Fight From the Heart
Round 2 - Falling Angels
Heero was worried. It was lunch and Duo still wasn't at school, he hadn't see the braided boy all day.
"Are you sure this is normal?" Heero glared across the table at Trowa who was presently trying hard
not to laugh at Heero's worried expression. Nodding Quatre answered Heero's question from his
perch on Trowa's lap, "For Iri- I mean Duo, yes it's normal for his to miss up to two weeks of school".
Rubbing his chin in an absent manner Heero continued to think of all the things that could have possible
happed to the boy. "Oh man! you got it bad!" glaring at Trowa again for good measure Heero turned
his back of the chuckling boy, determined to ignore him. Scanning the cafeteria once more, Heero
groaned as he saw Relena making her way over to him.
Turning back, Heero hunched low trying to disappear. "Heero what are you...." Quatre trailed off as he
saw the blond bimbo headed their way, "Ohhhh......" Trowa shook his head. "Heeeeellllllooooo" her
voice was sickeningly sweet with a forced false innocence. "Heero! My but you didn't even say hi
today..." Heero grunted unintelligible, trying to find a way to escape. "Well that's ok, I just wanted you
to know that next Friday the pep-squad is having a kind of fall dance..." obviously Relena was trying to
get Heero to ask her.
Across the table Quatre perked up, "Really?" Relena glared at the boy, in her mind it just wasn't
natural for boy's to like other boys. "Well Heero?" ignoring the scantily clad girl Heero's mind quickly
formulated a plan, yes he'd ask Duo to go with him! But he had to do it quick, surely people were
always asking him places. "Relena were's Duo today?" that fake smile slipped a bit, "What do you
mean?" Heero just stared at her, "Well he's sick today..."
Quickly Heero asked Relena for her address. Thinking Heero finally came to his sense's, she obligingly
gave Heero her address. Winking coyly, the blue-eyed girl walked away from the table. Heero looked
down at the address, Duo was sick... that meant that Duo couldn't come to school... he didn't hate
Heero...
Feeling better Heero decided that he was rather hungry. Pulling out his meal he ignored the stunned
looks he got from the other side of the table. Shrugging in defeat Trowa and Quatre continued their
lunch. Hardly 10 minutes later the table was surrounded by the football team. "Saw you at the gym
yesterday new-kid..." Heero looked up. Sitting next to him was the captain of the football team. Slightly
curly blond hair, bright blue eyes, in a boyish face he was every girls dream.
Shrugging Heero returned to his meal. The thickly muscled boy continued, "Saw what you did to that
bag..." Heero unconcerned shrugged again. Getting angry the neck-less wonder went in for the kill,
"You think your good? Well show off how 'bout stepping into the ring with a real man!" Heero shook
his head "I'm not gonna fight..." Heero found himself staring into 200 some odd pounds of angry red-
blooded male, "Your gonna fight me... and I'm gonna kill you!" Calmly Heero glared, "Omae o korosu
..." the stupid jock might not have known Japanese but he sure understood those cold blue eye's.
Gulping he stood and along with his jeering posse returned to their table.
Whistling through his teeth Trowa looked at Heero. "What'd you say man?" Heero returned to his
meal, "I'll kill you". Grinning Trowa looped his arms loosely around his lover's waist. "Well it's a real
pity that you made enemies with Jordan Hillgrove". "Hn..." was all Trowa received in reply.
Hearing the bell some minutes later Heero and Trowa waved a good-bye to Quatre and headed to
class. Heero spent the rest of the afternoon continplating his visit to Duo's place.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Tapping his foot impatiently Heero rang the doorbell again. He's arrived at the Peacecraft residence
shortly after three and here he stood hoping vainly that a certain purple eyed cutey would open the
door. Hearing the knob turn Heero held his breath as the massive wooden doors creaked open,
standing in the doorway was... Relena! Dressed in a bikini, and revelling way to much flesh, Heero felt
as though he needed a shower.
"Oh! Heero! I didn't think you's be by today..." Heero snorted Relena knew damn well he was going
to come over today. "Is Duo home?" that perfectly made face fell. Those perfectly manicured nails
clicked irritable on the doorframe, "No he went to... work", Heero hid his disappointment. "Ok well I
guess I should leave". Turning Heero was about to beat a hasty exit, when Relena grabbed him.
With surprising strength she hauled him inside. Closing the door, she backed him against the wood,
plastering her self to his front. Very uncomfortable and highly disgusted Heero pushed her away,
"Relena I am leaving!" smirking her perfect silicon injected lips, Relena nodded. "Oh what ever you say
Heero..." she breathed all submissive and weak.
Yanking the door open Heero stumbled outside as fast as he could. God that Relena was a bitch!
Waving widely Relena watched Heero till he disappeared. Closing the door Relena let the facade slip.
Growling she pulled on her sneakers heading for the basement.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo had to be dreaming. Blue eye's the colour of a unicorn's lake, dark brown hair soft to the touch
haunted his mind. It was one of the most erotic dreams Duo had ever had. Strong hands touched his
body tenderly, reverently. He felt kisses raining down on his face, his neck. That hot mouth trailing
lower, across his flat stomach heading for the place where he throbbed the most. Feeling that magical
mouth moving up his thigh now, closer, closer... then the pain.
"You goddam bastard!" Duo groaned as he felt himself dragged back to reality. Unable to open his
eye's fully, Duo focussed on the form above him. Feeling anther kick to his back he gasped in pain
trying to curl away from the foot that continued to strike his already battered flesh. "Get up and make
us dinner!"
Relena was secretly disgusted with Duo's appearance. He looked horrible, his face was swollen
beyond recognition, blood oozed from several deeper cuts. Although she would never acknowledge it,
she almost felt a slight twinge of sympathy.
Realizing who was kicking him, were he was, and what had happened the night before Duo struggled to
stand. He was going to be late for school.. He couldn't be, he had a date with Heero today, his first
ever date...
Relena ceased her kicking only to stare down at the thing that looked vaguely human. "You just missed
Heero..." she said. Duo gasped, Heero here? But why? "He came over to see me, you understand... I
mean at school today he was going to ask me to the Fall Dance but he got a little shy and chickened
out", Relena giggled. "I think he's gonna ask me tomorrow though".
Duo froze, he's missed school? He'd been unconscious all day? Ready to cry Duo stopped his vain
attempts to stand, and instead stared at Relena. Finally her attire penetrated his pain clouded mind,
fogged how could he be so stupid? Why would Heero want him, when Relena was free... "Well
anyway, get up and make us supper", prancing upstairs Relena idly hummed tunelessly.
Duo slumped forward, he lost his chance... the tears refused to come. He couldn't cry...
~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo hadn't been at school in a week. Heero sat once more in the cafeteria, along with Trowa and
Quatre. The two love birds wrapped around each other, totally ignoring the rest of the world. It had
been a terrible first week of school, and the second wasn't looking any better. Everyday Heero had
spent most of the lunch hour staring at the steps leading to the servery, willing a certain someone to
come falling down them.
The RP3 had been stalking him around school, every time he looked behind him there was one of the
three staring at him. It was the creepiest thing ever. Between the RP3 and the little bit of initial trouble
he and Wufei had run into things were not going so well.
So it was with a heavy heart that heero watched the stairs not really expecting to see Duo... Needless
to say it came as a shock to see that small form come running through the doors, only to trip over his
laces and go tumbling down the stairs. Heero was ecstatic. The cafeteria laughed, Duo blushed and
Heero ran towards him.
Reaching Duo just as the boy picked himself off the floor, Heero felt his good humour vanish as he saw
the light bruises on Duo's beautiful face. Startled Duo stared at Heero, why wasn't he with Relena?
Drowning in an ocean of violets, Heero simply stared at Duo. Duo simply stared at Heero.
"You missed our date..." blushing Duo looked down. "I'm sorry I just... I mean...." Heero shrugged
"Well let's try again ne? How about tonight?" Duo was reeling, he had anther chance? Knowing he had
work tonight to make up for the night he was away. Knowing he's regret it for the rest of his life if he
didn't say yes Duo swallowed all his objections and nodded. Heero smiled.
Finding himself compelled by some unknown force Heero leaned in the same time Duo did.... and the
bell rang signalling the end of lunch and the crash back to reality. "I'll meet you in the student parking lot
after school ok?" Duo nodded quickly before hurrying off a slight blush staining his cheeks. Heero
smiled the rest of the afternoon.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Fortunately there was no play rehearsal that night, so Duo made it in plenty of time to meet Heero.
Running across the courtyard Heero watched the angel approach. Braid falling out slightly, clothing
barley fitting his thin frame, shoe laces that were never tired... yup, Duo was his angel.
Reaching Heero slightly out of breath Duo wasn't given a chance to apologize for making the other boy
wait. Thrusting a helmet at the shorter boy Heero swung a leg over his bike. Looking from Heero to the
helmet, it took several minutes for the meaning of the whole situation to sink in. Realizing what he was
supposed to do Duo pulled the head piece on before mounting the bike behind Heero.
Revving the engine Heero felt Duo wrap his arms tightly around his waist. Smiling slightly Heero roared
off down the street. Duo held on for dear life. Stopping at the first red light, Heero idled as he turned his
head slightly to speak to Duo, "So were we going?" Thinking quickly Duo shouted the local coffee
house. Nodding Heero took off agin as the light changed to green.
It wasn't until they'd parked and were headed to the door that Duo remembered the coffee shop was a
favourite haunt for couples. Heero pushed the glass door open admitting the two boys, a bell jingled
above their heads. Seating themselves in a secluded corner booth, Heero looked at his surroundings
smirking. Duo turned beat red. "I'm s-sorry... I forgot that this was..." trailing off Duo stared at his
hands. Heero fought the urge to laugh out loud, that delicious accent was back full force.
Sitting back in the cushioned seat Heero crossed his muscled arms across his chest, "What about that
accent?" Looking across the table Duo frowned in puzzlement, "What accent?" Heero gave in a
chuckled, obviously the boy had no idea just how hot he was. Sitting together in the semi-circle booth
Heero casually slid closer to Duo who was still beet red. Studying the table Duo tried to calm down,
how could he have been so stupid, to bring Heero here?
Sliding closer still Heero queried Duo about his family. "Well... the Peacecrafts adopted me when I was
five..." Heero was stunned 5!? That was an awfully tender age to be in an orphanage. "What about
your parents... your real parents?" Duo shook his head, "Never knew them... I guess... they didn't want
me", the last was said in a soft whisper. Heero wanted to deny the statement, Duo had said it so calmly
as if speaking about the weather. At least he's known his parents, and here sat the boy of his dreams
calmly telling him he'd never known his true parents.
"What about you?" Staring blankly into purple eyes Heero gathered his scattered thoughts, Duo had
asked him about his parents? About to reply Heero was stalled when the waitress finally showed up,
the girl was from the boys high school, she was in Heero's English class. Snapping her gum she tapped
her foot impatiently when the boys didn't order fast enough. Seeing as it was still warm out, Heero
ordered iced coffees for both of them. The girl in her little brown skirt, and cream golf shirt took their
order and hurried away.
Heero watched the waitress leave making sure she was out of hearing distance before telling his story.
"Well I knew my parents... when I was 5 I watched my father beat my mother to death". Duo's mouth
rounded in horror, "I'm sorry..." he whispered. Heero shrugged he was over it, it was all in the past as
far as he was concerned. " I meet Wufei when I was about 13, the two of us kinda took to each other
you know?" Duo sat in rapt attention as Heero told his story. Wiping away a tear Duo patted Heero's
hand gently in comfort, "Oh my, what a life you've had".
Gently Heero leaned forward, the two boys were barley apart now, Duo looked at Heero like a deer in
headlights. Those gorgeous eyes widened in seeming terror. Seeing Duo's distress Heero was instantly
alert, grasping thin shoulders Heero searched those deep eyes for answers. "Who hurts you Duo?" the
question was whispered, almost to soft for Duo to hear. But he did. Heero watched as something
sparked deep in those eyes, some unknown emotion, was it shame?
"Yo, here's your drinks", the waitress was back with their order. Heero cursed quietly in Japanese, as
he released Duo's shoulders. The waitress didn't immediately leave, instead she remained and eyed
Heero. "I get off at 8..." she said in a supposedly sexy whisper. Duo blushed and Heero rolled his eyes,
"Good for you" he replied. Still not taking the hint, the girl leaned forward on the table attempting a
display of her 'goods' it was defiantly a Relena-type move.
Heero had just about had enough of the pushy waitress, gathering his control and courage he pulled the
still blushing Duo into his lap. Wrapping an arm around the others tiny waist Heero glared at the skirted
girl. Blinking in shock and not saying a word she stalked off back ramrod stiff. Heero meanwhile was
enjoying the feel of the small boy in his lap, while Duo thought he was going to go up in flames of
embarrassment.
After a few moments Duo relaxed in the grip of those strong hands. Leaning back the braided boy
turned his head into the hallow of Heero's collarbone. He knew he shouldn't but he couldn't resist,
there was a pull comming from Heero. A kind of unknown magnetism that beckoned and called to
Duo. Closing his eyes he swore he'd only sit on Heero a while longer, just a few...
Heero knew instantly the second Duo feel asleep. He could feel that slim body completely relax in his
arms. Heero held tightly ro his precious burden just enjoying the feeling of him being so near. The idea
to pull Duo into his lap had been a spur of the moment tact to get rid of the creepy serving girl. Now
here he was with an angel in his arms. Gently tilting Duo's head Heero looked at the pale face in the
harsh flourescent light of the cafe. Features relaxed in sleep, Heero studied the bruises that still adorned
Duo's face. Although almost faded Heero gently traces a bruise in the shape of a hand, that marred the
perfect pale skin of one cheek. With tenderness he didn't know he had Heero cradled the boy a little
longer.
2 to 3 hours elapsed before Heero decided Duo need to get home. "Duo... Duo love", the endearment
slipped out but God it felt so right. "Duo wake up it's getting late..." stirring faintly Duo opened his eyes,
blinking owlishly he stared at a smirking Heero. "Oh... Oh!" sitting up straight Duo realized he was still
in the coffee shop, and he was still in Heero's lap. "Come on, we better go", getting off Heero, Duo slid
out of the booth. Heero followed suit paying for their coffee and not leaving a tip for the bitchy waitress.
Slinging an arm around Duo's waist the pair made their way to Heero's bike. Strapping on a helmet
Duo climbed up behind Heero.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Back in the café a certain ginger haired underling of Dr. J watched the pair leave. Whipping out his cell
phone he rapidly punched in the number of his boss. "Hey Dr. J... I think I got your leverage..." Treize
listened for a few moments before hanging up. They had Heero Yuy now... oh yes the boy would box
for them. Whether he was willing or not.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Parking outside the Quicky, Duo got off the motorcycle. "I had a nice time Heero..." looking at his old
shoes Duo couldn't help the red tint that appeared on his cheeks. Heero smiled warmly "So did I..." an
awkward silence fell as Heero decided to take the big plunge, "Duo would you... I mean... would you
consider goingtothedancewithme?" Staring blankly Duo took a few moment to un-jumble the phrase.
Smiling brightly he nodded, "I'd love to Heero". Leaning forward Duo spontaneously kissed Heero on
the cheek.
Blushing to the roots of his hair Duo ran like the wind into the store and out of sight. The thought of that
kiss stayed with him the entire night, he couldn't stop smiling.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Laughing Heero gunned the engine and streaked off home. Man he couldn't believe it. Duo had kissed
him! Him! Laughing Heero parked outside the dojo. Still floating on cloud nine Heero walked right into
a very mad Wufei in the kitchen. "Wufei! Man how are you? Good? Glad to hear it", humming Heero
fixed him self a snack ignoring the bewildered Chinese man behind him.
Shaking his head Wufei frowned properly once more. " Where have you been?" Heero smiled, "I meet
someone..." Wufei was instantly alert this was the first time he'd ever heard of Heero and well... a
girlfriend... Taking a seat Heero viciously bit into the ham sandwich he's made for himself. Taking a seat
across from the still giddy Heero Wufei stared silently waiting for answers, but patients had never been
one of his virtues, "So who is she?" Heero stopped eating to look at his brother or sorts. "Well... you
see... this is where we hit a gray area..." staring blankly Wufei was just not getting it. Sighing Heero
mustered his courage "It's notagirlitsaguy..." still clueless the Chinese man stared at the Japanese man.
"Wufei... it's a guy and his name's Duo", Heero swore he saw the gears turning. " 5 4 3 2 1..." he
whispered softly, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN A GUY!"
Sitting stoicly Heero waited out the tidal wave of shock he received. A good 10 minutes later Wufei
subsided to incoherent grunts, then silence. "Do you love him?" it was Heero's turn to be shocked,
"Well I... I-I... do", Heero's face lit up brilliantly. He just realized it, he loved Duo, loved him so
much... shaking his head Wufei glanced at his counterpart. "Well I'd like to meet him," Wufei idly
mused some one who could get to heero like that deserved his attention.
"So your alright? I mean your ok with this?" Wufei nodded, Heero had finally found what he was
looking for. Whooping with joy Heero gripped Wufei in a tight hug. "Arigatou!" Struggling to escape
the black-haired teen shook off the show of affection. "Well lover boy you got a clas-" the rest of the
sentence was cut off as Heero ran full tilt to the dojo. " Class waiting..." Wufei finished into thin air.
"Injustice..."
~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero sat at his laptop rapidly typing away on the black box. He'd just finished his last class of the
evening. It was a self-defence class that taught the basics of protecting ones self. Actually it was a class
entirely composed of girls, go figure. Heero on the other hand hadn't really paid attention to his own
instructions though. No his mind had been on his new boyfriend... and dare he hope, lover.
It was at that point he's decided that he needed to do a little research. He needed to know... just how
he could ahhh... well make love to his Duo. So sitting in nothing but a pair of black spandex shorts [1]
he was surfing the net in search of a solution to his problem.
Soon enough he stumbled onto a likely looking site. Sure enough, everything Heero would ever need to
know was explained in through detail pictures included. 20 minutes later Heero abruptly stood, heading
in the direction of the bathroom. "Cold shower, cold shower, cold shower..." he repeated over and
over agin as he quickly turned on the taps.
Stepping into the icy stream he gritted his teeth trying vainly to get his body to calm down. In his mind's
eye he could picture Duo withering with pleasure beneath him. Large violet eye's dark with lust pleaded
Heero to take him, to claim him... shoving the thoughts aside Heero let the freezing water wash over
him. Cooling his lust.
Eventually he did calm down enough to go to bed. Shutting down his computer without looking at the
pictures still on there, he turned out his light. Settling on his bed the blue eyed teen's thoughts drifted
back to Duo again and again. "Damn..." he cursed, Duo would be his... Sighing Heero rolled over onto
his back. Arms under his head he imagined that beautiful face once more. He couldn't believe Duo was
going to the dance with him. Smiling into the darkness Heero finally let go of consciousness heading
instead into the realms of dreams.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Relena hung up the phone. She'd heard some rather disturbing gossip, now frowning she slathered
more cold cream on her face. Curlers in her hair, waring a flimsy pink night gown, and a matching silk
robe she glared into the mirror. Apparently Dorothy had heard from Jenny, who'd heard from Stacey,
who knew Lizzy, who's best friend Betsy works at the Café Stop. Apparently she had seen Duo and
Heero together with Duo sitting in heero's lap.
Brushing her hair savagely Relena continued to mull over the situation. Goddamit! It had to be a
mistake... snarling in fury she threw her brush into the vanity mirror shattering the glass. Feeling slightly
better she got into bed, it had to be a mistake. After all Heero would be hers... and Duo would never
stand a chance against her.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo crept silently into the dark, quiet house. Thankfully nobody was awake and that meant that tonight
Duo would escape a beating. Like a shadow Duo made it to his tiny room in the basement, his
sanctuary. Pulling on more cloths he quickly slid into his little bed. Well it was more of a piece of foam
on the floor then an actual bed. It had at least a dozen different blanket piled on top, some thick others
ratty and used.
Satisfactory buddled up he curled in on himself trying to gain some warmth, God he hated when it got
cold out. Sure the snow was fun, but Duo tended to freeze during the colder seasons. Yawning widely
Duo thought back to his date with Heero. Duo had done something he'd never thought possible, he'd
fallen in love... a weakness in his already fragile exsistance. He knew Heero liked him, but he'd never
love him. Feeling unreasonably sad and depressed he fought back the sadness that threatened to engulf
his life. He was such an idiot...
~*~*~*~*~*~
The next afternoon found Heero in the cafeteria waiting patiently at the bottom of the stairs. Looking at
his watch he saw the time was 11:13 am, any moment now.. Sure enough Duo came breezing in braid
trailing behind him, and shoelaces, as always undone. Like clock work Duo tripped on the second step
and went head long into the waiting arms of his very own hero.
Heero caught the falling angel before he had time to get up the proper momentum. Startled Duo
instinctively wrapped his arms around his saviours next clinging like a limpet. The cafeteria was utterly
silent, all eyes were watching the two boys standing at the bottom of the stairs. Suddenly a utensil hit the
floor with a resounding clang, which in turn seemed to be the signal for chatter to start up again.
Ignoring the furtive glances cast his way Heero maintained his hold on Duo as he made his way to the
table he shared with Quatre and Trowa. The pair in their usual position with Quarte seated squarely in
Trowa's lap, were astounded. They had defiantly missed something. Seating him self gently in his chair
Heero settled a wide eyed blushing Duo gently in his lap. "Ummm.... Heero?" Quatre was looking at a
smug Heero in bewilderment. Smiling Heero introduced Duo to the pair proudly, Duo shook the hand
proffered by Quatre and nodded in acknowledgment to Trowa.
Introductions aside, Quarte took instantly to the shy braided brunette. Chatting about school and the
latest gossip the two boys seemed to genuinely like each other. Still holding Duo Heero tightened his
grip around the boys waist as he saw Relena saunter over. Reaching the table she immediately set into
Heero, " Hullo darling..." she whispered, "So what time are you coming to get me Friday?" leaning over
in order to give Heero a nice view of her chest. Growling Heero held Duo fast as the slim boy tried to
leave the safe haven of his lap. "Relena I won't be comming to get you", turning to look at Duo he
smiled softly, "I'm already going with Duo". Smiling Heero turned to look at Relena who had turned an
unattractive shade of purplish red; she looked ready to explode. Turning on her heels she stalked away.
Laughing Heero hugged Duo tenderly, "Arigatou Duo!" at the blank expression of his sweethearts face
made Heero realized he'd fallen back to his native tounge, "Thank you Duo". Grinning slightly Duo
whispered quietly, "No problem..." snuggling closer Duo layed his head on Heero's shoulder. Maybe
he had a chance yet...

Fight From the Heart
Round 2 - Falling Angels
Heero was worried. It was lunch and Duo still wasn't at school, he hadn't see the braided boy all day.
"Are you sure this is normal?" Heero glared across the table at Trowa who was presently trying hard
not to laugh at Heero's worried expression. Nodding Quatre answered Heero's question from his
perch on Trowa's lap, "For Iri- I mean Duo, yes it's normal for his to miss up to two weeks of school".
Rubbing his chin in an absent manner Heero continued to think of all the things that could have possible
happed to the boy. "Oh man! you got it bad!" glaring at Trowa again for good measure Heero turned
his back of the chuckling boy, determined to ignore him. Scanning the cafeteria once more, Heero
groaned as he saw Relena making her way over to him.
Turning back, Heero hunched low trying to disappear. "Heero what are you...." Quatre trailed off as he
saw the blond bimbo headed their way, "Ohhhh......" Trowa shook his head. "Heeeeellllllooooo" her
voice was sickeningly sweet with a forced false innocence. "Heero! My but you didn't even say hi
today..." Heero grunted unintelligible, trying to find a way to escape. "Well that's ok, I just wanted you
to know that next Friday the pep-squad is having a kind of fall dance..." obviously Relena was trying to
get Heero to ask her.
Across the table Quatre perked up, "Really?" Relena glared at the boy, in her mind it just wasn't
natural for boy's to like other boys. "Well Heero?" ignoring the scantily clad girl Heero's mind quickly
formulated a plan, yes he'd ask Duo to go with him! But he had to do it quick, surely people were
always asking him places. "Relena were's Duo today?" that fake smile slipped a bit, "What do you
mean?" Heero just stared at her, "Well he's sick today..."
Quickly Heero asked Relena for her address. Thinking Heero finally came to his sense's, she obligingly
gave Heero her address. Winking coyly, the blue-eyed girl walked away from the table. Heero looked
down at the address, Duo was sick... that meant that Duo couldn't come to school... he didn't hate
Heero...
Feeling better Heero decided that he was rather hungry. Pulling out his meal he ignored the stunned
looks he got from the other side of the table. Shrugging in defeat Trowa and Quatre continued their
lunch. Hardly 10 minutes later the table was surrounded by the football team. "Saw you at the gym
yesterday new-kid..." Heero looked up. Sitting next to him was the captain of the football team. Slightly
curly blond hair, bright blue eyes, in a boyish face he was every girls dream.
Shrugging Heero returned to his meal. The thickly muscled boy continued, "Saw what you did to that
bag..." Heero unconcerned shrugged again. Getting angry the neck-less wonder went in for the kill,
"You think your good? Well show off how 'bout stepping into the ring with a real man!" Heero shook
his head "I'm not gonna fight..." Heero found himself staring into 200 some odd pounds of angry red-
blooded male, "Your gonna fight me... and I'm gonna kill you!" Calmly Heero glared, "Omae o korosu
..." the stupid jock might not have known Japanese but he sure understood those cold blue eye's.
Gulping he stood and along with his jeering posse returned to their table.
Whistling through his teeth Trowa looked at Heero. "What'd you say man?" Heero returned to his
meal, "I'll kill you". Grinning Trowa looped his arms loosely around his lover's waist. "Well it's a real
pity that you made enemies with Jordan Hillgrove". "Hn..." was all Trowa received in reply.
Hearing the bell some minutes later Heero and Trowa waved a good-bye to Quatre and headed to
class. Heero spent the rest of the afternoon continplating his visit to Duo's place.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Tapping his foot impatiently Heero rang the doorbell again. He's arrived at the Peacecraft residence
shortly after three and here he stood hoping vainly that a certain purple eyed cutey would open the
door. Hearing the knob turn Heero held his breath as the massive wooden doors creaked open,
standing in the doorway was... Relena! Dressed in a bikini, and revelling way to much flesh, Heero felt
as though he needed a shower.
"Oh! Heero! I didn't think you's be by today..." Heero snorted Relena knew damn well he was going
to come over today. "Is Duo home?" that perfectly made face fell. Those perfectly manicured nails
clicked irritable on the doorframe, "No he went to... work", Heero hid his disappointment. "Ok well I
guess I should leave". Turning Heero was about to beat a hasty exit, when Relena grabbed him.
With surprising strength she hauled him inside. Closing the door, she backed him against the wood,
plastering her self to his front. Very uncomfortable and highly disgusted Heero pushed her away,
"Relena I am leaving!" smirking her perfect silicon injected lips, Relena nodded. "Oh what ever you say
Heero..." she breathed all submissive and weak.
Yanking the door open Heero stumbled outside as fast as he could. God that Relena was a bitch!
Waving widely Relena watched Heero till he disappeared. Closing the door Relena let the facade slip.
Growling she pulled on her sneakers heading for the basement.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo had to be dreaming. Blue eye's the colour of a unicorn's lake, dark brown hair soft to the touch
haunted his mind. It was one of the most erotic dreams Duo had ever had. Strong hands touched his
body tenderly, reverently. He felt kisses raining down on his face, his neck. That hot mouth trailing
lower, across his flat stomach heading for the place where he throbbed the most. Feeling that magical
mouth moving up his thigh now, closer, closer... then the pain.
"You goddam bastard!" Duo groaned as he felt himself dragged back to reality. Unable to open his
eye's fully, Duo focussed on the form above him. Feeling anther kick to his back he gasped in pain
trying to curl away from the foot that continued to strike his already battered flesh. "Get up and make
us dinner!"
Relena was secretly disgusted with Duo's appearance. He looked horrible, his face was swollen
beyond recognition, blood oozed from several deeper cuts. Although she would never acknowledge it,
she almost felt a slight twinge of sympathy.
Realizing who was kicking him, were he was, and what had happened the night before Duo struggled to
stand. He was going to be late for school.. He couldn't be, he had a date with Heero today, his first
ever date...
Relena ceased her kicking only to stare down at the thing that looked vaguely human. "You just missed
Heero..." she said. Duo gasped, Heero here? But why? "He came over to see me, you understand... I
mean at school today he was going to ask me to the Fall Dance but he got a little shy and chickened
out", Relena giggled. "I think he's gonna ask me tomorrow though".
Duo froze, he's missed school? He'd been unconscious all day? Ready to cry Duo stopped his vain
attempts to stand, and instead stared at Relena. Finally her attire penetrated his pain clouded mind,
fogged how could he be so stupid? Why would Heero want him, when Relena was free... "Well
anyway, get up and make us supper", prancing upstairs Relena idly hummed tunelessly.
Duo slumped forward, he lost his chance... the tears refused to come. He couldn't cry...
~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo hadn't been at school in a week. Heero sat once more in the cafeteria, along with Trowa and
Quatre. The two love birds wrapped around each other, totally ignoring the rest of the world. It had
been a terrible first week of school, and the second wasn't looking any better. Everyday Heero had
spent most of the lunch hour staring at the steps leading to the servery, willing a certain someone to
come falling down them.
The RP3 had been stalking him around school, every time he looked behind him there was one of the
three staring at him. It was the creepiest thing ever. Between the RP3 and the little bit of initial trouble
he and Wufei had run into things were not going so well.
So it was with a heavy heart that heero watched the stairs not really expecting to see Duo... Needless
to say it came as a shock to see that small form come running through the doors, only to trip over his
laces and go tumbling down the stairs. Heero was ecstatic. The cafeteria laughed, Duo blushed and
Heero ran towards him.
Reaching Duo just as the boy picked himself off the floor, Heero felt his good humour vanish as he saw
the light bruises on Duo's beautiful face. Startled Duo stared at Heero, why wasn't he with Relena?
Drowning in an ocean of violets, Heero simply stared at Duo. Duo simply stared at Heero.
"You missed our date..." blushing Duo looked down. "I'm sorry I just... I mean...." Heero shrugged
"Well let's try again ne? How about tonight?" Duo was reeling, he had anther chance? Knowing he had
work tonight to make up for the night he was away. Knowing he's regret it for the rest of his life if he
didn't say yes Duo swallowed all his objections and nodded. Heero smiled.
Finding himself compelled by some unknown force Heero leaned in the same time Duo did.... and the
bell rang signalling the end of lunch and the crash back to reality. "I'll meet you in the student parking lot
after school ok?" Duo nodded quickly before hurrying off a slight blush staining his cheeks. Heero
smiled the rest of the afternoon.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Fortunately there was no play rehearsal that night, so Duo made it in plenty of time to meet Heero.
Running across the courtyard Heero watched the angel approach. Braid falling out slightly, clothing
barley fitting his thin frame, shoe laces that were never tired... yup, Duo was his angel.
Reaching Heero slightly out of breath Duo wasn't given a chance to apologize for making the other boy
wait. Thrusting a helmet at the shorter boy Heero swung a leg over his bike. Looking from Heero to the
helmet, it took several minutes for the meaning of the whole situation to sink in. Realizing what he was
supposed to do Duo pulled the head piece on before mounting the bike behind Heero.
Revving the engine Heero felt Duo wrap his arms tightly around his waist. Smiling slightly Heero roared
off down the street. Duo held on for dear life. Stopping at the first red light, Heero idled as he turned his
head slightly to speak to Duo, "So were we going?" Thinking quickly Duo shouted the local coffee
house. Nodding Heero took off agin as the light changed to green.
It wasn't until they'd parked and were headed to the door that Duo remembered the coffee shop was a
favourite haunt for couples. Heero pushed the glass door open admitting the two boys, a bell jingled
above their heads. Seating themselves in a secluded corner booth, Heero looked at his surroundings
smirking. Duo turned beat red. "I'm s-sorry... I forgot that this was..." trailing off Duo stared at his
hands. Heero fought the urge to laugh out loud, that delicious accent was back full force.
Sitting back in the cushioned seat Heero crossed his muscled arms across his chest, "What about that
accent?" Looking across the table Duo frowned in puzzlement, "What accent?" Heero gave in a
chuckled, obviously the boy had no idea just how hot he was. Sitting together in the semi-circle booth
Heero casually slid closer to Duo who was still beet red. Studying the table Duo tried to calm down,
how could he have been so stupid, to bring Heero here?
Sliding closer still Heero queried Duo about his family. "Well... the Peacecrafts adopted me when I was
five..." Heero was stunned 5!? That was an awfully tender age to be in an orphanage. "What about
your parents... your real parents?" Duo shook his head, "Never knew them... I guess... they didn't want
me", the last was said in a soft whisper. Heero wanted to deny the statement, Duo had said it so calmly
as if speaking about the weather. At least he's known his parents, and here sat the boy of his dreams
calmly telling him he'd never known his true parents.
"What about you?" Staring blankly into purple eyes Heero gathered his scattered thoughts, Duo had
asked him about his parents? About to reply Heero was stalled when the waitress finally showed up,
the girl was from the boys high school, she was in Heero's English class. Snapping her gum she tapped
her foot impatiently when the boys didn't order fast enough. Seeing as it was still warm out, Heero
ordered iced coffees for both of them. The girl in her little brown skirt, and cream golf shirt took their
order and hurried away.
Heero watched the waitress leave making sure she was out of hearing distance before telling his story.
"Well I knew my parents... when I was 5 I watched my father beat my mother to death". Duo's mouth
rounded in horror, "I'm sorry..." he whispered. Heero shrugged he was over it, it was all in the past as
far as he was concerned. " I meet Wufei when I was about 13, the two of us kinda took to each other
you know?" Duo sat in rapt attention as Heero told his story. Wiping away a tear Duo patted Heero's
hand gently in comfort, "Oh my, what a life you've had".
Gently Heero leaned forward, the two boys were barley apart now, Duo looked at Heero like a deer in
headlights. Those gorgeous eyes widened in seeming terror. Seeing Duo's distress Heero was instantly
alert, grasping thin shoulders Heero searched those deep eyes for answers. "Who hurts you Duo?" the
question was whispered, almost to soft for Duo to hear. But he did. Heero watched as something
sparked deep in those eyes, some unknown emotion, was it shame?
"Yo, here's your drinks", the waitress was back with their order. Heero cursed quietly in Japanese, as
he released Duo's shoulders. The waitress didn't immediately leave, instead she remained and eyed
Heero. "I get off at 8..." she said in a supposedly sexy whisper. Duo blushed and Heero rolled his eyes,
"Good for you" he replied. Still not taking the hint, the girl leaned forward on the table attempting a
display of her 'goods' it was defiantly a Relena-type move.
Heero had just about had enough of the pushy waitress, gathering his control and courage he pulled the
still blushing Duo into his lap. Wrapping an arm around the others tiny waist Heero glared at the skirted
girl. Blinking in shock and not saying a word she stalked off back ramrod stiff. Heero meanwhile was
enjoying the feel of the small boy in his lap, while Duo thought he was going to go up in flames of
embarrassment.
After a few moments Duo relaxed in the grip of those strong hands. Leaning back the braided boy
turned his head into the hallow of Heero's collarbone. He knew he shouldn't but he couldn't resist,
there was a pull comming from Heero. A kind of unknown magnetism that beckoned and called to
Duo. Closing his eyes he swore he'd only sit on Heero a while longer, just a few...
Heero knew instantly the second Duo feel asleep. He could feel that slim body completely relax in his
arms. Heero held tightly ro his precious burden just enjoying the feeling of him being so near. The idea
to pull Duo into his lap had been a spur of the moment tact to get rid of the creepy serving girl. Now
here he was with an angel in his arms. Gently tilting Duo's head Heero looked at the pale face in the
harsh flourescent light of the cafe. Features relaxed in sleep, Heero studied the bruises that still adorned
Duo's face. Although almost faded Heero gently traces a bruise in the shape of a hand, that marred the
perfect pale skin of one cheek. With tenderness he didn't know he had Heero cradled the boy a little
longer.
2 to 3 hours elapsed before Heero decided Duo need to get home. "Duo... Duo love", the endearment
slipped out but God it felt so right. "Duo wake up it's getting late..." stirring faintly Duo opened his eyes,
blinking owlishly he stared at a smirking Heero. "Oh... Oh!" sitting up straight Duo realized he was still
in the coffee shop, and he was still in Heero's lap. "Come on, we better go", getting off Heero, Duo slid
out of the booth. Heero followed suit paying for their coffee and not leaving a tip for the bitchy waitress.
Slinging an arm around Duo's waist the pair made their way to Heero's bike. Strapping on a helmet
Duo climbed up behind Heero.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Back in the café a certain ginger haired underling of Dr. J watched the pair leave. Whipping out his cell
phone he rapidly punched in the number of his boss. "Hey Dr. J... I think I got your leverage..." Treize
listened for a few moments before hanging up. They had Heero Yuy now... oh yes the boy would box
for them. Whether he was willing or not.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Parking outside the Quicky, Duo got off the motorcycle. "I had a nice time Heero..." looking at his old
shoes Duo couldn't help the red tint that appeared on his cheeks. Heero smiled warmly "So did I..." an
awkward silence fell as Heero decided to take the big plunge, "Duo would you... I mean... would you
consider goingtothedancewithme?" Staring blankly Duo took a few moment to un-jumble the phrase.
Smiling brightly he nodded, "I'd love to Heero". Leaning forward Duo spontaneously kissed Heero on
the cheek.
Blushing to the roots of his hair Duo ran like the wind into the store and out of sight. The thought of that
kiss stayed with him the entire night, he couldn't stop smiling.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Laughing Heero gunned the engine and streaked off home. Man he couldn't believe it. Duo had kissed
him! Him! Laughing Heero parked outside the dojo. Still floating on cloud nine Heero walked right into
a very mad Wufei in the kitchen. "Wufei! Man how are you? Good? Glad to hear it", humming Heero
fixed him self a snack ignoring the bewildered Chinese man behind him.
Shaking his head Wufei frowned properly once more. " Where have you been?" Heero smiled, "I meet
someone..." Wufei was instantly alert this was the first time he'd ever heard of Heero and well... a
girlfriend... Taking a seat Heero viciously bit into the ham sandwich he's made for himself. Taking a seat
across from the still giddy Heero Wufei stared silently waiting for answers, but patients had never been
one of his virtues, "So who is she?" Heero stopped eating to look at his brother or sorts. "Well... you
see... this is where we hit a gray area..." staring blankly Wufei was just not getting it. Sighing Heero
mustered his courage "It's notagirlitsaguy..." still clueless the Chinese man stared at the Japanese man.
"Wufei... it's a guy and his name's Duo", Heero swore he saw the gears turning. " 5 4 3 2 1..." he
whispered softly, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN A GUY!"
Sitting stoicly Heero waited out the tidal wave of shock he received. A good 10 minutes later Wufei
subsided to incoherent grunts, then silence. "Do you love him?" it was Heero's turn to be shocked,
"Well I... I-I... do", Heero's face lit up brilliantly. He just realized it, he loved Duo, loved him so
much... shaking his head Wufei glanced at his counterpart. "Well I'd like to meet him," Wufei idly
mused some one who could get to heero like that deserved his attention.
"So your alright? I mean your ok with this?" Wufei nodded, Heero had finally found what he was
looking for. Whooping with joy Heero gripped Wufei in a tight hug. "Arigatou!" Struggling to escape
the black-haired teen shook off the show of affection. "Well lover boy you got a clas-" the rest of the
sentence was cut off as Heero ran full tilt to the dojo. " Class waiting..." Wufei finished into thin air.
"Injustice..."
~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero sat at his laptop rapidly typing away on the black box. He'd just finished his last class of the
evening. It was a self-defence class that taught the basics of protecting ones self. Actually it was a class
entirely composed of girls, go figure. Heero on the other hand hadn't really paid attention to his own
instructions though. No his mind had been on his new boyfriend... and dare he hope, lover.
It was at that point he's decided that he needed to do a little research. He needed to know... just how
he could ahhh... well make love to his Duo. So sitting in nothing but a pair of black spandex shorts [1]
he was surfing the net in search of a solution to his problem.
Soon enough he stumbled onto a likely looking site. Sure enough, everything Heero would ever need to
know was explained in through detail pictures included. 20 minutes later Heero abruptly stood, heading
in the direction of the bathroom. "Cold shower, cold shower, cold shower..." he repeated over and
over agin as he quickly turned on the taps.
Stepping into the icy stream he gritted his teeth trying vainly to get his body to calm down. In his mind's
eye he could picture Duo withering with pleasure beneath him. Large violet eye's dark with lust pleaded
Heero to take him, to claim him... shoving the thoughts aside Heero let the freezing water wash over
him. Cooling his lust.
Eventually he did calm down enough to go to bed. Shutting down his computer without looking at the
pictures still on there, he turned out his light. Settling on his bed the blue eyed teen's thoughts drifted
back to Duo again and again. "Damn..." he cursed, Duo would be his... Sighing Heero rolled over onto
his back. Arms under his head he imagined that beautiful face once more. He couldn't believe Duo was
going to the dance with him. Smiling into the darkness Heero finally let go of consciousness heading
instead into the realms of dreams.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Relena hung up the phone. She'd heard some rather disturbing gossip, now frowning she slathered
more cold cream on her face. Curlers in her hair, waring a flimsy pink night gown, and a matching silk
robe she glared into the mirror. Apparently Dorothy had heard from Jenny, who'd heard from Stacey,
who knew Lizzy, who's best friend Betsy works at the Café Stop. Apparently she had seen Duo and
Heero together with Duo sitting in heero's lap.
Brushing her hair savagely Relena continued to mull over the situation. Goddamit! It had to be a
mistake... snarling in fury she threw her brush into the vanity mirror shattering the glass. Feeling slightly
better she got into bed, it had to be a mistake. After all Heero would be hers... and Duo would never
stand a chance against her.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo crept silently into the dark, quiet house. Thankfully nobody was awake and that meant that tonight
Duo would escape a beating. Like a shadow Duo made it to his tiny room in the basement, his
sanctuary. Pulling on more cloths he quickly slid into his little bed. Well it was more of a piece of foam
on the floor then an actual bed. It had at least a dozen different blanket piled on top, some thick others
ratty and used.
Satisfactory buddled up he curled in on himself trying to gain some warmth, God he hated when it got
cold out. Sure the snow was fun, but Duo tended to freeze during the colder seasons. Yawning widely
Duo thought back to his date with Heero. Duo had done something he'd never thought possible, he'd
fallen in love... a weakness in his already fragile exsistance. He knew Heero liked him, but he'd never
love him. Feeling unreasonably sad and depressed he fought back the sadness that threatened to engulf
his life. He was such an idiot...
~*~*~*~*~*~
The next afternoon found Heero in the cafeteria waiting patiently at the bottom of the stairs. Looking at
his watch he saw the time was 11:13 am, any moment now.. Sure enough Duo came breezing in braid
trailing behind him, and shoelaces, as always undone. Like clock work Duo tripped on the second step
and went head long into the waiting arms of his very own hero.
Heero caught the falling angel before he had time to get up the proper momentum. Startled Duo
instinctively wrapped his arms around his saviours next clinging like a limpet. The cafeteria was utterly
silent, all eyes were watching the two boys standing at the bottom of the stairs. Suddenly a utensil hit the
floor with a resounding clang, which in turn seemed to be the signal for chatter to start up again.
Ignoring the furtive glances cast his way Heero maintained his hold on Duo as he made his way to the
table he shared with Quatre and Trowa. The pair in their usual position with Quarte seated squarely in
Trowa's lap, were astounded. They had defiantly missed something. Seating him self gently in his chair
Heero settled a wide eyed blushing Duo gently in his lap. "Ummm.... Heero?" Quatre was looking at a
smug Heero in bewilderment. Smiling Heero introduced Duo to the pair proudly, Duo shook the hand
proffered by Quatre and nodded in acknowledgment to Trowa.
Introductions aside, Quarte took instantly to the shy braided brunette. Chatting about school and the
latest gossip the two boys seemed to genuinely like each other. Still holding Duo Heero tightened his
grip around the boys waist as he saw Relena saunter over. Reaching the table she immediately set into
Heero, " Hullo darling..." she whispered, "So what time are you coming to get me Friday?" leaning over
in order to give Heero a nice view of her chest. Growling Heero held Duo fast as the slim boy tried to
leave the safe haven of his lap. "Relena I won't be comming to get you", turning to look at Duo he
smiled softly, "I'm already going with Duo". Smiling Heero turned to look at Relena who had turned an
unattractive shade of purplish red; she looked ready to explode. Turning on her heels she stalked away.
Laughing Heero hugged Duo tenderly, "Arigatou Duo!" at the blank expression of his sweethearts face
made Heero realized he'd fallen back to his native tounge, "Thank you Duo". Grinning slightly Duo
whispered quietly, "No problem..." snuggling closer Duo layed his head on Heero's shoulder. Maybe
he had a chance yet...
