Observations and Intrigue

Duo Maxwell had been reading fanfics about himself and the other Gundam pilots, seeings as how the war was over and there really wasn't much to do in his free time. Even though he worked about 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week for the Preventers, he still got bored during his off hours. Occasionally, Heero or Wufei and him would hang out at one another's house, or go to a bar in town, but otherwise, it was a pretty boring life.

He was reading yet another fic that portrayed him as a Goth/Emo/Punk highschooler. "Dammit, why must they always personify me like this. It's getting kind of annoying," he thought aloud as he perused his third story of the day. "Gay, yes, care-free, definitely, but goth? Hell NO!"

Suddenly, a thought entered his mind. He'd call up the guys, and see if they thought these stories played him out accurately. The first person on his list to call was Heero, and his hands flew across the phone, quickly entering the numbers.

"Yuy here," a stoic monotone answered upon the second ring.

"Hey, Heero, its D. I was wondering, do you consider me to be gothic?"

"Well, other than your fetish for black clothes, no. Why are you asking?"

"Oh, I was just reading some stories about us and the other guys, and most of them portray me as gay, carefree, and Goth/Emo/Punk"

"Well, I know for sure you aren't the latter, but the former two are up for debate."

"C'mon Hee-chan. You know damn sure that I try my best to remain care-free."

"I know. I was referring more to the gay part."

"Oh. Um, hey, I gotta go check on my, um...food. I've got a casserole in the oven."

"Don't even think you're getting away from me that easily. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can't cook worth shit. So don't even try to make an excuse. And besides, I've known you were gay for a while."

"Hey, I do so...what?! You knew I was gay, and didn't say anything?"

"I figured you would come to me when you thought it was the right time to tell me. Besides, it's not such a big deal. I know Quatre and Trowa are gay, and well, I am too, so it doesn't bother me."

"Yeah, Quatre and Trowa are almost as queer as a three dollar bill. Hey, wait a second. Did you just say you were gay?"

"Um, yeah. I thought you would have figured it out when I sent Relena packing after she had lived with me for three weeks."

"Nah, I thought it was from all her incessant shrieking of 'Heero' whenever she saw you, or the way she liked to hang all over you whenever you two were in public."

"All factors, but none were the reason."

"Oh. Do any of the other guys know about this?"

"Duo, are you blind? Did you notice how Quatre always tried to set me up with one of his 'business associates' whenever we visited them? And how Wufei didn't start rambling on about injustices when Sally would hit on me?"

"Now that you mention it, I'm surprised I didn't pick up on it before. Hey, would you wanna get together sometime? Have a drink or watch a movie, or the like?"

"Haha...how did I figure that was coming? Sure, I guess I could fit that in, what with my busy life and all."

"You sure, I wouldn't wanna...hey! Was that a joke?"

"Yeah, sure was Sherlock."

"Okay, you can stop with the sarcasm now. So, how 'bout we meet at the mall around 12:30 tomorrow."

"Sure, I'll be waiting for you in the food court at about 1:15."

"Alright, sounds good...dammit Yuy. I thought I said enough sarcasm."

"I can't help it. You're infectious. Tomorrow it is then."

"Yep. Tomorrow it is. Bye." he said, and hung up after Heero had replied with a two-syallabled "Ditto".

Duo turned back to the computer, clicking on yet another link. This time, he came across a story that had him and Heero involved in a relationship. 'Hmm...maybe me and Heero will turn out like this' he thought to himself as he clicked on the button to read to second chapter. 'Only time will tell, I guess'. He also failed to notice how his plan to call the rest of the guys was no longer floating around in his skull.
A/N: Okay, this is only my second fic, so I'll understand any harsh criticisms. Not sure if I'll make this a chapter fic or not, but I probably will. And before you guys try to say anything about the Quat/Tro comment, I can make such a comment. Don't ask why, you can probably figure it out on your own.

Anyways, review!
