Chapter 8

Duo

I watched Heero kiss the pink bitch from my homeroom window my hands clenching tightly.

God how I hated her, well… that was being a little strong; I hated the fact that she was taking Heero's attention away from ME!

I fumed silently, as I watched them; Heero offering her his arm as he escorted her through the crowd which miraculously parted before her.

"She's pretty isn't she, not the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen but pretty…" a soft voice stated

"huh?... what? I mean … what was that?" I rambled as I stepped away from the window, instantly realizing it was Jeremy that had spoken

"just, that there are other fish in the sea besides Relena" I stared at him, What the? He thought I liked Relena? I remained silent digesting this fact,

Me and Relena? The Barbie want to be queen? I couldn't hold it in any longer and was soon laughing my ass off!

"umm… are you alright?" Jeremy asked me, the puzzled expression on his face prompting yet another outburst of laughter.

"oh my god!" I gasped out between chuckles "you thought I liked Relena?" I continued to laugh, forcing myself to sit so that I wouldn't fall flat on my face.

"huh? You don't?"

"hell no! I never have and I never will" I stated perhaps a little too venomously as Jeremy's eyes bulged in his face.

"sooo.. then why were you staring…" he began before trailing off

"oh…Heero?" he guessed

I looked down, hiding my eyes under my long bangs,

"yea, just he's my best friend and all…" I started to answer, as he tilted my chin up, thumb running gently down the side of my face, as I was forced to look him in the eyes.

"don't worry about it he'll always be your friend, even if he is dating Relena"  oook this guy was creepy, he was either a: just being nice, or b: was actually gay/bi and had no idea that I was too.

Basically he was the densest guy I'd ever met. He thought I was jealous because Relena was taking up Heero's time, but I guess it was better than having him know I'm bi and hating me or trying to hit on me depending on which way he swung.

"yea… I guess I'll be ok" I stated smiling at him before dashing out of the classroom as the bell rang, quickly hurrying towards where Heero and the pink wonder had vanished.

Heero

Are boyfriends supposed to want to kill their girl friends? I never noticed how much Relena talks before now. Her voice going on and on about peace conferences, meetings, evil waiters, and men that have been hitting on her. I wonder, how I'm supposed to react. Hmmm I have no idea.

"say Heero" a girl asks me jolting me from my thoughts,

"hn…" I grunt in response.

"would you mind if I took Relena off to the canteen??"

I looked up at her,

"sure, have fun Relena" I stated giving her a quick peck on the cheek before she raced off calling,

"see you later Heero!!" finally she was gone!

I sighed in relief as I walked towards the library to print off another copy of my essay, and the next thing I knew I was kissing pavement, with the sound of rich laughter ringing in my ear, and a brilliant chestnut braid in front of my face.

I rolled over shoving Duo off,

"Omae o korosu!" I growled glaring at him, as he doubled over with laughter, his fingers moving to tickle me. 

"Duo…" I growled in warning and since that had no affect I reached out, grasping his amazingly long rope of hair in my hand before pulling hard.

"ITAI!" he roared tears sprouting in his liquid violet pools.

"Heero what the hell was that for?" he demanded

I shrugged brushing past him, as I continued on my way. I didn't have time to fool around, and besides the baka should know better than to shove me face first into the ground.  

Duo

God my head hurts like crazy. I don't know how I can like Heero so much, he's such a bastard. Is he trying to pull my hair right out of my head? Like what the hell was all that for, I just knocked him over.

"Duo? Are you alright??" Jeremy asked me.

"yea I'm fine…" I stated my eyes fixed on Heero's perfect ass as he walked away.

 "stupid ass" I muttered as he turned the corner.

"yea.. he is an ass isn't he" Jeremy agreed, "come on, lets get something to eat"

I didn't reply just followed him towards the canteen muttering softly under my breath.

Heero

I glanced back from the library door to see Duo and Jeremy heading in the opposite direction. An alien emotion surged through me as I saw them laugh together as Jeremy tripped right into a garbage bin. I didn't know what it was but for some reason I felt like snatching Duo away from the world, and hiding him somewhere.

I shook my head,

"Snap out of it Heero." I muttered to myself as I entered the library.

Duo

Finally the day is over!!! And I've decided that Jeremy is a very cool, if somewhat dense guy, and he invited me over! Thank God!

I may actually get to talk to Heero now, and see what's stuck up his ass. He's been glaring at me, well not exactly at me, but in my general direction, and unless he's glaring at Jeremy he's pissed with me.

Oh well, he's a tough crowd to please so I won't worry about it!

Smiling I raced to the front gate, as the Lowe limo pulled up. The chauffeur opened the door and I quickly slipped inside to wait.

Heero

Finally I can escape her, I mentally cheered as I arrived at the limo. At least I thought I'd escaped her until I saw my brother escorting her towards the car.

"Heero, Relena's coming over tonight." Jeremy called.

I shrugged, as I slipped inside.

"Yo! Heero, watch where your sitting!" Duo's familiar voice demanded as he scooted over on the seat.

"gomen" I muttered plopping down beside him.

"no problem, oh! Relena I didn't know you were coming" I heard him say, his eyebrows creasing in a small frown of distaste. I smiled slightly to myself, at this new observation.

"hmm… I did not know you were going to be here either" Relena retorted stiffly.

Finally Jeremy slid in, a huge smile on his face.

"Well! Mother will be excited to meet you, Heero's best friend, and his girl friend in one night!" he chattered.

Duo

yep, Jeremy is definitely a thick one. Prattling on and on about how happy his mother will be to see us, Whatever. Stupid guy, doesn't even realize how much Relena and I dislike each other, and Heero, he's just sitting there ignoring everyone as usual.

Oooh the princess is glaring at me, guess three inches between me and Heero just isn't enough for her.

Heero

The tension in the limo is thick enough to cut with a butter knife, and I can feel the heat emanating off Duo's body. Oh God, every time he falls against me as we turn a corner, his hand brushing over my thigh as he stabilizers himself, and then his soft apology, It's so weird I feel a strange flutter in the pit of my stomach. 

I steal a glance at Relena, she looks a bit pissed, and I don't like the way she's glaring at Duo. I mean he hasn't done anything to her.

"We're here!" Jeremy exclaims pushing open the door, and hopping out.

I sit still in the car, watching Duo as he gets out on the other side, before I slowly slip out and walk into the house; leaving Jeremy and our guests behind me.

Plez review everyone, and I'll get part 9 out ASAP

1 more week off of skewl, and I'll have lots of day time to work in.

c yaz.
