Okays, I know that this should have come out Decades ago, n I'm terribly sorry and hope you'll forgive me, but sadly life got in the way. Life meaning mainly a TON of school work, some probs at home, and me going thru. A fit of depression which pretty much killed all desire to write, and I've just gotten back into the swing of things recently.
*sighs* now, all back to my happy perky self I'm quite willing to torture our favourite bishouen in this twisted little plot of mine! Muhaa ha!!! N we have a little duo Heero action happening at the end of this chapter, with relena slowsly on her way out of the picture ^________^
n so I give you,
Chapter Nine
Duo
I'm stunned. This place is fucking HUGE! A mansion!
"Come on I'll take you in" Jeremy says offering his arm to Relena. It's then that I notice Heero's absence and look up just in time to watch him walk; well actually stalk would be a better word, into the house. I'm beginning to wonder what the hell is wrong with him, and now I have Relena glaring daggers at me again. Ergh! I hate this.
I follow the pair inside, my mind made up,
"First chance I get, I'm grilling him for information."
Heero
"What a confusing day" I mutter as I enter my empty room, before heading to the bed and continuing my monologue,
"Jeremy can play the host for a bit, after all they're his guests. Didn't even ask me if it was all right with me, ergh.. Why did he have to invite Relena? I mean, yea she's pretty and all… but I don't feel like talking to her…at least Duo is here…well, somewhere in the house, and if we could avoid Relena I might actually be able to talk to him."
My eyes automatically flicker over to a picture of us together from the end of the war. I can feel my lips curve upwards in a slight smile. It had been surprisingly nice living with him as I adjusted to "normal" life.
"Heero! YO Hee-man!" I hear him shout from somewhere outside.
"Duo" I whisper to the room, well let the little street rat find me on his own. I'm not giving my position away. Why? Simple, I don't feel like talking to Relena right now, and if I say anything she'll be here in a flash.
I wander over to my laptop, and boot it up. Duo should be able to figure out where I am… after all he is experienced in stealth and tracking.
Sighing I pull the computer into my lap as I lean back against the headboard, hands moving on automatic, to check my e-mail.
I was nearly done when I heard a light rapping on the door,
"Bout time" I stated as I wandered over to the door, opening it to reveal, not my brunette friend, but a blonde haired bombshell.
"Heero!" she gushed, her arms slipping about my neck, as she lips pressed against mine. I returned her kiss, then drew back for air.
"is this your room" she questioned stepping around me to plop down on the bed.
"Hn" I grunted in reply, sticking my head out the door to look up and down the hallway before closing the door. 'Where is that baka?' I thought to myself as I settled on the window bench.
Duo
I stealthily made my way down the hall, trying to determine which of the many rooms would be his, when I heard a high pitched feminine squeal which could only have come from Relena.
I groaned, knowing that she must have found him already.
"Great buddy, you must be slowing down" I muttered to myself as I rounded a corner just in time to see a flash of pink fly through a door.
I paused, unsure if I wanted to continue or not. Thinking for a moment, hot waves of jealousy shot through my body as I thought of everything that could be going on behind that door; determined not to let it take place I stormed up to the door and threw it open a good natured grin upon my face.
"Found ya!" I exclaimed to the room eyes focusing on Heero's face as an expression of relief flitted across his features before they settled back into his normal passive mask. Relena on the other hand was less than happy to see me judging by the dark glare she threw my way.
"Hey Relena" I greeted her, walking into the room to sit down in the office chair. "Not interrupting something am I?" I questioned looking from one to the other, as I struggled to suppress my laughter as Relena's glare only darkened in disapproval.
"Relena" Heero stated shifting our attention to the object of our mutual affection, "could you leave? I have to talk to Duo"
I nearly laughed as her jaw dropped, "but.. But Heero can't you just talk about it with me here?" she pleaded
I leaned back in the chair, arms crossing casually over my chest as he glared at her,
"No, its Preventors business" he commented standing then to usher her out.
I nearly felt sorry for her as her face fell in disappointment. Yeps, another part of his life that she wasn't a part of, and yet another place I had an advantage.
I watched as he turned his attention back to me, his posture relaxing slightly. I grinned at him before asking,
"All right Heero, what's up?"
He stood there looking at me for I don't know how long. I watched him, how he stood tense in his uncertainty, his eyes intent upon my face as if he were trying to burn holes in my skin.
"Heero, are you all right?" I questioned, as I patted the empty bed motioning for him to sit.
"Duo, I don't know if finding my family was really such a great idea" I heard him say, for the first time ever sounding unsure of himself. I turned to look at him, studying the anxious expression that flitted briefly across his features before his face settled back into its usual study of non-expression.
"What do you mean?" I questioned as he sat beside me, "did something bad happen?"
Heero looked at me blankly, his eyes widening to nearly twice their normal size, and crystal tears leaked from their corners.
Once again I stared on in shock, my fingers reaching out to wipe away the wetness as it trailed down his fine boned cheeks.
"Oh god Duo, I killed him" Heero murmured
"Who? Who did you kill?" I whispered, gently wrapping my arm about his waist, selfishly relishing in the contact.
"My grandfather, Duo.. I killed him when I shot down the shuttle" and then his head was buried in my chest as he truly let himself cry for what must have been the first time in his life. Stunned into silence I did the only thing I could think of and pulled him even closer to myself, my arms wrapping possessively around him, as my hands gently stroked his hair, and his back.
"Shhh Heero, everything will be all right. I'm here" I soothed, and as he tried to bury himself further into my chest I added, "I'm not going anywhere"
Please R&R to let me know what you think, and the more reviews the faster the next part shall appear!
