the way to a silent boy's heart

Chapter 8
Duo watched Quatre as he ushered him around the room. Quatre was as goos as his word. Duo did not find himself alone once. Nor did he feel as though he monopolized Quatre's time. As Quatre drug Duo along as he went around the room, talking with various people.
Quatre glanced at the clock. He and Duo had been going around the room now for about half an hour. Quatre frowned. Heero should have been here about half an hour ago. Yet not one of the Maguancs had come to see him. Quatre was beginning to worry. But he forced it down. He didn't really have to worry about Heero, fore he had been trained since he was a young boy to be the 'Perfect Soldier'.
"I'm sorry what did you say?" Quatre said realizing someone was talking to him.
"May I talk to you a minute?" asked Robert Lusage, a politician that Quatre knew.
"Of course. You'll excuse us won't you Duo?" Quatre asked.
"Sure, Q. I'll see you around." Duo said as he turned to walk away.
Quatre's hand shot out from his side and grabbed Duo's arm. The long haired pilot stopped and gave Quatre a strange look. Duo gave a soft smile while he removed Quatre's hand from his arm.
"I'm just going to walk around the room a while," Duo assured Quatre, answering the unspoken question in Quatre's eyes.
Robert stood off to one side, watching the exchange. He could tell that Quatre and this other boy were close and the look of worry that sprung into Quatre's eyes was not missed by him. Robert growled silently. He had become very fond of Quatre and he was jealous of the fact those two were so close.
Quatre smiled at Duo as he walked away. Then he turned to Robert and thought he saw jealously in his eyes, but couldn't be sure cause it was only there for a second. Quatre shook his head. I must have been imagining it he thought.
"What did you have to talk to me about?" Quatre asked.
"I was really only wondering why that long haired guy was here." Robert said.
Quatre's eyes narrowed a bit. "He's a friend of mine, that I haven't seen for a while. Why shouldn't I have invited him?" Quatre wondered.
"It's just that he doesn't fit in here really. I don't know if you know it or not, but he is a gundam pilot. And personally, I don't think you would ever hang around with someone like that." Robert stated.
"Yes, I do know that he was a gundam pilot. And I don't think you know enough about me to be forming such an opinion." Quatre said getting angry.
Duo was standing a ways away and he heard Quatre raising his voice. He looked over to where he had left Quatre and that other guy to talk.
Duo's eyes widened. He had never seen that look in Quatre's eyes. Duo saw that a crowd was beginning to form around the two. Duo made his way over as well. He had never seen Quatre get angry. But he had heard what he had done to Trowa and Heero. And if Quatre got that bad again, he doubted that anyone here could stop him.
The figure that had been in the garden also noticed how angry Quatre was. And was making his way over to him. He stopped for a moment when he saw Duo walk over towards Quatre. Shit, he thought, I'll just have to stay a little further back than I wanted. Then he continued on his way over to Quatre.
