Note's: It's in Heero's POV. Sorry for not posting for so long, I've become
a better writer in my opinion and loathed the thought of posting the better
with the sucky. Yet I decided that posting would be nice to anyone who
still checks up on me to see if I continued or not so here it is. There are
some real shocking things revealed in this chapter and still more shocking
events to come.
I jerked from my musings with a groan, and glared at nothing in particular.
Normally when one daydreams of a fantasy come true they don't imagine the
real way they'd react, but of coarse I would. Damn me to Hell.
Why is it I can't have a normal fantasy like everyone else?
I was about to go into my musings again when a familiar voice called my name.
"Heero? Heero I know you're here I can feel your presence." The Arabian called to me.
I would have jumped if not for my training, he always managed to catch me off guard, but at a safe distance unlike some braided people I knew. I slowly turned and peeked around the corner I was hiding behind. I was quickly rewarded with a smile from my blond friend.
He'd grown I realized quickly, just as tall as me actually. Smaller than his Father and twenty some sisters, but it was nice to be able to look straight into someone' s eyes. He was wearing a tan jacket that fell to his waist, and the rest was his normal attire. Quatre was much more masculine looking now, he'd filled out well the past few years; less like the innocent child one would perceive him as and more like the adult he'd taken role of so early in his life. Blond hair hung in his eyes elegantly and there was no trace of the cherub cheeks. I also noted, to myself of coarse, that his voice was deeper and quite the sexy thing. When I'd called him the other day I'd been too preoccupied with the news to notice this before.
"Long times no see Heero, and thanks." He replied without me having to speak aloud.
The two of us had an understanding that we had obtained during the war, he feels and knows what I'm thinking and thus I needn't say anything. It was nice at times not needing to speak, and other times I would have preferred talking before being asked or replied to, one of those times being now.
"It's okay Quatre, I know you're sorry." I smiled slightly. It wasn't often one was able to beat him to the punch line- so to speak. "When are the others coming, are they coming?" I asked.
"Of coarse they are. I just persuaded them to come." He ended slyly.
"In other words you black mailed them," he nodded. "I knew I could count on you to get the job done."
"What would you expect from a multi billion business man Heero. I didn't get here just because I'm cute you know." He replied matter-of -factly.
"Of coarse you didn't, you got there by ways of dirty blackmail you imp. I feel sorry for Trowa." I shot back a bit pleased with myself.
He just stuck his tongue out at me and then quickly composed himself as footsteps could be heard. I was nervous now, though I'd never admit it to anyone, well willingly anyway. I shot Quatre a look, that would have caved the strongest man, but gained me a stolen cheeky look. (1) I growled to myself, obviously Mr. Business Man had a shadowy partner in crime, so that's how he operated. (2)
I was about to ask if it were true or not when Wufei, whom I thought it'd be, entered. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves; there was no need to throttle the man for my stupidity. Speaking of man, Wufei was certainly so. I never considered Wufei womanly to begin with, but time had done him justice, as he would say.
Wufei was taller than expected, lets say defying all science tall. He had become taller than me! That wasn't the only shocking thing either; his hair was longer than last I had seen Duo's, and he had it partly up the rest hanging freely; something that never occurred. He wore a black jacket that hung to his ankles, a navy blue button shirt, and white slacks. Hands in his pockets he stopped in front of me and nodded. Wufei's normal arrogance still in his every move and gesture.
I was thankful that he hadn't come closer; from where he stood I didn't have to look up at him. Wufei was a good foot above me and that alone puzzled my mind, let alone Duo was nowhere to be seen. I heard Quatre snicker and glared at his lack of consideration to my privacy. I received an apologetic look and that was all.
"Wufei how-"I began to ask.
"My colony wanted to start a generation of taller Chinese men so they experimented. I suppose it finally worked considering how I tall I've become." He interrupted and shrugged.
I just nodded, it made since. Wufei's colony cluster had been rumored to be dabblers in genetics, and he was proof of such rumors. I looked up to see Trowa walk in next to Milliardo Peacecraft formally know as Zechs Marquis. I narrowed my eyes and was about to ask why he'd come as well when Wufei answered my question.
"You were absent from our luncheon. I'm glad Barton was able to find you." He shot at the equally tall blond.
"Forgive me for having a little sister who doesn't like my choice in lovers." He replied dryly.
The information slowly sunk in and my eyes went wide. Did I understand this correctly, or did he mean someone else? I couldn't help but stare at the tall prince in astonishment, and before I could correct my mannerism, Milliardo had something to say about it.
"You should close your mouth Mr. Yuy, you could catch flies." He smirked and I quickly glared at him.
"Is it all that shocking Heero?" Quatre asked curiously.
"Last time I saw the two of you the both of you were at each others throats, and you were with Duo." I replied.
"Yes well things change Yuy." Answered Wufei a little bitterly.
Did they have a falling out? (3)
"What he means to say is: we realized that we'd be better at sucking face not ripping them off." My eyes widened at that comment coming from Peacecraft, but I quickly masked it.
Things certainly did change if these last few minuets were any indication at all. Wufei was taller than me, not with Duo, AND with Milliardo Peacecraft. Milliardo was still his suave self but he had a side I hadn't known existed. Quatre was older looking, more mature, and from the peck on the cheek from Trowa still with him. At least that hadn't changed. I was starting to worry that Duo may be highly changed as well, but soon was corrected as said man walked in.
"The fun has arrived!! Thanks for the applause you're to much really." He said in his usual spunk and charm.
I couldn't help but smile a little at the man I loved. He as well had grown taller than me; his hair was to his knees, braided, and swung jollily behind him. He seemed to still be in love with black, because all he was wearing was black and a white T-shirt. Duo had lost his child like appearance and had a very American face structure. He was older and had lost his womanly structure, don't get me wrong he still had curves that no man should have, but they were less apparent.
"Hey He-chan!!" He called to me waving madly.
I cringed at the hated nickname. Yes I had missed his voice, yes I had missed the name, but that did not mean I had to like the damn thing now did it? Before I could reply he grabbed me from the ground and hugged me tight, then quickly let go.
"It's been awhile ol' friend." He said a bit more calmly.
"Yes it has." I replied stupidly.
Yet another question that must be answered before I die: Why must the brain not function correctly when in the presence of one's crush? If I had my way I'd find the answer long before my death. Though having my luck, I would never know.
I sighed heavily as all the questions I'd accumulated just in the last few moments made themselves known. This was going to be a long and complicated reunion if this small meeting was any indication at all. I took a deep breath and began my lie.
"I thought we should all see each other again, before it's to late."
"To... late?" Duo asked.
"Yes that's what I said. What if one of you gets in a really bad fight with another of our small group. You might not want to see the other and that could cause conflicts for the rest of," I paused and quickly continued, thwarting Quatre's comment. "Those of us without black mail ability that is."
I watched everyone for reactions of unbelief of my excuse for the slip up I'd made but saw none. That was a good thing, I did not want to explain what the real reason was at this time and I didn't plan to ever. The thought of explaining it to Quatre had been hard enough at the time; I did not think I could have made it through the explanation in front of everyone.
"Well now that we are here what shall we do?" Duo asked calmly.
Quatre once again answered for me. "I have a place that I suggested to Heero and he agreed. It's all set and ready for us. I hope none of you mind going to a restaurant that I'm backing."
None of coarse minded when the question came from Quatre, so we all left to start are get to know each other party. I just hoped the subject of what I'd been doing the past few years didn't come up, but I knew that that was a slim chance to expect.
T.B.C. & (2)—These comments were referring to Duo the braided one.
(3)—This is so obvious no? A/N: Ha Ha!! I had you all fooled didn't I? You thought that Duo really did kiss him huh? If you didn't I apologize for my happy outburst. Well stay tuned for the events to come.
Why is it I can't have a normal fantasy like everyone else?
