                                     "Two Rogues Cross Paths" Chapter 2

‘So, Rogue, what's a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?'

Duo blushed, followed by Rogue.

‘Umm.... Ah would rather not talk about it.'

‘Okayyyy.... Are you hungry?'

‘Ah'm starving actually.  Do you got anythang to eat?'

‘I have a ton bad rations in my pack. Do you want some?'

‘Please.  Why are *you* way out here in the desert?'

Duo sweatdropped.  ‘Um... I would rather not talk about it.  You look cold.  The desert 
drops below freezing.  I only have one blanket, but we could share.'  Duo blushes. #What am 
I saying?!#

Rogue looks worried.

#Stupid, baka, stupid, baka.....Heero is right about me.#

Duo tosses the blanket to Rogue.

‘Won't you freeze?'

‘Heh... I'll be f...'

‘Ah suppose we could both sit against that rock an try ta share.' Rogue grins worriedly. 

‘Umm... you sure?  I promise, I'm not as dangerous as I look'

‘Its... its not that.  Its just...'

‘Let me guess, you don't want to talk about it.'

‘Bingo.'

Rogue and Duo crowd under the blanket.  Rogue tries to touch Duo as little as possible.

#This chic totally is not into me.  Then again, who is?#

Rogue starts to eat nervously and like she hasn't eaten in quite a while.

Duo takes a pitcher from above the fire and pours something from it into a cup.  He aims the 
cup at Rogue.

‘Hot chocolate?'*grins*

#He is kind of cute.  If only things were different.  If only....# 

‘Yes, please.'

Rogue takes a sip and hands it back to him.

‘Thank you.'

Duo takes a sip and hands it back.

‘Those are some pretty unusual cloths you're wearing.' #Why can't I just keep my big mouth 
shut.#

‘Ah could say the same to you.'

Duo blushes.  There is a long uncomfortable silence.

‘Umm.... the desert gets pretty hot in the day, and it's pretty dangerous to sleep then.  We 
should probably get some sleep now.'

‘O..ok.'

Duo leaned back and closed his eyes.

#He really is cute... sigh#


A couple of hours later...

Duo woke up and looked over at Rogue.  #She really is... beautiful.#

A tendril of hair falls over Rogue's eye.  Duo reaches over to push the hair out of her 
eyes.



Guess what happens next.  Until next time, same bat time, same bat channel.
