Duo returned late and looking less than chipper. Heero began to question him about the events of 'the dinner'. Heero didn't know if he was asking to find out if they were 'going out' or he was just being polite or what. He just... had a mission. (AN: the all-important mission *snicker*)
"So?" he queried.
"So what?" Duo said working on his Physics homework.
"How... was your... uh, date?"
"It was alright, nothing special," he said idly.
"Oh... hn."
"Why?"
"I just wondered..."
Duo gave him a curious look that looked as if it said 'I know you are jealous, just admit it.' He wasn't sure if he should tell the boy about his feelings or not, but he knew this Jacqueline situation was infuriating Heero.
When Heero didn't say anything more, he continued to work on his Physics.
Trowa smiled down at his little love, "... Heero said Duo has a girlfriend."
"Hontou?" Quatre blinked, "That's odd..."
"Naze?" Trowa asked, curious.
Quatre looked as if he'd begun speaking some terrible secret, "Anou... well.. it is... um..."
Trowa sat quietly, waiting for Quatre to finish the thought.
"Trowa, I'm really not supposed to tell, but--"
"Duo likes Heero?"
Quatre nodded, "Tro, how did you know?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Quatre nodded again. "And Heero likes him, too."
"Hmm..." the expression on Quatre's face took on a mischievous quality.
"Quat-love, you're not going to play matchmaker for them, they'll work it out on their own..."
"Tro..."
"Hmmm. . . .?"
"You've exceeded you're limit of words for the day..." with that Quatre kissed him deeply, pushing the taller pilot down on the bed. With his free hand he switched out the light.
The next morning, Jacqueline walked into the lobby of the school and found herself being glomped onto by a short and squealing ball of energy.
"Jack-koi!" the smaller girl giggled, "I missed you!"
"Unmei, please... calm yourself. I was only away for a night," Jackie said.
"But, it was such a long night!" Unmei looked at her with her cutest pouty face.
Jackie couldn't resist, she stroked the black hair back from those pleading aqua eyes and kissed the petite girl on the forehead. "Sa, whatever shall I do with you, beloved?"
Unmei's eyes acquired a glint of mischief, "You could tie me up and slather me in chocolate..." her face was teasing, but hopeful.
Jackie laughed, "Later, shug, later."
Unmei's eyes lit up and she hugged her lover close, kissing her deeply.
Heero's eyebrow twitched, the only outward sign of his annoyance. Determined not to let the annoyance detour him, he headed on to his class.
Only when he had seated himself did he let his mind go over what he'd seen.
That girl, Jacqueline, and a small girl who faintly resembled a dark haired Quatre. At first he'd thought none of it. That was until she kissed the other girl in a 'not-just-friends-so-fuck-me-here-and-now' fashion.
He was upset. That girl was playing with Duo's mind. *His* Duo!
He was so enveloped in his thoughts that he didn't hear the bundle of energy enter the room until he was standing right next to him.
"Oi! Heero?! Ohayo!!!"
Startled, Heero looked up to find the smiling face of Shinigami not more than an inch from his own.
"Nani ga Omae wa hoshii desu ka?"
"Nandemo nai." [1]
"Hn."
"Mou ii, Heero. Can't you say more than 'hn' and 'baka'?"
"Yes."
"Then do. Please."
"Urasai."
"Oh, great. Heero learned a new word." That got the boy a glare. He eeped and snapped his mouth shut.
"Don't you ever shut up?"
"Nope, that's me. Duo 'Chatterbox' Maxwell. Gotta earn my title, right?"
"Baka...."
"Back to that -again-?" Duo sighed. Would Heero ever learn?
Heero glared at him. "Tree. Lunch. Be there. We need to talk."
Duo mock saluted and barked, in his best Marine fashion. "Sir, yes, sir!"
Duo sat down as the bell rang. Class began and Duo was antsy for it's end, though his outward appearance was that of a good and studious student. He was very curious, Heero had to talk to him about something. Very curious, yes, but he wasn't going to be rude and pry it from his friend's mind. Then also, he wasn't sure if he wanted to know. Curiosity had him looking at the clock every minute. He just had to find out what Heero had to say that had cost him 8 words out of his limited daily arsenal (which excluded 'hn's and 'baka's as a general rule).
Wufei sat on the front lawn of the school, meditating.
'Hn, there's that girl... the one Heero said Duo was going with...' Wufei noted lazily to himself.
At that moment, a blur of black rushed past him. He blinked as he watched -in what seemed to be slow motion- as the dark haired... girl?... attached herself to the tall red-head. The tall girl smiled and bent down to kiss the petite one.
Wufei's eyes widened and one thought came to his mind, 'Injustice.'
"Sa, Heero, wha'd ya wanna talk to me about?"
"Duo, first things first... are you and that girl... are you..." Heero couldn't find the right word.
Duo laughed, "What are you asking? If we are going together or something?"
Heero nodded, feeling a blush try to creep up his cheeks. He valiantly supressed it.
Duo couldn't help but laugh at that. He could tell by all Heero's actions that he was jealous and enraged at the thought of Duo and Jackie together. "No, Heero, we aren't together. Actually, I never had a chance," he laughed at Heero's surprised look, "She has a life mate already. And from all I could tell, they are very much in love..."
Duo hadn't actually met the girl, Unmei, but when he and Jackie had worked on his innate psychic abilities he'd seen the girl was always foremost in Jackie's subconscious thoughts.
This revelation took Heero aback. He almost smiled... almost, but not quite.
"Is that all you wanted to talk to me about?" Duo asked him.
"No," the answer was automatic and Heero instantly regretted it.
Duo looked expectantly at him, "So...?"
"...It's not important. Nevermind."
Heero walked back to the building, leaving Duo alone at the tree.
Duo was getting irritated. He didn't want to have to be the one to express his feelings first, but damn, if Heero didn't soon, Duo was gonna... He hated to be the first to tell. It always meant that your feelings could get thrown back in your face, even if the person felt the same way. And that was a big possibility with Heero Yuy being your interest.
Sighing, Duo trudged back into the school. 'I'll show you, Heero Yuy. I'll show you how to feel and express... or die trying.'
End of Part Two
Note:
[1] Pretty much "What do you want?" & "Nothing."
(roughly) Probably incorrect, but that is as close as
I can get. If someone would like to correct me, please
do. I will change it.
