*Small Note*- Several people have mentioned to me that Catherine is Trowa's
sister. I already knew, but thanks for correcting me. But since Trowa was
straight, I couldn't think of anyone to set him up with. Relena maybe.o.O?
Then again, maybe not. See what I mean? Anywho.on with the story!!
*parts the red curtains*
Well, I tired hard not to think about what Duo was up to. I think it worked fairly well. I failed a math test, walked into three doors and walked into the girl's bathroom thinking it was the boys. Hey, I said tried..okay so it annoyed me constantly and I was tempted to strangle it out of Duo all week, but Heero kept using his death glare on me so I couldn't.
Finally the dreaded and anticipated day arrived. Odd how I was terrified about today, yet excited at the same time. I think I'm beginning to lose it.
I walked into school like any other day, but today couples were extra sappy with each other and there was lots of pink and red everywhere. I opened my locker and sighed. It was a tradition at our school to stuff Valentine's Day cards in you crush's lockers. I never get any, and I sure as hell don't give any out, well not in reality that is.
I was getting my stuff for class as Duo came up to me, smiling triumphantly.
"What are you so happy about? Did you successfully get laid.again?" I snapped.
Duo made a face.
"You're just jealous Quat. But you won't be for long. You'll be thanking me later." he said leaning against the wall and observing his hand with mild interest.
"Whatever it is you've done, I seriously doubt I'll be thanking you Duo." I said coldly.
"God, why are you so moody today Quat?" Duo asked.
"Duo, even you should be able to figure that one out. I've been single every Valentine's Day my whole entire life. I have to watch all the other couples get gifts from each other and be happy while I'm stuck with some chocolate that I bought for myself." I said in a pathetic voice.
Duo stared at me and started laughing.
"You buy yourself chocolate!! Even I wouldn't do that!! You are pathetic Quat!" he said doubling over with laughter.
I pulled on his long braid hard.
"DUO MAXWELL YOU HAVE GOT TO BE THE MOST INSENSITIVE PRICK I'VE EVER MET!! WHAT KIND OF FRIEND BEATS THEIR FRIEND WHEN THEY'RE DOWN!?" I screamed still pulling his hair.
"Hem."
I whipped around taking Duo's hair with me.
"Ow!! Quat let go already!!" Duo yelled at me.
I didn't hear him. I was paying attention to what was in front of me. Trowa Barton stood looking at me with mild amusement on his face.
"Don't let me interrupt anything." he said, and even gave a small smile.
I blushed, his smile was ssooo sexy, I felt like melting.
"Oh, um. You weren't I was just trying to severely injure him and land him in the hospital." I said without thinking, again.
"You do speak." Trowa said, looking surprised.
"Erm.." I stared down at the floor contemplating my brown shoes. o.O
Another one of the hated silences came again. I'm really getting good at those.
"Um, maybe I spoke to soon. Look, you're Quatre Winner right?" he asked.
I looked up at him, and tried speaking, but my throat wouldn't cooperate. Instead I shook my head really fast, resembling one of those freaky bobble head dolls.
"Okay, stop shaking your head so much you're giving me a head ache." Trowa said.
I abruptly stopped.
"Meet me at the benches after school okay?"
"Yes sir." I said, standing perfectly straight with my chest sticking out a little.
Trowa shot me a weird look, shrugged and walked off.
"QUATRE RABERBA WINNER LET GO OF MY FUCKING HAIR!"
I jumped and pulled Duo's hair more.
"OW! GOD DAMMIT QUAT! ARE YOU TRYING TO SCALP ME!?" Duo screamed at the top of his lungs.
I released his hair and began to apologize.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry!!" I begged.
"Okay, okay. I heard you already." Duo said, obviously annoyed with me.
"Duo I didn't mean it. I'm sorry." I whined and put on my best puppy face.
"Not the face Quat! Dear Shinigami not the puppy face!! Alright, alright! I forgive you!!" Duo said covering his eyes.
I grinned, and Duo grinned back.
"So, is Trowa your military authority now? You did everything but salute him." Duo said, sucking in his chest and giving a tiny, high pitched 'yes sir' to mimic me.
"Oh shut up! I was nervous!" I said defensively.
Duo grinned.
"Well at least he asked you out."
I snorted.
"He did no such thing Duo. He just asked me to meet him after school." I said, feeling the blood rush to my face.
Duo laughed and began walking to class.
"Whatever you say Quat. Whatever you say."
You know how some people can things that just get to you. Well Trowa and Duo's words had that exact effect on me. I couldn't sit still, all through English class I kept tapping my foot and twitching. My teachers kept coming up to me asking if I was has some sort of spasm.
Finally, the last bell rang and I found myself running to my locker and getting my stuff together at warp speed. Did I just say warp speed.great now I'm thinking in Star Trek lingo.
I waited outside the old, red brick building, pacing back and forth.
"Quatre?" I heard a voice call me.
I spun around.
"Trowa.you came." I said in awe.
He gave me a confused look.
"I was the one who asked you to meet me remember?"
I turned red again.
"Ohright!Ofcourseyoudid!I'msorry,pleaseforgivemystupidity!" I slurred together.
"Calm down! It's okay! Breathe Quatre!" Trowa said in a raised voice.
I began taking deep breaths, praying there was a sniper around to shoot me. After another one of our classic pauses, I decided to ask the question that had been bothering me all damn day.
"Why did you ask me to meet you?" I asked in a small voice, dreading the answer for some unknown reason.
To my surprise, Trowa blushed and didn't say anything.
And, to my surprise again, I found myself saying, "Hey, I thought turning red and being mute was my job!?"
Again to my surprise, Trowa laughed, wow three in a row! Trowa Barton, emotionless jock of Taylorville High became, well, emotional. The world isn't gonna end now is it?
Unfortunately the humor only lasted a few moments before Trowa became serious again.
"Well, because my answer to your question is yes, I guess."
I stared at him in complete confusion once more.
"M-my question?"
Trowa gave me that he's-no-brighter-than-a-toddler look again, damn I'm starting to hate that.
"Um, didn't you slip this card into my locker?" he asked, holding up a pink card.
"Shit." I thought and took the card from him.
It was pink with a deformed dog holding a red heart balloon on the front. It said "Open Me." I flipped to the inside. It said, "I woof you. Happy Valentine's Day." Below the corny message was a note.
Trowa Barton,
Will you go on a date with me?
I await your answer.
-Quatre Winner
The hand writing was Duo's.
"I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna kill him." I chanted over and over, picture a squealing Duo being strangled to death with the red heart balloon by that deformed dog.
"Hold up, he said yes." I thought, halting my Duo killing sequence.
"Y-you will? I mean, uh, is your girlfriend okay with all of this?" I asked, clutching the card tightly in my hand.
I had visions of an enraged Catherine chasing me down the street with a large pitch fork in her hand.
"It was Catherine's idea." Trowa said defensively.
"Oh so this is a forced thing huh? Thanks for being so sincere Mr. Barton." I hissed in my mind.
"She said it was cute that you liked me, and that I should say yes so I wouldn't break your heart. She took pity on you." Trowa continued, looking up, as if he had never seen the sky before.
"She fuckin' pitied me! What's with her! Is forcing her boy friend to go on a date with me supposed to make me feel better!? Hello! I'm looking for a relationship with him, not a pity date! Dumb bitch."
"Quatre?"
I snapped out of my daze and looked at Trowa, I had twisted his Valentine's Day card in half.
"Yes?" I said in a tight voice.
"Are you okay?"
"Fine." I said with a forced smile.
If Trowa had picked up on my obvious anger, he ignored it.
"Okay, so should I pick you up at seven?" he asked, actually looking at me.
"Um, seven would be great." I said so high that my voice cracked.
Trowa gave small nod and walked away as I stood in a daze.
"Did Duo's idea just work?"

~~*Author's Note*~~ Hiya people! Thanks for all the reviews! Sorry if this chapter wasn't as funny, I had to put a little more plot in, so there was less time for funny stuff. Gomen! Heh, there goes my self esteem out the window again. I really should work on that. Anywho, thanks and keep telling me what you think!! -BlackStar
