Two Flirting Doves Part 11
"Relena's looking hot."
"I'll take that as a compliment."
They watched as she toured the floor in a slim dark blue dress, performing the hostess duties with her typical grace.
"No, really," Duo continued. "If you ever get bored of Preventers work, you've obviously got a bright future ahead of you as a personal trainer."
"I'd work by referral only."
"I'd totally refer you."
"Would you use my services yourself?"
"Are you kidding? With this bod?" Duo gestured at himself as suggestively as he dared in a public formal setting. "Of course I don't need your services. Are you saying you don't think I look hot?"
"I thought Relena looked beautiful before I started working with her."
"Over the protests of her foolish but well-intentioned husband. How did you sell him on the idea?"
"It was an issue of Relena's self-confidence. Plus, I want her able to either defend herself or run away in case something comes up. Both will be easier now, which has less to do with baby fat and more to do with strength and stamina training. Losing the baby fat was a nice side effect."
Duo nodded sagely. "Yeah, that'd do it. Without even a single smudging of the truth, too, far as you're concerned."
"I was glad she handed me the excuse, honestly."
"I'm sure you were." Duo watched the crowd for a few seconds before he turned back to Heero. "Wait, so are you implying that you do think I look hot, right now, as is?"
Heero remained silent for a moment. "'Hot' is not a term I would normally use to describe someone's appearance."
"Yeah, but you were implying, which means it doesn't matter what particular word I used. It's the gist of things that matter."
"Of course I think you look fine as is."
"No, you implied more than 'fine', buddy-boy. Unless you mean like, 'damn, he looks fine.'"
"That is also not a phrase I would normally use."
Duo made a sound of amusement. "Fine. Whatever. I don't think your services could improve much on this, though."
Heero shrugged slightly. "Who can say?"
"Whoa, hey. Them's fightin' words."
He took his eyes off the floor. "I'm just saying... I'd probably need to take a better look at what's under that suit to make an accurate assessment."
Duo's lips took on a lopsided tilt. "Ah. I see. I'd be happy to prove to you that I'm not in need of your... trainer services." He paused. "Wait, are you implying you checked Lena out before agreeing to work with her?"
Heero snorted and turned his attention back to people-watching.
