My Beta got me this back on Christmas Eve but life was crazy until now, ah the holidays. It feels weird posting this since here in PA it didn't snow or hasn't yet…I like snow. Anyway for a run down of my wonderfully 2x3 collection check in on my Xanga during January.

WarNinGs: Not much different. Add On's: Limey chapter, if you no like kissing and removal of clothes then na-ah!

Aishi Say

"Some times you can look and touch…nice" This would be me…yeah…fics more thought out.

Paler lips touched darker ones, unsure of the reaction the action would provoke, but he did say to tell him. Nimble fingers curled into warm cloth as their owner willed Trowa to open his mouth with everything but words. Duo reluctantly moved away when strong hands curled around his upper arms, pushing him away, a questioning stare met another. "You did say to tell them remember? This is how I tell people, words are so over rated sometimes. Um…you aren't going to hurt me now or something are you…I'd give Kitty a hair ball big enough to choke him and…" The braided youth stopped talking when Trowa blinked at him before sighing softly, "Sorry."

"I'm not going to hurt you Duo so relax alright?" Trowa nodded when Duo did, even if he still looked worried, "What is it?"

"Well I just and…I love you but I don't want to lose you, my luck sucks you know?" Duo sighed, hanging his head a little, "Both you and Heero have come way too close to dying, stupid curse."

"We're living proof that only a Gundam Pilot can come close to killing another. Duo, I'm not upset or anything alright? I'm not going to push you away just because you think I might, I don't turn on my own." Trowa released his arm, lifting his face with a gentle finger, "I have survived this long and you will not be the one to kill me."

Duo smiled a little, he knew about Trowa's past, he had gunned down members of his core, but they weren't his friends, he was harmless now. Reaching out he stroked a smooth angular cheek, "I don't want to be…I know you care about me but do you want me? If not I understand, trust me I do, so no hard feelings, but if you do that would be nice."

Trowa tilted his head at him, "Shinigami brings death but does not have to love doing so. I do not understand how you stayed so childlike but I am glad you did," Gentle fingers reached up, brushing bangs from his eye, "I never could have changed without help Duo, thank you teaching me the worth of becoming human, Quatre and Kathy couldn't have done it alone." Hands moved, one resting on long cinnamon hair, the other slipping to his shoulder as his head tilted so he could be kissed easily.

Duo closed his eyes at the gentle touch, just like with Heero, hands that could take a life as easily as other's snapped twigs were always so gentle towards friends. His words spoken so softly in that soothing voice of his made him want to curl up in his arms, he had a gift with calming humans as well. The braided youth did not even think about the feel of hands on his shoulder and braid, he did not think at all until soft lips touched his as gently as his fingers had. Duo wrapped his arms around the Earth born pilot who had always mystified him, eyes opening as he pulled away. "Nice way to say yes, very nice, I very much approve." He smiled, fingering long feather soft bangs, "I don't understand how someone can be so cold and so warm at the same time, I don't think I'll ever understand you, but I'll always love you." Leaning down he kissed him tenderly, "Especially if you never stop me from doing that."

Trowa chuckled softly, leaning back against the couch, "I've never stopped you from showing affection before, why start now? I wouldn't do that in front of Kathy before we talk though, she'd hurt you."

Duo smiled, folding his arms on navy blue, "Well you are her baby brother, who can blame her? I'm not worried. She likes me best, and if she gets mad...I'm good at outrunning people bent on chasing me."

"Being a street rat will do that to you, don't worry you are her favorite, Heero's her second." Trowa turned his head but Kitty was still hiding in the kitchen and he frowned, it wasn't like the lion had manners. Blooms weren't big on modesty or being proper, and Kitty was no exception even if he was adopted into the family. Eyes closed with a moan when Duo closed his mouth on his neck clearly wanting his attention, "mmm…yes Duo?"

Duo smiled, lifting his head, "That sounds good do that again? Well, in a minute, first what were you looking at?" Bright eyes turned, "There's nothing there and last time I checked you don't see dead people. You see soon to be dead people but not ghost dead people."

"No I don't see ghosts, I was just wondering what he's up to, he's bit of an attention whore as Kathy puts it." Trowa sighed softly, "I think red heads have more than nasty tempers."

"Don't know any besides Red, Kitty's quiet and there are no crashes so I say forget the fur ball." Duo leaned close, lips brushing an ear, "If you want, I'm more then willing to help you." Dark green eyes gave him an I-bet-you-are look before closing, "Is that a yes or a no kitten?"

Trowa smiled, Duo had called him that before much to Wufei's disappointment, he had smiled then too, it was amusing. Wrapping his arms loosely around Duo's neck he smirked, "You're telling me you can't read me like a book? Tsk, tsk Duo I thought you were good?"

Duo half closed his eyes as lips touched his skin below his eye, it felt better when there were no tears to kiss away. Heero hadn't been one for teasing him with words or his lips at all, but Trowa wasn't Heero, the cat eyed pilot made him think of a cat for a reason. It wasn't just the lean muscled body, easy grace, or the eyes, it was him in general, he had the looks and mannerisms, he had the personality to back the looks. Cats played, it was that simple, be it harmless or not it was simply their nature, Trowa embraced that part of his personally around him more then anyone else. Arching his neck he moaned, clawing warm navy, "I wasn't day dreaming…much."

Trowa smiled, "What were you day dreaming about Duo?" He knew he wasn't the first to think about him, but he was the only one he allowed to.

"Oh just you with kitty ears, a tail, maybe a cute little collar." Duo smiled, stroking his bangs with the back of his knuckles, "and of course only the collar on, bell or no bell?"

"No bell, I like being able to sneak up on people," Trowa answered with a smirk, Duo wasn't the only sneaky one in the group.

"Aw come on, you'd learn to sneak up even with a bell, I know you, quiet is in your blood." Duo smiled, he had always enjoyed playing with Trowa it felt natural, never forced even now. Stroking his neck he smiled again when Trowa purred softly, it tickled his fingertips a bit. Leaning close he tilted his head, long bangs against his cheek and neck, "Can I keep you?" It was from a kids movie he had seen back in October, but he had liked the line and the whispered tone, he had always wanted to ask someone that.

Trowa smiled, leaning against Duo, "If you want." They both knew what was meant by keep and Trowa didn't mind at all, Duo's touch felt good and he wanted to keep him as well.

"Good kitten," Duo teased softly, fingers working on unbuttoning Trowa's shirt the rest of the way. Navy looked good on him but he preferred green, it matched his eyes so much better than blue did. It was strange that Heero often wore green and Trowa blue, he would have to work on that later. Lowering his head he bit down on Trowa's throat, more than pleased by the moan he received, he was all about getting reactions out of people. Duo snaked his right arm under Trowa's shoulders left on the couch, pulling dark cloth away he bit down on the exposed shoulder, getting cry. He lifted his head when he felt breath on his bangs. Kitty was staring at him and Duo would not call his expression a pleased one, "Umm..Tro? I think Kitty has the wrong idea."

Trowa looked over the arm of the couch with a blink, reaching out he scratched an furry ear, "Shh…it's alright Duo's a friend not food."

"Comforting there buddy," Duo muttered under his breath, trying not to move very much, he didn't want anymore misunderstandings.

"Silly thing shoo, go on and no more picking on Duo," Trowa tapped the lion's nose with a graceful finger. Kitty made a sound like a begrudged 'alright' and wandered off into the kitchen again.

Duo watched and just shook his head, Trowa talked to something that could kill them both like it were a child, it just fit somehow, "Is it safe?"

Trowa left his arm slung over the arm of the couch as he turned his attention back to Duo. "Yes Duo, Kitty is a bit protective as well, you can blame Kathy for that, not that she'll admit it."

Duo stroked long bangs with a tender smile, "Everyone who loves you wants to protect you, just like you want to protect all of us." There was nothing he wanted more then to keep him right where he was, safe, happy, and with him forever. Leaning down he kissed the man he knew would kill and die to protect him even when they were just friends. He had never known that kind of complete devotion was capable in someone that cold until he saw cracks in the ice. Left-handed fingers clawed the soft cushion as he deepened the kiss and was met half way, Heero had been just as willing. He had found those deprived of love hungered for it more then those given it all their lives, he was the same way. Mouth moved once again to the other's throat as their right hand moved to his back, left still hanging off the arm of the couch. Nibbling on a collar bone got a moan as fingers clawed his lose shirt, his fingers felt good moving across his skin, even with the shirt still in place.

"I still say we should have left a note and not just left," Quatre said, walking into to the room, looking at Heero.

Duo looked up over the top of the couch, "Welcome home from…wherever."

Wufei crossed his arms, frowning at him, "I told you he would do this and he does as soon as we leave."

Duo sat, arms folding on the back of the couch, "Do what? I've done a lot of stuff today Wufei, you really do need to be more specific."

Trowa sighed right hand on his face, "Duo you know what he means." Hand moved to rest on his chest as dark eyes turned on Wufei, "Now just what have you been accusing me of exactly?"

Quatre moved between them before Wufei could open his mouth, "He had a feeling Duo liked you…sorry for interrupting."

"Interrupting? He jumps your partner on the couch and you apologize to them? I will never understand any of you and this game of musical partners, I am going to bed now." Wufei frowned at Duo before walking off not in the mood to deal with any of this right now.

"Well he's in a mood, you think Sally could fix that Trowa?" Duo asked, looking down at the pilot he had been having fun with.

Trowa sat up, smacking him with a pillow, "Don't start. Is everything alright Quatre?"

"Of course it is Trowa, I'm happy you two are happy, sorry again," Quatre bit his lip, "I assume Kathy will take this better than Wufei?"

"She likes Duo, and Wufei thinks we should be together," Trowa stood, walking up to his partner and pulling him close, "Thank you."

Quatre held him back, "You're my partner Trowa, you helped me regain my humanity as well. Be happy and don't let Katherine yell too much at him for taking you away, someone had to."

Trowa smiled, "I won't, go do whatever it is you should be doing." Quatre smiled as they parted, it was good that everything was working out between them. Leaning down a gentle kiss was placed on a pale cheek, "Good night Quatre."

"Good night Trowa, Duo," Looking to Heero he nodded at his nod before walking away, much happier than Wufei had been.

Heero watched him go, "I know I can trust him to you, I always could trust you." He had learned that before he had learned the other's name, the name was false but the trust never had been,

Trowa nodded, "Thank you, look after Quatre for me, I am sure Wufei is going to yell a lot for a few days."

"He did before…your numbers match but your souls match better, good night the both of you." With a smile the leader of the most feared band of pilots alive walked away, leaving them alone once more.

"You know Heero and I never got interrupted on couches? Huh…oh well, beds are better anyway." Duo walked up beside Trowa, hand on his shoulder, "Or are we calling it a night? Kindda a touching moment there, except for Wufei yelling, again."

"He yells a lot Duo, I'm use to it, you should be by now as well. As for calling it a night…I only sleep when I'm tired and I'm not tired." Trowa didn't have to look at Duo to know he was smiling at that, Duo was a playful guy after all.

"Well then, since neither of us are tired we can work on that, it would be rude to leave you all awake and all alone." Duo took his arm, pleased he would not have to wait until tomorrow to finish what he had started, he hated that. "Mine's farthest from Wufei and thus safest, also closest to food, in the morning this will be a good thing. Come my gun totting kitty, I'm curious to see just how quiet you really are."
