Chapter One:

Oops…wrong number?

When the name Duo Maxwell pops into your mind, how do you feel, what do you think?

Do you think of some random person that reminds you of that name, or how he might look like…or would you simply shrug it off, thinking that since you didn't know him you wouldn't care who he was, if he was poor, or even if he died.

It was the same thing that Duo questioned himself, having nothing else to do in the spacious time he was given. He wondered what his friends thought, what strangers thought, and even some cute guys.

Yes, Duo wasn't you average person. Despite the fact that he's ten times more cheerful than expected of the typical college zombie…well, and the fact that he did have a couple of girl stalkers, and… well, basically the point was that Duo liked guys. Better than girls anyhow.

"Call it bad luck." He always told his friends (some, who happened to be couples) as he remembered all the bad times. It seemed like the girls that had managed to get into his circle of friends, hadn't exactly wanted friendship. Oh, they wanted much more.

One even said she was ready to marry him and have kids.

Perhaps the reason why was because he was cute, or at least that's what other's told him. He could be sexy if he wanted to, like what he did for nightclubs, but mainly he stuck to cute. And not just any cute, we're talking teddy bear cute.

"Duo!" The answering machine rang and Duo snapped out of his thoughts, pulling together reality and looked over at the answering machine that was screaming his name.

"Huh? Oh, yeah," he picked up the phone, "Yeah?"

A heavy sigh on the other line made him smirk. Oh, he knew who it was. "Duo?"

"Uh…" Duo frowned in feign confusion, tilting his head, "Who is this?"

"It's Quatre!" The person on the other side of the phone frantically replied, and Duo could basically see his friend in a panic. Ah the wonders of chaos and discord.

"Who?" He questioned, shaking his head back and forth, "Look, man, I think you have the wrong number…I'm just gonna hang up now…" He slowly pulled the receiver away from his ear, ready to hear the impact of his words on his best friend.

"DUO!" He couldn't help but let out a yelp and drop the phone, having it slam back into the cradle as the line disconnected. Duo was still rubbing his ear, wincing, as he picked up the phone again slowly.

"Can't believe little angel boy can yell like that…" He grumbled, "Wonder how Trowa…" He stopped his thoughts, shaking his head as he hummed to himself and let his fingers drift over the number pad.

"Hello." He frowned, knowing it was CERTAINLY not Quatre's voice. Sounded more like a woman. He suppressed a shudder by any means, crossing his legs as he wondered when the girls in the other apartment would get home. After all, it wasn't like he actually had a place of his own…

"Uh…yeah, I uh think I got the wrong number…"

"You have reached Goddess headquarters." The person continued, making Duo wonder if it was a computer operated message, "Please wait while our Goddess is being sent to you."

Then, Duo hung up.

He stared with confusion at the phone. Was the hell! He blinked. "Since when do I voice my thoughts aloud?" He slapped a hand over his mouth, used the other to hit himself with and got up. He stood in front of the mirror and stared at himself.

"Why am I get worked up? It was just a stupid joke or something."

His reflection stared back at him.

"It's not like they're gonna send some Goddess or something…" His eyes were wide, connecting the dots. Goddess meant girl and girls meant bad experiences.

His reflection quivered, shifting for a moment which brought Duo's eyes jerking back to the reflection. "What the hell?" He whispered, reaching out to touch the mirror, slowly.

Since when did he had deep, deep blue eyes?

His hand was jerked to a halt. Duo froze, his eyes wide. Okay, he wasn't hallucinating. There was a hand holding his hand, coming from the direction of the mirror…

To put it simple, "What the f—" He was going to say fudge, really.

The person emerged fully from the mirror, which rippled like water before stilling back to how it normally looked. His breath caught in his throat as his eyes worked up from the feet to the face. What Duo expected to be a goddess-woman, was actually a guy…a very handsome guy.

"Hello." The person greeted, unruly bangs hanging over his eyes, which were the darkest shade of blue Duo had yet to see. He was decked out in wonderful colors, shadings of blue and black. He looked more like a devil come to seduce him.

"You called…" He blinked as he looked around to get his settings, trailing off as he looked at the person. "You have one wish, and one wish only."

"Are there any rules?" Duo, being the brightest bulb in the batch, questioned as he looked at the goddess with awe. Of course he was used to unreal situations and, well, if it was a dream he'd wake up when the alarm clock went blaring in his ear.

"You can't wish for another wish."

"Oh," his mouth formed an 'o' while he was at it. The goddess-god waited, looking back at the mirror while doing so. "Can I think about it?"

The person nodded, hair brushing against his nose while doing so. He crossed his arms, showing Duo the lean and muscular body, much like his own only less defined. More defined body equaled more stalkers.

"What's your name?" Duo found himself asking, looking with a tilted head cupped in one of his hands at the other-worldly figure.

"That's not for your discretion." The man blinked, wondering why he had told some stranger his name. He scowled, looking at a mirror.

"You look cuter when you don't scowl." Duo pointed out rather matter-of-factly. Heero flushed and glared at him, sending a shiver up Duo's spine at how cold those eyes would be.

Anger melted the ice in those depths and Heero growled, "Would you just hurry up and make your damned wish?"

"Fine, fine." Duo shrugged, putting a finger to his chin as he thought, each time thinking of Heero. And the words soon found their way out of his mouth, "I wish for you to be with me at all times." He wouldn't mind having someone like 'Mr. No-Name' following him around. He blushed—knowing and denying at the same time that there was no such thing as love at first sight.

Heero's body jerked and he stared at him with his wide, deep blue eyes. "Hm? No go…well…" He sighed and tried to dig in his mind, before feeling a wind picking up in the room.

Odd thing was that the windows weren't open in the room. In fact, there weren't even windows in the room.

Then, without any warning (and certainly not subtly) Heero collapsed on the ground, looking with wide eyes at the floor. His hands were shaking as he stared at them before looking up and staring at Duo instead with his wide eyes.

None the less, this reaction startled Duo, and thus made him fidget in his spot. "So…" He coughed, scratching the back of his head with a rather guilty look on his face like he had been caught raiding the cookie jar, "I guess it worked…" He laughed nervously as Heero narrowed his eyes at him.

Heero got to his feet, walking over to the phone, picked it up, and dialed it. Simple as that. To tell the truth, Duo thought the man was going to kill him for whatever the hell (of which he had no idea) he did.

Waiting for the person on the other line to pick up, Duo took life by the reins and looked over the man, no teen like himself, with more detail. Continuing to wait, Duo sat in dead silence, something he didn't like or care for.

"Hello?"

"This is Heero. The last wish—"

Ah, so that was his name. 'Heero.' He was going to open his mouth and say his name, to test the feel of it on his tongue, but refrained. He didn't need the strange man thinking he was weird or something.

"Is already in the data files, can't be taken back." Heero's breathing halted. "You're stuck there."

Now, Duo expected the lad to start breathing again, maybe scream into the reciever or something. However, that wasn't the case. First, the phone dropped from slack hands, and next…well, Heero didn't start breathing again.

Jeez, "Do you wanna die!" He blinked, 'I really need to stop living by myself…' He muttered mentally, not wanting to look any weirder.

"Hey!" Heero didn't heed him, or pay to mind the advice.

Next thing he did, well… He fainted dead away, leaving Duo to catch him.

Too bad Duo was too shocked to move as quickly as he would have wanted to. He flinched when Heero's body landed with a rather loud 'thud' on the wood, remaining still like he was dead or something.

Okay so…that was going to leave a mark, or at least a bruise.

Yes…another story… I just thought that…well…yeah, let's add another one to my favorite fandom of all time::glomps GW collection: Yes, I was thinking about making updates for my other stories but thought might as well go and post this since I gots nothing else to do.

Plus, I needed to add something since I feel guilty for not really typing anything. I've been busy, surprisingly, this week. First me birthday, then two of my friends' birthdays and then racing :sighs:

Well, hope you all enjoyed the chapter!
