Heero: I want to revisit something you said previously. If you were to put together a draft of people you would date, would I at least be on it?

Duo: I mean, how many slots do I have?

Heero: …One.

Duo: …No.

Heero: Two.

Duo: Wh-What are you asking me right now?

Febuwhump Day 2: holding back tears

“Was that the Princess?” Duo asked, sitting up in their bed. His hair tumbled in loose waves around his shoulders from when Heero had pulled it loose from its braid earlier that night.

”Yeah,” Heero responded from the bedroom doorway, go bag already in hand. “She asked if I could accompany her on her peace tour in L3.”

”Do you have to go?” Duo asked, already knowing what Heero’s answer was going to be. “You’re not her Head of Security anymore.”

”We’ve talked about this so many times, Duo,” Heero chastised. “I don’t know why you can’t seem to understand. I told her that I would always be there for her if she needed me. Something about this tour has her uneasy, so she asked if I could come along, just to be safe.”

“But—” Duo started to protest.

”No!” Heero said forcefully. “I don’t want to hear it! We’ve had this same discussion too many times. I’m tired of it. I need to go. She’s waiting for me.”

Duo bit his lip at Heero’s tone, eyes starting to prickle. “How long will you be?” He asked, swallowing past the lump in his throat.

”About three weeks,” Heero said before sighing tiredly. “Look, I’m sorry for yelling. But seriously, we can’t be having this same argument every time she requests my presence. It’s just three weeks. I’ll be back before you know it.”

Three weeks. So he would be gone during the anniversary of the Maxwell Church. So Duo would be alone when the nightmares of smoke and screams and burning flesh reared their heads as they did like clockwork every year.

”I need to go,” Heero repeated. “I’ll see you soon. I love you.”

”I love you, too,” Duo said softly. He remained sitting in the bed as he listened to the sounds of Heero getting ready and walking out the door.

“You’re there when Relena needs you,” Duo said into the silence of the empty apartment once he was alone yet again, holding back his tears. “But where are you when I need you?”

“Which one of you holds the umbrella?”

Duo stopped short, clearly caught off guard by his walking companion.

Noin met his confusion with a smile. “You know,” she said casually, crossing her arms over her uniformed chest, “when you're walking together, which one of you holds the umbrella?

Duo had gone to Noin for relationship advice, but now that she was talking in riddles, he wasn't sure it had been a good idea.

“I dunno,” he replied, stuffing his hands into his jacket pockets with a frown, “it doesn't really rain a lot on the colonies…”

He considered the question for a moment then shrugged and replied, “and when it does we don't use an umbrella.”

Noin smirked and rolled her eyes. “Of course that would be the case for you two. Okay, fine, how about this instead. When you're taking cover from incoming enemy fire, who is the one to break cover and attack the enemy first?”

Duo scrunched his nose and scowled. “What kinda questions are these, huh?”

“Well, if Heero does love you, he'd protect you at all costs. From the rain… from enemy fire,” she replied casually. A buzzing from her pocket ended their conversation. She answered it, gave him a wink then began to walk away.

"Do you see him?" Heero's voice came as a murmur from above Duo's head. "Your two o'clock, standing in the doorway to that bar..."

Duo squinted harder through the scope of his sniper rifle, his finger lightly rested on the trigger.

"Yeah, I see him. He's got some goons with him," he muttered before taking a steadying breath, his chest expanding slowly against the itchy grass. He had been sprawled out prone on a hilltop for hours waiting for their target to show his face.

"Do ya think he's really got a bomb?" Duo asked without looking up.

"It's hard to tell," Heero replied from somewhere to his left.

Duo felt a faint tap on the top of his baseball cap and tried to ignore it. Another touched his shoulder, then the back of his boot. Through the scope he could see blurred streaks racing down his line of sight.

It was starting to rain.

A minute later a loud whoomp sounded over his head. Startled, he tore his gaze from the lens of his scope and looked up just in time to see Heero kneel beside him, an umbrella in hand.

Heero was holding it out at arm's length, using it to shield Duo's body instead of his own. In his other hand was his pistol, locked and loaded, gripped and ready.

Duo snorted and turned his attention back to his scope.

"Heh, so that's how it is, huh?" He murmured, amused.

"How what is?" Heero asked.

Duo grinned and tightened his grip on his rifle.

[undercover at a boarding school]

Relena: Do you know that there’s a rumor going around about you two?

Heero: What?

Duo: Oh, that one about how we’re gay for each other? Listen, we’re not but if there was a guy I’d date it would be Heero.

Heero: …

Relena: How do you feel about that, Heero?

Heero: …it’s not helping with the rumors.

Relena: I think that kiss you guys shared at my birthday party isn’t helping with the rumors.

Duo: Yeah, I just hate that he didn’t give me enough tongue!

Heero: Duo.

Day 8 - “are we happy?”

“Are we happy?”

Heero turned his head to look at Duo in surprise. Duo was studiously staring straight at the ceiling, avoiding meeting Heero’s gaze.

”Why would you ask that?” Heero turned onto his side on the bed so that he could look at Duo more comfortably. “Aren’t you happy?”

”Yeah,” Duo responded, “I think so. Maybe. I don’t know.” His face pinched in frustration.

”What’s wrong?” Heero looked at Duo in concern. Duo had seemed down lately, but Heero hadn’t been sure how to bring it up.

”I don’t know.” Duo blinked rapidly, his eyes glossy. “Everything has been feeling so good, so right… This is usually about the time that shit hits the fan. I guess I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop.”

”I’m not going anywhere.” Heero rolled over on top of Duo, caging him in between his forearms and forcing him to make eye contact with him. “I will always be with you. Nothing can tear me away from you. Not even death. I will haunt you.”

Duo snorted softly, but smiled at Heero tremulously. “You’d better.” He reached up to cup the side of Heero’s face. His smile faded into a look of seriousness. “I wouldn’t be able to bear it if I couldn’t see you anymore.”

Duo deserved the best version of him and Heero was not that person – not by a longshot.

Heero knew it was going to be difficult to explain it without hurting Duo’s feelings, but Heero had already done that by hastily declining Duo’s marriage proposal. The rest of whatever Heero was going to say to clear things up would have to wait until Duo’s wounded pride and anger dissipated and was speaking to him again.

It might take days, perhaps weeks for that to happen, but Heero was not going anywhere, and he knew for certain that Duo knew it too.
