A/N: This is the second chapter for what I have now named "My Life Turned inside Out" I'd really appreciate it if you review. Tell me if you like it , tell me if it sucks, tell me something! There are no real warnings for this chapter and I assume everybody knows that I don't own gundam wing.
Chapter Two
"Duo..."
(X)(x)(X)
I don't know what possessed Q to leave me here with this psycho but it must' ve been a hell of a demon. I'll have to call and exorcist to check that guy out. Heero is smirking at me from across the table and for the moment all you hear is the sound of Q's clock. The silence only makes the ticking seem louder. In fact it's actually seeming very loud all of the sudden. Extremely loud..... even annoying..... twitch twitch I can't take it anymore. I stand up abruptly and my chair screeches as it slides back.
"WHY DO YOU KEEP STARING AT ME!" His eyes widen slightly and his expression turns amused.
"You haven't answered me yet, I said your name, your supposed to say yes or SOMETHING." I can tell that my expression is completely one of 'what the hell?!' I think I say so because he just laughs.
"You are a real piece of work Duo." I sit down and rub my temples. I truly believe this guy has lost it.
"So I've been told." He looks at me as if he trying to decide between screwing me or starting a conversation. He opts for conversation which is made obvious by his next statement.
"How long have you and Quatre been friends." I lean back and smirk.
"Almost forever, I know it sounds corny but it's the truth." I shrug and he nods.
"What about you?" He shifts back to lean against the chair.
"When I first came here he was in one of my classes, always flirting and going about his way. One day he just sat next to me and started talking." He shrugs at the end of his answer and there is a really long and awkward silence. I mean have you ever been in a conversation that just can't seem to start and keep going so it just gets silent and awkward and you just keep asking questions like "so what do you do for fun?" or "Whats your favorite color?" and other stupid crap? Well this was just plain silence, which of course was accompanied by Yuy's insistent staring. Instead of pissing me off it now just made me really uncomfortable.. He all the sudden goes back to his usual smug expression.
"So, that girl, Hilde, she your girl?" I nearly fall out of my chair.
"Heero, one question, when do the guys from the happy hospital bring your 'hug me coat' and take you away, hm?" He actually starts laughing at this.
"Is the question I asked that insane?" I nod my head and widen my eyes going into cynical mode.
"Um.... let me think........YEA!"
I now notice something. Talking with Heero Yuy is like being put on trial he all the right questions to get the right responses in order to get your character in his data base. From what I could tell he found getting info on me quite amusing. I mean c'mon you could only go by he things he's done to me in the last couple of days. Slamming me against the locker like I'm some chick he's after, staring me down in the club while draining (erotically draining might I add) some chick. LICKING my neck this morning! This guys is really out to get me. Even now he's practically licking his fangs at me. I Duo Maxwell am completely put out by this situation. Maybe we should just screw on Q's counter and get it over with. I can never say this dancing around is getting boring but it sure is getting irritating. Solo Sam (That's what I call my dad and no I don't mean SAN I mean Sam) has always said that you should cut straight to the heart of the matter which of course mom counters by saying it doesn't help if you don't think about your words and actions first which sounds the bell for a nice big debate but that's not the point.
I grin at Heero.
"You SO want to screw me." He looks at me in mild shock and again amusement.
"What makes you say that? Your are giving yourself a lot of credit here." I smirk
"I can see it in your eyes dude, stop tryin to play it off." I laugh. He just looks at me further as if intrigued in what I have to say.
"And what if my eyes betrayed the wrong thing?" I chuckle and begin tipping my chair.
"I highly doubt that." He stands up and eyes me predatorily.
"Really." He seems to be looking me over. Pssh, like he's never done it before. I start getting impatient. I have a lot of nervous energy now and it's making me fidget under his gaze. Did I mention that Heero Yuy is tall. Even if I WASN'T sitting down, I'd still be a couple of inches shorter than him, and mind you I'm not THAT short. I stood up and mimicked his actions just to spite him. He continued to smirk.
"It's like that Duo?"
"You Damn straight it is." He pressed his body against mines and leaned his head down to whisper in my ear.
"Is that so?" He began tracing the outline of my ear and suddenly I felt kinda hot.
"Yea...." Before I knew it his lips were against mines and my only support was his body at this point. I felt a very warm feeling as I could feel myself losing it and then.... it was gone. My eyes snapped open just in time for me to see the floor closing in on me.
A nice thud could be heard along with Yuy's chuckle. I could feel my face heating up as it lay pressed against the cold linoleum. I snapped my head up and whipped around to give Yuy (Yes he's back to Yuy, the asshole.) The dirtiest, most vile, most sinister, most demonic, most blood curdling skin peeling toe curling 'ooh your about to get your ass whooped glare' Only to find it was the most........ amusing!? My glares are not meant to be laughed at. This bastard is actually laughing at me. My glares bring fear to ALL! My 8 year old cousin said so! And when I asked Quatre he said 'mm hm' which is also yes! SO ha!
"........"
Ok let me just shut up. Back to the situation at hand.
"What the fuck was that for Yuy!?" He continued to laugh heartily, like he just found a pirates lost treasure or some shit like that. He finally contained himself and shot me the most smug 'you poor fool' look I've ever seen. He actually looked as if he was pitying me.
"You want so badly to believe I want you as much as you want me that your hurting yourself.." WHAT?! I couldn't believe this dude. Where the FUCK did he come off talking bull shit like that?!
"WHAT?!" I squawked, yes I actually squawked . Who the hell did this vain, ass kissing, two timing, son of a bitch, jay time wanna be, wearin WHITE after labor day, son of a bitch AND a bag of chips think he is. Now I know what I said didn't make much sense but remember I'm angry right now, so everything makes sense to me at this point. I was fuming.
"You heard me." He leaned against the wall like he was the god Adonis on Park Avenue, looking smug as ever. Like the cat that fucken ate the canary only to throw it back up and decide it wasn't good enough to be digested and THEN had the nerve to ring a bell for some cream whiles he at it, the sick little carnivore.....
"You think that I, DUO MAXWELL, am chasing after YOU, HEERO YUY?" He nodded.
"Well let me tell you something I'm not the one going around biting people necks and throwing around sex like it's a fucken party favor!" I stopped to mock him.
"Oh would you like a side of 'SEX' with that drink 'mam, or maybe a large platter of 'LETS FUCK' sir? And if that doesn't tickle your fancy then how about a nice course of SCREW ME YOU SEXY BITCH for the kids!" I had said all of that with forced cheerfulness and now made a face at him as I finished. HE just snorted and began grabbing his stuff.
"Don't you dare walk away I'm not finished with you."(1)MY voice had gotten miraculously calm. I was seething. I know I was getting really worked up but you gotta remember this is ME were talkin about. He walked towards the door and looked back at me. Triumph was clearly evident on his features. "Don't be such a manwhore Duo." And with that he was gone.
I think I stood there for the longest while, gaping like a fish. I walked over to the couch and proceeded to glare at Quatre's clock whose ticking once again assaulted me in the most annoying way possible.
Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. TICK!
AAAAAAAAAAH! Is that all the fuck it does is fucken tick like it has a fucken problem because I am not in the fucken mood to be fucken haunted by a fucken grand fucken father clock, I mean what the fuck is the fucken thing doing the fuck here anyway. Piece of fucken-
Just as I was about to shove the thing out the conveniently placed window it rested next to, the nob jingled and in came Quatre, breakfast in tow. He stared at me strangely and I'm guessing I must've been quite a sight in the mentally deranged state I was in. Quatre continued to stare at me and I could make out someone behind him who had given himself away by chuckling incessantly.
"Ok, um Duo, this is Trowa.......he's a friend of Heero's" Friend of Heero's huh, oh I was about to introduce him to a couple of my 'friends' when Quatre fixed me with a look. "I saw Heero on his way out, you two didn't something stupid did you." I calmed myself and gave Q a good natured laugh.
"Not at all."
(X)(x)(X)
The weekend went by smoothly. I sat at school and the current topic seemed to be Quatre's new love interest. I Inserted my best county girl, while talking over tea and crumpets, country voice.
"Well I do declare, Quatre seems quite smitten with that Trowa Barton, if I do say so myself. It seems that they might be dating, do you suppose?" Even though it was only Quatre and I, it was entertainment enough to watch him flush bright red at my comments. And Quatre NEVER flushes. I brought my hand to rest the back of my hand against my cheek and tilted my head coyly to the side.
"Oh hohohohohohoho, Are you blushing Quatre?" I think that was my best Megumi impression yet.(2) He choked on his hamburger, that he had been trying to stuff down his throat in an effort to keep from showing his embarrassment, and began coughing. I couldn't tell if it was from the embarrassment or if he was actually trying to cough up whatever he was choking on. I reached over the table and patted his back.
"There there Q all better." After he caught his breath he glared. I feigned innocence.
"Oh I'm sorry maybe I should've gotten Trowa to come and do some mouth to mouth or whatever other shit to stop you from choking." This only caused him to intensify his glare.
"Shut up Duo" He continued blushing you know. So I relented.
"Okay, okay I'll stop. So where'd you meet this dude anyway?" Quatre continued eating his cheese burger but a faint flush could be seen on his cheeks. Quatre may be cocky sometimes and cynical but he can be really shy and I'm not sure of the word for it being that it's such a RARE side of Quatre.
"Through Heero." I nearly snarled at the name. I hadn't seen him since then and didn't care to. But I knew he was around...waiting.......biding his time........ I was brought back to reality as I noticed Quatre was giving me a concerned look.
"What is up with you 2 anyway, you had a one night stand I don't know about?" He said it all in good humor and winked as he did so. He couldn't be farther from the mark though. I didn't want to admit it at the time but part of the reason I was mad was because I had thrown myself at him expecting to get screwed which ended up not happening and then he had the audacity to play it off like he didn't want the same thing and then threw my own words in my face. Bastard.....
"You couldn't be farther from the mark Q." I shook my head and gave a wry smile. His eyes widened I'm guessing he had an epiphany of sorts.
"Oh I get it, YOU wanted to have sex and so did he but he turned you down and tried to make you seem like a whore right? Am I even close?" I sighed. Did he have to rub it in my face and make it sound so blunt and white trash? I blew my bangs out my face and stared at him.
"I'm guessing that I was right on the target." He sipped his little boxed juice and looked at me innocently.
"He's just a right bastard is all. Don't worry about." I waved my hand at him.
"So I see you tried to change the subject on me." He rolled his eyes at me. He knew I was talking about Trowa.
"No I didn't." Quatre got defensive but in the playful way.
"Yes you did.." I pointed out.
"No I didn't" And it continued on like that through lunch. I guess I'd just ask Trowa myself sometime this year if I was lucky.
(X)(x)(X)
I got in the elevator and pressed the button for the 11th floor. I sighed. Today was good I guess. Nothing remarkable happened but nothing bad happened. So I give this day a C. It was average enough, wouldn't you say? I rubbed my neck and felt an irritation on the skin. Oh yeah that damn bite mark. It was burning just as badly as when it was first made and showed no sign of improving. I groaned as I stepped out the elevator. I can't believe that shit Yuy. Fuck. Bite marks are way worse than any hickey could ever be because they don't hurt and if your parents ask you could always play it off like a Zeus size mosquito bit you or some other bug. I scowled as I stalked down the hallway.
I took out my key and pushed it into it's little key slot and turned. My mom sat at the table circling through a catalogue. She loved to shop and I'm proud to say that my mom has excellent taste in clothes. She may not have a model's body but with the way she dresses you'd think she was an actual model. She had class as my dad said which is why he had chosen her. I'll tell you now. Mom didn't come to dad willingly. She had been the daughter of a priest who ran a cathedral in New Jersey somewhere. And as I said before vampires hadn't returned to the surface until somewhere in the 1980's. So you could probaly imagine my moms expression as she turned to blow out her candle for bed, that sat on the window sill and was faced with a vampire. She will always tell me how she nearly threw her lamp stand when she first saw dad. She hadn't known he was a vampire but the fact that some man sat perched in her window in the dark of the night was unnerving enough. Lord knows what she would've don if she HAD KNOWN that he WAS indeed a vampire. My mom had dirt blond hair and bright green eyes. She was really young and alive. I know that some bad history exist between her and ad concerning how she got here and him claiming her but there passed that and it makes me glad. Don't get me wrong my mom has a choice in staying here. My dad really grew to love her and that's what counts. But enough of the sap because I'm pretty sure your all gagging and making appointments for insulin shots as I speak, because I'm ready to gag. I can't believe I just got that sappy.
"You've been standing in the doorway for the last few minutes, I'm your mom hon I don't bite." She looked thoughtful "Even if your father does." She smiled and I returned the favor as I set my bag down by the door.
"Duo how many times have I told you that somebody can trip on that while walking in through the door." (3)
She fixed me with a look. I sighed and moved the back pack. Well maybe if people watched where they were going they wouldn't trip. I think I was grumbling.
"Ok Mr. go ahead and leave it there." I continued moving it.
"No leave it let's see what happens." She gave me a 'this will be interesting lets see what happens look' and continued circling through the catalogue. I wonder what she's thinking. She looks a little too smug. I began rummaging through the fridge in search of something to snack on
"So hows it goin at school D?" My mom is the only one who calls me D. I like it though cause it makes me feel even closer to her. In fact she's the only one I allow to call me D. Not even my dad because I'd imagine it'd sound kinda weird. I smirked in triumph as I found a "Go Gurt to slurp on.
"It's alright, Mrs. Alsendor has been more irritable AND irritating lately though." My mom snorted.
"Well if you would wake up and try to make it to class on time maybe she'd be a little more tolerable." She continued circling through her catalogue but I could tell she was smirking. I waved my hand at her.
"She's just cranky and old so she's just trying ot make me miserable because I'm young and care free." Mom once again snorted and this time looked at me.
"Whatever YOU say Duo." I continued slurping on my "Go Gurt" cheerfully.
"Duo do me a favor I think I heard the elevator, go see if that's your father." I got up and stepped into the hall way. Yup it was him. I turned around to go back inside.
"Yea's he's coming right this wa-" It was then that I noticed the floor was coming at me with a lot of force. Oh Dear.... I made a nice thud sound (notice how much I end up in these thud situations) as I hit the floor. I heard my mom snort though this time I'm pretty sure it was to suppress laughter. I looked up from my spot on the floor and saw her eyes gleam with amusement.
"Hey Duo What you up to, lookin for dust mites down there?" I looked up to see my dad give me a confused expression. I groaned.
"Told you not to leave your back pack there." Mom then started laughing. My dad continued looking confused and just buried my face in the carpet. Yup today was definitely an average day.
(X)(x)(X)
(1) I know Duo seemed a little un rational and eccentric at this part but it seemed beneficial to plot development. And plus I liked it.....
(2) For those who watch Rurouni Kenshin. I notice that whenever Megumi teases Kaoru when she flirts with Kenshin she does that exact gesture and rolls her eyes to the side. Instead of laughing like 'hahhaha' she does this 'Ohohohohohoh' thing. Am I the only one who see's that?
(3) My dad is always telling me this. I've never actually tripped and no one else has so.... err....yea
Notes: That was chapter 2 of what is now "My Life Turned Inside Out". I promise that the plot will start to kick in by the next chapter. Please Review because if there are no reviews then I can't keep writing because there would be no point. SO please review it doesn't matter just as long as you tell me what you think of it.
