Love Takes Time
By d_huron


"I had it all
But I let it slip away
Couldn't see that I treated you wrong
Now I wander around
Feeling down and cold
Trying to believe that you're gone"
Heero looked around his tiny apartment, the empty filling within his heart grew with each passing day. He was not happy, plain and simple. The war had ended six months ago and he left everyone to go and find himself. He had left 'him' not knowing what to do. The single picture frame called to him, within was the only photo of Duo he had. The braided boy was sleeping peacefully on a large bed, a graceful smile upon his lips. The picture brought a pang to his heart.
"Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
Love takes time
I don't wanna be here alone"
The small apartment seemed to be a jail to the ex-pilot. He couldn't breathe, it was suffocating him. //I need him. Why was I such a fool?// He berated himself over his stupid mistakes. He looked at the printout on the coffee table, it contained the whereabouts of Duo. The doubts filled his mind once again, but he finally decided he must try.
"Losing my mind
From this hollow in my heart
Suddenly I'm so incomplete
Lord I'm needing you now
Tell me how to stop the rain
Tears are falling down endlessly"
Duo was still lying in his bed, even though it was way passed morning. He had not done much since Heero vanished. Depression hit him hard, every night he cried himself to sleep, asking what he did wrong. //I want you back// He thought over and over until he fell back asleep to his troubled dreams. They always started out perfect, but lately they would end with Heero turning around and walking off into the light.
"Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
Love takes time
I don't wanna be here alone"

The five pilots were celebrating at Quatre's massive estate. They had ended the war and the time to rejoice was at hand. Everyone was talking to each other and joking around about funny memories. Duo stood in the corner waiting for Heero to join them. During the war they had become lovers. Duo remembered that night, after a very difficult mission emotionally they found comfort in each other. As time went on, Duo realized he was falling in love for the first time. It scared him, but he went head on into the unknown, putting his heart at stake.

He saw movement by the door, it was Heero and he was packed.

'Where are you going Heero?' Duo tried in vain to keep the shock and hurt out of his voice.

Heero looked at Duo for a few minutes, not sure what to say. //I am so confused//. 'I'm leaving. Enjoy the party.' With those parting words he opened and walked out the door without looking back.
"You might say that it's over
You might say that you don't care
You might say you don't miss me
You don't need me
But I know that you do and I feel that you do
Inside"

Duo heard someone knocking on the door. Groaning from the bed, he got up and walked into the living room. While yawning the yanked the door opened, and fell on his butt from shock. Standing in front of him was the one person responsible for all the turmoil he had been through for the last six months.

'He..Heero?'

The tears fell from his eyes again and he sobbed on the floor not meeting those piercing eyes.

Heero looked at the sobbing boy and he felt the pain in his heart grow to the point of tears. He bent down and picked Duo up from the floor and into his arms. Kicking the door shut, he hugged the shaking body and walked over to what appeared to be the bedroom and gentle placed Duo down. He kneeled on the floor, beside the bed, smoothing the bangs from that face.

'I am sorry. I was a fool to leave, I was scared and confused' He blinked back the tears and continued, 'Please give me another chance. Please take me back, I realized the whole in my heart was because I did not have you in my life. Ai shiteru.' He looked down at the floor, trying to reign in his emotions.

Duo looked at the crestfallen Heero in a state of shock. He was not sure he heard what he thought he heard, but seeing Heero trying to control his emotions was proof enough. He leaned over on the bed and raised Heero's chin with his fingers, their eyes met.

'I've always loved you. Please don't leave me again'

His other hand reached down to grasped Heero's. He tugged on the hand, needing Heero. Heero felt himself being pulled on top of Duo, their mouths meet for the first time in six months. The passion within the kiss threatened to melt them both. Hands moved over bodies removing clothing while the kiss deepened. Duo's hand moved down to the waistband of the silk boxers, slipping underneath the material he took Heero into his hand while the other hand was slowly pushing the boxers down and off. The soft moans music to his ears, soon he too was naked.

'Where..' Heero began to ask, but Duo simply gestured towards the nightstand, unable to form words.

After Heero had thought Duo was prepared, he coated himself with the lubricant and positioned himself at the tight entrance. As he slowly entered Duo, his eyes never stopped looking into the violet orbs, he let all the masks fall allowing Duo to see the true person beneath the solider. Duo's already passion-filled body nearly melted when he saw the love and other emotions shining in the cobalt eyes. He let his heart shine through his eyes. Both were nearing the edge, eyes locked never straying away. Duo arched up when his arousal was taken into one hot hand and was pumped to the rhythm of Heero's thrusts. All too soon Duo was pushed off the cliff, moaning Heero's name reverently as his orgasm hit him hard. He felt and heard Heero's climax.

Heero slowly withdrew from Duo and laid down next to him, pulling the shaking body into his arms. 'I love you, I am sorry it took so long' He was silenced with a kiss.

' love you too. Sometimes love takes time.' They soon fell asleep dreaming of their bright future together.
"Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
Love takes time
I don't wanna be here alone"
