My Heart.....Your Heart 1/1

The tea kettle whistled, echoing throughout the tiny apartment. Heero Yuy stood from his seat at the kitchen table and walked over to the stove; turning the heat off and placing the hot water on an unused burner.

His roommate and ex-partner was still asleep; it was past noon but the ex-Deathscythe pilot had yet to awaken.

After three years of living together, nothing had transpired of their relationship. The two were best-friends, no matter how many times Heero tried to convey his feelings. Expressing his emotions was something the Japanese boy had yet to learn. He loved Duo; he had loved Duo since the beginning of the war; he just didn't know how to say it to him. In the beginning, he had thought of it as a teenage crush, something that he would get over in a few months. But during those months, instead of disintegrating, his love had blossomed. Now, it had snow balled and his heart ached every time he was forced to face the braided ex-pilot; hiding his feelings in fear of rejection.

"What time is it?" A sleepy Shinigami stepped into the kitchen area, rubbing his sleep filled eyes with the back of his hand.

Heero looked up as his beloved padded over to the coffee maker and poured himself a cup. His Prussian blue eyes raked over his ex-partners disheveled form; taking in the lean body that matured over the past three years.

Duo had sprouted up like a beanstalk; standing at nearly six feet, while he hadn't grown more than a few inches. He often felt like a munchkin whenever he walked down the street with his braided friend.

"You're still coming with me tonight, right?" Duo inquired, turning to face his roommate while he sipped the nearly scalding brew.

"Hai." Heero gave a curt nod and returned to making his tea.

Tonight, he and Duo were going to a restaurant near the ocean. The braided American decided that they needed to go out and party together, just once. Heero often objected to going clubbing with Duo, basically because he didn't want to see his crush making out with some stranger. So Duo suggested going out to dinner; something that wasn't too wild for the ex-Wing pilot. There was a dance floor in the restaurant and good music, so the atmosphere was perfect for the two boys.

"We should leave in a few hours," Duo suggested, "It'll take about an hour and a half to get there."

Heero nodded his agreement. They lived a few miles from the beach, so it wasn't often that they got a chance to see the crashing waves.

"Is something wrong, Heero?" Duo's question startled him. He looked at the concerned American, swallowing thickly as those amethyst eyes bore into his.

"I'm fine."

"You're acting strange." Duo leaned against the counter, sipping his mug and studying his silent companion. Even after all this time, Heero still hadn't opened up fully to him. It disturbed him in some ways, knowing that there was a lot that went on in that head of his.

Heero remained silent for a moment, watching the lean frame that lounged against the kitchen counter. He met those amethyst eyes once again; falling into it's depths and drowning in the violet pools. //He's so beautiful// Heero's expression softened, trying to gather up his courage to tell the violet-eyed boy three simple words. Those three simple words often got stuck on his tongue, and he ended up swallowing them back down.

"I'm fine." He said again, putting more weight into his words. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Duo's lips form a frown, then it disappeared as quickly as it came.

"Alright, Heero. Hey, I'm gonna run down to the store real quick, okay?" The American didn't wait for a reply; he set his mug on the counter and dashed out of the kitchen; long braid trailing behind him.

Shaking his head, Heero frowned as he mentally kicked himself. Why was it so hard to tell him? He wanted Duo to know how he felt; he didn't want to keep living in the dark, hiding his feelings from the braided man. He knew there was no chance Duo would ever love him back, but with each day that passed, a heavy weight seemed to settle on his shoulders.

"Duo ...." The whispered name echoed through the silent apartment.

***

"Are you ready?" Duo peered in through the doorway, raking his eyes over the lithe form standing in front of a full length mirror.

"I didn't hear you come home." Heero faced the violet-eyed boy in surprise. He was relieved that he was already dressed; clad in loose, beige pants, and a buttoned down white shirt. The top three buttons were undone, revealing a smooth expanse of his golden skin.

"I got back while you were in the shower." Duo replied. "Ready to go?"

Heero nodded. He turned off his bedroom light when he got to the door, then he followed the retreating back of his beloved.

Duo was decked out in loose, black pants and a body hugging black shirt. His trademark braid dangled down his back neatly; shining in the pale light of the dying sun.

The naturalness of the Earth was the reason the two pilots chose to live there. There was no artificial light, no artificial weather, everything was .....natural.

"You wanna drive? Or do you want me to drive?" Duo asked when they got into the parking lot.

Heero thought about it for a moment. He hated the way Duo drove, he was like a maniac behind the wheel, but the drive would be long and tiring; only Duo would be able to make an hour long drive and still have energy. "You drive."

Grinning like the maniac he was, Duo hopped into the drivers seat and started the car. He waited until Heero was strapped in beside him, then peeled out of the parking lot.

***

"Aw! C'mon Heero! My driving isn't that bad!" Duo pouted, even as the Japanese boy climbed out of the car, looking a little green.

If he hadn't been feeling so sick, he would have yelled, 'Omae o korosu' at the braided Shinigami. Even though he knew those words had no effect on his companion.

"Hey, at least we made it in one piece." Duo slipped an arm around Heero's waist, startling him with the intimate touch. "I don't want you falling over and scaring away the ladies!"

Heero sighed inwardly, though his body was reveling in the feeling of being so close to Duo. He could smell the musky scent of his friend, and he could feel the body heat emanating from him. He wanted to lean against that firm chest, bury his face in the crook of his neck, hold onto him and never let go....

"Are you okay now?"

"Hai." Disappointed that Duo stepped away from him, Heero schooled his features into a neutral expression. If there was one thing he liked about his training, it was probably the cold mask that hid the inner battles that went on inside of him.

Duo pulled the door open, allowing Heero to go in first then followed close behind.

They were seated quickly, and they ordered appetizers and drinks while they scanned the menu for the main course.

"So, are you going to tell me what was bothering you this morning?" Duo asked the question as soon as they placed their orders. He munched on a piece of buttered bread as he watched the Japanese boys face intently.

Heero swallowed, suddenly nervous and feeling naked under the heavy amethyst stare. He hadn't been expecting Duo to ask that, so he had no idea what to answer him with.

"Heero, we've been best-friends for five years now. You don't have to close yourself off from me."

//Yeah, but if I tell you what's bothering me, you'll head straight for the hills screaming 'fag' over your shoulder// Heero smirked bitterly, ripping off a piece of bread and popping it in his mouth.

Duo sighed, loudly. "Is it about the war? Girl problems? .....Boy problems?" Duo gave him a little wink at the last question; his violet eyes sparkling with mischief.

Heero nearly choked on his bread, staring at the other boy with wide eyes. //Oh god! Does he know?!//

Duo smirked. "Aha! I got a reaction out of you. Score one for Maxwell, Zero for Yuy."

"Why do you care?" It was a simple question, one that Heero was dying to know.

The smirk vanished, and for once, Duo's face was completely serious. "Heero .....we've been through a lot together. We've been to hell and back. I ...care about you, and I .....worry about you."

Heero felt his heart drop six feet underground. He hadn't really been expecting Duo to say he loved him, did he? That was ludicrous! Who would ever love him? Who could ever love him? He was nothing more than a machine created for war, a war that was now over. He had no purpose in life anymore, the only reason he was still alive was because of this beautiful creature in front of him.

"Dance with me." The sudden request broke the long string of degrading thoughts. Heero turned confused eyes on the outstretched hand Duo offered him.

"But ....Duo, you're a boy." Could it be? Did Duo like boys too? Heero refused the false hope; slamming an iron fist onto the tiny ray of light.

Duo rolled his eyes. "So?"

Heero met the warm amethyst gaze, and knew he lost. He took the outstretched hand offered to him, marveling at the softness even though it was callused in several places. He knew his own hand felt the same way.

They walked over to the dance floor, ignoring the dirty glances they received from bystanders. A slow song played over the speakers, allowing Heero to relax since he wasn't used to an upbeat tempo.

Duo pulled the smaller boy to his chest, wrapping his arms around the slim waist and holding him close. Despite himself, Heero snuggled into the hard chest, just like he had wanted a few moments ago. He breathed in the musky scent which was a la Duo, basking in the warmth of the strong arms wrapped around him. In all his life, not once had Heero ever felt like this; safe and content, from a simple, intimate gesture.

"Are you feeling better?" Duo's voice was husky, his warm breath tickling the tiny hairs on Heero's ear. The Japanese boy shivered in the warm embrace, but he nodded his head, answering the question without words.

The two danced in slow circles, completely oblivious to the outside world. At that moment, the only thing that existed were the two of them, holding each other close, never wanting to let go.

"Hungry?" The tone in Duo's voice was different from the way he usually talked; it was low and sensual, conveying deep emotions that Heero had never known to exist. He lifted his head from the warm chest, feeling a tingle of loss form on his cheek.

"Not really."

Duo chuckled and squeezed him tight. "Well, I am."

Heero tried not to look disappointed, but Duo seemed to sense this. He pulled Heero into a tight hug, then placed a butterfly kiss on the top of his unruly head.

In a daze, Heero followed the braided American back to their booth, marveling at the way Duo held onto his hand.

This couldn't be real, could it? It was almost too good to be true. Heero was expecting to wake up at any minute; cold and alone, in his small bedroom covered in sweat. But he never did. He could feel Duo's foot under the table, playing with his own; a sensual smile on those sweet lips. What was happening? Duo wouldn't be interested in him! He was sure of that. Who could ever be interested in him? He wasn't worthy of love. He had ended so many lives .....he deserved a life of solitude and loneliness.

"We all deserve to be happy, Heero." Duo broke into his thoughts, startling him yet again. Did Duo have some sort of psychic abilities that he didn't know about?

"I don't deserve happiness."

Duo's eyes widened in surprise. He reached over the table, clasping the small, delicate hands in his own. "Don't say that. You deserve to be happy more than anyone on Earth and the Colonies. If it weren't for you, there would be no peace in the world and outer space. If it weren't for you, Mariemaia and her goons would have brought chaos to the world. You have all the right in the world to be happy! Don't ever think you don't deserve it!"

The fierceness of Duo's voice caused him to watch the passion and emotion that played across the lovely heart-shaped face. He had never seen such determination and honesty in his braided companion before, making him truly listen to the words spoken.

"Everyone helped bring peace to Earth and Outer space. You and the others fought just as hard. Just like Relena and the Preventers. Noin and Zechs. The citizens. I didn't bring peace, everyone did."

"But if it weren't for you, life on Earth wouldn't exist. You deserve happiness Heero. Don't degrade yourself because you don't think you're worthy. You are."

Heero sighed, studying the silverware on the table. "Maybe ...."

"Uh uh. No maybe. You are worthy. Say it! I'm worthy of being happy!"

"Duo," Heero said, glaring at the braided boy. "Shut up."

Duo chuckled, letting go of Heero's hand then scooping up a mouthful of food.

***

"You wanna take a walk on the beach?" Duo reached out for Heero's hand again, pulling him close and wrapping his arms around him. Heero nodded, smiling in the comfort of darkness.

The evening hadn't gone how he had thought it would go. Duo didn't dance with any of the ladies that approached him, all his attention was focused on Heero. The soft smiles sent towards him melted the cold ice around his heart, turning it into a warm puddle of liquid. He didn't know where this was heading, but he hoped that it headed in the direction he had always dreamed about.

"I love the beach." Duo commented, he shucked off his shoes, motioning for Heero to do the same. They left the articles near a grassy area, peeling off their socks as well.

The cold sand sank between their toes, cushioning the balls of their feet as they took off hand in hand down the slopes. Above them, the sky was a blanket of dark blue; the stars sparkled down on them, the full moon illuminating the deserted area.

The ocean sparkled against the moonlight, reflecting it's own silver stars on the dark mass of liquid. The streetlights couldn't be seen from the dunes, leaving the two boys in natures privacy.

Duo stopped when they neared the waterline, turning to face Heero completely. The Japanese boy looked up, his blue eyes taking in the ethereal beauty illuminated by the moonlight. His eyes locked on the darkened amethyst gaze; falling into it's depths once again. He felt his eyes droop as those eyes neared his, their faces inches apart. Warm breath tickled his lips, sending a tingle down the length of his spine. Two pairs of eyes shut at the same time, then their lips met.

Heero's heart leapt in his throat when he felt the soft, firm lips press against his own. His lips brushed against Duo's, sliding together like silk on silk. He couldn't believe he was kissing him! He was really kissing Duo Maxwell!

A warm, moist tongue slid along his bottom lip, asking silently for admittance. Heero opened his mouth, allowing the hot muscle to coax his own tongue into a slippery dance. He could feel Duo's arms tighten around his waist, pushing his body against the warmth of his own body. His arms lifted up to wrap around the braided mans neck, pushing his mouth more firmly against his own.

Duo tasted like heaven. He eagerly explored every crevice of his companions moist cavern, tasting and familiarizing himself with it. He didn't have very long, because Duo soon dominated the kiss, filling his mouth with the slithery monster, sliding along his teeth and the roof of his mouth.

Heero was vaguely aware of being lowered to the ground, he could feel the cold sand against the thin fabric of his shirt. He shivered slightly when a warm breeze traveled up his shirt, causing him to reach for the other boy, pulling him fully on top of him.

They broke the kiss panting, each one staring into the others eyes.

"Duo ...." Heero moaned as he felt the hard length of his companions arousal brush against his. He looked deep into the amethyst gaze, seeing the lust and desire that flitted around the edges. The dominating emotion in those eyes had his heart singing in joy. Love.

"I love you, Heero." Duo whispered the words breathlessly, maintaining eye contact with the other boy.

The fullness of completion had Heero's emotions running wild. His eyes began burning with hot tears, filling so quickly that they began spilling down his flushed cheeks. His heart felt like it would burst with sheer happiness, pounding deep within his chest. He managed a rare smile for the boy he loved, the boy that loved him as well.

"Aishiteru, Duo." Those words finally left his mouth, ringing with truth and sincerity. He closed his eyes and said it again, forming it into a little mantra, unable to say it enough times.

"I've always loved you. Since the very beginning." Duo whispered the words against his lips, kissing him softly every now and then. "I love you. I love you. I love you."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Heero asked, breathlessly. All this time, they both loved each other but neither had said anything.

"I didn't think you were interested."

"Hn. Baka."

"Mmmm, I'm your baka." Duo rubbed himself against Heero's sex, kissing those pouty lips at the same time.

"Nnnnn! Duo! Make love to me ...." Heero kissed his newfound lover feverishly, opening his mouth and allowing the slick tongue to slide into his cavern again.

They continued kissing, tongues dancing as hands prowled the others body. Soon, the kisses grew heated and sloppy, tongues thrusting and massaging. Heero slipped his hands under the tight fabric of Duo's shirt, squeezing the silk flesh that contained hard muscles underneath. He moaned as Duo rocked his hips against his manhood, slow motions; sliding his hips up and down in a mocking act of what was wanted.

"Heero." Duo groaned, moving his hands to the front of Heero's shirt.

Nimble fingers began slowly unbuttoning the white shirt. As each button fell away, Duo placed a butterfly kiss on the newly exposed flesh. The cool night air sent goose-bumps down Heero's arms, but the heat that Duo was bringing to his body was quickly warming him. When the last button was undone, Duo pushed back the offending fabric; sitting back on his knees to gaze at the naked torso.

Hard muscles covered the seemingly flawless, gold skin. The Japanese boy was well muscled, but not overly so. His hips were slim, giving off an almost feminine appearance. He looked up to meet his lovers cloudy, Prussian eyes. The other boy was silently begging, pleading with him to touch him. Duo complied, bringing down his fingers to slide along the bared skin in feather-light touches. The simple ministration had the golden skin flaring up in pleasurable bumps, leaving the blue-eyed boy gasping at the slight touch. His fingers brushed against the pink nipple; erecting it to life, then giving it a firm squeeze. Another gasp was evoked from those sweet, tempting lips. Duo dove down and claimed those tender lips, kissing fiercely with an array of open mouthed kisses.

Heero kissed back eagerly, both of them leaving out the tongue play. His hands started lifting the tight material off the Americans body, pushing it up until it rested under Duo's arms.

Duo sat back, pulling the shirt off and discarding it to the side. He leaned down again, claiming those lips, pressing their bare chests together.

They both gasped at the skin-to-skin contact. The heat of their bodies burning the other.

Pushing the braided boy up so he could get a good look at his unadorned chest, Prussian blue eyes raked hungrily over the lean form. Duo had filled out over the years, his muscles were hard and taught, but not disgusting. They were the perfect size, not too big and not too small. He could feel himself harden even more; his body anticipating the act that would soon come to follow.

"You're so beautiful, Heero." Duo pressed forward again, seizing the Japanese boys lips. Their tongues met in a slow, hazy dance; swirling around in gentle circles, nothing rushed.

Heero was dimly aware of Duo's hands fumbling with his zipper. He could feel the slight pressure on his hardened length, causing him to moan and fumble with his own button. He lifted his hips, allowing the braided man to pull his pants down; throwing the material over his shoulder.

The night air brushed along his bare legs, cooling the heated skin. Heero looked up and met the lustful gaze of his one and only, coming to a quick decision. He sat up, pushing the American back so he lay on the sand; his fingers tugged at the other boys pants, making quick work and discarding the annoying material. He gasped when he saw that Duo wore no underwear; his swollen arousal stood high and proud, dripping with need in a pearly white drop. He could hear Duo moaned when he licked his lips, eyeing the dripping erection with hunger in his eyes. The Japanese boy wasted no time, he lowered his head and swiped his tongue across the heated flesh; lapping up the bitter dew that had his mouth craving for more.

"Heero." Duo moaned, propping himself up on his elbows to watch the dark haired boy settle between his legs.

Heero licked the underside of the long length, then he buried his face in his beloved's lap; inhaling the exotic scent. He rubbed his cheek against the velvety arousal, nuzzling against it like a kitten in search of attention. A pink tongue darted out, circling the head, then plunging down to envelop the burning staff. A sweet moan rumbled up Duo's throat, bringing a genuine smile to the Japanese boys lips. His tongue molded around the hard flesh, his lips sealing tightly, then he slowly started bobbing his head up and down, taking Duo deeper into his mouth with each descent.

Duo's hands dived into the thick mass of dark hair, massaging the scalp as the velvety warmth brought waves of ecstasy to his body. His eyes focused on the erotic picture of Heero Yuy moving his head up and down, sucking his length like the best lollipop in the world. He groaned, thrusting his hips up to meet each descent. He could feel his climax approaching, starting from his groin then traveling up his body. He pulled Heero back before he climaxed, leaning forward to seal his lips against the other boys slightly swollen lips.

"I want to be inside you." Duo moaned, sliding his tongue along Heero's jaw line. He buried his face in the crook of his neck, suckling the soft flesh behind Heero's earlobe.

Heero gasped as Duo licked a sensitive area behind his ear, his arousal pulsed within the confines of his boxers, making the Japanese boy pull back to throw it off. He leaned back against the sand, giving the braided American an enticing look. He spread his legs wide, offering himself completely to the boy he loved.

"Beautiful." Duo whispered, brushing his lips over the hardened nipples. He pressed his erection against his soon-to-be lovers opening, rubbing his excitement over the puckered entrance. He knew he should prepare the other boy, but he couldn't wait any longer; his arousal felt like it would explode if he didn't get release soon. "I'm sorry baby. This is going to hurt a little."

Heero clawed at Duo's shoulders when the slick head of Duo's cock pushed past the tight ring; peeling him open and leaving a burning sensation in it's path. He felt tears spring to his eyes, but he forced them back by biting down on his lower lip, nearly drawing blood. His short nails dug into the soft flesh of Duo's shoulders, breaking the skin and leaving marks in it's path. He could feel Duo pressing forward, stretching and opening him, then he thrust in deeply at one time. Heero couldn't fight back the scream that erupted from his throat, the tears falling freely at the sudden pain that shot through his body. Duo was completely embedded in him, stretching him in places that had never been stretched before.

"I'm sorry baby. I know it hurts, it'll go away soon. I promise." Duo kissed away the tears that rolled down his koi's face, hoping to relax his lover so the pain would disappear soon. He reached down and wrapped a callused hand around the neglected arousal, stroking him in hopes of distracting him.

Heero shut his eyes tightly, forcing his body to relax. A soft moan left his lips when he felt Duo stroking him, distracting his mind from the burning sensation in his bottom. He looked up to meet an apologetic amethyst gaze, concern and worry clear in the violet eyes. He managed a faint smile, mouthing, 'Aishiteru' to his beloved.

Duo smiled, releasing the erection from his hand and placing them on the side of Heero's head. He leaned forward, kissing the other boy as he began rocking his hips in circles, still giving the Japanese boy time to adjust.

The pain was fading from the lower region of Heero's body, replacing it with a feeling of fullness and completion. He lifted his hips slightly, motioning for Duo to start moving. The braided man complied, withdrawing slightly, then pushing back in at a snail pace. Heero moaned, wrapping his arms tightly around Duo's neck; closing his eyes and marveling at the sensation of being filled.

"Mmmm, you're so tight, baby." Duo thrust into the warm channel slowly, afraid of hurting the Japanese boy beneath him. The tightness and warmth brought exquisite pleasure to the braided man, causing him to pick up the pace just a notch.

Heero looked up at the boy who claimed his body, wrapping his legs around the slim waist, then meeting the other boy thrust for thrust.

"Duo!" Heero's eyes grew impossibly wide as a jolt of pleasure rushed through his veins; he met the darkened amethyst gaze with wonder in his eyes, pleading with the other silently for more of that pleasure.

Duo thrust more quickly into the tight passage, making sure the tip of his cock pushed that button that had Heero arching off the sand and screaming. He smiled inwardly, not surprised that the silent boy was a screamer. The quiet ones were always the loud ones.

"Uhnnnn! Duo! Harder! Onegai!" Heero met the slamming hips with an intense thrust of his own, screaming in ecstasy as his pleasure spot was hit over and over again. He clawed at Duo's back, completely oblivious to the fact that he was drawing blood. All he could think about was the intense joining the two boys were sharing; his mind abandoning him to the fluffy white clouds of absolute bliss.

Duo made hard, deep thrusts; pushing his Japanese lover to new heights of ecstasy. The sweet moans erupting from the smaller boy turned him on immensely, bringing on the impending sensation of nearing climax. He reached down and enveloped Heero's cock with his hand, stroking him in time with his deep thrusts. He watched, entranced, as the Japanese boy threw his head back, screaming his name at the top of his lungs. The sound of his name being screamed so sweetly from the other boy sent Duo over the edge. The tight muscles of Heero's body clamped down on his throbbing length, milking out his hot essence from his pulsating cock. His warm release coated the insides of Heero's body, marking the Japanese boy as forever his.

Heero could feel the hot seed spill into his body, along with the pulsing erection that seemed to twitch in his channel with each shot. His stomach was drenched with his sticky essence, a thin sheen of sweat coated both of their bodies, and their hearts thudded wildly from the intensity of their joining. He felt Duo gently pull out of him, leaving a feeling of emptiness as he slid out of his hot channel. He turned on his side as Duo settled on the sand next to him, wrapping his arms around the Japanese boy and pulling him close.

A smile graced both boys lips as they snuggled together under the beautiful night sky. The air cooled their heated bodies, relaxing their muscles as they lay together, basking in the glow of the moon.

Lifting his head from Duo's chest, Heero met the warm violet eyes of his new lover. He gave him another soft smile, leaning forward and pressing a tender kiss on his firm lips. "Aishiteru."

"Mmm, I love you too, baby." Duo smiled sleepily, running his fingers through the unruly mass of his lovers hair.

Heero settled back against Duo's chest, closing his eyes and listening to his lovers heartbeat. He barely sensed his boyfriend moving under him, reaching out for his discarded pants.

"Heero?" Duo's voice brought the Japanese boy out of his fuzzy haze. He sat up and looked at his violet-eyed love with sleepy eyes.

"I know this is kind of sudden, but I've loved you for a very long time." Duo opened up his palm, revealing a cherry flavored ring pop in his hand. "Will you marry me?" There was amusement in the violet gaze, but also seriousness as well. He looked at Heero expectantly, giving him his most innocent look.

"A ring pop?" Heero questioned. He gave the braided boy a questioning look, but for some reason, the gesture suited the ex-pilot. Only Duo would propose with a candy bar.

Duo grinned. "I just thought if you said no, I could always eat it after."

The two boys burst into laughter, a strange but delightful experience. Duo couldn't remember ever hearing the Japanese boy laugh outside of battle, and even then, his laugh had been a crazed and unnerving experience.

"So? Will you?" Duo opened up the wrapper, holding out the huge candy in front of Heero's ring finger.

Heero looked into the amethyst gaze, all humor completely gone. He could feel his eyes burn with tears again, sliding down his cheeks like a waterfall. He flung his arms around his braided companion, nodding his head and whispering, "Hai." In his ear.

Duo's heart soared with happiness, he wrapped his arms tightly around the other boy, holding him close and never wanting to let go. He kissed the top of Heero's head repeatedly, whispering his words of love and devotion over and over again.

Finally, Heero drew back, gazing at his braided lover with shining eyes. The happiness in his heart was nearly blinding, giving him a light headed feeling. He watched as Duo slipped the ring pop on his finger, lifting his hand to his own lips, allowing him to suckle on the sweet red candy.

Duo watched his lover lick the candy, the feeling of love and devotion washing over him as he saw the love in the deep blue eyes. Eventually, he withdrew the candy from Heero's mouth, bringing the ring to his own lips to suckle on it.

Heero withdrew his hand when Duo let go of the candy, he gave the other boy a startled look when Duo slipped the candy off of his finger and popped it in his mouth. His braided lover took the candy out of his mouth, dangling the ring from his index finger.

"I thought that ring would look better on you." Duo motioned to Heero's ring finger, watching in amusement when Prussian blue eyes shot open in shock.

On his ring finger, where the ring pop had currently been, a white gold band circled his finger. The circlet was covered in small amethyst jewels, completely encircling the entire band. He looked up at Duo with new tears in his eyes, cursing himself mentally for the sudden emotions racking through him.

"Duo ...." Heero choked, unable to find the right words for how he was feeling. Joy, Happiness, Love, and Devotion all raced through his veins. Melding together, bringing him a tingly sensation of belonging; of being loved. Never, in all his life, had he been as happy as Duo made him at this moment.

Duo wrapped the Japanese boy in his arms, holding him close and stroking his back. "I love you, Heero. Now and forever. You have my heart, and I have your heart."



~Owari~

Awwww! I'm such a sap. Heero and Duo are so cute, ne? Oh! If your wondering where Duo went when he left Heero, he went to get the ring pop. ^__^
