Fey Part 9
It was over. It was finally over. One thing was missing from Heero's life to make it complete.
Duo wasn't there.
Heero hadn't seen the boy since... since he'd left to meet Wing. Heero groaned in his infirmary bed. 'If I'd had the time, I would have explained it to him!'
"Well... how are we feeling today, Heero? You feel like getting out and taking a walk with me?" Relena swept through the room with a smile on her face. Heero was there, and that stupid American loudmouth had left days ago.
"No... I don't feel like walking with you." He sat up and prepared to stand. "I'm going to find Duo and see if I can fix the blunder I made right before that last battle."
"You made... a mistake?" Relena giggled. "Oh how cute! Anyway... last I heard Duo was going to his L-2 junkyard. Why do you want to find him anyway, Heero? There are no Gundams anymore."
"Because he's my friend, Relena... and he's important to me. What does it matter to you WHAT I do anymore?" He frowned at himself. "You can either leave or be introduced to the male anatomy."
"He's nothing but trouble, Heero!" The words she was about to say died in her throat when Heero stood up.
"Warned you. Now... ah! Pants." He turned away from Relena to pull a dresser drawer open.
Relena made a few gasping sounds before she cleared her throat and started the conversation again from a different topic. "Where did you get that tattoo?"
"I got it on a colony when I was a little boy. Why? You sound oddly horrified." Heero pulled his pants up and turned to Relena... who looked heartbroken.
"You don't know what that tattoo means, do you?"
"It means I belong to someone. When I was little, I made a very dear friend who was terrified of being taken in by a street gang. I claimed him and then he claimed me. Why?"
Relena sighed. "For a moment there I was worried. It means nothing since it was never..." She gasped as Heero grabbed her arms.
"What does it mean?" Heero narrowed his eyes.
Relena swallowed. "It means that you're married to whomever claimed you. It's not important, though! You were only a child, so it was never consummated!"
"Like HELL it wasn't!" Heero threw the rest of his clothes on. "Why the hell didn't Duo mention this?"
Relena felt lead fill her stomach. "It... you... he... DUO?"
"Never thought to ask my sexual preference before making plans of a happy life with me, did you?" He snorted. "Good bye, Vice Foreign Minister." Heero ran out of the room and was out the front door long before Relena snapped out of her shocked stupor.

"You got a LOT of nerve coming here!" Hilde glared at Heero. "Why the hell are you here? To make his life even more miserable? He TRUSTED you, DAMMIT!"
Heero held up a hand. "There has been a terrible misunderstanding and I have to talk to him. Hilde I KNOW you care about him, but do you really think keeping me away while this wound festers is the best thing for him?" He pushed his hair back. "I just want to see him... after our talk, if he wants me out of his life, I'll leave and never look back."
Hilde let out a whimper. "He loves you, you know! He never told you. He was scared because everyone he's ever really loved has died. He was planning to tell you on Christmas, but the Mariemeia incident came up and..." She choked out a sob. "He's in quad C of the yard going through a new Aries wreck for parts. You'd better not screw this up or I'll slice you to ribbons."
Heero nodded and walked passed her. He heard Duo before he saw him, and remained in the shadows to observe his best friend. 'Doesn't he get hot in those clothes?' He walked closer, so distracted that he accidentally kicked a small bar that went clanging.
Duo's head shot up at the noise and spun to face whatever attacker was sneaking up on him. His shoulders slumped. "I'm going to kill her!" He turned away. "Go away, Heero... I don't feel like talking to you."
"Fine... then don't talk." He walked closer, but far enough away so he wasn't crowding Duo. There was a personal boundary there that Heero wasn't about to cross without Duo's permission. "Did I actually hurt you, or did I just knock the wind out of you?"
Duo paused in what he was doing. "Huh?"
"When I punched you. Did I actually hurt you?" Heero shook his head. "That wasn't my intention. At the moment, all I could think of was the last two times you got captured... you were badly beaten up by the enemy. You were miserable for days after each incident. I wanted to spare you that."
"Heero... it isn't about the punch. It's about tracking you down and finding you sleeping in Relena's arms." Duo watched confusion flit over Heero's face. 'Was I wrong? Was I wrong in what I saw? Oh PLEASE tell me I was wrong.'
"I don't know what Relena did while I was unconscious." He took a cautious step forward. "I told you that you didn't have to be threatened by her. I went to save her because a war would break out if anything were to happen to her. That is ALL!" He reached out... longing to make contact with Duo.
Duo was stricken by the look on Heero's face. Heero looked like a starving child reaching for a scrap of food. 'Screw the scrap! I'm going to give him a banquet!' With that thought, he yanked Heero close and held him. "Gomen! I'm sorry for being stupid, Heero."
"Daijobu. It's all right, love. I'm not angry with you. I understand why you ran. I'm sorry this misunderstanding popped up." He was well aware that Duo's breathing had become more rapid at the endearment, so he chose this opportunity to strike. "Now... why didn't you tell me that the whole claiming deal married us to each other?" He pressed his hands under Duo's jacket. Just as he thought, Duo's skin was too hot.
Duo sputtered. One moment, his heart was about to soar through the sky and the next... it fell to his stomach. It took him a moment to realize that Heero wasn't angry... just curious. Plus Heero was slowly pulling down the zipper of his jacket. "At first... because I honestly didn't kno-ohhhh." He sighed as the black jacket was removed. He hadn't noticed how hot he was. "During the war... I was too scared to bring it up. You started to mean a great deal to me, and I didn't wanna push my luck with you."
Heero pulled Duo's shirt off. "Baka! You're not cursed!" He pulled his own tank top off.
Duo groaned wantonly as Heero caressed him. "We should go inside... where no one can see..."
Heero growled softly and started removing Duo's black pants. "I'm not ashamed of my body, or of yours. Anyone with common decency will look away or leave. Anyone else will get one hell of a show!"
Duo grabbed the fender behind him as Heero kissed his way down. "Who would have thought you were an exhibitionist!" He cried out as Heero engulfed him. Rather than the tentative suckles Heero had given him before, this was an all-out blowjob. "Heero PLEASE!" He jerked his hips as Heero started preparing him as quickly as possible. "YESSSSSSS!!! OH HEERO!" He groaned as he was spun around, still trembling from being brought to the edge without being pushed over.
"I remembered the lube this time, koibito." Heero kicked his pants off and slathered the gel on himself. He hugged Duo's back to his chest as he slid into that sweet caressing tightness. He blinked as Duo wiggled one hand free, then tightened his arms when that hand undid the tie at the end of Duo's braid. "Hmmmm... MINE!" With that, he let his body do what it wanted to do.
Duo clasped Heero's arms as Heero started thrusting into him. "OH GOD! DON'T STOP! DON'T EVER STOP!!!" Duo sobbed as he heard Heero murmur to him.
"Not... YOUR... fault... koi!" Heero kissed Duo's shoulder where it met his neck and nipped at the juncture with his teeth. "Understand? NONE... of... it... was... your... fault!" He caressed Duo's stiff member and held tight as Duo threw his head back and shrieked in ecstasy.
Duo moaned as Heero stilled a moment. "Heero?" He let out a delighted sound when he realized Heero was still hard and inside him.
"Can you take...?" Heero fought for his breath as he gazed at his friend... his partner... his love and lover... his spouse all wrapped up in the gorgeous long-haired boy he'd first known as Fey. He started again. "Can you take all I can put out? Are you willing?"
Duo nodded and groaned as he found himself on his hands and knees. At Heero's pause, he forced a laugh. "It's okay... I know it's you." That was the last coherent word either spoke for quite a while.

Hilde smirked at Relena. "You really DON'T want to see Heero. Trust me on this one, toots."
"Tell me where he is!" Relena figured she'd give Heero another chance.
"Fine! They should be in quad C. Here... take this to them. They've been out there for a while and they'll probably be hungry." Hilde let her smile widen as she remembered hearing some of the howls coming from that area. 'Glad I wrapped everything!'
Relena snorted as she walked through the scrapyard. She caught a bit of chestnut on the ground and ran over. If Duo was injured, then Heero would be worse. She froze and dropped the basket. After two seconds, she screamed.
Heero and Duo were wrapped in each others' arms with small... happy smiles on their faces and only Duo's hair as a covering. Relena's scream woke both young men up.
Duo, not fully aware of everything yet... only that his body still tingled deliciously, glanced over at Relena and yawned. "Oi, ojousan! You wanna give Heero a heart attack?" He grabbed his boxers and slid them on.
"Hn! Baka!" Heero reached over and tucked some hair behind Duo's ear. "MY baka!" Then he noticed Relena. "What the hell are you doing here? I thought I made myself clear that I wasn't interested in you!"
Relena launched herself at Duo. "I'LL KILL YOU!!!!"
Duo grinned and easily flipped her so she landed on her posterior. "You stole Hee-chan's line! Besides... I'd like to see you try. Look lady... why don't you go home and look Dorothy Catalonia up?"
Relena froze. "What? Do you mean to imply that I'M..."
"Being a thief has its perks. I like that whole love / hate thing you did with Une there for a while. Any particular reason why you put her in charge of the Preventers?" Duo frowned at her. "Look... I can't fault your taste in men, but Heero is MINE! I claimed him when I was seven years old just as he claimed ME! By laws of this colony... we are man and husband!" He sighed. "Look... if you're really interested in dangerous Asian men... why not go to Wufei? I know for a fact that HE'S straight... and his honor demands that he rebuilds the Dragon clan. Wufei's as much the fallen prince as Heero is."
"Relena... You don't love me." Heero held up a hand to silence her protests. "You worship me as the ideal that every young girl wants. The strong silent knight on a shiny horse who will rescue the princess and live happily ever after. The horse is gone, and I don't want to be an icon. You've put me on a pedestal and I don't want to be there. It's lonely."
Duo bit his lip. "An old saying states that if you love something... you have to let it go. If it comes back to you, it was always yours. If it doesn't, it never was and never will be. I was willing to leave Heero when I thought he was happy with you." He hugged Heero's arm. "In the end... isn't it Heero's happiness that matters the most? He's had his whole childhood ripped from him. He deserves every second of happiness he can get."
Relena sighed sadly as the truth hit her. "Will you both come to the Sanq Kingdom? I know a certain princess who would not be adverse to legalize your marriage on Earth."

"You may now kiss the groom." Relena smiled sadly as the pair crushed each other in equally fierce hugs. They did truly love one another.
Wufei glanced at Relena's forlorn expression. "A wise man once said that the flower which blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all." He smiled slightly. "You have his friendship. Is that not enough?"
"It will have to be enough, Wufei. How are you liking the Preventers?"
Wufei quirked a small grin at the innocent topic. He had a feeling that his answer would be the start of a long relationship. Relena was a woman with a good mind and a strong spirit. Slender but not too skinny as to be hindering the childbearing process. "I enjoy it well enough."
The newlyweds laughed as Quatre blushed at having caught the bouquet.
And in the Heavens, one young angel collapsed. 'FINALLY! Maybe now he'll stop bugging me and I can be reborn!'
What followed... is another story all together.
