"Anybody seen Duo?"
"No Quatre, you little onna!"
"Shut up Wufei!"
"No you shut up Trowa! Little circus
freak!" This arguing had been going on for about an
hour. It finally stopped when Quatre began crying
screaming
"Why can't we just get along??!!" Trowa
brought him to his room, grabbing a jar of jam on the
way in.
Duo and Heero got home at about 2 in the morning.
"Hey I'm surprised that Quatre isn't up waiting for us."
Duo said with a laugh. "Duo, Heero! Where have you
been? I've been so worried!" He said in a Quatre voice
which actually cracked a smile on Heero's face. Heero
pulled a small package off the counter.
"I umm have a late birthday present for you." Duo looked
at the package. Heero defiantly didn't wrap it, it was to
nice.
"Umm can I open it?" Heero shook his head. "Ok" Duo
unwrapped the colored paper. It was a photo album. Duo put on a
puzzled look and was just about to ask why Heero gave
him that, when he opened it and realized it was full of
pictures. Pictures of strangers that Duo didn't know.
He stood staring at the two happy teenagers. Then his
eyes brightened. "That's my mom!" Heero again nodded.
Duo flung his arms around Heero and he was crying.
"Thank you Heero. I don't know how you did it. But
thank you." Heero stood real still and Duo let go to
flip through the book. It was almost full. He came to
a pic where his parents were holding a baby. "Heh
that's me. I was cute." But Heero had left the room.
Duo lay awake all night, every now and then flipping
through the book. He had already picked out a picture
he was going to frame. "Good night mommy and daddy."
He said quietly and fell asleep.
Duo woke up the late as usual the next morning. He
could smell bacon and well something else. So of
course, being the bottomless pit he is walked
downstairs. Quatre was at the stove.
"Yum Bacon!!"
"Down Duo! Down boy!!"
"Oh come on just a little piece? I am wounded!" Quatre
gave him a look but Duo made off with a piece.
"We have to wait for the others. Well Heero should
already be up. I mean he is always up. I'm worried."
Duo rolled his eyes. "Well Wufei was pretty angry last
night. He got very drunk. I hope he is ok."
"Quatre people get drunk all the time. Its fun, you should
try it." Quatre looked almost pale. Just then Trowa
sauntered in with nothing but a towel on.
"Umm Quatre have you seen my clothes?"
This caused Duo to raise an eyebrow.
"Oh yes they were lying around so i threw them in the
washer. They should be done in about two hours!" Trowa looked
pretty pissed but walked into the living room to watch
TV.
"Well if no one is coming can we eat?" Quatre had
no choice since he was already being attacked.
"Here!"
Duo stared at the bowl and plate in front of him. The
plate had bacon. The bowl had some weird gray stuff.
Duo poked it with a spoon.
"Umm Quatre uhh what is that stuff. I'm afraid its going
to bite me." Quatre gave an annoyed look.
"Its oatmeal. Didn't your parents ever make you.." He
stopped short, because at the mention of parents
Duo had looked down at the table. "I'm sorry Duo. I forget
I'm the only one who had a parent growing up."
"Its okay Quatre, it doesn't bother me anymore. I kind of had
parents. Father Maxwell and the sister." he sighed. Quatre
feeling guilty slinked out of the room. Duo on the
other hand pushed the oatmeal stuff away and devoured
the bacon.
After breakfast he went into the living room where the
others were sitting.
"I'm going to the store today!"
Duo announced.
"And?" Wufei asked.
"Well who wants to come?" All at once the others began to
mumble excuses except for Quatre, who was still feeling guilty for
this morning. A little while later they set out. "I
have to get a frame." Duo told Quatre. He nodded and
went to the book aisle. Duo picked the best frame he
could find. It had gold on it. "Yes, this will look
nice." He found Quatre and cashed out.
Later on he put the picture in the frame and hung it.
As he sat on the bed, he glanced at different pictures.
He was most fond of the ones containing himself as a
baby. The last one taken was of his mom and himself
when he was 5. Then they died. He let this sink in for
a moment as sadness hit him.
"GOD DAMN IT! I HATE IT! WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?"
Duo screamed and hit the wall
hard with his fist, causing a small dent. Heero, being
in the room next door heard him and came in.
"What's wrong?"
"The world." Duo said standing up and pushing
past him. He was coming down the stairs but was
stopped by Quatre.
"What was that? I heard a bang!"
"I'm leaving! I'm going to find my parents!" He tried
to push Quatre out of the way but Quatre grabbed him.
"DUO THEY DIED! YOU KNOW THAT!" Duo was now wriggling
free and he bit Quatre. Heero was at the top of the
stairs.
"Let him go Quatre."
"But!" Heero gave a glare
and Quatre let go. Duo grabbed his coat and ran out
the door, the only noise to be heard was his
motorcycle racing away.
"No Quatre, you little onna!"
"Shut up Wufei!"
"No you shut up Trowa! Little circus
freak!" This arguing had been going on for about an
hour. It finally stopped when Quatre began crying
screaming
