Yes, this IS the 1x2xR fic. ^__^ And Duo is so naughty, he should be spanked.

She had never known that there was a hammock in her gardens.
It was swaying gently in the breeze, between two trees, the white net of ropes covered in part with a sea green cloth that was freckled with patches of sun. It looked inviting, restful.
"Dibs!"
... and occupied.
Heero rolled his eyes. "Relena is the one supposed to get rest, you lazy ass."
"I'm just testing it for her. We wouldn't want to discover that it was badly tied when the knots give, right?" Duo answered, batting his eyelashes innocently as he made himself comfortable. "See, if it resists to my weight for a few hours, then it means that she'll be safe."
"If it doesn't resist your weight, the only thing it will mean is that you should seriously try eating less," Relena commented casually, giving him a dazzling smile. There were so many sailor knots on the ropes that she doubted anything short of a beam weapon could get it untied.
"Someone is still sulking about being helped with her diet..."
"Diet? Are you implying that I am fat, Duo Maxwell?" she shot back, hands on her hips.
He gave her a lazy smile and pushed his sunglasses down to give her a once-over.
"... Don't worry, babe. You're only fat in the right places."
Somehow, Heero's glass of water slid a little out of his hand for some reason, and in the process of catching it again, it just happened that most of the water spilled out.
"... thank you, love, I was getting too warm," Duo commented, wiping water off his sunglasses calmly.
"My pleasure," he replied stiffly, even though his eyes were gleaming. "I wouldn't want you to overheat your brain after all."
Relena laughed, unable to help it. Duo looked like he was keeping from pouting by sheer force of will, and Heero had a smug look on his face she had rarely gotten to see before.
"Okay, okay. I will leave to Mr Iceman the pleasure of warming himself up with thoughts of our princess' womanly curves."
Relena would have given him an offended shout if she hadn't been sidetracked by the blush on Heero's cheeks. And then she was blushing too, and it was too late for the "DUO!!" she'd had in mind.
Heero looked up at her from behind his bangs, cautiously. He froze when he saw her watching him, and they both blushed more and looked away. Relena's stomach was doing flip-flops.
On the slowly swinging hammock, Duo was humming a little song, eyes closed, a satisfied look on his face.
