AN: Um... I have nothing to say except that I've had no motivation to write the next few chapters to this story, and I'm currently revising A Place In the Darkness. But don't worry, I'll still dedicate time to this story. It'll just take a couple of days to get the next chapter.

Hilde's Fashion
by Oyuki
Duo walked to where he knew Hilde would be: waiting for Relena, who got off an hour after she did.
"Hilde," he called when he saw her sitting in a chair reading a book.
She looked up and offered a smile, which was marred by the braces(1), and waved at him.
Duo walked to where she was and sat in the seat beside her. "What are you doing here? You're off."
"I'm waiting for Relena. We take turns driving our cars. It's her turn this week."
"You don't have to wait here, Hilde. I'll give you a ride home," he offered again with that ever-present smile that seemed to light up his whole face.
"You don't have to--"
Duo took her hand and whispered, "I want to."
Five minutes later they were on their way to her house. After a ten minute drive spent talking about irrelevant things Duo pulled up to her apartment complex.
"Thank you for the ride, Duo." Hilde was about to open the passenger door when Duo stopped her.
"Wait. Let's sit in here a moment and talk. Relena is not due for another hour anyway."
"Well, okay. What do you want to talk about?" asked Hilde.
"About you, about me, about us," Duo said smoothly. He was great at sweet talking the girls. Why should Hilde be any different?
"Us? Duo, there's no us, we're just friends..."
"Maybe we should give us a chance, don't you think? I mean, it's not like we don't know each other. We've been working together for a year, and I like you, Hilde. I think you're a sweet girl, and I think you like me too."
Hilde's mind flashed to Trowa Barton. He'd been a sweet man, until she'd found out why he was dating her. He just wanted to boost his ego, to prove to himself that every woman wanted him. It didn't matter if they were fat or thin, ugly or pretty, they all wanted him. Hilde had been no different.
"And I know you won't be with me for anything my family has. Believe me, I want to give us a chance," said Duo. He was playing this for all it was worth. This is what Duo did that got him girls. He liked the game; he liked to have control over them. Duo had never been hurt, anybody could tell. If he had he wouldn't play with girls like that. He wouldn't spew out lies if he knew what it did to someone when they found out he'd been lying.
"I had a boyfriend Duo..." said Hilde out of nowhere.
Duo was snapped out of his 'play'. Hilde's comment had come out of nowhere, it really interested him to hear this.
"Before I started working for your father and you. I worked with him and since I started working he was very sweet to me. He used to buy me lunch and-- and we were friends. Then one day he said he loved me, and I believed him. Well, to make a long story short it turned out he'd been using me to boost his ego. He only used me to prove that he could get any girl he wanted, and it didn't matter what they looked like."
The next words from Duo were ones anybody would have expected of a great actor. "I'm not like him, Hilde. I would never hurt you like that because above all, you're a great person."
Hilde smiled. Duo was so sweet. When he'd said those words he had been looking directly into her eyes. Her mind screamed at her to not believe, to call his bluff and yell out that he was lying, just like Trowa had lied. But her heart told her otherwise. This time Hilde had fallen in love. With Trowa, her heart didn't flutter as much as it did with Duo. Her stomach didn't do flip-flops from the minute he walked in to the minute he left. So Hilde let her heart win.
She desperately wanted to have someone to hold her. She'd been alone for a long time, and she didn't want to be alone anymore. She wanted to believe that there were men out there that weren't like Trowa.
Duo looked at Hilde. She looked like she was deep in thought. She just sat there looking at him. So Duo put his plan to work. He reached out his hand and touched her cheek, which immediately brought her back to reality. The hand went to the back of her head, and, as his leaned closer, pulled her closer to him. They met half way. Duo touched his lips lightly to hers, finding them surprisingly warm and soft. With a shudder on his part he blocked out his mind and, much to his gagging reflexes, pushed himself to deepen the kiss.
When they finally parted he saw Hilde's eyes were closed. He quickly wiped his mouth, and when she did open her eyes he smiled at her.
"I wasn't expecting that," said Hilde smiling slightly.
"I've wanted to do that for a long time," lied Duo.
tbc...
(1) I have nothing against braces. I have them myself, and I don't think they look TOO bad. I just put this in for more 'feeling'.
AN: The plot is moving a little too slowly for me, so I decided to move it along just a tad bit. Please read and review!
