AN: really, really short chapters, BUT you have to excuse me because I have finals and I want to do well in them!
Hilde emerged out of her room in gray sweat pants and a tee-shirt. Her hair was down from being half way up all day. She hadn't had it in its usual French braid. Her glasses were gone, it was late and she was tired. She walked to the living room and wondered if Duo had come out of the bathroom yet. She went to the kitchen and poured out some juice to drink.
Inside the bathroom, Duo was psyching himself up for what was to come. 'Okay, you gotta make her feel comfortable. Comfortable enough to let you... yeah. Okay, first though, YOU gotta feel comfortable and confident and all that crap...'
"Oookay, Hilde's gotta be wondering what you've been doing in the bathroom for ten minutes," he muttered to himself. He took a deep breath and walked into Relena's room. 'Yuck!' he thought. 'She's a slob.'
He walked into the living room to see Hilde sitting on the couch with her elbows on her knees watching TV and drinking something. "Hey," he said kissing her cheek and sitting next to her. "What're you watching?'
"Oh nothing. I was just waiting for you to come out of the bathroom. What were you doing in there?" she asked looking at his face.
As much as he had been expecting the question he still couldn't hide the blush that crept to his cheeks. "I... uh... was-- the pheasant didn't sit with my stomach! I threw up," he said making a face. Not his best excuse but he was-- nervous? 'NO! I'm not nervous! I've done this tons of times... it must be her. Yeah, it's her! She's doing something...'
"Are you okay?" she asked in a concerned voice.
For the first time he noticed that she was wearing her hair down and her glasses were gone. He reached out and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear. "I'm fine." Duo, for the first time, noticed how intensely blue her eyes were. A pretty cornflower blue. How thick and long her eye lashes were, how her black eyebrows arched up naturally.
He leaned away from her a little so he could study her from another angle. Her long hair was black with bluish high lights if she turned her head just right. It wasn't curly, but it wasn't too straight either. It curled at the end. For the first time, Duo noticed so many things that he'd missed before. Her soft, milky, skin.
"Duo?" she said for the third time. He wasn't paying attention. "Duo, do you need to use the bathroom again?"
He felt hot. He was staring at her, and completely aware that she was calling his name. But he didn't answer, and he didn't know why! He didn't know how or why, but he started to doubt his plan would work. At the same time this thought entered his mind, he heard his father's voice telling him he would hand the company over to Hilde... HIS company. He closed his eyes and absently stroked her long hair.
She was still wondering of there was something wrong with him. He was sitting with her with his eyes closed and not saying a word. He had been staring at her for the last five minutes and it was a little unnerving.
He leaned and kissed her gently on the lips; shutting her up. He raised his hand and placed it at the back of her neck, bringing her closer. She was a little surprised but kissed him back wondering why he was acting so strange. She had seen Duo be a little weird before, but this was... just weird.
Duo deepened their kiss, this time encircling her waist with this other arm. Hilde, reluctantly, put her hands on his shoulders to finally bring her arms around his neck. Their kiss was slow and soft, yet passionate. He hugged her closer to him, wanting to have her close for a reason he didn't want to know. The only coherent thought was that she needed to be closer to him. After a long time, his mouth left hers to trail tiny kisses along her jaw and chin. He placed a soft kiss on her neck, making her shiver, before raising his head to look at her.
Her blue eyes opened and she smiled at him-- with nothing but her braces marring her features. For a crazy minute, the only word he could think of to describe her was pretty. In her own way, of course. With a determined shake of his head he took her hand. She stood up and with nothing but a mutual understanding, he lead her to the bedroom
(no lemon. i don't write lemons! you all know what they did anyway!)
*~*~*~*
Duo lay in the bed. The room wasn't completely dark. The street lamps outside cast an eerie brownish orange glow around the room. He could hear Hilde's soft, even breathing from the other side of the bed. He'd been shocked to discover that she wasn't a virgin. She'd obviously slept with that Trowa person. He felt the strange urge to retch. His head ached. Over all, he felt like he was hung over. He got out of the bed slowly, carefully so as not to wake Hilde. He looked around for his clothes and found everything but his boxers. "Shit!" he muttered. He needed to find his boxers. He didn't want to go commando. They were under the bed, near one of the legs right under Hilde's white panties with the little ties at the sides instead of elastic. He dressed hurriedly and without a backward glance fled from her house.
He took the stairs instead of the elevator. He walked across the underground parking lot towards his car. He started the engine and at once the radio turned on to the station Hilde had left it on.
Be careful with my heart
You could break it
Don't take my love for granted
Things could change...
As soon as he heard the lyrics he angrily turned the radio off and drove out of the parking
lot.
tbc...
AN: I'm running through a little trouble w/ how Hilde should find out about Duo's plan. R&R. Email me with any suggestions. I have a vague idea running through my head, but... I don't know. (and that boys and girls is what happens with you write every chapter from scratch with no planning. i write what comes to mind... that's why i cut this chapter short.)
