"Your dad owns this place?" Duo inquired with quite a bit of enthusiasm behind it. "Sweet... "
What they were staring at was a rather large area of beach that Duo had been curious about for many years. A couple of times as a kid, he tried sneaking into this area, yet got forced out by a bunch of guards. Those weren't some of the fondest memories he could ever recall, and every now and then he hoped to be able to hang around this place.
The chances a guy like Heero Yuy owning this place was a million to one, but alas, he owned it. It was Heero's guards that kept him away from one of the most serene and interesting looking part of the beach all those years.
"You like it?" The stoic boy had to ask, though it was pretty obvious. Duo was awe struck... but in a good way.
"I never... never thought... " Duo stopped and collected his thoughts. There was questioning it now. Relena's little accident was pure fate.
Heero took his hand gently and they walked along the tide. Duo cursed himself in his mind once he realized Hilde was gonna have a cow about getting her pants filthy and wet with salt water and sand. Or perhaps not. It was one of her older pairs and the bottoms were shredded from stepping on them.
"Heero... I don't mean to state the obvious or nothing," Duo began and noting the full attentive look Heero was giving him. You don't... you don't just fall in love with someone in a matter of hours, do ya? Not even watching the movie Titanic around a crowded room full of weepy, sensitive chicks made him feel half as mushy as Heero was. He felt weird, too weird. "but... do you think we're taking this date a bit too... "
"Quickly?" he concluded. And it's been five hours since they first met. Already they were able to complete each other's sentences now. Usually it took friends anywhere from a year to many years to be able to accomplish that. Not Heero and Duo. Oh no, this was beginning to look like star-crossed-lovers crap.
"Shit, this is weird." Duo was blushing, but in the night that kind of stuff was hard to tell. "I mean, what the hell are we? Jack and Rose?"
Yuy snorted and shook his head. "Or, maybe Jack and Sally."
Duo squinted. "Nah, they take awhile to get together. More like Jack and Jill."
"Is it just me, or does Jack get with a lot of people?" Heero asked, the mood immediately lifting from awkward to delightful. Duo stared at him for a bit, then burst out laughing.
"He's just like Prince Charming, Jack is."
His date quirked a brow. "How do you mean?"
"Well," the braided one started, then cleared his throat to sound like this explanation needs to sound professional. Too bad the laughter he had trouble stifling was getting very much in the way of that. "Prince Charming gets with a lot of people too. You know, Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, and so forth. Has it ever occurred to you that Prince Charming might be a pimp?"
Duo broke out into hysterical laugher, followed by Heero who was laughing just as abruptly as his partner in crime. Prince Charming a pimp... who would've thought such a bizarre thing? Well, obviously Duo, since him and all his friends lack of what you might call 'a life.'
"What, so I'm a pimp now?" Heero asked, still laughing a bit. "Wanna fetch me my cane?"
"What? Now you're my Prince Charming?" How many jokes Duo was able to pull out of his ass this night was astounding to him. Even more, how many jokes he was able to pull out of a boy like Heero was even better.
"Would you have it any other way?" That particular question was whispered in a tone Duo only recognized from watching television. Seductive, Heero was being a sly little bastard.
"No, I wouldn't. Hey, since Prince Charming and Jack are two famous figures from lovey-dovey crap, you think they're secretly dating behind everyone's back?"
Heero took a minute to ponder about that one. It was a really good question. What did Prince Charming and Jack do off camera? "I don't know. If you become Jack, then they will be." Heero took a moment to smirk at Duo's awed yet amused expression.
"But... first I was 'Who the hell are you?', then I was Anthy, then I was Moony, and now I'm Jack? Who am I gonna be next? Ying? Alpha?? Frodo???"
"Of course. And I'll be here to be your Yang, Omega, and Sam."
"You're such a sap, Yuy. I think you've been hangin' around girls like Relena for too long."
His jockish-ness couldn't help but laugh at that one. Never was there a person in the world Heero thought was more sappy then Relena. She got sappy to the extent that it was funny. Usually, it was all a ruse just to cover up her depraved side. He didn't know her sap was rubbing off on him so much. He supposed his own buddies weren't kidding when he said he and Relena were like twins.
"Hey, Duo. You spent most of the night talking to me about your friends."
Well, that was a random comment if Duo ever heard one. Totally off the Prince Charming topic, but he bothered to respond to his Yuy anyway. "Point being?"
"Well, Relena isn't my only friend," he began and started walking up away from the tide, up to where the sand was dry so he and Duo could have a seat. "It's funny. This romance we seem to have is flowing very quickly, yet... you know more about Relena then you do about me, and I know more about Hilde, Wufei, and Nataku more then I know about you."
Duo's amethyst eyes fell shut and he squeezed Heero's hand a bit. "Well, if you have two other friends then lets hear about 'em. Chop-chop Yuy, let me know everything about your otherwise boring life before I fall madly in love with you." His braided one winked. Well, Duo was the most exciting thing in the Yuy's life as of right now.
"That's not the point I was trying to make," Heero explained. "But, one of my friends... one of them, with the exception of Relena, is why I agreed to take you out."
"How so?" Duo had a hunch this was about the jerk-wad he would've dated had it not been for Relena's timely bodily functions.
"There's another boy at our school that's just like me, only he's a hell of a lot more popular then I am... in a way." Heero cleared his throat, recalling his other best friend. "His name's, Trowa."
His sort-of boyfriend did a double take. "Barton!?"
"You know him?" He know Trowa's level on the social food chain was pretty good, despite the fact that most other people trash talked him. He was gay too. "How do you know him? He's a senior."
Duo snorted. "As if I haven't met any seniors. But, damn that's freaky."
"How so?"
"Hilde's dating his sister. She told me all about them. How Trowa's gay too, and how he got dumped by some... oh wow... " Duo blinked a couple of times. "... uh Heero? The guy I was originally supposed to date was the one who used and dumped Trowa... isn't he?"
Heero sighed. His boy figured it out, even though he promised Trowa never to speak of this. At least not to this depth. Nothing more embarrassing and cruel then to be dating a straight man only to be crushed in the end. Heero hated what was going to be Duo's date ever since. He really had to speak to Relena. She was too naive for her own good.
"Yes. Just, do me a favor." Heero sounded almost desperate.
Duo placed an angelic smile on his face. "Anything for the guy that saved whatever self-esteem I've got left."
"This conversation about Trowa. It never happened."
Duo could see where Heero was going with this. Though this kind of thing never happened to him, it almost did, and he could sympathise. "Right, my lips are sealed, buddy."
Then Duo had to ask. "Can you introduce me to him sometime? The more the merrier on my dangerously short friends list."
Heero nodded. "Sure. I'll even introduce you to his boyfriend Quatre, even though he goes to another school." He took a moment to cringe. "A boarding school."
"Yeek, suck ass," Duo squeaked out. "Poor guy. If they knew he was gay, would they smack his knuckles with a ruler?"
Heero shrugged. "Wouldn't surprise me. Though I could more imagine a mob of robot like kids beating him with a crucifix. That's a mean ass school! I even went to it... for awhile."
"How long were you there?"
"About three months. Lowe wanted to turn me into a classy person, but after awhile I said screw it. That man is like putty in my fingers. It took, oh... about ten seconds of me holding a swiss army knife up to my neck to get him to transfer me to a public school."
Duo chuckled. "Nothing like suicidal children to make a politician look bad."
They paused. Heero had never felt so delighted to hear such a thing. "Someone finally understands my intensions. When Relena found out about that, she went ballistic. Trowa said I was nuts and Quatre suggested I go into theorpy."
"Wufei tells me I need theorpy every day."
And there you have it. Heero and Duo were both crazy as hell. Oh what fun!
Fate was sure dealing a lot of mean hands that very night. Heero and Duo were now connected in so many friggin' ways, it wasn't even funny anymore. These boys were spooked. Was Relena Peacecraft the real reincarnation of Eros, or was she just having a blonde moment? Either way, that girl had a magic touch. Hilde wasn't kidding when she said Relena would find Duo the perfect one. It didn't matter how she did it... but she did it.
"You know, Heero. On Relena's next birthday, I'm gonna get her a bow and arrow set." It made sense. Cupid has arrows!
"That's seven months from now," Herro informed whilst leaning his head on Duo's shoulder. "You think we'll still be dating then?"
"Is that a challenge?" Duo couldn't resist a good challenge... or a good boyfriend-to-be.
"More like a proposition. You keep being you and I can see myself still dating you seven months from now."
Duo smiled and rested his cheek on to top Heero's head. "Alrighty. To seven months it is then."
Or perhaps longer...

A/N: And... we're almost done! One or two more chapters left, WITH a sequel right on it's tail! You've all been so good to me. Lotsa support makes the Freya a happy author =)
I will update this fic in exactly one week from now, OR until I get over 100 reviews. It's your choice. Let your voice be heard. Tell me something completely random for all I care. I tell you a whole bunch of random crap, now bother me with yours.
Oh yeah, and for the person who left me the Bob definitions and acronyms..... XXXXD I was thoroughly amused! Me and my buddies at livejournal enjoyed it. Now, responses responses...
ooooooooo
Angel Reid- Hey! Congratulations! That's the third chapter in a row you've reviewed first for! Good things come in threes, mwa ha ha! Girlfriend? Chocolate? Why do you have everything I want?? -sniff- Lucky person. Oh well, I've got my endless train of 1x2 thoughts to satisfy my pervish thoughts ;) Spork over some chocolate for them! They're in the mood -evil smirks-
fiery-icicles- Fingers, fingers... oh yeah, that would be very embarrassing. Especially in front of a spicy babe like Heero, yikes! LOL, I'm so mean XD
Hikaru- Gross? Nah! I wouldn't go so far as to say 5x2/2x5 is gross. Overrated, yes. Unlikely, most definitely. Without a proper reason, most of the time. But gross, nah. They are cute together when it's strictly a 5x2 fic, and a 5x2 fic where Duo and Wufei don't fall in love just for the hell of it, or have Heero or Treize come in between them. You want a real gross pairing? 13x5! -gags- In my opinion, strictly. No offense to anyone who likes it.
Inuyasha-Luv-Kagome- Heero and Duo covered in chocolate = best thing in the world XD
inthefire2002- Dare I make Relena seem cool :) Well, she is! If I think she is then she's gonna be in all my fics. And who cooler to be compared to then Duo Maxwell? Even though the real twins are her and Heero. That's why 1xR to me is a first time, one time couple. They're too much like twins. She should adopt Heero and make him her brother instead. That way, they could both get closer to Milliardo, team up, and annoy the crap out of him classic Older v.s. Younger siblings style. Oooo, I gotta jot that one down and add it to my pile of fic ideas XD
camillian- He probably was but was being too macho to show it. I dunno. Some guys sure don't seem to mind talking about jerkin' their wads around one another, I didn't think it'd have to be any different in this case. Oh well, shall the intensity heat up? I dunno, you tell me.
MELM- 1) I know, but being reminded is always fun! 2) Yaaay, I'm glad it possessed the ability to do so. 3) Well, you just read it, did you not ;) 4) I know! That made me feel like such a loser for a minute there. 5) Who's stopping ya? 6) I did! 7) Thanks -blush- 8) Awww 9) No, don't stop! 10) LOL!
Kitty Kat 0303- Random is teh kewl ;)
ahanchan- Cool it were? How about this one?
Dark Kaizer Ken-Wolf- Look! This one's even faster XD
Ari- Well, they didn't make out (damn... ) They just cracked a few stupid jokes as usual. See, humor fic! Ha ha ha, funny! And some added sap to laugh at as well, because one like me cannot take sap seriously :)
Skarlet- Not too shabby for a secret spot, eh?
Nellas Saralonde- If I knew I was that funny I would've tried writing humor fics sooner.
Ink2- I had a science teacher named Bob. He was the coolest teacher I ever had. He watched The Man Show and The Simpsons XXXD He also said that he was Satan, that fire was cool, and he let me get away with drawing near pornographic Yaoi! Yep. Bet nobody else had a teacher that cool XD This is a true story too! I swear on the holy Yaoi sanctum it is XD
Gangsta Videl- That's a lotta white o.o Eeep, hates us all, Videl-sama. It likes to confuzzle us with it's tyranny. No matter, I still luff you, and your Angus beef, and your ability to laugh at my inappropriate humor =D
ooooooo
Final Note- What's scariest? Barney the Dinosaur, Teletubbies, Pikachu, Hamtaro, or death?
