PART 3A: Icecream is Messy
Usagi starting walking home, thinking about what she'd do to Wufei if he abused the baby or pressed the panic button on it. "Hey! Hey!! HEY! USAGI! O matsu watashi! ( Wait for me!)" Usagi turned around to see Duo running after her, waving at her. She stopped and waited for him to catch up. He slowed down once he was five feet away, and panted, "You.... walk... way... to... fast." He leaned on her shoulder, and Usagi laughed heartily at him. "Daiijoubo ka? You do know that I would have waited for you, or at least gone slower, if you had said that you were going to walk with me." "I know. Listen, thanks for saving me from Wu-man back there." "No problem. He's just a violent jerk with an over-sized ego." " Well, that's one way of puting it. Hey, that's the icecream stand! c'mon, let's go get some!" "What? It's past November! You don't go off eating icecream when it's December!" But he tugged her across the street anyways, and then inside the building.
"Kami, it's almost as cold in here as it was outside," Usagi grumbled and shivered. "What flavor?" "Huh?" "I said, what flavor do you want?" Duo was looking at her, and he grinned in reassurance. Usagi looked up at the list, and felt a slow blush cover her cheeks. "I dunno. I've never had icecream before... at least, I don't remeber it." "Hmmm... well, you're a sweet girl, so strawberry!" He turned around and whispered something to the man behind the counter. He nodded and shouted back, "One strawberry hot fudge sunday and one triple scoop of chocholate fudge, vanilla, and cookie dough in a waffle cone," to his assistant. Duo handed over the money, and then walked back and sat down across from a blushing Usagi. "Why are you blushing?" She avoided the question with another one. " Did you mean what you said? About me being sweet?" "I wouldn't have said it if I didn't." Usagi blushed deeper, and murmered something. He was about to ask what, when the man said, "Yo! Your icecream's ready!" "One moment." He got up, and got the stuff, and came back.
Usagi took her's and said, "Arigatou, Duo-kun." "Oi, you're welcome. Now dig in!" She watched with wide eyes as he did just that. He looked up to see her staring at him. "What," he asked with a full mouth. She gigled, and shook her head, and started to eat her own food. Usagi couldn't stop grinning; this guy was a riot! Of course, she normally ate the same way. She ate the stuff happily, it was actually pretty good, even if it was like being in antartica in here.
Duo watched her, purely curious as to everything about this little angel. Angel? Where'd that come from? I'm not falling for her, am I? *Of course you are* Aggh! Who's that?! *Just the little voice in your head.* Hey, I'm not crazy! *I'm a part of you, ya know, that little annoying part of you that always knows the truth and tells it to you even if you don't want to hear it.* You mean... *Yes, you, Duo Maxwell, like Usagi Tsukino. You have since you first saw her, you dope! Geez, you are sooooo slow.* Now just wait a minute here- "Duo? Is something wrong?" He refocused on her, and saw her peering at him, her child-like eyes concerned. He gave her his trademark grin, and said, " You bet! I was just thinking about how much alike you and Quatre are. I mean, you're just like a female version of the guy! Blonde hair, blue eyes, blushes alot, polite..." He grinned even wider (if that's even possible ^-^) when he saw that she was blushing a cherry red, and fidling with her napkin. "Not to mention beautiful." Usagi gasped, and then blushed a nice shade of burgandy and shredded her napkin. He laughed, and then noticed that she had needed that napkin. She had a bit of strawberry icecream on her nose, and she looked so kawaii like that, that he couldn't help but blush slightly himself.
Usagi finally stopped blushing for the most part, but the way he was looking at her... it wasn't embarassing, but it made her feel all funny inside, like she was melting like butter in the microwave. He leaned over and said, you've got something on your nose." He cleaned it up, and then their eyes met and his arm muscles that were supporting him froze. He just stopped and stayed there for countless seconds, and Usagi's blush slowly returned. He started to lean in closer, and closer until his lips nearly met hers. (ohhh.. looks like a romantic moment coming up. ^_^) when all of the sudden, his support slipped and failed him, and he slid down and his face landed in the remains of the strawberry hot fudge sunday. (ok... maybe not!)
Usagi shreiked, and jumped up. He lifted his head up, and Usagi began to laugh. He looked so funny! His face was covered in pink icecream, which wasn't his color, and sticky fudge that wasn't so hot anymore. She laughed hard, and Duo said sarcastically, "Ha ha. Very funny." Usagi giggled, and before she could stop herself, she kissed his cheek. "It make's you even sweeter this way, Duo-kun." He stared at her for a moment, and then blinked several times. When the words finally registered, he blushed like crazy and was thankful that she couldn't see it. Whoo hoo! Does this mean she likes me? *How should I know? I'm not psychic, and neither are you.* We're the same person, you dope! *... So?* You're worthless. why are you here when you can't even tell me something useful?
Usagi pulled Duo into the ladies restroom just like the man had told her to, and gently scrubbed off the ice cream. She then steered the boy out, because he was still spaced out. Why did I do that?I hardly know him, and I'm no flirt. She then bid him goodbye when she got outside, and walked home alone despite his please to walk her home. "I'm not a little girl, I can handle myself. Not only that, but we weren't on a date... unless there's something you wanna tell me." She then walked home, and entered her house.
