Heero jerked his head around, staring at Duo with a startled look. He still liked him? For some reason that pleased him. The Stallion was truthful, he didn't understand beating around the bush. If you had something to say, then say it.
"Ah..."

"Ah...?" Duo blinked at him. "You look like you heard something you weren't expecting." He flicked his tail, moving past Heero to take a bite of some flowers.

"I wasn't." He murmured.
Blue eyes watched the winged Soquili. Heero felt a bit confused. He did like this creature, felt as if he'd known him somewhere. Yet he was annoying.

Duo looked as confused as Heero felt. What was the other stallion talking about?

Putting the conversation behind him, Heero surveyed the field. Flat, open, filled with grass and flowers... the atypical field. There were no other Soquili's, no other animals. None but for the hawk that soared far above their heads. It was peaceful but lonely.
He shifted towards Duo, reassuring animal instincts that he wasn't alone. Heero didn't need the winged Stallion, he was just fine on his own, he argued with himself. That niggling need to have somebody with him persisted. A soft growl filled the air, emanating from the brown-maned Soquili.

Duo's wide, startled eyes turned to the other stallion, instinct making him pull back at the growl. "H-Heero?"

Blue eyes stared at the other. "It was just me." He closed his eyes, sighing softly. So confused, as if something inside was pulling him in two directions. Irritating, annoying, it was giving him a headache.

Duo nodded slowly. He settled himself down, laying out on the grass. "Why were you growling?" he asked curiously. "I didn't do something wrong again, did I?" He was settling down a bit now, when he saw the stallion was more inclined to tune him out than flee.

"No." Heero glanced around. The cold Soquili followed Duo's example. Legs were tucked under his body, but he didn't lay on his side. The headache was still there, throbbing around his eyes. He said nothing, preferring to deal with it on his own. It made no sense to complain to others about a trivial matter.

"Then what was wrong?" Something was telling him now was the time to shut up and reel in this stallion. Duo figured he'd sunk the hook in far enough that the stallion might open up a bit. He shifted, watching the other stallion with large eyes.

He normally wouldn't complain, but he figured it was more of a statement then a complaint. A imparting of knowledge that would let the winged stallion know that he better be careful. "I have a headache." Heero turned his head away from the sun. The bright light was making his pain worse.

Duo moved closer to the stallion, extending one wing to block the sun. "Here." he said, offering a spot in the shade. "It is no strain to keep this up, and the shade would be a bit more complete than just ducking your head." He'd changed the tone of his voice. Now instead of the usual warm, higher pitch, his voice was low, cool, and smokey smooth. No need to drill into his new companion's brain. His body was warm, and he shifted again, offering to let the stallion rest his head on his belly.
For him, the comfort would be welcome.

Heero's eyes opened, studying Duo's face. This was a change. He'd expected a long-winded talk about headaches, not a offer of help. The other's voice made him want to blush, if a horse could.
Slowly, almost tentatively, he laid his head on the winged Soquili's belly. It was nice, this contact, and the shade helped alot.

Duo smiled faintly, relaxing his own head. His breath was soft and even, and he soaked up the sun, giving a soft snort when a bug would crawl onto his nose. His wing lowered a bit, providing a cooler shade, and he shifted just enough to keep them both comfortable.
Companionable silence ensued. Even Duo could wear himself out.

It was so comforting that Heero found himself drifting off. Even with the headache. Duo smelled good, that spicy scent soothing to his senses. When Duo was quiet he was easier to be around. He liked this little moment.
The dark-maned stallion woke not hours later. There was something soft across his face, and dark. A sniff revealed it to be the purple and gold edged wings of his new companion. He didn't move, loathe to disturb the other.
