I was kicking and punching a punching bag really fast when a boy about 15 walked in. His hair was a dark/medium brown color, and it was in a braid reaching his thigh. His eyes were familiar and I felt the twinge of familiarity from him. But I still didn't know who he was. I threw a punch totally missing the bag. The momentum alone made me fall, but I quickly turned it into a flip landing in front of him.
"Yes?" I asked.
He bowed and said "You are very graceful, and polite."
"Thanks, but I'm not that graceful. Any way, what do you need?"
"I'm here to deliver a message to Dr. Shinigami."
"Right this way." I said pointing to the door to my right. I saw him glance at my right hand. Then thought about something for a second. He walked over and whispered, "What is your name?" in my ear. His face was so close to mine, I could feel his breath against my cheek. I couldn't say anything. I felt my face grow warm. He is rather cute, I thought.
"I think you know my name." I whispered in his ear. He smiled at me.
"I think it is Rei."
"How do you-"
"Know your name? Well the cut on your hand."
"Huh?"
He held up his left hand to show me it. It had a small scar on it. From his pinky to the bottom part of his thumb, just like mine.
"Duo?!"
"Yes," He laughed, "how could you not remember my name?"
"You looked familiar, but I didn't know who you were." I said quietly.
"I didn't know who you were until I saw your hand," he replied, "and I had to know if I was correct." He smiled.
"What about that message?"
"Oh! I forgot about that." He laughed, "I was too busy thinking about you." Then he blushed. "I can't believe I said that aloud."
I smiled. "This way," I said still smiling. I grabbed his hand and led him to Dr. Shinigami. He looked like he was going over blue prints for something, like a mobile suit.
"Sir?"
"Yes Rei?" He asked not even looking up.
"There is a boy here to see you."
"Send him in."
"He is already in here."
He looked up and saw Duo standing there. "Oh.Yes?"
Duo bowed and said, "I am here to deliver a message to you Dr. Shinigami."
"Well what is it?"
Duo handed Dr. Shinigami a little yellow piece of paper. He took the paper out of Duo's hand and read it. After he finished, he looked very disturbed.
"What is it, Sir?"
"Nothing. Why don't you show Duo out?"
"Yes Sir." Duo and I left him to his work. I turned to Duo "Do you know what that note said?"
Duo shook his head. "I have no idea. Do you mind showing me around?"
"No prob." I said as I lead him into the training room. "This is the training room, of course." He smiled. I smiled and thought, I like his smile. I led him through a door to the left. "This is the way to my room, and there it is." I said pointing to a door on his right. "The fire reading room is next to it."
"You fire read?"
"Yes."
"Cool!"
I laughed. "What time is it?" Duo asked.
"Um." I looked at my watch, "it's 6:30."
"Look, Rei, I. um. I have to go."
"Oh. dang." I said, "Well let me show you out."
"Okay." He smiled.
"What are you smiling about?"
"You." He stated plainly.
I blushed, then smiled. I grabbed his hand, and lead him to the front door of the temple. I looked at him, then I noticed who he was.
"You're the most popular guy in school aren't you?" I asked stupidly.
"Yup."
"Every girl I hear talking wants to go out with you."
"Not surprised. I'm so cute."
I agree, I thought, and smiled.
"Have you seen Milliardo yet?"
"No." I said sadly.
"Oh. sorry."
"Don't worry." I said cheerfully.
He smiled. Then he hugged me. I blushed. So I hugged him back.
"Rei?"
"What?"
"Do you mind if I do something?"
"What?"
"This." He said kissing me. I was surprised, but it felt so good. So I didn't pull back. It was like I was in heaven, like sweet, sweet sugar. A few seconds later he pulled back, "How was that?"
"Wow." I whispered. Then I kissed him. I could tell he was surprised by my kiss. He moved his hands down my back. For the first time I noticed he was an inch taller then I was.
"Rei!" Dr. Shinigami said.. behind us.
We jumped. I looked at Dr. Shinigami. "Hi." I said.
"Are you two having fun?"
Duo and I laughed nervously. "Kind of." Duo said. Dr. Shinigami smiled.
"Duo, may I please speak to you outside?"
He looked at me then Dr. Shinigami. He looked a little nervous. "Okay."
Dr. Shinigami slid open the door, and Duo walked out. Dr. Shinigami followed, shutting the door behind him. I stayed by the door listening in on their conversation.
"Yes sir?"
"Young man looks like you won the heart of Rei." Dr. Shinigami said.
"Huh?" Duo sounded clueless.
I poked my head through the door and said "I'll see ya tomorrow."
"Okay Rei. Bye."
I shut the door to make it like I had left and then continued to eves drop. "What do you mean sir?" Duo asked.
"Er.. Nothing. It's just that Rei has a fragile heart." Dr. Shinigami replied, "Just don't break it."
"I would never do that sir." Came Duo's voice.
That satisfies me, I thought as I walked off towards my room. When I got there I opened the door and flopped onto my bed. I laid there thinking about Duo and his sweet kiss.
