That's The Way It Is!
Chapter 5
By Ivy
What the hell just happened? Duo asked himself as he brought his hand up to the spot where Heero had kissed him. A small smile spread across his face. For once Duo was going to have a real friend who didn't care what he was attracted to. Maybe he can even be more than my friend. Duo thought with an evil grin spreading across his face.
Duo sat down in one of the plush chairs in front of the fire and slipped into sleep with a contented smile on his face.
Duo woke up an hour later and made his way to his dorm to sleep some more in his own bed. He was surprised when he got there and the lights were off. Hoping that he wouldn't disturb Heero, he quietly opened the door and turned on the lights. Duo looked around the room and noticed that Heero wasn't there. He shrugged his shoulders and went over to his dresser to put on his black silk boxers and an old tee. He reached under his bed and pulled out an old manga. He lay down on the bed and began to flip through the pages.
After about reading Duo eyelids were drooping. He shoved the manga aside and went to go turn off the lights. He jumped when the door opened. Heero walked in and noticed Duo standing there.
"Oi Heero, where have you been?" Duo asked as Heero brushed past him and sat down on Duo's bed.
Heero shrugged his shoulders and gave Duo a sheepish grin, "I got lost."
Duo laughed and sat down next to Heero. Duo yawned, "I think I'm gonna go to bed now," He lay down on the bed. Heero watched as he closed his eyes and slipped into sleep. Heero moved carefully so that he wouldn't disturb Duo and Lay down next to him. He listened to Duo's snoring and slowly drifted off to join Duo in La La land.
***
Duo awoke to find an arm wrapped around his waist and his head nestled in the crook of someone's neck. Duo had his arms around him, pulling the body closer to his. Duo opened his eyes to find himself looking at Heero's face. His eyes were closed and his features were soft with a wistful smile tugging at the corners of his lips. Duo stared at his full lips and started to lean in but was startled to find two cobalt blue eyes straight at him.
"Gomen Heero," Duo said as he disentangled his arms from around Heero's waist. "I must have thought you were a pillow last night and hugged you."
"Hn," Heero said as he sat up and got out of bed, "I should have fallen asleep in my own bed." Seeing the time, Heero walked over to his dresser and pulled out one his school uniform and began to get dressed.
After stretching out on the bed Duo got up and began to get dressed as well. After he was dressed he took his hair out of its messed up braid and began to untangle it. He ran the brush through his long chestnut hair a few times; them separated it into three sections and began to braid his hair.
Heero found his gaze wandering across the room to where Duo was braiding his long chestnut hair. Heero had been awake for many hours just watching Duo sleep in his arms. He fit so perfectly in the crook of his neck. Heero sighed and pushed the thoughts from his mind as took out his comb and tried to straighten his hair. When he was done trying he sat down on Duo's bed and waited for him to finish.
When he was done they made their way down to the dinning room for breakfast. As they walked into the room towards two empty chairs, the conversation stopped and several heads turned in their direction. The boys shot Duo looks of hatred and disgust. Duo looked around the room with a somber look on his face and after seeing several of the glares; he bowed his head and quietly sat down. Before his head had gone down, Heero had seen the light in his eyes go out. Heero clenched his fists at his sides and hated anyone that would ever even think about hurting his Duo. When did I come to think of him as mine? Heero glanced worriedly at Duo.
"Don't worry Heero-san, I'm used to it," Duo said with his eyes fixed on his plate. Heero wanted some much to reach out and hold the braided boy in his arms, but he didn't want the students to really have something to talk about. He slipped his hand under the table and gently squeezed Duo's knee reassuringly. Duo's eyes went wide and he looked up at Heero. Heero smiled and took his hand away. Duo tried to smile but it just didn't work. He reached out and plopped some eggs on his plate.
Heero had to sit through breakfast watching the hurt flash in Duo's eyes every time he caught one of the looks the others were shooting his way. All Heero could was sit by and watch when all he wanted to do was get Duo out of there so he didn't have to take this shit.
When breakfast was over the two boys silently got up and walked out of the dinning room. The quietly walked back to their dorm to grab their stuff before classes started.
Duo reached their door first and he swung the door open and darted inside. Heero followed closely behind him. He found Duo thrown across the bed, his slim frame shacking from his sobs. Heero walked over to the bed and sat down next to Duo. He began to rub his back in a comforting motion. Duo sat up and buried his head in Heero's chest.
"Shh, it's going to be okay," Heero held Duo tightly against him and buried his nose in Duo's sweet smelling hair.
"It will never be okay. There will always be someone who will tease me for what I am. You of all people should know that."
Heero sighed and brought Duo up into his lap. He pulled away from him and brought his face up so that he was looking him in the eye, "You," Heero touched Duo's nose, "Are the only person that I've ever told," Heero took Duo's braid in his hand and twirled the end around his fingers. He took out the tie that held the braid in place and began to unbraid Duo's hair. It was softer and smoother than anything Heero's hands had ever come in contact with before. The smell of his hair surrounded them in a cloud. Heero inhaled the scent. Cherry blossoms.
Duo took his chin out of Heero's grasp, "Why?"
"My father," Heero didn't have to say anything more because Duo understood. Heero ran his thumb across Duo's lower lip. Duo closed his eyes and leaned forward, bringing his lips up to Heero's. Heero pushed his lips against his in a sweet caress. Duo ran his tongue along Heero's bottom lip, seeking entrance. Heero parted his lips and let him in. He let him explore the inside of his mouth for awhile before regaining control of the kiss. He slipped into Duo's mouth, not leaving until he had touched every inch with his tongue. He ran kisses down the side of Duo's neck, stopping just above his pulse. He bit down lightly and heard Duo moan deep within his throat.
"Oh shit!" Duo shouted as he jumped off the bed and quickly redid his braid and grabbed his bag. "Hurry Heero! We're gonna be late for class." Duo ran out of the room with his braid swinging behind him. Heero stood up and grabbed his bag and jogged out after Duo.
The two boys raced down the halls. They burst through the doors to their class.
"So nice of you to join us Maxwell-kun and Lowe-kun," The teacher said as she turned away from the board to look at them.
"Gomen nasai Nasuki-sama," Duo said as he and Heero bowed to the young women.
"Take a seat," Nasuki-sama said with a sigh as she turned back to the board. The only seats left empty were two at the very front of the room. They took a seat and Duo shot Heero a crazy grin.
"You boys will report here after classes for your detention." Nasuki-sama said as she wrote an equation on the board and began to explain to the class how to solve it. Heero had to laugh at the look of defeat on Duo's face.
Heero subconsciously took notes as math class dragged on. He stifled a yawn and stole a glance at Duo. His head was resting on his arms and there was a drop of drool in the corner of his mouth. The teacher was still talking about algebraic equations and Heero wished that he was alone with Duo. As that thought crossed his mind so did many other thoughts.
Duo awoke with a start as the bell rang; signifying that it was time to move on to the next class. Duo had Science next but Heero was scheduled to History.
"See ya at lunch!" Duo said as he waved to Heero and rushed out the door towards his next class.
Heero stood up and walked out of class, trying to figure out which way to turn to get to his next class. Heero was about to ask a student walking by for help, when he turn and around and glanced at him disgustedly. After getting lost at least a dozen times, he found the classroom. Of course it was twenty minutes into the class so as he walked in, the whole class turned to see who was late.
"You're late Odin-san," The teacher said as he looked up from his desk.
"Gomen ne. I got lost in the halls on my way to class," Heero said, bowing as he had done in his previous class.
"Quite understandable. Please take a seat."
Heero sat and sighed. This was going to be a long day.
***
Heero again got lost as he made his way to the dinning room for lunch. But after he asked directions from about four different teachers, he finally found the wooden double doors. He walked in expecting to see Duo at the end of the table saving him a seat. But Heero couldn't find him anywhere. So he sat down and saved a seat for him, but he didn't show up at all. Heero made sure that he saw whom everyone was as the stepped through the door. Heero wasn't even sure what he had eaten.
When lunch was over Heero stood up and walked out of the dinning room. He thought about going up to their room to see if he was there, but he knew he'd never be able to find it and get to his next class on time. In no time at all the halls emptied and Heero was left all alone walking through the halls. Heero quickly turned a corner and almost cried out as he smacked into someone.
"Gomen," Heero said as he bent down to pick up the books that he had dropped. He looked up at the other boy, expecting him to say something.
He looked down at Heero with a smitten look on his face, "If I were you Odin-san, I'd stay away from Duo."
"Why would I want to do that?" He asked, looking up at the boy blankly.
He leaned in close and whispered in his ear, "He could earn you a bad reputation, with him being gay and all," When Heero heard this, he laughed and walked away. If you only knew.
***
Heero walked out of the dinning room after dinner and hurried up to his dorm. Duo had been missing since this morning and Heero was worried about him, though he would never admit that to any one. He opened the door to the dorm and walked in to find Duo lying on his bed looking rather pale. He gave Heero a weak smile as he walked over and sat down next to him on the bed.
"Where have you been?" Duo rolled over so that he was facing Heero.
"I didn't feel so great so I came up here to lay down," Duo carefully laid his head in Heero's lap, "Sorry if I worried you." Heero smiled and ruffled his bangs before bending down and lightly kissing him on the forehead.
"As long as you're all right," Heero shifted on the bed and lay down next to Duo on the bed.
"Of course I am," Duo smiled and threw his arm over Heero's chest, "How was your day?" He asked as he scooted closer to Heero's warm body. Heero wrapped his arms around and proceeded to tell him about his day. He left out the part about what the other student said, knowing that it would upset him. Duo had a good laugh hearing about how many times Heero had gotten lost in the halls. Before long Duo drifted off into a peaceful sleep in Heero's arms. Heero smiled down at his angelic face and rested his head against Duo's. He soon fell asleep his thoughts and dreams filled with images of Duo's sweet face.
That's The Way It Is!
Chapter Six
By Ivy
Duo awoke to find his head buried in Heero's chest. He raised his head and glanced at Heero's face. The muscles of his face were relaxed and there was a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. There was a drop of drool on the corner of his soft lips and Duo reached up and gently wiped it away. He quietly untangled himself from Heero's limbs and made his way to the bathroom for a shower.
He pulled the tie out of his hair and released it so that it was flowing freely down his back. He grabbed the hem of his tank and pulled it over his head. His hair was now cascading down his bare back. Duo stood in front of the mirror, studying his face and body. He loved the feel of his hair moving across his back. It was like and old, warn blanket wrapped around his body. Sometimes he could almost pretend that it was warm loving arms wrapped around him.
Duo leaned over the tub and turned on the shower. He stripped out of his boxers and stepped into the warm shower. He let the steaming water wash over him as he slipped into a peaceful daydream about Heero. He absentmindedly picked up the soap and began to wash his body. As he went to set the bar of soap back on the little ledge, his hands began to shake violently and suddenly his vision began to blur. He dropped the soap as his knees gave out and he collapsed on the floor of the tub. His whole body began to quake and Duo grabbed his head and as he tried to stop the floor from spinning around. He lay down and curled up into a fetal position with his arms wrapped tightly around his knees. He knew he should call for Heero but if he did Heero would ask questions and Duo didn't want to have to answer them yet.
The shaking didn't stop until long after the hot water had run out. Duo carefully stepped out of the shower and wrapped his fluffy towel around himself. Duo took his robe off the back of the door and wrapped it tightly around himself. He stepped back into the room to find it filled with sunlight and Heero was sitting on the bed reading a book already dressed. He stood up and wrapped his arms around Duo's damp frame.
"I was getting worried about you. You were taking so long in the shower," He said as he pushed Duo towards his dresser, "Get dressed," Heero lightly slapped Duo's ass as he pushed him. Duo turned and gasped, looking at Heero with his mouth hanging open. His face broke into a bright smile and he went about the room getting dressed.
When Duo was dressed he turned around to face Heero. His eyes grew wide as he found a blue blanket spread out on the floor with two plates heaping with food on top. Heero was leaning against the window and staring out at the school grounds. Duo ran over to him and enveloped him in a huge hug. Heero smiled down him and planted a light kiss on his lips.
"Where did you get all this food?" Duo looked up at Heero as they sat down on the blanket.
"I went down to the kitchen while you were taking a shower. I hope you like everything," A faint blush spread across Heero's cheeks.
"Arigatou Hee-chan!" Duo exclaimed as he glomped Heero again. Heero laughed and wrapped his arms around his braided baka. Duo immediately began to stuff his cheeks full of food. While he was in the middle of chewing he leaned over and gave Heero a sloppy kiss on the cheek.
After they were finished eating they walked down the halls towards their first class. They walked through the door, bowed slightly to Nasuki-sama and went to sit down in the back of the classroom.
They were stopped by Nasuki-sama, "You boys never showed up for your detention last," She gave them a stern look and tapped her foot impatiently.
Duo quickly bowed with a sheepish look on his face, "Gomen ne Nasuki-sama, I wasn't feeling well yesterday afternoon and Odin-san was looking after me. The detentions totally slipped our minds." Duo knew that Nasuki-sama would excuse them because she knew about Duo's condition. He just hoped that she wouldn't say anything, he wanted to wait for the right moment to tell Heero.
She nodded her head and dismissed them with a wave of her hand, "Just try and remember to come tonight," She turned and began to write today's lesson on the board. The two seated themselves in the back of the classroom and settled in for another long day.
By lunch Duo began feeling a little dizzy again, but he didn't want to worry Heero so he went into the dining room and waited for him to come in. Heero rushed through the doors five minutes late and quickly made his way toward the seat that Duo had saved for him. Duo flashed him a smile and they both ate their lunches in silence.
As they were making their way out of the dining room Duo placed his hand lightly on Heero's shoulder, "Heero-san, I'm not feeling so well so I'm going up to our room to take a nap. Come wake me for detentions."
Heero nodded and leaned in close to his ear, "Please stop calling me Heero-san, I prefer Hee-chan,"
Duo looked up at him with shining eyes and smiled at him, "Ja Hee-chan!" He exclaimed over the crowd as he was swept up to his room on the river of people.
***
After classes Heero quickly made his way up to the dorms to wake Duo. He jogged lightly down the halls, trying to get there fast so they wouldn't be late for their detention. He quietly opened the opened the door and stepped into the dark room. He reached across the wall and flicked up the switch. Duo was sprawled over Heero's bed with his face buried in his pillow. His shirt was halfway undone and his hand was wrapped tightly around his braid. Heero tiptoed over to the bed and placed his hand lightly on Duo's soft cheek. Heero drew his hand back, surprised to find the skin burning with a feverish heat. Duo moaned softly in his sleep and his face scrunched up in pain. Heero went into the bathroom and came back out with a cool wet cloth and he placed it on Duo's head before running out of the room to find Mrs. Murdle.

What the hell just happened? Duo asked himself as he brought his hand up to the spot where Heero had kissed him. A small smile spread across his face. For once Duo was going to have a real friend who didn't care what he was attracted to. Maybe he can even be more than my friend. Duo thought with an evil grin spreading across his face.

"Where did you get all this food?" Duo looked up at Heero as they sat down on the blanket.
"I went down to the kitchen while you were taking a shower. I hope you like everything," A faint blush spread across Heero's cheeks.
"Arigatou Hee-chan!" Duo exclaimed as he glomped Heero again. Heero laughed and wrapped his arms around his braided baka. Duo immediately began to stuff his cheeks full of food. While he was in the middle of chewing he leaned over and gave Heero a sloppy kiss on the cheek.
After they were finished eating they walked down the halls towards their first class. They walked through the door, bowed slightly to Nasuki-sama and went to sit down in the back of the classroom.
They were stopped by Nasuki-sama, "You boys never showed up for your detention last," She gave them a stern look and tapped her foot impatiently.
Duo quickly bowed with a sheepish look on his face, "Gomen ne Nasuki-sama, I wasn't feeling well yesterday afternoon and Odin-san was looking after me. The detentions totally slipped our minds." Duo knew that Nasuki-sama would excuse them because she knew about Duo's condition. He just hoped that she wouldn't say anything, he wanted to wait for the right moment to tell Heero.
She nodded her head and dismissed them with a wave of her hand, "Just try and remember to come tonight," She turned and began to write today's lesson on the board. The two seated themselves in the back of the classroom and settled in for another long day.
By lunch Duo began feeling a little dizzy again, but he didn't want to worry Heero so he went into the dining room and waited for him to come in. Heero rushed through the doors five minutes late and quickly made his way toward the seat that Duo had saved for him. Duo flashed him a smile and they both ate their lunches in silence.
As they were making their way out of the dining room Duo placed his hand lightly on Heero's shoulder, "Heero-san, I'm not feeling so well so I'm going up to our room to take a nap. Come wake me for detentions."
Heero nodded and leaned in close to his ear, "Please stop calling me Heero-san, I prefer Hee-chan,"
Duo looked up at him with shining eyes and smiled at him, "Ja Hee-chan!" He exclaimed over the crowd as he was swept up to his room on the river of people.

After classes Heero quickly made his way up to the dorms to wake Duo. He jogged lightly down the halls, trying to get there fast so they wouldn't be late for their detention. He quietly opened the opened the door and stepped into the dark room. He reached across the wall and flicked up the switch. Duo was sprawled over Heero's bed with his face buried in his pillow. His shirt was halfway undone and his hand was wrapped tightly around his braid. Heero tiptoed over to the bed and placed his hand lightly on Duo's soft cheek. Heero drew his hand back, surprised to find the skin burning with a feverish heat. Duo moaned softly in his sleep and his face scrunched up in pain. Heero went into the bathroom and came back out with a cool wet cloth and he placed it on Duo's head before running out of the room to find Mrs. Murdle.
