book_people: Heero/Duo, sweet
Halloween Drabble 29
It was one of those sorts of days. Heero mentally groaned as he hurried towards his office. An hours-long meeting had started off the day, and now he had only just enough time to run to his office to grab a file before heading off to another meeting.
Darting into his office, Heero blinked at the pumpkin shaped cookie on his desk. It was sitting neatly on a wrapper from the bakery downstairs, it's cheerful frosted face grinning at him. Next to it was a steaming cup of coffee. Right now it looked like manna from heaven. "Where did this come from?' he asked his partner.
"I got it for you." Duo looked up from his report and smiled briefly. "I know the only time you indulge is after one of Une's budget meetings, and I knew you wouldn't have time to go get anything because you have to go meet with Wufei."
Duo was the best partner in the world, Heero decided as he scooped up the file, the cookie and the cup and headed for the door. "Thanks," he said gratefully. "I really appreciate this-"
"No problem." Duo lifted a shoulder, "I'd do anything for you, you know."
Heero was halfway down the hall when all of a sudden a thought occurred to him. Dashing back to the office, he leaned his head inside the door to ask:
"Seriously?"
Duo glanced up with a puzzled look. "What?"
"You said you'd do anything for me. Would you?"
His partner's expression cleared. "Of course- except go to Wufei's meeting for you. He doesn't like me going you know- after the last time when I took all the post it notes and-"
Heero shook his head. "I wanted to ask you to dinner. Would you go to dinner with me?"
"I eat dinner with you all the time. Why would I say no?"
"Not that kind of dinner."
"Oh-" Duo blinked for a moment and then seemed to light up. "Dinner dinner. I got it." He beamed a smile at Heero. "Yeah, I'd like that. When?"
"Tonight. After Wufei's meeting."
"Not wasting any time I see."
"Haven't we wasted a lot already?"
"Good point. I'll be ready to go the moment you're finished."
"Great." Heero dashed carefully back down the hall, hands still full. His day was looking better already.
Now, if only Chang would cancel that meeting....
