" The Lovers Secret "Written By: Chastity Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing. Pairings: 1+2 Warnings: Shonen Ai, Angst, Violence, Deathfic Rating: PG 13 *Indicates thoughts* The Lovers Secret Duo blinked his eyes, letting them slowly adjust to the light of the sun, which had come up just minutes before. He looked to his left where Heero layed. It had been a wild night for the two boys. A smile played at the corners of Duo's mouth as he remembered the passion, ecstasy and surprise that had occured. But the smile quickly faded as he realized that Heero planned to be back in his room, especially since the other boys didn't know. It would come out sometime, he knew, but for the time being keeping the secret was exciting, almost sexy. He also loved the fact that he knew something that the others didn't. A knocking at the door brought Duo's happy thoughts to a jarring halt. Eyes wide, he had a quick decision to make. Duo pushed Heero off the bed, which resulted in a loud thud. Heero sat up, about to yell at Duo, when a voice called through the door, "Duo? Are you all right?" "Yeah," he yelled back, "I just fell out of bed. You startled me Trowa." "We're sorry. We were just wondering if you'd seen Heero this morning, but I guess not, since you just got up," Quatre suddenly chimed in. Heero looked up at Duo pleadingly. Duo shrugged and stammered, "Uh, no. I mean, you know Heero. He's probably out for a jog or something." After a moment of silence, Quatre finally said, "Yeah, you're probably right. OK, we'll talk to you later, then." Duo listened to the fading foot falls of his two friends until they were gone. Then, he let out the breath that he was holding the whole time. *Thank God that they didn't come in. Or hear us last night.* He lifted his blankets, exposing his nakedness, and put his feet on the floor. He prepared to get up, but realized that he couldn't, because Heero had wrapped his hands around Duo's waist. "Where are you off to in such a hurry?" he asked coyly. Smiling, Duo replied, "Nowhere you don't want me to be." And with that, he gave Heero a long hard kiss, invading his mouth with an eager tongue. This was met with a move just as great, as Heero slowly slid his hand over Duo's waist to his... "Duo? Are you coming down for breakfast?"
a voice interrupted. Duo got up and started to dress himself, making a mental note to bound and gag Quatre the next time he planned to spend the night with Heero. Duo looked over at his young lover, who was still on the bed wrapped in sheets, and furrowed his brow slightly. Heero noticed this right away. Tilting his head to the side a little, he asked, "What's wrong?" Duo frowned, "You're going to have to climb out the window so no one knows. Is it that important? I mean, it's exciting and all, but is it really worth all this trouble?" Heero motioned for Duo to sit beside him. "If you want to tell them, you're more than welcome to. I'll support you in whichever decision that you make." Duo sat there silently for a moment and opened his mouth
to say something but was stopped when Heero placed a finger over his
lips. Duo nodded. He got up and walked to the door. He paused to look back at Heero. A smile made its way across his face, then he opened the door and disappeared through it. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Heero walk through the back door into the kitchen. Duo was sitting at the table with Quatre, drinking tea and talking about their plans for the day. Heero walked over to the fridge and yanked the door open. He leaned over and opened the crisper, then set out to find the apple that he had hid in the bottom so Trowa wouldn't take it like the last time. The whole while Duo watched as Quatre's eyes were distracted by Heero's fine, taut, little ass. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth and would have made its way across his face too, had it not been for the slight pang of jealousy that he felt. He knew he was being silly, but he just couldn't help thinking... "Earth to Duo! Come in Duo! The aliens have landed!" called Quatre as he waved his hand in front of Duo's face. Startled, Duo jumped back in his chair, causing it to fall back while he was still in it. Duo layed on his back, momentarily stunned. Hee loked up and saw Quatre and Heero standing over him, with concerned looks on their faces. Blushing, Duo managaed a nervous smile. "Stupid chair," Duo muttered. Quirking an eyebrow, Heero bent over, grabbed Duo's arm and helped him to his feet. Duo quickly brushed himself off and looked into Heero's eyes. All he meant to do was thank him, but their gaze was locked and he couldn't bear to look away. He didn't have to though. Heero's eyes darted quickly to the left, to remind Duo that that was where Quatre was standing. Clearing his throat, Duo took a step back and turned to face Quatre, who wore a smug smile. Duo had to change the subject and fast. He racked his brain for anything that might make Quatre forget what he had just seen. "Uh, so...uh, when are...you going to...rent the movies that you were talking about?" Duo finally managed to get out. Smirking, Quatre replied, "Whenever. If you want to come, you're welcome to do so." Duo nodded. "Uh, yeah. Yeah, sure. Maybe I'll find that movie I really wanted to see." Just then Trowa and Wufei walked throught the door. Wufei's always clean white pants were brown all over, only to go with his dirt covered shirt. He was scowling and his hair was a frightful mess. Trowa, on the other hand, was as neat and clean as when he went out earlier, except his shirt was slightly ruflled and untucked. "Sparring, again, were you?" asked Heero as he took a big bite of his apple. Trowa gave Heero a dirty look when he saw the apple in his hand and muttered "Brat hid the apple on me." Wufei, obviously very unhappy, just snarled at Heero and stomped up the stairs. "Geez, you really layed it on him good, didn't you?" Duo asked after Wufei had slammed his door. Trowa gave an almost unseeable smile, "He didn't land a single blow. I think that he's out of shape or losing his touch." "I am not!! You just cheated!!" came an unexpected reply, which was followed by a door slamming again. The four boys in the kitchen howled with laughter. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ It was a clear, crisp day, Duo noticed as he walked out the front door. There was dew drops on the leaves of the small bushes surrounding the house. It was still early in the morning, so the temperature was just perfect. Duo smiled and inhaled deeply, letting the fresh air reawaken him. Then, he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. turning, he saw that it was Heero's hand. A wide smile spread across his face and Heero wrapped his arms around Duo. "You're taking a real chance you know." Duo said, giving Heero a coy look, who just pulled Duo closer. Heero plainly said, "Uh-huh," and pulled Duo as close as he could get him, and then pressed his lips onto his lover's. Duo couldn't get enough. It was blissful. It was exciting. It was interrupted by the sound of a hand rattling the door knob. Unsure of how he and Duo would explain this, Heero did the first thing that came to his mind: he pushed Duo away. Duo wasn't surprised that Heero pushed him away, but he was surprised when he took a step back and discovered that there wasn't anywhere for him to put his foot. So, Duo stumbed backwards, down the three front steps then fell on his rear. Looking up at Heero, he stuck out his tongue and glared. Heero and Duo then looked at the door to see who it was. Quatre. That figures. And trailing behind him was Trowa and freshly cleaned up Wufei. "Well, are we off?" asked Duo, who was still sitting at the bottom of the stairs. Trowa looked at Duo, "What are you doing down there?" Taking a look around, Duo finally said "Well, I thought that I was sitting here, but by the look on your face I must be doing something else." Quatre smirked while Trowa threw up his arms and muttered, "Why do I even bother?" "Well, as soon as Duo gets up, we can head over to the video store." Quatre said as he gave Duo a look that meant 'NOW!' Duo, knowing full well that he shouldn't say anything, got up and brushed his butt off. He huffed out a breath and did a pouty look, which earned him a very skeptical look from Quatre. "Maxwell, you're a nerd," Wufei snorted. With a look of mock outrage, Duo simply stated, "I'm
nothing like you!" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "What about this one?" Duo asked, flashing yet another video at Heero. Rolling his eyes, Heero took the video from Duo, scanned the box, then put it back on the shelf and continued to look at other videos. Duo stuck his tongue out at Heero once again and left to find other movies that might interest him. Eventually they found a movie that they would all enjoy. They paid the rental fees and were on their way. They had walked less than a block when Heero heard the unmistakable squeal of tires on the pavement. He turned and saw a car filled with members of one of the cities many gangs. And there, sitting on the dash was one of the probable many guns that they had. The car approached rapidly. Heero turned and looked over to where hisfriends were. Behind them was a store where gang members frequented, and in his gut he knew that was the target. "Get down!" he cried as he started to run towards them. The car flew by Heero. A gun was perched on a half open window to help steady it. Heero watched helplessly as a young boy walked out of the store behind his four friends. The boy hit the ground when he saw the car. Heero did the same. The shots rang out and chaos errupted. It happened in a matter of seconds and the car roared off, leaving a scene of complete devistation. Looking up, Heero saw a crowd gathering in front of him. He got up and pushed his way through it. When he got through, he nearly collapsed at what he saw, but Trowa caught him. Duo was lying face down as a pool of blood slowly grew around his head. The video they had rented was still clutched in his hand and his braid layed down the center of his back as if it had been carefully laid there. Heero let his tears flow freely as his three friends tried to comfort him. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The ambulance arrived minutes later, only to pronounce Duo DOA - Dead On Arrival. They were about to place him in a black body bag when Heero stopped them. "Can I just do one thing?" he asked as tears threatened to fall once more. The two paramedics looked at each other and reluctantly said, "OK, sure." Heero kneeled beside Duo's lifeless body and slipped off his cross necklace. Thanking the paramedics, he walked over to Quatre, Wufei and Trowa. Quatre thought carefully for a moment, then said, "We knew, Heero." "Knew what?" Heero asked suspiciously. Taking a deep breath, Quatre answered, " About you and Duo being lovers. You two were trying to keep it a secret." Heero frowned as he thought about whether he should tell Quatre and the others or not. He finally decided that he should. "We weren't keeping that a secret as much as we were this," Heero said as he opened his hand to reveal the necklace. For there, one on each side of the cross, were two gold rings. Engraved inside each of them was 'Duo and Heero Forever.' "We were engaged." The End |
