Chapter 3: Trouble With Shades
Mission 3: Send a warning shot at the enemy.
Hilde was obviously taken with Duo. Hell, that was an understatement. She followed him around constantly throughout the next week. She never let Duo have one moment of peace, actually, Heero too. Duo had been sticking with Heero lately. He told Hilde and Heero both about the stories and knew from around Hades. Actually, Duo seems oblivious to Hilde's attraction to him. It was either that, or he was ignoring it.
"Heero!" Hilde called from the outside of his room. He glances at the door and groaned. She was going to do one of to things, come in and wake Duo up, or ask Heero to tell her when he wakes up. Heero glances briefly at the vampire, who was sound asleep. His hair was down and strung all over the pillow. It was a beautiful picture, even Heero had to admit it. He always rose before Duo, but always stayed to watch the vampire sleep. This was odd, but Heero ignored that fact. He hated when this time was interrupted and so, Heero had developed a dislike for Hilde.
"Heero are you awake?" she said. Her voice was quiet so Heero guessed that she wasn't in the mood for the 30 minute wrestle that was require to wake the vampire up. That man could sleep through most anything. The door creaked quietly open and Heero glanced from his seat on the bed to where Hilde was peeking in. "Oh, so you are awake. Will you tell me when Duo wakes up?" She didn't even give Heero time to answer. "Thanks, you're such a doll." She says with a smile and closes the door. A sigh emerged from Duo's side of the room.
"Is she gone?" he whispered. One violet eye opened and looked at him. Heero tried hard not to smile. Duo looked positively innocent like that, his hair down and lay like spiders silk across his face. He skin glowed slightly and his beautiful violet eyes just took your breath away. Losing his battle, Heero covered his small smile with words.
"She'll be back." He said quietly. Thank god he didn't have a stalker like Duo had found in Hilde.
"Gods, she won't leave me alone! Doesn't she realize I don't like her like that!" he complained. The vampire opened both eyes now and lifted his head and lower back from the pillow, propping himself up on his elbows. Running one hand threw his hair and continued. "She just doesn't get the message."
"They never do." Heero said bitterly, thinking of Relena. He felt the heat in his stomach rise a little, but suppressed it before it got too bad. A small chuckle was heard.
"Cool it Heero, I don't feel like getting a new shoe again." He laughed softly and threw the blankets off himself. Heero watched the vampire rise, and move to the draws containing his clothes. Shortly the morning storm of clothes were flying threw the air. A shirt here, a couple of pants there, all strung on the floor haphazardly. Eventually Duo pulled on a pair of tight leather pants and a long open vest. Ready for the day, the vampire spun around and presented himself to Heero. "Do I look gay?" he asked.
After a quick analysis, Heero responded. "Eyeliner."
"So I'll look gay if I put eyeliner on?" he asked. Heero nodded.
"Alright then. Time to put plan Anti-Hilde into action." He said, grabbing some eyeliner he had bored from Quatra and applying it under his eye.
"Am I part of this plan?" Heero asked. Duo had a little flaw, he never told Heero if he was being involved in any of his little funfests. Duo slammed the eyeliner down and grinned at Heero.
"Maybe."
"Come on Heero!" he said, grabbing Heero's hand and pulling him down the stairs close behind him. Heero gave his friend a questioning look but allowed himself to be pulled to the bar. He was then promptly seated next to Duo. Hilde tilted his head slightly at Heero, who would have shrugged in response if he hadn't again been surprised by Duo, who laid his head on Heero's shoulder.
"Don't get mad." It was a whisper so soft that only Heero could have heard the vampire utter it. Heero looked down at the vampire but got no answers in his face or those violet eyes. Heero would have shrugged, but Duo's head occupied his shoulder. Hilde looked shocked at first, though it was here eyes that showed it, not her expression. It was fleeting, but it was there. As swiftly as it had came it was gone and she looked like her usual, overly happy self.
"Have a good night?" she piped, smiling widely at Duo mostly. The vampire shrugged and removed his head from Heero's shoulder.
"I guess." He said with a slight shrug. Hilde seemed a little happier now that Duo was not connected to Heero.
"Cool. I had this dream and..." Hilde the explained her whole dream in detail, even the color of everything. Hilde did this a lot and it seriously annoyed most everyone. Looking at Duo, Heero could tell he was only pretending to listen, nodding occasionally and saying things like "Oh really?" and "Cool." Every once and a while. Heero had already spaced out, lost in his own thought about the annoying one. Wufei was staring at the door and Noin was drinking something, obviously thinking to herself. Hilde was oblivious. Pressure on his shoulder woke Heero up as once again Duo leaned on it.
"...don't you think that's freaky?" Hilde finished, the last word drawn out in a childish manner. She looked around at everyone expectantly. Wufei snorted softly in contempt and Heero couldn't help but smirk a little.
"No." Duo said. "It's just a dream, all dreams are like that, nothing freaky about it." He said, snuggling into Heero's neck. Wufei glanced over at the two briefly, with a question on his face, then want back to boreing a hole through the door with his eyes.
"Oh..." Hilde said, a little put down. Duo nodded and kisses Heero's cheek affectionately and nuzzled into his neck. Heero froze, though only Duo would notice, he knew Heero the best. Duo chuckles softly. He had warned Heero. With that logic in mind, the Japanese boy was normal again, on the outside at least. On the inside, there were butterflies in his stomach. He wouldn't admit it to himself however. It would take a while to realize that he might like...he couldn't even think it.
Hilde's reaction was much different. He stared for a long time. So long that Heero though her eyes would dry up. Her mouth slowly came open and her eyes widened slightly. That was the first reaction. The second was a very evil glare at Heero. Jealous, great, Duo had just made him an enemy. Like he needed yet another one with Venus already on his tail. He would have sighed but instead his gasped a little. Duo had snakes his arm under his shirt. Barely visible, but Hilde saw it. She looked like an angry king, seeking revenge for his daughter's murder.
Heero looked down at Duo with a small glare. He had surprised the man and Heero did not like being surprised. Duo smiled sweetly, making him look way too innocent to be mad at. The vampire eyes were all wide, making the violet orbs sparkle. His lips smiled sweetly, not his usual grin. Heero glared a little longer then averted his eyes to look at Hilde, who was still giving him the death glare. Heero would have sighed, but it would attract too much attention to himself. Ever so slightly, he was blushing, and he didn't want anyone else to see.
Mission CompleteA/N I'm really sorry I haven't updated in a LONG time. I would say that I couldn't cause of school or something, but that would be lying to my readers and so the real reason is...I was way too lazy. Don't hurt me... I'll try and get the next update up ASAP.
