Eggs a la Heero
Heero walked down the hall, it was the dead of night and it took him five minutes to find the door that he wanted. He opened it silently and softly walked into the room and across to the bed. Duo was sound asleep so he gently blew in his ear to wake him up. His cobalt eyes fluttered open and stared into Heero's face "Heero? What are you-" The perfect soldier swallowed the rest of the sentence and he and Duo were lost in a passionate kiss. Suddenly a loud beeping protruded into Duo's brain.
I hate it when that happens
The real Duo Maxwell rolled over and shut his alarm up by slapping it with his hand. He had been thoroughly enjoying that dream until it had so rudely interrupted him. He stretched and headed for the bathroom to take a shower. He then untied his braid and let his hair fall over his shoulders while he turned the water on. He got in and was just rinsing out his shampoo when there was a loud banging on the door "Maxwell! Are you in there again!"
"I'd prefer it if I didn't smell Wu!"
"But why do you always have to take so long?"
"Because I do" The reply to that was a loud grunt from outside. This was the closest bathroom to all of their rooms and everyone was always annoyed when Duo got in there first because they then had to walk to the other one in the west wing of the mansion. Duo giggled a little as he got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his hair and another around waist. On his way back to his room Duo bumped into Quatre, who always laughed to see Duo with a large towel wrapped around his head like a turban "Are you finished in there?" The Arabian said with a large grin
"All yours Q-Babe"
"Great, thanks" Duo then spent the next hour dressing and blow-drying his long locks.
When he entered the kitchen he was still braiding his hair and the others were sitting at the table eating breakfast. Duo walked over to the fridge and nudged it open with his hip as his hands were still making complicated motions through his hair. "There's no milk"
"Quatre's going grocery shopping today, have an egg or something"
"But I don't know how to make eggs, Heero"
The Japanese soldier sighed and walked over to the cooking part of the kitchen, still chewing the nutrition bar that he had eaten for breakfast. He grabbed a frying pan and told Duo to pass him some eggs. Duo quickly tied the end off the end of his braid and did as he was told.
"You eat them fried right?"
"Yep"
"Come here"
"Huh?"
"Come here and I'll show you how to do it"
"Oh, ok" Duo walked over to Heero and stood in front of the cooker
"You know how to turn it on right?"
"Erm..."
"You twist this to tell it what ring you want to use and then you push this butting" Heero finished his demonstration, turned the cooker off again and motioned for Duo to turn it on again. The American did and then he was told to get some butter "What for?"
"So the eggs don't stick to the pan"
That was the good thing about Quatre, he'd cook anything for you and you never had to lift finger but the blonde, like the others, was watching in amusement. "Now come and stand in front of me and hold the pan" Heero had put the butter in and was letting it melt on the stove. Duo, again, did as he as told and then he felt Heero's strong arms around him. The perfect soldier was standing right behind him with one hand on the pan just below Duo's and the other was reaching for an egg. "Right, this is what you do" He cracked the egg on the side of the pan and moved his other hand to part the two halves of the shell.
Quatre seemed to be the only one who noticed that Duo was blushing because Heero was so close. He'd known that Duo had a crush on Heero for a while now; he was an empath after all.
Quatre had been contemplating whether or not to tell Trowa, Trowa and Heero's relationship was a lot like his and Duo's except without all the hyperactivity and flowing emotions. Although his lover had kept his sexuality a secret from his best friend, Quatre figured that he might let this one slip.
Meanwhile, back in Heero's kitchen of Doom, Duo was having a mild problem. Heero had failed to specify that you don't cook the shells as well as the eggs. The two soldiers were bent over the pan trying to pick bits of shell out; after Duo had burnt his finger for the fourth time, Heero gave up. He threw the eggs in the trash and decided to start again.
This time Duo managed to get just the edible part of the egg in the pan and was doing a small lap of victory around Heero, much to the dislike of said Gundam pilot.
"Duo! You've just got it in you haven't cooked it yet!"
Duo stopped mid-lap "I haven't?"
"No, you've got to watch it and make sure you don't burn it"
"You can burn an egg?"
"Yes, and I'm sure that with your track record you're perfectly capable of burning soup"
Wufei sniggered and then burst out laughing when Duo said, "You can burn soup?"
Heero put his hand over his eyes and was muttering something that Duo couldn't hear.
When Heero moved his hand and opened his eyes again he saw Duo bent over the pan staring at his egg. He couldn't help but laugh "Duo, what are you doing?"
"I'm watching it"
"You'll burn your nose"
"It's no where near the pan"
"No but the egg spits-"
"OW!"
"-Fat. Are you ok?"
The self-proclaimed Shinigami was rubbing his nose with a tear in his eye "I hate it when you're right" He stopped rubbing his sore nose when Heero had found some cream and a plaster. Duo now looked like he did when OZ had captured him and Deathscythe had been destroyed by Trowa.
"Wufei! Stop laughing!"
"Maxwell! You're such a baka!"
"You do it then!"
"I'm perfectly capable of cooking my own breakfast, thank you" Duo the pouted and returned to watching his egg, but this time from a safe distance.
A few minutes later Duo was cheering and sitting down at the table with two eggs sitting proudly on his plate "I did it! All by myself" Then he looked over at Heero and smiled shyly "Well, almost. Thanks Hee-Chan" Within twenty seconds the eggs were gone and Duo was bounding out of the kitchen. Heero sighed "All that trouble and they're gone in thirty seconds flat"
Quatre and Trowa left not long after that and Heero turned to Wufei "Is it just me or have they been spending a lot of time together recently?"
"Well, you know, musicians and all but never mind that; now that it's just us I've got something important to tell you"
Heero raised an eyebrow "And what's that?"
"Maxwell fancies you"
"What?!"
"Come on Heero, it's so blatantly obvious. He blushes every time you come within a metre radius of him"
"Well... What am I going to do?"
"We're going to get him back for pulling those pranks on us"
"We are?"
"Yes, honestly Heero, you have no vision"
"I've got 20/20 thank you very much"
"You know that's not what I meant! You're spending too much time with Maxwell!"
"So, how are we getting him back?" Asked Heero, grinning inwardly
"You're going to tell him that you know that he loves you and if he really loves you, he'll cut off his hair for you"
"Cut his hair! He'll never do it!"
"Heero, he really loves you. I've seen one of his note pads. It's got 'Duo Yuy', 'Shinigami 4 Perfect soldier' and '0201 4eva' all over it"
"Seriously?"
"Seriously. So, are you with me?"
Heero thought for a minute and then said, "Yeah, ok"
GASP! Evil Heero and Wufei! What'll happen next? Will Duo cut his hair for his love? Find out if you review! I know I've gone off the 3x4 topic a bit but I promise that it comes back!!
