Hello! Hope everyone had a nice Christmas! I did ^_^! Here's the next part for you, a late Christmas present!
Part Six
Duo entered the dining hall the next morning filled with dread, after all he had been the course of the break up between Heero and Wufei and although Heero might not be that pissed off about it, Duo had a feeling that Wufei could and would kill him.
Duo wondered straight over to the table where Quatre and Trowa sat.
"Morning Duo!" Quatre smiled at his new friend and Duo tried to smile back. It was far too early in the morning and Duo hadn't had his normal dosage of coffee and sugar yet. Duo sat down heavily and looked over to the line of students queuing for food.
Duo sighed, he didn't want to queue in that long line just for a cup of tea.
"Did you sleep well Duo?"
Duo looked back down at Quatre and suddenly hated the blond gundam pilot for being so damn cheerful in the morning.
"Not really! Excuse me please."
Duo stood, intending to get away from the two gundam pilots presences and get a mug of steaming black coffee.
"Here."
Duo jumped as he came face to face with Heero's dark Prussian eyes. He looked down at the hand that had just placed a mug of coffee on the table in front of him.
"Morning Heero." Duo gulped.
"Black, one sugar." Heero slide into the seat next to Duo and Duo suddenly wanted to run from the room but instead he forced his heart to stop racing and sat down next to the Japanese teen.
"Thank you." Duo said straining to place the normal grin on his face. Heero grunted and started to eat the bowl of rice in front of him.
Duo pulled a face at the sight of food and nested the warm mug between his sweaty hands.
"No Wufei this morning?" Quatre asked, concern in his voice. Heero looked at Duo, who turned away and Heero glared at Quatre.
"Wufei is ill. He said he didn't want breakfast this morning. He'll see us in class." Trowa informed the table.
"Hn." Heero nodded once before going back to eating his breakfast.
"Heero what happened last night?"
Dark Prussian narrowed and Heero pushed the chair away and walked out of the room. Quatre blinked in surprised and Duo also jumped up and headed after Heero.
"HEERO?!"
Heero turned to look at the braided boy that walked towards him. A week ago Duo had approached Heero on the balcony and he was doing the same thing again. Only this time Duo was likely to get shot or hit.
"What?"
"I want to apologise."
Heero raised an eyebrow at Duo.
"Why?"
"What happened between, you and Wufei was my fault."
"There was never a me and Wufei. He lied to you Duo. And you fell. Some pilot!"
"Hay you know shit about you!"
"I know you're not from oz!"
"What?"
"I've looked. There isn't a Duo Maxwell in the Oz data base."
Duo smirked.
"You do this properly don't you?" He laughed which was cut off as Heero turned and glared him into silence. "You're right, there is no Duo Maxwell in oz."
"Then why are you here?"
"I wanted to met the gundam pilots."
"I saw you in the cell."
Duo shrugged.
"You said yourself there is no Duo in oz. I came here to find you Heero but what I have found has scared me and I don't want to let go now."
Heero blinked confused at Duo who smiled shyly back. Duo turned and walked off leaving Heero deep in his own thoughts.
Heero entered the English room late. He apologised to the teacher who nodded for him to sit in the seat next to the window. He looked at Duo who was at the back, writing something on the paper.
Duo looked across and meet Heero's gaze. He lowered his eyes quickly to the note he was writing.
Solo had sent him an e-mail. He, Fey Maxwell, was being summoned by Zechs to go up to Antarctica with him. He was leave tomorrow morning.
Duo knew that his love for Solo was fading away with every day he spent with Heero and the love he knew he held for Heero was getting stronger and purer with each minute in the gundam pilot's presence.
Duo folded the note up and slipped it into his pocket. He then put up his hand and told the teacher he wasn't feeling very well. She eyed Duo then turned to Heero.
"Please take Mr Maxwell to see the Nurse Mr Yuy."
Heero nodded and stood up. He helped Duo out of the room and down towards the nurse.
Later that night when Heero was undressing for bed he came across a piece of paper folded up. He opened it up and read.
"I have to leave tomorrow. Don't ask me where I'm going, you know I can't tell and I know I'm being a coward by telling you this via a letter but I'm scared that if I tell you this to your face I will never want to leave your side. Heero over the past week I have found myself drowning into your eyes and I could do nothing to stop myself and I didn't really want to stop myself. But we cannot be together. Too much lays between us. But before I go I want you to know something, Heero Yuy I love you."
Duo sighed as he looked up at the school building one more time. He hadn't said good bye to any one and he was sad to leave. Duo had a feeling him and Heero would be meeting again soon and he knew that when they did, there would be no more running and hiding.
Well? In the next few chapters Duo will turn back to Fey. If you have noticed I'm trying to follow the path of the TV series. Heero and Zechs WILL be battling in Antarctica and everything like that but there will be added bits in between and stuff. Hope you like. Keep reviewing! Bye
