Fallen Angels - Chapter 3
Trowa's Present
I smiled. Looking at the clock that rested on the lamp table, I saw that it was 4 o'clock AM. Way past Otouto's bedtime!
I stretched. The little boy looked tired but refused to let sleep claim him. I smiled. He is such an adorable little guy! He sighed. Looking up at me with his big green eyes, he grinned apologetically before fall back on the bed and snoring softly.
I gently laid the blanket over him over him. This is actually the first really time I got a full look at him. He was not really fat but had his share of baby fat. He's also kind of tall for just a 7 year old. His light blond hair reminded me of Quatre. Might also make since because he insisted on getting a haircut like his shy father.
I know you're wondering how I know so much stuff just looking at a person or maybe just why I know so much about kids. Well, the first part, I've learned that through training... 15 long years of training. The second part is that I volunteer at orphanages and help out the kids there. I love the kids. All of them have the cutest faces and the biggest hearts.
Trowa had come back now. He had wrapped a medium sized box with shiny green and red wrapping paper. "An early Merry Christmas gift that the little one picked out for you, Duo," He said.
"Hey thanks pal!" I ripped off the paper and opened the brown box. Inside was the most beautiful cross I had ever seen. A silver dragon wrapped itself around the cross looking back at me with its small ruby eyes. I looked over to Trowa. He had fallen asleep again. But I whispered to him anyway, "Thanks a lot."
Anyway, today I'm leaving the hospital. You'd think this was a good thing!
You see, after the war, there was nothing to do. We were forced to go to school. Quatre had not enrolled me, yet because of my depressing state. But I think he is going to. Oh yeah, here he comes now.
"Hey, Quat. What's up?"
"Hi Duo, I went and enrolled you in to the school we're going too! It'll be so fun to have you around and-" I groaned, "Duo, I know you don't want to go to school but it's the law and besides you don't want to live out in the streets again, do you?"
I sighed. Best to listen to Quat, right? I don't really feel like arguing right now anyway. "Fine then." I stuck out my tongue at him.
He smiled. "Okay, here's your school uniform!"
"No way! I'm not wearing THAT!" I point to the dorky looking clothes that included a girly button shirt, a slightly pink colored jacket, and matching pants.
"We must. We are going to one of the best schools in the universe, Ms. Peacecraft's school."
Oh fuck. Just great. I have to deal with Relena now. But I didn't say it out loud of course. I'd hurt Quat's feelings. So I smiled at him. "Alright then. When do I start?"
"Let's see, today is Saturday so you'll start on next Monday, I guess." Ugh! Ruined my week. Better enjoy it before it's too late!
"Okay. I'm going out now!" I ran upstairs to change.
My room hadn't changed a bit. No one touched anything. The floor was still messy and my bed was untouched. Quat kept his promise. I opened my closet and looked for something to wear. I took out a pair of leather pants and a black tank top. Slipping them on while I looked for my socks under my bed, I found a can of hair dye. [1]
Hair dye? Where had this come from? Oh yeah, long ago when Heero was still alive. He gave me this. Violet hair dye. It matches my eyes. Gave it to me for my personality. Bad and beautiful.
I walked slowly into the bathroom and closed the door. I undid my braid. It flowed over my back. Long chestnut colored hair. I grabbed a couple of stands and dyed them. Then I grabbed another random stands and dyed it. I continued that a few times.
I looked at the mirror. Its image is unfamiliar to me. Large sad eyes on a pale heart shaped face. It's not the usual cheery face I pretend to be. It's the real me. After Heero left. The me inside. [2]
I shook my head and sighed. I'm thinking too much again.
I jogged down the stairs and found Quat waiting there.
"It's 8 at night and you're going out?" He questioned me nervously.
"Yeah, I'll come back before 10. Promise!" I smiled
"But it's dangerous out in the streets at night, Duo." Quat, what is your point in stopping me? You know I'm going to go anyway.
"I know, Quat. I'll be back by 10. I swear!" He finally gave way to the front door. "Bye, Quat!"
"Bye Duo." Quat waved at me before closing the door.
I slowly walked down to the club. Of course, Quat didn't know about it. He'd kill me if he did!
I glanced at a couple kissing on the park's bench. Sighing, I jogged up to a neo lighted clubhouse.
A big guy named Astika stood at the doorway. Shit, I forgot my fake ID! I started turning back but something caught my eye.
[1] Mmmm, Ever wonder if Duo would look good with purple hair? Or am I the only one who does? Mmmm, he'd look sorta like Nuriko from Fushigi Yuugi, doncha think?
[2] Ughhhh, this part makes me feel all sad.
Gothy: Cliff hanger!!! Mwhahahaha!
Mimi: Oh yeah and Merry Christmas to everyone!
Nuriko: Santa's a stalker!!! He's even got his own stalker song. "He can see you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you'd been bad or good so be good for goodness sake!"
