Chapter 2: Crossing Paths
Heero trudged down the street. His weekend had been the worst ever, in his opinion at least. First that stupid concert, and that guy. Then his parents had decided to go on one of their random vacations, leaving him home alone once again. Half the time he felt like an orphan, considering the amount of time he actually spent with them. Also he had ignored the 20 times Trowa and Wufei had tried to call him.
He clenched his fist, praying that no one else had been at that concert to see him make a fool of himself. In the distance OZ High School came into view. He squinted, seeing a mass of black around the front gates. Confused he cautiously approached and his eyes widened as he spotted the 30 plus reporters and camera crew members huddled outside the gates.
What the fuck?! Why the hell were there reporters there? Eyeing them he slowly passed through the front gates but they gave him no heed. One glanced at him and he sneered, successfully scaring the woman and making her back away very fast.
Now in an even worse mood he entered the school and hurried to his locker. To his horror there was an even bigger mob surrounding the area where his locker was located. The mass was so thick he couldn't see what the commotion was about. Grumbling about bad karma first thing in the morning he started to push through the crowd. This situation brought bad memories of a certain concert that he didn't want to think about. So lost in his thoughts he didn't realize he'd reached the middle of the crowd where there was an open circle till he tripped and fell to the ground hard.
Yup it's bad karma. People around him were laughing and snickering. Heero just wanted to become invisible and sink into the floor. Sudden anger coursed through him and he jumped to his feet growling and ready to kill anyone who dared to laugh at him. People stepped back as he sent them his trade mark death glare, others just straight up turned and ran.
"What the fuck is going on here anyway?!" He growled out, eyes snapping in his loss of patience.
"Ummm I can explain that." Heero turned as the crowd parted showing a stony faced Trowa and Wufei, and next to them stood the members of Dark Rhapsody. He felt the blood rush out of his face as his eyes landed on the black clothed boy in front of him.
"What the fuck.............." The air rushed out of him, as if he was a balloon that had just been popped. His mind scrambled for a logical reason for that boy to be there but came up short.
"We go to school here now." The blonde he slightly recognized as Quatre said. The small boy glanced at Trowa then looked away. Heero watched dumbly as Trowa took the smaller boys hand and squeezed it gently. His friends were suddenly all buddy and buddy with these rock stars, like overnight! His mind kept racing around and around in circles, making him feel dizzy. He trained his face into its usual emotionless mask and glared at them.
"Well isn't that so nice for you." He said coldly and turned his back on them to open his locker. "If you'll excuse me." Grabbing his books he slammed the metal door shut and turned to leave when an arm shot out and blocked his path. Cold cobalt eyes glared into warm amethyst.
"Hey don't be that way." Duo voice slid over him like honey, bring back memories of dancing together. Heero glared harder at the boy. "We can all be friends! I'll even sing a song for you!" The braided boy acted like it was the greatest offer in the world. Heero scoffed at him, smacking his hand away, making the hit sound worse than it actually was.
"I don't need you to do anything for me." He growled giving the boy one last look. "Besides your singing sucks anyway." He turned and rushed away, not catching the chestnut haired boy momentary crestfallen look.
*********
Duo plastered a smile back on his face, masking the effect that the hurtful comment had on him. He rubbed the back of his head absently, grinning and turned to face the 3 boys behind him.
"That went well." He said more happily than he felt. The three stared worriedly at him, almost making his smile falter. "What's with the glum looks?"
"Duo..."Quatre started, feeling how much the comment had affected his friend. "He was wrong, you are a great singer."
"Don't mind him Duo." Trowa said rubbing Quatre's palm with gently fingers. "He's still mad about the whole concert thing. And besides he kinda hates people that sing."
Duo eyes the two, raising an eyebrow at there lovey dovey nature. The two blushed and snatched their hands back, looking at each other nervously. Suddenly Trowa's last comment hit him. "Why does he hate singers?"
"Ummmmm..." Trowa suddenly seemed very interested in the wall.
"It's something personal." Wufei spoke up for the first time. He had watched the whole exchange with amusement. It is justice that Trowa and the blonde get together! "You'll have to ask Heero himself."
Duo looked wistfully down the hall where the chocolate boy had disappeared and sighed. "If I ever get that chance."
**********
Heero sat lazily in the branches of the cherry tree behind the school. One leg dangled off, swinging back and forth. It was now 4th period, he should have been in English class but due to the fact he shared that class with Trowa and Wufei he didn't feel compelled to go today. He was hurt that his friends had so easily ditched him for there idols. So what if the two boys were famous? Him and Trowa and Wufei had been through so much together how could they ditch him now?
The bell rang, echoing around the yard, soon students would be streaming out to eat their lunch. Usually he would meet up with Trowa and Wufei at this time and they would eat on the far hill. But something told him that his two friends would be eating with other people, ones he didn't want to see. Grumbling he closed his eyes, deciding to take a nap instead.
"He wasn't in English, I guess he's not going to meet us for lunch either." Heero's eyes snapped open as he heard Trowa's voice right below him. He carefully rolled over and looked down. Sitting right below him in the grass were the 4 boys. He cursed silently, looking for a way to escape without the boys seeing him, of all days for them to switch spots to eat!
"He is pretty mad at us." Wufei's voice drifted up to Heero's hiding spot. He scooted back farther on the branch, if any of them looked up he was screwed! His back hit the trunk and the branch shook. He watched in horror as a few pink petals broke off and fell onto the unsuspecting boys.
One fell on Duo's nose and he sneezed, rubbing his face. Heero sighed in relief that the boy didn't look up. Slowly he stood, balancing on the branch and cautiously stepped over to another branch that was on the other side of the tree. Now that he had a tree between him and them he closed his eyes and relaxed, almost laughing at how stupid he was acting.
"Hey guys it's really hot here in the sunlight, why don't we move to the other side in the shade." Heero's eyes snapped open in horror and he watched sullenly as the boys appeared in view and sat right below him again.
Bad karma, bad karma, bad karma, bad karma, bad karma, bad karma, bad karma! He repeated the mantra in his head, willing the lunch period to end. He then tried to step back to the other branch, hoping that the boys would stay on that side of the tree. Suddenly his foot slipped and he felt himself falling.
Duo heard a strangled shout above him and looked up curiously only to see Heero falling toward him very fast. His eyes widened and he tried to roll out of the way only to have 120 pounds of teenager fall on his back, crushing the air from his lungs. Duo felt like his body had just been imprinted 2 inches into the ground. He gasped, trying in vain to refill his lungs. Suddenly the weight lifted from him and he coughed, willing air back into his lungs. Rolling over onto his back he groaned weakly, he could hear the other boys yelling but it was all muddled. He caught a flash of messy chocolate brown hair and hard cobalt eyes before everything faded to black
