A quick note: In last chapter's Author's Notes I wrote: "Basically what I'm saying is that I'm not writing something a lot of people have written." Well, that was supposed to be: "Basically what I'm saying is that I hope I'm not writing something a lot of people have written." I just wanted to clear that up. :)

Chapter 3
Heero slammed the door shut and raced down the stairs at an inhuman speed, barely catching himself as he almost fell. He hardly noticed his surroundings as he walked briskly down the sidewalk. /He didn't stop me. I left and he didn't even try to stop me. / He choked and almost stumbled once again. /No, I won't let this get to me. / With a firm resolve, he entered the hotel to get his things.
~~~~~~~~~~
Duo stared at the place where Heero just was. The slamming of the door slammed him out of his trance. He silently got up and looked through the curtain of the window. He saw as Heero came racing from the stairs and started walking down the sidewalk, almost falling once.
"I'm sorry," He mouthed, surprised when no words came out. Normally a person might cry over something like this. But then again, this IS Duo Maxwell. He scoffed at himself.
"Can't do anything right, can you," He taunted at himself. "Follow orders and hurt the people you care about. Disobey them and then I'm the one hurt." His laptop beeped signifying that he had a new message.
"Well this time I'm going to stop thinking about myself and do something that I think is right," With that, he walked to his laptop, scanned the message and promptly deleted it.
Smiling with a renewed satisfaction, he gathered his coat and got up to leave. /Time to pay someone a little visit./
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
J and G looked at the screen in astonishment.
"He just deleted it?" J asked. G nodded.
"It would seem that way..." J glared in response.
"Surely you trained him better than that G,"
"Of course I did! Are you implying that I can't train?" G looked at J angrily. "Sometimes things happen that override all training. Look at your trainee, the perfect example. Love has overriden both of their training," J patted G's arm [1]

A soft knock on the door brought the man back to the present. Brushing his pants off, he walked to the door and opened it cautiously.
"Duo!" He threw his arms around his fiancee's neck. When Duo didn't hug back, he drew away, studying him carefully. /A little pale, shaken up, hmm... nervous?/
"Umm, can I come in?" Duo asked, looking around. The man looked up.
"Oh, yeah, come on in," The man lead Duo inside and seated him in a chair. While the man was occupying himself locking the door, Duo took a good look at him. Short, dirty blonde hair (2), hazel eyes with a nice frame and kinda tall. Not to mention rather handsome.
"Surely it can't take you that long to lock a door Brendan," Duo called. The man turned around sheepishly.
"So you caught me," Brendan said with a sigh. "I was stalling,"
"And why would that be?" Duo asked, rather curious. Brendan looked uncomfortable.
"I just have this feeling that your reasons for being here aren't good," Brendan said looking away. Duo sighed.
"Well, you are correct with that assumption Brendan," Duo said, trying to find the right words.
"You can't marry me, can you?" Brendan asked, looking him right in the eye.
"No, I can't," Duo said, trying not to meet his eyes. Brendan nodded.
"I understand," When Duo looked up, he walked over to the door and held it open. "I hope we can still be friends," Duo nodded and walked out the apartment.
The door shut behind him.

(1) - I'm not trying to hint that J and G are involved here, but you can think that if you want. I've seen a few fics where they are together and I think it's funny.
(2) - for those people who don't know what dirty blonde hair is, it is darker blonde hai. It doesn't mean that his hair is dirty! hehe
Author's Notes:
OK, those are the adjustments, not many huh?
Sorry this chapter took so long to get out. I've been really busy, but I'll try to get more out soon. I'm glad so many people like this so far, :) I love reviews, so please be sure to review!! Thanks!
Always,
