Notes: Not beta-read. This is a part of the babysiting adventures universe, inspired by Sharon's prompt "Babysitting adventures for uncles Heero, Duo, Trowa and Quatre. Wufei and Relena are the parents, of course". I should state now that the little drabbles in this universe will not be chronological at all!
Properly Misspelled
Heero studied Duo from under his bangs.
Every little while, Duo's lips twitched as if an interesting thought had crossed his mind, and this made Heero wary. He blinked and straightened when he heard his name and looked to his left.
"Yes, Leila?"
Leila smiled. "Can I have some more veggies, Uncle Heero?"
"Sure." Heero served her some more of the stir fry and watched as Leila expertly used her chopsticks. When he looked up across the table, Duo's lips were schooled once more.
Heero raised an eyebrow. Duo shrugged a shoulder.
Even after dinner, when Duo had finished the dishes and joined Heero and Leila in the living room where Heero was reading her a story, Duo's lips still twitched as if he were restraining a grin. Then, as if to hide his face from Heero, Duo pushed him to one side of the couch and snuggled against him before pulling Leila into his arms so she could see the pictures in the book.
The story was quickly finished and Leila sat on the floor with the book, looking at the pictures again and reading the words she knew. Heero didn't let Duo move from his side and he whispered into Duo's ear.
"What have you been grinning about all evening?"
"Nothing," Duo answered. Heero traced his finger along the shell of Duo's ear. Duo shivered and brushed Heero's hand away, but Heero's other hand made its way to Duo's side and poked him. Duo jumped and tried to stop Heero from tickling him.
"Hey!" Leila called, noticing their antics. "Uncle Heero, are you picking on Uncle Duo?"
"Yes!" Duo quickly answered.
"No." Heero calmly replied, holding both of Duo's hands captive. "Uncle Duo has been keeping a secret from me and that's not very nice is it?"
Leila looked indecisive. "But secrets are meant to be kept," she reasoned. "You should be happy that Uncle Duo can keep secrets!"
Duo laughed, elbowing Heero lightly for his victory.
"Mommy can't keep a secret. I said that we could keep a puppy a secret from Baba, but she told Baba anyway that I wanted one and Baba told me I had to be older to take care of it first."
"Help me, Leila!" Duo said, squirming. "Uncle Heero is holding me captive!"
"What does captive mean?" Leila asked curiously, putting the book aside and moving closer to her uncles.
"It means I can't move because he's holding me here! Help me, Leila, I have to go to the kitchen so I can get you some apple pie."
Leila immediately got up to pull at Heero's hand, but when Heero pretended to let go, it was only to pull Leila up and hold her against Duo.
"Now you're both mine," he declared. "If I don't get to find out this secret, then neither of you will get any pie!"
"That's not fair!" Leila squirmed, tilting her head back to look up at Heero. "Secrets should be kept, Uncle Heero. No pie for you because you are being bad!"
Duo laughed harder at that. "Bad, Uncle Heero!"
Heero sighed and released them. Immediately, Leila crawled to sit in Duo's lap, cupping her hands around her mouth and leaning towards his ear.
"Is the secret the paper I wrote on earlier?" she asked in a loud whisper. The words left Heero even more confused.
Duo groaned, pushing Leila playfully onto the sofa and covering her mouth. "Yes it is, but not so loud, Leila! Uncle Heero has super hearing!"
Leila giggled under Duo's hand and nodded, eyes sparkling at the thought of sharing a secret with her Uncle Duo. She pushed his hand away. "Can I have pie then?"
"Yes!" Duo scooped her up and Heero watched as he swung her onto his back. He closed his eyes and smiled a little, although he wasn't quite sure what he was smiling about.
A minute later, Leila came to the living room again and set a plate down on Heero's lap.
"I thought you weren't giving me any pie because I was bad," Heero said, opening his eyes.
Leila held a fork out to Heero. "But you are a good Uncle the rest of the time and Uncle Duo did keep the secret so it's okay!"
Heero accepted the fork and tapped Leila on the nose. "Thank you, Leila."
An hour later, Leila had been picked up by Wufei, although not before she shared another whisper and secretive grin with Duo at the front door. Heero left Duo to lock up and returned to the couch, stretching out across the length and resting his hand over his eyes.
He didn't hear Duo walk over to him, but Heero wasn't startled to feel his lover straddle his thighs. He let Duo pull his hand from his eyes and watched with a raised eyebrow as Duo leaned closer with a grin.
"What?" he asked.
"It's time to let you in on the secret."
Heero raised his other eyebrow. "You're telling me the secret that you shared with Leila? You're not supposed to."
"Ah, but there's a catch to that rule." He sat up and pulled Heero up as well. "It was my secret that Leila was keeping, so if I choose to tell you now, then I'm not breaking any rules of secrecy, right?"
"Right." Heero's curiosity piqued again.
"Come with me."
Heero followed Duo into the bedroom where his lover switched on only one of the bedside lights. He watched as Duo pulled a small piece of paper from his bedside drawer.
"Lie down." Duo pulled back the covers.
Heero complied, then rest his hands on Duo's hips as his lover straddled his thighs once more.
"When you were doing the laundry earlier, Leila decided that she wanted to show me her spelling skills. She wrote two words out and they're instructions for me to follow."
"Two words?" Heero asked curiously. Duo offered him the paper and Heero unfolded it, turning a little towards the light so he could read the words. At the same time, Duo leaned down and kissed Heero's neck, trailing his lips down to Heero's shoulder where he sucked hard enough to mark the skin. Heero's breath hitched, the paper slipping from his fingers, and Duo took advantage of the moment to tilt Heero's head towards him for a passionate kiss. He pulled away briefly, giving Heero the chance to take a quick breath before he thrust his tongue into Heero's mouth again.
Heero moaned, arching his back as Duo found the right position to rock their lower bodies together, setting a teasing pace.
"One of them," Heero gasped when he had the chance. "Isn't even a word!" He set his hands onto Duo's shoulders, squeezing as Duo ground into him. "What was she trying to...?"
Duo pressed Heero's hands down onto the mattress. "Our names," he muttered as he sat up, still rocking his hips as he quickly stripped his shirt off. "Only Leila could prove that I'm meant to do this as per my namesake."
Heero laughed, running his hands up Duo's torso to tweak a nipple as Duo unbuttoned Heero's pants. "I doubt she meant this."
"Of course she didn't!" Duo paused, scandalized. "She's too young!"
Heero sat up and stripped off his own shirt. "But you are still going to carry out her instructions, right?" he asked as he cupped Duo's clothed arousal.
Duo grinned again and stood on the bed, pulling off his sweats and underwear before he knelt and removed Heero's pants. Pushing Heero's legs apart as his lover lay back once more, Duo moved close enough to slide his hardness alongside Heero's, pressing both shafts against Heero's taut stomach with his hand. He moaned as he rocked his hips, watching as Heero's eyes slid shut at the sensation of Duo's erection moving against his.
"You bet I'm going to carry out my mission." He wasted no more time on talking, determined to do just that.
And there beside the bed, the small sheet of paper lay forgotten on the floor. Two words could just be made out in the dim light from the bedside lamp.
Doo Heero.
