Chapter ten- Stands Come Apart At The Seams
Duo groaned pitifully as something blared in his ear. He attacked it with a flying hand and knocked to the floor.
Duo sighed and rolled away from the blaring sound and covered his head with the thick pillow his head should have been lying on.
"Duo you can't sleep all day."
"Umhmm."
Duo then resumed snoring as soon as the sound shut off.
Quatre sighed and shook his head. 'Heero had said Duo had come back wasted. But why would he drink himself to this.'
"Duo you have an exam wake up."
"Iie!"
"What!"
Quatre wasn't sure if her heard correctly, Duo didn't speak Japanese but what he had said was clearly the word no but in Japanese.
Quatre walked forward and snatched up the pillow, "Wake up. You have an exam and you wont fail it. Heero is already upset."
Duo's eyes snapped open, "Who gives a fuck what he thinks? Huh? He can be disappointed all he wants, I don't care anymore. I'm not perfect so what I am who I am dammit."
Quatre sighed, "Fine, I'll tell Heero your answer." "Go ahead, run behind him like always, hide away from the pain and truth."
Quatre frowned, "I have never ran away."
Duo shot up in bed and glared at Quatre, "Yes you have Winner. You went ape shit and killed innocent people, innocence because you father was killed. A damn father! I lost both my parents to those psychos and then the people who cared for me were also killed because I lived there. you father died in dignity while mine died as a laughing stock of the colony. You've been running, away but you still stay close to it to say that you aren't!"
Quatre stared at Duo, as if he had just opened up an old wound."
Duo sighed and rubbed his forehead, "I'm sorry Quatre. I'm just not ready for all of this. Heero is the brave one, the smart one; I'm just a clown. Why did I have to be stuck with this burden?"
Quatre replied, "You're right Duo. I have been running. But maybe the reason why you where placed with this was because Heero has been stuck with it all his life."
Duo, watched as one of his friends leave the room. Quatre was the only one who naturally understood him. "I'm sorry Quatre."
"Don't you think it's to late for that?"
Duo looked up at the door and saw Heero and he let out a sigh. "Yea you're right."
Duo climbed off the bed and he looked around, "Thanks."
"Hn."
Duo grinned, "Thanks for taking me back after I got drunk. Didn't think I drank that much."
"We missed class."
Duo's eyes widen, "Oh Kuso!"
Heero's eyes narrowed and Duo slapped a hand over his mouth in horror. He then removed it and shouted, "Oh shit!" He glanced at Heero and noticed he had caught the perfect soldiers attention. It wasn't good, when an American pilot starts cursing in Japanese.
Duo turned and walked to his suitcases. He opened them up and pretended to occupy himself on looking for clothes.
Heero's eyes narrowed on Duo's form. "How do you know Japanese?"
Duo looked up at Heero, and horror covered his face like a mask. Strands began to unravel his secret was coming loose. Too loose to fast.
Duo shrugged his shoulders, trying to throw it all off. "Hey get out so I can get dressed."
Heero glared at him, before he left the room silently.
Duo sighed in relief. Heero wouldn't wait around forever. Duo knew that Heero wanted to know what his secret was.
Duo sighed again and grabbed a pair of black jeans, a shirt, and a jacket that had been stuffed inside.
He shut the lid and dropped the clothes on top. He then pulled off his school uniform. He tossed the wrinkled clothes aside.
Duo then grabbed the pair of black jeans and tugged them on. He stood their buttoning them when suddenly the door opened wide.
Duo spun around on instincts and his jaw when slack. His eyes changed drastically to horror, and all the color drained from his face.
The person in the doorway stated in shock, "Oh my god."
Duo groaned pitifully as something blared in his ear. He attacked it with a flying hand and knocked to the floor.
Duo sighed and rolled away from the blaring sound and covered his head with the thick pillow his head should have been lying on.
