Payment Drabble
He rang the doorbell and waited.
A moment later the door opened and Heero was looking at him in surprise. "Duo? What's going on? Is something wrong?"
He nodded. "Yes. Can I come in?"
Heero stepped back and waved him in, his eyes dark and worried. "Always. I didn't expect to see you. Did you talk to Trowa?"
"Yes," Duo waited until Heero had closed the door. "We had a long talk."
"How is he?"
"Good. He looked good. I told him we'd like to see him more." Duo hadn't really thought about what he was going to say- hadn't thought about how to say it. He followed Heero into the living room, worrying his bottom lip with his teeth.
Heero sat down on the sofa. "What do you need, Duo? Has another case..."
"No," Duo spoke sharply. "I'm not here because of a case. I'm here because of you."
He saw the fear flick over Heero's face. Knew why the other man was afraid, and suddenly it was easy. "I want to be with you."
"I want you with me. More than anything. But Duo-"
"I know. I'm not asking you to stop."
Heero reached out a hand to him and Duo let himself be pulled down on the sofa. "Then what are we going to do?"
"You're going to ask me to move in with you because your place is nicer than mine." Duo tried for levity. Heero opened his mouth and Duo placed his fingers on top of his lips. "I'm going to find a way to live with it- because I can't live without you. Not anymore."
Heero kissed his fingertips and pulled Duo's hand away from his mouth. "Are you sure about this, Duo? Once you do this I don't think I'll be able to let you go again."
Duo kissed him, slowly, knowing that now they had time. No more snatched moments. No more waiting for an email or for the phone to ring.
"Very sure."
