Revised and edited chapter two. I added some stuff so you might as well read it.

Chapter 2

"What?! Married?! But I'm too young!" Duo pounded the table, causing his mashed potatoes to bounce a little. He was shocked. Appalled. His parents couldn't be doing this to him!

"Duo sweetie. You're not to young. And the boy is quite nice." Duo's mother reached over to pat her son's hand but he yanked it away.

"D-Did you say boy?!" Duo mouth dropped open. His mother pushed his jaw back up. He backed away from his parents.

"Duo, you've met his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Yuy." His father spoke at last. This caused Duo to let out a string of obscenities.

"WHAT?! YOU'RE MARRYING ME TO HEERO YUY?! THE BIGGEST BULLY AT SCHOOL!?" Duo shouted, making his parents jump in surprise. Glaring at them, Duo ran up to his room, where he proceeded to punch his pillow and mutter hateful things to it.

((Across Town))

"Heero sweetie, you know how we told you that you were going to be married right?" Mrs. Yuy asked her quiet son.

"Hn." Came the reply.

"Eh, right. Well, we want you to meet him now."

At this, Heero's eyes snapped open. Him?! His parents were marrying him to a guy?!

"There's no way I'd marry a guy." Heero's voice was cold and icy. A worried look crossed his mother's face. Her son's temper was terrible….

"Heero please…it's not that bad. Duo Maxwell is a very sweet boy. He'll grow on you."

"…Maxwell?! NO!" Heero's shout shocked his parents and they stared at him with wide eyes. "I…hate him…"

The angry teen stood and stomped upstairs. He punched one of the many pictures that lined the stairwell. The glass shattered and fell, dancing around his feet. Once in his room, he proceeded to curse like a sailor.


The next day at school, Heero and Duo didn't even look at each other. Heero didn't bother to bully him, which caused his cronies to wonder if he'd gone soft over night.

Once school had ended though, Heero walked right up to Duo. "Hey. I suppose you're parents told you eh? Well guess what? There is no way in hell I'd marry you!" Heero whispered harshly. Suddenly, as though to prove his point, Heero lifted to shorter boy up by the collar and pushed him into the wall. Glaring, he drew back his fist and collided it with Duo's cheek, breaking his only extra pair of glasses.

Letting go, Heero stormed off as Duo slumped to the ground, cradling his face.


Once home, Duo walked right past his mother towards his room. He vowed never to forgive them for what they were doing. He couldn't stand Heero. They should know that. But no, they decided to marry him off! Duo shrugged off his heavy backpack and proceeded to work on his homework. Noticing he couldn't see, Duo slipped in his contacts, making the world return to focus.

"Damn it, people like him deserve to die and rot in hell forever." He said under his breath after getting his contacts on. He then looked at the 10 pounds of homework his teachers left him. "And sometimes I wish I wasn't such a nerd too." He mumbled, starting his homework.

In the middle of his homework, he stopped for a moment, looking up at the ceiling of his room. "I guess some people have all the luck in the world and I'm not one of them." Continuing to stare at the top part of his room, he continued to procrastinate, even though he could hear his mom's yell from the kitchen, asking if he finished his homework yet.

He just sighed. "Whatever." Duo started on his work once more.


During dinner, the brown haired teen looked at his food, moving his peas across one place to another on his plate. He gazed at his parents who happened to be looking at him. This made the son sweat a lot behind his back. Obviously you can tell he doesn't like to be stared at (especially by his parents) and right off the bat you know parents can be overprotective of their children, meaning they want to know EVERY SINGLE THING that happened. However, the teen isn't as open as they would like him to be.

"Mom's probably going to say, 'Honey what's wrong? Is everything okay? I'll kill anyone that dare harms my son!'" Duo sighed for the millionth time today. "Okay, maybe not the last part." He saw his mom and started backing away from her. "I can still see the sparks coming out of my mom's background. This isn't good." This made the dad back away as well.

The woman smiled but it's a 'you better tell me who's been harassing you or I'll get out my pitchfork' kind of smile. Now you can see why Duo refuses to tell his parents anything. Correction, his mom the psycho, anything. The saddest part is that he can't tell her that it's Heero who's been making his life horrible.

"Honey, what's wrong?" His mom finally asked.

"Is everything okay?" The father figurine asked. (A/N: I don't know. Shoot me now.)

"Dad-" Their son commented with a bored look on his face. You can tell that this is an everyday thing.

"Have you been doing drugs?"

"Mom!"

"You're not skipping classes are you?"

"DAD!"

"You are doing your work, right?"

"GUYS!" The teen shouted through his megaphone seeing that this was probably the only way to make his parents listen to him. Now everything was dead silent and Duo's parents staring at him once again. Duo is silently gazing up at the ceiling trying to remember what mom and dad said.

"Let's see. Everything's okay at my school, no, no, and yes." He sweat dropped when his mom gave him her 'I hope you're not lying because you know I do to liars.'

"Tell you what, I'll do the dishes tonight." He said causing his mom to go from a 30-some-year-old to a kindergartner in 5 seconds flat. The brunette smirked at himself, feeling proud. "Well, I better start on it now." He grabbed the plates filled with the leftover food. As his mother walked away, to go dancing joyfully in her room, he felt his father's worried look. Duo ignored him, grabbing all the plates as quickly as he could and scrubbing them.

His father sighed. "How long are you going to give me the silent treatment?"

"What do you think? You don't have a right to know what's going on in my life." Of course, Duo wanted to keep himself distanced from everyone, especially his parents. It caused fewer problems.

"You're right, I don't. I'm just worried about you. Ever since you started high school you've changed a lot. Perhaps maybe it's bullies that are-" Before the older man could say anything else, his son slammed his fist on the counter before walking right pass his father and straight into his room. Both of the adults and their only child didn't speak to each other for the entire night.


As the next day came, the 15-year-old could feel the tension in the household. It was thick and he wanted a machete so he could bushwhack through it. He marched downstairs and into the kitchen. Mom is in the only person there and dad appears to already have left for his job.

'Good, now I don't have to face him. Hopefully he didn't tell mom yet…'

Duo swallowed his fear and went up to talk to his parental unit. "Mom, if you don't mind… Is it okay that you take me to school today? I don't feel like riding the bus." He mumbled quietly but it was audible enough for the woman to hear.

"Sure thing, dear. Eat your breakfast first though."

That surprised the younger male. Normally his mom would have questioned why. Duo decided not to let it bother him so continued on with his breakfast.


Same ending note as chapter 1.
