Love and Lust - Part 2

~*~
Quatre arrived home a couple hours after talking with Heero. Not because he didn't want to get home early-he just had errands to run, errands being grocery shopping and bill mailing. Opening the door, he walked in, carrying two shopping bags, each in one hand. At the sound of the door closing, Duo came rushing down the stairs, just stopping at the a few feet in front of Quatre.
"Well??" he asked, catching his breath. Quatre looked at him puzzled.
"Well what?"
"Did you see Heero!?"
"Oh well actually I-" Quatre stopped himself before he went any further. He promised Heero that he wouldn't say a word about him to Duo, nothing at all. "I haven't seen him. Sorry..." With that Quatre went into the kitchen. Duo followed close behind.
"Damn...he couldn't just disappear like that could he?" He sighed, leaning against the wall. "I mean, he didn't leave the country, right?"
"Of course not, Duo," Quatre replied while putting away the groceries. "As a matter of fact, he's still in town."
"Really!?" A little twinkle was shone in Duo's eyes, which made Quatre cringe in shame. "Where!?"
"Uh...I wouldn't know...sorry..."
"Oh..." that twinkle disappeared as fast as it came and Duo just lowered his head. "How am I gonna make things right if I can't even find him. It's been two weeks and I haven't heard from him or anything." He glimpsed at Quatre. "Does he even know I'm here?"
"Yes actually he does..." Quatre responded, nodding. At that, Duo lifted his head.
"So you've talked with him."
"Well yeah, of course I have. I mean, he calls on occasion and sometimes I call him back."
"You do..?"
"Yeah..."
"So what's his number?"
"Huh?" Quatre finished putting the groceries away and looked at Duo. "His phone number??"
"Well yeah, Q, what other number could I be talking about." Duo picked up the phone. "So what's his number?"
"Uh..." Quatre had to think of something quick. "He's not home actually. He just left to go somewhere."
"Really?" Duo slowly put the phone down. "You just told me that you didn't know where he lived..."
"Well I don't..."
"Then how do you know he won't be there?"
"Because...uh..."
"You're lying to me..." Quatre let out a soft whimper after hearing those words. This was the first time Duo ever said that to him, mainly because Quatre had never lied before until now...and for the past two weeks. Duo didn't look too happy at all as he stared at Quatre while continuing to lean against the wall. "I can't believe you're lying to me..."
"Duo..." Quatre didn't know what to say to his best friend. "I didn't want to lie...it's just that Heero didn't want...well.."
"Didn't want what?"
"Well..."
"He didn't want you to know where he was...that's all..." Trowa answered, walking into the kitchen. "And from what I heard, he's got good reason." Duo stared at him, dumbfounded.
"I don't know what you're talking about..."
"Hmph, of course you don't. You're not supposed to." Grabbing an apple, Trowa sat down at the table and took a big bite out of it.
"Alright, you guys aren't making any sense," Duo uttered, shaking his head. "Could you please be a little more specific...?"
"Look Duo, if you think you can just bury the past, then fine - do that. But don't think that Heero will."
"Trowa just what the hell...forget it." Duo stormed out of the kitchen, heading up the stairs. He had no idea why his supposed friends were acting this way, but it was really starting to piss him off, literally. Making his way to his room, he passed by Wufei who had just come out of the bathroom.
"Hey Duo, wait up!" Wufei called, following Duo to his room. He closed the door when he got in, noticing the frustration in Duo's features. "Duo, I know what you're thinking, but you can't blame them, can you? I mean after what you did-"
"What I did!?" Duo glowered at him. "Tell me, Wufei-what did I do!? That's all I wanna know!"
"You mean...you don't know...?" Wufei sat on the bed when Duo shook his head 'no.' "Seriously?"
"If I did know I wouldn't be so upset right now."
"Oh well..." Wufei bit back the words he was about to say. "So you don't know about 'them...?'"
"Them who?" Duo looked at him puzzled. Wufei just sighed, shaking his head.
"Heero's number is 555-3769. Talk to him and then you'll understand..." Afterward, Wufei left the room, just glancing back to see Duo pick up the phone in his room and dial the number. //Heero...I know you're gonna hate me for this, but it's for your own good. Like you always told me-follow your emotions.// Wufei thought as he closed the door as soon as he left, leaving Duo alone.
Duo's heart was pounding fast as he heard the phone ring over and over. He prayed that Heero was home-they really needed to talk.

Akari was coloring in her "Cardcaptor Sakura" coloring book when she heard the phone ringing. Getting up from her laying position she went to pick up the phone, but before she did, she ran up the stairs to Heero's room.
"Daddy, can I pick up the phone?" she asked, hoping he'd say yes. Heero was busy braiding Akira's hair to look at her.
"Yes, you can Kari. Don't forget to ask who it is ok?"
"K!" Then Akari raced back down the stairs and picked up the phone. "Hello?...Hel-looo?..."
---
Duo stopped breathing for a split second after hearing the voice of a little girl on the other line. He didn't know what to think, but decided that this wasn't gonna stop him from talking to Heero.
"Hi...I was wondering if a Heero Yuy lived there?"
"Oh he's here, but he's braiding my sister's hair right now," the little girl replied. Duo smiled slightly. He remembered teaching Heero how to braid a while back. He was glad that he still remembered.
"Well uh, could I talk to him? It'll only talk a couple minutes."
"May I ask who's calling?"
"It's Du-just tell him it's an old friend."
"K!" Duo heard the phone being set and then the girl shouting something that made Duo's drop the phone, his eyes widening.
---
"K!" Akari said before putting the phone down. She didn't feel like running back up the stairs so she just shouted as loud as she could. "DADDY!!! SOMEONE'S ON THE PHONE FOR YOU!!" After a few short seconds, Akira came skipping down the stairs, her long brown hair full all braided up into tiny little braids. Heero was right behind her.
"Who is it?" he asked. Akari shrugged.
"He said that he was an old friend."
"Oh...?" After telling the girls to go elsewhere, Heero picked up the phone and sat down. "Hello?"
---
Duo could faintly hear someone on the other line repeatedly saying hello. He knew that it was Heero-he knew Heero's voice from anywhere. Now was his chance to straighten things out, to explain to Heero why he left in the first place. But something was holding him back. What that little girl said...it seemed so unreal to him. He felt that this wasn't a good idea at all. With a slightly shaky hand, he picked the phone back up and brought it to his ear.
"I-I'm sorry...wrong number..." That was the only thing he could think of saying before he hung up the phone. He didn't have the guts to talk to him...not now...not until he had answered the questions that just came popping up in his head.
---
Heero hung up the phone, a quizzical look on his face. He thought that maybe it was just a prank call or something. But that voice...it sounded so familiar. Shaking his head, Heero got up and decided to start making dinner, but what was he gonna make. The only thing that stuck in his head was hot curry rice, which was Duo's favorite.
"Duo...?" Heero thought for a minute. //Could that have been...? No way...// Heero knew the voice sounded familiar, but could it really be Duo's? Then another thought struck him. //Akari answered the phone...and she called for me...Duo must've heard it...he might think that...that maybe// Heero slowly sunk down to the floor, all these thoughts and worries just plaguing his mind.
