A/N: Hey, minna! Back again after a truly horrible Xmas. Sorry about the long wait but I wasn't really in the spirit. And when I was, my damned computer died. *explecit cursing ensues* Anyway, this is the next chapter. I hope its exciting enough. I know the cliffhanger gave that sort of idea.
Chapter Seven: The Whole Sordid Tale
"HEERO YUY!" Duo yelled into the house. Heero lept up, confused. Duo sounded angry. And yet...he couldn't quite place whatever was in his voice.
"Hai?" Heero said tentatively, moving toward Duo's voice.
"Can you please come out here?" Duo asked tightly. Now Heero was sure something was wrong. Duo sounded so very different than he had a few minutes ago.
Passing into the hall, Heero descended the stairs and headed for the main entrance. He could see the open door, Duo's long braid peeking around it, with a bit of Saotoshi's purple tresses mixed in. Heero approached the door.
"Did you need something?" he said softly. Duo spun around.
"No," Duo said softly, almost angrily. "But he does." Heero was confused by Duo's words, until he moved aside. Right on Duo Maxwell's doorstep stood someone he'd thought never to see again. Quatre.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duo looked on in agitation as his brown-haired angel stared at the innocent-looking boy on the doorstep. Duo moved back, into the house, and beckoned the newcomer forward. "Whatever this is about, I think it would be better if we discussed it inside. My neighbors aren't exactly the most quiet people," Duo said pointedly.
Saotoshi moved into the house, and quickly selected a room. The study was out, for obvious reasons, so she led the small group to the den. She risked a glance back at Heero. He looked like he was scared and in shock at the same time. 'Poor kid.'
The little group entered the den. A long couch sat in the middle before a fireplace, and was surrounded by a few comfortable-looking chairs. The room was much like the study, book shelves lining each wall. It was extra cozy, almost obscenely so in the current situation.
"Please, sit down," Saotoshi said, playing the hostess. She knew that in Duo's current state, he wouldn't be any good until the whole sordid tale came out. As Duo sat in an arm chair, Heero sat on the couch and Quatre sat beside him. Duo's mouth tightened. Not a good sign.
Heero looked uncomfortable. It was painfully obvious he wanted to move, but also didn't want to be rude to the new guest, no matter who they were.
"Well, how about this nice young man goes first, hm?" Duo said, his drippingly polite voice bordering on sarcasm. "Start by telling me who the hell you are, and we'll go form there." At Duo's cursing, Heero looked more than a little frightened. Duo immediately regretted his surliness.
Quatre sat up straighter. "Well, as I've already told this wonderful woman, my name is Quatre Raberba Winner," the blonde said. 'Boy, is he laying on the charm' Sao thought. "I came in search of my boyfriend, Heero Yuy." He smiled at the figiting Heero. "And it seems I"ve found him."
"It does, doesn't it," Duo said. He straightened from his slumped position on the armchair. "Heero, I'm sure you MUST have a thing or two to add to this conversation." Heero looked up.
'He's not calling me Hee-chan anymore. Damn you to hell Quatre Winner!' "Uh, I'm ...confused. I wasn't lying to you when I said I USED to have a boyfriend named Quatre." Heero built up his courage, trying to show Quatre he couldn't be pushed around. "I left him one and a half years ago, and haven't seen him since."
"Since today, you mean," Duo said. Heero flinched, yet somehow Duo couldn't bring himself to care. He knew how he was acting, feeling, was irrational, but he couldn't help himself. He honestly thought he already loved Heero.
"Uh, I guess you could say that." Suddenly realizing the emotional tormoil Quatre's improptu visit was causing, Heero said something entirely out of character, but something he felt needed to be said. "Why aren't you on L3 screwing Trowa?" The sheer bluntness of Heero's quiet question made even the openminded Saotoshi stare.
Quatre sputtered for a few minutes. "Sc-SCREWING TROWA?! How can you say that? Heero, I admit I did something wrong, but it was only on-."
"Don't lie to me, Quatre. Do you think I'm stupid? I admit, sometimes I was blindly trusting. Almost embarassingly so. But I SAW you. I SAW YOU! More than ONCE! So don't give me that self righteous shit and expect me to believe it." Heero was really angry now, and was blind to the astonished stares he was getting. Or so they thought. Heero turned to Duo.
"Do you think I was always this shy, this withdrawn?" he asked his new lover. Heero then turned to Saotoshi. "Do you honestly believe that I ALWAYS blushed at EVERYTHING?" Now his smoldering gaze landed back on Quatre. "It's your fault. If you hadn't cheated on me, WITH TROWA BARTEN of all people, we would be together right now." Heero looked down at the floor and spoke quietly. "Even now I could forgive you, if you said the right words, did the right things. TRICKED ME into believing you loved me."
"But Heero-" Quatre began.
"What happened, Quatre? Why are you here? Did he leave you? Is that it? Did Trowa drop you like a rock, forcing you to come back to what you yourself had dropped?" Heero asked. "If that's what happened, I feel sorry for you. Not sympathetic. Not understanding. SORRY. I firmly believe you brought this on yourself. Gomen nasai, Quatre-sama, but I won't be a replacement for a him." Heero stood and turned to Duo. He smiled tenderly, sadly. "I'm sorry, Duo. I can't stay. I...I have to go!" The emotional stress finally cracked him, and as Heero left the room, Duo could see tears in his eyes.
