Listening In

"Ack! Jesus, 'Ro, you scared the shit out of me! You are so lucky I didn't drop those, it took me forever to get them right!"

"...Duo. The knife?"

"Oh. Sorry about that, babe. But you can't sneak up on me like that! Did I cut your neck? I could kiss it better if you wanted..."

"Stop smirking like that, Duo. It's scary."

"You know you love it. What are you doing here anyways?"

"Duo. It's my kitchen. In my house. I live here."

"Oh, yeah. Forgot about that. But I didn't think you were gonna be home for hours!"

"And that's why you decided to start... baking?"

"..."

"..."

"Fine! I was nervous."

"You were... nervous?"

"Yes! You know if you weren't Preventor's they would totally bust your ass for that stupid move after school today. I still can't believe you did that to Lucas, 'Ro."

"He deserved it."

"I don't think the devil would deserve that."

"I warned him. And I didn't hurt him that bad."

"'Ro. You beat him within an inch of his life."

"It was more than an inch."

"He's in the hospital."

"It's only a concussion."

"His jaw is dislocated!"

"He had his hand in your pants!"

"I thought you were over this jealousy thing!"

"Not when there are dumbasses that think they can touch my lover's ass!"

"'Ro, I can take care of myself."

"I don't want you to have to! ...Damn."

"...You make it really fucking hard to stay mad at you when you say shit like that."

"That's good. I don't want you to be mad at me..."

"Mm. Owch! Not the stove, it's hot!"

"Fridge, better?"

"Oo! Yeah. Much."

"So. When are you going to move in with me?"

"...What?"

"You're over here enough."

"Heero. I have 3 cats, a dog, and-"

"And a rabbit that seems to be related to Satan. I know."

"You seriously want me to stay?"

"I wouldn't ask if I didn't. And you know, it could make certain things much... easier.

"You know... Now that you put it that way, it sounds like a pretty good idea."

"That a yes? Mmph!"

"Of course that's a yes, you idiot! Now, let's go get my stuff!"

"Wait."

"Uhm, yeah?"

"You going to explain why when I got here you had your ear all over the cookies?"

"Oh, that! I was listening to them."

"The cookies... talk to you?"

"No, dumbass. You listen to make sure they aren't still sizzling, cause if they are, that means they aren't done and you have to-- You can stop mocking me any time now, Yuy."

"Mocking you? I would never."

"The hell you wouldn't."

"...Love you."

"Yeah, yeah, babe. And I love you too, you fucking asshole."
