Sequel to 'Miss Cupid'! If you haven't already, go and read that story first if you don't want Heero and Duo's romance to be so... random.
Cult Cupid: Chapter 1
Author: Freya
Disclaimer: If I said that GW was mine you'd be suing my ass off right now! The spoofs aren't mine either.
Setting: Same as all the other settings from 'Miss Cupid'.
Warnings: A/U, Shounen-ai/Yaoi, my pimp pairings (the king of the crop being 1x2x1 of course), inane humor, inappropriate language, mildly obscene activity, picking on preps, and enough bad puns and retarded spoofs to choke a horse! Are we having fun yet?
... our love shall kno-o-o-o-o-ow!
"Man, that guy was a real joke!" Duo exclaimed whilst snickering at the ending credits of the daily morning announcements. "I swear, the people they pick to sing the school's song get worse and worse each week."
"I agree. I guess working for a shit job like the morning announcements isn't good enough for this school's "angelic" chorus girls," Wufei said sarcastically, having quoted the word "angelic" with his fingers. "This school sucks."
"Chang, Maxwell, do not talk during home room," their home room teacher spat inevitably at them. It was those two more than anyone that teacher kept her eye on. "I hope you don't think you're above the rules."
"Oh, c'mon, Ms. Une! Everyone else was talking." A classic easy escape Duo had attempted. Une's thick glasses caught a glare from the overhead lighting, which gave Duo the creeps. She was like a cryptic robot, programmed to tourcher him specifically because he was so different from everybody else. But hell, every teenager has their share of feeling like that around certain people. She wasn't his biggest of problems, just one of his more annoying ones.
Just as he finished his musings on one of his more unfavorable teachers, the bell for first period had rung, and the class was cleared of people... almost.
Saved by the bell? Nope, Une had ordered Duo and Wufei to stay a few minutes for yet another lecture. Needless to say, the Chinese boy's aura was pitching pissy vibes, physically informing Duo that Une's verbal assault wasn't going to be his only one today.
School just screws all our lives over, doesn't it?
"Duo Maxwell, I'll not have you treat me with such contempt in my room. Wufei Chang, I'll have no cussing in my class or mockery of the Alma Mater. Do I make myself clear?"
Duo snorted and crossed his arms. "It's funny, I'm the only out-of-the-closet homo, and Fei's the only Asian boy in this particular homeroom. I smell a conspiracy!"
All went silent for a few seconds until Wufei made his say in the matter known.
"Stop it, Duo! She wasn't discriminating against us," Wufei snapped abruptly.
Une let out a breath, happy that she didn't have to go explaining herself. "Thank you, Wufei." Her tone was a bit on the relieved side since teachers were backed into this ugly corner all of the time. It wasn't the easiest corner to back out of either. Wasn't every day she was rescued like that though. "You boys are so bright and lively. Why let your race or sexual preference bother you."
"Being straight and Chinese doesn't bother me. Being surrounded by idiots does, though." Wufei scowled at the thought of this school and all it's cursed minions. Duo also had one to match, but for a different reason.
"I was only jokin' yanno," Duo said abruptly.
Une sighed. "I know, and your sense of humor is very bothersome."
"So what else is new?" Wufei asked unceremoniously. He had a different concern on his mind. "If we're over fifteen minutes late for class we'll get cut slips."
"Of course, Wufei. You may go. As for you, Duo, I think you're long due for a trip to the counselor's office."
"What!?" Duo almost jumped out of his skin when the word 'counselor' was brought up. He shot Une a "please don't" look, then Wufei and "please help me" one. Both of them nodded their heads in unison, leaving the poor braided teen defeated two to zip.
3 hours later...
"Yo Hilde, remind me that I need to totally murder Wufei, would ya?" the violet eyed delinquent asked his lady friend. After Une told him he had to go, Wufei went and dragged him to the office, by his braid no less. Needless to say, Duo was screaming and cussing and jeering the whole way down. The two-some earned some pretty odd stares from students and teachers from inside the classrooms. Of course, nobody took being dragged somewhere, against your will, by your hair, as a violent act since hair wasn't considered a limb. All that happened was few teachers told Duo to shut the hell up. Only American schools.
Hilde giggled as she rested her arm up against the wall and just shook her head. "I take it you didn't like your visit with the counselor."
Duo snorted and rummaged through a few anime mags, slinkies, and spoiled lunches in his obnoxiously unkempt locker. "I've spoken with shrubs less fucking predictable and boring than that freakoid."
"You talk to shrubs?" she asked, pretending to sound surprised.
"You talk to teddy bears," he countered while he struggled to yoink out his biology book. "Crap, I need to clean this damn locker."
"Oh, and Wufei and I have told you this how many times?" she snickered once Duo had to put his foot up against one of the bottom lockers to pull out his bloody text book. Granted, he achieved busting it out of it's prison, causing a lot of the junk in his locker to spill onto the floor. The pile was about half a foot tall too.
"Yeesh! It's gonna take me the whole lunch period to clean this up," Duo whined. "Hilde?"
"I'll fetch you a trash bag and buy you a bag of chips, but I am so not touching any of that." She landed a playful punch on his left arm. "Have fun sweetie."
She did exactly as she said she would. The school janitor had given her a trash bag which she gave to Duo, then proceeded toward the cafeteria to fetch him something to eat. She couldn't believe just how disorderly Duo was. One of the infamous myths with gay guys was that they always stay tidy and organized. In her opinion, the only thing that made Duo gay was simply the fact that he prefers boys.
"Stupid Une. Stupid Fei. Stupid Hilde. Everybody hates me today," Duo grumbled to himself after sticking the seventh or eighth juice box in the plastic garbage bag.
"Everybody?" A curious female voice chimed in whilst he finished grumbling to himself. "I know somebody who loves you and who's been looking all over for ya today."
Duo stopped what he was doing and took a moment to flash Relena one of his infamous hundred watt smiles. "Hey Cupid, want to contribute to not hating me and help me clean this mess up by any chance?"
"I'll hold the bag," she said as an easy escape to not touch any of the contents on the floor. "Heero does the same damn thing with his locker, so I'm used to this."
"How is he? I didn't get to talk to him during the holiday break," he said sadly. Of course he had to forget to ask Heero for his phone number or his address. One thing that really upset him was the fact that everyone knew where Maxwell church was. He was hoping Heero would visit at least once, but he didn't. That worried Duo a bit. "He um... was really looking for me?"
"He couldn't shut up about you over the phone all week." Relena was thoroughly amused by the surprised look on Duo's face. The expression was just too pure. "He said something about a Wufei not trusting him, so that made him very reluctant to go and visit you."
"Strike two for Wu-man today!" he exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air. "I love him to death and all, but he really doesn't have to baby me so much."
"Heero says that about his friend Trowa all the time." The amount of things Duo and Heero had in common was totally nuts. Relena sometimes wondered if Duo was Heero from an alternate universe. Then again, that would make this fic all sci-fi and stuff. We'll just stick to the true love theme.
With the help of Relena's pro.... bag holding, Duo was able to clear his little mess and stack his books neatly in his locker in less than ten minutes. Time sure does fly while having a conversation about your boyfriend. "Relena, shouldn't you be in the cafeteria?"
She giggled. "Heero asked me to help him find you, so I did. I also took it as an escape from... people. Lets just put it that way." Duo knew it! She didn't like being the all but self-proclaimed queen of the school after all. That explained why she was a cross-dresser off school grounds. He wondered briefly if Milliardo Peacecraft ever went out in public wearing a dress and make-up to hide his identity.
"Can we find Heero? I'm... I've been... well... " Nothing like love to make someone as out-spoken as Duo trip over his words and blush right down to his shoulders.
"You both are such goof-balls." Relena giggled and yoinked out her shiny purple cell-phone. "I'll text-message him. He'll be here in under a minute, just you watch."
