The Warrior (songfic with lyrics and music by Nick Gilder and Holly Knight)

[You run, run, runaway it's your Heart that you betray
Feeding on your hungry eyes I bet you're not so civilized
Isn't love primitive a wild gift You wanna give
Break out of captivity
Cause I don't need no stereojungle child
Love is the kill your heart's still wild ]

Heero Yuy had lost contact with most of his fellow pilots after the doctors had 
decided they were were better off using an AI system with their Gundams. Having 
been cut off so abruptly, each of them had fallen into their old patterns simply 
because of the mere familiarity and the pseudo-comfort it provided.

He didn't have these things. All his life had been focused on one mission after 
another. Now there were no missions. No focus. Only memories. 

All at once, he spotted a familiar face, one that wove through out the crowd, 
appearing and vanishing, like a half-recalled song. He made his way toward the 
young pickpocket, and not because of his current job as the mall's security 
guard.

The two of them stood suddenly face to face, the braided ex-pilot looking almost 
feral now that he'd fallen back into his old habits. Then, Duo turned and 
disappeared back into the milling crowd.

[Shootin' at the walls of
heartache Bang, bang, I am the warrior Yes I am the warrior
And heart to heart you win If you survive the
warrior, the warrior ]

Heero frowned as Duo vanished as skillfully as a ninja. He'd have to count on 
more than just all his skills as a security guard and an ex-soldier to seduce 
the young thief. There had been pain in the other boy's eyes and Heero decided 
that his mission would be to erase that pain.

He watched carefully, then spotted Duo once again, this time in the grip of a 
fellow security guard.

"Sir," he told the other guard, "I'll take care of him."

The other guard nodded. "Thanks. It's my lunch break." he handed Duo over to 
Heero and walked off.

[You talk, talk, talk to me Your eyes touch me physically
Stay with me, we'll take the night As passion takes another bite
Oh, who's the hunter Who's the game I feel the beat call your name
I'll hold you close in victory I don't wanna tame your animal style
You won't be caged From the call of the wild ]

Heero led Duo into the mall security office and locked the door.

"What's going on?" he asked, concernedly, "What's with all this?" he reached 
into Duo's pocket and pulled out several wallets, none of which were Duo's.

Duo hung his head. "If I promise never to steal those again, can I go?" he asked.

"Since you probably intend to steal other wallets instead, I don't think so." 
Heero smiled. "Not yet, anyhow. What I want to know is why you don't find 
something better to do."

"Like what? I was trained as a fighter and given a Gundam and then one day I 
find my beautiful Deathscythe in the control of a heartless machine and myself 
back on the streets without even so much as a "thank you for risking your life, 
Duo.". "

Duo looked up at Heero with a pain in his eyes so tangible that Heero flinched.

"What happened to you?" Heero whispered.

"Nobody wanted me." Duo whispered, and at last his tears began to fall.

"I do." Heero whispered, reassuringly. "Come home with me, Duo. I want to make 
you happy."

"Is that your new mission?" Duo asked.

Heero kissed Duo and drew him closer. "Can you think of a better one?"

[Shootin' at the walls of heartache Bang, bang,
I am the warrior Yes I am the warrior
And heart to heart you win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior
I am the warrior!]

Duo shook his head. "No." he whispered, meaning he couldn't think of a better 
mission, not in refusal. His lips were tingling and he touched them 
involuntarily.

Heero realized then, that he'd just given Duo his first kiss. It would not be 
his last. 

Leaving the stolen wallets on the table, he ushered Duo out of the mall and into 
his car. He drove the braided baka to his apartment and led him inside, guiding 
him into the bedroom.

"Don't be afraid, Duo." he whispered, as he slowly undressed the trembling 
bishonen and lowered him onto the bed, caressing him, and soothing away his 
fears.

"Heero..." Duo whispered. "I've never..."

"I know." 

Heero continued to stroke and fondle Duo, touching him with a tenderness that 
surprised the braided beauty. He wanted Duo to be too aroused to be afraid when 
he began to actually make love with him.


[Shootin' at the walls of heartache... the warrior.
I am the warrior. 
And heart to heart you win... heart to heart you win..
If you survive the warrior, the warrior
I am the warrior!
Yes I am the warrior!
And victory is mine!]

Duo arched against Heero's skillful hands, as the former Perfect Soldier now 
security guard brought him to one jolting orgasm after another, whispering words 
of love and compassion each time the braided ex-Shinigami Pilot came.

"Heero," he whispered, with a trembling voice. "Please? Take me."

"Yes, my love." Heero whispered into Duo's ear, as he carefully penetrated him.
