Summer's Solstice Part 6
One month had passed since that night. The happiest in both pilots' young lives. But the life of a Gundam pilot is nothing if not erratic and they found themselves hurrying to a safe house once again. This time to meet with the other three pilots for a mission that would require the expertise of all five boys.
Duo groaned as he opened the door to the safe house. It was almost sun set and he had been worried that they might not reach shelter in time before he jumped Hee-chan. Seeing his lover's smirk he growled.
"You're mean Hee-chan!"
Cocking his eyebrow Heero just grabbed Duo's braid and tugged him gently toward the stairs.
The next morning Trowa was the first one to notice Duo's strange behavior. Between mouthfuls he was sighing blissfully at his leaning tower of pancakes.
"What is it Maxwell?" Wufei demanded unable to concentrate on the paper when Duo was acting so quiet. Too quiet.
"Kisama! What did you do? Put salt in my coffee? Rocks in my pillow? Replace Nataku's wax with Crisco again?"
"No."
Quatre spoke up next. "Um Duo? You hate mornings."
"No I don't, I'm just kinda tired."
"From what? We didn't even start the mission yet." Wufei protested.
Duo sighed again his smile growing wider. "Mmmm... six times."
Everyone exchanged puzzled glances until the reply came from the door way.
"Seven."
Heero Yuy had finally joined the group. Four jaws dropped as he walked in the room wearing black leather hip huggers and an unbuttoned loose black silk displaying his chiseled chest to perfection. Duo noticed the love bites marking the peach toned skin with satisfaction Heero's only ornament was the gold chain which held a fragile gold cross the guys looked back at Duo noticing he wasn't wearing his cross and were putting two and two together when Duo jumped up started buttoning Heero's shirt giving the others an excellent facsimile of the death glare.
"Mine."
Heero just rolled his eyes used to Duo's possessive behavior. "Duo-koi did you remember to tell them?"
"Tell them what?"
"What we agreed on this morning."
"Oh! Gomen Heero. I forgot. Um, Heero and I have this kind of problem. We can't be separated come nightfall."
"Really?" Wufei said sarcastically and Duo actually blushed.
"Baka" Heero muttered.
"Due to certain biological circumstances beyond our control, if Duo and I are separated once the sun has set were both incapacitated with a debilitating amount of pain."
"What happened?" Quatre asked sensing the truth in Heero's words.
"Someone couldn't leave well enough alone."
"Hey! I'm glad I went through that door, and so are you Hee-chan."
With a positively bone melting smile Heero muttered "yeah."
"That explains nothing," Wufei muttered and Heero glanced at Duo then began. "Well it all has to do with the fact that I'm only half human..."
