Chapter 7.
Duo sat on Heero's bed, numbly staring at a blank spot on the ceiling. Heero sighed as he watched the violet eyes trace invisible patterns along the plain, white plaster,
"Duo?" He called softly, only to receive no answer, "Duo, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Lie." Heero stated, folding his arms stubbornly, "You're upset that Paige didn't feel that she could tell you something!"
"Well if you knew then why did you bloody well bother asking?!" Duo snapped,
"Duo . . . you can't blame a 15 year old girl from being ashamed to tell her father about kissing someone!"
"But . . . but . . . it's Paige! She tells me everything!"
Heero raised an eyebrow,
"Duo, you can't expect an adolescent to willingly tell you everything. Personally, I think that she's very mature, considering."
"Considering what?"
"Considering that YOU'RE her father!"
"Ouch man, ouch!"
Heero broke into a sly smirk,
"Duo, what I'm saying is that you were just as stubborn when you were that age. I really don't see a problem here!"
Duo sighed heavily,
"Ugh . . . Heero, I guess that you're better cut out for fatherhood than I am!" Duo huffed, closing his eyes,
"Don't you say that!" Heero scolded, grabbing Duo by the shoulders, leaning over him, shaking him ever so gently, "That's not fair! You've done a GREAT job raising her!"
Duo opened his eyes in a flash and glowered at his Japanese lover for several minutes,
"Why did she hide it from me, man?" He sighed, rolling over, away from Heero's grip,
"I don't know." Heero shrugged, "Ask her."
"No!"
"Duo . . . stop being so stubborn!"
"I'm not bein' stubborn!" The braided bishounen replied.
Heero raised an eyebrow and stood up, walking across the room,
"Coming down for a walk?" He asked,
"Hell yeah!" Duo yelled as he charged across the room towards the taller man, a lop sided grin on his lips,
"Duo, it really doesn't take much to make you happy, huh?"
"What? A walk around the beautiful grounds with my beautiful lover on a beautiful day . . . what more can I ask for . . .?"
Heero raised an eyebrow,
"Duo . . . just stop, ok?" Heero sighed, shaking his head slowly, "You're acting strange again, but, then again, when do you not?"
Duo scowled but only folded his arms in a stubborn response.
Meanwhile, Paige sat on the edge of her bed, staring numbly at her hands, she was angry at herself! She lied to her father and he was mad . . . no, not mad . . .hurt,
"I've never seen him like that before." She murmured, biting her lower lip as a tear slid down her cheek, "I'm horrible . . ."
A soft knock came at the door,
"Come in." She called softly.
Yan popped his head around the door, grinning slightly,
"I escaped!" He said triumphantly,
"That's nice . . ." She replied, not even looking up to acknowledge him,
"Something wrong?" He asked, an eyebrow rose,
"Yes."
"What?"
"My dad's upset with me."
"Why?"
"Well, I didn't tell him that we kissed!"
"OH . . . is he the kind of father that doesn't let you have boyfriends?"
"No . . ." Paige frowned, "Dad's never been like that, he's a little over protective, but not THAT bad!"
"Then what's the problem?"
"Well, I didn't tell him, and my dad LOVES to know these things! For years it's only been the two of us, sometimes Hilde as well, but, mostly just us . . . I tell him everything and he's used to it, and now he's finally got a shot at being happy, and for once, selfish, and I didn't want to interrupt it!"
Yan smirked and sat beside her, placing an arm gently around her shoulders,
"Don't worry; he'll get over it in time! Go talk to him!"
Paige looked at Yan for a moment before smirking and nodding,
"Alright! Will do!" She said with a nod, "Thanks." She said before hopping down off of her bed and off towards Duo's room.
She knocked, but got no answer,
"Dad?" She called through the closed door, "Daddy? You in there?"
No answer came and she huffed, catching a glance outside of the window, she caught her father with Heero, casually walking towards the lake,
"Ah ha!" She said before racing down the stairs towards them.
Several hours passed and as the sun set, three figures strolled back into the mandion. In the middle stood Paige, her arms linked with Duo and Heero on either side of her. She giggled happily,
"Y'know, Heero . . . you're not so bad!" She continued, leaning her head against the older man's shoulder, "You're actually pretty cool!" She continued and looked up at her father, winking slightly, "You picked a good man, daddy!"
"Speaking of good men . . . when am I gonna get to have my man to man chat with Yan Wufei? Huh?"
"Daddy! Anyone would think that you're trying to marry me off!"
"HEERO!? Did you tell her!?" Duo teased,
"Oh ha ha!"
"No, Paige, I was serious!" Duo mocked as they walked to the dining room, "Hey everyone!" Duo gushed as the three of them entered,
"You're late!" Wufei snapped,
"Chang!" Sally scolded, "No wonder Yan is growing up so rude!"
"I am not!" Chang protested,
"Hey! Where's Quatre and Trowa?" Duo suddenly asked,
"Ill."
"Oh . . . yeah . . . I get ya!" Duo replied, winking and nudging Heero,
"No, seriously! Quatre's really sick." Sally said,
"Oh . . ."
The meal was ate in the majority of silence, Duo and Yan exchanging looks across the table, not really swaying on either side of good or bad, mostly confused.
As they stood up to leave, Trowa came rushing in,
"Duo, Heero, Wufei!" He exclaimed, "You've got to turn on the TV now! We've got a serious problem on our hands!"
Dun dun dun! Sorry it's taken so long to get this out, I've been super busy! But I hope that I'll get the next chappies out a LOT faster!
