Shi-chan: Back for more fun!
Trowa: Hooray.
Duo: Gee, we figured you didn't have time for 'lil ol' us anymore...
Shi-chan: Nani?
Duo: Yeah. Don't think we didn't see you drawing all those Trigun fanarts last night.
Shi-chan: .....
Duo: Mmmmm. Vash....
Heero: !
Shi-chan: !
Duo: Uh....
Duo-Babe
Part 4
~By Shimegami-chan
Duo suddenly came to his senses when he realized that Heero was lying on top of him, one hand halfway down Duo's skirt, the other holding his left hand and staring at the ring. "Deux..."
"Oh. God! Heero!" Duo snapped to full alertness and stared into the colbalt-blue eyes.
Heero was rubbing his thumb across the gold ring on Duo's left hand. "Deux, is this a promise ring?"
Duo was unsure of what to say. "Ano..."
Heero looked disappointed. "I understand." He slowly got to his feet and went to the door.
"Heero, wait!" Duo, you idiot! Don't blow this!
"Nani?" Heero cast one last glance over his shoulder.
"It's...it's nothing." Duo smoothed his rumpled skirt and stared at the bed. There was a barely audible click as the Wing pilot left the room.
"You moron! What happened there?!" he swore to himself. "You nearly blew the mission! What the hell were you thinking? Shit!" He stripped off his uniform and put on his comfortable black shirt and pants before settling down at his laptop.
Dr. J,
How much longer?
~Maxwell
"Daaaaamn." Aren't I supposed to be leading him on? What is the point of this mission? To show me how fickle Heero is? To convince me to break it off with him so Dr. J'll have his 'perfect soldier' back? I'm not having any part in it.
You'd better go after him.
(OOC: Shimegami: Hell yeah, this fic can't go on much longer... IC:)
Duo mechanically put the school uniform on once and for all. Okay, Heero. I'm giving this one more shot. You blow it, you and I are finished. Leaving his customary clothes on a chair--hopefully he'd be needing them again very soon--Duo removed the ring he had been planning to give to Heero from its hiding spot and placed it on his own right-hand ring finger.
The chestnut-haired pilot closed the door to his room and headed down the hall.
------------
At the next building, Duo was forced to ask directions to Heero's room from several burly-looking boys standing on its steps. The three less-than-tasteful students tried to forcibly persuade Duo to get to know them a little better, but Duo quickly dispached of them with a good left hook and less-than-usual anger management.
At Heero's room, Duo knocked softly before quietly pushing open the door. "Heero-kun?"
The taller boy was busily typing on his laptop. He didn't even turn around. "What do you want?"
"It's Deux, Heero-kun. I came to talk to you."
"I'm busy."
Shit. Duo fought to keep the usual playful tone out of his voice. "What'cha doin'?"
"Nothing. Go away."
"But Heero...did I do something to make you mad?" Duo closed the door and approached Heero, who slammed his laptop shut. Eep.
"No. I did."
Duo tried his best to look helpless and lost. "But..."
The lithe pilot got to his feet and walked slowly over to Duo, his bangs shadowing the ice-blue eyes. "Deux..."
Seduce. The mission. Duo took the other boy's face in his hands and pulled it to him. He was finding it awfully hard to control the euphoria that washed over him when Heero returned the kiss. Duo tried to lead Heero over to the rumpled bed. Finish what you started, end it all. Your test starts right now.
"Deux." This time Duo was on top of him, running slim fingers along his abdomen, nipping at his ears. "Deux, I can't."
Really?!? "What?"
"I can't do this. It's not right." He touched the ring on her right hand.
"But..." I don't think so, pal. Duo slipped the ring off his finger and put it on Heero's instead. "All I want is you."
"Deux...I can't...there's someone else..."
Duo's heart skipped a beat. "Someone....else?"
Heero removed the ring and held it tightly in his fist. "I'm already involved with someone."
Duo nearly fainted with relief. "Aa...I see..."
Heero lifted a hand to put the golden band back where it belonged, but Duo's own ring was in the way. "Nani? Two of them?"
"One's yours, Heero. You'll see." Duo ran shaking fingers through Heero's brown hair.
The blue-eyed boy inspected the ring carefully. "Why would you--" he caught sight of the inscription inside. "Duo Maxwell."
"Oh, Heero." Duo finally let his voice slip back into the baritone range. "Yokata. I'm so glad."
Poor Heero finally figured out what was going on. "Duo? My Duo-chan, is that you?"
"Saa, Hee-chan." Duo let tears of relief spill down onto Heero's shirt. "It's me."
"Duo! I don't understand this. What are you doing here? Why didn't you tell me?"
Duo lifted his chestnut head from Heero's chest. "All for the mission, Hee-chan. I couldn't let you blow it. Thank God you didn't blow it."
Heero probably knew something like this would come from Dr. J eventually. Duo clutched his lover's arms and gave him a fierce hug from the awkward position he was lying in before unbuttoning Heero's shirt.
"Is this really mine?" Heero was still holding the golden ring.
"Hai, just like mine." Duo showed him the faint words 'Heero Yuy,' etched inside his own gold band. "Aa, Hee-chan, I missed you..."
"You were right here!" Heero scoffed. "What was that mission about anyway?"
Duo held the other boy tightly. "Let's just say...that it was defintely 'mission accomplished.'"
Owari!
Shi-chan: Geez, abrupt ending. See, that wasn't so bad!
Duo: Vash...
Heero: *thwacks him*
Duo: ITAI! I was kidding!
Quatre: How did we manage to escape even being mentioned in that fic?
Shi-chan: I started to write you into it. Twice. So count your blessings.
Trowa: That's not the attitude you're supposed to have.
Shi-chan: Well then, the two of you well be in plenty of the next fic!
Quatre & Trowa: *groan*
