Starting Over Again: Chapter 5
It was two days later and Heero was sitting in a wooden chair typing on his laptop. He quietly mumbled to himself. "Ok J. Where'd ya go this time…" He continued to type, "I'm going to find you." Fifteen minutes later he stopped typing and shut down his laptop. He stuck it in his sack and walked out the front door with a quiet, "found you."
Almost ten minutes after Heero drove out of the driveway, Duo drove in. He walked into his silent apartment. "Heero, I'm home," he called out walking into the living room. "Hm, he's not here…o well." Quickly he walked over to the TV and picked up his video game controller and began playing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//Ok, if J is twelve hours from Duo's apartment, and I've been gone three hours there is still nine hours left. // As he drove though a large orange sign came up reading 'Worker's ahead. DETOUR.' //Damn. //
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By nightfall, Heero still wasn't home. //I didn't expect him to stay anyways…// Thought Duo silently walking towards his room. He pulled off his clothes, left his boxers on and got in bed.
The next day Duo woke up early to the sound of continuous knocking. //So many visitors lately…// He picked up the nearest pants, slipped them on and dragged himself to the noise determined to stop it. He swung open the door already angry at whoever had came so early just to get angrier by who it was. "What do you want, Relena?"
She walked right past him before she began her explanation. "I heard my Heero was over here and of course I had to come over right away."
"Who told you that?" Duo asked, even angrier because now he would have to disinfect his house. Her perfume was now lingering everywhere along with little pink fuzzies from her scarf and pink glitter from her handbag.
"Quatre," She continued on from the already reached living room to the kitchen, and from the kitchen into Duo's room with Duo following closely behind.
"Get out of my room Relena." Duo said annoyance clear in his voice.
"Well… where is he?"
"He's not here." Duo answered.
"WHY didn't you tell me that before?"
Duo shrugged, wondering why he didn't himself before when he saw more glitter fall on the carpet. "Relena get out, now."
"Fine I don't want to see you anyways," she answered and stomped off towards the door.
Duo headed to the closet to get the vacuum cleaner. After he had finished vacuuming all the rooms and getting all the pink fuzzies off the couches, the phone rang. He picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hey, this is Quatre. Relena just left she called me a liar, said that Heero's not over there."
"Well he isn't."
"Where is he?"
"I don't know. He just left, just like last time without saying a word or telling me where he was going. Except this time we didn't get in a fight. I guess that was expected though."
"I'm sorry Duo."
"Nothing to be sorry about he didn't hurt me this time. It's not your fault anyways."
Duo heard Quatre sigh. "Ok, well I've got to go Sally and Wufei just showed up, but I'm gonna call you later, K?"
"Fine with me."
"See ya."
"Bye."
Duo sat down on a recently cleaned couch and felt loneliness envelope him. //He didn't hurt me this time, not as bad, but even in this short period he had became one of the only things I thought about. Now I have to get him out of my mind… again. // Duo sighed out loud and laid back on the couch playing with a thread on his shirt. "Why does my life have to be so complicated," he asked the air. Within a few minutes he became bored after having Heero over for about two weeks every day it seemed like there was nothing to do. He decided to go to Quatre's and Trowa's for a while. If Wufei was over there he could have some fun. He decided it would be easy to forget about Heero.
