Chapter Two: The Hope

A horrible, exhausting week has passed since Duo gave up on the "Perfect Soldier". He was still hurting incredibly, but it was mostly for another reason than of Heero Yuy. He had fallen for the blonde-haired, feminine-bodied Quatre Winner, who was currently an item with the mysterious Trowa Barton. Try as he might to actually get a moment alone with Quatre, Duo always found himself face to face with the no-named pilot. His hopes were starting to become dashed, but he did not want to give up on him just yet. He did not want to accept any more pain than he already had.

One morning, Duo awoke to the smell of the one food which always cheered him up: double chocolate chip peanut butter pancakes. A sudden thought slammed into his mind. The only person who knew how to make those without screwing up was.....He hops out of bed and gets dressed in a flash. 'Could it be?' Duo wondered. He runs out of the room he now shared with Wufei, who was fast asleep, and rushes downstairs toward the kitchen. He stops suddenly and looks at the clock. It was not even five-thirty in the morning. All of the other pilots slept until at least ten. 'That means he's alone.....' Duo thought.

After a second glance at the clock to make sure he wasn't seeing things, he quickly made his way into the kitchen. His eyes widen as he saw the silky blonde hair, the flawless skin, the feminine curves. Slowly, Quatre turns around, dressed in his usual attire as well as a pink apron. He smiles sweetly at duo, his turquoise-colored eyes shimmering lightly. "Good morning, Duo. I take it you are hungry." Duo snapped out of his fantasy long enough to nod vigorously and lick his lips. "Yeah! You know I am!" Quatre gave a soft, gentle giggle, shaking his head lightly. "I will not feed you until you sit down at the----" His words were cut short as Duo sat down in his usual spot at the table. So fast, he didn't even catch it. "----table." They both started laughing at the same time, and Quatre fixed Duo a plate of his special pancakes.

A few minutes and a couple laughs later, Duo finishes his pancakes and leans back in his chair with a satisfied smile. His cobalt-blue eyes look into Quatre's turquoise ones as he speaks. "To what do I owe the honor of eating such terrific pancakes? Is it my birthday again?" He regretfully remembers the time when he forgot his own birthday, and didn't realize it until he saw presents stacked on his bed. Quatre laughs softly, his hand coming over his mouth. "Not at all, Duo. This is actually something that I hope will make you happier." Quatre had the uncanny sense to tell precisely what others felt, regardless of any emotional barriers. Duo seemed a little shocked by this. "Happier? W-why would I need to be happier? Nothings wrong at all!" He laughs falesly and then silences as he spots Quatre's look. "Duo....do not lie. You know well enough that I can tell when people are sad or not. So, you either tell me what is wrong or I pump all of my pancakes from your stomach."

Duo sat speechless for a moment, then sighed softly. He opens his mouth to speak, but is stopped short as the elusive Trowa Barton steps into the kitchen. "..." Quatre looks at Trowa and smiles some, his facade much better than Duo's. "Hi Trowa, hun!" Quatre runs over and plants a soft kiss against Trowa's lips, then pulls back and smiles at him. Trowa nods and hugs Quatre gently. "I heard voices. Is something wrong?" Quatre takes a quick glance at Duo, who was on his way out, before saying. "No....nothing at all...."

As soon as Duo stepped outside, he pressed up against the wall next to the door, listening to Quatre and Trowa talking together. A tear appears in his eye, and soon a familiar tune starts running through his head....

"You can hardly wait to tell all your friends,

How his kisses taste sweet like wine....

And how your heart almost always skips a beat

Everytime he walks by.

And when you're feelin' down,

He'll pick you up.

He'll hold you close

When you're makin' love.

He's everything

You've been dreamin' of

Oh baby......

I wish you'd look at me that way....

Your beautiful eyes lookin' deep into mine.

Telling me more than any words could say

But you don't even know I'm alive......

Quatre to you....all I am....is the invisible man...."

Duo slowly starts walking away from the door, unaware entirely that he had actually sung that song out loud. As trowa had stepped outside, he did not hear it. But Quatre, on the other hand, had. the blonde haired pilot had listened through the door as soon as he heard Duo start singing the song. As soon as Duo finished, Quatre placed a hand over his soft lips, his shimmering turquoise eyes watering up slowly. "Oh....Duo......" Quatre slowly falls to his knees, unaware about Duo's feelings for so long. "How.....How could I have not known.......?"
