Shinigami's Song Part 15
Duo whistled appreciatively as he pulled into the garage of the modest sate Relena lent them. ~Modest my ass.~ "This is what she calls modest??!"
Duo and Heero walked through the ornate French doors and gaped at the tasteful yet obviously expensive furniture. Well, Duo gaped; Heero's eyes just widened slightly... but he's Heero so it counts for something.
"Duo, I'm going to check out the house and grounds. I'll be back in... 15 minutes." Heero was gone leaving Duo standing alone in the doorway of the estate- oh forget it! It's a mansion.
He wandered around a bit, careful not to touch anything, until he arrived at his destination... where else but the kitchen? Posted on the door of the refrigerator was a paper. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be a map of the house and its surrounding lands. Duo took special note of the lake in the back yard.
"Oh shit! I forgot to call Vinny! He's probably going ape shit by now!" Duo rushed over to the phone and dialled his manager's house.
"Hello?"
"Vinny! It's Duo!"
"DUO?! Oh my god! Where have you been? I've been going out of my mind!"
"Sheesh calm down Vinny!! I'm fine! It's just that with everything that's been happening, Heero thought it'd be best for me to lay low for a while."
"Heero?"
"Yeah that guy who was with me in the studio? He's my bodyguard..." Duo considered telling Vinny the truth, but he knew the blonde had a small crush on him... and he didn't want to hurt his friend.
"Oh... so I guess telling me where you are is out of the question, huh?"
"You got it... sorry man."
"Oh no! It's ok... I just want you to be ok and safe! I got too much money invested in you to lose you now!"
Duo laughed. "I knew it! You're only looking out for your wallet!"
"You know it!"
"Listen Vinny, I gotta go. I just wanted to tell you I was ok, and you pass it along to everyone else all right?"
"You got it man."
"Thanks."
Duo hung up, content he hadn't divulged his location- even to his friend. Unfortunately, the damage was already done. Somewhere a red light blinked. A signal that tapping a phone paid off and now Duo Maxwell's whereabouts were only the push of a button away.
~*~
Heero was pleased overall with the location. The only cover was a sparse amount of trees surrounding the artificial lake in the backyard. But they were approximately a hundred yards from the house, once they were cleared anyone would be easy picking with a rifle... or a pistol for that matter.
Heero was also pleased that Relena's 'killer security system' was no hyperbole. It consisted of motion, sound, and touch sensors at every entrance and window of the house, there were also spot lights that illuminated the entire yard, front and back.
He smiled contentedly. The place was a veritable fortress... now to turn everything on and find Duo... and turn him on too.
"Ninmu Ryoukai."
~*~
Duo grinned at his reflection in the mirror. He was shirtless, wearing only an indecently short and tight pair of denim shorts. His hair was pulled up into a high ponytail- the easier to let it down. He sun two towels over his arm and walked out of the bedroom with his little discovery hidden in his hand... a brand new tube of KY. When the Queen of the World says a place is fully stocked, it's fully stocked!
He walked out into the living room just in time to see Heero approaching the house from the direction of the lake. ~Target acquired. Seek and seduce.~
~*~
Heero took one look at the Duo that emerged from the house, and one thought stuck in his mind as his half dressed koi strutted up to him. ~Here comes trouble.~
The violet eyed beauty stopped mere inches from him. "Hee-chan, I'm hot." Duo's voice was husky yet petulant... undeniably sexy. "I'm going swimming! Will you come with me?"
The invitation and innuendo hung in the air before Heero could think of a reply. "I- I don't have a swimsuit."
Duo's smile lit up his whole face. "That's ok Hee-chan!" He skipped past Heero, only pausing to murmur, "Neither do I." in his ear before bounding down to the lake.
~I will not run!~ Heero repeated over and over in his head as he slowly followed Duo back to the lake. But then the bottom that looked like it had been poured into those jeans got to him and Heero took off after Duo at full speed.
~*~
Duo skipped happily down to the man made lake and dug his toes in the sandy bank. ~Convenient.~
He could almost hear Heero's control snap as he bent to deposit the towels and his surprise on the sand. Very deliberately, Duo unbuttoned the tight jean shorts and slid them off his body. His ass was on perfect display to Heero, and he knew it.
As if on cue, Duo heard Heero pick up his pace and flat out run to catch up to him.
Still teasing, he acted as if he hadn't heard Heero's advance, and began wading into the clear water of the lake. He reached up and pulled the and out of his hair, setting it free to drift on the water. Duo glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Heero standing at the edge of the water pulling off his shirt. Smirking triumphantly, Duo dove beneath the surface and swam a bit back toward shore.
~*~
Heero waded naked into the small lake and looked for a sign of Duo. He'd seen him slip under the surface... but where did he swim to?
A second later Duo surfaced only a few feet from Heero. His bangs dripped down into his face so Duo had to wipe the water away before he could open his eyes. When he did, Heero stared. ~He looks like some mythical creature- a water sprite... or siren. And those siren's eyes shone with love and humor. And no surprise.
Heero walked forward and wrapped his arms around his siren. "You knew I would follow, didn't you?"
TBC...
