"Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!" Duo's cries kept growing louder and louder outside Hilde's bedroom.
Hilde growled in annoyance and wiped a trickle of sweat from her brow. "Well Mr. Tough-guy, this is what happens when you grow your hair down to your ass and don't use conditioner. Now hold still, you're only making it worse," she said in a way that drowned out his irksome ow-ing. Combing Duo's hair was never a task to be taken lightly. Hilde was already on her third comb since his massive waves of tangled hair that blanketed his entire back already swallowed the teeth of two others.
"I've only tried asking Sister Helen about buying me hair conditioner five or six dozen times. Then, just before I can, a kid just happens to spill something, break something, draw on something, puke on somethin-owwwww," he said cringing as Hilde's third comb finally got completely stuck in his hair and was lodging into his cranium. "Living in a church orphanage can really suck sometimes. Hey, why'd you stop?"
"How in Bob's name do you keep this massive bird's nest tamed? Do you shower and sleep with this braid in your hair?"
Duo turned around and gave her a mock confused look. "Who's Bob?"
"Shut up, Duo," she said while pulling out her hair brush. "You'll need some of that hair detangling stuff. I think I've got some on my dresser."
The room went dead silent for a moment and a far less-than-amused vein suddenly emerged on Duo's forehead. "You mean you've been yankin' half the hairs out of my skull with your combs of doom when you've had hair products to untangle my hair this whole time," he inquired all at once.
Hilde shrugged. "Yep."
Duo sweat-dropped and toppled over, feet twitching in the air (you know, the whole anime thing.) He had to remind himself that next time he prepared for a date, let it be Wufei that had to put up with him. At least the Chinese boy wouldn't get a bunch of comb teeth stuck in his precious hair.
----------
"Order #212, #212, hey!" an irritated voice shouted over the intercom. "I hate this stupid job."
"Tough day, Heero?" someone murmured to the overworked teenage male. This voice belonged to a blonde with sunglasses and hair tied back in a ponytail. The said blonde also had a red jersey with the number six on it, baggy blue jeans, and a backwards baseball cap on their head. Heero Yuy, the annoyed cashier, only knew of one lady who dressed in her brother's clothing like this.
"Can I take your order, sir," he said nodding slightly at his friend then lowered his voice. "Parents or peers?"
"I'll take a burger and a vanilla coke," stated that mock masculine voice. "Both."
"Coming right up.... uhh," he said that last part quietly. The said girl underneath all that jock-wear was none other then his former girlfriend Relena. He cared for this girl much like a sister now but couldn't stand dating her. From the moment he did about a year ago, he went from dangling at the bottom of the social food chain where he liked it to being right there on the top with the preptards. Once it really began to bother him to the point where he'd just punch any kid that came with in a five foot radius of him, he and Relena broke up and only saw each other as friends like this.
Quickly Heero fetched her a veggie burger and a diet vanilla coke, knowing full well she didn't want to eat anything fatty. If she was so much as one pound over weight her parents would have a cow.... literally! Since she was a sort of hippie-pacifist-person, they'd literally have her watch a cow get slaughtered to show her what she'd been eating. She still had nightmares from the last time that happened.
"You get a nice view of the beach from here," she said taking a seat at the counter Heero was standing behind. He worked at a fast food shack by the pier in their hometown. Relena was right, the view of the beach was nice, and it got even better at sunset. The thing he hated about it was that kids liked to order things, forget about them, and leave wasting perfectly good food he had prepared. He had a gut feeling some of them did it on purpose because they hated him for "breaking Relena's heart" so to speak. Yeah right, he thought to himself. She was just as, if not MORE happy to get out of that dead relationship.
Relena took her precious time eating, looking at Heero for a bit then looking back at the beach. She noticed, Heero was an extremely gorgeous guy. Well built, pretty eyes, nice face, and well, he was dead sexy. She half expected him to be seeing someone else within a weeks time of their break up... only half because dating wasn't really his thing. Hell, her best friend Dorothy Catalonia had her eyes on Heero even before he and Relena began dating. Then it hit Relena as soon as she felt she had to burp. It was time to play little Miss Cupid.
"Heero, you look miserable," she said while digging into her pocket in pursuit of her wallet. "I mean really, you're in serious need of a girlfriend."
He snorted, then counted up the money in to cash register to make sure there wasn't any money missing. His shift was nearly over. "Why?"
She giggled at the sudden narrow gaze Heero gave her. "Here."
Relena pulled two index cards out of her pocket by mistake and dropped them both when she really did have to burp. Hey, she was a rich girl! She was taught that it was proper to cover your mouth when you burp, and therefore in her panicked state she let those cards drop. It was loud and it embarrassed her to no certain extent. It was a damn good thing she was trying to be a guy and belching was pretty masculine. Heero couldn't stop laughing.
"It's more convincing when you don't cover your mouth like that." Relena tossed the veggie burger wrapper at him for that but missed. Sometimes Heero could be such an asshole.
She cleared her throat. "As I was saying, here," she said while thrusting what she -thought- was the right index card at his face. "She'll meet you there at eight o'clock.
He sighed in defeat and took the card. "Fine, but if this SHE is Dorothy again, I will murder you."
"I'm sure you will."
With that said, she paid for her food faster then you could say Duo Maxwell. And the shiny purple ink on Heero's card that reflected sunlight off the card reminded her. She'd forgotten to give Duo's date his card during trigonometry class. She shrugged it off though. She could always just call the boy up when she got home... if they weren't ringing off the hook that was. Being rich, pretty, and popular really sucked.
----------
"Aww Duo, you look great," Hilde said while looking at a cute picture of him at five holding a teddy bear. "Are you done getting dressed yet?"
Duo shouted something from inside the bathroom he was changing in. Hilde actually managed to brush out his hair and find cloths that suited him. Having a lesbian punk for a friend was awesome (I should know, I have many of them!) She could share her clothing with Duo. And sometimes Duo needed good clothing, churches weren't exactly rich. It made her happy to help too, Duo was much too attractive and sweet to be single. At least in her opinion.
The door to the bathroom opened, reveling a happy Duo. "Thank you," he said and bent over to give her a hug when he reached her. Then he looked down at the picture of little him. "Where'd you get that?"
"It's been in my photo album for years. Somehow it was on my bedroom floor."
Duo looked dumbfounded for a second then shoved his hands in Hilde's infamous Hot Topic pants pockets. The kind of pants that were black and baggy with about twenty different pockets, sliver hoops, black straps hanging down off them in random places, the bottoms dragged across the floor, and you know, the hot stuff! His black shirt clung to his chest beautifully and had a picture of The Mooninites on them saying "Plutonians are the suck!" (grrrrrrr, I want his shirt OO) Then the final piece to describe was a rainbow striped long sleeve shirt underneath. Duo looked fantastic, especially with his trademark braid swishing behind him.
"Who ever your mystery man is they're gonna love you. You look better in my clothes then I do."
He smiled big, looked at himself in the mirror, and did several poses. He even did the moon walk for Hilde just to hear her laugh. It was getting late, and he had a date. Okay, so the mood wasn't so happy that I had to rhyme.
----------
A pair of dark prussian blue eyes stared down at a sparkly silver watch that read 8:20. Heero growled a deep throated growl. Dorothy was late, twenty minutes late no less. Hell, he wasn't stupid. He knew Relena thought they'd make a great couple... not to mention Dorothy was the only girl willing to date him after the dreaded 'break-up'. She didn't have a choice. Heero didn't have anything better to do though. He had a boring life, few friends, and was more then a little anti-social. People pissed on him to bloody hell and it didn't bother him. Hell, it amused him! It was funny, because high school dorks like them were -bleep, honk- stupid (well, this fic is PG-13. I don't have the right to drop the F-bomb) And the author will stop rambling about it now!!
He snarled a bit louder in monotone but didn't really mean it. It was mock anger, so he wouldn't feel guilty about leaving Dorothy hangin'. Hell, right now SHE was leaving HIM hangin'! Why the -bleep, honk- should he care?
He turned around to leave once the sparkle watch read 8:30. He wasted a good half hour of not being on his laptop doing what he thought was basic guy stuff... like looking at porn, reading yuri fanfics, downloading software, the works! Before he could head off, he felt someone tap on his shoulder. He thought it was Dorothy.
"Kuso," he whispered.
"So? So what?" inquired the voice of Duo Maxwell staring at the Yuy's back. "I'm not late, where are you going?"
Heero turned around to face the one who spoke to him. He arched one brow. "Who the hell are you?"
-------- TBC --------
A/N: Heeee -squish- so they meet! Chapter two, and I left it at a cliffy! -ish all ebil and shtuffs-He heh he e, this is going to be fun! w00t!!! to all of ya who have reviewed my ficcy! I was pleased to see people actually liked it, I'm not used to writing humor LOL.
Oh, and since you've taken the liberty of responding to me, I shall respond to you :D -hugs all who reviewed and who will review- And thank the ever wonder Lita Pern for BETA-reading this chap!
--------
Cyrrer- Of course I made Relena nice. I think she's awesome! (I am perfectly aware others don't like her, but I don't really care) Like I said, don't take this fic seriously. Read it only to get your 1x2x1 kicks, kay . And that'll go for any other GW fic I make in the future (I have forty-bazillion ideas for 1x2x1 fics alone. There WILL be more OO)
sophisticatedshoes- Is this hurried enough for ya? Dude! I try not to be hard on myself. I've written some crappy fics in the past so I'm prone to thinking everything I write sucks ; It's a habit XP
Angel Reid- Eeee, thank you for the lovin' of mah ficcy!! :D
camillian- It is odd. Then again, I have an odd way of thinking, so it all fits. I think the idea of Relena hooking Heero & Duo up is cute, and therefore this fic was created -
BabyTraci- Mine too! XD Glad you like!
Lita Pern- -squeaks and hugs- Thanks for BETA-reading and making all those lovely compliments and critisisms. That's exactly what I need from BETA- reader! I'm glad I have you hooked!! Stick around for awhile will ya?
Ink2- You sure you didn't find any, because I always make them XD Thanks for the feedback 3
