Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Fear of dying ❯ Marshmallow Kisses ( Chapter 1 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Required disclaimer: We do not and never will own Gundam Wing. We do not profit from the characters. Once, when I was little, I caught a butterfly and kept it in a jar. Then I realized that I didn't own that either. I let it go. Now I'm heavily depressed. I miss you, butterfly.

Summary: Wonder how Duo and Quatre got together before Christmas Secrets? Well here is the prequel. It will help you understand the end of s'mores a bit better.

It wasn't suppose to happen that way, he knew it, but he couldn't stop himself. Quatre had looked so innocent as he crouched on the floor picking up the marshmallows that had fallen from the bag. He had a marshmallow sticking out of his mouth as he concentrated at the task and he was flustered, cheeks tinged a bit pink. Duo had bent down to help just as Quatre reach for the same marshmallow. He looked up at Duo with a curious expression, eyebrow raised, marshmallow still held between those lips... That's all it took. Duo leaned in and pressed his lips to the blonde's, effectively tasting Quatre and marshmallow.

God was it good. It was perfect...

Actually, Duo knew it was completely and totally wrong. He couldn't be doing this. He jerked back in shock, eyes wide, and his mouth dropped open. "Uhhh.."

Quatre froze when Duo suddenly pulled away. He was embarrassed that he was so startled he dropped the bag when Duo walked in. But what caught him off guard even more was the kiss. He'd popped one of the marshmallows in his mouth-five second rule-and looked up when Duo started to help him pick up the mess. It was the sweetest thing he'd ever tasted. The combination of the sugar in the marshmallow and the braided boy's lips was intoxicating. He was just leaning forward into it when Duo's abrupt retreat jarred him back to reality. The blush on his face deepened as he looked shock on the other pilot's face. "Umm." He chuckled hesitantly and scooped up the rest of the mess and stood. "Thank you. For helping me clean up." He fidgeted, waiting to see what Duo would do next.

Duo stood slowly and shoved his hands in his pocket as his face turned a deep crimson. "It was my fault anyway." He studied the floor intently, afraid to glance at the other boy's face. "I, uh, should go, so you can finish what you were doing..."

"I was just getting a snack." The blonde shrugged and scuffed his toe on the floor. "You just surprised me. That's all." He could feel his face go hot as his blush deepened. "You ok?"

Duo turned away a bit, hiding his face from the blonde. "Yeah, you?"

"Yeah." He shifted and put the bag on the counter. "Duo?"

He glanced awkwardly over his shoulder. "Quatre?"

"I... Uh. Well." He bit his lip. "Want a marshmallow?" Quatre pulled one out of the bag and held it out.

Seeing the marshmallow held out in the blonde's hand made him blush again and he took it casually, stuffing it in his mouth before something else could come out. Trowa had once told him that when he was nervous he had 'verbal diarrhea.' He wanted to cut off anything before it could help itself from his mouth and embarrass him further.

Quatre smirked at how fast Duo snatched the puff of sugar from his hand. He took a deep breath and asked before the boy could run away. "Why, Duo?"

The braided pilot had just pushed off from the counter, heading for the door, when the blonde's words hit him and he froze. He stared down at the floor, swallowing the suddenly tasteless marshmallows before he answered. "I really like marshmallow." Duo almost smacked himself. 'I really like marshmallows? What the fuck, Duo.' He took a deep breath. "I mean... just.... I'm sorry."

He chuckled. This was probably one if the first times the blonde had ever seen Duo so out of sorts with himself. "It's ok." He turned his back to the pilot and started fiddling with the bag to hid his blush that returned. "I don't blame you."

"Huh?" The brunette lifted his face to study the blonde's back.

"Idon'blameyou," he mumbled quickly, busying himself with closing the bag and putting it back in the cabinet. "I like them, too." He left it up to Duo to decide what them meant.

Duo got an odd expression on his face and frowned. He opened his mouth, then closed it again, then tilted his head and stared at the blonde. "Huh?" He was practically oozing with intelligence today, he could feel it.

"Nothing. Just forget I said anything." He mentally kicked himself. Duo probably meant nothing by that kiss anyways. It would be just like him to go for a marshmallow in someone else's mouth. Totally normal for the braided pilot. Probably just did it to get a rise out of him or something. "Sorry."

Duo blinked then raised an eyebrow. "Why do you have to be sorry? I molested you, remember?" He looked back at the spot on the floor that seemed to be very interesting today.

Quatre turned and looked at Duo who suddenly seemed really interested in the floor. He checked to make sure he hadn't dropped any more or missed any. "Yeah, well it wasn't completely one-sided." He chewed on his bottom lip and studied his toes.

A strange look crossed his face before Duo bit his lip - hard. He looked up at Quatre, then back to the floor. "Don't. Please."

He was right. Duo really hadn't meant anything by it. His face felt hot, but this time the blush was from embarrassment more than anything else. "Right. Sorry." He slapped his thighs and pushed away from the counter. "I won't do it again." Why did his chest feel so tight all of a sudden? Duo just didn't want him to do it again. "I'll see you later, then." He scooted past the boy still staring at the floor. He was probably angry with him. "I've got work to do anyways."

Slowly Duo reach out and grabbed the blonde's chin as he passed, pulling him close enough they were nose to nose. "I'm sorry." He whispered it into the other boy's lips before he kissed him again, longer this time.

He held himself very still. Wasn't he just told not to do it again? What was going on here? He couldn't help it as his traitorous body reacted before his mind could catch up and he began to return the kiss. When Duo finally pulled away he stared at him, a mix of shock and pleasure on his face. "What are you sorry for? You told me don't. I think I'm confused." He held a hand to his lips and couldn't help but smirk when he thought of how that compared to the one with the marshmallow.

Duo turned his face away from the blonde and bit his lip again, wincing when he tasted something metallic. "I'm sorry. I should go."

"Don't be sorry." He frowned when he saw him wince. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm ok." He gave the blonde a smile, glancing at him sideways through his bangs. "I gotta go, just forget this ok?"

His chest clenched again at the look on Duo's face. "Uh. Yeah. Sure." Quatre gave him a small smile and nodded. "Right, well. I'll see you later." He turned and fled the room, making his way down the hall and to his own room before he changed his mind. He enjoyed that kiss way too much to simply forget it. Mentally berating himself as he closed the door, he rested his head against the cool wood as he locked it. Stupid. He said don't. Why did you do that again? He sighed and willed his heart rate to slow down before turning his attention to the work he'd left on his desk earlier.
