Ice: Ok, so far, so good! Blazer has even decided to help me for this chapter! What a good muse.
Blazer: You tied me up and dangled me over a pool of lava! What choice did I have!
Ice: *chuckles* Yes well. Ok, once again (I hate having to write this over and over!) I do not own Gundam Wing, this is a 2x1, some 3x4 story, yaoi, some swearing, blah blah.
Blazer: We would also like to give a big thank you to Virginie! She was very nice to e-mail us since she couldn't leave a review and has really made it so we want to update! Thanks so much for the encouragement!!
Ice: Oh, and yeah it may seem like this chapter is more of it with Heero in control, but it's not really. Duo will mostly keep control of everything-
Blazer: Hush! Or you'll give everything away!!!
As Duo and Heero walked out of the dorm, the violet-eyed man still dizzy on his feet, they both met up with a lot of other people, all going to their respective classes. Heero noticed at once that Duo was slightly tense and looking around nervously, which he perfectly understood. It was the same for most knew students who had never been on a campus before.
"So, your into art, Duo? That just doesn't seem like you, though don't take it personally. I barley know you."
"Wha?" Duo ask, looking at Heero, catching his gaze in those cobalt blue orbs accidentally. "Uh… yeah. I've always enjoyed it."
"You have any of your work with you?"
Duo nodded and lightly took his sketch pad from his bag, handing it to Heero and let him look through it, which he did slowly as they walked. He was wondering what the older boy thought of some of his works, but didn't ask until the sketch pad was given back to him and Heero spoke first.
"Your really good. If you stick with it, you'll have a good thing going for you."
"Thank you," the younger replied, then smiled a little bit. "Hey, maybe, if you don't mind, I could draw you?"
"What?"
"Well, I like to draw pictures of all my friends, and… we're friends, right?"
Heero shrugged a little bit and nodded. "Yeah. I think we're friends."
"Good. You seem like you're a good person, and I'm glad we can be friends," Duo said lightly, smiling at his new found friend.
"You have a nice smile. You'll get along good here, with other people."
After that, nothing more was said until Heero lead Duo to a building and in, then to a classroom. He explained that it was the art room, and that after the first class there would be breakfast, and that if Duo would care to wait for him, he would return to pick him up and take him to where the cafeteria was, since his class was only right down the hall. Duo, being who he was and since he seemingly wanted to stay near Heero at all hours of the day, eagerly agreed. Once the conversation had ended though, Heero left, and Duo prepared for his first day of college.
~oo00@00oo~
By the time class was over, Duo was nearly asleep. He should have figured that the first day of class would be about getting to know the teacher, and doing easy things. However, the easy things that they had had to do gave Duo a slight chance to show off his skills, which got the attention of his teacher, Mrs. Tekasca. He soon found out that he was actually probably best in the class, his skills so fine-tuned and practiced that he would defiantly do well.
"Duo Maxwell?"
The young man looked up from where he was quickly putting his stuff away, to the teacher's desk. "Yeah?"
"Where did you learn to draw like you do?"
Duo shrugged. "I taught myself. Lots of practice, took a lot of classes for it, both in and out of high school."
"Your talents are amazing from what I've seen, and that wasn't much. I hope you don't let me down when I start giving real projects."
Duo said a soft 'thank you' then left the room. Most of the other people had already left, and there were very few people that were in the halls. Heero was no where in sight however.
"Oh great, where is he," he said softly to himself, watching the hall way for 'his' angel to appear. "He said he'd come so I guess I'll wait…"
And wait is what Duo decided we would do. However, he was waiting for fifteen minutes before he heard foot steps in the hall to his right. When he looked Heero was running toward him.
"Gomen, gomen. Forgive me Duo," Heero said softly, sliding to a stop right before he got to Duo. "I let time slip me by. Normally I just skip breakfast."
"It's cool, don't worry. What were you doing though? What class are you in?"
"I was in shop. Now come on, you wont have long to eat," Heero said and without thinking he took Duo's hand and pulled him along in another run. The braided man just blanked at that moment as a strange feeling hit his body, his chest felt heavy as if his heart was going to burst, and all he could do was go along with Heero. He didn't understand it at all. What was wrong with him? What was he feeling? Why did it feel so right with Heero? So many questions and yet he didn't have an answer for any of them.
~oo00@00oo~
It took about three minutes for Duo and Heero to reach the building, which was the food court, but when they did, Duo found himself to be in heaven. The smell of food was rather good, and he was hungry.
"God, things never smelled this good at high school," he commented softly as Heero dragged him over to where they could get him some food for him. "Wow! They actually have a choice of things to eat!"
Heero couldn't help it. He laughed. It wasn't loud, or long, but it was a true laugh. Duo really amused him, and he hardly even knew the boy. "Yes. Now, order. Like I said, you wont have long."
Duo nodded and just ordered some pancakes and eggs, then waited for what seemed like forever to him, since most of the time his stomach ruled over his concept of time, but finally he got what he ordered for and he and Heero went to look for a place to sit, only Heero hadn't gotten anything.
"Aren't you hungry?" Duo ask, licking his lips a little as he looked at his tray.
"I never eat breakfast. Aren't those your friends? I'm pretty sure I know the blond one by now."
Duo perked up and looked around till his gaze fell onto Trowa and Quatre, sitting over at a corner table by them selves. Instantly Duo walked over and sat down, Heero however, didn't follow. Instead, the older man went off to another table where Wufei sat with about four others.
"Hey guys! Tro, you decided to get up!"
Trowa cast a rather cold glare at Duo, and if looks could kill, the braided man would be dead instantly. Apparently, Trowa was in no mood for Duo's hyper ness.
"How was your class?" Quatre ask quickly, before Duo, being the smart elicit he was could make a stupid comment to Trowa.
"It was good. How about yours?"
Quatre shrugged. "Boring. Nothing was done at all. However, I was still given work to do, which I don't mind too much. However, I love the lay out of the campus, and it's so much better the high school."
Duo nodded a little bit, digging into his breakfast like a wild cat to its meat. "Ow… you wo…find ay to… class?"
Quatre sighed and shook his head slightly. Even though Duo was speaking with his mouth as full as a chipmunk's, he understood him to a point. "Wufei was able to help us find our class. How was your morning with Heero?"
The blond chuckled as he saw the familiar soft blush that had come to be linked to Heero's name spread lightly over Duo's cheeks.
"It was good. We talked, he's helping me find my classes," Duo muttered, then he suddenly became very interested with his food, not looking up or anything. However, even though he was slightly embarrassed, he had no reason to be. Quatre was kind enough to keep the conversation quiet and also Trowa was literally clueless.
"Quatre…"
"Yeah Trowa?" Quatre ask. That was the first word Trowa had said since he had gotten him to wake up. "What?"
"Time. Class. Go," Trowa whispered, his words getting a strange look from Duo.
"What did he say?"
Quatre smiled. "Time is almost over and we need to get going to our next class."
"Thank you. Always nice to have you around to translate him when he gets like that."
And with that Duo basically shoved the rest of his food down his throat, then got up with Quatre and Trowa to take their trays back. It was rather funny when a hand that was laid on Duo's shoulder quite suddenly made him jump.
"Who the… oh, hey Heero."
"You're the most jumpy person I've ever met. Listen. I can't help you to your next class. We're both going to opposite sides of the campus. In fact, I wont be able to meet up with you again till we're back at the dorm. See ya."
Duo was about to protest but some other people met up with Heero as he walked away, and he felt a soft prick in his mind or something. It felt strange, like a sadness, but he was in too much of a hurry to think about it more then a split second. He had to find someone to help him find his next class or else he was screwed!
Ice: Wow, another one done already. I'm surprised. Normally I don't write this often this fast. Guess the thrill of my first posted story and so many requests to finish and update often is really pushing me forward.
Blazer: Yeah, so peeps, if you ever want her to update, just give her sugar and reviews. It will get done!
Ice: Whatever, though truly I do appreciate the reviews I'm getting, so thank you all so much again. Oh, and sorry if not much happened in this chapter. I'm trying to get Duo and Heero closer together, so I needed a chapter where they could just kinda bond. Oh, and have any of you ever thought of the morning after the night Trowa got drunk, heh heh. Poor Tro-Kun.
