Spoot: Chapter 4 is now on its way.
Quatre: AWWW! YOU DID LISTEN!
Spoot: Did anyone else hear that?
Hit Me p.4
Quatre could almost hear his eyes as they opened. He was in his own bed. but how did he get here? How did he get home? He knew he was drunk last night, and he knew Duo was there...
Lightning struck his head, for two reasons. One...OW! Two, Oh dear god! he had kissed Duo last night!
He climbed out of bed, hesitating at the edge of it, for a moment...debating, then standing up. Oh man, I'm dying. he thought. Shower, shit, shave time. and then coffee, yeah, or tea...oooh, tea sounds good...yeah.
Suddenly the door swung open. Making the poor blond hit the dirt with a whimper. "Ouhg...my head..." He wined. It was Duo, and he was as cheerful as ever. "Good morning to you, good morning to you! good morning, good morning, good morning to you!" He sang out, to the tune of happy birthday. "Duo..." Quatre wined, looking up from his place on the floor. Duo just laughed hard. "Get up. today is the first day of the-"
"Duo, please..." Quatre said, putting his hand up. "Its to early for cleches."
"What are you talking about?" Duo asked, helping Quatre up. "It's almost 3."
Quatre looked shocked. "Oh dear god! my work! MY WORK!" He shouted. Ashamed of himself. Duo put his arm around his friend's shoulder. "Taken care of." He said with a smug, but friendly grin. Quatre side glanced at him. "YEP! Had Relena take care of it!" Quatre shoved Duo hard. "you're kidding! Right?" Duo just shook his head. "OH! GODUH!" Quatre exasperated, falling back on his bed.
"She did a good job, and after all, she is the Queen."
"Of the world, yeah, I know!" Quatre said, sitting up.
"So listen, I gots plans, so for today, you're mine." Said Duo, crossing the room to Quatre's closet. Quatre jumped up. "DUO! DONT!" He looked back at the blond, one hand on the door handle. "Why?"
Quatre crossed the room to join Duo. "You ever see those cartoons, where you open the door, and a pile of stuff falls on you?" Duo nodded. "I wouldn't open that door..." Quatre finished. Duo let go of the knob. "Phew! you saved me!" He said. Quatre giggled.
"you really are a mess, aren't you." Duo said, as they loaded up Duo's truck with scrap. "More than you know." Quatre said. He looked over at the long haired man. Did Duo do this all day long. go to scrap yards and so forth. is this how he ended up with extra cash? it wasnt a bad way to get some dough. but it was HARD work, and it was hot out. He wasnt used to all this manual labor. he was sure, he didn't like it.
He then realized just what a spoilt brat he really was. But he did work. He was the face of passiveism. and the head of a company, due to his fathers untimely death a few years back. He did his fair share of paper work. Lets see Duo do that!
"So, is this, like...punishment, or something?" He asked. Duo looked over at him with a half-smile. "Consider it pay back for swapping spit with me last night!" Oh dear god, he remembered! Quatre looked down at the scrap in his gloved hand. "Its a joke." Said Duo, tossing some metal in the bed of his truck, making a loud bang. That didn't seem to effect Quatre, he was used to loud noises and bangs.
"I know it is." He said, tossing his scrap as well.
"So, chill out man." Said Duo. "Come on, let's go get some lunch or something, I havent eaten today." Quatre looked over at him, his stomach grumbled an agree. Oh yeah, He hadnt eaten either!
"What are you in the mood for?" Duo asked. Duo's truck made squeaking noises. how, old fashioned. Quatre thought. it was basically a metal death trap, in black. Quatre decided, he liked Duo's truck! "Hmmm...I dunno, whatever you want, I'm not picky." He said, looking in the glove box. nothing in there but the usual. An owner's manual, out of date. A gun, a few wires, and some...what the hell...lip stick? "Duo...Whats this?" He asked, holding up the red stick of makeup. Duo giggled, and with a lisp, said, "Oh I just don't know!" He began to laugh. "Its Hilde's" He finished with that giggle.
Quatre tossed it back in the department and shut it up tight. He didn't like that girl. She had access to Duo...To all of Duo. That wasnt fair. Duo looked over at him, he looked deep in angry thoughts. "You don't like Hilde, do you?"
"WHAT! What ever gave you that Idea!"
Duo laughed. "Just a hunch, hummmm, McDonald's sound ok to you?" Quatre nodded.
The hit up the drive through, then parked in the lot, and sat and eat.
"Dont make me talk about the pachyderm in the room." Duo said, taking a sip of soda. Quatre half glanced at him, then looked away, and shoved frys in his mouth. "Ok, you asked for it..." Duo took a deep breath, and continued, "You got the hots for me so bad, your letting it determine your idea of an innocent, and very nice girl!"
"I don't like her!" snapped Quatre. "It has nothing to do with you. Shes just a slut."
"this, coming from the Man Whore?" Duo said, shoving half a burger in his gullet.
Quatre shot him another look, then he looked back down at his burger. "She just throws herself at you, as soon as she walks in the damn door."
"Yeah, you're right, that's kinda, weird, for a girlfriend! someone should tell her that." said Duo.
"Oh, you know what I mean..." Quatre mumbled.
"Oh yeah, I do, as a matter of fact. I do...more than you think I do."
"OH!" Snapped Quatre, jerking an angry head at him.
"Oh." Said Duo. "You like me." He took a sip, "And that's ok, I'm flattered." He looked over at a now sweating Quatre. "But, I'm not gay, I mean, theres nothing wrong with that...but its not for me. And now, you take it out on Hilde, a nice girl. Get to know her."
Quatre lowered his head. "I know, ok. I'm sorry..." He looked up at the other man. "you're really not bothered by the fact that I like you?" Duo shook his head.
"I do, however, know something you don't know." He said, looking smugly over at Quatre.
"Oh? So tell me!"
"You sure you wanna know?"
"TELL ME!"
"HA! HA! Ok, I know, someone has a crush on you!"
"What are we, in high school? Who is it!"
"Ah, Ah." Duo snapped. "After seeing you with that hooker, I dunno if this guy likes you very much any more..."
"So it is a guy! Is he single?"
"It's not me..." Duo mumbled. Quatre laughed. "I know that!" He said, "It was just a little joke!" He decided to try and eat again. Duo was already full, finished, and smoking a cigaret. "So, are you gunna tell me who it is?" He asked, taking a small bite of burger.
"I would, but...like I said. oh, and to answer your question, yes, he is single."
"Do I know him?" Asked Quatre.
"You do. EAT WILL YA!"
Quatre swallowed hard out of fear, and began to gobble up his meal in swift pace.
"And anyway, I highly doubt I should tell you. you aren't interested in him, hell...HE dosent think so anyway." Quatre looked up at Duo, who laughed out loud. "You have burger all over your face!" Quatre just grinned with a giggle.
Spoot: Ah, one more down. I hope this was pretty good!
Duo: I thought so!
Spoot:Ok, well, be on the look out for chapter 5!
