Dont own gw

Heero was only in his car for ten minutes, before he found Duo sitting on a bench by the side of the road.

"Duo!!!" Heero called, as he was getting out of his car.

Duo looked up, surprised to see Heero standing right in front of him.

"Duo. What happened back there? Why did you kiss me and then say it wouldn't work?"

"Well," Duo began, "it's not that I don't like you, but when I kissed you, it made me think of all my bad relationships I had before and I'm not interested in going through that again OK? So, please just leave me alone." Duo finished looking Heero straight in the face.

Heero was speechless, he wasn't sure what to say or what to do. Should he protest and say he wouldn't treat him wrong like the others Duo dated prior? But before Heero could even decide on what to say, Duo was getting off the bench and walking away.

Heero felt helpless and hopeless, he knew there was nothing he could say to make Duo think this would be different, so he just turned around and went back to his car letting Duo walk further away from him.

Being back at school on Monday was awkward, since Duo and Heero had all the same classes.

Sitting in his chair, Heero looked over at Duo wanting to say something to the braided boy badly.

'What can I say to him so he will believe that I wouldn't be like all the rest? I want to make him so happy, but what can I say to make him know I'm not lying?

"Attention class!" Miss Mckrell called, snapping Heero out of his thoughts. "I will now be assigning partners for the history paper and speech that will be due next week.

Miss Mckrell ran down the list of names until she came to Duo.

"Duo Maxwell and Heero Yuy." The teacher looked up as she called.

Heero had butterflies in his stomach. 'This could be my chance. I cannot blow this no matter what.' Heero thought, while running through some things he could say to get Duo to understand that he was being sincere.

Duo on the other hand, was shifting uneasily in his chair. He wanted to ask for another partner so he could avoid Heero, but he knew Miss Mckrell wouldn't stand for it. There was the other part of him however, that was happy beyond all belief that he was partnered with Heero.

'What am I going to do?' Duo thought to himself, 'I know he is going to ask me what is going on and then tell me he'll be better than that. I know he would be, but I can't get past what happened before. I can't place my heart on the table again to just have it cut apart once again.'

"Ok class, everyone get with their partners." Miss Mckrell said.

So everyone went about moving desks and getting with their partners. Yet, even with everyone moving, Duo and Heero had yet to move. For five minutes neither moved, until Duo got up and moved to where Heero was.

"Hey Ro," Duo started. "Do you know what state you want to do? Cause I have no idea. Duo finished talking and Heero just stared at him.

'He's acting like nothing happened. How can he do that? Does he think does he think that what I said was a joke? Is he playing with my mind?' Heero thought while he continued to just stare at Duo.

"HELLO! Earth to Heero! Can you hear me in there?" Duo said while taping Heero on the head.

"Huh?" Was Heero's only reply.

"I said. Do you know what state you want to do for the project?" Duo said matter-of-factly.

"Umm... I think I want to do Pennsylvania." Heero answered.

"Ok, umm... when do you want to start?"

"Why are you acting like nothing happened?" Heero asked, still staring off into space.

"Look Heero, I already told you and I don't want to go over it again. I just wanna get a good grade on this report." Duo said simply.

Heero was still staring and this made Duo very frustrated. "Fuck it. You know what? I'll just do the whole damn thing myself." With that said, Duo turned around and walked out the door as the bell rang, leaving Heero not very sure if he was still up to the chase of Duo Maxwell.

Back out in the hall, Duo was rushing to get out of school.

'I know I shouldn't have acted like that, but I was hoping he could just forget it.'

Walking over to his motorcycle, Duo hopped on and drove off, not really knowing where he wanted to go. He just needed to clear his head.

'Maybe I was wrong to just kiss him and then say it wouldn't work. Maybe I should give it a try, but I-I don't want to be hurt again. I need some advice. Hey, I completely forgot that Quatre stayed home today. Maybe I should stop past there, I know if anyone could help me, it would be him.

Finally picking his destination, Duo made up his mind and kicked his bike into high gear and went to see Quatre.
