Snowflakes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Disclaimer: I don't own Heero or Duo...though I wish that I did. I think that they would fold wonderfully and fit nicely in my closet.

Warning: It's a lime...so consider yourself warned.

This one is for Shinigami who has been so very patient with me no matter how slow my ass has been in the past and still will be in the future. Merry Christmas Shini-chan!!! ::fuzzy hugs::

"How could anything be so...so not like the other? Be different in a thousand ways, in a thousand times...yet so much the same. Isn't there just one that looks like another?"

"No of course not. They are like people...every single one is different."

I frowned and looked down on him, "What about twins?" My gaze shifted back out the window trying to hide my confusion.

I heard him chuckle, his face turning to rest on my knee rubbing his cheek against the soft material of the worn sheet that we shared. "Are you trying to analyze the snowflakes, koi?"

I frowned, trying to decide weather or not he was teasing me like he always does. The violet-eyed beauty that stole my heart without me seeing, he was strange like that. Not matter how bad the killing got...the murder...the blood and destruction; it never reached some part deep inside of him. He always kept smiling, kept on laughing, trying to tear us away from the reality of war with just a small gesture. Ordering pizza without any of us noticing until he would bound into the kitchen, his arms full of the flat white boxes. Or offering us to go shopping with him at the mall. Just simple things that he does to us to get us to remember we still are just teenagers after all. And I fell head over heals completely in love with him...does he even know how much I care?

He shifted again at my feet, moving with the gracefulness of a cat and knelt in front of me. He smiled and I felt my heart lose a beat, his hand slowly reaching out and rubbing the crease between my brows, "Hee-chan," he whispered, so softly that I almost missed it, "snowflakes are like love. Each is different in their own way, yet some how it's the same. They all come from some beautiful magical thing...Just like everyone learns to show their love in some special way, yet it comes from the same source." His other hand reached up and gently touching the bare skin just above my heart.

I smiled at him, a small upturn of my mouth. Though if he would have asked about it I would deny it, perfect soldiers do not smile. "All the times you bug me...?" It was more of a question then a statement that I wanted it to be.

He grinned, his heart-shaped face lighting up, "And all the times you threaten my life for it?" That too was a question, just like him to answer a question with another. He got up and slid into my lap, straddling my hips and letting the sheet fall off of us. The room was slightly chilly but he kept me warm, both inside and out, I could feel his heat against my skin causing me to shiver. It had nothing to do with the cold.

His blue-violet eyes sparkled with divine happiness as he whispered in my ear, his warm breath stirring my hair. I expected 'bedroom talk' whispering little naughies of things that he was going to do to me. What he said caused my heart to stop in my chest. "Ai shiteru, Heero. You must know that..."

I swallowed, just like him to take me completely by surprise. He...we had never said it before...yet somehow I knew he did and I hoped that he knew how I felt. I am sure that he did...but..yet I had never voiced my own feelings for him, the things that he made me feel were both addictive and frightening at the same time. "Aa..."

He ran his fingers through my hair letting it fall back in its messy state. "I do love you, more than life it's self--you are my heart, my soul--you are my everything that I live for. If anything would happen to you during this damned war...if by some fluke of fate Heero 'The Perfect Solider' Yuy actually does self destruct the right way...I would too. I would walk through hell and back again it you just simply wanted me too. I would without thinking twice about it..."

I looked at him watching the emotions play across his face and his tears well up in his beautiful eyes, 'Duo...I--"

"Shh..." He cut me off, shaking his head and brushing his fingertips across my lips. He sighed as I took one of his digits into my mouth, sucking and running my tongue along the length of his finger. A flash of desire crossed his face; he smiled and pulled his hand away, wrapping his arms around my neck. His lips brushed against mine in just a small teasing kiss that made my stomach clench. "You don't have to say anything, koi. If we do live through this hell I want to spend the rest of my life you. I want to see your hair gray and you face wrinkle..."

There was tears in his eyes again, threatening to spill down his cheeks. I reached up and took his beautiful heart-shaped face in my hands. I pulled him closer to me, feeling his chest against mine and kissed his closed eyelids, "Don't cry, my Duo...Not for me."

His chin trembled and I covered his lips with mine, feeling the salty wetness upon my own skin. He sighed and made that purring noise deep in his throat that drove my absolutely wild. I don't even know if he realizes that he does that, probably not.

I got up and carried him to our bed, his legs wrapping around my waist. He let go of me with one arm, his hand coming between us to play across chest and pinch my nipples, turning them into hard little buds. I groaned and devoured his mouth, forcing my tongue between his lips to fight with his.

He arched his back against me, his hand dancing down my stomach before reaching between my legs and grabbing me. I gasped his name gently dropping him on the floor next to the bed and laying on top of him.

We rode together, his lovely face flushed, his soft chestnut hair spreading under him like some sort of halo, him arching up to met me thrust for thrust...hips grinding against mine as I buried myself inside of him.

I watche his eyes; half closed with passion and desire, and when he opened them and looked at me with the purest love I had ever seen, I came. His muscles clenched against me as his own seed spilled between our stomachs and across my hand...

I reached up and pulled the blanket off the bed, covering us both. He purred again, mumbling something that I couldn't make out as he laid his head on my chest. I put both of my arms around him, pulling him close to me.

I watched him fall asleep, his eyelids fluttering and his breath coming in slow even puffs on my chest. I smiled and ran my fingers through his long silky hair and kissed the top of his head, "Ai shiteru, Duo..." I softly whispered to his peaceful form and drifted off to sleep, the snowflakes outside forgotten...
