Chapter Two
Heero woke up early the next morning, as the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window. He checked his clock. 7:25. He then shifted his gaze to the other person in the room, lying down on another bed against the wall. He was slumbering peacefully as Heero silently stood and began getting dressed. He ran over the events that happened last night at the party.
After Kamen had left, he had tried to get back to his room; but Quatre managed to get his attention, having Heero help him with some minor things. By the time Heero was able to get away, it was nearly one in the morning. He got back to his room to find Duo already in bed, slumbering peacefully. Heero didn't have the heart to wake his friend.
So now, this morning, Heero set out early. He had many things on his mind, and the only was to get them off was to go for a walk. And if he went for a walk, he might as well take care of some other business...
Duo stretched and yawned, glancing at the clock. 9:00. It was too early. He tried to get back to sleep, but to no avail. So he decided that he might as well get up. As he stood, he saw that Heero's bed was empty. Oh well, he thought, he's probably downstairs...
He got dressed quickly in his normal priest-like clothes, then headed downstairs. He and Heero, as well as with Wufei and Trowa, had been invited to stay at Quatre's mansion on the colony for the party. He wandered around the large house, but found no one except Quatre in the kitchen, who looked up and smiled when he walked in.
"Good morning Duo."
"Hiya Quatre...where is everyone?"
"Heero left earlier today, Trowa had to take care of some things, and Wufei was called back to Preventer on Earth. How'd you sleep, Duo? Did you enjoy the party?"
Duo was about to speak when he froze. How did Quatre know he was at the party last night?
As if he could read minds, Quatre gave a reassuring smile. "I saw you hanging around Heero last night. Not many people would approach him like that."
The color drained from Duo's face. If he didn't fool Quatre, then he probably didn't fool Heero. "How...how did you know...?"
Quatre's comforting smile remained on his face. "When you have as many sisters as I do, you can tell naturally. But don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I suspect you have a voice synthesizer in your collar, correct?"
Duo sighed and removed his white collar from around his neck, setting it before Quatre as he sat down heavily into a chair. Quatre took it, gently running a finger over the synthesizer inside. "Hm...well, you had us all fooled for a while...but like I said, I won't tell your secret."
Duo spoke, but his voice was higher, more...feminine. "Thanks a lot Quatre...I appreciate it...but how did you really know?"
"A couple reasons, actually. First, you always where some kind of collar around your neck, to hide your voice synthesizer. You never change in front of us, never allow us to get close enough to treat wounds beneath your clothes. You also sleep in long pajamas, hiding as much of your body as possible. You never talked to us after you changed, because you didn't have the synthesizer on. And, of course, you always want a room with Heero. Whenever you need someone's help, you ask for Heero. And whenever Heero's not around, you get worried. My guess is you've fallen in love with him...right?"
Duo nodded. "Yeah...for a while, now. But how do I know if he's interested in me?"
Quatre shrugged. "Why don't you tell him the truth?"
This time, Duo shook her head and looked at the table. "I'm afraid he might hate me..."
She looked up when he felt Quatre's hand on her own. "Between you and me, Heero worries about you. I'm sure he feels for you what you feel for him."
Duo smiled, feeling a little better. This talk with Quatre allowed her to say some of the things she couldn't usually say, because fear and disgrace held her back. She muttered thanks to Quatre then left, readjusting her collar on her neck. She headed out to the garden to just sit in the sun, just to kill some time. Duo found a nice patch of the warm glow of the shining star then sat down, finally lying back and stretching out, a smile etching across her face as she basked in it, taking it all in. Thanks to Quatre, she was in a very good mood.
