Heero came home, kicked off his shoes and slumped on the couch. Duo was in their room, packing, when he heard the door open and shut. He hadn't been expecting Heero home, so he cautiously went to look.
He pressed his back against the wall and cautiously made his way to a corner where he could see whoever was in the living room, without being seen, himself. He wasn't going to yell and ask if it were Heero, because that would just tell whoever it was that someone was in the house and where he was at, if it wasn't Heero.
He let out a breath of relief when he saw that it was Heero. "You scared me, Heero. I wasn't expectin' ya home, so soon." Duo said, coming out of his hiding place and sitting next to Heero.
"I'm sorry, koi. I didn't mean to scare you. I should have told you I was home." Heero said, scooting closer to Duo and wrapping his arms around him. "That's alright. You look so tired, you haven't been gone very long, what happened?" Duo asked. "I was trying to get our jobs back, but I only ended up arguing with Frank." Heero said. "Why doesn't that sound good to me? What'd he say?" Duo asked. "No dice. We are now, officially unemployed." Heero said. "Damn. We need to look for another job, then." Duo said.
It looked, to Duo, as if California and his plans were going to be put on hold...again.
"No, I promised you we would go to California and we're going to California." Heero said. "But, Heero, we need a place to live when we come back and without work, this is gonna be taken away." Duo said, gesturing to all their furniture and their apartment in general. "No, it wont. We'll just tell the Turners exactly what we're going to do. I promised you that we were going to go to California, but we just got fired and we're going to need time to get the next rent payment in, because we'll be job hunting or in California." Heero said. "But, Heero, do you really think that they'll be very happy that they wont be getting rent?" Duo asked. "Probably not, but they're reasonable people and they'll understand." Heero said. "Well...alright, if you're sure." Duo said. "I'm sure. I promised you and that's all there is to it." Heero said.
@@@@@@@@@
The next day they were all packed and on the plane to California. "I really hate flying in something I'M not piloting." Heero said, sitting down in his window seat. "So, you wouldn't even trust me?" Duo asked. He was only joking, of course. "Of course, I would trust you. I would trust you, the other guys and myself to pilot something you and I were going to be in, but no one else." Heero said. "Do you want me to hold your hand?" Duo asked. He knew Heero would probably say 'no', but he just felt like asking. He liked doing things like that to Heero.
"No, I don't need it." Heero said. Duo knew that the real reason for that, was that he didn't feel up to seeing some of the passengers stare, point and whisper and all that other crap that closed minded people would do. People were already staring at Duo, because of the length of his hair, and he didn't want to have to listen to their crap about two boys loving each other. A lot of people thought it was just a chosen way of life, but it really wasn't. Maybe, you COULD choose to be gay, but for Duo and Heero it was just something natural. Neither had asked for it, their lives would have been much, much simpler if they weren't involved with each other, but the fact still remained that they loved each other. They couldn't help it. They didn't just go looking around malls for guys and then pick one saying 'that's the one I'm going to fall in love with' and then do it. It wasn't voice command. It just happened and they didn't care. They loved each other and that's all there was to it. People could think that they chose that way of life or that they really did love each other or that they were disgusting. They didn't care. The fact still remained, though, that no matter how much they didn't care, it still hurt to watch people do that to them. It hurt to get those dirty and disapproving looks, saying what they were doing wasn't right and the whispers and some were even so bold as to come up to them and publicly ridicule them for loving each other. That they would never fit in, because of their feelings for each other and so forth. They didn't need it. They wouldn't take it. They didn't need a fight on the plane and that's what would happen if they even did something as innocent as hand holding.
After a little while of flying Duo glanced at Heero again. He did a double take as he noticed Heero was squeezing the life out of his armrest. "Heero, that's what my hand's for." Duo said, taking his hand. Heero looked at him for a moment, then smiled. He squeezed Duo's hand, tightly, as Duo squeezed back.
"How long, before we touch down?" Heero asked. "Not for a few hours, yet, hon." Duo said, softly. They were already getting a few stares. Mostly from little kids. Their mothers lightly hit them in the arm, telling them it was rude to stare, some mothers glancing over with disapproving looks. Duo would have been shouting at them already, just for doing that, if they hadn't been on a plane.
Heero had managed to hide a few things very well from all of the pilots, but once the wars were over, Duo found a few things out about Heero. Including that he didn't like closets, because Dr. J threw him into a closet and locked the door to get rid of Heero's fear of the dark, so Heero really didn't like closets. He also didn't like heights very well. He couldn't stand people, other than he and the other guys, flying or driving something he and/or Duo was going to be on or in. He could find a way to live with the death of friends and others he knew, but losing Duo or leaving Duo behind wasn't something he thought he could cope with. All things Duo had once used to prove his point that Heero, in fact, was human. He had fears, just like all other humans, he felt the need to hide those fears, like other humans, and he could love, just like other humans. He could even shed tears like other humans.
Heero could cope with all of his fears, except the fear of losing Duo or leaving him behind. He couldn't deal with that. Truth be told, Duo knew he couldn't bear to lose Heero or leave him behind, either. Time might come when that would happen, but Duo wouldn't leave him. Most likely he'd be there watching over him, whether he ended up in Hell or Heaven, he'd be watching over Heero while he lived on. Though, Duo didn't plan on going to Hell. Once upon a time, he truly figured he would, but if so, why would God send his most beautiful angel to be with him?
@@@@@@@@@
After an hour or so, Heero had calmed down enough to go to sleep. Duo had to make sure the stewardess didn't give him all the alcohol he wanted. The poor stewardess was almost at her wits end, when Duo took off the headphones for the radio and took the drinks, of which consisted almost every one the poor woman had, and gave them back. Heero rarely made a scene like that, which had Duo worried at first.
Duo was glad Heero was sleeping peacefully, now. At least they weren't getting anymore stares. They really were used to it, but it still hurt....or in this case it was a little embarrassing.
The plane hit some turbulence and Heero woke up with a start. "What's going on?" Heero asked, quickly. "Nothing's wrong, love, just some turbulence. We aren't going to crash or anything like that. Believe me, if we were going to crash, I wouldn't be calm...at all." Duo stated. Heero smiled at that. "If that was a joke, it was horrible." Heero said, still smiling. "I know it, but I don't care." Duo said. "Somehow, I already knew that." Heero answered him. Duo shook his head. "Anyway, we're almost there." Duo said.
"Good. Praise the Lord." Heero said, sighing at the same time. Duo laughed a little. He'd never heard Heero say THAT before. Heero wasn't always such as strong believer in God, but he did always say that Duo was 'Heaven sent'. Duo hadn't heard that phrase too many times, but he just figured that it meant he was sent from Heaven. Duo never took time to memorize stuff like that or even pay attention, so it was understandable that he wouldn't have been sure what it meant, but he just took an educated guess. He wasn't stupid.
"Heero, you went to sleep before I could tell you a few things about your little scene with the drinks." Duo said, looking at Heero accusingly. Heero gave a nervous laugh. "I, uh, suddenly feel tired. I better take a nap, before we land." Heero said. "Oh, no you don't, Odin Lowe Jr. You are going to sit right there and listen to this." Duo said, making it sound worse than it really was, by using Heero's real name.
"Don't you ever do that, again. You know better than that. You hardly ever drink, anyway. What's goin' on with you?" Duo asked. "I...I was just so nervous. I only wanted a few drinks." Heero said. "A few?" Duo asked. Heero nodded his head, wondering if the compartment above his seat was big enough for him to fit in, if he managed to move the bags that were up there.
"Heero, you almost had every drink the woman had on the cart." Duo pointed out. "Alright, I'm sorry, I wont do it again." Heero said. Duo raised an eyebrow at Heero. "Until we get back on the plane to come home." Heero said, smiling nervously, as he finished. Duo rolled his eyes.
A sign came on, telling the passengers that they needed to fasten their seatbelts. Duo did so and Heero followed suit.
@@@@@@@@
Once they got to their hotel room, finally, Heero went to take a nap. This gave Duo the perfect opportunity to call and see if Quatre and the others had made it, yet.
Author's note: I have a new e-mail address. Well, I have two, now, anyway. I'll check them both everyday. Both of my e-mails are, traci1985babe@hotmail.com or vampiric_goddess2001@yahoo.com
