CHAPTER 2 Meeting everyone.



"KKKRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!" the clock alarmed annoyingly. "Itai.my head hurts." Duo reached for the clock, the one responsible for waking him up from his slumber. "Oh. It's still 9:20, it's still early." Yawning his head down on his pillow. "Yikes! 9:20! Heero's coming by 9:30. I only got 10 minutes left." Jumping out of the bed, throwing his blanket on the floor and hurdled to the bathroom. "DING-DONG." "UhOh. Make that a minute to prepare." He hurriedly open his closet and yanked out any outfit he caught. "DING-DONG." the doorbell rang again. "Chotto matte, kudasai." Duo shouted trying to zip his pants up. He looks at the mirror "This thing would do." Seeing at his reflection on his usual get-up. But he didn't notice the looks of his chestnut hair. He run to the door and opened it seeing Heero standing. "Ohayou, Du.o.-san" Heero grunted surprisingly. "What happened to you?" Heero gaped once again, looking at Duo from head to toe. "A.Anou, I just woke up." Duo shrunked. "Gomen. I came early than scheduled." Apologizing to Duo for arriving early and seeing the present state of Duo today. "No. It's just fine. I should be the one apologizing to you." Opening the door wider and stretching out an arm pointing to the living room "Please come in. I'll be finished in a minute. Could you please wait here?" "Okay." Heero stepped in, his eyes were wandering around the room. "I'll be back." Duo left Heero in the living room, roaming and examining the place. Duo ran back up again to the bathroom and brushed his teeth and braided his long hair. Heero was looking around, looking at the furnace. But among the furniture that he had saw, something caught up his attention. It was a frame, a frame standing on top of the desk, together with the other pictures. Heero had chosen to pick it up and look closely. The frame was made of varnished wood, beautiful and delicately crafted and the thing that was framed was not a picture or any painting, but it was a five-petal flower and they were three of them, beautifully arranged on a dark red soft silk, with a perfect look. "Am I too long?" Duo interrupted while walking towards Heero. He is now fixed compared to what he looked like earlier a minute ago. Heero looked to where the direction of the voice came from. Heero sees Duo as if he's shinning with sparkle of the midnight stars and glisters were following him. Heero's mouth hung wide open, looking at Duo incredulously. "Am I seeing stars?" Heero whispered. "What did you say?" Duo asks as he keeps on walking towards Heero. "What are you looking at?" Duo leaned forward with a frowned curious face and placing his hands on his waist. Heero stepped a little backwards wearing a funny mysterious face for Duo's face is already an inch close. "Hmm? Why are you wearing that kind of grin on your face?" Duo leaned further and saw Heero's hand, holding something. Duo snatched it. "What's this?" straightening his body up. Heero sighed in relief. "That was close." kneeling halfway and placing a hand on his chest. "Oh Heero, where did you find this thing? I've been looking for it everywhere." Duo said rubbing his cheek against the framed flowers. "OHHH. I thought I would never see this again. I thought I left it back in America. Arigato, Heero- san." Heero stood straight wearing a questioned face with matching floating question marks flying around Heero's head adding a big sweatdropped. "I'm just going to put this inside my room. Don't worry it won't take a minute. I'll be back in a flash." Duo turned around happily and run to his bedroom while Heero still has that big question mark on top of his face. "Ikimasho." Duo came out of the room and Heero snapped himself to awareness. Both of them of them walked out of the place and Duo locked the door. While walking on the street, Heero started. "That frame really is important to you, isn't it?" He walks the way he used to be, with his hands tucked inside his pocket. "Hah? Actually the three flowers inside is my real treasure." Duo replied with his arms at the back of his head, leaning and looking up. "I framed it myself." "It was framed delicately. The frame's also beautiful. Did you buy it? Where?" Heero asked again. "Thanks for praising it but, I didn't buy the frame. I made it myself." Duo answered proudly. "You mean, those three flowers really are that important to you." "Yup!" "How come?" Heero doesn't want to stop opening another question from the other. He's really too curious about the flowers. "My someone gave it to me." Duo replied bragly. "Who?" Heero stopped walking and faced Duo. Duo also stopped and put his hands down synchronizing his head to it. Heero asked again. "Who's that special person?" Duo placed his left hand on his waist and his right pointing, wiggling from left to right. Duo looked up and grinned. "Himitsu!" Heero sighed with his head and body bended down. Duo only laughed at Heero's reaction. "Don't worry, you'll know. If you're sensitive enough." Duo assured Heero. ".and what do you mean by that?" Heero asked, sensing something unusual about Duo. "Eh? It's nothing. We must hurry up." Duo runs away from Heero. "Hayaku!" Duo shouted, waving to Heero. "Hai! Hai! Hmmp! What's so special about those plants?" Heero doesn't want to stop about the flower intrigue. Duo doesn't want Heero to ask him about the flowers again so he keeps asking Heero about the others. "Uh. Hee-chan, why are we stopping here for?" Duo asked pulling Heero's jacket. "We're going to take a taxi in going to Trowa's place." Heero replied looking from left to right. There's one. Good thing we didn't wait for too long. Hop in." Heero insisted Duo to get in first then he followed. "This city really is busy, ne? Heero?" Duo asked, peering out of the window. "Yes it is." Heero replied, staring at Duo who is enjoying the view outside.

They turned into a village with huge houses. "Sugoi! Is this where Trowa leaves?" Duo was amazed at the structures he is now seeing. The car stopped in front of a green gated house that you will call BIG! "You may go down now. I'm going to follow." Duo stepped down off the car and stared at the house with the green painted gate, while Heero is paying the bill for the ride. "Ne, Heero is this where Trowa lives? It's beautiful." Duo asked in so much amusement. The taxi left leaving Heero and Duo on the street. "Oi. Duo. What are you looking at that house?" Heero called Duo, still amused at the house he's looking at. "Why, isn't this Trowa's house?" Duo wondered, pointing at the house. "Machigai! Trowa's house is at the other side of the road that you're looking at. THERE!" Heero corrected Duo. Pointing at the house at his back which is on the other side of the road. "WHAAAT?! How did the Whitehouse come here? Is America only a few minutes away from where I am living now?" Duo was surprised when he looked at the house Heero was pointing at. It was a white house with linings that reflects like gold and if you describe it, it really is beautiful and HUGE! "Are you sure that, that castle is where Trowa lives and not the president of the United States is in there." Duo screamed. He couldn't believe that Trowa lives in such a place. "I think I'm going to faint." "Stop bragging and let us get inside." Heero opened his mouth wide and shouted at Duo. Heero walks towards Trowa's house. He didn't even care about Duo, frozen at the middle of the road. When Heero press the doorbell, Duo crashed out of the ice and run beside Heero. "Barton's Residence." Duo read the sign. ".you really are not joking. Now I'm sure that U.S.'s president isn't inside." A man wearing a semi-Arab outfit opened the gate. "Mr. Heero Yuy, please come in." lowering his head slightly and stretching an arm towards the door. Heero walked towards it and Duo suddenly followed, sticking to Heero's back. The door opened and the maid welcomed them. "Ah, good to see you Mr. Yuy, my masters have been waiting for you at the living room together with Mr. Wufei. Please come in." stepping aside, giving room for Heero and Duo to enter. "I will accompany you. Please follow me." They walked down the hallway. A hallway that's designed with beautifully crafted arabesque. Duo's head cannot stop from wandering and be amused to the appearance of Trowa's house. They stopped in front of a two door room. The maid pushed the door slowly. She lowered her head and said. "Master, Mr. Yuy, together with his companion is here." The room was wide and a bright room with a little Arabian touch furnished to it. There, inside was Trowa and Wufei sited and chatting was only stopped by the distraction of the maid. "Heero!" Wufei looked to their direction. "You may go." Trowa addressed to the maid and walked back. Heero first entered, but Duo, due to being unfamiliar to the place, entered shyly, hiding like a kid at the back of Heero. "I have something for all of you." Heero announced while walking towards the upholstered couch together with Duo, still at his back, and sited. "Who's with you?" Trowa asked curiously. Wufei stared at Duo, feeling he recognize the person beside Heero. "Hmmm, he's the one I'm referring to. He's." "Duo! You're Duo, right?" Wufei cut Heero's introduction. Wufei stood up and sat beside Duo. "Do you remember me?" "Uhhh.Gomen, sadly no." Duo drawl, avoiding to hurt the man's feelings. "It's okay. My name's Wufei, now do you remember? It's only natural that you would forget me but, never will I forget you." Wufei introduced himself, holding Duo's hand. "AHEM!" Heero coughed intentionally, feeling uneasy, annoyed with Wufei making his own world together with Duo. Duo slipped back his hand and moved away from Wufei. "Is he really Duo, Heero?" Trowa couldn't really believe that Duo is now in front of him. Trowa stood in front of Duo."It's been nice to have you back with us, Duo. Welcome to my humble home." "You're house really is beautiful Trowa. I love it." Duo praised, standing up and looking around the room. "Why do you have to be so mean? Why is it that you recognize Trowa while you don't even recognize me?" Wufei spouted at Duo. "It's because you're less important." Heero gushed to the wind, addressing to nobody in particular. "YUY! You're really looking forward to a fight!" Wufei attacked Heero for a match. "The two of them are still fighting up to now." Duo remembered at the back of his mind, Heero and Wufei fighting during their childhood days. "Yes, and also with the same reason." Trowa whispered and looked at Duo slyly. "Is there something you said?" Duo didn't see it coming. "Ahhh.Yes. I said they cannot be stopped. Let us just leave them like that and we may have a little talk." Trowa returned to his seat and Duo sat on the couch in front of Trowa. Heero and Wufei stopped wrestling after seeing Duo and Trowa having a good conversation. Heero and Wufei sat separately, at each side of Duo. While walking to get a seat, their eyes are still blazing and sparks appear between their eyes, looking at each other furiously. The door opened, a finely dressed boy entered, walking straight to Trowa. The four of them didn't notice him entered; he wrapped his slender arms above Trowa's shoulders, resting his head on chin and whispered: "Did you miss me?" before planting a kiss on Trowa's lips. The kiss took about almost ten seconds together with sweet moans, which seems to be the only thing that can be heard over the ten seconds of silence.[2] Duo's eyes only blinked like a shutter. Heero and Wufei are already used to this kind of scene so they only relaxed at their place. But for Duo. "Oh, I see that we have a visitor. Who is.Duo?" the person who kissed Trowa stared at Duo and asked, but later recognized him. "Quatre?" Duo smiled at the boy entwined around Trowa's neck. "Duo!" "Quatre!" The two ran towards each other, Duo stood up and Quatre untwined his arms around Trowa and embraced each other, jumping up and down happily at the center. "How are you?" Quatre asked, looking at Duo from head to toe. "You look gorgeous." "And so are you. You've changed. I could hardly recognize you. Ohhhhh.I miss you so much!" "Me too. I couldn't believe that you're here." While Duo and Quatre are busy with each other, Wufei scowls at his place. "Argh! It's not fair. Why did Duo remembered everyone except for me? Aww.It hurts so much. INJUSTICE![3]" "I told you. It is because you're not important!" Heero again mumbled. "Heero! YOU! I heard that!" Wufei clench a fist, with his veins sprouting out as a sign of anger. "Manuke!" Heero continued. Wufei couldn't take anymore and he poured all of his guts onto Heero. "Oi, oi, oi! Don't make your own conversations there." Heero and Wufei looked at Trowa, pulling each other's ear and cheek while Duo and Quatre stopped their conversation and also looked at Trowa left with no one to talk to. "Hai, hai. Keep down your temper." Quatre walked and sited, holding Trowa's hand while Heero and Wufei each moved to the edges of the couch that leaves Duo no choice but to sit at the middle of the two. "So how did you know this place?" Quatre started with his friendly voice. "Heero brought me here." Duo looked at his left and right, fearing that a fight might begin with him at the middle of it. "Is that so? Heero, why didn't you tell us that Duo's coming?" Quatre demanded an explanation. "We just met last night." Heero answered flatly. Trowa asked voice soft as usual. "Last night? How?" "By a picture." Duo answered next, looking curiously at Quatre's hand. "Shashin?!" everyone asked with wonder, looking at the two suspiciously. "What do you mean a picture?" Wufei moved closer to Duo, wanting a clear explanation. Duo moved away from Wufei like a scared cat, moving closer to Heero. "Because it's like this." Duo and Heero explained what happed last night to the three, still looking suspicious at them that they are just making this story up for them to tell something about it in such a coincidence.

"Oh I see. So that's how you met. Such a story." Quatre leaned his head on Trowa's shoulder. "Hey! We didn't make that story up! It's true. Lying is not my thing!" Duo protested. "It's a pretty lucky picture! Such a coincidence. Why is it that I'm not the one?" Wufei still looks at Duo and Heero conspicuously at the corner of his eye with his arms crossed in front of his chest. "It's because you cannot be the one." Heero started again. "Heero! Do want to see the hospital now!" Wufei squeezes his fists, moving towards Heero throwing it to him. Duo holds back Wufei's attack, and avoids to be hit by Wufei's swaying hands, leaving Heero unharmed and sited quietly and the other corner of the couch, pretending not seeing Wufei wanting a fight. "Hmm? Doshita? I notice that you were looking at us from the start of you're story, Duo." The young Arab leaning on Trowa's shoulder lifted his head and asked. Wufei stopped swaying his arms and sat back mumbling at his place turning his back at Heero. "Ah.Uhm.the two of you are so sweet." Duo pointed at them, blushingly. "It is because they are a happily married couple." Wufei explained, looking jealous or something, looking at Duo dreaming, sky high. "They were like that, ever since they married two years ago." Heero talked at the edge of the couch with eyes closed and arms folded. "MARRIED?! Two.two years.married?!" Duo talked questionably, confused and surprised of the news he had just heard. "Yeah. Didn't I tell you that Trowa and Quatre are now Happily Married?" Heero questioned Duo, looking at him with his usual stare, *'nothing special'*. "No. I think you forget to mention that detail to me." Duo shouted he really is confused. He didn't even notice that his voice was too loud. "Okay. They are now two years married, happy and now lives together in this mansion. Now, don't tell me that I didn't mention it to you." Heero said, arms still crossed in front and didn't even move or bulged from his place. "Yeah right! But just now." Duo sweatdropped looking at Heero. "Is it really true that the two really married?" Duo addressed his question to Quatre and Trowa. "Yes. And it's our anniversary sixteen days from now. Two days after Heero's wedding." Quatre confirmed to Duo that he and Trowa really are married. "Aha! Did you know that Heero's getting married to Relena?" Wufei moved closer again to Duo, swinging an arm on Duo's shoulder and pointing a finger on Heero teasingly. "Yes. He had already mentioned that too me yesterday." Duo looked down and spoke slowly; Quatre noticed his friend's sudden change of reaction. "Speaking of wedding, what are you planning to do before you're wedding?" Trowa asked Heero, looking forward on an expected boy's party. "Duo, I think we should leave this room. We are going to have a long conversation. You are going to tell me a lot of things; besides, my husband here is opening a stag conversation of their own." Quatre invited Duo to leave the room and have a much more private and feminine conversation of their own, while the rest are having a talk with Heero's wedding. "Hey Trowa, may I use the phone?" Wufei tapped Trowa with his elbow. "You know where the phone is." Trowa waved a hand as a respond to Wufei's request. "Thank you." Wufei walked in the middle of Trowa's confirmation about his request. The two went out the door while Wufei picked up the phone grinning sheepishly.

[2]- silence is a virtue, as you may know [3]- it's an overused word actually

Author's notes: Shashin is picture. Their ages here should be between 17-18. Trowa and Quatre got married at the age of 15-16. Just bear with the mistakes of my carelessness.
