Double Take Another Gundam?
Disclaimer: Ok so here's the deal. I don't own Gundam Wing or its characters, they belong to their rightful owners, and I'm just using them for my story so don't sue me please, but I do own Morrigan, who I made up so please don't use her in your stories, because if you do it'll make me cry ~_~ Just kidding, just don't use her.
N/A: Hi everyone, seeing as not many people reviewed my story, I'm thinking of giving up, but I won't so there. HAHAHA. Anyway here's in this chapter the relationship between two of the characters will develop but I'm not saying who, but hey if you don't know than that's pretty pathetic. So on with the show, I mean story…
Chapter Two
It had been two days since the whole Duo fiasco, and according to one of the girls in duo's class, morrigan had gone home right after, and hadn't come back. Also another oz base had been destroyed and its soldiers killed, leaving the gundam pilots in confusion.
"Who do you think could be doing this?" was Quatre's question as he and
Duo sat waiting for class to start.
"I don't know, but whoever it is, is doing a good job of it, huh?" said Duo as he thought of Morrigan, you see she was in their class along with a few more younger students, who were a bit more advanced than the rest of their grade.
"Yes, but we still have to find out who it is, right Duo? Duo?" said Quatre snapping his fingers in front of Duo's face.
"Huh? What? Oh right ye, must… find…who…"
Just then a girl walked into the class. Duo just stared at her, her brown hair tied in a ponytail and her piercing blue eyes just glaring at him, full of remembrance of what had happened only days earlier. She took the only available seat, which just happened to be right next to Duo.
"Hi we never really got to introduce ourselves properly last time we met. I'm Duo Maxwell, and I know who you are. Your name it Morrigan." He said with a big smile
"Well aren't you intelligent, but I'm in the middle of something right now." Said Morrigan coldly as she took out a book and began to read to herself. Duo was a little discouraged by the comment but wanted to strike up another conversation, so he decided to see what book she was reading. When he saw what she was reading he was surprised.
"You're into mobile suits!!!" he almost yelled
"You shouldn't be so nosy" she said slamming the book shut and putting it in her bag.
"I wasn't trying to be NOSY. I just wanted to see if we had common interests…" Duo trailed off getting a pinkish tone in his cheeks. Morrigan noticed this and found it a quite amusing. So she decided to indulge in his desperate attempt to impress her, besides the teacher wouldn't be there for another five minutes and she was bored.
"Yes I have an interest in mobile suits, but not just any mobile suits. I favor mobile suits constructed from Gundanium alloy."
Duo was wide eyed, *she even likes gundams, she's just perfect. * He thought.
"So you like gundams?" said Duo realizing that he hadn't responded for a while. "I know a place where they make mobile suits. They're not gundams but they are suit made by Oz."
At this remark Morrigan got a strange sparkle in her eyes. Ah those eyes, Duo felt he could just stare into those eyes forever. As he gazed into those eyes all he could see was a blue like the bluest ocean, then he heard Morrigan's voice "Duo, Duo, Duo!!"
He was brought back to reality with Morrigan shaking him the sparkle had disappeared, and she looked more annoyed than amused.
"What did you say? Hunny" was Duo response, as he sat just staring at her.
Morrigan ignoring the "hunny" part of the sentence repeated what she had said earlier. "I asked you where the mobile suit building place was."
"Oh its not far from here, maybe a half hour walk. It's easy to spot too; it's the only big gray warehouse in the area. I could show it to you sometime." Said Duo trying to hint at a date.
"No, I think I can find it on my own." As Morrigan finished her sentence, the teacher walked in and class started.
"Okay, good afternoon class. Today I will be pairing you up for a history project; the topic will be of your choice. Now the way I will be pairing you up will be like this, the person beside you is your partner. So the teams are as follow: Erica and Alex, Quatre and James, Duo and Morrigan…" by now Duo wasn't listening to the teacher anymore, instead he was thinking about Morrigan, and how he could plan a few "study dates", to work on the project of course.
The teacher had given them a work period to plan out their project. All the team were working hard. All, except for Duo and Morrigan that is. For the past hour they had been sitting in silence, Duo gazing at Morrigan, and Morrigan staring at Heero. Then finally Duo decided to talk to her once again.
"So… what do you wanna do for the project? Um… how about… no that wouldn't be good. Hmm…"
"We'll do the war where the first mobile suits were used" snapped Morrigan.
"Ok, geez, why'd ya gotta bite my head off" said Duo as he scratched his head in confusion.
It was raining when school ended. Luckily Duo had brought his umbrella, so he started walking home. Half-way home he noticed a figure standing in the rain across from the Oz mobile suit factory, and he thought to himself *man who would be dumb enough to stand outside in the pouring rain, with no umbrella no doubt* when he came closer to the person he saw that it was Morrigan. She was soaking wet, clothes clinging to her body. Her hair, that was once a neat ponytail was dripping with water, and a few strands had strayed and were now sticking to her face. She didn't seem to notice this, or the rain or Duo. All her attention seemed to be on the warehouse in front of her. Duo walked up to her and held his umbrella over her too protect her from any further rain.
"You know, standing in the pouring rain in just that isn't too bright." He said cheerfully, trying to brighten up the situation. Morrigan turned her head and faced him, water droplets dripping down her face. Duo looked into her eyes, which had glossed over, they were distant. The two were very close, almost touching. Duo raised his hand slowly, and brought it to her face, wiping away the water. At his touch Morrigan came back to reality with a jerk and noticed what was happening. She pulled her head away and Duo lowered his hand. For a brief moment they just stood there face to face, staring at each other, until Duo stepped closer to Morrigan.
"We should really go somewhere dry or you're gonna get sick. My place is just over there, what do you think?" Morrigan just nodded and they headed to the apartment.
When they got there Duo handed Morrigan a towel and dry clothes.
"You can change in that room there. Then bring your clothes out and hang them by the radiator"
"Okay, thanks" Morrigan whispered as she took the clothes and headed for the room. Duo didn't notice the slight tint of pink in her cheeks as she left. A couple minutes later she came out and hung her clothes by the radiator. She looked around for Duo but saw no trace of him, but she did smell coffee. Then she heard a familiar voice coming from the kitchen.
"Hey I'm in here, you want a cup on coffee?"
"Sure…" said Morrigan wondering why she was acting so out of character.
"Okay, I'll bring them out, just go sit on the couch over there"
Morrigan sat down, and waited quietly, then Duo came into the room with a tray carrying to mugs, and a plate with cake on it. He placed the tray on the table and sat down beside Morrigan. Hesitantly she moved away. Duo also backed off a bit. They sat there in silence until Morrigan picked up a slice of cake and eat a piece of it.
"Wow, this is really good. Did you make it?"
"Yeah, I did, is it really that good?" said Duo, a little happy that Morrigan was the one to break the silence this time.
"Yes it is" said Morrigan as she picked up a mug and drank from it. *It's too sweet* she thought as she choked on the coffee. Duo looked at her with concern and asked if she was alright, and she assured him that she was. She wondered why she had continued to drink the coffee instead of tossing it, but then she realized that Duo was asking her something.
"What did you say?"
"I said that I'm getting tired and that we should get some sleep"
"I should go home"
"What kind of a person would I be if I let a pretty lady like yourself go out in the middle of the night, in the rain"
"I can handle myself"
"I know but I still think you should stay here, and anyway Heero won't be home until morning"
"Oh, Heero lives here too? Fine. I'll take the couch good night"
"No I'll take the couch"
"No I'm the guest so I will"
This went on for about a half hour until Duo finally gave up and went into he and Heero's room to sleep. A few hours later he went to check on Morrigan, and as he thought she was asleep. He lifted her up and put her on Heero's bed. He pulled the covers onto her and went back to his bed.
"I would've been perfectly fine on the couch…" said Morrigan sleepily, eyes still closed
Duo just smiled as he climbed into his own bed and drifted off to sleep.
A/N: wasn't that just the cutest, so Morrigan is
starting to warm up a bit, well more than a bit to Duo, but she still has an
interest in Heero, although it wasn't mentioned in this chapter, it will be in
the chapters to come. Please review, when I get 10 reviews I'll put up chapter
3.
