The hotel room was dark and quiet, the safety glass in the large windows thick and soundproof so that neither the roaring of engines nor the sonic booms of space ships in the nearby space port disturbed the room's occupants.

"What are you doing?"

Duo smiled as he heard the rustling of cool satin sheets on the bed, then the soft footfalls as Heero approached him where he stood by one of the windows, staring into the night outside made so bright by the artificial lights that it seemed as if dawn had come hours before its time.

"Thinking," Duo replied, leaning into his lover's embrace, pressing his naked back to Heero's hard warm chest.

Heero hugged Duo from behind and resting his chin on the other man's shoulder, he smiled, whispering: "That sounds dangerous."

Grinning, Duo tweaked his lover's nose, then entwined the fingers of their hands. "Ever the flatterer, huh?"

They stood there for a moment quietly, rocking gently from side to side as if dancing to silent music.

When another space ship shot into the sky, the protective glass of the hotel room's windows shielding them from the blinding glare of engines, Heero murmured in Duo's ear: "What were you thinking about?"

Duo sighed. "About the colonies and the Earth. About the war and the peace. About what we have lost," he squeezed his lover's hand tightly, "and gained."

Heero remained silent for a long moment before he dared to ask: "Any regrets?"

Smiling, Duo turned in Heero's arms, caught his face in his hands and gently kissed his parted lips. "None."

The End
