Chapter 2: The Party

~*~

Once Relena and Heero got to the party, Heero was dragged into the house.

"I told you I don't want to be-......... here," he said slowly as he whipped around only to see Duo walking into the house over her shoulder.

He stopped struggling and walked to the back of the main room and leaned against the wall.

As Duo walked in, noticing all the people, he searched the room. He frowned.

'I knew it... he's not here,' he thought to himself.

Duo slunk off to the back of the main room and leaned against the wall. However, he didn't realize who he was standing next to. Quickly glancing to the side then facing forward, his eyes widened. Heero did the same, only butterflies did loops in his stomach.

Duo sighed.

'Heero... I have something I need to tell you... oh! But I can't!' he argued in his mind, 'I *want* to tell you but I know I can't.'

"hey Duo, I didn't know that you were here..." Heero said casually.

"Me? What about you? I thought that you were going to be confined to your room with the new missions that we got last week.?" Duo chuckled knowing all to well how he preferred to be working than being around people.

"you'd think that wouldn't you... actually, Relena dragged me here..." Heero chuckled back as they both turned to face each other, smiling.

After a few hours of staying at the party Heero and Duo were sitting on a couch talking about relatively normal things.

Heero smiled, "it's getting a bit late for me. I think I'm gonna go back home and work some more."

"Yeah, me too. I have some school work I need to catch up on..." he chuckled and slightly blushed, "uhm, Heero? I got a question..."

"hm?"

"you understand everything in Biology right? Well I was wondering if we could get together some time and work on it... I'm not doing that well with it," he asked shyly.

"sure. What about tomorrow?"

"yeah. Tomorrow's good."

They both smiled at each other and walked down the steps. When they reached the end they bid each other good-bye and took their separate routs home: Duo, by car, Heero, on foot.
