Holiday from Hell Part 11
Sibling Love
The household turned back to normal and it was almost as if the argument between Duo and Solo hadn't taken place. However Heero noticed the way Solo was watching Duo, they had gone swimming a couple of days after the argument and Heero had seen Solo watching them from the kitchen window. Heero had pointed it out to Duo who had shrugged at Heero before diving underwater dragging Heero with him and he gave Heero a soul and spit swapping kiss.
"There's a party tomorrow night." Quatre's voice yelled across the lake and the two boys resurfaced and faced him.
"Come in!" Duo yelled. "The water's lovely!"
Quatre shook his head and Duo swam over to the bank splashing water in Heero's face as he dived under and resurfaced by Quatre's feet.
Heero followed at a slowly pace and was graced by a smile when he finally reached them.
"Are you both coming?"
"Yes, it's a party of course I'm coming."
"Heero?"
"If Duo is then so am I."
"We have adults at Treize's cabin and youngest at my family's cabin."
"And what's our cabin? Make out point?"
"Somethin' like that!"
"Wufei here yet?"
"Did someone ask for me?" A Chinese boy appeared beside Quatre dressed in skintight swimming trunks.
"Shit could you get them any tighter Wu?"
Wufei blushed.
"Nice package."
The other three boys all turned to look at Heero with shocked looks on their faces and raised eyebrows.
"What?" Heero asked innocently.
"You've been hanging with Duo way too much!" Quatre commented as Wufei dived into the water.
"And why are you looking at Wufei's package? Ain't I good enough any more?!"
Heero blushed red and began to mutter about how he was just joking before he realised that Duo was laughing at him and the two began a water fight which ended up with Quatre getting soaking wet and falling in.

The day passed quickly and that evening the adults went out for dinner leaving Heero, Duo and Relena to baby sit.
Heero offered to take Jane to bed and Relena sat next to Duo.
"Are you and Dad ok now?"
Duo looked up from the book he was reading and gave Relena a smile and put the book down, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"I don't think we'll ever be the same again." Duo whispered into her hair and Relena nuzzled deeper into her brother's embrace.
"It seems such a stupid thing to fight about."
Duo had been careful at school, everyone had understood his position of being rich and gay and all made a point of not telling Relena. Duo was suddenly regretting not telling his twin that small fact about himself, but then telling her now would only get her guessing at the true depths of his and Heero's relationship. "You don't know the half of it Lena."
She turned her violet eyes onto Duo's. "What is the other half?"
"It's a long, long story and I ain't going to tell it."
Relena looked at her hand that was being held in Duo's.
"We're drifting apart." Relena said softly.
Duo squeezed her hand tightly and placed a soft kiss into her blond hair.
"We don't talk any more. Remember when we were kids?"
Duo chuckled. "Fond memories of carefree days."
"You beat Heero up, we were 8 and you claimed that he was looking at me in a wrong sort of way."
"Ah yes, you were running around the swimming pool in the back naked when the Yuys arrived. I did what any older brother would do."
"We'll be 17 in a few days." Relena said.
"Heero's birthday is on Sunday and ours is on the Wednesday." Duo said.
"2 more months, can you stand him?"
"I can survive. For as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive!" Duo started to sing.
"I got all my life to live and I got all my love to give, I will survive!" Relena finished.
Duo laughed but sobered quickly as he saw Heero walk pass into the kitchen.
"Relena promise me one thing?"
Relena sat up and look at her brother. "What?"
"No matter what happens between me and Dad..." Duo took both her hands in his. "We'll always be together and stay in touch."
"Oh Duo, where did this come from? We'll always be a family, no matter what!"
Relena threw herself into Duo's arms and Duo hugged her fiercely to his chest.
"I love you Duo." Relena said smiling.
"Yeah, I love you too Sis."
"Together forever?" Relena asked.
Duo grinned, Relena had invented this little saying at the age of 4 when she had to go to a different school to Duo.
"Longer than forever." Duo whispered back.
