Disclaimer: Not mine, sue not that brat who wrote this points to self
Setting: A random pier somewhere in the U S of A.
Warnings: A/U, Shounen-ai, 1x2x1 fluff, probably OOC (it's A/U, expect no less) and attempt at humor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
"Squish, squish, squishy!" Duo giggled. "Life sure is grand when you're as easily amused as I am."
Heero snorted at the reference Duo was making. It was a prize he won; Pikachu stress reliever (and we all want one of those!) It cost macho man three-hundred arcade tickets, which he thought to be a total rip off. But, he let Duo pick out the prize so it was his own damn fault.
The place they headed off to to receive this said prize was the arcade located right by the pier. Duo had brought along about twenty dollars and decided blowing it off on video games and such was alright, as long as Heero was in. Not really in much of a protesting mood (since Heero spent exactly four hours before his date putting himself out of one) he decided whatever cheap little games kept Duo spending his own quarters kept money in Heero's wallet. By now at least three-fourths of his cash would've been gone. It was a good thing he took his foster dad's advice. Odin quotes: "Never bring credit cards with you on a date with a rich woman, unless you want to spend your whole night bouncing between fifty different first class clothing and cosmetic stores."
Inwardly, Heero cringed. He could see Relena getting tired after awhile, but Dorothy? Nuh-uh, Dorothy would attempt milk his bank dry just to amuse herself, then pay him back a month later in mock spite to make him feel like less of a gentleman. Oh well, she would pay him back at least, and they'd both end up laughing about it at the end.
"I didn't think anybody could actually be good at that game. You scored more tickets on that baby alone then I usually do in one stay."
"Heh, I spent fifteen dollars worth of quarters on it while you challenged all those punks at that Mortal Kombat game," Heero admitted. "You up for doing something else now?"
Duo poked at his stress reliever, making rude noises with his mouth as he did so. "Nah, not just yet."
The darker haired boy crossed his arms and lent up against a machine that read 'Out of Order'. "Do you expect me to stand here and watch you pretend to make that thing fart all night?"
"But, you think it's cute," Duo joked, and Heero's gaze narrowed sending a cold shiver down his spine. "Alright, alright, don't eat me alive with that glare."
"What glare?"
Duo blinked a few times, decided the hell with this stupid thing, and............................................................ jammed the freakin' Pokemon toy in his pocket. "Nah Yuy, I was only joking. Can't you take a joke?"
"Of course I can," he retaliated, not liking the far too amused took on Duo's face at the moment.
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Really, really?"
"Really, really!!"
"Really, really, really??"
"A man walked into a bar and asked the bar tender for... "
Duo burst out into a fit of hysterical laugher, now depending on Heero's 'Out of Order' machine to keep him balanced. If he was right, sir Yuy was about to tell one of the funniest jokes in the world. He quickly regained his posture and breath recovered. He looked Heero straight in the eye and piped, "... six shots of whisky?"
"That joke's a classic." He took a quick look around to make sure no kids were walking by. Though he saw none, he lowered his voice anyway just to avoid publicity. "The bartender asks "What, are you celebrating something?"
Out of no where, a third party piped in from the side of them. "Heero, you... um... dweeb. Is that the only joke you know?"
Heero and Duo silenced themselves for a minute, taking the opportunity to feast their eyes upon the third party. Heero knew who it was right away, but Duo.... Duo smelled something fishy.
"Erm... good evening, Rel-kun." Heero held out his hand to the supposed 'male' that'd just hit the scene and shook 'his' hand. Duo observed this person for a bit while Heero seemed to be discussing casual things with 'him'.
"I thought you'd be here with Dorothy." That voice, Duo thought, sounded awfully familiar. And he knew the one underneath that jersey wasn't male. Oh no, like some people had gay-dar, Duo Maxwell had sex-dar. He knew a man when he saw one, and that was no man.
"The bitch stood me up."
"Hey, don't call her a bitch." Ah-ha! Passion always caught one off guard. Duo knew precisely who this was now, thanks to them dropping the mock masculine voice. He had quite a bone to pick with 'him'.
"Excuse me Rel... kahn?" Duo said with as much innocence in his voice as girlishness in 'his' voice. "Erm... my friend Hilde told me a friend of mine didn't send two different couples to the same place on a date."
The jock 'boy' in the same red number six jersey and backwards baseball cap gulped. Duo knew her secret.... and wait... why was Duo even there??
"I thought I set you up with... " she started then stopped. Then she realized exactly what had happened. There was no other explanation. She'd accidentally given Heero the wrong card, setting both he and Duo up. She felt beyond stupid at this moment. "Damn... I'm such an idiot."
Feeling remorse, Heero did his best to assure Relena that she wasn't an idiot by buying them all milkshakes and allowing her to linger with them on the pier's boardwalk for a bit. She couldn't stay for too long since she had a curfew, yet it was nice to know that her mishap actually made Heero happy. Heero had been smiling when she discovered him and had even been telling jokes. A loving fate sealed by one beyond embarrassing belch from a bottle of Diet Vanilla Coke. She was some cupid alright. Or perhaps it was just because Coke will always rein supreme. One can never tell.
"While you two lunk heads were busy playing games in that arcade you missed the fireworks."
Heero took a sip of his milkshake. "No, you missed the chance to watch Duo and I kiss beneath them. That's what you're really saying."
Duo blushed and elbowed Heero in the arm none too lightly. "He-e-ey, I thought you didn't consider this an official date yet."
"Did you miss the part where I told you that you may get lucky?"
"Oh." Duo grinned sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head (Duo was doing a Goku LOL!) "I didn't just blow it by leaving a Texas sized bruise on your arm, did I?"
Heero laughed and shook his head. "You give yourself way too much credit."
Out of the blue, Relena whipped out a camera and took a surprise shot of them. Duo was blinking the dots out of his eyes while Heero attempted to snatch at the disposable camera out of her hand. Unfortunately, Relena had the height advantage. "Why'd you do that? You know I hate it when you take pictures of me."
Relena lifted her Rel-kun shades to her forehead just to show them the glee in her eyes. "You'll understand why I took this later. I'd tell you now, but I risk jinxing it."
"Jinxing what, Rel? What the hell are you talking about?"
Relena pressed her lips together, zipped them shut, and threw away the key. Well, not literally, but you should know what I mean.
"Oh, if that's how it's gonna be then fine." He looked over at his partner, winked, and turned back to Relena. "Duo, I have something I need to tell you."
Duo grinned. "Are we gonna have a baby?"
Relena choked on her milkshake, causing Heero to laugh since he knew exactly what was on her... uh... interesting little mind. "Even better."
"Ooooh, even better then... He.. ero Maxwell jr." The stifle in Duo's laughter at the moment was beginning to put him in tears, especially the part where Relena had gone from choking on her milkshake the coughing it up laughing. He was starting to get JUST a widdle idea where Heero was headed. "Whatever could be better?"
"Wai... wait, Heero," Relena said, swallowing a lot while trying to catch her breath. "Don't tell him." But, who could take a girl who was straining while trying not to laugh seriously? Even she knew she wasn't being convincing in the least.
Duo took a quick look at her then directly back at Heero. "Oh, I've gotta know this... even though I've got a pret-ty good idea what you're about to tell me, Yuy."
O' braided one cleared his throat, made a pretty cool sounding drum roll with his fists against the walkway's railing, and shot Relena the most utterly amused and accusing look she'd ever seen. She gulped, and awaited her awful fate.
"Oh, you have 'white stuff' dribbling down your chin by the way."
Relena gave that remark a less then dignified outburst of laughter, for it wasn't every day she was spoken to in this kind of diverse manner. "Hey Relen.. err... Rel-con... whatever, rod, rubber, wood, head, sac, ball, shaft, release!!"
"Oh, you've released something alright," Heero said, sweat-dropping at Relena's embarrassing fit of abrupt laughter. Poor dignified rich girl, so graceful, so beautiful, and a closet pervert. "You've released the demon in her."
Well, you had to admit. It made sense. Milliardo was a grade A, top of the line, pure jock-boy. She learned from the masta!
"Oh my, not even Hilde laughs this much when I break out penis jokes."
Oh the dreaded 'P' word lead Relena not only to hiccups and a nose bleed while she nearly laughed the life straight out of her, but also a few worried stares from the public. Heero briefly wondered if anyone informed the funny farm that their was a crazy on the loose.
"Damn, I -hic- got blood all over the jersey."
"Milly's gonna kill you, Rel."
"Don't remind me." She hiccupped. "I'm going to go home now before I end up wetting his jeans."
"S'been a 'blast'! A 'pleasure' seeing you again," Duo said through unrefined laughter.
Relena headed off into the night quickly, thankfully all laughed out because now her stomach was cramping. That Duo was just too much for a little one like herself to handle. She had a hunch, just a tiny hunch that Heero was going to fall for him whether he was straight or not. Opposites attract after all, and since she and Heero were best friends, Duo would make her life more interesting as well. She'd have to pray pretty hard tonight then.
"Welcome to Loserville, Miss Relena," she whispered to herself with a smile on her face. (Loserville = Heaven ;) )
--------
"Oh, ho ho ho HO! It's on now you little bastards!!!" Duo began going totally nuts on the whack-a-mole machine, successfully scaring away a total of thirty-seven people within a fifty foot radius of him and Heero. The much more composed of the two-some watched in awe as his mate beat the crap out of that poor machine. He'd long since prepared himself to run the hell out of there, dragging Duo along with him so they both could avoid having to pay for the soon-to-be busted machine.
"Duo, I think you've had enough."
The braided one roared and spun around to face Heero. "I'LL TELL YOU WHEN I'VE HAD ENOUGH!"
Oh great, now they sounded like a whimpy bar tender and his much too drunk customer.
As Heero predicted, Duo had pretty much beaten the whack-a-mole machine to death and he had to make their escape before somebody phoned the cops.
"Duo. You, are THE craziest person I have EVER met."
"Why thank ya!" Duo said that with a voice full of pride. Heero thought this whole drag-poor-depressed-dateless-boy for a few hours would be just that. So far, it was watch him poke at annoyingly yellow stress reliever, get Relena to laugh herself into a nose bleed, and beat an annoying kids game to oblivion. And all the while he's only spent about fifty dollars on Duo. He'd never spent so little money in this amount of time his whole life, nor has he been so damn entertained.
"Hey Maxwell, want to head back?"
Duo immediately thought Heero had lost it. "Hell no! I might end up getting sued."
"I didn't mean the whack-a-mole machine. I meant the pier."
Duo pretended to think about it, then found his eyes fixed on the roller coaster. Heero followed his gaze and snorted. Somehow, he just knew Duo was going to want to ride that thing.
"The line'll be long," Heero informed. "Are you sure you want to spend most of your 'date' waiting in line?"
"D-date!" Duo said in a bit of shock. "You consider this a date?"
Heero smiled. "Don't you?"
Duo watched in fascination while Heero turned around and held his hand out. He wanted to hold hands, this was a date. Suddenly Duo felt like he was surrounded by a sparkly pink background with bubbles and romantic music. His eyes were large with happiness (think of Shuichi/Yuki moment when you think of this)
"He-e-e-ero!" He jumped on Heero's back, squeezing him in such an awkward looking hug. The other boy caught his legs and propped the sudden weight on his back hoping to god he wouldn't fall forward.
"Do you have any clue just how heavy you are?" Heero ground out while Duo snuggled his hair from behind.
Then Duo's head shot up and he pointed out toward the roller coaster, after noting just whom Heero sounded like at that very moment. "Now march on, Lady Utena."
"You are neither Wakaba nor Anthy, and I'm not Utena, so please get off my back." Duo got down and Heero stretched out his arms. "Your impression of both of them sucks."
Duo stuck out his tongue. "Spoil sport."
Heero took Duo's hand and dragged him along for a bit, at least until Duo picked up his pace. The long haired boy was too stunned for words. Heero was holding his hand, and this had finally been considered a date. But, just how much of Duo Maxwell could Heero Yuy handle before going insane? The world may never know...

A/N: So much Gravi spoofage in this chap. I guess I should disclaim that and say, Gravitation belongs to Maki Murakami! Well, I just did ;) And Utena, oh Utena is excellent. I recommend both Gravitation and Utena to those of you looking for good manga/anime. And Inuyasha, and Wolf's Rain, and Gundam SEED, and Lupin III (I watch too much anime for my own good LOL.)
Mercy me, I had 'way' too much fun writing this chapter. Relena the closet perv? What, you never know (everyone's too busy killing her off an.. -muttermuttermutter-). Come on, we all know Relena's the coolest!
-crickets chirp-
Well... okay, so not everyone thinks so (but you have to admit, she was cool in Endless Waltz!)
You get the drill by now!
--------
Dayzy- SHU AND YUKI!!! -squeeeees and runs into a wall- Heh heh, that was fun! I'ma gonna do that again -runs into a wall again- Poor wall o.o; Gravi, Gravi, Gravi, Gravi, how we loves thhhhheee ppppppprrreeeeeeeciiioooouuuusssss!!! Oh wow, sorry. I'm a bit jacked up on coffee and soda right now LOL. As for how many chaps. Errr, I dun wanna say, then people might stop reviewing, waah!
Meepu- The only thing I could see happening out of a Shu x Duo is insanity... and Eiri and Heero trying to gut each other alive for not keeping their boyfriends on a leash. Episode 12? The big date episode (that and many other things sort of inspired me to write this fic in the first place) As for the tunnel of love, I don't even know if I'll stick that in there (I'm not a fan of clichés) But, if I do, I'll find some way to do it. I've got skills (actually, I've just got too much free time)
Ink2- Maybe they'll get a mention. It's all about how it fits. You got to see Wufei in the first chappie (and we've all gotta love him!)
LiLPixi- Thankie :D
Thalia16- The dub voices are the crappiest I've ever heard, and they took away La Li Ho!! (how could they?! It was my favorite phrase!) I suggest getting the DVD's, watch it in English ONCE, and watch it in Japanese for the rest of the time. But, you know how it is. The only anime I've ever seen translated word for word with great dub voices is Angel Sanctuary (and trust me, if you thought Gravi wasn't a kids anime...)
kitty kat 0303- Update ahoy! Thank ya :)
Angel Reid- Oooo, dance -dances with you- Yaaay!!
camillian- Thanks for mentioning that! It gave me the idea of giving Heero a reason for carrying around cash (but yeah, I'm not rich and never have been so I don't know these things) That was a big help, thanks =D
inthefire2002- Yaaay, you're enjoying!! Just you wait and see. I've got a plan, but I'm not giving any hints (keeping people guessing is going to keep them coming back to read)
Naraku-chan- Mooninites = God -smirks- Thank YOU! It is nice, is it not? Relena and Hilde are awesome! And I know how you mean. I have such a history with bad boyfriends, and since Heero's my favorite character I needed to make him nice. Him and Duo deserve each other -sighs all dreamy like-
Gangsta Videl- Hallo! Come to feast your eyes on Bob-chan's uber weird fic have ya? W00t!! -hugs- Glad you like it =D
Inuyasha-Luv-Kagome- Yo, love the name (Inuyasha x Kagome 4-evar!!!11) Eh heh heh, ya. But yes, too many 1x2x1 fics with great potential became stupid with random Relena bashing. It's NOT cool! But yeah, I am eternally in love with her and shall show the kick-ass side of her that DOES exist, mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha -cough- ya. Even though this fic isn't really about that, it's about Heero and Duo on a date =)

Final note: And now to be random!
In A.C. 195.
War was beginning.
Heero: What happen?
Quatre: Someone set up us the bomb!
Duo: We get signal!
Heero: What?
Duo: Main screen turn on.
Heero: It's you!
Lady Une: How are you gentlemen? All your base are belong to us. You are on your way to destruction!
Heero: What you say?
Lady Une: You have no chance to survive, make your time. Ha ha ha ha!
Isn't that basically how Gundam Wing is? XD Damn, I am WAY too easily amused for my own good.

A/N: So much Gravi spoofage in this chap. I guess I should disclaim that and say, Gravitation belongs to Maki Murakami! Well, I just did ;) And Utena, oh Utena is excellent. I recommend both Gravitation and Utena to those of you looking for good manga/anime. And Inuyasha, and Wolf's Rain, and Gundam SEED, and Lupin III (I watch too much anime for my own good LOL.)
Mercy me, I had 'way' too much fun writing this chapter. Relena the closet perv? What, you never know (everyone's too busy killing her off an.. -muttermuttermutter-). Come on, we all know Relena's the coolest!
-crickets chirp-
Well... okay, so not everyone thinks so (but you have to admit, she was cool in Endless Waltz!)
You get the drill by now!

Dayzy- SHU AND YUKI!!! -squeeeees and runs into a wall- Heh heh, that was fun! I'ma gonna do that again -runs into a wall again- Poor wall o.o; Gravi, Gravi, Gravi, Gravi, how we loves thhhhheee ppppppprrreeeeeeeciiioooouuuusssss!!! Oh wow, sorry. I'm a bit jacked up on coffee and soda right now LOL. As for how many chaps. Errr, I dun wanna say, then people might stop reviewing, waah!
Meepu- The only thing I could see happening out of a Shu x Duo is insanity... and Eiri and Heero trying to gut each other alive for not keeping their boyfriends on a leash. Episode 12? The big date episode (that and many other things sort of inspired me to write this fic in the first place) As for the tunnel of love, I don't even know if I'll stick that in there (I'm not a fan of clichés) But, if I do, I'll find some way to do it. I've got skills (actually, I've just got too much free time)
Ink2- Maybe they'll get a mention. It's all about how it fits. You got to see Wufei in the first chappie (and we've all gotta love him!)
LiLPixi- Thankie :D
Thalia16- The dub voices are the crappiest I've ever heard, and they took away La Li Ho!! (how could they?! It was my favorite phrase!) I suggest getting the DVD's, watch it in English ONCE, and watch it in Japanese for the rest of the time. But, you know how it is. The only anime I've ever seen translated word for word with great dub voices is Angel Sanctuary (and trust me, if you thought Gravi wasn't a kids anime...)
kitty kat 0303- Update ahoy! Thank ya :)
Angel Reid- Oooo, dance -dances with you- Yaaay!!
camillian- Thanks for mentioning that! It gave me the idea of giving Heero a reason for carrying around cash (but yeah, I'm not rich and never have been so I don't know these things) That was a big help, thanks =D
inthefire2002- Yaaay, you're enjoying!! Just you wait and see. I've got a plan, but I'm not giving any hints (keeping people guessing is going to keep them coming back to read)
Naraku-chan- Mooninites = God -smirks- Thank YOU! It is nice, is it not? Relena and Hilde are awesome! And I know how you mean. I have such a history with bad boyfriends, and since Heero's my favorite character I needed to make him nice. Him and Duo deserve each other -sighs all dreamy like-
Gangsta Videl- Hallo! Come to feast your eyes on Bob-chan's uber weird fic have ya? W00t!! -hugs- Glad you like it =D
Inuyasha-Luv-Kagome- Yo, love the name (Inuyasha x Kagome 4-evar!!!11) Eh heh heh, ya. But yes, too many 1x2x1 fics with great potential became stupid with random Relena bashing. It's NOT cool! But yeah, I am eternally in love with her and shall show the kick-ass side of her that DOES exist, mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha -cough- ya. Even though this fic isn't really about that, it's about Heero and Duo on a date =)

Final note: And now to be random!
In A.C. 195.
War was beginning.
Heero: What happen?
Quatre: Someone set up us the bomb!
Duo: We get signal!
Heero: What?
Duo: Main screen turn on.
Heero: It's you!
Lady Une: How are you gentlemen? All your base are belong to us. You are on your way to destruction!
Heero: What you say?
Lady Une: You have no chance to survive, make your time. Ha ha ha ha!
Isn't that basically how Gundam Wing is? XD Damn, I am WAY too easily amused for my own good.
