Dear diary,
Well, Heero gave you to me this morning, and I must say it was an unexpected present! (Mental note, do not let Trowa get his hands on this. For a guy so quiet he sure is nosy!)
Anyway, to relate today's events...
It was a perfectly normal breakfast table in a perfectly normal house, except for one thing, well two really. The first is that I live there, yep! My name is Duo Maxwell, and I'm head of a company called Peacecraft Enterprises (long story of how I came to run it.) Anyway I happen to like my job.
The second reason for this is slightly abnormal house is the fact that there is four guys living under the same roof. It's quite a large house but for some reason the only bedroom used is mine! So we all sleep in the same room. (Another long story.)
In fact scratch what I told you about it being a normalish house. It's not.
First of all there's Heero. The guy hardly ever speaks, killed my boss, was on the run from some kidnappers for a long time and seems to posses an uncanny psychic ability when it comes to me. Still, the guy is my best friend.
Second of all there's Trowa. The quiet one. He too was on the run from kidnappers for a long time; he works for my company and is second in command. His best buddy is Quatre Robera Winner.
Then there's Quatre, best buddy to Trowa, he had to hide out as a tramp for a long time before being found by us.
We had all become friends at a stuffy dinner party; this was before my parents had died five years ago. Then they had all disappeared, it eventually turned out that my cousin had killed my parents and had kidnapped my friends.
In the end I shot my cousin, I don't want to think about it or talk about it. She was mad, end of story.
So, anyway, back to my story. We're all sitting round the breakfast table, Heero and I both munching on cereal and Trowa eating toast. Quatre wasn't even up yet. And people say I'm lazy!
Hilde was cleaning the place so we had all decided to get out of the house early; Heero had demanded that I take him with me when I went to work, so for once I agreed.
We were just making good our escape when I heard a sleepy voice from the top of the old wooden stairs. "Duo, where's everybody going?" Quatre was standing there, hair sticking up in strange places, eyes blurred with sleep.
"Sorry Q!" I yelled up the stairs, "Hilde's on the warpath with her duster, we'll see you later!"
"No Duo wait!" I heard him scream, but I was already slamming the door and running down the old red brick steps.
Outside I met up with Trowa and Heero and we set off across the street and down into the underground sub station.
As we arrived at work I studiously avoided the revolving doors, having opted for the safer route of the automatics, another long story.
I kept getting funny looks from people, until I saw they weren't looking at me, they were looking at Heero. Uh oh not good.
"Maybe I should get into an office or something, I seem to be attracting a lot of attention. That can't be good." See what I mean? That guy must be psychic.
As I hustled him into my office I banged into Howard. The sub-manager. "Ah Duo," he said, peering through his thick glasses. "I need a word with you about..." his voice trailed off and he stared at Heero, who calmly stared back, one eyebrow oh so slightly raised, arms folded across his chest in a defensive position.
"Oh my... Duo, who is this?"
"Oh Howard, this is Heero Yuy."
"And is he...?"
Once again his voice trailed off, and I blushed slightly, see, references have often been made to the fact that Heero and I should "get together" as it were. But I mean the guy is a good friend, but I don't think anything like that could happen.
I quickly made excuses and dragged Heero down the hall and into my office. Howard still hanging about in the hallway. Quickly I stammered out an excuse for Howard's strange behaviour and flumped down at my desk.
Through the entire tirade of my excuses Heero had not said a single word. And now I looked at him, eyes worried, he would have been telling me to shut up and do something useful\ run the company\ cut it out. Now he was just quiet.
"Heero," I said timidly, "what's wrong?"
"Huh? Oh nothing."
I nodded mutely and sat back in my chair fiddling with the end of my braid. Twisting the loose ends around my fingers.
Just as I had begun to relax Trowa burst in, closely followed by another work associate.
"Duo, we've got a situation on floor twelve, it's the machinery we ordered, it's gone wrong."
I sighed and closed my eyes momentarily. Wishing I was somewhere, anywhere, else.
"Duo?" Trowa prompted, "We have a problem?"
"Yeah, yeah," I sighed, "I'm coming......"
When I got back to the office the first thing I saw was Heero, arms once more folded across his chest, standing in his I'm Not Going To Take Any Excuses We Have To Talk pose. "Uh, hi." I smiled weakly.
"Duo, you're running yourself down and you know it. We're going on holiday."
Great, so instead of, "Duo would you like to go on holiday?" It's, "Duo you're going on holiday." Just peachy, did I even want to go on holiday?
For a while I considered my options. Number1-tell Heero no and probably get beaten into a pulp until I agreed. Number2-say yes and then not turn up at the airport. Then Heero would kill me anyway. Or number 3- go on holiday.
Hmmm, that's a tough call, killed, killed or survives and gets a break. That's a really hard choice boy's and girls. I think I'll have to take the holiday.
I nodded and was rewarded with Heero's smile. "Good," he said, "I've already booked the hotel tickets..."
So you see diary I'm going on holiday, ah rest and peace. I hope nothing happens while I'm away.
June 21st 203
Dear diary,
Well, I'm finally on holiday...
I was dragged kicking and screaming from my warm cosy bed at three in the morning so we could be at the airport on time. THREE IN THE MORNING!! Anyway, as I was driven to the airport I sat in the back, rubbing my eyes and generally trying to make myself appear human.
As I climbed out of the car I spotted Heero making his way towards me. Without so much as a murmur he grabbed my arm and began steering me at a frantic pace towards an open gate.
"Good morning Duo." I muttered sarcastically to myself, "How are you? Sorry to drag you out of bed this early." Heero looked back at me and rolled his eyes in such a way that they quite plainly said "shut up."
I decided now wasn't the time to go into one of my sarcastic wisecracking sprees so I just kept my mouth shut, I know, gasp! Me keeping my mouth shut, amazing! But there you go.
We were seated on the plane before Heero said a single word, and even then it was only, "Hi." I ask you!
Soon a friendly airhostess came around offering us tea or coffee, but all I wanted to do was sleep. Just as I had closed my eyes there was a sharp jab in the ribs from my left hand side. Opening my eyes I glared crossly at Heero, "What you do that for, I was just dropping off."
He merely shrugged, but as soon as my eyes closed it happened again. Grrrrr! I opened, my eyes once more and stared at the now oh so innocent looking Heero. Hmmph. I decided it was payback time.
Twisting into a sideways sitting position I waited till he had begun to look out of the window before sharply poking him in the ribs, as soon as he turned round I had my eyes closed pretending to be fast asleep. I did it again, and was about to do it a third time when his hand shot out and grabbed my wrist. Sheesh the guy hadn't even turned round!
After that the rest of the journey passed uneventfully until we banged down on the runway. Then it was rush, rush, rush to get to our hotel. Heero of course appeared to be in his element. That guy is to fast for words.
We were pointed in the direction of our room (it's number 231) and then told to unpack.
Once the receptionist had gone, I took a long look around. The room contained two beds, both of a fairly large size, a big window with a balcony that could be accessed by a sliding door and an adjoining bathroom. Wandering out onto the balcony I saw that apart from the railing there was nothing to stop someone from plunging over onto the sharp rocks below.
I shivered at these morbid thoughts and walked back inside. Flopping down on the bed I saw Heero had already put away all his clothes and toiletries. "So, what are we going to do this afternoon?" he asked, eyes twinkling slightly, "go rock climbing, water skiing, sky diving or maybe bungee jumping?" I groaned loudly.
"H, do you always have to be so active? I just want to lie down and,"
"Go to sleep." Heero chorused with me. "I was joking Duo, lets just chill by the pool okay?"
"That seriously sounds good to me."
So that's what we did for the rest of the day diary, just me'n Heero, chilling out. I will say this, although I complained about being dragged on holiday I'm kinda glad now, it's fun!
Uh oh, I think I hear Heero coming, we're going to the restaurant for tea, got to run.
June 30th 203
Well I haven't written for so long because so much has happened! I'm still on holiday and here's what's happened over the last few days...
I woke up the next morning with a wonderful warm feeling, almost like I had been in a warm relaxing bath all night. Rolling onto my side I glanced out of bleary eyes across the room at Heero. Seeing that he was still asleep I decided to grab another couple of winks but before I could even close my eyes again a knock sounded at the door.
Groaning I sat up and rubbed my eyes. Heero had come awake instantly as is his habit. Padding across the room I pulled open the door, instead of a messenger or some such all I saw was a breakfast cart and a smiling waitress. "What is this?" I asked, my voice coming out somewhere between a croak and a growl. I gulped and tried again. "What are you doing banging on my door in the middle of the night?"
"I'm sorry sir, I was requested to wake you at six this morning." And with that she was gone, leaving only the breakfast trolley. Spinning I glared at Heero, who was making no attempt to hide his grin. "What do you think you are doing?" I hissed at him.
"We're going sky diving today, remember? I did warn you yesterday."
I groaned, "I thought you were joking."
"No joke."
So that's how I came to be standing on the edge of a plane with only a parachute to protect me from hitting the ground with an almighty splat. Gulping I looked down, seeing the earth beneath me like a patchwork quilt I broke out in a sweat.
Carefully I shuffled back, but only managed to get two steps before reality decided to give me a shove in the right direction, in the form of Heero Yuy. Literally.
"Yaaaaaaah!" I screamed, desperately hoping this was not real, but it was. The wind rushing past me, and the ground getting closer...
Uh, oh, parachute. Twisting I pulled the cord and with a whoosh! The parachute opened and I gently floated towards the ground.
Mentally cursing I wondered how I could get back at Heero for this. Strangle him? Hmmm, that was a possibility. Oh well...
I began to concentrate on how I was going to land, when I saw I was heading straight for a sheep field, oh damn, as I began to head most defiantly towards the ground I saw I was in direct firing range for landing on a sheep. "Get out of the way you blasted animal!" I screamed, desperately waving my legs in a sort of windmill pattern. The sheep stared placidly at me for a few moments before continuing to munch on its grass.
Frantically I tried to change direction, but no, the parachute decided that now was a perfect time to disconnect from me, and I fell the last few feet before landing with an undignified splat on my face. Ow.
As I climbed to my feet I saw Heero float gently down and land gracefully a few feet away from me. "Hey Duo, nice landing." He grinned. Well that just topped the entire thing off that did. Not only had I been shoved out of a plane and forced to land ungracefully I had had an audience too. Just peachy. As you can see, my life is a bed of roses, with sharp thorns in them.
For the rest of the day I was forced to do all the other things Heero wanted. This included Bungee jumping, Deep-sea diving and attempts at tightrope walking, yes tightrope walking! By the end of the day I had had enough.
"I'm going back to the room," I snapped at Heero on my way past after a third and final attempt to walk across a piece of wire without landing on my butt. "You pick up tea and I'll see you in there."
Back in the room I turned on the TV intending to just veg out in front of it. Seeing an old re-run of one of my favourite films I started to watch. Halfway through the film I started to cry, (hey! it was a particularly sad film, give me a break!) and by the end I had used up an entire box of tissues.
Just as I was blowing my nose for the 55th time Heero decided to come back. As soon as he saw me crying he dropped the boxes of pizza and ran towards me. "Duo what's wrong, are you hurt, can I do anything?" he asked, concern clouding his eyes.
"No." I sniffled, my hand reaching for another tissue in amongst the dirty ones, "it's just..." I sniffed again.
"Shhhh, it's alright, I'm here now," whispered Heero, "there's no need to cry." He pulled me into a warm comforting hug.
"No Heero, you don't understand..." I began, desperately trying to get across to him that no one had upset me.
"Don't say anything Duo, you'll be alright."
I sighed and let myself be hugged, before pulling away from him and trying again. "Heero, nothing happened to me, it was the film."
For a while he just stared at me, confusion swirling in his eyes, before he burst out laughing. "You, you were crying over a film?" he managed to gasp, in between peals of mirth.
"Hey, it happens to be a very emotionally moving film." I said indignantly. Then I began to smile to, then to laugh. "The look on your face when you walked in, I'll never forget that!"
Soon we were both rolling on the floor with a serious case of the giggles. Every time one of us started to calm down, the other would say something that would start us up again.
So that's about all that's happened diary, after that active day we both just sat by the pool for the rest of the time, haven't had anything from Trowa or Quatre yet.
July 2nd 203
Dear diary,
Well, I'm writing this on the plane, yes, we had to cancel the rest of the holiday as something awful has happened. See, Trowa and Quatre have gone missing. Heero is sitting next to me and I've never seen him looking so grim. His face has that pinched expression back that he had finally started to lose while we were on holiday. Anyway here's what happened...
Friday morning I was woken by a loud banging sound coming from the door. Sitting up I looked at Heero to see if this was one of his early morning tricks. But he looked just as surprised as me to hear the banging noise emanating from the door.
Quickly he smoothed his bangs down into a more normal position from where they were sticking up, and padded across the room, bare feet making no noise on the carpet.
