When The World Stops Turning
Chapter 2
It started out just like any other day only Duo was heading to a different class instead of French before lunch, it was now creative writing.
'This is going to be easy honestly' Duo thought.
As he entered the class he blinked he had to if he hadn't he would have been trapped by those beautiful cobalt blue eyes.
Some one was calling him, but it sounded so distant, soon he found himself face to face with the teacher, she introduced him to the class and sits him right next to-
"Heero Yuy" said Mrs. Motosuwa. (1)
"Yes Mrs. Motosuwa."
"Would you be so kind as to show Duo Maxwell all the notes till now?"
"Yes, it would be my pleasure." Heero emphasized the word pleasure.
Heero takes out his notebook and hands it to Duo.
"It's not very neat, but it's readable, borrow it if you have to." was all Heero said.
Duo took the notebook making sure to "accidentally" brush his hand against Heero's. He saw Heero out of the corner of his eye.
Duo was smiling he couldn't help it, he was sitting next to Heero.
"Cute." said Heero.
"Huh?" Duo blinked.
"Oh nothing." Heero said with a smirk.
"Yes...." Duo whispered a few seconds later.
"Uhh...What ?" asked Heero.
"You're staring." Duo tried to whisper, but sounded husky instead.
"Sorry...not use to seeing new students, funny though you think you'd see a lot of them with the schools good rep." whispered Heero.
"That's ok, I get that a lot when I go to a new school." said Duo.
"Heero Yuy and Duo Maxwell out side now if you can't keep it to a whisper." demanded Mrs. Motosuwa.
"Yes Mrs. Motosuwa!" they said and both went outside.
"So do you move a lot?" asked Heero.
"Well yeah, I mean it's not like my parents are in the army or navy or anything they just like to move a lot because they can. They promised we'd stay in one place longer then three months, which is amazing because they kept to that promise." Duo said while leaning against the wall.
"How many schools have you been to?"
"Well let me think umm..........about six or eight. I don't know, don't keep track anymore no use." Duo slightly laughed.
"Guess not...........you seeing anyone?" Heero looked Duo up and down.
Duo looked at Heero and smiled.
"Why ya asking?"
"No reason." said Heero.
"Oh.........how about you?" asked Duo.
"No one as of yet."
"Well in that case me neither. " Duo beamed.
"What do you mean 'in that case'?"
"I didn't want to let you think I was some kind of loser who can't get a significant other. I mean it's kind of hard to have a relationship when you move a lot." Duo had strangely lowered his voice while saying that.
"You care what I think?" Heero actually sounded surprised.
"Well you're the first person I've met in this class and I want to make a good impression." Duo winked one eye in Heero's direction.
"Uhhh...the teacher said to come back in now." said some boy with blond hair.
As they took their seats the teacher called out names.
"What she doing?" asked Duo.
"Rachel Allaman." called the teacher.
"She's handing back evaluations." said Heero.
"Amy Amery." Called the teacher.
"Evaluations?" Duo looked confused.
"Trowa Barton." Called the teacher.
"Of our last poems." stated Heero.
"Oh." was all Duo said as he watched the person in front of him return to his seat.
"So what'd you get ..er.. Trowa?" Duo asked the guy in front of him while looking at the name on the paper.
"A three, better then the one I got last time." said Trowa.
"Heero Yuy." called the teacher.
"So how's the grading scale?" Duo asked honestly interested.
"Ten being the highest one being the lowest." said Trowa as he tuned to sit properly in his desk.
"So what'd ya get Heero." Duo asked.
"A five." Heero cringed.
"Ooh not much of the poet are we?" Duo teased.
Heero was just about to choke Duo when the bell rang for lunch and Duo was gone quicker then he could realize it.
Duo was practically glowing as he took a seat in between Hanarina and Montra-Lee.
"I guess creative writing went well Mr. Duo." said Kiley.
Duo gave a goofy smile and nodded.
"Not well, amazing!" said Duo.
"Pray Tell." (2) said Hassan.
"I sit right next to Heero and right behind some hot guy with long bangs."
" I see," said Hana who looked at Lee and nodded once. "his condition has worsened." continued Hana.
"I do agree." added Kiley.
The rest of the day passed by like a blur.
Dear Diary,
It's about 9:55 five till lights out. Today has just become the best one of my life, you see when I went to my new class I got to sit next to Heero who I'll be sitting next to for the whole year. The best part is we actually talked. Better yet, I think he's into me he was asking me if I was dating any one. We also talked about other stuff, which isn't important, besides the fact that I think he likes me, I think he likes me. Well, I'm gonna see if I can get some sleep so write ya later.
Duo out.
Duo was about two minutes into his attempt to sleep when Cal came in and started to change.
"Where're you going?" questioned Duo.
"Out." said Cal.
"Let me come." said Duo.
"No." growled Cal.
"I'll tell the principle." Duo threatened.
"Liar." hissed Cal.
"I never lie." stated Duo like it was a fact that everyone knew.
Cal looked at Duo.
"Fine you got five, staring now!"
Duo jumped up and grabbed an assortment of clothing and shot off to the bathroom.
Five minutes later
Duo came out of the bathroom wearing a black shirt cut an inch above his belly button, with leather pants, which clung to his hips. Sporting black boots with buckles lining up to the top, he also wore a black jacket that went down to his ankles with two slits on either side so it split into three pieces all the while his hair cascading (his hair is still in a braid, but it would look nice flowing.) down a little past his butt.
"Ready!" said Duo.
"Ya." was all Cal could say while gawking at Duo "lets go."
As they left the room they crept through the still hall careful not to wake anyone with hard footsteps. Soon they were outside near the far right side of the school. Now their pace was more casual, eventually Duo saw a figure behind the equipment room near the fence, it was Heero.
"What is he doing here?" asked Heero.
"He said he'd squeal to the principle if I didn't bring him."
"Fine." said Heero.
Heero throws a rope over the wall and climbs over Cal goes right after him then Duo. Heero and Cal start to walk off without Duo.
"Hey wait up!" yelled Duo.
"Look we didn't invite you to come." said Cal.
"But you let me come." stated Duo.
"It wasn't an invitation to follow us, now leave." said Heero.
"Fine by me I have to go somewhere anyway."
"Then why are you still following us?" Cal sounded annoyed with Duo.
"Just for your information the road I'm going to is the same way you're going, in fact it's right there and I'm going left not right like you two."
Duo crossed the street and continued to walk until he got to the place he needed to be, a place called. "Links Copy and Business Supply"
Duo walks up to the front counter
" Umm....is Lyrics here tonight?" Duo asked a bit hesitant.
"Depends on what ya want." said the guy with pal purple hair.
"Look I kind of need a fake ID that's all." said Duo.
"Well in that case follow me and I'll hook ya up, oh and I'm Lyrics.
"Cool...I think."
"So how old ya wanna be?" asked Lyrics.
"Umm... Twenty-one as of yesterday" replied Duo as he smiled.
"Reason being?" asked Lyrics as he took Duo's picture.
"I look young if I say I'm older, they might not believe me."
"Point in take."(3) said Lyrics.
"You'll have to wait 'bout thirty minutes before it will be done so lets kill time. Know how to play poker?" Lyrics smiled as he pulled out a set of cards.
30 minutes later
"Oh My God if I had money on this game I'd be broke." Lyrics complained.
"In a way you did, I get the ID for free." stated Duo.
"Oh speaking of which it should be done by now." Lyrics said as he left to the back room and returned in a matter of seconds.
"Here ya go Duo enjoy your first night at the clubs."
"Sure as hell will, oh but would you know were the nearest umm....gay bar is at?" asked Duo slightly awkward.
"Ya just turn right go straight till ya hit Wilker blvd. Then make a left go straight till ya hit Main go right and walk down past the Pond Shop. Go till you see the old Tower Theater then it's the next block over, ya can't miss it." Lyrics waved as Duo left.
Soon Duo arrived at the club and got in with no trouble. As he entered he saw various cute guys at least to his standers. He immediately went to the bar and sat trying to decide what to drink.
"Uhh.... I'll have I guess a Bloody Mary." Duo cringed at first, but continued to drink getting use to the taste than he had one after another. A long while and resisting about sixteen or so guys later he saw a familiar head of hair and jumped to find it or the body belonging to it in the crowd, finally bumping in to Heero.
"Watch where the hell you're going." growled Heero.
"Heero, why you gotta be so mean to me?" Duo said or kind of whined.
Heero blinked a few times. 'he's....drunk'
"Lets dance Heero." said/slurred Duo as he started to dance not letting go of Heero's hand till he was sure he wouldn't ditch him.
They danced for what seemed like hours to the both of them Heero couldn't help but watch Duo as he danced; Duo was so attractive he was practically glowing with desire. But was so easily giving off signals that he was a virgin without even knowing it as each time he pressed up against Duo he'd blush. (Maybe it's the liquor)
Duo could feel Heero's eyes on him, but his eyes were also on Heero's body. The more he looked at Heero the hotter he seemed and the more he wanted him and the hotter his body felt. Every time Heero pressed against him not leaving a gap between them other then their lips, which he desperately wanted to claim, Heero always by passed his lips.
This wouldn't last very long as Cal caught sight of the two basically filling the atmosphere with lust and need.
"Look it's getting late and neither of us will get any with him here." whispered Cal to Heero.
"I'd agree, but I'm in the middle of something here." said Heero.
"HEERO YUY!" Cal yelled. (Wow)
"Got ya." said Heero. (he listened)
Heero caught Duo's arm and dragged him away from the dance floor.
"So who's gonna take him, he can't very well go by himself?" said Cal.
"Not me is all I know." stated Heero.
"No way am I gonna take him." hissed Cal.
"I'm not the one who let him come."
Duo managed to walk away from the conversation or was it an argument and sat at the bar.
"Hey aren't you in my creative writing class?" slurred Duo.
"Yes." said the other teenaged boy. (How these teens managed it I don't know)
"So what ya drinking?" Duo squinted his eyes to see the contents of the glass.
"The strongest drink they got."
"Well bartender I'll have what he's got." hollered Duo.
Duo drank the whole thing in under forty seconds.
"Good!" giggled Duo.
"Trowa...how long have you been here?" asked Heero.
"About since it opened." said Trowa sipping his drink.
"Four hours is a long time to be here, how about you go home and take Duo with you?" said Cal.
"You know, you could just take advantage of the situation, I mean he won't remember any of it tomorrow or anything." said Heero.
"Fine I'll take him home, but I'm not gonna take advantage of him, I'm not you Yuy." Trowa said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" growled Heero.
"Exactly what it sounds like, now Duo get up I'm gonna take you home".
Duo looked up and stopped playing with his empty cup totally oblivious to the conversation at hand.
"Really! Cool lets go!" said Duo grabbing Trowa's wrist and falling bringing Trowa with him to the floor.
"Great the blind leading the blind." said Cal walking off.
"But were not blind just drunk!" giggled Duo.
"Uhh... I don't think that's what he meant." said Trowa as he attempted to get him and Duo to their feet, and walk out of the club.
They waked together supporting each others weight all the way back to the school, they went to Duo's room first.
"Trowa, has anyone ever told you, you have a pretty eye."
"I'm not a cyclopes Duo I have another eye."
"In that case." Duo brushed Trowa's bangs to the side, off his face so he could see both eyes clearly.
Trowa for the first time felt extremely exposed like he was standing naked in front of the complete student body, only it was just Duo. He wasn't sure what to say, slowly he leaned in and gently kissed Duo. Trowa couldn't help but get lost in Duos eyes, slowly they parted lips.
"I....I....goodnight" said Trowa as he ran down eight doors and into his room shutting and locking the door behind himself.
Duo stood in the doorway for a second then everything went black.
Duo woke up with an extreme headache and a sore back as he opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the backside of the door.
'Shit I must have passed out the second I got in the room, but how did I get here? The last thing I remember was me dancing with Heero. Ahhh that was wonderful'
"How do you feel?" asked Cal..
"Like hell warmed over." replied Duo. (or is it froze over)
"Sorry about the bump on your head. You feel asleep right behind the door so I accidentally kept banging the backside of the door on your head without knowing it (4) until the door opened." Cal smiled as he finished.
"I don't think I'm gonna go to first or second today." groaned Duo as he got in his bed after removing his clothing minus his boxers, and went to sleep.
Dear Diary,
Damn the world and all the fucking sounds it makes. Talk about everything being amplified, I've been laying in bed for most of the day I think I'm just gonna sleep the rest of the day away. I don't even think I could eat, I feel like my stomach is doing back flips, shit got to go.
Duo out of commission.
Duo quickly ran to the bathroom and shut the door.
During lunch
Quatre and Trowa were sitting quietly under a tree.
"So would it be rude if I was to ask why you seem so happy this afternoon?" Quatre asked between bites of his sub-sandwich.
Quatre stopped eating his sandwich and looked at Trowa like he was trying to read his mind, but failing badly.
"Please." pleaded Quatre with big shinning eyes.
"Okay......." sighed Trowa.
"You remember that one new guy in my writing class I told you about?"
Quatre nodded in response while he continued to eat.
"Well..last night I ....he...we kissed" Trowa slightly blushed.
Quatre gasped, nearly chocking on his food.
"Seriously!" squealed Quatre after he managed to swallow the food he nearly chocked on.
Trowa nodded " but..he was drunk so he won't remember."
"Oh." said Quatre " I still think you have a chance."
Trowa shrugged
"The only problem is he's so hung up on Heero."
"I know." said Trowa.
"Eventually, I think he's gonna see through him." Quatre said before sipping his drink.
"Or at least his game." stated Trowa.
"The thing is, I think he does consider it as a game, the sad part is...he doesn't care who he hurts in the process as long as he got some."
"I've already lost." said Trowa as he got up and walked off.
Quatre just watched as Trowa walked towards the elevator to the rooms, he knew he was not going to the rest of his classes.
"I really whish he wouldn't lock himself away like that." Quatre said to himself.
On another side of the school sitting on a bench beneath a tree sat Heero and Cal.
"So what do you think of Duo?"
"Well since your asking me, I think he's desperate." said Cal munching into his salami sandwich.
"Meaning." Heero started to sip at his Mr. Pibb.
"That he'd probably do anything to keep you if he got you and would believe what ever you told him." Cal grabbed Heero's soda and took a drink.
"Easy." said Heero the exact moment the bell rang.
"Sometimes, I don't think you realize how easily you turn me on." Cal quickly pulled Heero behind one of the bushes.
They removed each other cloths faster then they could get them on in the morning. Sadly one of the yard duty teachers saw this and walked over to were Cal and Heero sat just seconds before, and looked over the bush only to find their garbage and...socks?
"Those two...one of these days I swear I'm gonna catch them in the yard instead of finding them in the equipment room." the yard duty teacher picked up the trash and walked off. Growing tired of Heero and Cal's "eagerness" as he liked to call it.
One: Think Hideki Motosuwa, I've been reading Chobits and I ran out of names to use at the moment.
Two: Ever since I read Gundam Babylon I say that a lot.
Three: Another thing I say it means, I get your point and I accept it.
Four: That happened to my cousin only he was in the bathroom.
A/N: So that went well don't you think for the only person reading this so far and the only person who reviewed the first chpt thanks this was for you .
Next Chapter
How hard is it to make a poem anyways. Has Duo finally got Heero's attention? Is Trowa in love with someone he just met? I think Wufei makes an appearance now. And I hope Duo's hangover went well.
