[Duo's POV
Mmmm….warm….damn this bed was comfy and warm and…..breathing?
I open my eyes and look straight at Heero's chest…..oh my god….His arms are wrapped around my waist and I'm cuddled up next to his chest….exactly how we were kissing yesterday. Damn he isn't awake yet…..what should I do?? Mmmm…it really is comfy….aw hell what am I thinking??
I gently started edging away from Heero…..i made it about one foot away before he groaned in his sleep and pulled his arms back towards him……with me still in them…….damn….now I'm even closer to him. I was kinda curious so I stayed in that position, wondering how Heero would react when he woke up…..i decided i'd let him make the first move. After about ten minutes, Heero woke up and slowly opened his eyes looking straight at me. I had closed my eyes, faking sleep so I didn't exactly see his reaction but…..i definitely felt it. (A/N: don't get any dirty thoughts yet). Heero sorta yelped and pushed me as far away as possible…sadly, I was on the edge of the bed so I fell off in a heap of blankets and sheets.
"ow….Heero…what was that for?" I asked rubbing my sore bottom. Heero looked surprised and ran out of the room locking himself in the shower. Gee….that wasn't the reaction I was expecting…..okay I admit, I don't even know what I was expecting….but it didn't involve a sore buttocks (A/N: once again….no dirty thoughts)
I grabbed a pair of jeans and a half decent t-shirt and changed in the bedroom. I was taking off my shirt when Heero came back into the room, changed for work. He was wearing some typical office work clothes and a tie and coat to go with it. He looked at me like I was crazy when he saw me take off my shirt.
"what…are you doing?" He asked restraining himself.
"uh…changing for work…duh"
"that's why we have a bathroom….and you can't be seriously wearing that to work"
"ok first off, you occupied the bathroom and secondly, I have wear this for work….i'm gonna get greasy and dirty."
"sigh….fine whatever."
I shrugged and finished changing. Heero walked into the kitchen and made breakfast. Our breakfast consisted of a bagel and some water….we hadn't gotten the chance to go to the grocery store. Heero grabbed his black satchel and I grabbed my bookbag and we headed out the door. Unluckily, Donan was standing outside getting his newspaper and saw us.
"hehe….so did you have fun last night?"
"yes….well gotta go….bye" I said….dang it was tough pretending to be Heero's boyfriend.
"well aren't you guys gonna kiss goodbye?" Donan said laughing harder than ever.
"Sigh…..bye Heero" I mumbled and stood on my tiptoes and kissed him lightly on his cheek before dragging him down the stairs full speed to get away from Donan.
"alright…Heero…..where am I going?"
"just get on and I'll drive you" again with the motorcycle….but I obediently climbed on the back of the death machine. He sped off towards the city and stopped at a place called 'Joes fix ems.' It was kinda messy and dirty but it looked like a cool place for a teenager like myself to work at. I hopped off the back of the motorcycle and ran into the office area. Heero watched me for a while and then sped off to his work.
There was a teenager about nineteen years old sitting behind the desk and talking with some older dude. Gulp…here I go.
"uh…hey….i'm Duo…I'm the new…worker"
The hot nineteen year old looked up when I talked and smiled, "hey…the names Jacob….This is Joe, the owner"
"hey"
"ahh…so you're the newbie, ehh??" said Joe…he kinda had a husky voice but definitely looked like he enjoyed cars by the many stains on his shirt and pants.
"uh….yep"
He instructed Jacob to tour the place with me. He took me around introducing me to all the people there and showing me the place in general. He was funny and was really cool. I'm mean….i admitted I'm gay so I can safely say that he was hot……damn, too bad I'm supposed to be taken by Heero.
"so you ready to work on your first car?" he challenged me.
"bring it"
He took me to the last station where a white Honda accord was already parked. This was my test to see if I could handle the cars by myself, so I went to work straight away. I checked all the normal valves and pipes. And then wheeled myself underneath the car to check any oil or fluid leakage. I could practically feel Jacob's gaze on me when I laid down on the skateboard and wheeled myself under the car. Oh yea…he was gay.
"aha…here's your problem…..your transmition fluid is leaking….just get a new carberator and you'll be all set." (A/N: ok so everyone gets this straight: I'm a girl…I don't know squat about cars….so I named random things and hoped to god that they sound right)
"very good" Jacob clapped his hands.
"Haha…so did I pass the test?"
"yup" Jacob walked back up to the office with me and we talked to Joe for a while. He put me Jacob on front desk and we just sat there talking and laughing. It was a slow Wednesday….only four cars came in so we just go to know each other more….the more I learned about Jacob, the more perfect he was. I don't know why but everything about him just….seemed right.
We hung out during our lunch break, he even treated me to a really good tasting restaurant. He was a perfect gentleman. It was almost closing time so we were spending the last few minutes joking around while cleaning.
"so why the long hair?" he asked….most everyone I know asks me that.
"well…when I was younger…this…girl I knew used to love brushing my hair and so when she died I decided to keep it long for her sake"
"oh man….i'm sorry"
"hey…it's cool…besides…most people just get weirded out by my hair"
Jacob laughed and walked over to me, he lifted his arm and trailed it down the length of my hair leaning in close to whisper in my ear, "I'm not weirded out….i think it looks beautiful"
"Duo"
Shit…..Shit Shit Shit shit shit shit….of all times for Heero to walk in the door, he had to choose this moment...Jacob backed away and smiled at Heero extending his arm, "hey….i'm Jacob…nice to meet you"
"yea…and I'm pissed" Heero said looking murderously at Jacob. Heero grabbed my hand with his one hand and my bookbag that was lying on the chair in his other hand. He stalked out of the office with me in tow. He practically threw me in the driver's seat of his motorcycle and climbed behind me. His arms reached around me and grabbed the handlebars. He kick started the motorcycle and glared at Jacob through the window. He did a tight U-turn on the bike and sped back to the apartment in record time. He hauled me off the bike and pulled me up the stairs and slammed the door shut to the apartment.
"What the HELL was that?"
"look…it isn't what you think it is"
"really??? He wasn't hitting on you and he sure as hell wasn't touching your braid…really???"
"no…ok so he might have been doing those things but….i don't think he meant anything by it"
"really….that is so…sigh…..nevermind" Heero suddenly looked really defeated.
"what….what were you gonna say"
"nothing….i'm sorry for overreacting….i should just trust you" He sighed and mumbled something about going for a walk and closed the door behind him.
That was nothing like I thought it would be…..i mean….Heero….He should have been furious…..he should have yelled at me….he shouldn't have….looked so….vulnerable and defeated….what have I done?
I slowly walked out the door and looked down at the parking lot as Heero sped away on his motorcycle again. Donan came out again, probably hearing the yelling.
"what happened?"
"nothing"
"really??? Judging the look on your face and that your little friend just sped away, I'd say you 2 got in a fight again"
"whatever"
I was so no in the mood to listen to Donan talk so I walked back into our apartment and sat down on the couch, curling into a ball and hugging my knees. I fell asleep within 30 minutes.
[Heero's POV (note: this time, I'm gonna go through Heero's first day of work)
Damn…I didn't like the look of Joes fix ems. I reluctantly let Duo get off the bike and go in to the ratty looking office. I drove off to my new work also. It was of course the tallest building in the city. I parked my motorcycle and walked up to the receptionist.
"hello….I'm Heero….i'm the new employee"
"oh…good morning, Mr. Yuy. Go ahead and head up that elevator to the 14th level." She smiled brightly at me.
I did just that. I crowded into the uncomfortable elevator for fourteen levels and listened to the damn elevator music that was coming out of a speaker in a corner. If there weren't people in the elevator with me, I would have whipped out my gun and shot the damn thing.
I stepped off the elevator at the fourteenth floor and walked over to another secretary.
"oh….hello are you Mr. Yuy?" She smiled looking me up and down.
"yes"
"okay…if you'll just go in and talk to Mr. Peerson and he'll get you set up" Jeez doesn't she ever stop smiling.
I walked into the correct door and was met by a tall man by the name of Peerson from the name tag on his desk. He stood up when I entered and smoothed his suit with one hand and extended his other towards me.
"hello…I'm Timothy A. Peerson. And you're Heero Yuy?"
"yes…nice to meet you"
"well….you had great references so let's get you started, eh?"
He showed me around and showed me my new office. I was a new designer for the company. I mostly got an idea from the company and put it on paper in realistic forms. Most of the items were from new microwaves to new computers and in most extreme cases, new guns or other weapons.
I sat down and started reading the ideas for the next computer chip. The job was quite boring but it was a great cover. At lunch time, I sat down in the kitchen area on my floor and ate lunch with some other designers. They gossiped about all the new jobs. This made my mission easier because if someone got a big gun or weapon job, I would find out easy enough. I tried to be friendly with the other men but my mind kept on going back to Duo. I was worried that something might happen to him or something. I mean…he had to deal with cars…what if one of them blew up or a heavy car part hit him or something…..ok this obviously wasn't helping me….i'll just finish as fast as I can and then head over to pick him up. I worked hard through the whole afternoon and finished about 20 minutes before Duo got off work.
I rushed out the door of the office and hopped on my motorcycle. I didn't speed to Joes, I just didn't go as slow as the speed limit. I hopped off the motorcycle and entered the office to find…..some teenager leaning closer to Duo's face and whispering something to him. What the….hell?
"Duo" it took all of my control not to whip out my gun and blast the teenage bastard through the roof. Duo looked up hearing his name being called.
He looked at me with wide frightened eyes. He definitely looked like he had just been caught doing something bad. He looked down at his shoes and refused to look me in the eye. The teenage bastard actually had the balls to talk to me while I was this pissed, "hey…I'm Jacob…nice to meet you."
Aw hell no….i just caught him hitting on my Duo and he just acts like nothing happened…..uh-uh….not gonna work dude.
"yea…and I'm pissed" I grabbed Duo's hand and his bookbag and got the hell out of there. Hell I'll find a new job for Duo…I don't care but he's never coming back here. I all but chucked him on the bike and got on behind him. In any other situation I would have loved this position but now I was too pissed to even think of the compromising position. Fuck the speed limit, I went as fast as I could and my mind was racing just as fast….who the hell was that??? What was he doing to Duo??? Did Duo enjoy whatever he was doing??? Will Duo hate me for the outburst??? Damnit all to hell.
When we got to the apartment complex, I grabbed his arm and pulled him up to the apartment.
"What the HELL was that?"
"look…it isn't what you think it is" Bullshit.
"really??? He wasn't hitting on you and he sure as hell wasn't touching your braid…really???"
"no…ok so he might have been doing those things but….i don't think he meant anything by it"
"really….that is so…sigh…..nevermind" Damn….i was about to say that it was exactly like James. He would get hurt and the cycle would continue but….i can't change the way Duo acts.
"what….what were you gonna say"
"nothing….i'm sorry for overreacting….i should just trust you" forget Duo…forget everything….i'm outta here. Duo can just go fuck any guy he wants and get captured all he wants….i'm threw with him….
I walked out of the apartment almost in a trans. I got on my cbr and drove 90 miles an hour as far away as I could. I stopped driving after 3 hours and turned around and drove back. I had calmed down a lot and was ready to come to my senses about Duo. I walked in the apartment and saw Duo curled into a ball on the couch, asleep. I gently picked him up bridal style and carried him to the bedroom. I gently set him down and covered him with the blankets. I took one last close up look at his beautiful face and turned away. I grabbed an extra pillow and blanket and fell asleep on the couch.
awwww...poor Heero gets the couch...i know this is like a major plot twist but it will get better in the end...don't give up on us yet, Heero.
