Chapter One: Finally Home
It had been four months since Duo had left for space. Hilde couldn't take it any longer. She had to see him, and today, her wish was to come true. He was to be returning home. Duo and Hilde were the best of friends. They told each other everything. Conveyed their deepest secrets to the other, and never held anything back. Hilde had really missed all the long talks they used to have about this and that, and the funny things they always did to cheer each other up in bad times. There was not a pair of friends in history who were as close as the two of them had become.
When she heard him approaching the door outside, she hopped up from couch excitedly. He opened the door and was immediately tackled by his hysterical friend.
"Hilde! It's so great to see you again!" Duo laughed as he stood still, scanning her partially forgotten face.
"I can't believe your back, Duo." Hilde replied with a faint sigh as a tiny tear fell from her sapphire eye.
Duo gave her quick hug to keep her from crying. "So! How have things been. Ok, I hope. You've been taking good care of yourself, haven't you, Hil?" He continued with an ever-knowing smile.
"Oh, you know. The usual. Brought in a few guys." She trailed off with a lingering smirk.
"Well I should hope so!" Duo joked. "I never see you associate with any guys at all. Your not..you know..weird..are you?"
"What?! Duo! Of course not! Were did you ever get that idea?" she scowled, though she knew he was being jokey. She, of course, knew the real reason that she never talked with any guys besides Duo. It was exactly that.Duo. She loved him. More than just a best friend. She had felt this way for longer than she could remember, though she wouldn't dare let him know the truth. She had harbored these feelings inside her for so long, and Duo didn't even have the slightest clue.
The room was silent.
"Oh yeah! I've got some coffee on. Ya want some?" she broke the cold silence.
"Coffee?! What do you take me for, woman! You know, I haven't had coffee in four months! Of course I want some! The whole pot!" Duo yelled with a chuckle in his tone.
This attitude was what Hilde loved most. He was the greatest person she knew. Always optimistic on the outside, even though that wasn't necessarily the case in his heart. She admired his strength to withstand letting out his inner feelings. Though it wasn't good for him to repress such hard, cold feelings, she admired him for it just the same.
"Well? How about that coffee?" Duo urged her with a smile as he broke her train of thought.
"Oh..right. The coffee!" she shined as she ran over to the coffee maker and poured them both a cup.
Then, she remembered something. "Oh yeah! I almost forgot."
"Yes?" Duo answered while he chugged his scalding coffee with little sign of detrimental effect.
"I was talking with my friend Aera a couple of days ago. She is a former OZ pilot as well, but she's now fighting for the colonies with the preventers. She says that she's coming to earth for a short while for some "unnamed business" and says that she needs a temporary place to stay. I told her she was welcome to stay here for as long as she needs, but that I had to consult with you first. So..what do you think?"
"Well, I don't have a problem with it." Duo said carelessly as he filled his cup to the brim with more coffee.
"Your sure? Because I don't want this to cause a problem."
"Positive. Besides, it should be nice to have another face around for a while. It might brighten the mood a bit." He answered matter-of-factly.
"Alright, then! It's settled. I'll call her up first thing tomorrow!"
Alright! That was chapter one! Hope it was ok. Now remember, I need your reviews to determine if I will continue this story! I need some constructive criticism if necessary. Just let me know if it's worth continuing! So I got one word for ya..R-E-V-I-E-W!!! Peace, kids!
