Hello, tis me again. I decided to write another Gundam Wing
fic. I liked the last one, and this one is sort of a sequel to Love me tender.
This has a slight shonen ai
(spelled right? I don’t know.) Anyway, if you can’t take it,
don’t read it. A little detail: the last one took place on a spaceship. The
g-boys have gone to Quatre’s
house.
I own none of these characters and make no money off of the
stories I write. (Fuck!)
Just Put Your Arms Around Me
Duo woke
up at the crack of dawn and hopped out
of bed. Heero was no where to be seen, so Duo got a shower and went off in
search of someone to
annoy. He ran down the hall of the house and snuck into the
living room. Trowa and Quatra were sitting on the couch, arms around each
other, watching a movie.
Duo tip toed behind the sofa, then launched himself at the
both of them.
“GOOD
MORNING!!” he yelled.
“Augh!” Quatra
screamed as the brown haired teenager landed on him. “Duo, what the hell is
wrong with you?! Go away before someone hurts you!”
Trowa said, shoving Duo onto the floor.
“Hey! I’m just
tryin’ to have some fun, ya know?” Duo said, heading for the kitchen.
When he
entered the kitchen, he saw Heero leaning against the sink, a cup of coffee in
his hands.
“I already
ordered you breakfast so I wouldn’t have to listen to you complaining that you
were hungry” Heero said.
“Good morning
to you too” Duo said and sat down. He was having trouble believing that he and
Heero had actually done something in his little hideaway. It
had been almost a week since then, and Heero had not so much
as hugged him. Well, maybe it was only a dream. He certainly acts like nothing
happened.
Maybe if I ask…? He thought. He was just about to say
something when a huge tray of food was set before him, and he forgot all about
it for a moment.
“Hey, Heero, ya
want any?” he asked. Heero just shook his head. Duo proceeded to shove large
amounts of food in his mouth. Heero smiled at him, but he
couldn’t see it.
“Duo, I have to
go out. I need to talk to you later, though, okay?” Heero said abruptly.
“Uh, okay. I
want to talk to you, too” Duo said between bites of pancake.
As the
day wore on, Duo began to think that something really had happened between the
two of them, and now Heero was having regrets. “Oh man! I don’t
know what I’ll do if he doesn’t want to be with me. He means
so much to me and… I wonder what he wants to talk about?” he said. At first, he
was unaware that
he had spoken aloud, but when he looked around to see if
anyone had said anything, he realized that he had been speaking to himself.
“I’m falling apart here. I wish
Heero’d get back from wherever it is he went” he said. With
a sigh, he started towards the room he shared with Heero.
Heero was
sitting on his bed when Duo got there. “Hey Heero! When did you get back?” he
asked, plopping down next to him. He didn’t touch him, he was
afraid Heero would withdraw, and he didn’t want that.
“Duo, do
you remember last week?” Heero said at length.
Oh god,
here it comes… “Yes…” he said.
Heero
looked at the long haired boy for a long time. Finally, he drew out a small
envelope from under his pillow. He handed it to Duo and watched as the
other boy stared at it. “It won’t kill you” he said.
Please
don’t let him want to leave me Duo thought as he opened the envelope. Inside
were a dozen pictures of him, mostly of him playing pranks and
even a picture of him in mid air from that morning when he
had scared Trowa and Quatra. There was one picture that he didn’t quite
understand at first. It looked
like a black sheet covered in tiny white spots… “This is
from the… the place I showed you!” he exclaimed in wonder.
Heero
nodded. “I thought you might like something to remember that by” he said.
“Heero, I
don’t want just a picture” Duo heard himself say. Then, before he could stop himself,
“I want you.”
At first,
Heero didn’t move. Duo looked as if he was going to burst into tears. “So this
is what you wanted to say? ‘It was nice, Duo, but I’ve got other
plans’?!” he said.
“Duo,
that’s not it at all! Why would I go through all the trouble of getting these
pictures if I just wanted to say goodbye?” Heero asked.
“Then why
have you ignored me all week?” Duo asked in a hurt voice.
“Didn’t
you look at the pictures? I… Duo, don’t cry! I… don’t know how these things
work. I’m supposed to be a Perfect Soldier, but I’m not. I have one
flaw. You, Duo. An since I can’t get rid of you, I have to
keep you as close as I can. That’s how it has to be” Heero said. Duo didn’t
reply, he turned away so that
Heero wouldn’t see him cry. He was happy that Heero wanted
to be with him, but he couldn’t understand what Heero was saying.
“What do
you want from me, Heero? Do you want me to tag along behind you like a little
lost puppy?” he sobbed.
“No! I want you to… show me… teach me…
how to… love… you. I want to make you happy Duo” Heero said.
“Then
hold me, Heero. Hold me and never let go” Duo said, turning towards him.
Heero put his arms around Duo and gently rocked him until he stopped crying. “I won’t ever let you go” he said.
