S.girl: HAHA! I did it! Another chapter! But I don't really like this
one.which is too bad.
C.Kitsune: Why the heck do you post chapters you don't like?
S.Girl: Cuz I like it.
C.Kitsune: . *sigh*
S.girl: But really, I have to post this one, unless I want to make chapter four even longer, you know, which would be stupid.
C.Kitsune: If you don't post this one, there won't be a chapter four. Florida's messing up your math, lady.
S.Girl: WAH! IT IS NOT!
C.Kitsune: It most certainly is!
S.Girl: Nevermind. I am going to give thanks to one more person this time, and that's Katalina. Thanks for reviewing, and I'm glad you like the story!!!
C.Kitsune: *sigh* Ignore her, Katalina. She's dull.
S.Girl: HEY! That's a good thing.
C.Kitsune: Being dull?
S.Girl: No, thanking people.
C.Kitsune: Whatever.
S.Girl: Pfft. I'm ignoring you! I'm going to write my disclaimers!
Disclaimers: Blah blah blah. THEY DON'T BELONG TO ME!!! HEERO AND DUO AND EVERYONE ELSE FROM THE GUNDAM WING CAST DOESN'T BELONG TO ME!!! LEAVE ME ALONE, STUPID POLICE PEOPLEZ!
C.Kitsune: Great disclaimer.
S.Girl: I know.
*** Operation Adoption ***
Chapter 2: The Adoption Takes Place
Heero looked at the boy in surprise. This was Selenia Maxwell's son? This boy who looks so very much like a girl with his super long braid and childishly naïve eyes? He just couldn't believe it!
"Don't lie about things like this!" Heero said tightly. "You could get trouble."
Duo looked up from his shoes in revelation. True, he didn't look that much like his mother, but it was undeniable that he his way of conduct resembled hers very much, and never before had he been doubted his identity. It was incredibly offending.
"Why would I lie?" he asked. "Besides, even if I did, why would I get in trouble? Not like the FBI will be after me just 'cuz I said I was Ms. Maxwell's son!"
Heero glared at him. He wondered if the annoying boy could ever be intelligent enough to grasp his mother's delicate position in society.
"You be in trouble if you her son!" he muttered.
"Eh? And why is that? I'll be arrested because I'm her son? I don't know about where you come from, but here in America, that just isn't done!"
"In Japan, your father spank you for impudence."
Duo grinned. How interesting. Here was Japanese boy in an American orphanage who was extremely well-dressed, who was horrible at English, who has next to none manners, and who hints that being related to his mother would get him in big trouble. How very interesting! (He's thinking: "How very much better than dealing with a fan girl! For example, S.girl!")
"Say, you don't actually stay here, do you?" Duo asked.
Heero immediately stiffened.
"Why you say that? I do," Heero retorted.
Duo chuckled.
"Well, you certainly don't seem to be one of the normal residents."
"Hmph. I come last week. I new."
"Oh. Well, that explains it. So, you are here to be stay?"
Heero shrugged. No, he was not here to stay. He was here so the little boy's mother, if Selenia Maxwell was indeed his mother, can adopt him. But one couldn't say that to him, now can one?
"I stay, I go, I do whatever. It not your business."
"Well, then. I suppose not."
Duo patted his braid nonchalantly. He wondered what this strange boy's business really was.
"Oh, that's right! You haven't introduced yourself yet. Have you changed your mind about not doing it?"
Heero sighed. Somehow, he had had the feeling that this would be brought up again. The truth was, no, he did not want to change his mind, and he did not want to introduce himself. What was the point? He wanted to charm the mother, not the son. But if it's the son here to report to his mother, he supposed he would have to try his best to charm both. (He had no idea that he probably won't succeed at charming either with his mannerism.)
"My name is Hee.Hiroki.Yume.I seventeen." Heero shut his eyes briefly. He didn't know why he had said that. Yume was not the thing that suits him well. He didn't have dreams, and if he did, he didn't care to acknowledge them. They weren't important to him.
"Ahh, Hee-row-kee.I've never heard such a name before. But see, I've never been in Japan either. My mother has though. She goes there every two weeks to buy fish. She says the fish there is much better than the fish in America. I don't see why though. The fish is extremely expensive, as well as the trip, and every time she comes back, she only comes with one fish. If she goes there, she might as well buy us a couple, but, no. Not my mother. Only one. It was all gray and lumpy from being smashed between layers of clothes. The next day, the clothes smelt horrible too. They were my clothes. Do normal mothers go to Japan to buy you fish and clothes, and then put the fish in your clothes? No! Just mine!"
Heero had the strangest urge to sigh. He really wished Duo would just shut up. He didn't care about fish!
"So, what does your mother do that's weird?" He looked up from his hands. No one has ever asked him that. No one. His mellow azure eyes turned to an icy shade of gray.
"What it to you? You talk. I no talk." Duo made a face. He was slightly disappointed with himself. He had thought that he could get the rude, strange boy to talk, but not only did his question not get him to talk, he also made things worse.
Heero, meanwhile, completely ignored Duo's apologies for his question. He, for other reasons, was also disappointed with himself. He thought he had finally gotten over his weakness concerning his mother, but it seems he has not. He could still feel a small ache in his heart. He wished he could just forget.
"Look, how about I make up for that," Duo said, desperate to make things better.
He grabbed Heero's hand and pulled him up.
"Come with me!"
And with that, he dragged Heero behind him and led him to a small, cozy, office. Heero was most surprised with his strength. Not many people were able to drag him.certainly not little boys who chattered like girls.
While Heero marveled at Duo's strength, Duo marveled at the good condition of the office. It was truly annoying to see the other parts of the orphanage where the children stayed in such sad conditions, but the office where the principal worked so luxurious. What was this principal thinking about?
Deeply upset, he led Heero to a sofa and indicated for him to sit down. A few moments passed, and a graying old man came into the room.
Although this man seemed wrinkled and decaying, he had a jolly big stomach and clean, good-quality clothes. Extremely unlike the children of the orphanage.
"Bring over the papers, won't you, Granppy?" Duo asked.
The old man made an indignant face at being called that, but he nodded and grabbed a sheet of paper off his desk. He frowned deeply at Heero, but smiled politely to Duo.
"Well, then, you chose this one, eh?" the old man remarks. Duo nodded with a grin. He handed a pen to Heero and told him to sign on the line. What did he take Heero for? An idiot?
"What is this?" Heero asked.
It better not be weird papers that says he has to be this idiot's bodyguard. He knew they were paid nicely, but that didn't go well with him. But, considering the boy, it'd probably be more likely the papers bound him to a contract that says he has to remind the boy to go to the bathroom every hour incase he forgets. However, to his surprise, the boy said:
"Oh.adoption papers."
Heero's eyes widened slightly. He couldn't believe he got in so easily. In fact, he didn't.
"Why I sign? I no want get adopted by you. I don't know who your mother is still."
"I already said! It's Selenia Maxwell! Look, just sign, okay? It's not likely you'll be adopted any time soon by anyone else with your way of treating people. Mom's coming back tonight, and I want you to meet her. It's a good choice, it really is. We're rich, and we promise you won't starve or anything. Mom will even buy you Japanese fish! And I swear I'll have her not stick the fish between your clothes. Besides which, we'll perfect your English a bit."
Heero gave him a glare. And here he thought he was charming and nice, and that his English was quite perfect. (Fat chance. Heero charming and nice?)
"Very well."
The good thing was, he achieved his goal without too much trouble. (Only a good deal of annoyance.) Hopefully, the boy's mother was indeed Selenia Maxwell, and he was not lying. If he was, Heero would be in big trouble. He might even have to ask the government to get him out of the deal With these contradicting thoughts in his mind, he signed the paper and officially became Hiroki Maxwell.
