chp. 6: Shall we Dance?
It was two days until the Christmas holiday, and Duo jumped with excitement at the thought of spending it with Heero, who had gotten permission from Odine to stay behind for vacation. Julie had agreed, on the condition that the two boys refrain from groping each other too much in front of her. Both Duo and Heero accepted her conditions, knowing that they could grope each other as much as they wanted to when they were alone.
The holidays weren't the only thing that Duo was excited about either. It was the Christmas dance that he was looking forward to the most. He had been formally asked to go by Heero, who was his official boyfriend, much to the delight or scorn of others. It had been the sweetest way Duo had been asked out, and he would damned if he would ever forget it.
Heero had somehow managed to clear out everything from Duo's locker, which was a feat in itself, and had left a single red rose with a red ribbon tied around it hanging from the top shelf. There had been a small engraved card attached to the string that held the flower, and it had read simply:
Duo,
would you do me the honor of
attending the Christmas dance
with me?
luv Heero
When Duo had finished reading it, he had felt Heero standing behind him, and he had turned around to fling himself at his lover. With a cheer of encouragement from their friends around them, Duo planted a huge kiss on Heero's mouth, making the boy blush fiercely.
That had been four days ago, and Duo was just now on his way home from running a quick errand for Julie, almost running home to get ready for the dance later that night. Usually held on the last day of school before the break, the dance had been pushed two days forward so that the students could have a days recovery before going back for the last day to collect their holiday homework. Which was a drag, but had to be done or the students would find themselves totally screwed when they came back to a test on what they were supposed to have learned.
At least I can enlist in the help of Heero, Duo thought as he stopped to double check that he had gotten everything that Julie had asked for, he's soo much better at this homework crap than me.
Nodding to himself that he had everything, Duo shrugged further into his winter jacket and began crossing the street. Suddenly, there was a screech of tires, blaring lights and a loud horn................... then nothing. Only blackness.
( I hate to leave you like this, but my brain is running on empty right now......... so I'll have to get back to you with the next chapter! )
