notes & disclaimers: don't own gundam. duh. don't own the song. duh. but if anyone cares, it's savage garden's. they really have the best songs in the world for fics. almost every one is a fic waiting to happen or is already one. oh yeah, and these thingies < > mean hee-chan's singing song lyrics. um.... i think that's it.
duo hurried up the steps of the pilots' latest safehouse after hiding his gundam along w/ the others. this last mission had been dragged out way too long and turned out to be pretty useless in his opinion. but what did the doctors care about that? all he wanted now was to see heero and make sure he was still in one piece. w/ his suicidal tendencies and after being separated for as long as they had, there was no telling what his koi might have ended up doing to himself.
the american reached for the door and suddenly noticed a note stuck to the handle w/ his name on it. frowning, he opened it and tried to read the familiar writing in the fading light.
duo~ welcome back. i have a surprise for you but in order to get it you have to follow these instructions exactly. when you come in go straight to the den and nowhere else. leave all the lights off. just sit on the couch and wait for me. and don't say anything until you're told to. ~heero
duo stared at the note in confusion. what the hell was heero planning? this wasn't like him at all. shrugging, he stuffed the paper in his pocket and made his way into the house. only one way to find out.
as soon as the braided boy had dropped onto the den's couch, the lights went part way on, creating a soft glow.
duo's eyes widened as heero stepped in front of him. the wing pilot was dressed in black jeans and a dark blue shirt that lay open against his chest and accented his eyes perfectly. those eyes glinted w/ secret laughter, and a small smirk pulled at the corners of his mouth. he leaned forward until his nose was just a few centimeters from duo's, a hand resting lightly on each leg, and just stared at him.
duo began to fidgeting under his lover's critical gaze. this was definitely out of character for the stoic boy. "uh.... hee-"
"shhh." heero placed a gentle finger on the pouty lips, smirk growing. " you do want your surprise, ne duo-kun?"
completely at a loss for words even if he had wanted to speak, duo could only nod.
heero leaned in the last few centimeters, leaving him a tender kiss before pulling back slowly and straightening up. "then enjoy your show, duo."
having cleared out the area in front of the couch earlier, heero backed towards the far wall to turn on the cd player there. duo was absolutely stunned as he knelt in front of him, taking his pale, slender hands into his own rougher ones and softly began singing.
<never want to fly / never want to leave / never want to say what you mean to me / never want to run / frightened to believe / you're the best thing about me>
immediately the music picked up tempo, and heero stood, spinning up and away towards the middle of the floor. slowly, moving w/ every bit of sexuality and passion duo had ever taught him, he slid back over to the american. he couldn't help grinning at the other boy's open mouth and huge eyes.
<sometimes i feel like this is only chemistry / stuck in a maze searching for a way to / shut down, turn around, feel the ground beneath me>
straddling duo's lap, heero pressed their chests together and ran his tongue over his ear.
<you're so close, where do you end? where do i begin?>
duo breathed in sharply at the warmth of the japanese boy's body and ragged breath against his skin. but just as quickly as it had come, the heat retreated, and heero stood before him again, still moving in a way the captivated his eyes and singing in a way that captured his heart.
<always pushing and pulling / sometimes sanity takes vacation time on me / i' m in a daze stumbling bewildered / north of gravity, head up in the stratosphere / you and i roller coaster riding love>
dropping a quick kiss on his nose, heero cupped his love's face in his hands and smiled.
<you're the center of adrenaline / and i'm beginning to understand>
heero pulled duo's braid over his shoulder, unbinding it and running his fingers through the chestnut strands and down his chest. his fingertips left electrical shocks everywhere they touched. he nuzzled the american's nose w/ his own, keeping their mouths only inches apart as he continued singing.
<never want to fly / never want to leave / never want to say what you mean to me / never want to run / frightened to believe / you're the best thing about me>
duo couldn't believe his lover could ever do something this sweet and sensual. and the look in heero's eyes told him he meant every word.
<walk on broken glass, make my way through fire / these are the things i would do for your love / farewell peace of mind, kiss goodbye to reason / the impossible occurs each day>
finally heero just jumped the long-haired beauty, pinning him beneath him on the couch and wearing a grin to rival any of duo's own.
<this intoxication thrills me / i only pray it doesn't kill me>
fingers slid down his arms and slowly up under his shirt, making duo moan in pleasure at the caress. he reached up to return the favor, but heero batted his hands down, wanting him only to listen and feel.
<never want to fly / never want to leave / never want to say what you mean to me / never want to run / frightened to believe / you're the best thing about me / you're the center of adrenaline / and i'm beginning to understand>
cobalt locked w/ violet, each reading the love in the other. heero crushed his lips against duo's in a deep kiss, whispering the last few lines btwn them.
<what if you're the best thing about me? / you could be the best thing about me / you're the best thing about me>
the music played on by itself as the two boys' mouths moved together almost desperately. when they finally broke for air, duo stared up at his own personal angel in amazement. "holy shit..."
heero smiled and trailed a finger down his pale cheek gently. "surprise. welcome back, koi. you like?"
"hell yeah. and definitely a surprise, but a damn good one."
"i thought so."
"i'm not complaining by a long shot, but what was it for?"
"because i love you and you are."
a look of bewilderment crossed duo's face. "am what?"
"the best thing about me."
