The Birthday and then Some
Gundam Pilot 01, Heero Yuy, had just finished repairing his gundam when he heard a shrill voice from the other side of one of many, Winner mansions.
"Heero!!!???!!" The braided baka, Duo Maxwell called.
Mad because he wasn't able to admire his work, he turned to meet the violet eyed, deathscythe pilot, "What now???" he asked.
"Well,"Duo began, "You know that well out in front?"
"Ya, now what about it??" Heero snapped.
"Quatre kinda...fell in it"
Heero began to follow Duo out to the front door muttering something about braids, knives and blonde hair dye.
As he and Duo approached the door, Duo let Heero pass him. Heero flung open the door, startled by a huge "SURPRISE!" from a rather large crowd including Sally, Noin, Quatre, Trowa, Wufei, Zechs, Hilde, Relena and many others.
"W...wha...wha????" Was all Heero could say.
Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei started forward, one of them holding a small rectangular box.
"Happy Birthday Heero!" They said quietly.
'My Birthday?' Heero thought.::Flashback:: (and this is Heero thinking) I was young, maybe 6...or 7. It was my birthday. My parents were going to throw a party. I woke up alone, they had gone to make reservations at Peter Pipers Pizza. About two hours later, I got a call, my parents had died. My Aunt came over, "Heero." She had said over and over again. She said I cried too much, that I was getting soft. She sent me off to boot camp. At the age of 6! That's how I ended up with Doctor J. ::End Flashback::
Heero was jerked back to reality. Trowa took the package from Wufei and handed/tossed it at Heero, "Here ya go! Happy Birthday!" Trowa said. Heero sat down on the steps and put the box next to him. He began thinking 'How did they know it was my birthday? Duo...did I tell my secret love? No I couldn't have".
After everyone had left the party, and went home, Heero, Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre were gathered in the living room.
"How did you know it was my birthday?" Heero asked them.
The three gundam pilots all said, "Duo."
"Where is he?" Heero demanded.
"He went to his room," Wufei replied.
Heero turned and started walking up the stairs. HE was just about to knock on Duo's door when he heard stifled noises...like crying sounds. He pushed the door open. The room was pitch black.
"Duo??" Heero asked into the now quiet room. He let his eyes adjust to the darkness of the room. Duo stood up suddenly and turned around. BY the way he was standing, Heero could tell he was drunk and had been crying.
"He...Hee-chan?" Duo asked, as he fainted.
Heero pulled him onto the bed occupying the whole room, unaware of what Duo had called him. He grabbed a damp washcloth, and a thermometer. Duo had a fever.102 degrees. Heero placed the washcloth over Duo's forehead.
Duo stirred.
"Hee..Hee-chan? That you?" Duo murmured.
"Yeah it's me now go to----------"Heero froze, "What did you call me?"
"Oh shit!" Duo responded.
"What the Fuck is going on Duo??" Heero asked, "Duo, explain!"
And Duo did exactly that, "Heero," he started,"Ai shiteru. I know that you don't feel the same way about me, but that doesn't change how I feel." Duo finished.
Heero thought for a moment. Then got up and went to his own room. Thirty minutes later, he returned. He handed Duo a small piece of computer paper and kissed him slightly on the head. He left.
Duo opened the note from his loved one:
Duo,
I have loved ever since I the day I laid my eyes on yours. That long braid always made me crazy. There isn't anyone in the world I'd rather be with than you.
Love,
Heero Yuy
P.S.) How did you know it was my birthday?
Meanwhile, back in Heero's room, he began unwrapping the gift from the four other pilots. He gasped.it was a picture of them all together...he looked at Duo (in the picture) and noticed that he was looking at him. Heero put the picture on his night stand. The was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Heero said.
"J," Duo started, "He told me everything about you. He said then he tried to give you a cake at the age of 8 you kicked it against the wall, I loved you more, the more I knew."
"Duo..I...Ai Shiteru!" Heero hugged Duo. Then kissed him deeply. (Gomen ^_^;;;; I got a lil carried away!)
"Me too, Heero, me too!"
Second Chapter coming soon!
