School and Happy Birthday!
It was nearing a new school year. And Engel wanted to go, Duo didn't plan or want to send Engel, since he had a rough time in school. "I want to go! I want to have friends!" Engel whined, this had been going on for a few days now. Duo didn't know what to do. He wanted Engel to be happy, but would he really be happy in school?
Duo gave in and soon they took Engel school shopping, his first time. "I want this!!" He was so excited about it, Duo nodded as Engel tossed in a bookbag into the shopping cart. Trowa held some differently colored pencils, "You'll need more of these." Duo didn't talk much while they were shopping, he didn't want to send his son to be verbally abused by other kids.
They got home and just an hour before dinner Trowa and Wufei sat with a large paper pad with numbers and words scribbled on it. "Let's review.." Engel sat in between and watched and listened to each one carefully. They had their dinner and afterwards, Engel took a bath given by Duo and was off to bed.
The morning, Duo woke uo Engel at seven o'clock, to get ready for the interview at school. Engel rushed through breakfast and getting dressed. Duo and Heero got in the car and buckled, Engel in and soon were on their way.
The principal was a middle aged woman, with fading red hair as she was checking records on Engel. "This child has never went to school? A bit late isn't he?"
"Yes, we've been teaching him, but he wants to go here now."
"I highly doubt this child's efforts.. He's behind in learning, and he'll have to go to the first grade."
"What?! How can you say that when you don't even know what he's capable of!"
Duo shouted at her, as the woman grabbed some papers and handed them to Engel. "Do this test and show me how good you are."
Engel carefully read the first sheet and started to write. Then he went on to the second, then third and finnally, the fourth sheet. He handed it back to the woman as she reviewed it with surprise.
Fill in the missing word, Addition, Subtraction, Correct Misspelled words, name the object, Write down the colors, write the Alphabet, all this in four sheets, Engel done so correctly.
"I see...... That I was wrong..." She handed the papers to Duo to read, while Heero leaned over to get a closer look. Duo smiled and hugged his son and placed a kiss on his cheek. "Good boy!" The woman looked at the rest of Engel's paper work, "The child has no mother?"
Duo and Heero froze, Engel looked up at them with confusion, "She... passed on...." Duo smiled at his son. 'My.. mother?' Engel never thought much about his own mother before, but what happened to her? And where did she go? Before his mind could dig up more questions, the principal broke his thoughts.
"It seems he knows the basics.. I'll put him in the third grade."
"Thank you."
Duo got up, his braid swaying as Engel smiled, he said thank you and ran to Heero. Luckily Engel forgot of his mother and he told the other three pilots about his day. They were all so proud of him, just as Duo began to think that maybe sending him to school wasn't so bad after all.
"Happy birthday to you.. Happy birthday our dear, Engel.. Happy birthday to you!"
Engel blew out his ice cream cake as everyone cheered. Engel was no eight years old, on September fifth, this was the day, Duo had found him but now his mind was in the present not in the past. But sometimes he can remember the woman's face and the sound of her screams, pleading for a sign that her child will be all right.
And her jade eyes held the same look of happiness just as Engel's did. "This is from Wufei, and I." Trowa handed a gift to the birthday boy, who had on a very large birthday hat. Engel quickly tore off the colorful wrappings and saw a remote controlled vechical. "Thank you!"
Red, was his favorite color, Quatre had given him a toy model rocket ship, and Heero gave him a toy gun and a blue dragon with a green tongue.
"Heero? Where on Earth, did you get a toy gun?"
Wufei asked but all his reply was Heero's smirk. Duo smiled as he handed Engel his present. He unwrapped it to reveal a comic book of space monsters and something close to a Lego Block space station. "Thank you, daddy."
"Come here!"
Duo grabbed the boy and gave him countless of kisses. Engel did grow taller his hair almost looked like Heero's but he was growing a small ponytail in the back. He brushed his bangs out from his eyes and soon took his first bite from the cake.
The school playground was flooded with children standing in line. Duo stood next to Engel and knelt down, "Remember, Engel, only I, Heero, and the others will come and get you. Don't go to anybody else, they will take you away from me. Be a good boy and remember all that we've taught you."
Duo hugged him just as the bell rang and the kids were marching inside, "I love you." The boy smiled as Duo replied, "I love you too." Duo let go and watched Engel go inside the building.
That afternoon, Duo had his head stuck under the hood of the car. All sorts of clicks and odd noises came as he tried fixing it. "Come on, damnit." Then something made a loud crack, "OWWWW, SHIT!!!! YOU PIECE OF FILTH!!!"
He shouted to the car and continued working on it, "Bastard.." He heard someone clearing their throat. Duo came out and closed the hood of the car, he looked at the owner who was a blonde woman. Duo's hands and face were dirty, "It's all fixed." Duo took out a red handkerchief and wiped his brow.
"Not everything."
Duo looked at her, "What?" She started to removed her bathrobe, reveiling her slender naked body. "What's this all about.....?" She smirked, "Come here.." She whispered in a seductive tone, no one else was witnessing this since only her and Duo were in the back yard.
Duo looked around all sides before he started walking towards her. She was inside the doorway but she moved to let Duo enter. She grabbed him by his hand and led him up stairs to her bedroom. "How do you like it?" She asked laying on her bed, "Kinky..." Duo grinned as he removed his dirty rag and tied her left wrist to the bed post.
He walked away and started looking for her purse. "Hey! What's going on?"
"I want my money for fixing the car!"
He shouted as he brought her purse towards her. He started counting the money in front of her, "Three hundred. Well, seems like the price I charge to sleep with you can't afford."
Duo placed the phone in her reach as he walked out, laughing. "COME BACK!!!! COME BACK, YOU SON OF A BITCH!! BASTARD! COME BACK! ARHG!!!!" She struggled and broke free, but by the time she came downstairs, Duo was no longer in sight.
"Weirdo women.."
Duo stopped by an office building and walked inside. He went to the front desk to page Heero."Send him up.." Heero replied as Duo smiled and went to Heero's office. "Duo, your hands are dirty."
"Aren't they always?" He grinned, "Come on, we gotta pick up Engel from his first day of school!" Heero nodded as he stood to put folders away, Duo grabbed Heero's behind before running out of his office.
"Linda, i'm leaving early today." Heero told the girl at the front desk before walking out, she noriced a hand mark on his pants but didn't say anything. He got inside the truck with Duo and they drove off to the school.
Engel stood wearing his father's old black hat, waiting. He felt sad and began to wonder if they would ever show. He saw Heero heading towards him, Engel smiled, "Heero!!" He hugged him tightly while Duo stood at the gate of the school yard. Heero picked him up and brought him to Duo. They kissed as they walked off, some of the children notice Duo's long well kept braid.
All evening Engel talked about school. He felt happy that he made some new friends, the others helped him with his homework, while it was Trowa's turn to cook dinner. Baked Ziti, one of Engel's favorites. And soon Engel was tucked into bed and fell fast asleep.
The next day at school Engel stood with some boys from his class. They saw Heero across the street waiting to cross when one of the boys asked, "Is that your dad?"
"No. That one there is my dad." He smiled before the other boys laughed, "That isn't your dad!" They pointed at Duo, "That's your mother!!!" The laughed harder, as Engel grew angry. "He is not! He's my father!"
"No! That's your mother! Only mom's have long hair like that!"
Engel looked back and saw Duo and Heero crossing the street, he turned back to the boys who kept laughing and making rude jokes about Duo. "He's your mom dressed in your father's clothes!"
"He smells and he's always dirty!"
"He fixes cars!"
The three boys kept laughing still as Engel felt sad and angry. "Your dad is stupid for trying to grow his hair like a girl!" Engel took off his bookbag and clenched his fists. He charged at the boy in the middle, he punched him dead center on his chin. And Engel fell foward on his hands, and spread his legs open, sending each of his feet into the other two boys. Engel pushed himself up and did one back flip, he saw the other boys cry and scream.
"ENGEL!!!!"
He turned and saw Duo look very shocked and angry. "But they.." Engel felt as if he was going to cry, "Heero, take him back to the truck...." Duo glared for a moment before he walked to the crying boys. Heero took Engel by the hand gently, and picked up his bookbag and walked to the pick-up truck.
Heero sat on the passenger side, and Engel in the middle when the boy finally broke down and cried. He watched Duo talk to each of the boy's mothers and he made his way back to the truck, Engel tried holding back his tears. Duo got in the driver's seat and didn't say a word.
Heero spoke in Japanese only Engel understood. Engel replied back in Japanese, "I'm sorry. Are you going to punish me?"
"Don't ask me, ask your father."
Duo had no idea what they were saying but it made Engel quiet again. They got home and Duo went into the kitchen, while Engel went on his bed and finished his cry. Engel fell asleep but what awoke him was the sounds of Duo's footsteps coming up the stairs.
Engel turned to look when his door opened. Duo closed it and walked next to his son. "What happened?" Duo was very serious, but also his voice held a calm tone. "They were making fun of you..."
"How? They don't even know me."
"They said you were my mom... They said you were a girl because of your braid...... And it made me mad..."
Duo placed his hand on Engel's shoulder, the child looked up at Duo. "Is what they said true?"
"No.."
"Then why cry over it? You know the truth in your heart. You know I love you, but using what we've taught you in Self Defense won't make all of your problems go away. They will only get worse and bigger if all you do is beat up people. You just have to learn to ignore them, I did. And Self Defense is only used when you're in danger or being threatened."
Duo smiled softly and hugged him close. "Just ignore them.." Engel smiled a little bit, "Daddy?"
"Yes?"
"Who taught you how to braid?"
Duo blinked before smiling again, "A very nice lady.."
-End, but not over.
Spazmastic: Engel was raised by 5 Gundam pilots, so of course he can kick some ass! LOL.
