I don't actually feel like writing atm, but oh well, I know if I don't start sometime soon, I won't update for another eight weeks... ::sweatdrop::

Chapter 4: Plan One: Declined
Heero fell out of his chair and bit back a yelp as the phone rang one afternoon the day after he'd sent Duo his email. He groaned from the floor when it rang again. He stumbled to the desk and picked it up. "Hullo?" he mumbled.
"Heero?"
He felt a rush of relief at the sound of Duo's voice on the other end of the line. "Yea, hi Duo," he replied in a clearer voice.
"Heero, can you meet me somewhere?" Duo's voice was a little hurried.
"Sure, why?"
Duo remained silent for a moment. "I have an idea."
Heero's heart leapt. He'd hoped dearly that Duo could help somehow. "Why can't you tell me on the phone?" he asked, keeping his voice low in case someone was eavesdropping.
"'Cause I really want to see you..." Duo replied.
"Alright, can I meet you at your house?"
"Yea, that's fine. Can you come now?"
Heero nodded. "Yea, I'll be right over."
Duo let out a sigh of relief. "Ok, that'd be great."
"Hey Duo?"
"Yea?"
"Thank you."
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Duo paced in his living room, staring out the window at his street. He sighed heavily when he saw Heero's small sports car pull into view. He'd only gotten off the phone with Heero a few minutes ago. He was glad that his parents were both out today, because he was even starting to worry himself.
He threw the front door open before Heero even got out of his car, and stood there, waiting. Heero trotted up to the open door and stepped in when Duo motioned for him to. Neither of them said anything as Duo led the way to the living room down the hall. Heero sat down on a couch while Duo took a chair seat next to it.
Duo avoided meeting Heero's eager gaze and looked at the floor nervously. He remained silent, so Heero spoke first, "You said you had an idea. Are you having second thoughts?"
Duo shook his head quickly. "No! No, I'm just..." He finally lifted his eyes to Heero's. "It's just so hard to believe..." he said quietly. "But I do have an idea for you." He didn't go on.
"Yea, so are you gonna tell me?" Heero urged him.
Duo sighed heavily and nodded. "Well, you know how you installed those locks in your door by yourself when you were 14?" Heero nodded. "I thought that since you already had some experience in installing things like that, you could try to, um..." he drifted off and looked to the floor again.
"What?" Heero asked softly. He leaned forward onto his knees and watched Duo intently.
"You could um... Try to catch him on camera. I know he'd have to do something for you to catch, but it would be able to prove him guilty and he could get life for something like that." He was referring to life in jail. He looked up again hopefully.
Heero froze and stopped breathing for a moment, just staring at Duo unblinkingly. Duo looked back down in a guilty gesture when Heero didn't reply. Heero suddenly seemed to realize he wasn't breathing and inhaled deeply. He sat back and blinked a few times.
"I know that would be asking a lot... But it could get rid of him for good without you having to leave home and school and stuff..." Duo said to the carpet.
Heero swallowed and turned his gaze to the floor as well. "I don't know, Duo..." his voice was soft and slow. He shook his head conclusively. "No... I can't..."
"You don't have to do it, of course, but that's the only thing I could think of that didn't have anything to do with you skipping town." Duo starting fiddling with the end of his braid.
Heero nodded in understanding. He stood up, making Duo rise hastily in alarm. "Don't leave!" he cried. Heero looked at him, a little confused. He backed up a step.
"Why not?" he asked.
Duo blushed a little and looked away. "Nevermind... I just... It makes me nervous knowing you're at home..." He sighed and turned to see Heero out.
Following Duo to the front door, Heero shuddered at the very thought of what Duo had suggested. He stopped at the door and looked at Duo, who refused to make eye contact. He suddenly wrapped Duo in a brief embrace, thanking him for trying and departed quickly.

Alright, I know it's impossibly short, but if I had continued, I would have to have finished it. I will do that next chapter.
Arigatos:
Ed - Um... Here's your reply... I don't know what you wanted in it. I'm so depressed... I just found out what happened in GW with Duo's Gundam and Trowa... ::cries::
Shinigami's-Girl - I'll be happy to read your story! You might have to give me a little while to get to it, but I'll go look if you want me to.
ChibiNekoSakura - Have Heero live with Duo? Well... That might work... But he's not exactly allowed to live there... I don't know, maybe he is. Whatever... But he can't! I must get revenge on the idiot character I invented!!!!! Rawr...
All done. See you again soon. Don't worry, I know what's going to happen in the next chapter, so it should be up fairly soon. Lord and Lady, this chapter sucked...
