AN: Yay! A story dedicated to my all time favorite couple. Heero and Duo. I LOVE YOU DUO! They deserve each other! Don't you agree?

A little about this story… It's not based off of Gundam Wing, but we've still got all the G-boys, and the Gundams too, but you'll see those later. And just a warning for everyone, Heero may be just a TAD bit more talkative that usual, and a TAD bit nicer than usual but all in all, he's still Heero. Love to all! 3

Chapter 1

Two young boys, both the age of five, ran through a field covered in flowers. One boy was chasing after the other. The one chasing had a messy mop of brown hair with lonely Persian blue eyes. His only friend was the one he was chasing. The boy being chased was different though. He had a nice long brown braid with a pair of cheerful cobalt eyes. He had many friends but he always stuck with on in particular.

The chasing boy tackled the braided one, both boys rolling on the ground in laughter. Their time was never as enjoyable as anytime they were together.

"Ne, we'll be friends forever, right?" the braided one asked. The other boy only smiled and nodded.

"Forever."

"Duo!" Lily pulled on the boy's braid, causing him to almost fall back. "Geez child. How many times do I have to call your name before you answer?"

"Heh. Gomen ne Lily-chan."

"Forget it." The young girl clutched her books tightly to her chest and stormed past Duo.

"Hey babe! Wait just a moment!" Duo wrapped his arms around her and pulled her back against him. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ignore you. I've just been distracted is all."

"Hm… okay." Lily pulled away and stared up into the boy's cobalt eyes. "Are you thinking about him again?" Duo sighed and nodded. "Duo, you haven't seen him since you were both six and he left the orphanage. He never once contacted you, and yet you still care? You don't even remember his name!" Lily shook her head and turned away. "I have to go. Kurama is waiting for me. We have a date after school."

"Lily…"

"It's okay." Lily didn't turn back to face him. "I'm over it. We're friends, right? Always will be." Before more could be said, Lily ran out the door to where her boyfriend was waiting for her.

"Stupid Duo," he lectured himself. "Here you've got a beautiful, caring girl and yet you're pining over some guy you can't even remember." Duo took the long way home that night. He couldn't bear to see Lily any sooner than he really needed to. Sometimes he couldn't stand living with her because he could just see how much she really cared for him and he just didn't think he deserved it. And it didn't make it any easier that Kurama and Hiei also lived with them. Kurama loved Lily so much, and while she loved him back, he could still see in Lily's heart remained Duo.

The house they all shared came from Lily's parents. Duo didn't know much about them, or where Lily was really from. He just knew that Lily's parents were rich and provided her with all the money that she needed or wanted. He wasn't saying Lily was selfish, just that she was lucky to have such caring parents… or as Lily always said, 'a caring father'. Why didn't she get along well with her mother anyway?

Duo stuck the key into the door and pushed it open. "Tadaima!" he called out. Looking around he noticed no one was home yet. Not even Hiei. Duo set his bag on the floor and crashed on the couch. It had been eleven years since that day the boy left the orphanage. Duo sighed. The only reason he had been able to leave was because Lily had provided him with a home for the past three years.

"You're leaving?" Duo asked the mop head kid. The kid only nodded.

"I've been adopted. I have a new family now."

"But you promised!" Duo shouted. "You promised that we would always be friends."

"I'll write you!" the kid told him. "We will always be friends. I promise. Forever, remember?"

Duo's eyes flew open only to find Lily staring down at him. She stood and shook her head down at him.

"Honey, you can't sleep on the couch. Come on." She took his hand and pulled him up, directing him to his room.

Duo stopped at his door, staring down at the ground. "Lily, I know you think it's stupid of me, but I won't give up."

Lily blinked then smiled, placing a hand on his cheek. "I don't think it's stupid. I'm just jealous is all. I think it's romantic." She turned away and disappeared into her room.

"You know she only worries about you right?" Duo heard Kurama say as he walked past.

"Yeah… I know."

"Hee-chan!" Lily ran up to her childhood friends, Heero and Sakura, wrapping her arms tightly around Heero. "I thought Wufei was coming with you both." Lily glanced around, trying to spot the pigtailed boy.

Sakura laughed and patted her friend on the back. "Quatre and Trowa are dragging him along on the next trip. After Wufee's last visit, he was afraid of your torture again. You know how shy he is."

"Hm…" Lily laughed. "I guess you're right. Maybe I overdid it."

"Hn…" was Heero's response.

"Same old Hee-chan." Lily patted him hard on the back. "So you both have a hotel you're staying in?"

"Yeah," Heero answered. "Sakura insisted we stay with you, but if I remember correctly you already have three other guys living there. Two extra guests would only cause more problems."

"Aw, so caring Hee-chan. Like always." Lily had known Heero since she was five. He was only a year older than her. Heero had come from an orphanage, but because her parents had known his, they found Heero and adopted him themselves. He became another brother for Lily that she loved and cherished. She was close to all the males in her family.

Lily linked her arm through Heero's and led her two friends out of the airport. After figuring out what hotel they were staying at, Lily led them on their way.

Heero only listened as Lily explained everything that had happened since the last time she had seen him. Heero was happy to hear that she had been doing so well.

"So wait…" Sakura interrupted. "You like this Duo guy, but he likes another guy?" Lily nodded. "So you're dating Kurama?" Once again the nod.

"Well I think it's about time you started dating Kurama," Heero put in. "He's liked you for how long?"

"I know…" Lily sighed. "And I love him, I really do. But I still can't stop thinking of Duo. And I don't think it's because of me loving him anymore. I'm just worried. How can he be happy chasing after someone he doesn't even remember?"

"If that's what he wants let him be."

"But Hee-chan!" Lily pulled on his arm, but stopped when she saw the far away glance in his eyes. "That's right…" She pulled away, staring at the ground. "Because of the accident you don't remember anything from before meeting us." She sighed deeply and continued walking.

Heero, recognizing that distance, pat his sister on the head. "Don't worry. I have you now." He pulled her into an embrace. "That's all that matters."

"Hee-chan…" She smiled, enjoying the warmth of his embrace.

"Aww… now I'm jealous," Sakura interrupted. "Hee-chan. I love you. I want a hug." She stepped up, spreading her arms, ready to be hugged but Heero only rolled his eyes and continued on his way to the hotel. "Mou! Hidoi! You only care about Lily-chan."

"That's not true," Heero explained. He knew there was someone else he cared for, someone that he couldn't remember. Was it before the accident? He couldn't help feeling like he had made a very important promise to someone. But who?
