Heero blinked at the clock. 12am? Why was he awake?
The doorbell rang again.
Oh right. That was why. Who would be ringing his doorbell at midnight? Course given the day he'd had it was just par for the course.
Heero dragged himself out of bed and shuffled wearily towards the door. The doorbell rang again before he got there. "Who is it?" He yelled through the door. If it was a girl scout selling cookies, he was going back to bed.
"It's me!"
Duo? What the hell was he doing here? Had something gone wrong? Heero unlocked the door quickly and blinked at the person on the other side.
"What's wrong?"
Duo stepped inside and dropped his bag. "Nothing's wrong." He gave Heero a look that Heero couldn't identify. "Everything is very right."
Heero frowned. What was Duo talking about?
"I got an email tonight. Relena sent it to me."
Heero felt his heart sink. So Relena had sent her email- and Duo was obviously very happy about it.
"That's great, but Duo, it's after midnight..."
"I know. I got an earlier flight and came right here." Duo's mouth curved in a smile as he lifted a shoulder in an apologetic shrug. "I just couldn't wait."
Duo was happy, Heero realized. Happier than Heero had ever seen him. So he swallowed, trying to make the lump in his throat go away and smiled.
"So tell me about Relena's email. What did she say?"
Duo stepped closer. "That you wrote it."
Panic. "I...but I didn't. I erased it..."
Duo's smile widened. "I still got it." He reached out a hand and brushed his fingers over Heero's cheek. "I do feel that way about you Heero. I have for a long time."
Heero couldn't breathe. Duo's fingers were warm on his cheek. He didn't know what to do, what to say- he knew he had to do something, had to tell Duo...
"What... what do I do?" He said and Duo stepped closer.
"Just let me stay with you." Duo let his lips touch Heero's cheek. "I know it's late. We've both had a long day. I just had to be here. If you don't mind lending me a pillow, we can talk in the morning. I just want to be with you tonight. Okay?"
Heero smiled shyly back. "Okay."
