Just for the record, weird stuff pops up when I travel with my husband. Like a mini-sequel to this fic. Can you tell we got into a conversation about Green Lantern being human and Superman not... and well... what they'd have to cope with... uh yeah....
Conversation
"Here to meet your sweetie for lunch?" Relena looked up from her article and smiled at Duo. He put one hand behind his head and laughed a little.
"You guessed it, ma'am. Is Heero around?"
Relena made a face at him. "Ma'am? I'm not that much older than you!"
"Course not. But you are the Planet's star reporter. I'm just the humble commercial artist. Gotta be respectful and all that."
Relena laughed. "Heero sure knows how to find the good ones! Wish I could find one like you."
Duo winked at her. "I'm sure no man you've got your eye on would turn you down, Miss Relena!"
"No man maybe," Relena's eyes got a bit starry. "Now a superman... they're harder to catch..."
Duo blinked a little. "I didn't realize you had a crush on our local caped crusader."
"That's Batman," Relena shook her head at him. "Don't you keep up with the super news?"
Duo shrugged. "Ah, I'm not too interested in men that wear tights, you know. Just putting it all out there, if you know what I mean..."
Relena's starry look changed to something that looked a lot like lust. "Oh, I do..."
Duo frowned a little. What did she mean by that? He moved away from Relena's desk, not liking the look on her face at all, and headed towards Heero's.
His lover was focusing intently on the keyboard in front of him, his fingers flying over the keys. He looked up when Duo said his name.
"Lunch?" He asked with a smile.
"That's why I came by," Duo cast a look around, making sure the coast was clear, and leaned over Heero's desk. "Did you know Relena has a crush on Superman?"
Much to his surprise, Heero turned faintly red. "Yes."
Duo reached out and wrapped one hand around Heero's tie, the ring on his finger glowing a faint ominous green. "How do you know?"
"Can we talk about this at home?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because something will come up. A bus will fall off a bridge or Relena will get in a helicopter crash and you won't have time to talk about it. It's Quatre's shift right now so we have time."
Heero got to his feet with a sigh. "Let's go talk on the roof."
Duo followed Heero towards the elevators, remembering to give Relena a cheery if slightly forced smile when they passed.
Relena, for her part, wondered if something was wrong with the pair. Usually they were talking and laughing when they headed out for lunch. She hoped it was something mild. Heero had perked up considerably once Duo had come into his life. She was glad Howard had hired the guy. She reminded herself to ask Heero about it later and then grabbed her own lunch. Sometimes if she ate out on the patio she caught a glimpse of Superman flying by...
Once they were safely out on the roof Duo turned on Heero. "When were you going to tell me she had a crush on you?"
Heero reached out and pulled his lover into a hug. "Duo- she doesn't have a crush on me- she has a crush on Superman." He kissed Duo's collarbone hoping he was getting through to his lover. They had talked a long time ago about how their super personas weren't really them- he'd hoped that reminder would help Duo. "I haven't encouraged it. You know I wouldn't. What's set you off like this?"
"She seems to be awfully familiar with your tights."
Heero blinked. "With my... what are you talking about?" Duo huffed into his shoulder without answering. "Duo, I can assure you the woman has not been near my tights."
"You really shouldn't wear tights."
Heero lifted an eyebrow. "Duo- you wear tights."
"It's a unitard."
"Close enough."
"Maybe, but Relena isn't eyeing my tights and imagining the contents thereof."
Heero rolled his eyes. "No, but I'm sure some other people have. Don't you remember what happened to Wufei? That one senator he saved just grabbed him right...you know where. It's one of the job hazards." Heero shook his head as Duo chuckled.
"I know," Duo rubbed the back of his neck. "I just... I guess I wasn't expecting it from her, you know? Not one of our friends..."
"I know," Heero tugged Duo closer. "It freaks me out a little when I save her and she gives me that big-eyed hopeful look. I feel bad for her because I can't tell her the truth."
"I wish we could."
"Someday maybe." Heero smiled. "But you can't be worried that she'll ever steal me away from you. No one could and you know it."
Duo smiled back. "It's cause I'm good in bed aren't I?"
Heero laughed against his lover's throat. He picked Duo up and held him close. "A bit maybe- and because you understand my... limitations there..."
"They aren't limitations." Duo shook his head. "If you had someone who wasn't a fragile human you'd be fine."
It was an old discussion and not one Heero wanted to have again. "I don't want someone that isn't you." He said instead, tilting his head back to kiss Duo.
Pardon me, gentlemen, Quatre's apologetic voice sounded in both their heads. You're needed.
"Ah hell, of course!" Duo swore and let go of Heero reluctantly. Heero pulled off his shirt as Duo activated his ring.
Heero gave him an apologetic smile. "Guess we can continue this later?"
Duo leaned over and kissed his cheek quickly. "Nah, I'm good. We can do other things later instead..." He let his voice trail off suggestively as he took to the sky.
Heero shook his head and followed.
Relena looked up from her lunch just in time to catch sight of Superman overhead, the Green Lantern beside him. She shaded her eyes and watched as he vanished into the horizon, too far away for her to see, out of her reach... Then she packed up her lunch and headed inside. If those two were headed someplace that fast, it meant there was news in the making- and that meant she had her own job to do.
