Wiccachic: -_-b I haven't been able to write for TWO whole days!! ::tear:: now I finally have time but, alas, not much. Not really sure where this chapter is going to take me, cuz I'm just wingin' it. ::grin:: I guess we'll both just have to wait and see, ne?
Duo woke the next morning with the worst hangover imaginable to a ringing phone. He rolled over and glared at the offensive object, thinking that if looks could kill, the phone would be nothing but a pile of cinders and ash. It rang once more shrilly then was blessedly silent. He sighed in relief and rolled over, closing his eyes in bliss, but only for a moment because the hateful thing began it's horrid trilling again. He growled and picked it up. "What?"
"If you hadn't wanted me to call you shouldn't have given me your number."
"Heero?" Duo asked, sitting up and running his fingers through his loose hair. "Nah, I wanted you to call, I just had a busy night." He rubbed his hand over his face distractedly.
"Really." Heero's voice was laced with humor. "I was wondering if you would meet me for lunch today." the ex-pilot seemed as cool as ever.
Duo's heart skipped a beat. "Uh, sure! Where do you want me to meet you?"
"Don't worry about it. I'll come and get you around noon."
"Okay."
"See you then."
"Yeah, see ya." Duo said to the dial tone. He place the phone on the hook slowly, almost in a daze. He was having his first date with Heero. A date. He shook his head. No, he couldn't get so excited, they were just going as friends. He looked over at the clock and gasped. It was already ten o'clock!! He only had two hours to get ready!! Duo sprang from the bed and flew into the bathroom. He just had to remember that this was just a friendly meeting between friends. Right.

Heero finished buttoning up his white shirt and sighed. He couldn't wear this one either. He took it off and threw it in the ever growing pile of clothes on his bed. He let out an aggravated sigh and studied the remaining articles of clothing in his closet. A few t-shirts and jeans. Nothing too dressy, but not quite what he wanted. Frowning, he shook his head. It wasn't like this was supposed to be a date or anything. He growled softly and picked out a dark green shirt and a pair of black jeans. He only had an hour before he had to leave to pick up Duo and he didn't have any idea why he was so nervous. It was just a friendly meeting between friends.

Duo was just finishing braiding his hair when he heard the buzzer at his door. With a yelp he ran to answer it, violet eyes apologetic. "Heero, I'm sorry, I'm not quite ready. If you….would…" He met Releena's gaze perplexed. "Releena? What are you doing here?" He scratched his head. "How did you find me?"
She shrugged. "I was just wondering where Heero had wasted his time yesterday." she took a step forward and Duo moved away, letting her enter.
"Wasting his time?"
"Well yes. He left me yesterday and said he was bored, needed to find something to occupy his time." She tossed her blonde hair and settled onto his couch. She shrugged delicately. "He also mentioned that he wanted some free time today for lunch, something about wanting to humor an old acquaintance." She stood suddenly. "Oh well, I only came by to see who it was." She walked by him and patted his cheek. "Se you later, Duo."
He closed the door behind her and stared at the smooth wood for and indeterminable amount of time before slowly walking to his bedroom a flopping down on his bed. He was only a distraction? Shaking his head he grinned in self-deprecation and curled up into a ball, hugging his knees. Heero could just find someone else to occupy his time.

Releena walked down the hall way with a smug smile on her face. Heero's attentions would never stray from her, if she had her way and she always did. She looked up when she heard footsteps coming down the hallway and ducked into a darkened corner. Heero came walking by, wearing only a t-shirt and pair of jeans. Maybe she wouldn't have to worry about it if Duo didn't earn more that a t-shirt and pair of jeans. She watched her love knock on Duo's door, and took that time to scattle down the hallway and exit the hotel, her mind cleared of all guilt she may have felt when she thought of Duo taking any of Heero's affections from her.

Wiccachic: ::sweat drop:: man, Releena's stupid. ::rolls eyes:: as if she had any of Heero's affections!! I would just like to take this time to apologize for all the pain that Releena is causing poor Duo-san. ::snuggles poor bishonen:: but it will all turn out right in the end!! I Promise!!!
