How Duo Got His Braid
This is my first fanfic so please humor me.
The Normal Disclaimer applies; I don't own Gundam Wing (sadly) and anything written here never happened in the series. Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Gundam pilots were living in a small house at the edge of a small town. The house's back yard was a wood. In this wood is were the Gundams were hidden. Duo was sitting in the living room by a window, staring dreamily outside. He was tugging on his braid subconsciously. Quatre was practicing his violin in a corner. Trowa was typing on his laptop with Wufei looking over his shoulder. Heero was out with Relena and would be back any minute now.
"Hey Duo, when are you going to cut off that silly braid?" asked Wufei mockingly.
"Oh leave him alone Wufei. He hasn't done anything to you," Quatre would stand up for who ever he thought needed it. Wufei shrugged and went back to watching the computer screen.
Duo sighed and looked at his braid. Cut off my braid? Never. Duo ran his hand over a strange braid knot at the end of the braid. He didn't need a mirror to know that there was one just like it at the top of his braid. He remembered it as well as the face of the one who put them there.
He had been 13 when he had first walked into that school. The school called Of Arms. The boarding school was famous for turning children into great soldiers without bleeding their emotions away. Back then he had worn his waist length hair down. When the teachers tried to cut his hair he locked himself in his room and didn't come out until the teachers gave up. He almost starved to death. This (and a few other crazy stunts) impressed the girl that he was going to be trained to work as a team with. Her name was Jenny. She had brown red hair, turquoise eyes, and a smile that wouldn't quit. He did a lot of stupid things just to make her smile. He stayed at that school for 18 months. Those months were the happiest in his life. And over those months his friendship with Jenny soon turned to love. They never did more then kiss, but he had been happy with that.
Then he found out that he was going to be sent away to be trained as a Gundam pilot. He was very upset about the news. He did not want to leave Jenny, but by then he knew it was pointless to try and argue with the teachers. When he was released by the head master he ran all the way to Jenny's room and told her the news. She became very upset and began to cry. Duo hugged her tight in silence. After a while, when her crying stopped, he tried to lighten the mood with a joke.
"You know, they'll probably make cut my hair to keep it out of my face. And I'll have to lock myself in my room again."
Jenny laughed, He turquoise eyes lighting up like lamps.
"We can't let that happen. You would probably starve to death this time. I know! I will put it in a braid. That will keep your hair out of your face," so she braided it with two strange knots at each end. When Duo asked about them she said they were to make sure he never forgot her. The next day he was forced to leave the school with his newly braided hair. And know that he thought about it, those knots must work for he has never forgotten her.
A noise snapped him out of his reflection. He looked out of the window and saw that Heero was back. He watched Heero get out of the car and tried not to laugh as Heero glared at Relena who had fallowed him out. Heero opened his mouth to speak but before he could say anything Relena gave him a quick tight hug. Heero kept his face a mask of indifference and his hands at his side. Relena released Heero gave him a blinding smile and then got into the car and drove away. As Heero watched her go Duo thought he saw a hint of a smile cross Heero's face. If I ever saw a couple waiting to happen, it's those two. When Relena was out of sight Heero turned and entered the house. Duo left his comfy seat by the window and stretched. With Heero home that meant they would have to start working on whatever they were supposed to do today. As Duo turned away from the window a taxi pulled up to the house. He never saw the turquoise-eyed girl get out of the taxi and start walking toward the door.
