Notes: Switching back and forth between different POVs. Short chapter.
Recap: Duo turns down a blind date with Heero. He sees a guy he thinks he might be interested in. He finds out that that guy is Heero. Problem is Quatre has decided to set Heero and Wufei up now since Duo turned it down. Will this pair ever get it together?
Feedback much appreciated.
"…This is Wufei."
Heero smiled and leaned forward to shake Wufei's hand. Trowa's boyfriend Quatre had taken it upon himself to "rescue" him from Relena's clutches and provide a date for him to her party. It was a bit of a surreal experience for him having his ex's boyfriend set him up but he had learned to go with the flow. Stranger things had happened to him in his lifetime and this was no exception. Quatre told him that he was originally going to set him up with an American but it turned out that American hadn't been interested. It was a little disappointing but Quatre's replacement wasn't too shabby, not by a long shot. Wufei was attractive with his hair tied back (he was partial to longer hair),dark eyes and from what little he could see from the black tank top and baggy pants, a very nice body. He had been a little leery about Quatre's ideas of who would be "perfect" for him. He was after all Trowa's ex-boyfriend. Quatre could very well have set him up with the date from hell. Although whether or not this could still turn out be the date from hell remained to be seen. However, it seemed promising so far as Wufei was certainly easy on the eyes.
He had to admit Quatre had been nothing but nice to him. He looked over at Trowa as Trowa went into more detail about Wufei. "Wufei teaches yoga and gives seminars on philosophy …" Trowa looked good. Quatre must be agreeing with him. Trowa looked happier than he had in a long time. They had kept in touch over the years and he still considered Trowa one of his best friends, especially with the nomadic lifestyle he had kept in the last few years. It was a great feeling to be with good friends. He had very few friends and he had decided recently it was time he settled down somewhere and where better than among friends. He had come to this realization, this epiphany when he had first arrived in New York a few months back.
In fact, it was Trowa who made him realize that his life had become somewhat meaningless, traveling all over, never finding his "place" in the world. He hadn't seen Trowa in a couple of years although they had kept in touch through phone calls, emails, and instant messaging. Heero never went anywhere without his laptop. It was probably the only stable thing in his life, his anchor to what few friends he had. He felt somewhat at loose ends lately and had decided to stay in New York for a little while. Trowa had introduced him to Quatre and he in turn had surprisingly hit it off with Quatre. They had hung out a few times and he found Quatre to be very easy to get along with. He had also met Relena, one of Quatre's high school friends. Relena had asked him out and he had gone along with it. She had seemed nice enough. It was when she started to be everywhere he was that he started to get suspicious about her. Eventually he had figured out she was having him followed, hence she was able to conveniently show up wherever he was. Needless to say he wasn't too happy about that and had tried to let her know that he wasn't interested in her. She hadn't accepted it and he hadn't known quite what to do. She was Quatre's friend and he didn't want to be the cause of any rifts. He had gone to Trowa for help. Trowa though, instead of sympathizing with him, had told him off. The normally reserved Trowa had actually been upset with him.
He even recalled Trowa's exact words. Trowa really knew how to impact him. "This is so typical of you …You get involved with people and the moment they start to show some signs of wanting something more, you back off and can't commit. Is this how you are going to be for the rest of your life? Pretending to live? Pretending to be human? Always running away from life and people? Why don't you follow your emotions for once? Try to be in a relationship, commit to someone, commit to something!" Heero had stood there in shock not knowing what had brought this on. Trowa seemed somewhat bitter about their whole breakup so he had never brought it up, not that he wanted to anyway. It was a bit of a touchy topic. Even Heero wasn't entirely sure why they had broken up. It wasn't as if they hadn't gotten along great. They were best friends even now. Had Trowa been right about him running away at the first sign of commitment? That had been a wake-up call. He had then decided that the next person he got involved with, he would make every effort not to "run away". He needed to prove to himself that he was not afraid of commitment. The first step had been to settle down somewhere and where better than New York. And now here he was with Trowa and Quatre being introduced to their friend. He decided he would try his best to make this work.
His thoughts came back to the present as he tried to catch up with what Trowa was saying. "… so I figured we could catch some dinner before we meet up with Quatre. He's entertaining some people."
Heero smirked. "Trowa, we don't need a chaperone. I think Wufei and I can manage by ourselves. Don't you think so, Wufei?" Wufei smiled back and nodded his head in agreement.
Trowa reddened a bit. "Well it was Quatre's idea … he thought maybe you two would need a buffer the first time …"
Heero touched Trowa's shoulder. "Don't worry about us, Trowa. We'll be fine."
"Well then, will you guys meet up with us at Luna Park? We're meeting some friends there after dinner …"
Heero looked at Wufei. "Wufei?"
"Why don't we decide later? See how things go?"
"That sounds good …"
"Alright then I'll leave you guys to your date …" Trowa turned and instead of walking down the street he came from, he made towards the store that Heero had parked in front of. Heero looked at the sign. It was a hair salon. Interesting name for a salon …
"Oh that's our friend's salon. He's a really good stylist …" Wufei explained. "I always get my hair taken care of there." Heero looked at Wufei's hair which did look very healthy, shiny and well taken care of. He touched his own hair which was somewhat messy and unmanageable as always. He had never really gone to a hair stylist before. He usually went to cheap barbers. Maybe it was time he tried to actually do something about his hair.
"So he's good, huh …"
"Very. You must definitely try him."
"Thanks for the tip. I will definitely give him a try. Why don't we get going …" Heero noted the location and made a mental note to come back here.
To be continued …
Any suggestions for the name of Duo's salon? ^_~
