Something Furry Halloween Drabble 1
Duo awoke to the sun shining through the curtains and into his eyes. He rolled over to find himself alone in bed, which surprised him, considering how tired Heero had been the night before. Pulling on his jeans, he wandered out of the bedroom to find Heero.
Heero was sitting on the couch, Duo's grandmother by his side.
"I'm really sorry, but I just don't want him here." Heero said and glanced over at Duo. "He's just too much trouble."
Duo's breath caught in his throat. What was going on?
Une glared at Duo. "You've failed me grandson. Three days with your mate and he already wants you gone?"
"Wants me gone?" Duo repeated, stunned. Heero wasn't looking at him. What had he done?
"Why do you think I'm here? I came to take you back."
Back? No! Panic rose up in his chest. He rushed to kneel by Heero's leg. "I can be better- whatever you need me to change, I'll do it!" Surely Heero would listen to him- he'd been so kind...
"It's not that," Heero looked down on him, his eyes cold and hard. "There's nothing you can do. I just don't like you."
It was like being slapped. "But- Quatre- he said you needed me!"
"I don't need you. Need you to do what? Bring more trouble into my life?"
"Heero-"
"Please- just take him away." Heero got up and moved away, leaving Duo in a stunned heap on the floor.
"Of course. Treize? Zechs? Can you help?" His grandmother looked towards the door. The two lions stood there, predatory smiles on their lips.
"No! Please no, not them...." He closed his eyes tightly. "Heero, please! I'll be better..."
"Duo? Duo!" Duo opened his eyes to find his mate leaning over him. "Are you okay? You were calling out in your sleep."
Relieved, Duo threw his arms around Heero. "Don't send me away! Please- I'll do whatever you want..."
"Send you away?" Heero repeated, sounding startled. "Why would I do that?"
"Grandmother-" Duo started and then stopped as he realized that he was still in Heero's bed. There was no sun shining through the curtains, the room was still dark. "I... I had a bad dream...?"
"You must have." Heero settled back down on the pillows, bringing Duo with him. "You were calling out for me."
"I didn't mean to wake you."
Heero's lips ghosted over his forehead. "It's all right."
Duo curled up as tightly as he could beside his mate. "I'm a lot of trouble for you. I'm sorry- I'll make it up to you..."
"Shh. There's nothing to be sorry for." Duo opened his mouth but Heero placed gentle fingers on his lips. "There isn't. You aren't trouble at all. Don't think that way. I'm glad you're here with me."
"Really?" The knot in Duo's chest began to ease.
"Really." Heero kissed his forehead again. "Very much so."
