Chapter 1: the begining
My relationship with Duo wasn't always bad. At first it was amazing. Duo opened in me something I thought I had lost. I was able to once again feel something other than indifference. My mask feel more often than not, though only around Duo, I was still not ready to let the others see the real me. But let me start at the beginning, let me tell you how it all began…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a warm spring day, I was sitting in the branch of a large oak tree, about 8 feet from the ground. I felt safe there, able to think about anything that was on my mind. For some reason being up high always helped me to think. Especially on such a magnificent day. Trowa and Quatre were sitting against the trunk immersed in conversation about one thing or another, and Duo and Wufei were sprawled in the grass under the tree playing cards.
"HHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRROOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screeched Releana obnoxiously, as she made her way over to us. I practically fell out of the tree from fright by her yelling, but I recovered myself quickly.
"Oh God, not her, not now!!" wailed Duo
"Duo, without her our fight would be nothing. The peace we fight for can be maintained by her. Show the baka some respect." Growled Wufei. I remained seated on the large branch of the tall oak, I was sure it was to high for Releana, who was wearing an ugly pink ruffle dress, to climb.
"Heero, why don't you come down here, I need to talk to you." Asked Releana trying to put on a set of puppy dog eyes.
"I'm comfortable up here. Just tell me what you need to say from there." I replied nonchalantly.
"But Heero, its private, I don't want the other guys to know about it."
"Whatever you are to tell me Relena, would be common knowledge to the other guys whether you said it in front of them now, or I told it to them later. It makes no difference."
I could faintly hear Duo whisper excitedly to Wufei, "Oh yeah, Heero just have her a beat down!!" who, while in the process of trying to move away from Duo said, "Shut up Duo, I'm trying to listen."
"But Heero…. "
"Releana. What do you want?" I asked, my voice becoming a little raised.
"Um…well, I wanted to know if you were free this Friday night. I um….my school is having a dance, and I was ah….wondering if you wanted to go with me?" Releana looked up at me when she had finished. I could see her eyes pleading with me. 'ha, like that's going to work? What does she think I am? Her boyfriend? Why doesn't she get the clue that I'm not interested in her?'
"No" I said coldly and looked away. Releana stared at me, to shocked to move.
"Woo Hoo, Heero!! You go man!!" shouted Duo happily, "You showed her!!!"
"Shut UP, Duo!" shouted Wufei, equally as loud as Duo.
Finally after a few moments Releana ran away from the us, tears streaming from her face. 'God, I must be a cold bastered' I thought, 'I don't even feel bad I made her cry.' a slight smirk slid over my face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unbeknownst to Releana, she was the first person to actually make me show emotion, even if it was a small smirk. I'm sure if she knew that though I'd never be able to get rid of her. However, Duo was the one who really made me smile, he even got me to do it in front of the other pilots a few times. Well, back to the story…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that night, I was sitting outside our current safe house. This time sitting on the branch of a large maple.
"Gosh Heero, you surly like trees don't cha?" asked Duo with a smile.
"Hn" I replied. Why did he come out here. I was enjoying myself, pleasantly lost in thought, until he showed up and distracted me. Duo had a way of doing that. Always intruding when you didn't want him to. I smirked, remembering the time Duo accidentally walked in an Quatra and Trowa having their first kiss. It took him a week before he could look either of them in the eye again.
"What? What you smirking at Heero?" Duo asked, starting to climb the tree to sit on the branch next to mine.
"Nothing." I replied, looking back up into the night sky. The stars were so beautiful. Whenever I was upset or hurting, I always went outside and tried to count all the stars. It never worked. I always lost count, fell asleep, or just got tired of it and started to find figures hidden in the stars instead. None of the other pilots knew I did that, and I didn't plan on telling them that any time soon.
Duo finally climbed onto the branch and got comfortable. I could feel his eyes on me so I turned to look at him.
"What?" I ask. I didn't like eyes on me. I have had plenty of times when eyes just stared at me through glass. Observing everything I did. Studying me. I hated the feeling of being looked at now. It always made me remember the times in the labs. And believe me, those are times that I don't want to remember and no one wants to know about. Again my time in the labs is something the other pilots don't know about me.
"Oh, nothing." Duo said. He was still looking at me.
"Stop looking at me then." I said, turning my head away from him to continue looking at the stars.
"Yeah know, your beautiful heero." He said, still staring at me.
I couldn't believe he just said that. Beautiful? What was he on drugs? He must have been, I mean, I didn't think Duo went that way, and well I didn't know what way I went since I never felt anything like that towards anyone. A shiver ran down my spine. I was getting increasingly uncomfortable sitting here with him so close. I started to move to get ready to jump down.
"Where are you going Heero?"
"Back inside."
"Are you leaving because of me?" What was I to say to that. I didn't want to hurt Duo's feelings. I couldn't just say 'yes Duo, you make me uncomfortable, I really don't feel like being near you now.' No, I couldn't say that.
"No….Its getting cold out." Moron. What a stupid lie, it was hotter than hell outside, and even hotter in the safe house, on account that the power had gone out from so many people using their AC's and fans.
Duo raised his eyebrow in amusement. "Oh really, would you like my jacket then?" he asked, unwrapping a black jacket from around his waist. I gave him a questioning look as to why, when it's almost 100 degrees (F) out, would he have a jacket? "Hey, ya never know when its going to get cold Heero. Like for instence you just said it was getting cold. So it's a good thing I carry it around. don't you think? Otherwise you would have to go inside and miss this wonderful sky." Fuck. He got me. What was I going to do now? I was still uncomfortable being near him, but I could go inside. Not right now anyway, I had to wait a little while.
Even though I was dying of the heat I took the jacket from Duo and put it on. I might as well try and live though this little lie. Maybe he didn't know I was lying. I mean, he did look a little surprised that I actually put it on. "Wow, I guess you were cold!"
"yeah"
We sat there for a while, just staring at the sky. My body heat was steadily rising. Crap, why do I always put myself in this type of situation. I had to get down from this branch. Before Duo knew what I was doing, I swung my leg over the branch and landed on the ground in a crouch. Unfortunately, Duo followed my actions, plopping to the ground right beside me. "What's up Heero? Where ya goin now?"
"For a walk." I started to head of to a small path that lead to the woods.
"I'll keep ya company, its dark out, and who knows what's in these forests." Duo said jokingly.
"Hn" well I better just accept it and hope it goes ok.
We walked for a long while in silence. Eventually we came to a little stream and a clearing. I was practically burning, so I took the jacket off and sat near the stream sticking my hand in. It was cold to the touch so I cupped my hands and brought some water to my face to drink. It was good. Untainted by human pollution. Duo followed my example, kneeling by the stream and bringing the water to his mouth. A little ways ahead the stream pooled out to make a nice swimming spot. My clothes were already sopping wet from my sweat, so I didn't even bother to take them off when I got to it and jumped in. It felt so nice, I cooled of instantly. I floated on my back for what seemed to be an eternity. It was so peaceful, I never wanted to move again, but of course, Duo had to disturb me once again when I didn't want him to.
Duo had gotten in the water as well, I saw him standing near me with his shirt off. Since he had not been wearing a jacket he was not as hot and had taken his shirt off to keep it dry. I could only imagine that he had done the same with his shorts and I was hoping I was wrong with the next one, but if he had taken the other stuff off to save them from getting wet, then he might not be wearing his boxers either. He was just looking at me as I looked at him. What was he doing? I had had enough. I turned my head back to the sky and shut my eyes again. I felt the water near me moving but I didn't move in hopes that Duo would realize I didn't want him there and so would go away.
"Heero…" Duo said almost in a whisper, "Heero, why are you ignoring me?" Why was I ignoring him? Its not like he had just raped and killed my family, he had only told me I was beautiful, and as strange as that was, it wasn't like it was a life threatening thing.
"I'm sorry Duo, I just wanted to be alone is all."
"Oh, I see." He said turning to leave. Funny thing is I didn't want him to go.
"Wait...Duo, your already here, you might as well stay."
He turned and looked at me, "you sure?"
"yeah" I said. A hint of defeat in my voice. Duo's face just lit up. I'd never seen anyone change their face from a look of rejection to one of complete happiness so quickly. Before I knew what was happening I was standing in the water with Duo's arms wrapped around my waist.
"Duo…what.."
"Oh, sorry Heero." But he didn't let go. He kept his arms wrapped around my waist and just looked into my eyes. I felt like he could see through them and into my sole. It was a scary feeling, I felt open, exposed, and I didn't know what to do about it. Duo's face got closer to mine, and though I knew what he was doing, I didn't make any attempts to get away, in fact I brought my face closer to his!!! Our lips met. Slowly at first. But then Duo took control, realizing I was going along with it. He pressed his lips harder to mine to intensify the kiss. I felt his tongue run along my lower lip in an attempt to open my mouth. It worked. His tongue traveled all over my mouth. I did the same to him. Finally we unlocked our mouths in an attempt to breath again. My head was swimming. I had just kissed another guy, and not just any other guy. I had just kissed Duo!
We didn't do anything else that night except explore each others mouths. When we were done in the water we moved over to the land and lay next to each other. Laying close to keep warm and also to keep our faces close for whenever we felt like another exploration, which I might add was anytime we weren't trying to catch our breath. It was a wonderful feeling. I had never felt so good in my life. Our relationship went like that for a while. It had been four months before we even hinted to the guys that something might be going on. And another 5 months before we had sex. I thought everything was good. I thought it was perfect. But one year after that magical first night was the first time Duo hit me. It was just a slap to the face, but it stung. I took it as his way of dealing with the termination of his job at the Preventors. He loved that job. I didn't know why he was terminated, he wouldn't tell me, but I did know it brought him a lot of pain. I was a Preventor at the time as well. I should have looked into the reasoning of his termination, but I didn't want to go against him. I thought it might have been because he was always late, and always arguing with his superiors. I didn't check the reason of his termination until it was too late. Six months after his termination to be exact. His beatings had been getting worse to me. I had thought it was because he couldn't keep any of his jobs. I would walk into work with bruises on my face and arms. The guys would ask me if everything was ok, and I would make up some excuse for having gotten them. But when he took a knife and started to cut my skin, I knew something was wrong, and I couldn't convince myself anymore that it was just anger from not keeping a job. Duo thankfully didn't cut me where anyone would see, he cut me on my chest, back, and legs. Before I could go into work, however, I had to wrap gauze over me to keep the blood from the still open wounds from getting on my clothes.
When I got to work I went to my office and shut the door. I looked up every file that dealt with Duo. The files I found all had information blacked out. To see why, I would have to hack into the 'Top Secert' files. When I did I wished I hadn't. It turned out that Duo had gotten in a fight as usual with his superiors. He had punched Commander Cohen and left the room. A little while later he got into a fight with a three interns. He put two of them in the critical section of the hospital and killed the other. I had to read the file over 5 times before it penetrated my thick skull.
'It is of my deepest regrets to inform you that Duo Maxwell has been terminated due to his most recent outburst. He has put two interns in critical condition, and killed the other. Unfortunately, we can not arrest him because technically, this program, and everyone one involved, don't exist. Our jails are not good enough to hold him either. Let us just hope that he does something on the outside that will enable us to get him and put him away for good. Yours truly, Lady Une.'
I couldn't believe it. Duo had killed someone in a fit of rage? I was scared shitless now. The something he would be doing to get him in jail for good would be something against me. And that almost certainly meant my death. I had to get away from him. But how? How would I be able to do that? If he had sent two people to the hospital and killed the other over a little disagreement, then what would he do to me if I told him I didn't want to be with him anymore. I couldn't risk it. I'd would have to act as if I hadn't found this out. I would have to act natural around him so that I didn't raise any suspicions in him mind.
I shut down my computer. My stomach was back was starting to hurt again. I put my hand to it to try and sooth it some way, but when I touched my back my shirt felt damp. 'Oh shit' I quickly unbuttoned my shirt to discover there was a blood stain on the back. I had to get out of hear. I put my shirt back on and picked up my old jacket that I left in my office incase I got cold and put it on.
I left the building as quickly as possible and headed to where my pain originated. I headed back to home, where Duo await me.
