Love Potion Epilogue
Duo stirred, noticing something strange. Like the arm around his waist. Very, very nice, but strange nonetheless. Waitaminute...a slow grin worked over his face. Helena wasn’t lying...he was guy again!
Duo giggled softly, and plastered himself to the strong, warm body beside him, not bothering to find out who it was first.
"Ohayo."
The monotonous, nasal voice stopped him mid-snuggle, and he pulled back from the comforting warmth reluctantly. What he saw made his heart skip a beat.
"Heero."
The Japanese boy didn’t look angry, or upset even. Just sleepy. And he made no move to removed the arm draped possessively over Duo.
"Heero..." he said again.
Said boy scowled. "Quit that. You sound like Relena."
"Are you OK with--"
Instead of answering him, Heero grabbed the gold cross from where Duo had tossed it on the bedside stand the night before, as well as a penknife from the drawer. Wordlessly, he began cutting into the medal. When done, he dangled it in front of his lover’s face for him to see.
‘HY+DM’ stood out proudly, accompanied by the ‘01+02’ on the opposite side.
Duo stared, and Heero grunted, pulling him close and burying his nose in the sweet-smelling chestnut locks.
"Hee--"
"Quiet. There’s still a few hours before the rest of the house wakes up and create chaos. And I’m tired."
Duo grinned, happily leaning into Heero’s embrace and tucking his head under the other’s chin.
Heero’s voice was muffled, but thoughtful. “I wonder if any changes made to your...er, female body stayed with you as a male...?”
“What does that mean?”
Heero looked at him intently. “It would be most distressing if you got pregnant as you are...”
Duo’s eyes went VERY wide.

A dark figure watched the mirror in front of her, smiling at the two boys on the bed. Another taller figure came up behind her, deep voice resonating through the chamber.
"Helen, our Duo is happy now."
The woman looked up tearfully, revealing a pretty face framed by the black cloth of a nun’s outfit. "Yes Father, he is."
"And God will make sure that he always is."
"Although I must admit, for a while, I was having doubts on whether Duo would really take the potion or not."
Father Maxwell chuckled. "You played your part convincingly...‘Helena’."
Sister Helen had on a thoughtful expression. "What was it that Heero says?"
"Ninmu kanryou," they chorused.
OWARI
Yup, it was Sister Helen all along, wantin’ to help her poor Duo darling with his lovelife.
*glares at Nuriko* See? I CAN finish a multi-part. First time in my life, but that’s alright.
