It was already darkening in the rundown neighborhood, when parents brought in their kids and the gangs and drug dealers came out to work the streets. All of this activity was ignored by the strawberry blond as she walked confidentally on the sidewalk, a piece of paper with a hastilly scrawled address held in her grasp.
"Heero..." she thought, her cornflower eyes softening with affection even as her smile turned more dreamy. It had taken over three days to learn his new location, but it was worth it to see her prince once again. As she walked by a group of prostitutes, she sped up with a blush, wondering why he had to choose such a despicable area, despite their being in the middle of a war and Heero had to hide well since he was a gundam pilot.
Arriving to the apartment complex, she hurried inside and up the creaky, mossy stairs. Four flights of steps later, she walked down the filthy hallway and stood outside the apartment that was informed to house Heero.
Sigh happily, she raised her hand to knock on the weak door, but paused as she heard a peculiar sound, like a faint thump followed by a scraping noise. A boy's deep voice came through the door mockingly, "Naa naa, no way you can do that, Hee-chan!"
:Hee-chan?: Relena thought with no little surprise. To her knowledge, only one other pilot ever called the wing pilot that, and it was with an irritated huff that she believed he shouldn't be there.
"Hm... just watch me... Duo, spread your legs a bit more," Heero's slightly nasal voice was muffled by the rotting wood of the door.
Duo whined, "I can't; that's as far as they go!" This was followed by a snort of amusement and Heero mumbled something too low for the princess to hear.
"Oh, shut up." Duo's voice grumbled then he gave a grunt, "Hang on, maybe if I-"
"OUCH! Duo!" Heero snapped as the other pilot laughed, "Sorry, Hee-chan... hold on a minute... got it-ow ow ow! I pulled a hammy!"
Heero spoke with barely concealed awe, "I didn't know you could flex like that."
"My body can move in ways we've yet to explore, Heero," Duo's voice purred with obvious inneudo.
By this time, Relena had turned bright red in the face at the scenarios her mind happily supplied her with. She stepped back from the door in preparation to leave before she held herself still. There was no way her Heero was with that... that... that boy instead of her. It was probably something completely innocent, she reasoned with herself. After all, how could her prince choose a street rat, albeit a skilled pilot, over her?
Resolution hardening, she readied her hand to knock again when Heero's voice caught her hearing, "I can't flip the wheel like this."
Relena laughed silently to herself and burst into the room with relief coursing through her blood, before it turned cold at the sight that greeted her.
Both boy s looked up at the intruder from their polka dotted game mat, watching her turn red, then pale, and finally settling on a green in an amazing record time. The girl took in the 'innocent' children's game, the clothes thrown about, and the two very naked boys in humanly impossible positions. Duo, garbed only in his socks and cross, grinned at the girl's expression while Heero glared at the blond, wearing his spandex short and nothing else. "Do you mind?" he growled out and gave a pleased look to his nude partner when the blond ran out of the apartment, slamming the door shut behind her.
Duo blew his bangs off his face and winked to the dark blue-eyed pilot, "She should'uv knocked, ne Hee-chan?" A smirk and a pinch in Duo's inner thigh was Heero's response.

AN: A response to a snippet challenge made by Shi-dude dog years ago. I hope it lives up to her expectations, as it was a joy to make during Psychology class. No wonder I barely passed with a D there ^_^ Ciao!
