***

I will never find another lover sweeter than you, sweeter than you

I will never find another lover more precious than you, more precious than you

Boy You are close to me you're like my mother,

Close to me you're like my father,

Close to me you're like my sister,

Close to me you're like my brother

You are the only one my everything and for you this song I sing

The sounds of electronic music played loudly in the air. In the crowed arcaded, those who dared to waste money where found in mass. Heero growled and leaned back when his game screen flashed game over. “Tough luck Hee-chan, looks like you’re finally lose.” Duo teased, “so much for your impressive piloting skills!” Adding a hard whack to his companion’s back, Heero’s cool eyes glared into Duo’s, He then went to reach into his pocket for another coin, when Duo supplied him one. Heero blinked in surprise as Duo’s grin softened to a loving smile. “This one on me.” Heero looked down at the coin than back up at the boy. “After all I did whoop your ass, it’s only fair. I’ll even give you a head start, okay?” Heero took the coin and sighed darkly before restarting the game. Duo grinned and leaned into his game controls. “That’s right ladies and gents, Duo Maxwell going kick some major ass!”

All my life I pray for someone like you

I thank God that I, that I finally found you

All my life I pray for someone like you

And I hope that you feel the same way too

Yes, I pray that you do, love me too

Heero shoved his hands into his jacket and walked the streetlight slowly warm up. Beside him he heard Duo make a muffled squeal, sudden Duo yanked the serious pilot over to him. Heero’s eyes widen as Duo grinned at him as he pointed at the shop window. Hs faced to face with an ice-cream parlor. Damn his luck. He turned to Duo again, and winced inwardly. The damn puppy dog-look in eyes was irresistible to ignore, his eyes seem to even hold stars of light in them. “It’s two scopes for the price of one!” And for good measure he added, “oh please Hee-chan?”

He had faced couples odds before, but now he couldn’t keep his own. He was losing a the battle with Duo as usual. He felt his head bob with submission. Damn I’m weak. “Alright,” Duo cheered and snatched the other’s arm and yanked him inside.

As Duo picked out his flavors of ice cream, Heero watched him. His eyes slightly brighten as he watched the boy revert back to his childish behavior. Duo ran from one counter to another and then cried up into the sky that there just too many good flavors to choose from. Heero felt an uncharacteristic smile sweep across his face at Duo’s voice. Duo turned and looked at him then, feeling exposed fro a moment Heero went to look away. “Hee-chan, don’t you want anything?” Heero slowly walked over and examined the flavors a moment. Then turned to the employee. “Gooey Gooseberry.” Duo blinked in surprise and then laugh, “what?” Duo struggled to stop laughing. “Nothing I just didn’t picture you as the type.”

Finally Duo made his decision on two scopes of vanilla and strawberry. The pair walked out of the parlor and down the street once more.

Said I promised to never fall in love with a stranger,

You're all I'm thinking of

I praise the Lord above,

For sending me your love,

I cherish every hug,

I really love you!

Duo finished his ice cream and turned to Heero. The way the light bounced off his hair made his chest burn. Duo moved to walk closer to the serious boy, and even purposely bumped into him. Heero glanced over at him and then looked away again. Inwardly he cheered at Duo’s sudden playful mood. Duo knew Heero was just playing his usual role of the hard to get. So Duo nudged him again. “Now what,” Heero scuffed. Duo wrapped his arm around other’s shoulder and yanked him close. “Nothing! I just like walking next to a hot guy!” Heero felt a slight brush creep across his face. “Baka!” He snapped and shoved the other away. Inwardly he was disgusted at his own behavior. He loved it when Duo causally touched him in any form, but he still felt the old reflex to shove him away kick into play.

Heero felt his breath quicken when Duo watched him with those big eyes, almost upset. But he quickly hid it with a smile and flipped his braid behind him. “Come on, grumpy. We should be getting back.” Heero felt his mood dropped, he nodded slowly before following the other. His eyes locking on Duo’s mass of chestnut hair, damn I’m an asshole.

And All my life, I pray for someone like you,

And I thank God that I, that I finally found you

All my life I pray for someone like you

I hope that you feel the same way too

Yes, I pray that you do, love me

Climbing the steps to the apartment was like fighting a raging river. He couldn’t keep his mind on the task, too upset with himself over hurting Duo. Heero lifted his hand to open the door. The keys jiggling softly against the door, as he struggled with the lock. Behind him, Duo waited for the other to complete the chore. “Need help?” Duo asked, Heero felt the keys tumbled from his hands. He cursed softly before reaching down to pick them up. Duo frowned and then smiled tenderly before nudging his way in and taking the keys. “Here,” he whispered and took the keys. Once the door was open he motioned the other inside and added a grin. “Home sweet home!” Heero looked at Duo, his eyes searching. He then nodded and entered the dark apartment.

You're all that I've ever known, your smile on your face, all I see is a glow,

You turned my life around,

You picked me up when I was down,

You're all that I've ever known, when you smile your face glows,

You picked me up when I was down

You're all that I've ever known, when you smile your face glows,

You picked me up when I was down & I hope that you feel the same way too,

Yes I pray that you do love me too

Heero crawled into bed and stifle a yawn. He went to turn off the lamp when Duo came springing into the room. The boy leaped into the air and landed hard on the bed. Heero’s eyes widen as his bed threatened to send him bouncing right off. He sent Duo a glare once the shaking subsided. Duo grinned nervously at the other, but Heero reached over and turned off the light before laying down. Beside him Duo smiled and moved closer until his nose was inches from Heero’s. “Goodnight, Hee-chan.” Heero said nothing but reached over and yanked the other closer. “Shut up and go to sleep.” Duo smiled and snuggled next to him.

Heero’s eyes open as he felt Duo soft breath on his neck. Vaguely he wondered if Duo was dreaming of him, and hoped he was. Heero grinned a rare grin; damn he was lucky to have this little bundle of energy. His fingers tighten around the other, and he rested his face in Duo’s thick hair. Some how with Duo there Heero always knew things would be all right in the end. He listened to the other’s soft breathing, his eyes growing heavy as if under a spell.

All my life, I pray for someone like you,

I thank God that I, that I finally found you

All my life I pray for someone like you

I hope that you feel the same way too

Yes, I pray that you do, love me too

All my life I pray for someone like you

Heero felt his eyes surrender to the spell of sleep, but before he drifted off into blackness he allowed the moment of peace to wash over him. Duo seemed made to make him feel human, and so he would hold onto the light boy for as long as he could. For with Duo he was just a little free of the horrors of war. Duo was his savior in the dark, and he be damned to let the other fall away from him because of pride. He reached down and searched for Duo’s face. He than planted a lover’s kiss on the other’s nose. Duo made a muttering sound and snuggled closer to the other. Heero closed his eyes and smirked, “goodnight.”
