The war is over and there are many things we must learn about the world. Getting used to the normal way of life has proved difficult for all of us. Quatre being the exception. His life had always been the most normal one. The end of the war didn't affect the way he lives. He still has his sisters and his houses. For us things cannot be so simple. Wufei still hasn't chosen a permanent place to settle and probably won't for some time. Trowa quit the circus and is living with Quatre. Then of course, there's Heero. Let's face it. The guy barely has a human bone in his body. He can barely stand being in a room full of people and carry on a simple conversation. Then there's me, the Beautiful Duo Maxwell.
Just my luck, I get to be roommates with Heero 'Jerk of the Century' Yuy. Don't look surprised, someone has to teach him to act human. Who better to learn from than me? It's a lot of work. It's hard to tell if the guy understands anything. You ask him a question an his only reply is "Hn." All he's interested in is typing away mercilessly at his computer.
It's like hello is anyone home? And you know there isn't. There's just Heero. That's all there is to say. What should I expect, to find that he actually knows anything about real people instead of what little he knows from being around that doctor. If you ask me, he's in serious need of a psychiatrist. But that's just my opinion. Really, it's not okay to let him think he can be as he is instead of saying 'Heero you need to learn some people skills.' I'm surprises the guy can even work. (Yes, he has to work. Rent doesn't just magically appear.) I told him if he lost his job, he'd end up living on the street. Believe you me, I know all about that. Now that brings me to memories of my childhood....
"Duo!" I looked back to see Sister Helen gazing down at me and frowning. I hate it when she does that. "Duo, how many times have I asked you not to do that? And don't say I haven't. We had this talk yesterday, remember? Now come on, dinner is waiting."
We ate almost in silence that night. I just knew there was something wrong. And I knew I was right. I was gonna be placed in another foster home. Didn't people see that puttin' me in foster homes was pointless? Me and foster parents didn't get along. I had been to five in under six months time. Most people return me within the first three days. (Mostly because I started getting angry and throwin' fits. I got tired of people sayin' 'poor baby' and 'I'm sorry your life has been like this.' It makes me sick.) Now I'm gonna be sent to another couple who 'really loves kids.' Yeah sure, more like they love the check they'll get each month for takin' care of me. But of course, I don't plan on being there long. ********************************
I keep listenin' to him say 'Heero this'and 'Heero that' and 'Heero you need to learn more about people.' Can't he see that I know all I want to know about people? Why can't Duo just leave me alone? It's really starting to bother me and I know just the thing to shut him up.
Author's Rambling: I plan to continue this. (Not guaranteed to be soon.) So much stuff to write. Must finish something else now. Then I'll get back to Duo and Heero. (Of course in the next chapter I have to write about Quatre, Trowa, Wufei, and anyone else in my head.) Please Review. If ya don't I won't cry. (Crosses fingers.)
