*O.O* Ooooh! Empath-chan actually decided to update! Well isn't that something! XD
Wow… I'd consider it a miracle if there are people still actually reading this ^^;; Déjà vu: again, I say, sorry for the terribly long wait. Been having some problems with my Yami no Matsuei fanfics that I needed to fix, and also loosing confidence in my writing. T.T Oh well…
Sorry, been ranting too much again. Anyway, here's the next chapter!
CHAPTER 3
You know, people always say that you should think before you speak, or you might regret it. I officially declare myself as a living proof of that. I'll thank any kind soul who can explain to me exactly WHY I ever said those things.
~ "I. . . don't want you to go." ~
Any moment, perhaps, just a few more seconds, and I might actually throw this noisy idiot out of my house. As in LITERALLY throw him out. Well, it's eight in the morning and I already lost my temper. Quite record time actually, considering the earliest hour I lost my temper, if I remember it correctly, was 8:15 in the morning just last month. And it was also because of Duo.
He's bouncing around the house, hell knows why. Oh… right. I remember now. It's because I just proclaimed my undying love for him yada yada yada… So silly. Just because I admitted I return his feelings made him this happy. I mean, honestly I thought he'd laugh at me for that. As in me, defending champion of cold attitude actually admitting to someone that I care, now isn't that supposed to be funny? But, oh no, he didn't laugh at me. He just held me close… But I have to admit it felt… nice. Really nice. Right, see me melting like some puddle of gelatin.
I stand up and try to sound as irritated as I can.
"Duo! I'm giving you exactly ten seconds to stop. Or you're OUT!"
He smiles sheepishly.
"Oops… hehe sorry about that, love." He finishes with a mischievous wink.
I feel heat generate in my cheeks as he said that.
See a hundred veins near my eyebrows twitch.
See Duo fly out of my window.
Literally.
Hm, I think I used the wrong word. He didn't FLY out of the window. I THREW him out.
~)-0-(~
After that rather lovely morning, we didn't talk much over breakfast. He's still pouting at me muttering things about how he could actually be dead right now and that I'd be the one to regret if I lost my lover. Baka. Since when did I give him the permission to call me his lover anyway? 'Hee-chan' I can tolerate, but this? No way! Imagine if the other pilots were here! They'd die laughing at me.
That is, if I was able to hold my sanity long enough not to shoot them all before they even began to laugh.
Speaking of the other pilots, I wonder how they are. Not like I care. I'm just curious and that's ALL. No more, no less. Duo's also been babbling about inviting the others to come over. I would've but like I said, I have no idea where they are. And now I'm doomed to spend the rest of the holidays with this baka.
We didn't have too much to do at home (just a better way of saying we had absolutely nothing to do) and were bored to death. So we decided to go out again and take a stroll at the park. The temperature's not as bad as before, but still freezing nonetheless. Despite that however, there are still a lot of people roaming around the park.
"Big brother!! Big brother!"
I recognize that sweet voice.
I turn my head to look at where it's coming from, knowing that it's addressed to me. I see little Maria cutely running towards us, her hair flying behind her blonde ponytails. Her eyes are shining a brighter green now that it's daytime. I kneel down to greet her and she flings her tiny arms around my shoulders.
"Hey there. How've you been hn?" I gently ask, patting her head.
"Well, seems like you're okay now." Said the figure approaching, who, with his messy brown hair and deep blue eyes can only be Rei.
I merely nod at him to acknowledge him, which is when Duo interrupts.
"Ne, Hee-chan, care to introduce me to them?"
Maria and Rei turn their attention to him and I take my turn to speak.
"Oh yeah. He's Duo. Some idiot who dropped by my house and I don't know when he's planning to leave."
And his head drops.
"That was a very pleasant way of introducing your…"
"Friend." I cut in before he speaks further. Honestly, this guy's mouth will eventually be the death of me.
Maria chuckles.
"You two are so cute together."
And for some reason, that comment really made me blush…
Sometimes, I really hate it when children make innocent comments like that. They say that the words of a child are always true, and I hate to believe that. Us? Look cute together? I resent that.
"Hey, you know what, if you continue that, we'll become best friends!" Duo exclaims excitedly, beaming at Maria.
"Shut up you!" I snap at him.
At the corner of my eye, I see Rei smirking. A knowing smirk. Hmph. Another idiot.
"What are you grinning like that for?"
"Oh nothing." And he whistles innocently. Why do I feel like these people are on some kind of conspiracy against me?
That's it. I'm out of here.
I turn to walk away then I feel Maria's hand grab me.
"Big brother, I have something for you."
She opens her fancy little pink shoulder bag and pulls out a… dunno, looks like intertwined threads or something. She wraps it around my wrist and locks it with a tight knot.
"It's my way of saying thank you for saving my life the other night." She conveys with a bright smile.
I stare at it for a long moment. It's actually the first time I got a Christmas present. Discounting Duo's kiss, of course.
"Thank you…" I unconsciously mutter.
"It's a wish bracelet. It knows what your heart is wishing for, and the moment that it falls of, is when your wish comes true." Maria explains, then continues with a proud grin. "I made that for you."
"Thanks…" I tell her again, patting her head affectionately.
"No biggie!" She replies.
"We better go. Maria's mom is probably worried about her already. We've been out for too long now." Rei voices out.
"Oh pooh, so soon???" Maria pouts.
"Well, it's not like you won't see each other anymore. It's just for now. Your mom's all alone at home, and you don't want her to be lonely now don't you?"
Maria gives it a thought, then sighs. "I guess not."
"Hey, next time we see each other I'll treat you to an ice cream parlour, is that okay?" I tell Maria, if that's any consolation at all.
But it worked.
"Sure!" She exclaims with a wide smile, then glomps me again.
Then they turn to walk away. Maria turns to look at us and waves, a sweet smile still lingering on her doll-like face.
"Bye bye! Big brother!!"
And they go, leaving me alone with Duo again.
"So, that was her huh? The one you saved." Duo asks me.
"Aa." I simply respond.
"Man I'm hungry. What do you say, Hee-chan? Wanna go eat dinner?"
"Hmph. Bottomless pit." I grunt at him.
"Meanie." Duo pouts.
And lately… I've been finding it cute when he pouts. Well now, it seems the sadistic part of me wants to make him pout more often.
Now, it's my turn to do the pissing off.
~)-0-(~
=^w^= Soo… should I still continue this fic? I feel like it's going nowhere… -_-;;;
Anyhow… please let me know what you think. ^^
Just don't throw anything at me. I'm not very good at dodging objects. And this is my very first G Wing fanfic after all, so please be nice to me. ^^;;

Reply to reviews:
HeeroDuo4eva: Waii~!! Thanks a lot. I hope you liked this chap too. ^^
Anna: Wowies! Thanks!!! I was so motivated by what you said, so I decided to continue with this lil fic of mine. Although… I am really sorry for letting you wait too long before I update. *insert sheepish grin*
Devylzangyl: Sorry for making you wait for too long ne. TT.TT I'm really trying but it's hard, to think that this ficcie still doesn't have a plot until now. What I'm doing is basically just writing down random scenes that pop in my head. ^^;;
Strider Battle: I am SOOOO sorry for the long wait. ^^;;; I really tried to update as soon as I could, but there were so many factors (a.k.a. excuses XD) that kept me from doing this fic… busy sched, add up with exams, headaches, etc… Not to mention I still haven't finished coming up with a plot for this. =^o^=
Kage Kitsune: Wai~!!! Hiei and Kurama are my fave characters too! ^^ *hearts* Especially that bishounen man-wolf!! I just sooo love him! ^^ I was tempted not to update knowing you were planning to send them to attack me (at least I get to meet them! XD XD XD), but of course, those reading this fic (if any) will kill me if I did that.
