Fragile Faith: Chapter 19 – Piqued Interest
Days passed and weeks passed. Heero and Duo got closer and closer to each other; Heero knowing that he could never live without the braided boy and Duo knowing that he would never leave the Japanese teen. The days were spent with Duo showing Heero the world bit by bit and the nights saw them curled up together in Heero's room at the orphanage with the melodies from the CD that Duo bought playing through the headphones they shared. Heero cradled his plushie in front of him while Duo held him from behind, planting kisses every so often, on his mouth, his cheek, his neck, his shoulder, his knuckles… anywhere he could reach.
"Ne Heero…" Duo said quietly one night.
"Hm… nani?"
"About next week… I'm probably not going to be able to be with you much; graduation practice and stuff." Heero just smiled. Duo's graduation was almost here… just another couple of weeks left. The braided boy had promised that once he graduated, Heero could move in with him into the new apartment that he was going to buy.
"It's okay." Heero snuggled deeper. "I understand." Duo smiled and kissed his temple.
"I promise you that we will be together soon." Duo tilted up the Japanese boy's head and bestowed a soft kiss, sealing the promise before drifting off to sleep.

The week passed by quickly and all too soon, Duo was driving Heero back to the orphanage for one last time before the week that was reserved to the White Fang University graduating seniors was upon him. Duo stopped the car and Heero was about to get out when the other teen grabbed a hold of his shirt and pulled him close, lips meeting in a passionate kiss.
"Mmph…mmmhh…" Heero groaned deeply in his throat. They parted with one last soft lingering kiss.
"I'll be thinking about you all week," Duo whispered.
"I'll be waiting here for you," Heero responded back. He got out of the car, Duo's gaze following the Japanese boy until he reached the door. Duo waved to the other teen and only when he saw Heero disappear through the door did he finally drive off with a smile on his face and Heero in his thoughts.
He never did notice the incredibly conspicuous pink limo that was parked across the street, a few feet away…
…just like Heero, with his mind still on the braided boy, didn't notice when a honey colored head turned, a pair of cerulean eyes locked onto his face, trailing up and down his wiry body.
'He's… perfect. I must have him!' passed through the mind of a young girl. When the door closed, the cerulean eyes set themselves upon Lady Une.
"Who was he?" her curious voice asked.
"He… He's an orphan here," Lady Une replied hesitantly. She was shocked when Relena Darlian, daughter of the Vice Foreign Minister, showed up earlier in the evening and was nervous when the young lady looked around the orphanage as if she was "inspecting" it. Nothing seemed to interest her… that is, until Heero came home. Now Lady Une was downright worried.
"Doesn't he have a name?" Relena asked in a slightly irritated voice. Her day had been extremely dull with visiting various orphanages throughout the city. There wasn't more than a handful but the distances between them were great and nothing irritated Relena more than having to sit in her limo doing nothing. She knew that her father wanted her to visit this one in particular because he knew Lady Une from way back when and had donated money to her to maintain the orphanage.
'Judging from the interior, she hadn't spend any of my father's money on the place at all.' Relena had thought. She was about to leave when a young boy came in through the front door and immediately her flagging interest was revived.
"Heero Yuy." Relena smiled when Lady Une responded.
"Heero. How long has he been here?" Lady Une swallowed.
"S-Since he was around 5."
"Oh my… that would be over 10 years now and no one has ever come to adopt him?" Relena looked up and seeing Lady Une nod, she smiled.
"I would be happy to have him come home with me… to live…"
