Joyous Revelation- Chapter 4
I woke that next morning around 9:30 or so and very confused. I pulled back the knotted coverlet to my bed and put on the first set of clothes that seemed to be clean. The curtains were still drawn from before I left for the party last night and I was extremely happy for my second thought. Well, I was thankful that my eyes weren't being burned out of their sockets by bright sunlight.
I made it downstairs and poured myself a glass of juice and tried to wake up. My head still swam with confused thoughts as to what had happened last night and I craved answers. Yes, I craved answers and food of some kind. **
"Hey, Duo, yeah last night was fun wasn't it? But the reason I called was that I'm wondering if you wanted to grab something to eat. Anywhere's fine and uh, I can come get you in say, 30 minutes?" I explained, biting my lower lip and pressed the phone closer to my ear.
"Sure, Heero. I'd love to, just let me get dressed okay?" he said, and I swear that I could here the grin he wore through the phone.
"That'd be great. See you then." I confirmed and hung up, then noticed how my steps quickened as I made my way upstairs to get myself ready as well. **
I pulled up at the McDonalds and smiled at my companion as he opened his door and climbed out. I followed suite and we went in. I smiled at him again as he playfully poked my shoulder, making me fall into one of the booths. His bright eyes reflected happiness and I stood back up beside him, my eyes searching the menu and finally settling on my order.
We sat after making out orders and getting out drinks. I sat across from him and ran a hand through my hair. He smiled and as I settled my hand on the table he took it. I looked up into his sapphire eyes and broke out into a grin of my own, he's good at that.
"Heero, I was wondering something." Duo started, stopping only as the food was set in front of us.
I looked at him and took a drink from my Coke. He did the same and we ate in silence, our eyes never leaving each other. My hands rested on the table again after I had finished, the garbage on our tray. Duo finished soon after and he threw what we had left away, returning to the table and taking my hands.
"Heero I need to tell you something. " Duo started, clasping my hand in both of his.
I looked at him with an expression of interest, my eyes locked on his. He bit his lip and struggled to get his words out and I smiled to myself. He sighed and tried again, this time the words coming out a bit more clear and easier to understand.
"Heero, I like you, alright? I know it must sound weird from, you know, a gay guy and I apologize for the kiss and all. Please don't be freaked out." Duo said quickly, his eyes falling from mine and to the table, him looking like he'd just shot someone.
I laughed and shook my head, squeezing his hand. He looked up at me, a smile growing on his face. I smiled and looked back into his eyes.
"Duo, I- I like you too okay? So, don't worry about it alright? I enjoyed everything last night so, just relax. "I said softly, my eyes still locked on his.
His eyes widened and he leaned closer to me, his breath tickling my face. He shook his head in disbelief and squeezed my hand harder. I almost laughed again but looked at him in all seriousness.
"So, does anyone know?" he asked, lowering his voice.
I shook my head and smiled. Maybe this is why my and Relena's relationship is such a joke? Or it could be because I can't really stand her. Or possibly it could be because I never really got to know her. Or maybe I just fell for Duo before I knew him. Who knows?
Duo bit his lip again and leaned closer, our lips almost touching, I closed my eyes awaiting the contact and I could feel my hand shaking in his. Our lips touched gently, barely making any contact at all. I leaned in closer, hungry for more contact. He smiled and deepened the kiss, a hand reaching for my chin. I sighed inwardly, literally on cloud 9.
We were suddenly interrupted by the comments of the people around us. They insulted us and I dare not repeat some of the names we were called here, but let me assure that they were bad. So, to make that story short, we left.
We both climbed into my car and I turned on the ignition. He looked at me and smiled, leaning his head on my shoulder and I couldn't help but sigh in happiness. The feeling of him close was just enough to make me extremely happy. **
We made it back to my house and collapsed onto the couch. I smiled as Duo rested his head on my shoulder and closed his eyes, humming. I held his hands and gently stroked his long fingers, them jerking and twitching every so often from the touch.
It wasn't until later that I realized that no one knew that I was.No one knew that I was gay. And I'm proud as hell to say that too. Everyone will know then Duo and I can be happy together, and that's all that matter, alright? But now, how do I tell them?
