New Hope Home
New chappie!!! Okay, so far we've followed Heero and his emotions towards Duo, but what is our braided friend feeling towards our Hee-chan? Read and find out, people. One question though. Why is Relena allowed to live in the first place? Why couldn't she be killed during the series? Why? WHY? I mean, why couldn't Heero or Duo or anybody just step on her with their mobile suit? I mean, they could just say it was an accident. Mobile Suits are frigging huge and Relena is a small piece of shit. I'm seriously thinking about killing her in this fic. She's gonna be hurt at least, mentally or physically. Everybody, let's sign up on the 'KILL RELENA SLOW AND PAINFULLY' list and make the day of thousands of Gundam fans, and the Gundam pilots.
P.S. My muse is still missing. Big reward to the one that gives the tip that will solve this case and bring my muse safely back to me. It has big elf ears and a black hair braided in a......... Erm, braid. It wears a blue cape and runs around without shoes.
"Bitch:"
"Isn't it great? I mean, everybody has seen the way they're acting when they're near each other. You can cut the sexual tension between them with a knife."
It was the next day and Heero and Duo was standing outside Heero's math class, talking and waiting for the bell to ring.
"Hai. They're just meant for each other. Like two pieces in a puzzle."
"Like salt and pepper."
"Chicken and rice."
"A train and it's station."
Laughing, Heero slapped his friend's arm. "Enough with the comparing. Let's just settle with meant for each other, shall we?"
Winking, Duo grinned. "You got that right. I just knew that they were fooling around."
Heero smiled. "Well, what they do is their business. Who are we to decide what they should do?"
Duo nodded and scratched his neck. "Damn, you've picked up my way of thinking pretty fast, Yuy. I think I've started to rub off on you."
Heero smirked. "I've known that a long time, but you say that as if it's a bad thing."
Raising his hands, Duo smiled. "Well, that depends. Some people will say it's good, some will say it's bad. What's important is how you feel about it."
Leaning closer, Heero whispered. "I feel it's a good thing. I've never felt so alive as I do when I'm with you. You make me smile and have fun. You make me enjoy life instead of wasting it." Leaning from his friends' face, he smirked. "And I'm looking forward to the day you'll teach me to play the guitar."
Raising an eyebrow, Duo looked mildly impressed. "Wow, Hee-chan. You've said more stuff now than you usually do in one week. Me and the guys must be a really good influence on you."
Laughing, Heero ran a hand trough his hair. "You have no idea, Duo. You have no idea."
Duo glanced to his side and saw Heero's math teacher appear. A quick peak at his watch and he cursed. "I may have no idea about the influence thingy, but I have a pretty good idea what Treize would do to me if I'm late." Heero nodded and waived as Duo yelled, "See ya at lunch! Save me a seat!" Sighing, Heero followed the teacher inside. Math would be so much better if Duo was there to keep him company, but the braided teen was in another math group. Settling down, Heero started working while the teacher was talking.
Cursing, Duo made his way through the hall. Treize's science class was on the other side of the freaking building and he had completely forgotten the time. He always did when he was talking to Heero. Mainly because he just wanted to talk to the Japanese all the time. He had one minute or so to get there, but Treize was always early. Duo couldn't remember one time that the teacher had been late or absent. Maybe he saved those day's for the week- end or something.
Quickly running around the corner, he ran into the one person that could ruin a perfect day.
"My, my, my, if it isn't Maxwell. Running late?"
Glaring at the girl, Duo snorted. Why did she have to come now? He didn't have one smart comment or reply ready. "You'd love that, wouldn't ya. Another mark on your "Duo stinks" list. To bad it's a common thing I do. Being late, that is."
'Oh, good one. Real good one. Even the kids at the orphanage could have figured out something better,' Duo though and swore under his breath. Relena laughed.
"What? No smart ass replies? That was new." Relena giggled and Duo had to remind himself that it was impolite to hit girls. Clenching his fists together, he smirked and raised his head. "Well, everybody gets a shock every time you come waltzing down in that pink outfit of yours. You can burn a man's eyes out, not to mention that you're a possible danger to the traffic when you're walking down the streets. Don't ya know it's illegal to wear colors that may shock the driver and make him lose concentration over the vehicle?"
Relena's face grimaced in anger and took a lovely shade of red. Duo smirked and leaned over to whisper in her ear. "I always though that you looked better in red, Darlian. It shows your close relationship with the devil, but I must say that the devil is far more attractive than you." Leaning back up, he stuck out his tongue. "I guess we all know who inherited the beauty in your family, huh? Guess we could say that your bother Zechs got the beauty and the brain while you got stuck with the horn and tale."
Waiving, Duo walked passed, not bothering to speed up. The class had already stared and the best he could hope for was too sneak in when Treize was lost in the world of science, but of course no such luck.
"You got your tongue sorted out well, Maxwell, I'll give you that. Too bad your emotions isn't as sorted out."
Freezing, Duo stopped. Turning around slowly, he could se the grinning face. "And what is that supposed to mean, Darlian? Another smart ass comment about my preferences?"
Smirking, Relena walked closer. "I guess you could say that."
Freezing up completely, Duo was about to panic. He did not like that look. Leaning forward, it was Relena's turn to whisper in Duo's ear. "I know what you feel for him, Maxwell. To bad he will never feel the same way towards you."
Gently placing a finger at Relena's forehead, Duo pushed her away. "Would you please be kind enough to stand a little away from me when you're talking. You're perfume is killing me and I didn't get a chance to hold my breath. And haven't you heard of Tic-tacs?"
Ignoring Duo's comments, she slowly started to walk around him. Duo never broke the eye contact with her, but turned his head while she walked around him.
"It's so pathetic. Chasing after someone, you'll never get. Lusting over them and just waiting for a chance to violate them."
Raising his eyebrow, Duo cocked his head to one side, still looking at Relena. "First of all, when did I ever violate anyone? Second, what the fuck are you talking about?" Raising his finger in the air, he smirked. "And may I add a third comment to that? You should know everything about chasing after stuff you can't get. You do that every year."
Relena shook her head and smiled sweetly. "Oh no, my dear Maxwell. I fully intend to get my Heero into my arms. He just needs a little time. When time's right, he'll come right to me. And leave you and those pathetic people you call friends."
Clenching his fists so tight together that he could feel his nails digging into his skin, he tried desperately to calm himself down. "Don't you dare calling them pathetic and who are you dragging Heero into this all of a sudden, talking about him leaving us. He's hanging out with us by his own free will."
Closing her eyes, she giggled. "Why, he feels sorry for you of course. especially you. Look at you. An 18 year old orphanage and gay as well? He's just being with you out of sympathy. No way that he looks upon you as a friend. And you're just being your poor self, lusting after him like you do with all the guys you meet."
Duo's eyes widened. "W-what do you mean?"
Her eyes opened again and Duo felt that her gaze was piercing his body. For the first time in his life, he was actually scared of the girl. "Oh, I know that you have a crush on him, Maxwell. Everybody can see that. The way you talk with him, the way you're always draped over him, hugging him."
Swallowing, Duo tried to smirk. "I'm draped over everybody, Darlian. Doesn't matter to me if they're male or female as long as I can hang over them."
Relena snorted. "True, Maxwell. True. But has it ever occurred to you that Heero might find it uncomfortable, having a gay guy draped over him?"
Duo shrugged. "He hasn't complained about it. Besides, he trust me enough to know that it's just a friendly horseplay. And if he doesn't like it, he'll just come out and say so. He knows I'll understand."
Shaking her head, Relena smiled and looked at him. "My, you really are clueless, aren't you? Why are you chasing after him when you know you're not meant to be?"
Glaring, Duo snorted. "Why are YOU chasing him when YOU know you're not meant to be?"
Smirking, she put her hands on her hips, running a casual hand through her hair. "We are meant to be, Maxwell. Can't you tell? The way he looks at me, the way we talk. But you aren't gonna take him away from me. Not this time. Not again."
Throwing his hands in the air, Duo was just about ready to burst. "Listen, I didn't even like the guy you were with at Junior high! I never even looked at him! He was the one coming on to me, telling me that he loved me! I didn't even know him!"
Glaring, Relena spat back. "You caught him in your web like the big slut fag you are! You seduced him and took him away from me, just to have his and my heart broken! You were jealous because I have everything you don't, soon including Heero!"
Duo lowered his hands and clenched them into fists, digging his nails into the palm of his hand. Glaring back, he growled. "I don't want anything you have. I don't want a fancy house with lots of stuff. Stuff and things don't make you happy and money don't give you friends. You don't own Heero and he's not yours to take. And maybe I do feel something more that just friendship towards Heero, but I'm quite happy with just being his friend. I'm quite happy with my life as it is and unless you want to lose your teeth you better shut your trap. Go play with your Barbie-dolls or something and leave me the hell alone."
Relena glared, but added a smirk to her face. "My, Maxwell. Are you going to cry? I always thought you said big boys don't cry. But then again, you're no man, not even a big boy. You are a fucking queer and a bitch just waiting to ruin people's lives and lusting after people who don't want to be near you. You are pathetic and my advice to you is to forget about Heero."
Looking down, Duo bit his lower lip. He didn't have anything left. No smart comments. No insults. Nothing. Relena had emptied him and all he had left was confusion and anger. After a while, he just turned away from her, only leaving a word and a sentence for her to digest. It was a mere whisper.
"Bitch......... You leave me the hell alone........."
Tapping his fingers impatiently, Heero glanced at the clock on the wall. Duo was late for Literature class. He always came about 5 minutes before class started.
Hearing the door creak, Heero turned his head towards it, hoping it was Duo. To his disappointment it was Mr. Adams. Damn it. Where was he?
Mr. Adams settled himself down in front of the class and smiled. "Good day class. Would you please settle down so I can see who's missing?" The class fell silent and Mr. Adams scanned trough his papers. Looking up, he saw that the place beside Yuy was available. 'Odd', he thought. The two teens had become inseparable the few months they had known each other.
"Mr. Yuy, do you know where Maxwell is?"
Heero shook his head. "No, sir. He was here this morning, but Trowa said he never showed up in Science class and was absent in the other math class according to Wufei."
Mr. Adams nodded. "I see. Have you tried to call him?"
Heero nodded. "Yes, sir. But he doesn't answer. I think he forgot his phone at home." Mr. Adams nodded again and Heero raised his arm.
"Yes?"
Gently lowering him arm, Heero swallowed. "I wondered if I may be excused from class so I can search for him. He normally doesn't leave school without telling one of his friends." Mr. Adams nodded. "Yes, you may be excused. Try to hurry back as quick as possible."
Heero nodded and gently slipped out from his seat. He glanced over at Trowa, who nodded and gently pointed at the door. Heero nodded and hurried out.
Once out of the classroom, he quickly scanned the empty halls and sighed. He had no idea where to start. The braided teen could be anywhere.
'Fuck, Duo. Where are you? Give me a freaking sign', he though and bit his lip. When he passed one of the men's lavatories, he decided to have a quick glance inside even though he knew Duo wouldn't be in there. Something had happened during the day and clearly, Duo didn't want to be found. When the braided teen had decided not to be found, it was just about impossible to find him. But of course, that was before he had met Heero Yuy, a teen that was just as stubborn and as much patience as him.
When he passed a window, he quickly scanned the outside area for any sign of his braided friend. He peeked into every empty classroom he could find and went as far as checking a girl's lavatory with a 'shut down for repair' sign on it. After a quick peak at the Headmasters waiting room, Heero was just about ready to give up. Duo clearly didn't want to be found.
Passing the library on his way back, Heero decided to have a quick peak in there as well. It couldn't hurt. Entering the library, he scanned the area until-
'Bingo'.
Duo was sitting by a table at the most hidden away corner of the library, face in his hands.
"Duo?"
Glancing up, Duo scanned the room until his eyes fell on Heero. Smiling, he ran a hand trough his bangs. "Hey, Heero......... Missed me?"
Heero nodded and sat down across the table so they could see each other face to face. "You didn't show up in Science today, Duo. Have you been sitting here since you left?" Duo nodded and rubbed his eyes. They showed no sign of tears, but Heero could tell that the teen was sad.
"What happened, Duo? Why didn't you show up in science or Literature class?"
"I needed some time alone. I needed to think." "Wanna share the story with me?" Looking at his Japanese friend, Duo could read the seriousness in the Prussian depths. "I don't know, Heero. It's embarrassing. I don't even know why I let her get to me and-"
Covering Duo's lips with a finger, Heero stared into Duo's Cobalt blue eyes. "Her? Did you-?"
Duo nodded and Heero removed his finger. "Yeah......... I kind of ran into her on my way to science class. I just wanted to leave, but she kept saying all these thing and I couldn't just stand there and let her insult me and the rest. She kept........." Sighing, Duo rubbed the back of his neck.
"She kept saying that you despise us and just hang out with us out of pity. She said that......... That I was out to take you away from her because I'm jealous of what she has and stuff."
Covering Duo's other hand with his own, Heero stared at him. "Duo......... You don't believe in that crap, do you?"
"Of course not, Heero! But......... It's happened to me so many times before. That people have hung out with me out of mere pity. I know that you're not one of those people, but......... It still stings."
"Duo." Sighing, Heero gave him a small smile. "You know that Relena would do anything to break you and the other guys. I don't know why I'm suddenly the object of her affections, but I don't give a rats ass about her. She's annoying and spoiled, not to mention that she's a stupid bitch with an IQ that can match a pea."
Duo laughed. "Easy there, you're insulting the pea. But you're right. I really shouldn't let her get to me and I know that you're with us because you want to, not because you have too." Getting up, he smiled. "Thank you, Heero. I really needed that."
Getting to his feet as well, Heero patted Duo's shoulder. "Don't mention it, Duo. Next time, just slap her so she'll shut up. After all, she doesn't go under the word 'Women'."
Laughing, Duo threw his arm around Heero's shoulder and messed up his hair. "Shit, dude. I really need you the next time she picks on me." Heero smirked and pulled Duo's braid. It felt good making his braided friend happy. But he didn't have time to praise the victory. Relena had won one battle and Heero had to make sure that she had to suffer a great defeat before the day was over. He was on a mission.
School was almost over and he hadn't found the pink monster until now. This was the last chance. Preparing himself as he walked after her, he mentally made a note to wash his hands after touching her.
"Relena."
Grabbing her arm, Heero turned the girl around so he could see her face. Not that he wanted to, but his glare wouldn't work if he stared at the back of her skull. When the pink menace saw that the boy that had dared touch her was the object from all her wet dreams, she smiled.
"Heero. It's so good to see you. Can I help you with something?" Heero nodded and walked towards a private spot in the hall. He didn't care if anybody heard him, but he didn't like to have people ears dropping on him.
Relena smiled sweetly and quickly adjusted her dress. Maybe if she showed some more skin. Heero looked away as she started to adjust her dress, totally aware that if she decided to show some more skin, he would throw up.
"What can I do for you, Heero," she asked, a sickly sweet smile on her face. "Do you want to follow me home after we're done. I'm sure the two of us could do a lot of fun activities together." Raising an eyebrow, she licked her lips seductively.
'Oh, God. I must do this before I get sick.' Taking a deep breath, he tried his best to ignore the light brushes over his arm. "Relena......... I want you to leave Duo and the rest alone." Giggling, she looked him straight into his eyes. "Oh, Heero. It's so sweet of you to defend them, but you don't have to. Maxwell's nothing more than a little whore and his friends aren't any better."
Swatting her hand away, Heero glared. "How can you say that," he hissed, pushing her away from him. "How can you make up such rumors. Have you no shame? Duo and the rest are much more decent than the people you call friends. You have no right to hurt him like that, just because he likes men instead of women. I bet you wouldn't have been so nasty towards him if he was into women."
Turning, Heero started to walk away only to stop when he heard her whimper. Smirking, he turned his head to face her. She was crying and streams of black ran down her cheek. Walking back, he dried away some of the tears.
"Heero........."
Leaning in, he whispered, smirk still on place. "And just for the record, Darlian. I think Duo is twice as hot as you are and if he asked me, I don't think I would have said no."
Author's Notes: Bam, bam, bam, bam. It seems like our Japanese friend has the hots for our braided teen and our braided teen likes our Japanese friend(like we didn't know that already).What do you think? Need feedback, I live for feedback. Remember to review. points at the review button Thankee! And remember what I say. Hugs and Gundam pilots too those who reviews. The rest gets Relena. shivers
New chappie!!! Okay, so far we've followed Heero and his emotions towards Duo, but what is our braided friend feeling towards our Hee-chan? Read and find out, people. One question though. Why is Relena allowed to live in the first place? Why couldn't she be killed during the series? Why? WHY? I mean, why couldn't Heero or Duo or anybody just step on her with their mobile suit? I mean, they could just say it was an accident. Mobile Suits are frigging huge and Relena is a small piece of shit. I'm seriously thinking about killing her in this fic. She's gonna be hurt at least, mentally or physically. Everybody, let's sign up on the 'KILL RELENA SLOW AND PAINFULLY' list and make the day of thousands of Gundam fans, and the Gundam pilots.
P.S. My muse is still missing. Big reward to the one that gives the tip that will solve this case and bring my muse safely back to me. It has big elf ears and a black hair braided in a......... Erm, braid. It wears a blue cape and runs around without shoes.
"Bitch:"
"Isn't it great? I mean, everybody has seen the way they're acting when they're near each other. You can cut the sexual tension between them with a knife."
It was the next day and Heero and Duo was standing outside Heero's math class, talking and waiting for the bell to ring.

Settling down, Heero started working while the teacher was talking.

You are a fucking queer and a bitch just waiting to ruin people's lives and lusting after people who don't want to be near you. You are pathetic and my advice to you is to forget about Heero."
Looking down, Duo bit his lower lip. He didn't have anything left. No smart comments. No insults. Nothing. Relena had emptied him and all he had left was confusion and anger. After a while, he just turned away from her, only leaving a word and a sentence for her to digest. It was a mere whisper.
"Bitch......... You leave me the hell alone........."
Tapping his fingers impatiently, Heero glanced at the clock on the wall. Duo was late for Literature class. He always came about 5 minutes before class started.

Mr. Adams settled himself down in front of the class and smiled. "Good day class. Would you please settle down so I can see who's missing?" The class fell silent and Mr. Adams scanned trough his papers. Looking up, he saw that the place beside Yuy was available. 'Odd', he thought. The two teens had become inseparable the few months they had known each other.
"Mr. Yuy, do you know where Maxwell is?"
Heero shook his head. "No, sir. He was here this morning, but Trowa said he never showed up in Science class and was absent in the other math class according to Wufei."
Mr. Adams nodded. "I see. Have you tried to call him?"
Heero nodded. "Yes, sir. But he doesn't answer. I think he forgot his phone at home." Mr. Adams nodded again and Heero raised his arm.
"Yes?"
Gently lowering him arm, Heero swallowed. "I wondered if I may be excused from class so I can search for him. He normally doesn't leave school without telling one of his friends." Mr. Adams nodded. "Yes, you may be excused. Try to hurry back as quick as possible."
Heero nodded and gently slipped out from his seat. He glanced over at Trowa, who nodded and gently pointed at the door. Heero nodded and hurried out.
Once out of the classroom, he quickly scanned the empty halls and sighed. He had no idea where to start. The braided teen could be anywhere.
'Fuck, Duo. Where are you? Give me a freaking sign', he though and bit his lip. When he passed one of the men's lavatories, he decided to have a quick glance inside even though he knew Duo wouldn't be in there. Something had happened during the day and clearly, Duo didn't want to be found. When the braided teen had decided not to be found, it was just about impossible to find him. But of course, that was before he had met Heero Yuy, a teen that was just as stubborn and as much patience as him.
When he passed a window, he quickly scanned the outside area for any sign of his braided friend. He peeked into every empty classroom he could find and went as far as checking a girl's lavatory with a 'shut down for repair' sign on it. After a quick peak at the Headmasters waiting room, Heero was just about ready to give up. Duo clearly didn't want to be found.
Passing the library on his way back, Heero decided to have a quick peak in there as well. It couldn't hurt. Entering the library, he scanned the area until-
'Bingo'.
Duo was sitting by a table at the most hidden away corner of the library, face in his hands.
"Duo?"
Glancing up, Duo scanned the room until his eyes fell on Heero. Smiling, he ran a hand trough his bangs. "Hey, Heero......... Missed me?"
Heero nodded and sat down across the table so they could see each other face to face. "You didn't show up in Science today, Duo. Have you been sitting here since you left?" Duo nodded and rubbed his eyes. They showed no sign of tears, but Heero could tell that the teen was sad.
"What happened, Duo? Why didn't you show up in science or Literature class?"
"I needed some time alone. I needed to think." "Wanna share the story with me?" Looking at his Japanese friend, Duo could read the seriousness in the Prussian depths. "I don't know, Heero. It's embarrassing. I don't even know why I let her get to me and-"
Covering Duo's lips with a finger, Heero stared into Duo's Cobalt blue eyes. "Her? Did you-?"
Duo nodded and Heero removed his finger. "Yeah......... I kind of ran into her on my way to science class. I just wanted to leave, but she kept saying all these thing and I couldn't just stand there and let her insult me and the rest. She kept........." Sighing, Duo rubbed the back of his neck.
"She kept saying that you despise us and just hang out with us out of pity. She said that......... That I was out to take you away from her because I'm jealous of what she has and stuff."
Covering Duo's other hand with his own, Heero stared at him. "Duo......... You don't believe in that crap, do you?"
"Of course not, Heero! But......... It's happened to me so many times before. That people have hung out with me out of mere pity. I know that you're not one of those people, but......... It still stings."
"Duo." Sighing, Heero gave him a small smile. "You know that Relena would do anything to break you and the other guys. I don't know why I'm suddenly the object of her affections, but I don't give a rats ass about her. She's annoying and spoiled, not to mention that she's a stupid bitch with an IQ that can match a pea."
Duo laughed. "Easy there, you're insulting the pea. But you're right. I really shouldn't let her get to me and I know that you're with us because you want to, not because you have too." Getting up, he smiled. "Thank you, Heero. I really needed that."
Getting to his feet as well, Heero patted Duo's shoulder. "Don't mention it, Duo. Next time, just slap her so she'll shut up. After all, she doesn't go under the word 'Women'."
Laughing, Duo threw his arm around Heero's shoulder and messed up his hair. "Shit, dude. I really need you the next time she picks on me." Heero smirked and pulled Duo's braid. It felt good making his braided friend happy. But he didn't have time to praise the victory. Relena had won one battle and Heero had to make sure that she had to suffer a great defeat before the day was over. He was on a mission.
School was almost over and he hadn't found the pink monster until now. This was the last chance. Preparing himself as he walked after her, he mentally made a note to wash his hands after touching her.
"Relena."
Grabbing her arm, Heero turned the girl around so he could see her face. Not that he wanted to, but his glare wouldn't work if he stared at the back of her skull. When the pink menace saw that the boy that had dared touch her was the object from all her wet dreams, she smiled.
"Heero. It's so good to see you. Can I help you with something?" Heero nodded and walked towards a private spot in the hall. He didn't care if anybody heard him, but he didn't like to have people ears dropping on him.
Relena smiled sweetly and quickly adjusted her dress. Maybe if she showed some more skin. Heero looked away as she started to adjust her dress, totally aware that if she decided to show some more skin, he would throw up.
"What can I do for you, Heero," she asked, a sickly sweet smile on her face. "Do you want to follow me home after we're done. I'm sure the two of us could do a lot of fun activities together." Raising an eyebrow, she licked her lips seductively.
'Oh, God. I must do this before I get sick.' Taking a deep breath, he tried his best to ignore the light brushes over his arm. "Relena......... I want you to leave Duo and the rest alone." Giggling, she looked him straight into his eyes. "Oh, Heero. It's so sweet of you to defend them, but you don't have to. Maxwell's nothing more than a little whore and his friends aren't any better."
Swatting her hand away, Heero glared. "How can you say that," he hissed, pushing her away from him. "How can you make up such rumors. Have you no shame? Duo and the rest are much more decent than the people you call friends. You have no right to hurt him like that, just because he likes men instead of women. I bet you wouldn't have been so nasty towards him if he was into women."
Turning, Heero started to walk away only to stop when he heard her whimper. Smirking, he turned his head to face her. She was crying and streams of black ran down her cheek. Walking back, he dried away some of the tears.
"Heero........."
Leaning in, he whispered, smirk still on place. "And just for the record, Darlian. I think Duo is twice as hot as you are and if he asked me, I don't think I would have said no."
