'Why is he looking at me that way? Why did he even turn in the first place?' Duo could feel those prussian blue eyes probe into him as if they were searching for something. 'What is he looking for? What am I looking for? A sign of something greater than resent or hate? Why does he hate the world so much? How did I fall in love with him? Duo's questions were swimming in his head, if only he had answers to some of them. Suddenly he was brought back to reality by a cold voice that popped his balloon of thought.
"What?" it asked bitterly.
"Na Na Nothing," Duo choked out. He knew his previous question would remain unanswered. Only now he had to survive Heero's brutal stare.
"Fine," it returned. Then Heero turned and continued down the hall disappearing around a corner. Duo couldn't move, he couldn't even think to breathe. Duo forced himself to move forward. He walked slowly through the white winding hallways to the large doors that opened into the large dinning hall. He gently pushed one of the doors open. Poking his head in he saw Trowa and Quatre sitting together while Heero sat alone on the other side of the table. Trowa spoke words, while Quatre spoke full sentences. But what surprised Duo was that Heero was speaking in short sentences.
"Duo, come in. Don't hide behind the door," Quatre called to Duo startling him.
"Uh okay," Duo said looking at all the eyes staring at him, even Heero's pools of blue were looking at him. Duo opened the door a little wider and squeezed his small frame through the space. Pushing gently the door clicked shut behind him.
"Have a seat," Quatre offered him. Being they were all huddled on one end there was only one place for Duo to sit, next to Heero. Duo took a big gulp and slowly walked over to the table and empty seat. Pulling it out the chair rubbed against the hard wood floor. He sat down his muscle's tense. Suddenly a burst of laughter escaped his lips. Moments later his hand shot up to his mouth. The three other boys just stared at him.
"I didn't mean to burst out laughing but you all were so quiet like I was royalty or something," Duo said after he caught his breath.
"Well you are important to us," Quatre smiled. "Plus you looked a little shy. Which is very unusual for you. Well that's at least why I was quiet. I don't know about these other two knuckle heads."
"I had nothing to say," Trowa spoke poking Quatre's arm. Heero said nothing, explaining his silence with silence. The rest of breakfast was uneventful as Quatre and Duo spoke, while Trowa and Heero listened. It was had for Duo to remain still as he sat next to Heero. Suddenly Heero spoke, "Quite moving around so much!"
It was more of a command then anything else and it took Duo by surprise causing him to freeze in his chair. Looking over Duo's eyes met Heero's. 'He is staring at me again. Is it to make sure I stop or is he looking at me cause he wants to see me?' Duo couldn't figure it out, even when he tried to read Heero's eyes. He got nothing that would answer his questions.
"What are you staring at?" Duo asked, he just had to.
"Nothing," Heero said, only he still stared at Duo.
"Are you sure?" Duo asked still looking into Heero's eyes. They pulled him in. 'Is he truing to suck my soul out?' Duo wondered. Heero didn't respond to the new question he just turned his head back to look at his food.
"Okay, just ignore me then," Duo said mocking a punch to Heero's arm. Heero moved his arm and body out of the way. Only Duo was already moving in a forward motion and he couldn't stop. He fell into Heero's lap. Quatre started to giggle as Trowa just looked on. Duo inhaled deeply pulling in Heero's scent. He felt his head spinning and his face flush red. Duo knew he had to get up but he didn't want to. He used the table to pull himself up. He could still feel his face burning red.
"Duo why are you blushing?" Quarte asked with another giggle.
"No reason," he tried to play it off.
"Oh, it's not cause of Heero is it?" Quatre asked trying to act all innocent.
"Shut the hell up," Duo said getting up embarrassment consuming him.
"Touchy aren't we?" Trowa threw in. Duo stormed from the room. 'Damn it! I almost blew it in there!' Duo scolded himself. Suddenly he thought he heard the door behind him open. Turning around, the door remained shut. Turning back to face the hallway, Duo was very frustrated. Again he thought he head a door creak open. It was then when he looked back, that he saw a pair of eyes looking at him through a crack. They were a cobalt hue.
