"Hm." Heero suddenly stopped glaring at said girl, freeing her from his gaze and freeing her from his promise of pain yet to come if she didn't get away from the braided baka.

"Don't 'hm' me. Why were you glaring at her?"

"She got too close to you." Duo scowled at Heero's words.

"She got too close to me? What the hell does THAT mean?"

"It means she was standing too close to you and I didn't like it."

"So you're my keeper now?"

"You are mine baka." With just those four words, Duo set off in a rage.

"I'm no one's Heero. And I'm certainly not yours. What the hell do you think I am? A chunk of meat? I don't belong to anyone but myself! But you, you belong to someone. You belong to Wufei!"

"Hmph! I do not! Wufei isn't mine. He's with Sally." Duo looked surprised.

"He is?" Heero nodded.

"Then why do you always give each other a look, run off, and by the time you come back you're sweaty and smelling of all things nasty that I don't want to be thinking about?"

Heero smirked. "Because Wufei is my sparring partner and there are times when he needs to signal to me that he's free to go down to the gym. It doesn't happen to often."

"It does when I'm around." Duo muttered. Thinking of all the times when his partner ran off and refused to tell him where he was going or where he had gone.

"Fine all take you're word for it with Wufei, but what about Relena? She always needs you around."

Heero sighed, getting a headache just thinking about the girl in question.

"Relena is just a friend Duo. She needs us to bodyguard her at certain events because she needs the protection."

"That doesn't explain why you always run to her when she calls. I bet she has you wrapped around her little finger."

Heero pinched the bridge of his nose and tried to think of an informative explanation to supply Duo with. How could the baka be such a... well, an idiot who was oblivious to all his advances.

"Duo, if I don't go to Relena right away when she needs me, she tracks me down and calls me with that high pitched squawking of hers. It's better if I just go on duty for a while and sneak away when she doesn't realize I don't have any intention of being with her."

"You're just saying that!"

"No, I'm not. Ask Wufei. He has to go with me on those missions when you can't." Duo thought that over and decided to buy it for now. Heero did have a tendency to sneak off when Relena wasn't paying attention.

"Fine, I'll believe you for now about that too, but I'm still not yours." Heero couldn't help but smirk at the indignant look on Duo's face and stepped a bit closer.

"Is that right?" He asked and was two feet away from Duo.

"That's right. You don't own me and you have nothing I want from you any way." Duo stated and stood up on his toes.

"Oh really?" Heero asked and step forward again until only a few inches remained and got in Duo's face.

"Really." Duo said staring into Heero's dark blue eyes. 'His eyes are really pretty... WHAT the HELL AM I SAYING?'

"Then I guess I have no choice but to prove it to you." Heero said softly.

"And how are you going to do that?" Duo asked a bit weirded out by Heero's close proximity.

"Like this." Heero whispered and kissed Duo's soft, warm lips. The kiss was warm and tender, soft and demanding, loving yet seeking for more as Heero's tongue darted in for a quick taste, then pulling back out.

As Heero pulled back, he smiled at the dazed look Duo's face contorted to and was pleased even more when Duo practically collapsed against Heero's chest.

Breathing heavily, Duo tried to get more air into his lungs but his chest was too tight. His stomach fluttered and his heart was hammering in his chest. 'All that from a simple kiss', he thought. 'No, all that from a kiss from Heero,' he amended.

"I don't think you convinced me yet." Duo said and Heero looked a bit disappointed, making Duo quick to add his next few thoughts. "But I'm willing to try something new."

Heero grinned. "You mean you're willing to actually see what I have been offering all this time?"

"That would be a start." Duo grinned back at him.

"As long as I can make you mine, I'd be willing to try anything."

"Then kiss me again." Duo asked and wrapped his arms around Heero's waist.

"With pleasure."

And he did.
