Angel of Darkness

Disclaimers: I own nothing.

Author's Notes: My only things inspiring this are: boredom, When I Grow Up by Garbage, Pink's Don't Let Me Get Me, Papa Roach's Last Resort, and a scene that popped into my head, totally unbidden. So, yeah. *shrug* Tell me what ya think.



---------------

Duo yawned. He'd had a late night. This had to have been the latest he'd had in a while, though...

"Late night?" His roommate asked from her bedroom. Her brown hair hung loose around her backside, her blue eyes watching him silently. Duo had to smile to himself. Heero was cute, for a girl, but not quite his type. Actually, girls weren't really his type, and Heero knew it. She knew it quite well, actually. It wasn't the fact she'd actually tried to seduce him, because she hadn't. She just.... knew he didn't like girls.

"Yeah." Duo nodded, then yawned.

Heero laughed, her blue eyes sparkling. Duo loved the way her eyes sparkled. Too bad he didn't like girls. He could get to love Heero....

Heero bit her lip, looking off. "Hey, Duo?"

Duo paused in taking off his tie. "Yeah?"

"You know Trowa, right?" Heero turned slightly to look at him.

"Yeah. Tall guy, hangs with a blond kid that looks like a girl, right?" Duo pulled off his tie, and began to unbutton his shirt. Heero crossed the living room, the skin of her thighs showing slightly beneath her short boxers.

She batted his hands away from his shirt and began to unbutton it, revealing more and more of his creamy skin. "That's him." She said softly, leaning slightly forward to wrap her arms around his waist, pulling at his shirt tucked into his pants.

"Yeah?" Duo slid his shirt off, heading toward his bedroom. "What about him?"

"He asked me to...." Heero paused, midsentence as if afraid of saying.

Duo dropped his shirt to the floor in his room, waiting a moment for Heero to continue. She didn't. "Well, what did he ask?"

"He asked me to marry him." Heero whispered.

Duo slipped out of his room, only in his boxers. "Did you say yes?"

"Not yet. I asked him for some time to think." Heero replied, absently. Her eyes were looking off, as if the answers to her unspoken questions were on the white walls and white ceiling of their apartment. It was so unlike her.

Duo pursed his lips, looking down at her. "Why? You love him, don't you?"

Heero nodded slightly, then shook her head. "Duo, what would you do if you were in love with someone who probably didn't know you exist?"

The question caught Duo offguard. He blinked, thinking. What would he do? He chewed on his lower lip as he answered. "Well, it depends."

"What if that person was your roommate?" Heero's blue eyes looked up at him, haunting.

Duo almost gasped. Did Heero love him? No. She knew he didn't like girls. She also knew he didn't have a boyfriend and hadn't had one for a while. "What do you mean?"

"It's... it's nothing." Heero shook her head, turning to go to her room. "Well, g'night, Duo. Pleasant dreams."

"Pleasant dreams, Hee-chan." Duo waved to her, then watched her go into her room.

He fell on his bed, confused. Heero couldn't be in love with him..... could she? What if she was? She sounded like it....

He rolled onto his back, staring up at his darkened ceiling. Could it be that Heero was in love with him? Maybe. He wasn't sure. He thought she was happy with Trowa.... He was lucky, Trowa. He had a drop dead gorgeous girl for a love, even if Duo didn't like girls.

When Duo curled up with his pillow, he fell asleep.

--------------

A cool hand caressed his cheek, causing him to open his eyes. Cobalt blue was looking right at him, but he couldn't see the person with the blue eyes.

"Duo....." The person breathed, pulling away. It was a boy, slightly shorter than him, and looking so similar to Heero. The boy was dressed in an all white outfit, but what caught Duo's attention were a pair of overlarge white wings that spread carefully behind the boy.

The boy stretched an arm out to Duo. "Duo... how could you hurt me like that?" He asked in a subdued voice. "Like this?" The boy looked ready to cry. "I loved you.... Truly..... But you left me!"

Duo could only stare at the boy. "I... I don't know what you're talking about...."

The boy's arm fell to his side, head hanging to one side limply. His now glazed blue eyes stared blankly at Duo. His arm reached for Duo again. On the pale arm, Duo could see long, jagged slashes criss-crossing the arm. "I loved you.... But you pushed me away...."

Duo stared at the boy, wide eyed. "I don't even know who you are!"

The boy leaned to Duo, pale arms latching onto Duo's. Duo could see a scar running from the corner of the boy's eye to his lip. "I.... loved.... you....." The boy said softly, leaning forward to lock lips with him.

-----------

Duo sat up bolt right as he felt lips touch his. A pair of startled blue eyes and a shocked, "Oh!" met his action. Heero reached a hand to his cheek in a comforting manner, but Duo pulled away from her, wide eyed, suddenly seeing that pale arm slashed haphazardly.

The hand dropped. "What's the manner? I heard you screaming." Heero's voice was calm, so unlike the voice of the boy in his dream, yet almost similiar.

"I.... had a bad dream...." Duo whispered, getting off the bed. He didn't see himself do it, but his hands had reached out for Heero's face, cupping her face in both of his hands. He tilted her face and traced her cheek. No scar running from her eye to her lip. This was Heero, not some angelic boy who said that he had loved him. This was Heero, a girl with a heart of pure gold, not a dead, crazed boy with wings!

"It was only a bad dream...." Duo breathed, slowly leaning forward. His lips touched hers and she stiffened, ready to bolt at any moment. As if realizing what he was doing, he backed away. Heero's blue eyes followed his every move.

He could see she was dressed in a pale blue sundress, the color fitting perfectly with the sea blue highlights that ran through her brown hair and her blue eyes. She looked like she had a date. With Trowa, probably.

"Gotta date?" He asked, then almost regretted it when Heero looked down, not saying anything.

"Yeah..." She nodded softly. "With Trowa. He called while... while you were sleeping."

"Really?" Duo ran a hand through his hair. During the night, his braid had partly come out. Strands of it fell into his face. "Have fun, then."

"Always." She got to her feet and gave him a small smile as she left him.

He watched her go silently, then collapsed to his bed, falling asleep once more.

Narmacil: Failed horribly, I see.

Ko: *shakes her head* Only one-shots I've finished are either non yaoi or songfics.....

Akoya: Hm.
