A Fortunate Misunderstanding
Part 1

Heero crept into the dormitory he shared with Duo and slowly shut the door, trying not to make any noise that would alert the hall monitors or awaken Duo. He was successful in the first goal but to his chagrin one of the lamps went on. Heero turned around to see a sleepy Duo sitting up in bed, blinking owlishly at Heero. The soldier could not help but stare at the boy who was shirtless and whose hair was a wild mess. Duo scratched his head and yawned loudly, completely unaware of Heero's stares. Heero had never seen Duo look so adorable or so irresistible. As Duo began to stretch, all Heero could think about was climbing into bed with the boy. It took all his will power to walk into the bathroom and get ready for bed.

"So how did the mission go?" Duo called out to him. "Successful? Did ya get the info? How many suits did you destroy? Did ya have fun?" Duo paused for several moments, waiting for Heero to answer him. When no reply was forthcoming, he continued speaking again, "So are ya gonna answer my questions? Well, never mind, that's a dumb question; of course you aren't. But you at least could've said 'hi', that's what normal people do but then again I guess you don't classify as normal huh?"

Heero's response to Duo's insult was to poke his head out of the bathroom and give Duo a death glare.

"You don't intimidate me, you're not that scary," Duo said as he crossed his eyes at Heero. "Come on just tell me about your mission, it wouldn't kill you to talk to me for once!"

"No," was the curt reply as Heero ducked back into the bathroom.

"Well fine then! See if I ever tell you about my missions again!" Duo yelled as he laid down and pulled the covers over his head.

Heero just smirked as he started to brush his teeth, knowing that Duo would tell him more than he ever wanted to know about his future missions. That boy did not know how to keep his mouth shut; not that Heero minded, he actually liked hearing Duo's voice, it helped to calm him down, especially after a mission. Heero eventually finished up in the bathroom and climbed into his bed, turning out the light. The mission had been pretty rough so he was too tired to check his email or write up a mission report like he normally did after completing an assignment. As he drifted off to sleep, Heero heard a sleepy voice say to him "Night Hee-chan".

"Night baka," Heero replied with a smile as he fell asleep.
