01. I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE Unfortunately, you can't keep lying to your partner/friend/family anymore. You just don't feel the same for them anymore.
02. I WOULD KILL YOU The person who means so much to you has done something completely unforgivable and now it's time to make sure they know where they stand. You would kill them if you ever got the chance.
03. I LOVE YOU, BUT... A bittersweet love confession. You know you love this person more than anything, but you're not sure you can give them what they need.
04. I DON'T TRUST YOU No matter how you feel about this person, you really can't trust them anymore.

06. TROUBLE You're in trouble and you might not make it through. You need to let at least one person know how you feel before it's too late though.
07. CRIME CONFESSION You did something you weren't proud of and now it's time to admit it.
08. DEMONS We've all got our demons and we've all got our own personal nightmares we have to face, but this time? You can't hold it all back.

15. I'M SORRY You said something or did something horrible and now it's time to ask for forgiveness.

18. LET'S RUN AWAY You want to just get out, leave everything behind and be with this one person for the rest of your life.
19. ASHAMED Either you're ashamed of something they have done or something you did, either way you need to bring it up.

Wufei laughed, too. He couldn't help it, when Duo was so happy. It was infectious. "In that case, after I have slept in for the first time in at least a decade, I will go retrieve my things from storage," he promised, smiling warmly as he snagged the conditioner and started massaging it into Duo's hair. He'd made a mess of it and he'd never be able to untangle it without some kind of conditioner.

"I'll help." Duo offered, though it was less a question and more of a statement. He would go and help. He wanted to. They were at the start of the honeymoon phase of their relationship and being without Wufei now seemed... wrong. Being the clingy type was never Duo's style, and yet he had no plans of removing himself from Wufei's side for the next while. He would be forced to once Wufei returned to work though. Duo would begrudge that deeply. He was going to kick up a fuss. Maybe he ought to warn Wufei? Nah. That could be a surprise for later.

For now hands were back in his hair leaving Duo groaning softly. "I could really get used to this..."

"There's not much to help with," Wufei admitted, some of the laughter dying away, as he realized quite suddenly he was not going to get away with keeping his little secret. One that he was sure Duo would balk at, but... "Just my altar and a duffel bag of clothes in my storage unit. Everything else is already here."

And then he held his breath and kept massaging Duo's hair, hoping he wasn't about to get scolded too harshly.

Duo's eyes had fallen closed and remained closed even as Wufei spoke words that, for a few seconds, deeply confused him. Just why was Wufei's things in storage and just why did he have so few...?

"Wufei..." He started in a calm and even tone. "Where's the rest of your stuff?"

He let out a the breath on a sigh. "Floating in the debris field from my colony, I suspect." A bit uncalled for, maybe, but it wasn't exactly the first... discussion he'd ever had about his lack of material possessions. Or where he chose to store them.

He sighed. Eyes opened to find Wufei's. It was uncalled for. Duo'd had no intentions of making Wufei feel bad about anything. How could he? A former streetrat had no leg to stand on when it came to other people's living conditions.

His gaze shifted away for a moment. "I'm sorry. Didn't realise."

And now he felt like an ass, too. He slid his hands over Duo's back, pressed a kiss to his shoulder. "It's true that I haven't... rebuilt. Sally's always hounding me about it, so it's a bit of a sore spot," he admitted softly, and then decided to just. Come clean. "I've been living in hotels since the Mariemaia uprising, and before that I was staying with a distant branch of my family in China. I've not had the time nor the inclination to settle." But that was changing, with Duo. He had an anchor point now, a reason to call Brussels home more than any of the other places he was oft shipped off to. "That's part of why I'm having such difficulty being on desk duty while Sally's pregnant. It's not the work that's painful, its that I'm stuck in one place."

Well what was he supposed to say yo that? Did Wufei even realise he was contradicting himself? He was putting Duo in a complicated situation here where he wasn't sure if he should push or pull.

"... Then it'd be wrong for me to try and keep you here, huh?" where honeymoon phases supposed to only last a night? He'd never had one before, but even under the warm spray of the shower he was feeling decidedly cold. "I get it. Settling down, sticking in one place, it can be hard to get used to." Duo shook his head and gave a gentle smile before he pulled away from Wufei just a little. "I get it."

When he pulled away, Wufei stepped closer, slid his arms around him for a firm squeeze. "Duo," he said firmly, because he could feel the misunderstanding looming there between them this time, and he was going to drop-kick it in the throat if he had to. "I want to stay. I don't... I've not looked at myself long enough to understand what it is I've been running from but I know that whatever it is, I will be safe with you while I navigate it. I want a home, but to be quite frank the last one blew itself up in my name. I am afraid of losing anything new that I build," but you couldn't just waltz up and kill a god of death, now could you? "I'm trusting you not to die."

Duo's eyes fell closed a soft huff of a laugh left his lips when he was caught before he could pull away too far. Truthfully, he really didn't want to misunderstand. He didn't want to assume. He was being as cautious as he could be. Because he wanted to do right by Wufei. He wanted...

He wanted to just grab Wufei and beg him to stay. But couldn't quite get the words out. So he just stood there and listened... and finally wrapped his arms around Wufei and pulled him in tight.

"You think it's any better for me?" Duo asked thickly. "Near everyone I've cared about've died..." Because of me... Duo didn't say those words. He swallowed them down before they could leave his mouth. "So I'm trusting the same of you, Wu. You're not allowed to die on me. And I'll do my best to stick around too."

He relaxed when Duo hugged him, leaning in for a soft kiss. "Then we're agreed; I'll stay, and neither of us will die." He smiled softly, running his fingers down Duo's shoulders. "And lucky you, I'm stuck on a desk for the foreseeable future, where the only threat to my health and well being are Sally's mood swings -- which I never said were a real thing," he gives Duo a look, one that says he's learned that lesson the hard way, "and paper cuts."

And Heero finding out Wufei had been using him as a scapegoat, but that was a problem for Next Week Wufei. Probably. He hoped.

That got a laugh out of him. There was no need for the look, he wouldn't have wanted to incur Sally's wrath by saying anything on the subject of mood swings. Duo was starting to relax again. As Wufei's fingers ran over his shoulders it was as if they were easing the tension out of them at the same time.

"If you're staying, we should think about getting outta the shower before we use up all the hot water for the entire street." And prune up.

Wufei preens a little from getting that laugh, smiling as he feels the tension fading between them, and it gets... comfortable again. Delightful, even. "Probably," he concedes with a sigh, reluctantly pulling away to wash himself the rest of the way off. "Food, then sleep," he ads, mostly to remind himself not to just faceplant in the bed the second he sees it.

"Fresh sheets." Duo added. He'd not wanted them to break apart but it was the right thing to do, they needed to clean off. And he needed to finish getting the soap out of his hair.

"How bout you get food and I'll fix the bed?" Duo offered with a grin before he stepped out of the shower and grabbed a couple towels. One he lashed around his waist and the other, larger towel he used on his hair.

Wufei hummed in agreement to the comment about the sheets. They'd made a proper mess of them, and he didn't really feel like sleeping in a damp patch of sweat all night. "That sounds perfect," he agreed, as he turned off the water and followed Duo out, taking just one towel and drying off his hair gently while his body, for the most part, air-dried. He only had to swipe his towel over a few areas when he was done with his hair, and tossed it over the curtain rail. "Any preferences on what I make?" he asked as he made his way into the bedroom, digging out his silk pajamas from his bag and pulling them on.

Duo followed Wufei into the bedroom and dropped onto the end of the bed. He had his hair over one shoulder and rubbing it dry with the towel. It was the worst part of washing his hair. It took forever to dry. And blow drying it took an age as well so he was generally doomed when it came to washing his hair before bed. It was something he'd normally avoid.

"A quick sandwich or something?" He suggested. A sandwich was filling enough and light on the stomach that it wouldn't mess with their ability to sleep.

"As you wish," Wufei agreed lightly, buttoning up his pajamas as he padded out of the room to fix them both a light dinner. He returned about ten minutes later with two sandwiches, some potato chips, and a beer for each of them. "What are your feelings on eating in bed?" he asked lightly.

It was important to note that his idea of what constituted a sandwich was perhaps not what Duo was expecting. There was bread, there was meat (plucked off the remains of a rotisserie chicken in Duo's fridge), there was a little mayo. But there were also orange segments and cracked black pepper, possibly a rogue olive, something green that probably wasn't actually lettuce. It really looked like he just opened the fridge and put things at random between two slices of bread.

In that ten minutes Duo had managed to get the bed changed and a pair of pj pants on. He usually went without a top because it made him feel like he was being strangled if he turned to much in the night and it bunched up. As for his hair, he'd dried it as well as he could and rebraided it loosely. It would need to be washed again in the morning but it was fine.

He was sat cross legged on the end of the bed tying the end of his braid when Wufei came back. "Eating in bed is fine with me." He spoke cheerfully, a grin forming until he caught sight of the sandwich and raised a questioning brow at Wufei. "Uh... Just whatcha got there Wu?"

Wufei set their beers -- caps still firmly in place -- on the bed and offered Duo one of the plates. "Thanksgiving Sandwiches," he replied, as if it were obvious, and crawled onto the bed next to him, as if this were the most normal and tame thing to serve someone.

He picked his own up and took a big bite. The way his face changed with every chew was... magical.

Duo just watched with a look of barely contained amusement.

Acter scooting up the bed and grabbing one of the beers, he had to ask. "How's the sandwich?" even as he made a grab for some of the chips.

"An abomination," he mumbled around his bite, but forced himself to swallow it anyway. "They always sounded delicious when Sally talked about them," he grumbled, holding his up to eye it critically. "And she wasn't pregnant at the time," before Duo could ask.

He sighed heavily. "Well. I suppose I should make you something more edible. I can eat them so it won't go to waste," since it was his mistake, anyway.

Duo just rolled his eyes and pulled the sandwich his way. Removing the top later he took everything but the chicken off of it, then shoved a handful of the chips on instead. With a grin he put the other slice of bread back on and smooshed it down with a satisfying crunch.

"Everyone has their own taste, Wu. But this is fine!" and then Duo lifted the remade sandwich up to his lips and took a big crunchy bite.

Wufei watched him, mouth hanging open as he'd been about to take another bite, watching Duo smoosh the chips onto his chicken and press it into a sandwich. He was pretty sure that still counted as an abomination, but shrugged and took another bite of his own. "That's one way to look at it," he agreed after he'd swallowed. The second bite hadn't been so bad, without any olives ruining things. So he opened his own, too, and scraped the little nuggets of anger out of his sandwich before going back in for another bite.

"You should do the same. It's actually pretty good!" Duo gave Wufei's sandwich a suspicious look. "That can't taste good..." And there was absolutely no way Wufei could be pregnant, no matter how hard they could try, there was no way it would happen. So maybe Wufei just had weird taste buds? Duo was learning so many new things about this wonderful, weird man.

"The oranges are... unpleasant," he agreed, opening his sandwich a second time to scrape more out, and, yes, he put the chips in, smooshed it down.

And this time when he took a big bite, there was a hum of genuine approval. It had no right to taste that good, but it was delightful.
