Summary: Duo and Heero biking through France.

He was not the sort of person to say such things, but yes, Heero Yuy was grateful. For what, no one knows, but as he went hand in hand with his best friend… or, better still, lover… he could honestly say to himself that he was content. The pair wandered through the cobblestone streets without a care or a sense of direction, but neither minded. They followed the scents of sweet meats and spice. They played tag with the music of street performers. They moved with the flashes of light and color and sound that they encountered.

Duo gave Heero a smile as the pair sat across from each other at the local open-air café. Coffee and Orangina… Club sandwiches… Bread and local cheeses… A warm breeze rustled the tree branches above them as a song floated through the air.

“This was a good idea, Duo,” Heero said as he cut his cheese properly, from crust to tip. “Biking through France.”

“I told you,” Duo said as he stirred more sugar into his coffee. College students are *supposed* to do stuff like this.”

Heero gave his lover a bit of a smile as he sandwiched the piece of cheese inside a chunk of bread. Somewhere nearby, someone was speaking in a language he didn’t understand all that well.
