Joyous Revelation: Chapter 2
I sat silent as I drove to Duo's house, him making comments toward the songs on the radio. He sang along, smiling at me and shaking my shoulder to join him. I shook my head, not really knowing any of the songs I just tried to sound like I knew what the hell I was doing.
"Hey, Duo?" I started, looking at him as we stopped at a stop sign.
He looked at me and raised his eyebrows, "yeah, Heero?" he asked.
I bit my lower lip and made little motions with my hands, trying to get out what I wanted to say. He matched my hand motions, that grin on his face again, blue eyes sparkling. I opened my mouth to say what I wanted but he stopped me.
"You want me to go to the princess's party, right?" he asked, smiling at me.
I nodded silently and blushed to myself, though at the time I didn't know why. I was happy he'd planned on going; he'd be able to keep me company while I had to endure the crowd's idiotic talk.
"Will you?" I asked, looking at him as I turned onto Eighth Street.
He stayed silent through the drive down the short street. He pointed to a small house at the end of the block, grabbing his bag from the back seat. I pulled into the driveway and he opened the door of the car, grinning as he stepped out. "Sure, I'll go with you." He said simply, closing the door and starting to walk, only to turn around and open the door again.
"Yes?" I asked as he pulled a piece of paper and a pen out from his bag, scribbling something on it and holding it out to me.
"Call me tonight and we'll talk about it." He stated and shut the door, walking to the door.
I blinked and stared at the paper, a strange feeling coming over me. I was happy, no, I was giddy. I wasn't even nearly this happy when Relena gave me her number the first time. This was new, but I shook it off, it's not like it meant anything. **
I pulled up in Duo's driveway at exactly 7:30, just as we'd planned. He sat on the porch, the dark light not allowing me to see his face. He strode to my car, dressed in a black European style shirt that showed his chest and dark charcoal pants that seemed to hug him in every way. It was a medieval prince come to life.
I couldn't help but stare as he opened the door to my car and sit. I quickly banished all thought of him looking amazing out of my mind. I had Relena to look forward to, and no doubt she'd gone all out on her dress and the expense of the party. She'd look beautiful and everything would be great again, just like it was.
Duo smiled and looked me over, a smile coming to his face. He reached out and shook my shoulder and I smiled back at him, my eyes wandering to the exposed skin of his muscular chest.
//Stop that, Heero or he'll know something's wrong! // I mentally slapped myself, directing my gaze to the windshield. I pulled out of the driveway and started to Relena's house, biting my lip and giving myself mental coaching to not look in the direction of my newfound friend. **
"Heero! You came!" Relena shouted, jumping on me and throwing her pale arms around me.
I unlatched myself and offered her my arm, motioning to Duo. He smiled and offered his hand to Relena. She looked at him for a second and let out a shrill squeak, taking a few steps away from him, nearly tripping on her skirts.
"That's the new guy isn't it? Heero, why would you come with him, stay away from him!" she yelled, pulling me away from him as I got a very confused expression on my face.
"Relena? What the hell is your problem?" I yelled at her, pulling from her death grip.
"He's gay! Don't let him touch you!" she screamed, pulling me away, a wry grin on Duo's face.
I stopped and looked back at Duo, a slight smile on my face as a few of the guys slowly backed away from him, their arms tightening around their girlfriends' waists. He grinned and I pulled away from Relena, walking over to him, a horrified expression on my girlfriend's face.
"Duo and I are here together whether he's gay or not. Relax will you, Relena?" I stated, smiling as she writhed with anger and horrification.
I laughed to myself and Duo smiled, leading me away from the scene. Relena ran over to her followers to retell the tale, and I bet you anything she was planning to dump me right then. We sat in the chairs lining the wall, talking like we had all that afternoon. And you know what? I bet if you asked me I couldn't tell you one of those topics we discussed, we just talked like that. About nothing.
A slow song came up and Relena slowly walked over to me, pulling me from my chair and leaving Duo alone. She led me out to the dance area and I wrapped my arms around her small form, smiling down at her as she looked up at me and laid her head on my shoulder. Now, I have to admit as annoying and immature as she is, Relena is amazingly sweet and pretty cute at times. Not all bad, right?
"Heero?" she asked, pulling her head from my shoulder.
I looked down at her and raised an eyebrow, running a hand through her blonde hair. She smiled and leaned up on her toes and kissed me, as I lay a hand under her chin. I closed my eyes into the kiss and reveled in its comfort, it was nice, gentle, and soft. Hmm, I wonder if Duo kissed this way. Maybe he was as confident and subtle as Relena was with her kissing, or perhaps he liked to take control and leave the other person craving more. Either way, it sounded good.
I suddenly felt a stirring of feelings I hadn't before, I mean, kissing Relena was something I was used to, but it didn't seem as enjoyable as of late. That, and the only thing that made it good to the senses was the thought of Duo in her place. WHOA, I needed to stop that train of thought right there. I shouldn't be thinking of HIM while kissing my girlfriend, it just isn't right. Though it felt that way.
