~Part 1~
"Trowa?" Quatre whispered.
"Yes, Little One?" The taller teen looked up from adjusting his gown.
"Do you think those two would ever work things out?" The small blond asked with a toss of his head at the direction of Heero and Duo.
"I honestly don't know," Trowa said shrugging as he struggled with the buttons. "Hey, mind helping with these?"
"Nope." Quatre chuckled lightly. "There," he said as he buttoned the last one.
"Thanks." Trowa pulled Quatre against him and kissed the top of his head. He murmured, "You know, you're the best thing that ever happened to me."
"I know," the blond smirked, snuggling deeper in the embrace.

"He has the nerve..." Duo muttered under his breath but a light hand on his shoulder stopped his self-tirade, he spun around to face a bespectacled Chang Wufei. "Hey, Wu-man! How's the valedictorian handlin' everythin'? Nervous? Man, I would be if I were in your shoes; I'd be heading towards one of the exits right about now!" Duo rambled at the Chinese boy.
"Thanks for your vote of confidence, Maxwell," came the dry reply but Wufei couldn't help the grin spreading across his face. He was glad to see Duo joking again despite of his history of chiding of what he saw as Maxwell's childish behaviour. He loathed to admit it but he missed that old Duo.
"No, prob," Duo grinned. "Ya know, you'll miss me!"
Sighing, the Chinese boy relented, "Sadly, it's true."
A pregnant silence enveloped the two when suddenly; Wufei stepped forward and placed a peck on the other's cheek. He flushed as red as the gown he wore.
"Wufei..." Duo looked dazedly at the now flustered boy, a hand on his own blushing cheek.
"Lookie here, Zechs my good man!" Treize crowed from behind the two boys. "Tsk. Tsk. So soon, Duo?" An elegant brow rose.
"Aww, aren't they sweet, Treize!" Zechs agreed with a leer.
"Oh, gawd." Wufei and Duo flushed even darker.
"What are you guys doing here?" Duo scowled, eyes narrowed at the two older boys.
"My, my little Duo," Treize said patting the shorter boy's head with his hand. "I'm here for family and so is Zechs."
The tall blond nodded. "True, it's not everyday that my sweet, little sister graduates with honours."
Wufei and Duo glanced at each other with twin incredulous looks, both thinking the same thing: "Relena? Sweet?!"
"What?" Zechs eyed them both.
"Nothing." Wufei smiled innocently.
"Absolutely, nothing at all," Duo backed up the claim, his smile even broader than Wufei's.
"Oh...okay..." Zechs said slowly, wearily still eyeing the two.
"Come, Zechs. Let us take leave and find us some seats," Treize spoke up.
With a pointed look to the blond, they sidled up to either sides of Wufei. Zechs to the right and Treize to the raven-haired boy's left. The two young men hooked their arms under Wufei but paused a moment next to Duo before promptly carrying the befuddled valedictorian away.
"Ow!" Duo yelped, rubbing his butt after being pinched by both men.
Treize glanced back with a smug smirk. "Later, Duo dear." He looked down at Wufei on his arm and purred. "So dragon, any plans tonight?"
"Uh..." Wufei looked helplessly at the two young men he was currently sandwiched between.
Zechs took that as his assent. "Perfect."
Duo shook his head at the retreating forms. "Baka."

Across the other side of the gym, a scowling Heero was leaning against the wall-watching Duo from a safe distance. He saw the three boys with his Duo and their audacity to-to...He was close to running up to either one of the three and slugging them, maybe, all three of them. Hmm. That's something to consider.
If only he had...He had... "Dammit. What is it?" He snapped at his companion.
"I said 'How do you like my hair?'" Relena stated, unfazed at the cobalt glare drilling into her.
"Hn."
"I agree as well." She continued obliviously, preening in front of a compact mirror. "My hair looks better down."
"Hn."
"No, the gloss looks fine to me."
Heero gave her weird look.
~*~
Snap.
Flash.
A moment of blindness and then a sudden heavy weight was attached to Duo's arm. The passing disorientation subsided to reveal an enthusiastic Hilde cheerfully smiling at a camera. "Aw, come on, Duo! Say 'cheese'!"
"Uh, cheese?" The braided boy bemusedly smiled at the general direction of the camera. He couldn't really tell. 'I think the flash burned my retinas!'
"Come on, let's walk!" Red gowns billowed around them as Hilde pulled an unresisting Duo around the gymnasium. An unusual sight indeed when typically one had to drag a kicking and screaming Duo for him to come along with a too cheery Hilde---even Duo can't be *that* cheerful!
A whirlwind of greetings, talking to friends and teachers, group shots after group shots, and a couple of tackle glomps by blubbering friends later had Duo reeling. 'Im definitely going to go blind.' Duo rubbed and blinked his eyes to rid the spots of white he saw from the bright flashes of light from the hand held cameras everyone seemed to have.
"You all right?" Came a concerned voice.
"Yeah," Duo mumbled still rubbing his eyes.
"Here." A silk handkerchief was handed to the braided boy.
"Thanks."
Violet met cobalt.
"Hey..."Heero spoke softly, eyes locked on to Duo's own.
"Hi," Duo said just as soft. "You know, before..." shrugging vaguely, he smiled up at Heero. "I'm sorry about that."
Heero shook his head. "No, I deserved that. I..."
"Don't." Duo stopped him with a hand on his arm. "I can't...Friends?"
Heero felt like his heart dropped to the pit of his stomach. "Yeah.... Friends."
"I'm glad." Duo hugged a rigid Heero against him. "I couldn't leave things like this."
"Hn."
"I know."
Tbc...
Confused? You should be. Kidding! I can't seem to write for long periods of time or I lose interest. Starting fresh usually starts the juices flowing so things are usually not as long as I want them to be but it means a shorter wait for new parts^^; Fair trade? _
Next part: Blessed flashbacks to explain any confusion. He-he quite a lot, ne?
