For natea2x1, who asked for a Heero/Duo happy moment. I'm not sure how happy this is... but I tried...
Snoring
"What's wrong?"
I looked up from my book to find Duo in the doorway, sleep mussed; his pajama bottoms drooping dangerously low on his hips.
"Couldn't sleep," I smiled for him and put the book to the side. "Why are you up?"
He moved towards me and I slid over in the chair to give him enough space to wedge in beside me. He put his feet over my lap and gave me a sleepy smile. "I couldn't sleep without your snoring."
"I don't snore!" I protested and he chuckled.
"It's not loud," he assured me. "It's very soft. Like a 'honk-shu' kind of sound."
"I can't snore," I repeated. "I know, because J made it part of the training..."
Duo nodded. "I know. You never did snore during the war. It's only been in the last few years that you started." He ran his fingers through my hair affectionately. "I was kind of glad to hear it. You know- you felt safe enough to snore again..."
"Huh..." Maybe Duo had a point. "Well, you always talked in your sleep."
It was his turn to look surprised. "I do?"
I nodded. "Uh huh, how do you think I find out all your guilty secrets?"
"Hey!" He frowned for a moment, and then looked thoughtful. "But... I don't have any secrets... not from you."
"I know," I sighed dramatically. "But if you did, that's how I'd find out."
He punched me lightly in the shoulder. "Jerk."
I rolled my eyes at him and cuddled him close. "You're freezing. We should go back to bed."
"But- you said you couldn't sleep."
"Well now that I know you need me snoring to go to sleep, I'll regard it as a personal mission- and do it for you."
He kissed my forehead, right above my eyebrow. "Were the dreams bad tonight?"
"Yes." I never lied to Duo. I wasn't really looking forward to going to lie down in the dark again- even with Duo beside me... but I'd do it for him.
"Then maybe we should stay here for a bit longer." He curled up against my shoulder. "Why don't you read to me for a bit?"
It was my turn to kiss his forehead. "Are you sure? You'd be more comfortable in bed...?"
He shook his head. "I'm happy wherever you are."
I kissed him again and started to read.
