Blue Forest Banshee Part 14
Duo and the Wyvern
The knock on his door brought Duo instantly awake. It was a little after 0900, but he didn't have anything on for the day. Sleeping in was one of his favorite things. Still, it was past time to be starting the day.
As he pulled on a pair of shorts, he wondered who would be looking for him. Trowa and Wufei were working with an investigating team in Manitoba. Something to do with some odd glyphs. Q was taking a short vacation. Heero had also gone home, wherever that was, after the embarrassment in the garden.
Duo found himself rather shy with Heero the day after that farce, but Heero had seemed about equally embarrassed. Neither of them had much to say, so Duo tried to put it out of his mind. Still, the thought of Heero carrying him... It just lingered on so many levels.
"Oh." Duo blinked upon opening the door. "Heero..."
"Good morning, Duo." His glance took in Duo's rumpled hair and the ragged shorts. "I woke you; I'm sorry."
"That's okay. It's time I was up anyway." He invited Heero in with a frown toward the door to their connecting bath. "Why are you at this door, anyway? Why didn't you just come through the bathroom?"
"That would not have given you a chance to ignore me," Heero said firmly.
Duo's eyebrows shot up. "Ignore you? Why in hell would I want to ignore you?" He paused suspiciously. "This isn't about my faint in the garden, is it? Because that was not my fault!"
Heero looked startled. "Um... Actually, I came to ask if you'd go on a picnic with me..." he said hesitantly.
"Oh." Duo swallowed, his face heating up. "Damn. I jumped into that one with both feet, didn't I?"
"Just a little," Heero allowed.
"I'd love to go on a picnic. Uh, if you still want to." He found the end of his braid, twining it around his fingers.
"Yes, I do."
