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.
05. SACRIFICE You're going to sacrifice yourself, for the person you're talking with or for the good of all humanity. You want them to know the reasons and that there's no stopping you.
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.
09. I'M PREGNANT... Now's not the best time for it maybe or maybe you're just nervous how your partner will react, but they need to hear it.
10. BETRAYAL You've betrayed this person and you have to tell them the truth, no more running from it
11. CHEATED You've been unfaithful and it's time to tell your lover.

13. AFRAID Something has you deathly afraid and you need to talk about it.
14. HELP ME You need someone to help you, bad. You can't do it alone anymore, you've tried.
15. I'M SORRY You said something or did something horrible and now it's time to ask for forgiveness.
16. YOU WERE A MISTAKE Sorry, but whoever you're talking to was the biggest mistake of your life or maybe it was just something you did together.
17. NOT WHO I SAY I AM You're so far from who they think you are, you need to finally tell the truth.
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.
20. CAN'T REMEMBER The person standing in front of you looks so happy to see you, so relieved, but how do you tell them you can't remember a thing about them?
21. HOW COULD YOU You don't understand how they could treat you like they have, do what they have done when you've done nothing but be good to them.
22. YOUR CHOICE Either choose an option from above, mix and match, or make up your own idea.

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.

"Sometimes simple is best, Wu." Duo grinned, happy that he'd taken the fruit off of the sandwich.

"Can't say I've done this with chicken though. Cheese? Hell yeah. But just a straight sandwich with chips on? Reminds me of being a kid."

"I suppose it comes as no surprise that I live on take out," he chuckled between bites, pleased that his 'sandwich' had turned out to be edible with only a few modifications. It was progress, probably. It hadn't come out of a box, at least.

"Get used to cooking then." Duo laughed as he uncapped his beer and took a swig. "I kinda like to cook." Not that a chip sandwich was high dining, but he'd learned to cook for himself and wasting money on take out just seemed dumb to him. Not that he was going to come out and say that to Wufei!

"Maybe I can learn some dishes you like? Do you have a favourite? Any comfort food I should know about?" Duo had shuffled some more so that now he had his back to the headboard and his legs stretched out over the bed. He was as comfortable as he could be.

"I'll have to take lessons," Wufei decided lightly, finally opening his beer and taking a swig. "My favorite comfort food is congee, and it's one of the few things I do know how to make for myself, but we'll have to get a rice cooker first," not him, but the both of them. Together.

The thought settled through him, warm and pleasant, and there he went blushing again.

"Ahh a rice cooker, huh? Guess we could get one of those." He chewed thoughtfully for a moment, thinking it over. He'd considered getting one when he was fixing up his kitchen but realised he didn't eat enough rice to justify it. But if it was something Wufei wanted... He could learn to make congee.

"Yeah, we should get one." Duo grinned. "First we need to get you settled in." He looked around his room, took a drink of his beer and then finally returned his gaze to Wufei. "I've a spare room... Would you want me to set that up as a space for you or..." He smiled. "Can I assume when you said you wanted to stay you meant every night too?"

Wufei nodded, alternating beer and sandwich. "I'll get it tomorrow," he offered. "I can get a fancy one, that you can make all the trendy foods they show in the social media videos," he suggested lightly. "Like inch-thick pancakes, and simmered tripe, and..." he filled his mouth with another bite, forcibly stopping himself from telling Duo about any of the other weird foods he'd seen on the internet.

"If you want me out of your bedroom, you're going to have to kick me out," he added. "Though somewhere that I can practice my forms without having to interrupt you would probably be a good idea," otherwise he was going to be moving the living room furniture at least twice a day.

Duo stared for a long moment before he just started laughing. Pancakes and tripe? What the hell was wrong with his boyfriend? He was lucky he was so cute.

"Get the thing. Skip the tripe. I'll give most things a go, Wu, but I'm gonna put my foot down on that one!" he'd rather starve! Then Duo grinned. No, he had no plans on kicking Wufei out. He wanted to keep him right where he was. "Not sure the rooms big enough... We'll look it over tomorrow and clear it out if you think you can make use of it."
