of like the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other thing. They are his

Setting: Duo and Heero are heading to meet their fellow pilots at their
current safehouse, after a really bloody fight with many casualties.
---------------------------------------------
-God I feel like hell tonight-
// Damn! I feel like I was run over by a truck. A large truck. Then dropped
off a large, jagged cliff with rocks at the bottom. //
-Tears of rage I cannot fight-
// 300+ casualties because of me. Too many innocent people dead because I
didn't get there fast enough. Because I couldn't stop them. //
-I'd be the last to help you understand-
"Hey!" said Duo over the intercom. "Don't be too hard on yourself! It's not
your fault that they didn't evacuate when told. And remember…I was there
too."
"Leave me alone."
// I don't want to have to be bothered. I don't want to be happy after what
just happened. I don't want you to see me like this. //
-Are you strong enough to be my man? -
[At the safehouse after hiding their Gundams.]
"Oi! Heero! Lighten up. It wasn't your fault!" said Duo with a look that
shows he cares.
[Heero stares back with pleading eyes.]
[Duo hugs him tightly.]
-Nothing's true and nothing's right-
[Bandaging Heero's wounds in the room he shares with Duo.]
"Nice job Yuy," says Wufei sarcastically. "Sure you completed the mission,
but what about the number of casualties?! What the hell were you thinking?!"
[Duo pipes up, in defense of friend and kibioto.]
"It's not his fucking fault, okay?! They didn't evacuate like they were
told!"
-So let me be alone tonight-
[In Heero and Duo's room.]
//AUGH!! I can't take this. //
"Leave, both of you!"
"But…" said Duo, pleading with Heero.
"Now!" was the reply.
//I think that daggers thrown in Wufei's direction would be quite nice...
//
[Duo glares at Wufei. It's just as icy as the Heero-Yuy-Death-Glare.]
-You can't change the way I am-
[Downstairs. Lots of arguing coming from Wufei and Duo.]
" Do you two ever stop?" asked Trowa, masaging his temples.
//If they don't quit soon, I'll have to kill them.//
[In Heero and Duo's room, Heero is typing away at his laptop.]
//He's so wonderful. A person like me doesn't deserve something like that.
Especially after what I did today. //
< < //Shut Up!! Both of you! I can't get peace and quite anywhere. Not even in my
own head! // -Are you strong enough to be my man? - KNOCK! KNOCK! "Hello~o," said Duo as he walked in. [He flopped down on his bed.] "So, watch'a up to?" "…" "Really," replied Duo sarcastically. [He walked over to the laptop and placed a hand on Heero's shoulder.] "Come on. Dinner's ready." -Lie to me- -I promise I'll believe- Dinner was eventful as usual. It was cooked by Quatre and Trowa, so we all
knew it was most-likely edible. Duo and Wufei argued between bites, while the
rest of us watched on in (almost) silence. There was, of course, muffled
laughter every once and a while because of something said or done. (Or both for
that matter.) -Lie to me- -But please don't leave- [Heero is back, typing away. Duo walks in.] "You can't hide forever just because of an event that happened during some
stupid, fucking war. It wasn't even your fault," Duo said. "The war will end, Heero. It will end and everything will go back to normal.
//a pause// Once the war ends," he said in quieter tones. "We…" [Heero silenced him. The look in his eyes said it all.] -I have a face I cannot show- After dinner, we sat a while on the ledge at the window, letting the
moonbeams wash over us as we cuddled; actually it was Duo doing the cuddling. I
decided it was time for bed. Duo got up reluctantly yet without much
complaining. We stripped down to our boxers and got into bed. -I make the rules up as I go- [Outside their room, Wufei walks up.] "Hey, you two. It's time for bed," he says with his normal impatience. "…" He opens the door as he says,"Hey! Don't you ever…" [Wufei gets a nose bleed and hurries out of the room as quickly as
possible.] "Sorry. We'll try to keep it down a bit," Duo says, smiling hugely. [Heero just lays there…eyes closed and smiling contentedly.] -Just try and love me if you can- [Wufei is standing outside the closed door.] //A nosebleed. Just freaking great! I'm in my white boxers too! // [More grumbles from Wufei as he trys to get his nose bleed under
control.] // Oh, wonderful! They're still just as noisy!! AUGH!! I give up! // [He storms off, head tilted back and nose pinched.] -Are you man enough to be my man? - "Oh…god! Do that again!" " Okay with me," answered Duo in a devilish tone. -When I've shown you that I just don't care- [Next day. Heero is trying to pretend that last night didn't happen.] //AUGH! He can be so annoying. // [Duo bounces by, music blaring, singing along.] //I have to admit he's really quite a good singer. And very sexy when he does
this. // < " Duo no baka. What the hell are you listening to?" "What? I can't hear you!"
he replied with a large grin. //Actually, I think I will…for now. // -When I'm throwing punches in the air- [The next day. Duo and Heero are on another 1 day, 2 man mission.] [A screen pops up in the Wing Zero.] "Heero! Don't self-destruct! It wont' do anything useful, except have minus
one Gundam and pilot for Oz!" yells Duo. He throws in an extra heavy duty pouty
face with his request. //Damn! Why does he keep trying to throw his life away? Doesn't he realize
what he means….to me? // [Heero nods slightly in acknowledgment.] -When I'm broken down and cannot stand- [Back at the safehouse in Heero and Duo's room.] "Geez, man! You scared me there. I thought you were going to self-destruct!"
said Duo while getting out his very large first aid kit. [He cringed as Heero set his own arm.] "Man, how can you do that?" Duo said as he got out a bandage. "Hn. Baka. You know it's not as bad as it looks." [Heero starts bandaging.] "Oi! You're doing it wrong! Here, le' me do it," said Duo, while taking the
bandages from Heero. -Will you be strong enough to be my man? - [Still tending wounds.] "Do you have any other wounds?" asked Duo w/ concern. "Hn." "Seriously!" "Baka." "Thank you. Now then, do you?" [A pause.] < "Well?" Duo asked expectantly. //Got it!! I know what I'll do. Brilliant plan! I'll tell him I have a cut on
my hip and then……// -Lie to me- -I promise I'll believe- [Later. Still in their bedroom. This time, all the lights are off.] "That…was a dirty trick…you pulled…earlier," mused Duo between kisses. "Hn." [A pause.] "HEEERROOO!!!" "Hn." [A devilish smile curves his lips.] [Another pause.] "Ai Shiteiru, Duo." [Yet another pause.] " I must be dreaming. Somebody pinch me!" "Okay." [Heero pinched Duo.] "Ouch…Nope. I'm wide awake." [Another shower of kisses rains down on Heero.] "Are you feeling okay Hee-chan?" "Yes…is it that unbelievable?" "Well…" -Lie to me- -But please don't leave- [The next morning. Wufei, Quatre, and Trowa are outside Duo and Heero's
room.] KNOCK! KNOCK! "Hello? Duo? Heero? Are you guys in there?" asked Quatre. "Mmh." "We know you're in there. What the hell are you two doing?!" asked Wufei,
rather grumpy from recent lack of sleep. "Mmh. Go…away." It was distinctly Duo's voice. [Then, out of the blue, they heard giggles.] "Duo? Heero? Is everything alright?" Quatre asked with mounting concern. "I thought you were told to go away." This time it was Heero's voice. "Yuy! Maxwell! Open the door this instant!" yelled Wufei. [More muffled noises come from the bedroom followed by a fit of giggles.] "What on earth are they…" Quatre was interrupted by a loud thud. ~ This discussion could be heard through the door ~ "I think we fell off the bed." "Good deduction Sherlock." "Come on. Don't be so sarcastic!" "Lets get back on the bed and attempt to continue this discussion." " 'K! Now then. As you were saying…" [He was cut off and another fit of giggles insued.] " I thought I said to open the door!" yelled Wufei…again. "If you truly want to you can open it, but I don't recommend," replied Duo,
who, immediately after, was laughing again. "Heero? Duo?" said Quatre as he cautiously opened the door. "It's so damn dark in here I can't see a thing!" growled Wufei as he groped
for the light switch. [More muffled sounds came from Heero and Duo's direction.] "Ah, Ha! I found it!" said Wufei and he turned on the light. -Don't ever leave- [Duo and Heero were on the far bed, amid a pile of rumpled sheets. Strewn
across the room was clothing of many assorted types.] "So nice of you to drop by," said Duo, moving closer to Heero. "Oh, God!" said Wufei, getting a nosebleed. Duo glomped Heero and said, "Oh, look, Heero! They've come to join us!!" Then
all it took was a kiss on Heero's cheek and a few well placed hands to get Wufei
to pass out. ~OWARI~
