Almost
The situation is optimal.
They are relaxed, enjoying one another’s company on the couch; not a new scenario, but they are sitting much closer than they usually do.
Heero is suitably nervous, though excited. It is thrilling to think that moving his head slightly to the left and stretching upward just an inch or two will put his lips in direct contact with Duo’s.
A seemingly small hurdle, yet insurmountable.
Heero very much wants to kiss him. It would be easier knowing Duo wants him to. He decides to pull away, putting some space between them.
Duo’s disappointment is easy to read, but Heero does not know if it is because he had not succeeded or that he had even tried.
