prompt 221- Nature "Camping"
Heero woke lying on his stomach in the middle of a field with his hands cuffed behind his back, he could pick out the sound of Duo sitting next to him turning pages of a book. He scowled into the ground spitting out the grass that had made it’s way into his mouth.
“You’re awake already ‘Ro? Cool, you just going to lie there?”
“Duo,” Heero’s voice was cold as ice as he rolled over and sat up abruptly “You kidnapped me.”
“Well yes you could put it that way I suppose, I prefer to think of it as giving you a chance to get some sleep after your mission and bringing you out here for some rest and relaxation.”
“You shot me with a tranquilizer gun and tied me up.”
“Well you wouldn’t have come otherwise” Duo pointed out as if this was the most reasonable thing in the world.
“Take these restraints off.”
“Only if you promise you won’t hit me or leave.”
Heero glared at him but Duo just stared back stubbornly, he’d been on the receiving end of one of Heero’s punches before and didn’t want to repeat the experience, finally Heero sighed and nodded.
“Cool man, I brought a tent we’re going camping the whole weekend, you, me, the mosquitoes and the rain got to love the great outdoors.”
“Duo, you brought me all the way back from L4 to Earth to go camping.”
“Yep, you wouldn’t believe how much tranquiliser I had to use to keep you out too, get over it and enjoy.”
“Why?”
Duo sighed “Because Heero every time I try to talk to you at work someone interrupts or an emergency happens or you just plain misunderstand, so here we are, no one else is here and we are going to stay here until you answer my damn question.”
“What question? I don’t..” Heero trailed off as Duo sighed again in exasperation
“The question I’ve been asking you everyday for the last 10 years.” There was a moment of silence as Heero stared at Duo in confusion. Finally Duo looked up into Heero’s eyes “Heero do you like me? Because yanno I’ve been in love with you for years. It seems like you do, but you never do anything about it.”
The silence spread out like a wave of stillness and to Heero it seemed the universe held it’s breath as the question filtered through his consciousness “You’re in love with me?”
“Damn, I’ve only been telling you that for years, now would you please just answer my freaking question before I burst you moron.”
“Duo I… I”
Duo stiffened pulling away, in a moment of panic Heero reached out grabbing him and pulling him closer smashing their lips together. Finally releasing the shell shocked former gundam pilot he drew back “Does that answer your question Duo?”
“I don’t know, was that a kiss or an attack? You nearly knocked out a couple of teeth there.” There was a pause and a teasing light entered Duo’s eyes “Can you tell me again? Just to avoid any misunderstandings.”
