Un-betaed
Honestly just made up Relena's mom's name.
Made up the teachers name as well.
Introduction
He sat in his room contemplating, thinking of what his next move would be. He never understood cruelty, or why it was directed at him. All he knew was that it was, and that he must have done something to deserve it. He could never quite find his place in this world. Most of the time he spent feeling like he was on the outside looking in. Of course he wanted a normal life, who wouldn't? But for some reason he was different.
He lay there in bed playing with his switch blade, Rolling and twirling it in and out of his fingers. He loved to see the crimson drip from what ever small nicks the blade caused as he graceful twirled it in and out of his long fingers. He deserved so much more pain than this. He knew that had he been born a normal baby boy none of this would have happened, but it didn't, he was born a hermaphrodite. Of course on the outside he looked completely male, it was just on the inside that wasn't, he had a uterus and one ovary.
It was because of him that their dad left.
It was because of him his mom died soon after of a broken heart and stress.
And it was because of him that his sister, Hilde, had to work two jobs just to pay for her college tuition and rent since they no longer had a house.
Plenty of relatives wanted to take her in, but only her. They had made it clear that he was an unwelcome addition to the family because: one, he was a hermaphrodite; and two, he was considered gay or bisexual to the relatives that know of his physical condition. But his sister, wouldn't leave him to fend for himself, so she stayed, even though she sacrificed a good life for him.
She deserved so much better.
In his eyes she was an angel that was cursed with such a good heart that she couldn't let those she felt she loved suffer. She suffered for him, so he stayed alive for her, knowing it would cause so much more pain for her if he killed himself.
He wasn't that selfish.
He would never knowing harm her or her emotional state, so whatever negative feelings he kept to himself. He felt that he could only smile around her, she deserved that much, to believe that she was making some difference in someone's life that made them happy.
To her his happiness was her happiness.
So he would do just that, fake a smile like everything was alright.
His thoughts were interrupted by the knock from the door. You see he and his sister lived in the back house of the Darlians. His mother and Mrs. Darlian were best friends before she passed away. Unfortunately for him and his sister what ever good grace they had with the family died with Diana Darlian when she passed away in a car crash two years ago. Ever since then Mr. Darlian was cold to the two and only allowed them to stay on the premise because he knew it was what his late wife would have wanted. But after her death the only thing that seemed to warm the old man's ice heart was his only daughter. He became so blind and delusional as she spiraled out of control. Mr. Darlin believed his "Little angel", Relena, could do no wrong.
The knocking turned into pounding.
"Maxwell! Open up! I know your in their!"
Fuck. Was Duo's only thought.
He got up from his bed and sauntered through the hall to the little sitting room and opened the front door.
Standing there was no other then the "little angel" herself in all her pink glory. Good god he hated pink.
"Yes your highness?" his voice dripping with sarcasm. She looked him up and down as if she was looking at a bug.
"Papa wants you, he says you haven't paid your rent this month yet." Yup that's right, they paid rent now that Diana was no longer there to protect them.
" My sis is at the bank now getting it, I'll bring it to the house when she gets back."
" Whatever." she said as she flicked some of her hair over her shoulder.
" Oh, also here is the list of things you are required to do this week." She gave him the list, turned on her heal and left. Gah! How he hated that woman! Duo had tried to make it easier on his sister by helping out with the rent but since no one would hire him because of his delinquent past, he came to the Darlian's and requested for work. But what he got was to became a personal servant to Relena.
Apparently it was her father's idea but he knew she must of said something, that bitch loved making his life a personal hell. As he looked over the list he had to laugh at some of the impossible things that were written on there. How the fuck was he supposed to make sure that all her clothes were still in season and sort out what wasn't. He didn't care about designer clothes, for fuck's sake he could probably be labeled a punk rocker as far as fashion goes. He took a breath and began to mental organize the list to do the easy things he could get done that evening so that the harder task he would be able to focus on more later.
Duo threw on his shoes and walked out onto his porch.
This was going to be a long weekend.
School (Section 1)
Thank God the weekend from hell was finally over. Somehow he managed to organize her entire closet as well as color coordinate it. If he didn't know any better, he would of have suspected that she purposely made her closet look like a tornado hit it just so that he would have on hell of a time cleaning it. He even had to color coordinate all of her clothes, mostly all pink. She made him do it over three bloody times because he didn't match the shade correctly to their designated area. At that point, he really just wanted to pull out his hair.
He walked into school and made his way to his locker. He was thankful it was Monday, little known to outsiders, but Duo actually liked school. In fact he would be valedictorian for his grade had he not decided he didn't want that kind of attention directed to himself; also with all the crap Relena makes him do he doesn't have time to study that often either. He grabbed his books for his first three periods and swapping them out with the books he had in his satchel.
Suddenly he was pushed from behind, causing him to do a face plant right into the metal shelf that was inside his locker. He spun around, his lip throbbing, he could feel a warm stream start to trickle down the side of his chin. Shit he busted his lip, Hilde was going to kill him when she saw. His eyes focused on the large football player that was smirking, seemingly satisfied with his work.
" Hey fag boy, hows your morning." Zechs, Relena's cousin and the star football receiver, great. Duo said nothing as he closed the locker door behind him while still looking at the man. His two goons behind him, Trieze and he couldn't remember the other's name at the moment but he really didn't care.
" Fag boy, I just asked you a question. What stupidity finally caused you to loose your speech?"
No, and I'm sure a hell of a lot smarter then you are. You are so lucky I promised Hilde I wouldn't fight anymore or else you would be begging me not to collapse your fucking wind pipe!
That thought brought a smile to Duo's face, to see Zech's face turn blue as he clawed at Duo's had around his throat.
" What are you smiling at fuck-tard?"
Zechs started to take a few more steps and closed in on Duo, like a animal stalking his prey. Duo turned his head adverting his eyes from the large man. Duo knew that the moment he looked into the blondes eyes his resolve would snap and the man would be laying in a pool of his own blood.
" Aww, fag boy doesn't want to play today?"
He seriously wanted to kill Relena for telling the whole school about his sexual orientation.
Suddenly the bell rang distracting the jock long enough for Duo to push past him. He was yanked hard by the arm and spun around until he was face to face with the fucker, any closer and Duo swear he would kiss him for the hell of it since he knew the guy was such a homophobe.
"Where do you think you are going?"
Just then a teacher came telling everyone to scatter.
Duo would have to thank the man, any more of this "trying-to-act-tough" shit and Duo was about to explode.
" We ain't done with this yet, fuck boy." With that Zechs and his posse turned and left leaving Duo in the hall by himself.
Duo make his way to class, entering just as the tardy bell rang. He made his way to the back to his seat near the window. He always liked the window seat, nature tended to calm him.
His eyes wandered to the front and noticed that the teacher was trying to get everyone's attention. Relena's posse in the front whispering and giggling amongst themselves. Dear lord did the woman ever shut up?
"Attention class! We have a new student today!" Silence. Yup that got everyone's attention.
Even though they weren't in a small community, transfers didn't happen often. So new students were always seen as exotic animals or something.
She motioned at the door, waving her hand, gesturing the kid to come in.
Wow this kid must be shy to have waited in the hall way all this time. As she gestured, the door slid open more to reveal the boy who was waiting outside. When he came in and faced the class almost everyone gasped.
He was fucking gorgeous!
He had tanned skin to a golden bronze, tall, muscular but lithe, with dark long shaggy hair, and piercing blue eyes. Though he was beautiful, his eyes where cold. He didn't even smile when he was introduced or attempt to look friendly.
" Class this is Heero Yuy. Please make him feel welcomed."
" Yes Mrs. Mannington" replied the class.
She turned to Heero and began to tell him to find an empty seat where ever he could find one. Suddenly there was a shuffling of chairs being heard, and miraculously an open chair appeared next to Relena.
Wow she works fast, she must of thought he was gorgeous too.
" Mrs. Mannington! There's an empty seat right here!" she almost screamed.
" Oh, well I'm sure Mr. Yuy would love…" Before she could even finish her sentence Heero began to walk to the back of the class and away from Relena.
Oh shit. He is actually coming in my direction. Fuck. What do I do?
Heero went to the back table where Duo sat at, hesitated, then pulled out the empty chair and sat next to Duo. Duo still trying to keep his eyes forward and not on the gorgeous piece of eye candy that just sat next to him caught Relena's eye. Shit she looked like she wanted to gut him. What the fuck did he do? He didn't even want attention, that's why he sat in the back! Oh well, little miss princess will just have to deal with it for now because Duo wasn't going to tell blue-eyes here to go find another seat.
The class seemed to drone on and on. But even though it seemed like eternity it was over just as fast.
Heero turned to Duo at the end of class, silently gazing at him, waiting to get his attention.
Duo noticed and faced him, his eye brow arching. " Um, hello?" Said Duo awkwardly. Wow slick one.
Heero looked at him then began to rustle in his pocket of his jeans for something. His jeans were faded with holes tragically placed but hung on his body in a way that accented his height and lithe but muscular figure. He pulled out a crinkled paper and handed it to Duo.
Duo took it and began to unfold it, trying to figure out just what was handed to him.
" Where is this?" Heero asked as he pointed to his second period. The boy handed him his class schedule, he didn't even say please! He's gorgeous but doesn't he have any manners?
" Hmm, room 203 in the CG building. Actually this near my next class if you want me to take you there."
"Hn." was the only response Duo got. As Duo was getting ready to leave for the next period, Relena came to their table.
" Hello Heero" she said expecting a response. But when she received none she continued talking like he had.
" Since your new here, as the Class President, its my honor to take you on a school tour. Come on I'd love to show you around."
She then proceeded to grab his arm, pulling him out of the chair, and toward the door. She didn't even given time to say a response, and the way she clung to him and talked none stop, so that even if he wanted to say anything or even escape from her death grip he wouldn't be able to.
Heero turned back to glance at a very shocked Duo. Okay, good so this isn't something people here consider normal. Heero thought to himself as he was pulled into the hall way.
