Birthday Wishes
Heero stirred from his sleep, noticing subconsciously the dip of the bed and lack of body next to him where one usually lay beside him. The latter thought was easily mended; warmth and a familiar weight resting over him and someone nuzzled his cheek, then his ear. Something a little cooler lay against his chest; a necklace, Heero deduced, even though the usual pendant it hosted felt a little different.
He blinked a groggy eye open and closed again, lazy hands wandering up to settle on the person's waist, and drifting up the warm skin as he turned slightly to press a kiss to an ear. Hands expertly remained untangled from said hair until he chose to loosely grasp it at the back of the head that was currently pulling away. He tugged a little, expressing without words his desire for the head to stay nuzzled against him, but the person still pulled away. He opened his eyes with a bit of a sigh, a small smile in place for the man that sat beside him.
"Happy Birthday, Heero." Amethyst eyes were twinkling happily, a hand reaching to brush Heero's hair from his eyes. Heero's smile widened as he shifted up to recline a bit against the pillows. "Here, blow out your first candle."
A stack of pancakes had a candle on top of them. "Don't forget to make a wish!"
Heero closed his eyes for a moment. "I wish Duo Maxwell would make me pancakes more often," he murmured before blowing out the candle.
Duo chuckled. "You're not supposed to say wishes aloud!"
"But if I didn't, how would it be granted?" Heero asked, playing with the strands of hair, loose from Duo's customary braid as he looked up at his lover.
Duo conceded. "Fine." He set the plate aside on the bedside table then picked up a box. "Happy Birthday," he said again.
Heero accepted the present, turning the rectangular box around before he carefully unwrapped it. Flipping open the box, he stared for a moment before looking back to Duo.
"I can't accept this, Duo-"
A kiss halted his protest. "Yes, you can," Duo said against Heero's lips. "I want you to have it."
"But your cross..." Heero touched it lovingly.
"It holds a lot of things precious to me, Heero. And... you already have my heart, though I may not be able to physically give you my heart. This is the closest I can get."
Heero pulled Duo close for a fierce kiss. "Thank you," he whispered. "So damn much."
As he extracted the necklace from the case, another something slid down the chain to clink against the well-worn yet well-cared-for cross. Heero stared at the silver ring that now lay next to the cross.
"Mm, maybe my ulterior motive is that. It's a part of that chain now and you've accepted it already..." Duo pulled back and only then did Heero notice why the necklace that had been caught between their bodies just minutes earlier feel different than usual. A silver ring adorned the necklace; now he realized that Duo had kept the necklace from his cross and gotten a similar, new one for Heero. "That is, unless you want to give it back to me."
"Mine," Heero whispered. "You can't take it back, not after you've given it to me." He lifted the ring from Duo's chest and pressed a kiss to it. Examining it, he noticed his own name carved onto it. Lifting his own with the cross, he saw Duo's name engraved in his own ring. A suspicious stinging became apparent in his eyes as the chain was lifted from him and Duo placed it around his neck. Then, Duo repeated Heero's actions, kissing the ring and cross for a long moment before laying it on Heero's chest.
"I love you," Duo murmured.
"And I, you." Heero pulled his lover close and sealed their words with a kiss.
A short while later, Duo pulled back with a sly grin. "I know you're the birthday boy and all, Heero, and you're the one that's supposed to put out the fire on the candles..."
Heero shifted as Duo's hand released the cross and ring and traced down his stomach to reach below the sheet covering his lower body.
"But I don't suppose you'd protest if I gave you a hand in dousing this fire for you?" Duo's hand sought for and began stroking something that had left the sheet slightly tented over Heero's lower body.
"I warn you," Heero fingered the chain around Duo's neck, using it to pull the man closer so he could steal another kiss. "You can only temporarily put this one out. It always comes back. You going to help me keep it under control?"
Duo licked Heero's lips before he pushed the sheets aside, baring Heero's body. He kissed his way down Heero's chest as he moved to settle between Heero's legs, a smirk on his lips.
"Gladly." Duo leaned closer, only to be stopped by Heero's hand.
"Gonna make a wish first?" Heero asked softly, a twinkle in his own eyes. "Aloud?"
Duo thought for a moment before smiling wickedly, tongue darting out to swipe across the sensitive head of Heero's cock. "I wish to learn and try new ways to control this very passionate fire that consumes Heero Yuy."
Heero fell back, body arching as heat enveloped him. His last coherent thought was that he definitely would not mind granting Duo's wish by allowing his lover free control over his heated body...
He was sure Duo had another cake and candle somewhere; Heero's next wish was going to be a copy of Duo's wish
