Asked by fushichou: Water and Earth, sometime after the war.
Author's Note: Ah, I'd almost forgotten that one!
Water and Earth Drabble
Duo drove home, the golden light of the afternoon washing away the tenseness that had built up over the last few days. He hated being away from home, hated more leaving Heero behind, but the situation was dire and needed a Water Master. So he'd gone, leaving his lover at home.
He yawned a little and smiled. Heero preferred being at home- Earth Masters tended to get attached to places after a while. Heero did missions for the Preventers, but only ones where his expertise- or Duo's- were needed.
Home at last. Duo parked the car and swung his bag out of the car. Time to find his lover.
The house was empty. Duo left his bag in the bedroom as he checked the kitchen and den. No sign of Heero.
He smiled. He knew where Heero had to be.
Opening the back door, he spotted his lover sitting in the middle of the garden, talking to a small earth elemental. Duo couldn't tell which it was- they had quite a few hanging around the house.
Heero turned and smiled. "There you are," he said. "Things go well?"
"The mess is cleaned up," Duo started across the yard towards Heero and was met halfway. "At least for the moment. Did I miss anything here?"
Heero shook his head. "Same as always," he kissed Duo and smiled.
Duo looked around at the garden, smiling at the riot of flowers, Heero's tiny kitchen garden, the pond tucked into the corner- the oasis of peace and tranquility that they had created.
It was good to be home.
