Chapter 7: Plans.
"I don't care, we're going."
"I dun' wanna."
"Too bad, suck it up. Be a man. All that good stuff."
"No."
"Yes. God Quatre, get over it. It's just a movie. Sorry if it's not full of frilly pink dresses and flowers and doesn't include some really bad make-out scenes. Everyone's already agreed you have no choice."
Quatre really didn't want to go. He hated these kinds of movies. He scared easy, would have nightmares and wouldn't be in a room alone for more then 5 seconds without all the lights on. He let out a small whimper and let his lower lip tremble.
"Duoooooo"
"No." Duo closed his eyes and looked away, taking a defiant stance. "We are going out for burgers after shopping and then seeing the late night show. There is nothing you can do and unless you die you are NOT getting out of it."
"I hate going out in... public. I always look... fat?" Quatre was just making up excuses now and Duo tried to refrain from laughing. Poor Quat, can't lie worth crap.
"Too bad. Saturday afternoon, be ready at 2."
-
Of course, there was an alternative motive for Duo wanting to go out. Yes, he wanted to check out the new stores down on 23rd and yes, it was about time for some new manga, but more importantly...
Well... the movie was definitely going to be fun.
See, unlike Quatre, he liked scary movies. They were fun, especially if you had a friend who was terrified of them.
-
When Saturday afternoon rolled around, Duo was absolutely popping with anticipation. He was jumping up and down and clinging onto Heero like there was no tomorrow.
In high school when Relena would cling Heero had hated it, always telling her to back off and get lost. When Duo clinged he found it endearing and made him want to melt and go 'aww'. A very un-Heero like thing to do, so he made sure he refrained.
A knock on the door interrupted the two boys and Duo walked (or bounced) to go open it. Wufei and Treize looked at Duo. The oriental boy had a blank stare plastered on his face and the redhead gave a small smile for the seemingly blandness of his date.
A few moments later another knock sounded and, presumably, Quatre and Trowa stood before him. Duo shouted back into the room that it was time to go since all the boys were here and headed out.
Oddly, the boys were all dressed similarly. Wufei was decked out in white jeans and a plain white t-shirt and Treize, the same, although in blue. Trowa wore a green t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans, much like his first outfit and Quatre wore a soft pink dress shirt and khaki's which is what he always wore so it wasn't surprising. Duo wore tight black jeans as well as a tight black t-shirt and his ever-present boots. Heero wore a loose fitting deep blue shirt and black jeans.
Duo owned a beat up jeep that he had gotten the school permit for, which they all sat in at the moment. It was a bit squished, considering there was only room for 5 but Duo solved that by promptly plopping Quatre into Trowa's lap. Now they were on their way to the biggest mall in the area, which wasn't, to say the least, very near to the dorms. They parked a little ways away and slowly walked towards the large shopping center.
Having not gone shopping for more pleasurable things (clothes, CD's, DVD's, manga etc.) their pockets were a bit heavy. Duo had been saving as well as Heero and Quatre still had all his spending money from the beginning of the year. Trowa had gotten a job in his sister's coffee shop (conveniently located down the road.). Trowa had decided to dorm in the university because it was included in his scholarship and it would probably save time money and space for Cathy as she only had a small apartment.
Heero worked for the school itself. He was a major in computer graphics design and programming and always fixed the schools if any computer mishaps happened. He also had set up the web page for it as well. He was a computer genius and had very high marks in all his classes. He had a double major though, it being computers and arts, more directly technological arts. He was good at working with camera's, photos and recordings as well as being creative and artistic. He also, surprisingly, acted. He wasn't half bad either. Duo, when first seeing his acting claimed that it was one of the only times he had seen Heero with expression on his face... or more then a sentence or two coming out of his mouth.
Heero enjoyed it with a passion. He had been told in early years he had 'the eye'. It was most of the time referred to in the fashion society but it could fit Heero too. He knew angles and colours and could work with almost anything. He acted with grace and adapted to his role with a precision that was surprising. He loved literature and was often found reading Shakespeare and other ancient plays, but also opted for more modern things as well.
But none-the-less, Heero had quite a bit of money as well.
Wufei was a martial arts instructor to white belts at the local dojo. Even though he was a certified instructor and a black belt he had expanded his horizons and was training in lots of areas. Even so much as to take up swordplay, other then katana's of course. He had classes on Monday's and Thursday's and a Sunday class at 2:00 pm. It wasn't a hard schedule and Wufei enjoyed working with the kids. He made a good instructor, knowing what the children were going through if they had been forced into it by parents (he was a scholar after all, but his parents had made him join and he had grown to love it) and he simplified things well. He also had patients, taking time to explain things and correct the children as well.
Treize's family were aristocrats, much like Quatre's so he was never short on money but didn't flaunt it or go about frivolously spending it. He often invested in well-developed projects and came out of it in good shape. Trieze although, still had a part time job working in the library off-campus. He enjoyed being around books and the quiet atmosphere.

"Oh that's sooo cute!"
Duo had been set loose. It was horrid, for Heero at least who was dragged around behind him. Heero had made the mistake of saying he wanted some new jeans and maybe a dress shirt or two and Duo was off. Clothing store after clothing store he outfitted and stared at my Duo as he hmm'ed and haa'ed as well as oooh'ed and ahhh'ed. It was getting quite frustrating.
He glared at Duo one last time, which Duo noticed and smiled widely.
"Alright, this looks good. We'll get the black jeans and that nice black dress shirt and the light blue jeans and the dark blue shirt 'kay?"
Heero agreed readily and they headed towards the check-outs.
-
Indigo. He absolutely loved Indigo books. They had the biggest manga selection he had seen in a mainstream bookstore yet.
"The new Gravi's out babe."
"Don't call me babe."
"'Kay hun."
"Don't call me hun."
"Alright snuggly-wuggly buttercup."
"For kami-sama... fine! Call me babe."
Duo smiled and nodded energetically. What an accomplishment. They had a bit of a stack. Heero had picked up Banana Fish and Duo liked Prince of Tennis (he had gotten three more volumes.) Heero had chosen pick up a new manga...
"Hm... This one looks alright..."
"What is it Hee-chan?"
Heero glared again but knew he wouldn't get past that one. In the shirt time all the boys knew Heero they had picked up a little Japanese and Duo had taken to using it around Heero.
"It's about these 5 boys who fight for the greater good but have to go through all this stuff to get to it. And there are guns. As well as big mecha things called Madnug's... what a weird name. Well whatever. It looks alright...all the boys have really rocky pasts and have to somehow band together to save the world."
"Well whatever... Ohhh... gosh Ryoma's cute for a twelve year old. Him and Momoshiro would be so cute together..."
"Pedophile..."
"He's extremely well developed as far as twelve year olds go. And Momo-chan is thirteen. If they had sex it'd be legal... so ha."
"You're incorrigible Duo."
"That's what you think!"
"Mhmm..."
And off they went, with their stack of manga to find the others, not without paying of course...

AN: My gosh I'm sorry! I know this chapter took quite a while to get out. Of course, there is a good reason. I've been loaded down with school-work (Darn you English!) and I've been having some relationship problems (Not romance wise, friendship wise.) so it's taken a while but I've got it out! Don't worry, the actual movie-going will come up next chapter. There will be some making out! Don't worry! I'm too lazy to reply to reviews but that you for all your suggestions!!! I shall respond to them next chapter. Thanks and R n' R!
