Dream a Dream
by Rum


He saw him the moment he walked in, leaning against the wall, his face half darkened by the drifting veil of shadows that was being cast around the large, over-packed room. He managed to pry his way through the dancing bodies, the stench of sweat and smoke and alcohol lingering in a way which he was now used to. This was one of his main haunts, he came here often -- his main reason was not to 'pull' someone, as it were, but to dance. He loved to dance, it was something that he was skilled at. There had been times -- too many times -- that he had been led out to one of the back rooms, to one of the sound proofed rooms, where he had had sweet sex with strangers, always on the brink of caring about how many diseases, how many germs the old and slightly flabby men could give him. But he didn't care. Besides, that was a log time ago. Now, as he pushed through the sweaty bodies towards the dark but intriguing character leaning in the shadows, he knew that he didn't want to go into one of those back rooms with any of the men on the dance floor.

Finally reaching the edge of the swarming crowd, he straightened his leather jacket, casting a glance towards the bar. Getting one drink wouldn't hurt, he decided. Smiling slightly he walked towards the large bar that graced the nightclub with it's heady beverages and strong liquors. Reaching the bar he leant against the cool chrome surface and grinned at the blonde. "Mark." He simply said.

"Oh! I didn't notice you there....Hey Duo. What'll it be?" The blonde asked, his own grin almost matching that of the braided man clad in leather.

"Vodka and coke, please." He answered, the blonde nodded and turned to get his drink. While his friend was busy getting him his drink, Duo turned so that he was facing the dance floor. He closed his eyes and let the music surround him, letting himself become part of the strong bass line that he cold feel shuddering through him. "Excuse me." His eyes snapped open, becoming fixed on a pair of ice blue crystals. Duo was glad that he was leaning against the bar, otherwise he would have fainted from the sudden light-headed feeling he felt surging through him.

"Excuse me." The man with the ice blue eyes said again, his voice monotone and devoid of emotion.

"Y-yes?" Duo asked, cursing himself as he heard the slight tremor.

"Do I know you?" The man asked. Duo suppressed the urge to role his eyes. What an old pick-up line, he would have expected more from such a beautiful face. Asian features and ruffled, unkempt hair. And such amazing eyes.

"I don't think so." He answered.

"I think I do....I'm sure I've seen you before." The man answered, stepping closer.

"Oh?" Duo smirked, waiting for the revelation. He wasn't expecting the gentle hand on his waist, the feeling of someone's breath on his ear or the words, spoken so softly that he only just caught them.

"You're in my dreams every night....an angel from above, a creation so beautiful it's painful....with amethyst eyes of love, and long, long hair made of satin....a body made of silk, made of pure longing....how you haunt me ...." Duo let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding. His eyes slid shut as he continued to listen to that monotone, nasal voice that was so delicately praising him and yet cursing him at the same time.

"You're so beautiful.... kerei....how can you be so beautiful? I didn't know that a man could be so elegant....so amazingly stunning." Duo shuddered as he felt the hand on his waist slide up to clutch his braid.

"It really is made of satin...." The man mused.

"W-who are you?" Duo whispered. The man pulled back, looking into depths of amethyst.

"Someone who has dreamt about you a hundred times; someone who has wondered what you're like, wondered how you sound, how you act a thousand times; and someone who has loved you over and over a million times. My name is Heero Yuy." The man reached for Duo's hand, bringing it to his lips and softly grazing them with moist petals, leaving a mark of love on his hand.

"N-nice to meet you....I-I'm Duo Maxwell." He stuttered out.

"Will you come with me?" Came the whispered request.

"Wh-what?" Duo turned shocked eyes up to the slightly taller man.

"Come with me, you're too beautiful for this place." Heero whispered.

"What do you mean?" Duo asked, his own voice just as quiet.

"I want to take you somewhere....I want to be with the one I have dreamt of." Heero's eyes suddenly flooded with emotion, they became warm blue pools of love and devotion. Duo was stunned....surely....surely the man had only been lying when he said that he had dreamt of him a hundred times. Or was it possible? Was it possible that this man, Heero Yuy, a man that Duo Maxwell had never seen in all his life until almost 10 minutes ago had dreamt about him for God-knows how long. A year? Two? Maybe Three....Duo didn't know, he only knew that chance was a wonderful thing and right then he was resting his faith in it. He was about to take a chance and believe this man.

"I'll come with you." He answered. A breathy sigh escaped the other's mouth.

"Good...." The warm body moved away from Duo, he shivered and looked over at the other man. "This can be our first date."


Duo walked slightly behind the striding Asian man, he was thinking....thinking about the sudden change of events. Twenty minutes ago he had walked into his favourite nightclub, wanting to dance the night away. He had seen the man in the corner, but had never considered that this could have happened. Such a revelation....such a strange turn of events. He smiled as he thought, it wasn't such a bad turn of events though. This man, this amazing and beautiful man that Duo had known for all of twenty minutes had completely taken him, he was so mysterious and yet completely open. Duo loved the uncommon mix.

"This is it." Duo looked up as he heard the words. Looking around he gasped slightly. It was beautiful! He gazed out over a dark and moonlit lake, the black water mirroring the cloudless sky above it. Weeping Willow trees gently shuddered in the slight breeze, casting dark shadows of mystery about.

"Do you like it?" Heero asked, his face a mask of porcelain but his eyes blue pits of emotion.

"It's so beautiful...." Duo answered, his voice misty and quiet.

"Just like you then, come on." Heero took his hand, gently tugging him towards the edge of the lake. He sat down, pulling Duo to follow his actions. They sat in silence for almost fifteen minutes, Duo's suddenly shy glances at Heero causing him to blush and fidget, while Heero stared transfixed at the beautiful man who had haunted his dreams.

"You're so beautiful...." Heero mused quietly, reaching out a hand and tracing a finger down Duo's cheek. This caused the braided man to blush and look down. "I'm not....You're more handsome than me." Duo muttered, not used to being given such praise.

"Ah, but I said you were beautiful. I may be handsome but you -- you are pure beauty personified." Heero smiled slightly and traced one pouty bottom lip, running his finger along it. Leaning forwards he replaced that finger with his lips.

The kiss was long and slow, passionate and loving. Duo's mouth opened willingly to the seeking tongue, meeting his own and intertwining. It just felt right, to be with this man, sharing their first kiss. A slight moan came from Duo as he felt a hand come up and caress his cheek, the other threading itself into the hair at the base of his neck, pulling him closer. Duo's hands rose up and wrapped around Heero's neck, wanting more. But soon they were running out of breath, their heavy pants filling the night air as they pulled apart.

"Kerei...." Heero whispered, his finger running along one elegant eyebrow and then down a little pixie nose, towards lips that were made to caress. Duo blinked slowly, looking up at the beautiful man, sighing as he inched closer, back to those warm and full lips. Heero did not resist, he pulled the slim figure forwards and met him halfway, both initiating a kiss more passionate than the first.

Duo moaned, a sound that was lost in Heero's mouth, but was still heard. One hand had stolen under the green shirt that the other was wearing, fingers playing across the hard muscle of Heero's abdomen. With loving ease Duo was lowered gently to the ground, surrounded by the short, ticklish grass. Their lips parted for a second before they were fastened again, a tight lock that could never be broken. Heero's hands went to the thick braid lying out on the ground, he unraveled it slowly, reveling in the silky feeling.

"Eyes of love, hair of satin, body of silk...." Heero whispered as he pulled away from the kiss, looking down into said eyes and sighing.

"You were telling the truth?" Duo asked, eyes searching the Asian face.

"Hai, I dream of you.... always. And now, I've finally found you, you're real.... I didn't think you were real.... I didn't know something so beautiful even existed." A smile flitted across the man's features before he leant down and laid a gentle kiss to the silken skin. "Aishiteru."

"Wh-what?" Duo asked quietly.

"I," the man leant down and kissed his forehead. "Love," the tip of his nose. "You," his lips, long and sweet was the kiss. Duo moaned, fingers unbuttoning the green shirt quickly, surprised when hands suddenly held his own and lips were against his ear.

"Slow down.... don't be so hurried, you don't have to hurry." Heero whispered, nuzzling Duo's hair. The long-haired man sighed and closed his eyes, nodding slightly. Lips came back to his for a sweet kiss before traveling to the column of his neck and sucking slightly. Heero nibbled slightly on his neck, while hands played with his hair, threading through it and then stroking it gently.

Duo reveled in the feeling of bliss the slow, sweet nibbles and the light caresses to his scalp caused. One of Heero's hands strayed to the leather jacket, slipping it off with ease while the other continued to play with his hair. The black shirt Duo wore was slowly unbuttoned, pushed away from his chest to bundle at his sides. But Heero was moving lower, sinking teeth into a shoulder, causing Duo to let out a shuddering breath before gentle, apologising licks and kisses were placed on the mark. Duo brought his hands up and rested them on Heero's strong shoulders, needing support.

"Heero...." Came the sighed whisper as Heero licked at a nipple, biting softly before licking again and then moving to the other, giving it the same treatment. He kissed each nipple, worshipping Duo's body like he had in his dreams. Duo's shaky sighs came frequently now, knowing that what Heero was making him feel, what he was doing to him was more than just sex -- he was doing it out of pure love, out of wanting to make Duo feel loved.

Duo gasped as he felt a hand pressing against his arousal, kneeding him slowly through the cloth of his trousers.

"Aishiteru, Duo." Came the soft whisper next to Duo's ear as Heero slowly unbuckled and zipped his trousers. They were slipped off, being discarded somewhere close by. Duo mumbled incoherently as he was fondled lovingly by Heero, writhing underneath him as the man above him nibbled at his neck.

"Heero....Please....I need you!" Duo moaned, feeling Heero waste no time.

"I'm sorry Duo, it might hurt a little." Heero whispered, a probing finger slipping roughly inside of Duo. Gasping Duo arched up into the other man, gritting his teeth and trying not to cry out at the pain he was feeling. Heero recognised his hurt features, pulling him close and stilling his movements until he knew that Duo had relaxed, he carried on.


Duo lay, wrapped around Heero, on the ticklish grass. He was naked, basking in the wonderful feeling of post-orgasmic bliss. Looking up at Heero he saw cobalt blue depths stare back at him.

"I can't believe I've finally found you, Duo." Heero whispered. Duo smiled, kissing him lightly on the cheek.

"Well I'm not going anywhere so you have a lot of time to start believing." Duo smiled at him, wrapping his arms securely around the other man's waist.

Soon, though, it was time to get up. They both knew that they couldn't lie on the grass all night -- and, besides, Heero insisted that he had to take Duo somewhere. "Somewhere else?" Duo asked nosily, pulling on his leather jacket as Heero nodded.

"Somewhere we can be alone."

"But we're alone right now Heero." Duo said, his voice confused.

"Not for long, people will eventually come out of the club and they'd see us if we stayed here." Heero explained. Duo accepted his offer of taking him somewhere else. He intertwined his hand in Heero's and walked along beside him, resting his head on Heero's shoulder.

"Ne....Duo?" Heero asked after a while of walking.

"Yes?"

"Do you....Do you love me?" Heero asked hesitantly.

"Well....I know that I've only just met you, and I know that falling in love so quickly could be seen as wrong but....yes, Heero, I love you." Duo answered. Heero's face was suddenly all smile, he stopped, pulled Duo towards him and hugged him tight. Burying his face into the crook of Duo's neck.

"Thank you..."


Finally Heero and Duo stopped outside a tiny café. Looking up at it Duo rose one elegant eyebrow, glancing over at Heero he couldn't help but wonder what was so special about it.

"It's an all-night cafe, no one's ever in it. The food is surprisingly good and I like it." Heero explained.

"But....What's so special about it Heero?" Duo asked.

"It's just quiet, quiet and empty. I want to be with Duo, and I don't want to have to shout above a hundred other people to have to speak to you -- or to have to look halfway across a crowded room to see you. I want it to just be me and you, alone, together. That's all." Heero said, pulling the man close to him and hugging him tightly. Duo smiled up at him, placing a soft kiss on his lips.

"Then who am I to say no?" Duo whispered.

Together, hand in hand, the two men walked into the small cafe There were no noisy customers, it wasn't crowded and it was just them. Alone. Together. Always together. Just the way it should be.
