his old 'friends' so its not that weird.

won't be with anyone for a little longer.
Chapter Seven
Duo and Quatre stood outside the movies in line, waiting for the people in
front of them to get their tickets and head inside. The line was moving unbearably slow for Duo's
liking, which he periodically voiced to the blonde next to him. Quatre ignored him most of the time, use to
Duo's energetic self by now. He was
going to have to get use to Duo teasing him about Trowa though, which was a
whole new ball game all together.
Both boys were in line to see the newest action movie that was out. Quatre wasn't so sure about going to it, but
Duo said it would be great, so he agreed.
They hadn't expected this long of a line though, so it's a good thing
they were there almost and hour and a half early. Of course, this left Duo to complain about anything
and everything, not that Quatre minded.
He figured Duo has some anger issues and didn't like that he kept his
emotions in until they became too much and he either blew up or beat someone up
with all his rage.
Duo finally finished ranting and looked at the blonde, who was still listening
intently. "So what was Trowa doing
tonight?"
Quatre shrugged. "He had to help his
sister tonight at the small restaurant she owns."
Duo chuckled. "So why didn't you eat
there or something and be near him?"
"I didn't want to be a burden..." Quatre stated.
"If you were actually eating something, I doubt you would be. Then you'd be good for business," Duo said
with a smile.
Duo grinned. "Would you want it any other way?"
"No, not really."
"I didn't think so."
Quatre rolled his eyes. "Hey, isn't that Heero?"
Duo turned and sure enough, Heero was across the street with Wufei. Both of them were waiting outside a small eatery. Moments later, Trowa emerged from the building. Quatre smiled. "Call him over," Duo suggested.
"What?! Why?"
"So we can all go see the movie?"
"But...but...what if he doesn't want to?"
Duo stared at him. "Quatre, you're so lame...." he muttered. "Want me to call them?" Quatre nodded. Duo sighed and took a deep breath. "Hey, Heero!" When the Japanese boy looked over at them, he waved. The other three boys walked over to them, standing next to them in line.
"Hey, what are you in line for?" Heero asked.
"The new Matt Damon movie," Duo said. "Wanna come see it with us?"
Wufei shrugged. "Sure, I don't see a reason why not."
Quatre smiled. "It'll be great! Everyone says it's really good."
"People over exaggerate," Duo stated.
"Like you," Quatre stated.
Duo mock glared at him. "I do not over exaggerate!"
"Yes, you do," Quatre countered. He was going to continue, but he was cut off by the loud shouting the trailed down the sidewalk.
"Duo!!"
Duo's violet eyes got wide, knowing whose voice it was. "Shit!" He cursed. Turning, he found Hilde running towards him. He dodged behind, Quatre, shoving the blonde into the girl's path.
"Oh, Duo! It's so good to see you again!" She said, latching onto Quatre.
"I'm not Duo!" Quatre gasped feeling the rabid girl crushing a few ribs.
Hilde blinked, looking up at the blonde. She let go of him quickly, looking around for Duo. She spotted him standing behind Heero and Wufei, using them as human shields. "Duo! It's not nice to dodge me like that!"
"It's not nice to commit murder, either," Duo stated.
"I was going to commit murder!" Hilde stated.
"Obviously you haven't hugged yourself recently," Duo countered.
"C'mon, Duo. Give me a hug!"
"Heh...no..." Duo muttered.
Hilde pouted. "So, what are you all doing here?"
"Going to see a movie," Quatre said, moving towards Trowa.
"Really? What movie?" Hilde asked.
Wufei opened his mouth to reply, but Duo covered it quickly. "Nothing you'd want to see," Duo stated. "Why don't you go find Relena and go see a chick flick."
"Relena's doing something with Zechs, today," Hilde stated. "Well, I'll see you later, Duo," Hilde said, blowing Duo a kiss before walking off.
Duo gagged. "Oh my God, I need a shower. One that's so hot it boils off the first few layers of my skin," he said, removing his hand from Wufei's mouth.
"Wow, how delusional is she?" Wufei asked.
"Very...she's had this huge crush on me since freshman year," Duo stated.
"So she's obsessive?" Heero asked.
"Obsessive isn't even the right word," Duo muttered.
They got up to the ticket booth, ordered, and paid for them. Inside, they went to the concession stand, got popcorn and drinks, then headed for the theatre room they were in. The group sat in the middle of the seemingly endless rows of seats. From left to right, they sat Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei.
As the previews started, people stilled piled into the room. A small group of people sat down behind Duo and the rest of them. Duo listened to them, recognizing one of the voices to be Zechs. Duo smirked, tossing a few more pieces of popcorn into his mouth.
"Hey, Marquise, isn't that Maxwell?" One of the other guys asked, and Duo recognized their voice as being Alex.
"Yeah, it is," Zechs whispered. "Looks like him and the rest of the losers decided to see a movie, too."
Duo growled softly. "Ignore them," Heero muttered next to him. "Getting into a fight here isn't a good idea."
"I know, I know..." Duo muttered.
The braided boy sat there as Zechs and his friends continued talking through the previews. He listened to every word to what was said, waiting for Zechs to be stupid enough to say the wrong thing. They became quiet as the movie started.
Duo was so engrossed in the movie; he didn't hear the people moving behind. Behind the braided boy, Zechs moved up behind him, and blew onto his earlobe. "Jesus Christ!" Duo shouted, whirling around to glare at Zechs.
Zechs fell back into his chair, laughing, along with everyone with him. "Oh, Maxwell, that was great. I really needed a good laugh," he said.
Duo growled, and was going to jump over the chair when Heero stopped him. "He's not worth it," Heero stated. "You can always kick his ass during a basketball game."
Duo glared at Zechs before grinning. "Hey, Zechs, come closer for a minute," he said through gritted teeth.
"Do you think I'm stupid, Maxwell?" Zechs asked. "I get close enough and you'll hit me."
"No, I won't, I promise," Duo said. "And if I do, then I'll drop out of basketball."
Zechs grinned slightly. "Fine..." The blonde got closer to Duo, small smile on his face. "What do you want, loser?"
"Just to give you something to remember me by..." Duo stated. Zechs looked at him oddly. The brunette answered the unspoken question, grabbing the blonde by the back of the head and pulled him down quickly, pressing their lips together. Zech's eyes widened as he tried to pull away. Duo released him, turning around and popping more of the popcorn into his mouth, grin present on his face. He heard Zechs and his party leave their seats and the theatre.
