Chapter 1 At a Party

AC 197

Duo walked out into the garden. He was attending a party that Quatre was throwing. Why Quatre had invited him, was beyond him. After all it was a business type party, consisting of Quatre's business associates and politicians that he knew. The only people that Duo knew at the party were Quatre and Relena Peacecraft. Duo had spent most of the time since his arrival talking with Quatre, and thought that he had monopolized the host's time enough. So Duo had wandered out to the traice.

As Duo walked along it he thought about his fellow Gundam pilots. Or rather ex-gundam pilots. Trowa was back in the circus with his sister Catherine. Duo had seen Trowa a couple weeks ago when the circus had been on L2. He seemed to be getting along ok.

Wufei was working as a Preventer with Sally Po. Duo smiled at that thought. Wufei called women weak and a lot of other crap, but his partner was a woman. Duo shrugged.

Quatre had his hands full running the Winner Corporation. He also helps the Preventers on the side. He is not a known Preventer, but he gathers and provides information to them. He moves quite often between the colonies and Earth.

The there was Heero. Duo didn't know where he was or what he was doing. After the mess Dekim Barton stirred up, Heero just disappeared.

"Duo?" said a voice from behind.

Duo turned around to see Quatre standing behind him.

"Hey, Q" Duo responded.

"What were you thinking about?"

"Nothing much. Just what we are all doing and where we are..." Duo trailed off.

"In other words you were thinking about Heero." Quatre sumised.

"Just before you spoke up, yes. But I also was thinking about Trowa and Wufei." Duo tried to defend his thoughts.

"Duo, you don't have to be so defensive about it. I know that you like him a lot. I have know for awhile." Quatre said.

Duo was shocked. "You knew. And your okay with it?"

"Yes. Why should I have anything against it? Especially when I have similar feelings towards a guy." Quatre said.

"You mean, your gay too." Duo blurted out.

"Yes. And did you have to put it so bluntly?" Quatre stated.

"Oh sorry about that, but it really shocked me. I never expected you to say anything like that. You always seem so....straight."

"Well with my position, it would not be a good idea to go around announcing my sexuality to the world. I mean, I am the head of one of the largest business in space or on the Earth. Would you be surprised if that came to be public knowledge, and you didn't know me."

"Hell, Q, I'm shocked and I do know you." Duo stated.

"Yeah, well think how shocked the rest of the world would be." Quatre laughed with a small laugh.

"Point taken." Duo said. After a few moments he continues. "Hey Quatre, why did you invite me to your party? I mean it is so business like."

"What you don't want to be here?" Quatre asked looking a little bit hurt.

"It's mot that I don't want to be here," Duo assured him quickly. "It's just that I feel kinda outa place."

"Oh I see." Quatre said understaningly. "As to why I invited you, I wanted someone to talk to. Someone around my age."

"What about Relena Peacecraft?" Duo asked.

"I could have talked to her, but when I do talk to her the first thing that comes out of her mouth is 'Have you heard anything from Heero?' It can get really annoying." Quatre explaned.

"She is really obsessed with him. By the way, have you heard anything about him?" Duo said.

Quatre looked at him with mock agression on his face. Duo was about to say 'never mind' when Quatre laughed. Duo's face changed from one of worry to one of puzzlement. Making Quatre laugh even more.

"What are you laughing at?" Duo asked.

"I'm sorry, Duo." Quatre said trying to get himself under controll. "It's just that the look on your face was so funny. You looked like you thought I was going to bite you head off."

"Well you looked like you were going to bite my head off." Duo insisted.

"Sorry, again. But the way that it came out with the conbersation, it was like you were trying to get a rise out of me. No, I have mot heard anything about Heero."

A.N. this is just the first chapter there is more to come.
