Duo grinned at Heero, and yanked him onto the couch, and him. Heero landed gracefully from the unexpected attack, and stretched out across Duo's lap to watch the vidscreen also.

"Wh-what?" Heero spoke first, his voice a startled and somewhat frightened gasp at the scrolling headlines across the bottom of the screen.

Heeo looked at him dubiously, and glared, "If she thinks she's going to get me by tricking the entire world into thinking I proposed to her-"

Duo sighed and clapped a hand over Heero's mouth. "Shut up, koi, and just watch, okay?" Duo giggled, then yelped as Heero licked his hand (1). But the Japanese man aquiesced, and dutifully watched the vidscreen.
