A/N: Hi guys!

I've been planning to do this story for quite a while but never managed to think of a good couple :( Duncan x Courtney or Duncan x Gwen? Yeah I like both... I eventually chose Duncan x Gwen! There are other couples in this story like Geoff x Bridgette and Harold x Leshawna. If you don't like those couples, bare with it, sorry :P It will be okay since the main one will be Duncan x Gwen! :D

I'm also not that good with romance stories so if there's slow progress of their love...you'll understand xD

So this will be a multi chapter fic and it's AU, after High School. Duncan is unemployed and single. So in this story, he's going to try and find a job and a girlfriend. Although, he's very unfortunate with love. This chapter will sort of explain it ^-^

Oh and Harold acts gay at the start *Cough cough*

Enjoy the first chapter ;)

So I'm Duncan... I'm single and desperate for new love. I have never felt this way before until now. I feel so alone and I hardly ever feel that. Every time I try and make a move on a girl now, I suddenly realise afterwards that the girl is in a relationship. It sucks, I know!

I remember when I was in high school. Single, playboy. I dated almost every girl but now...everything has changed.

How it's changed?

Well, to start things off, I have no job! I'm unemployed. Actually well that hasn't changed...okay well the real changes are that I haven't had a girlfriend in a while. No wait, make that a year! A WHOLE year! I used to have twenty five girlfriends in like every four months!

I really need to meet some girls. I think I'm turning gay here.

Speaking about gay...that reminds me, I need to get my mail.

Now you're probably thinking how GAY reminds me of MAIL? Those two different words! Oh you'll see what I mean...I opened the door and oh no...the mail man.

The nerd, that is gay.

"Good morning Duncan," Harold, that was his name, greeted me. Yeah yeah, the whole innocent act. He'll drop it soon.

"Good morning Harold," I greeted unhappily,"What mail do I have today?"

I bobbed slightly down to get the mail and when I got it out, I looked up and...you had to be kidding me. He walked and brought me mail like any other normal mail man would do. Then when I looked up from my mail...Oh dear...I really don't want to be alone with this guy and I also really don't want to be sexually harassed by him either!

"Uhm..Harold, no need to undo your belt and take your pants off..." I replied at his unusual actions, "You're just delivering mail, that's all." I looked nervously at him.

"Yeah but I want to be your mail," Harold grinned seductively, getting closer to me, "How you touch that mail with your fingers...how you rip the envelope off like clothes...then you read the letter by staring at it like how you do it to do a body." It made me want to puke. I really wanted to kill him.

"For the millionth time, I AM NOT GAY! Find someone else who is! Okay...Do you want me to punch you?" I glared, can't he just go to the next person's house and annoy him or her instead? I know I said I was desperate but not desperate enough to be with a gay nerd.

Harold grinned, if possible wider and more mischievously, "Punching is touching."

Screw this..beating up my mail man is probably against the law but...that was the last straw.

I punched him on the shoulder, it wasn't too hard though since I was scared to go to jail for beating up my mail man. I'm too young to go to jail!

"Duncan...what are you planning to do to me?" There was no hint of fear in his voice but there was...excitement?

I was getting angry, I was surprised too, "Aren't you going to scream? Yell for help? Anything?"

"Yes! I'm going to scream PLEASURE," The gay nerd yelled enthusiastically. Seconds later, he was laughing hysterically and walked away to the next house.

I watched him leave.

Yeah...that's it, you better leave! SHOO!

"My gay mail man came by again!" I groaned to my friends, Geoff and Bridgette, with an annoyed look.

Ahh Bridgette...I remember our first date.

It was way back in the first year of High School. I took her out to a movie. Being a gentleman I was, I let her choose the movie. The movie she chose was just a lame chick flick, I didn't care about. Halfway..well maybe not halfway, probably right at the beginning, I fell asleep. Bridgette noticed and thought she was boring me. Then she thought we had way too much 'differences' so we broke up. The next day she started dating Geoff.

Very sad, indeed.

But they were perfect for each other.

We were sitting on the couch at my house watching a show, eating chips, just doing casual stuff you do with your mates.

Bridgette raised an eyebrow, "I'm surprised you haven't beat him up yet. It's a miracle."

"You had no idea what happened, girl." I snorted, eating a chip.

Geoff chuckled, "Mind telling us what happened?"

Then I told them everything. The whole story. From when I greeted the...innocent nerd Harold to the wild crazy Harold trying to get in my pants.

"And when I looked up from my mail box, he's already undoing his pants saying he wants to be my mail! So I can rip the envelope off like clothes! Then I couldn't take it anymore. So I punched him really hard and I was about to again but he left."

"I think you went a bit too far..." Geoff responded, chuckling, "I mean, Harold isn't exactly gay." He had no idea what he was talking about. If only he had really experienced what had just happened to me. He wouldn't be saying that at all!

I snorted, "That's like telling me Leshawna and Harold are dating." I mean, I knew Leshawna and Harold from high school (I always bullied that Harold dude without knowing he was gay). They were like an unperfect couple that was very hard to imagine. From what I remember, they didn't date by the time graduation was over so they probably would never see each other again which would be impossible. Oh and Harold is gay so that makes it even more impossible.

"Actually they are..." Bridgette said to me and she began explaining, "Harold gives mail to the street Leshawna lives on, she lives on the same street as you. Next door, I think, you really need to visit her. They started dating just recently." Okay wait what...

"I don't believe that, Harold is definitely 100% gay!" I exclaimed, finding it hard to believe after what had just happened, "I mean why would nerd Harold who follows rules, cheat on his girlfriend? Even I don't do that!"

"I wouldn't say he's cheating..." Geoff told me slowly, "Leshawna knows and she fully approves on what he's doing. Harold is only acting gay to annoy you for what you did in High School to him and because he thinks you need a girlfriend. Most of your friends from high school are dating. So he does that so you could just ask out a girl already! When you're taken, the girlfriend will sure to protect you from him and he would have no right to flirt with you."

Well that was a quite an explanation..."I won't believe that until Harold tells me himself." Hey, they could be making this up!

I had to agree though, I really needed to ask out a girl. I just had to find the right one...

Knock Knock

"Duncan?" Leshawna opened the door, I stared at her. Memories came back of when I dated her..."What are you doing here?" She looked surprised and shocked. She was probably oblivious to the fact I lived next door to her like I was.

So what Bridgette said was true, she did live next door...

It was kind of awkward right now, "Err...can I come in?" I asked, she nodded as she moved to the side and I walked in.

"Gwen~ We have a visitor!" Leshawna shouted. Gwen? Who was Gwen?

I walked through the hallway with Leshawna in the lead, she led me to a big room. There was a girl with black hair with teal highlights, she looked pretty goth, sitting on the couch. She saw me and gave me a strange look.

"Okay..." She smiled at Leshawna, "Who is that?"

Leshawna answered, "Duncan."

I waved and sat beside her, "Gwen, right?"

Gwen nodded her head, "Yeah, Leshawna, is this the Duncan that Harold has been flirting with?" She winked at me and laughed.

"Uh well yeah," Leshawna replied, laughing along, "He's also the Duncan I dated from High School." Yeah she did date me once, our relationship ended in a week.

So what Geoff and Bridgette said was true...or maybe they got Leshawna and Gwen into this plan too! I still really believed that Harold was gay though! I guess nothing could change my mind about that?

Gwen frowned slightly, wonder why...I looked at her confused, "The Duncan? The playboy?" She made it sound like it was a bad thing.

I smirked at her, "That's me!"

Then I heard her mumble something like, "I'm glad I didn't go to that High School..." Did Leshawna make up really bad stories about me? Oh crap. I don't want to have a bad impression on a girl I just met! Well to be clear, my relationship with Leshawna wasn't exactly the best...

"Duncan, have you gotten a girlfriend yet?" Leshawna turned to me, curiously, "I heard from Harold you haven't gotten a girlfriend in a year! He's been acting gay just to- I mean, he's so gay that he'll never find a girlfriend!" She laughed nervously.

...Okay?

I looked at her with a questioning look and then answered the question, "Well, I'm currently looking for someone."

I heard Gwen mutter something under her breath, "Doubt anyone would be stupid enough to fall for a playboy."

I turned my head from Leshawna to Gwen, glaring, and snapped at her, "Gwen, I know you've heard things about me, but I'm really not that bad! Stop acting as if I'm some stupid playboy. This isn't High School." I was angry, no furious. Stupid Leshawna, "I mean for god sake, I haven't dated in over a year!"

Gwen looked surprised at me, "Whatever you say..." she mumbled.

I glared, harder.

"Look Gwen," I stared at her with a serious look on my face, "Why don't you try to get to know me first? Maybe I won't be as bad as you think I am."

She hesitated for a few seconds, and sighed, "Alright but don't try to flirt with me or anything..." She warned.

I gulped, was this even a good idea? I mean, flirting is one of my hobbies, "Okay, meet me by my house tomorrow. I live next door!"

Then I heard Leshawna whispering something, "Oh Harold would be so proud." And what does THAT mean?

A/N: So yeah! They'll start off as friends. (Sounds so cliche...but hopefully, it won't turn out like that. I've got everything planned out ;D

So how did you think the beginning was? Harold (I chose him because I think he is really awkward and weird) is obviously not gay. I was going to use an OC instead but then I was like..nah. Anyway, I don't ship boy/boy or girl/girl pairings (Maybe I do like Noah and Cody...just a little bit). I have nothing against them in real life though :) Just so you know, Harold is dating Leshawna. I find that couple really weird and strange, but I went along with it! So yeah, what Bridgette and Geoff said was true.

Soo tell me how you think the first chapter was!

Please review! Review and I'll update ;)
