in pain and threw his head to the side. After only three days he had so much pain with this.

Duo stopped. He could clearly see tears in Heero's eyes as he opened them. "I'm sorry, koi." Duo said, as apologetically as he could in this position. Duo leaned over and kissed Heero, as he slowly seated himself inside him.

The kiss hadn't worked very well. He had hoped to distract Heero from the pain. When he was only halfway in, Heero started squirming. He stopped again, waiting for Heero to adjust. When Heero wiggled, Duo started again, taking that as a cue that he was ready. Heero broke the kiss they had held, only moments after, and buried his face in Duo's shoulder. "Relax, Heero. It'll hurt less, if you relax." Duo said.

Heero nodded and relaxed his muscles as best he could. Soon, Duo was buried in Heero to the hilt. He gave Heero time to adjust, moving his hips in small circles. Heero felt pain at first, but it quickly gave way to pleasure. Heero squirmed a little. "Ready, love?" Duo asked. Heero nodded. Duo slowly pulled out loving the sounds Heero made. Duo moaned at the sensation and at the sound of Heero's moans.

"God, Duo, faster!" Heero begged. Duo complied going faster, but making sure to be gentle. He didn't want to hurt Heero any more than he had to.

Heero grabbed some of Duo's hair, which had come undone sometime during the foreplay, dragging him down to kiss him. Duo returned Heero's kiss, quickening the pace of his thrusts, thrusting harder.

He hit Heero's sweet spot and Heero arched his body, giving and open mouthed moan with white starting to cloud his vision each time the spot was hit.

Duo threw his head back, moaning out Heero's name.

This was their first time together and they'd both wanted this for so long. They weren't going to hold out much longer.

Duo reached a hand between them, encircling Heero's arousal, stroking it in time with his thrusts.

They were both seeing a white hot light, now. "Ooooh, God, Duo!" Heero moaned out. "I love you!" Duo yelled to Heero. Heero moaned again at the sound of Duo's voice and what he'd said. "I love you, too, koibito!" Heero yelled in return. "Cum with me!" Duo yelled, loudly. If he'd cared at the moment, he might have wondered if the neighbors could hear them. Duo pumped Heero's arousal harder and faster in time with his thrusts, which were growing frenzied.

Heero came first all over their stomachs and Duo's hand, screaming out his ecstasy in his lover's name. "DUO!" Heero's insides clamped against Duo's arousal, making Duo cum soon after, shooting his seed deep inside Heero.

Duo collapsed onto Heero, quickly using the strength he had left to pull out of him and roll over next to him, so he wouldn't hurt him.

"Duo?" Heero asked. "Yeah?" Duo answered, almost asleep. "Thank you for loving me." Heero whispered. "Anytime, love. I love you." Duo said, kissing Heero lightly on the lips. Heero returned the kiss. "I love you, too. Promise me, you'll never leave me?" Heero asked. "Only if you promise me the same thing." Duo answered. "I swear it." Heero said. "Then I swear, too." Duo said, wrapping his arms around Heero's waist, drawing him close. They snuggled under the covers, content to stay in each other's arms and sleep the rest of the day.

Author's note: I know, that was sort of a PWP. Well, it was my first lemon with Duo and Heero together and the second lemon I ever wrote.*grins* So, keep that in mind when you review.^_^ Hope you liked it! This really isn't my usual style. Wonder if anyone could tell? ^_^
