Chapter 5:The old woman

//I don't want you to want me
Cuz I'll hurt you in the end//
It had been already a few hours since Duo had left for work and Heero was bored. Very bored, so extremely bored out of his mind. He thought about going out to find out what this place was really like then decided against it. He didn't fit in well with other people.
It was around noon when Heero finally did decide to go out, clear his mind a bit. He also needed to find a job. There was absolutly no way he could continue living with Duo, the emotional stress would be too hard. He had to find his own apartment somewhere else, he needed a job to be able to pay for it.
He pulled on his black leather jacket, locked the door, then journeyed out into the world. The streets were filled with people darting everywhere, many happy grins were worn on their cheerful faces. Heero knew right away that this had to be the best place for Duo to live. He was among people so much like himself that it was actually scary. The people there kept shooting him friendly smiles as he passed. Heero didn't even bother trying to do the same, he just passed by as if he knew exactly where he was going.
Heero stopped at a store for lunch, even there the people seemed too cheerful. What was a person like Heero doing in a place like this? It wasn't right for a person such as himself to be in the midst of a place like this. Duo was the only gundam pilot to ever have a constant smile plastered to his cute little face. Now Heero was surrounded by people like that. And he thought Duo was bad....
Heero sighed, even out here away from the hous that served as a constant reminder of Duo, the other boy still semed to have inched his way into Heero'd thoughts. He couldn't keep his mind off him. Duo's smiling face , his beautiful eyes, his soft baritone voice echoing through his ears. That was it, Heero couldn't take it anymore! He had to find Duo and tell him the truth. Heero couldn't stand to be without him anymore. Why did things have to be so hard?
Heero walked out of the store, after having paid for his lunch. He stopped to ask a kind looking older woman for directions to the psychaitric hospital. The woman smiled knowingly.
"You're looking for Duo aren't you?" She asked, although she was ald and frail looking, her voice seemed extremely young ad high spirited. Heero frowned then nodded, how did she know that. "Oh, I know many things, he's waiting for you. He has been for years. Never did believe the news of your death. Never brought himself to that. Couldn't deal with the thought of you being dead. I'll take you there myself. I'm a close friend of his." the woman said. Heero felt his frown grow deeper. If she knew where Duo was, he'd follow.
The woman led him up long, winding streets for hours, never looking the least bit tired or showing the least bit of pain. He wondered if she was really as old as he perceived. She seemed old enough though. Very wrinkled and her teeth were very yellow. Finally, they got to a large building.
"Just go to the front desk and they'll call him down. Tell him the truth Heero, he will understand." the eerie voice of the old woman said. Wait-a-minute, how did she know his name. Now this was getting too strange. Although Heero thought it strange, he didn't feel as though the woman was an enemy of any sort, also she seemed very trustworthy.
Heero shrugged the feeling off and entered the gate. He walked up the long narrow path to the hospital and walked in the door. He went up to the receptionist.
"May I help you?" she asked in a sugar sweet voice. Heero thought for a second.
"Yes, can I see Duo Maxwell please?" He asked. The pretty woman nodded and dialed a number on the phone.
"Hey cutie, you got another visitor," she said sweetly, a look of happiness on her face. Heero knew that he wasn't the only one going for Duo. He never had been. Duo was a well desired person. It must have been his personality. Or maybe his looks. Both had equal bidings on the subject.
"Oh yeah, he's great looking," the secretary twirled the phone cord around her slender finger. "Dark hair, blue eyes..." she pulled the telephone fom her ear, "Is your name Heero Yuy?" she asked. He nodded. "Yeah you got it right! Ok, see ya soon cutie" with that, the woman set down the phone. She looked up to Heero with jealous eyes. "He'll be right down." She gestured for Heero to sit down on one of the chairs in the waiting room.
In but a few seconds, Duo was there at the foot of the stairs, shooting Heero one of the strangest glances he'd ever seen. Duo stepped down from the last stair then gently jogged his way over to Heero.
"Hey, what're you doing here?" he asked. A lopsided smile inching it's way to his lips.
"Duo, I have something to tell you..."
"Go ahead."
Now the woman at the desk was staring at the two of them, intent on hearing the conversation they were having.
"Is there anyway we could talk about this alone?" Heero asked. Duo glanced at his watch then nodded.
"I'm due for a lunch break."
Heero nodded. Duo ran over to the desk and signed out. "See ya in an hour babe!" Duo exclaimed. The woman smiled at his display of attention to her. "Ok Heero, I'm all set." again Heero nodded as he and Duo walked out of the room into the brisk air outside.
