"Surveillance Sucks"

 

“Surveillance sucks.”

“I’ll take first watch tonight,” Hiiro sighed dropping his pack on the floor of their closet sized hold while Duo peered through his binoculars.

“No way,” the braided boy snorted adjusting the focus so he could see clearly into the room of the hotel across the street. “You had first shift last night.”

“You just want to watch him molest another hooker,” the Japanese boy grinned dropping his jacket on his bedroll before joining his partner in his inspection.

“Beat’s watching him snore,” Duo chuckled. “I don’t even know why we’re still here,” he groused allowing Hiiro a look through the binoculars. “The guy’s just stoking the nodes.”

“He’s laundering money for…”

“Yeah, yeah, I know,” Duo cut him off snatching his binoculars back again. “Daddy Warbucks is the perfect front to play paycheck for countless criminal activities,” he grumbled peering into the room across the way again. “Looks like he’s back.”

“Alone?”

“Nnnope,” Duo grinned.

Hiiro shook his head and tried not to look too amused by his partner as he prepared for another long night on the hard floor of what was never meant to be a domicile. Une was going to owe them a weekend at a resort after sleeping on the washroom floor for a week. He had just sat down when Duo suddenly hissed excitedly and waved a distracted hand at him.

“Holy shit!” Whatever it was appeared too important for his partner to take his eyes off of which had Hiiro on his feet and on his guard all at once. “You’re not gonna believe this!” Duo was suddenly laughing and handing the spyglasses over.

Hiiro paused long enough to wonder if he had lost his mind as Duo continued to laugh out loud but his insistence that he see whatever was so humorous bade him look. The target was there as usual and it appeared he had another of his nightly companions with him. Hiiro could just see a second body being embraced out of the line of vision. It wasn’t until the man turned them around and he got a good look at tonight’s company that he realized why Duo was laughing and found himself … less than amused.

“So what?” Hiiro grumbled tossing the binoculars back to Duo before heading for his bed.

“So?” Duo chuckled. “Did you see him? It’s a guy,” he clarified just as if Hiiro hadn’t seen.

“You have a problem with homosexuality?” Hiiro snipped plopping down on his blankets.

Duo sobered quickly at the tense sound of his partner’s tone, his eyes narrowing curiously as he took up his watch again. “Naw, man,” he shrugged. “Just surprising after that parade of girls he’s been bringing around.”

“Then he’s bi.” Hiiro snapped trying vainly to fluff the rolled up blanket he had been using for a pillow.

“What is wrong with you?” Duo growled not quiet comprehending his partner’s sudden animosity.

“I just don’t see what so funny about it,” Hiiro retorted.

“It’s not,” the braided boy countered choosing to turn his angry gaze to the couple across the way instead of leering at Hiiro.

“You laughed.”

“So what?” Duo snipped turning his attention back on his partner. “Why the hell’re you taking it so seriously?”

“Why are you acting like it’s a joke?!”

“I’m not! You’re the one snapping at me!”

“There’s nothing wrong with being gay!”

Duo bit back the next words that had sprung to mind so hard he nearly choked, his eyes flashing in the darkness as he gathered his raw nerve and determination and evenly replied, “Do not accuse me of being prejudice against gays.”

“After what you just did I don’t see why not,” Hiiro quietly replied.

“Because I am bi Hiiro,” Duo snapped angrily and for a very long moment silence prevailed. The shocked look on Hiiro’s face was enough to deflate Duo’s ire and leave him disgustingly embarrassed enough to turn his attention back to the window.

“I’m sorry.”

The offering was quiet but sincere and Duo found himself nodding his reluctant acceptance of the words without averting his gaze from where their target was steadily undressing his companion.

“I didn’t realize…” Hiiro went on seemingly unable to find the right words to express himself.

“Don’t sweat it,” Duo sighed then chuckled, “That wasn’t exactly how I thought you guys would find out.”

“Duo…”

“I mean. I think Quat probably already knows.”

“Duo.”

“Which means Trowa’s gotta have a good idea but…”

“I’m gay.”

“………..”

“I just figured we should be on even ground,” Hiiro told him.

Duo slowly lowered his spyglasses, his throat feeling very tight as his heart beat a steady pace and he turned to look at his long time partner with new vision. “You’re um… gay?” he wondered aloud almost not noticing Hiiro’s answering nod. “You never mentioned it.”

“It never came up,” Hiiro replied. “And I didn’t want you to feel uncomfortable knowing…” Hiiro’s words seemed to have been flash fried by the sudden flames on his cheeks as he turned his eyes away.

“Knowing… what?” Duo asked stepping closer to him. “That you like guys?” he hedged.

“That I find you… attractive,” Hiiro confessed.

“Me?” Duo grinned brightly stepping closer yet. “Really?” he smiled trying to catch Hiiro’s meandering gaze as he nodded again. “Wow,” the longhaired boy chuckled softly, his own face pinking at the idea as he eyes raked along a body he had never dared entertain the thought of possibly possessing. “I think you’re pretty hot too,” he grinned laughing lightly again when Hiiro’s eyes finally snapped around to regard him. “So, now were even again,” Duo smiled, his cheeks dimpling under the incandescent sparkle in his eyes.

“Is there any reason why we shouldn’t let this happen?” Hiiro asked and Duo smiled even wider at his obvious confusion.

“Nnnnnope,” he grinned closing the distance between them.

“Duo,” Hiiro breathed, his tongue slipping out to wet dry lips just before his longhaired partner laid his mouth gently upon them.

“Relax.”

“Duo?”

“Mmm.”

“Oh god…”

**

“The guy’s clean,” Duo smiled laying their mission report in front of a disgruntled Une.

“There was no criminal activity?” the woman asked curtly as she glanced over the pages.

“Other than the solicitation…”

“Nothing relevant,” Duo cut his partner off before he could get them into a lengthy discussion about whether or not the man’s habitual solicitation of hookers was just cause to throw him in prison for the next fifty years.

“The last two days of this report are contained in one paragraph,” Une observed peering over her spectacles suspiciously.

“Nothing much to report,” Duo shrugged leaning heavily on Hiiro’s shoulder, his violet eyes crackling with mischief as his partner's face pinked when he grinned, “Just a whoole lotta sex.”
