Kisses

Heero looked up as his office door opened. His partner slouched in, closing the door behind him and then went to slump over his desk.

�Duo?� Heero asked cautiously, he had never seen his cheerful partner quite like this.

�Yeah?� Even his voice sounded depressed.

�What�s wrong with you?�

�Trowa said my kisses tasted stale.� Heero blinked. He hadn�t heard that right, had he?

�What?�

�Trowa said my kisses tasted stale. And Quatre said they were unpalatable- whatever that means.� Heero knew what it meant. What he had trouble getting his mind around was the fact that Duo was kissing Trowa and Quatre. He had though those two were in a relationship- so why were they kissing Duo? Unless it was a threesome? His mind nearly shut down with that mental image.

�Uh,� he tried to think of something to comfort Duo. �I�m sure they aren�t that bad...�

�Fei said he didn�t even want one.� Duo had tried to kiss Chang? Well, that Heero knew would be a disaster even if the former Altron pilot wasn�t dating Cathy. Good lord- if Cathy found out... �And Cathy said that she�d already had too many.� Duo added.

Duo had been kissing Cathy?! And Chang had left him in one piece? No way! Heero knew he wasn�t really good with social interactions yet, but he knew that kissing other people�s significant others was a big no-no. There had to be something else going on.

�Duo- why were you...uh... giving out kisses?�

�I was trying to get other people�s opinion on them.�

Ah, okay. Still odd, but this WAS Duo.

�Hey!� Duo jumped out of his seat and went to perch on Heero�s desk. �You could give me an opinion!�

�Uh Duo...� Heero leaned back in his chair. �I don�t think...�

�Oh, come on Heero! Please?� Duo begged. He leaned forward, trapping Heero in his seat. His eyes were wide and pleading.

�What makes you think I�d be a good judge of kisses?�

�Why wouldn�t you be? It�s a matter of taste, not experience!�

�All right.� Before he could chicken out, Heero reached up and pulled Duo�s mouth down to his.

It was very very good.

He released Duo a minute later, flushing slightly.

�I think they�re fine,� Heero muttered. Duo was also flushing, his eyes wide.

�Uh, Heero?� Duo reached into his pocket and pulled out a bag of foil-wrapped chocolates. �I meant these kisses.�

�Oh,� Heero felt himself turn redder. Oops. Duo noted the change in color with a sense of sudden satisfaction. He reached out and tugged Heero�s chair towards himself, pulling the unresisting boy closer.

�But I think I like yours much better. Can I get another taste?� He dropped down onto Heero�s lap and proceeded to try again.

�What do you think?� Heero whispered against his mouth when they finished.

�Delicious.� Duo grinned inwardly as he tasted Heero�s mouth again. He owed Quatre for this idea. Maybe he�d send him a big bag of chocolate kisses.
