"Heeeeroooo!"
"…If you ever do that again, I'll kill you…"
"Aw, come on Heero! How can you kill a face this beautiful?"
Amidst the crowd inside the airport, a smile crept slowly across the face of a boy in his late teens, perhaps 18 or 19. His eyes were a clear blue, though empty in itself. The eyes of a child who saw too much sadness, too much anger, in too early a time. Bangs of his wild dark hair hung over his slightly pale face. Clad in jeans and a simple white tee-shirt, he seemed drastically different then the person who had fought a guerilla war three years earlier. Heero Yuy. An unsung hero among those who was recognized only by his friends.
His companion winked at him. Her violet eyes sparkled beneath bangs of her own chestnut hair. She was filled with energy at their arrival at the airport at Miami, Florida, U.S.A. She was also clad in jeans with a blue midriff top. You could hardly tell that about six months before, she was the boy known as Duo Maxwell. But ever since her secret had been found out, she was more open and relaxed about her gender.
The girl in question smiled at her companion. "There ya go. As odd as it is, seeing a smile on your face, you still look great."
Heero grunted a bit, the small smile still on his face as his cheeks flushed slightly. He was unused to such compliments, to having someone show him love. He turned his head to the side to look straight at Duo, watching her with his penetrating gaze. "…And you look… great… all the time…"
Duo blinked, and then felt her own cheeks flush as she smiled. "Yeah…I know." The young girl stood on the toes of her sneakers and glanced around the terminal. "Hey, where do they keep the baggage claim place? I wanna get my bags and get outta here. Crowds' making me nervous."
"…"
"Shut up, Heero."
Heero struggled to keep up with the energetic Duo amidst the thick crowd at the airport. He felt slightly worried, but he knew that that worry came from his nearly-completely submerged soldier instincts. He had always avoided large crowds at all costs, unless it was necessary for him to escape through them. The 19-year-old shook his head slightly. He was making progress in his new life, now was not the time to regress.
The dark-haired teenager growled to himself and looked around for Duo. Did that girl always have to be so hyper? She had only been out of his site for a second, how could he have lost her?
Quickly, Heero slipped towards a relatively clear staircase and climbed up two steps and turned, pressing himself against the wall so he wouldn't be too much trouble, and scanned the crowd. There were too many people… he couldn't see her….where…there! He'd recognize that braid anywhere!
He fell into step behind an elderly couple as a cold glint flashed in his eyes. His face was a mask; he couldn't let his emotions show…the enemy would recognize him. Enemy? What enemy? The war was over, damnit!
The thoughts were quickly pushed out of his head by the cold, calculating mind he once had. The kind Heero Yuy who cared for his girlfriend was pushed aside, replaced with the killer by the same name that focused only on achieving his goal… by whatever means necessary.
This was it, this was the spot. Where was she? He had just seen her a minute ago. His cold blue eyes scanned the crowd again, searching, always searching. Where had she gone? Where was she?!
"Heero?"
They found him! He spun around and started to raise his clenched fists, eyes narrowed in a defiant glare. They may take him, but he won't go without a fight!
No! He screamed mentally and a shock went through him as his gaze instantly softened and his fists unclench. He gazed into Duo's worried eyes. For a moment he had relapsed… even now! He had just lost sight of her for a moment, and he had been flung back into the past. Heero shook his head, realizing that he was both sweating and trembling.
Duo lightly took his hand, frowning with concern. "Are you okay Heero? You look pretty shook up…" You look like you used to, she added mentally.
Heero shook his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I'm…I'm fine now…"
The violet-eyed girl placed her hand gently on his face. "Are you sure…? What happened?"
His now-misty blue eyes focused on her soft, clear violet ones. He blushed slightly at her touch and wished he could tell her what was bothering him, but he couldn't bring himself to lay his own troubles on her. "Nothing. Did you find the luggage claim?"
Duo bit her lip and nodded, dropping her hand from his cheek as she pointer over her shoulder. "Yeah… it's back that way and down some steps."
Heero nodded curtly and moved passed her, gently pulling free from her grasp as he did. The braided girl watched him vanish into the crowd, the frown still on her usually happy face. She had seen a wildness in Heero she hadn't seen for a long time. A ferocity, a coldness… something she had hoped never to see again.
"Argh! Where are our suitcases! They can't-Look! That blue bag's been around four times and we're still waiting for our bags! This isn't fair!"
"Duo!" As Heero spoke the word, he climbed up onto the conveyer belt and took her arm. In her anxiety, the violet-eyed girl had climbed onto the platform behind the belt to await their bags. The platform which happened to be restricted to the public.
Heero gently pulled her down amidst murmuring and looks from the other people. He was still getting over his anti-social personality, but he still did not like having attention drawn to himself. This was made difficult when Duo was around.
He sighed and looked at the subject of his love. "The suitcases will come around-"
"There! There they are!"
Twin blue eyes locked on the black and dark blue bags on the belt, each one about half his size. Heero moved away from Duo and stealthily wormed his way to the front of the crowd. He leaned over the belt and grabbed that handle of each one and hauled them off the belt with a low grunt. A portion of the crowd parted as he held each heavy bag in one hand, his lean muscles on his arms more pronounced as he walked back to Duo, carrying both bags relatively easily.
"Let's go."
The chestnut-haired girl blinked and fell into step behind him. "Y'know, Heero… I can carry one of those bags for you. I know mine's heavy, and yours….actually…yours would be pretty light…."
The Japanese teenager grunted in response, not slowing his pace.
Duo huffed. "Heero! Stop treating me like a girl! Wait…I mean… oh just forget it!"
Heero stopped outside the airport, looking up and down the sidewalk while he set their bags down. His eyes scanned the street, searching for the person who was supposed to pick Duo and him up. Knowing Quatre, he would try to make his two visitors as comfortable as he could. Which meant, limousine.
Duo stood next to him, her hand raised to her forehead to block out the sunlight as she looked around. "God, it's hot down here… aren't we supposed to be getting a ride?"
"Hn."
"I hope the car has a working air conditioner…"
"Hn."
"Q' better have a pool too…"
"Hn."
"Is that all you have to say?"
"Hn."
"Hn."
"There's the car."
"Woo!"
Heero picked up the two bags and moved towards a white limo, the chauffer leaning against the side with a sign reading 'Heero Yuy – Duo Maxwell'. The driver saw them weaving towards him and he gently pushed off and smiled as they approached. "Mr. Yuy and Ms. Maxwell, I presume?"
"Don't tell me, your name is Jeeves!"
"Shut up, Duo…" Heero, of course.
The chauffer strode over to Heero. "Here sir, allow me to help." Wordlessly, Heero handed Duo's bag to the man, who nearly dropped it. The man huffed as he took it to the trunk.
The violet-eyed girl frowned. "Think I packed too much?"
"Hn."
The chauffer opened the trunk and heaved Duo's bag inside as Heero calmly laid his on top of hers. As the girl went to open the back door, the chauffer rushed over. "Oh no ma'am, please, allow me." Duo, slightly startled, watched as the driver opened the door and bow to her politely. "Master Quatre has informed me to treat the two of you with utmost respect."
"Oh…um… thanks a lot…I think." With a shrug, the braided girl slid inside. Heero nodded to the man and stepped in after her. With a push, the chauffer closed the door and moved quickly to the driver's side door and stepped inside. The door closed, the engine started, and the car moved into traffic. And thus began the vacation of one Heero Yuy and one Duo Maxwell.

And now, ladies and gentleman, it's time for…
Dark Chyld Explains it All!
This is a new addition to my latest fic ^-^. Here, I'll explain some things in the previous chapter, as well as answer questions by you, the reviewer! Now, let's get started, ne?
As I'm sure you've noticed, Duo once again is a girl. This is a direct sequel to my Heartfelt Trilogy. Since it's a sequel, duo's got to be a girl! Yes, I expect some flames, but this is my mark on the world of fan-fiction, so I'm not gonna change it! :P.
Next, you might be wondering what happened to Heero and Duo between the ending of the Trilogy. Well, Duo went back to manage her scrap yard, and Heero came along with her. They have an apartment right next to the yard, and both work there to pass the time and make money. They were invited to one of Quatre's properties on Earth to spend a week with the others, as a reunion kind of thing.
Also, you may have noticed that Duo's personality changed. In Heartfelt Secrets, she had to come to grips with the fact she couldn't hide herself as a boy for the rest of her life. Once her secret was found out, she gladly accepted herself and gave in to certain girlish mannerisms. Of course, this doesn't mean she isn't cocky or tough… she could still kick a guy's butt!
Heero also changed a bit, for the better. You may have noticed that he actually talks more! It's a miracle! But, like in all my fics, there has to be some conflict, right? Since this is a complete 180 from what Heero's used to, you can expect to see a lot of inner troubles n' stuff.
Okay! That ends my first chapter of 'Summertime'! I look forward to writing the next chapter and getting new reviews! Sayonara minnas ^-^!
