Morning, Duo awoke to the bright morning sun beaming in his eyes from the wide
city view window. Rolling over he glanced to the floor, his eyes still burning
from the sunlight, to see his water bottle had split. Shrugging, Duo rolled
himself off the couch and stood up, choosing to ignore the wet mess.
Scratching the back of his neck he yawned as he made his way around the couch.
But remembering, he stopped. Duo's heart sank as he was filled with
disappointment.
"He didn't show up..." He whispered with a grim smile.
He hadn't really expected Heero to show but he had allowed a small hope to
rise inside of him that he would. 'After so long...' He thought, sighing. 'I
thought he would've came.'
Slightly irritated, Duo made his way into the bathroom, roughly ripping the
damp towel from around his neck and tossing it aside. Sliding his black pants
down his slender legs and unhooking the leather contraption on his chest from
his performing costume, Duo collected his dirty clothes and tossed them out
into the hall as he did the towel. Turning on the taps in the tub, he adjusted
the temperature to his liking before slipping under the streaming water that
poured down from the showerhead. The hot water began to relax his tense
muscles as it trickled down his body, washing away his worries. Closing his
eyes he enjoyed the soothing sensation as he let his mind drift to a relaxed
state.
Heero was moaned as he was pulled roughly from his sleep. Aroused into
bewilderment as he found himself in the hands of two men. Immediately he
tensed up, mentally kicking himself for letting his guard down. Glancing
around he noticed he was in a hallway before he realized he'd fallen asleep
while mulling over his thoughts the night before. 'Idiot.' Heero cursed to
himself. He knew better then to lash out on the guards. It'd only make more of
a scene then needed.
"What are ya doing here kid? No visitors." A guard barked grumpily as he
pulled Heero further onto his feet.
Heero let his head slump forward, listlessly awaiting to be thrown out.
"Search 'em. He could be trouble though he seems to be out of it." 'Great.'
Heero grimaced as he remembered the carelessly place revolver tucked under his
shirt in the side of his shorts.
"Whats going on..?"
Heero's head snapped up to see Duo standing in the doorway in a white bath
robe looking a bit miffed. The security guards grip on his arms tightened with
the sudden action. It took a couple of seconds for something to trigger in
Duo's mind as he stared down at his apprehended friend.
"Hee-chan... You came!" Duo exclaimed after a few lame seconds with
dumbfounded look
Glancing at one another, the two men released the boy from their grasp seeing
that their boss recognized and seemed to be expecting him. Heero stumbled
forward from being released before straightening up. He looked almost
embarrassedly at the grinning Duo who quickly ushered him into the hotel room.
As Heero slowly stepped past him, Duo turned to his security guards with a
reassuring smile as he noticed their suspicion. "No need to worry guys. He's
an old friend... harmless." He knowingly lied. Duo almost felt nervous himself
after hearing the word 'harmless' being associated with Heero. Taking his word
the guards nodded and were on their way back towards the elevator.
Turning back to Heero, Duo's grin returned to his lips as the door click shut
behind him. Heero looked rather awkward as he stood, his eyes aloof, in the
cramped entrance hallway. "I didn't think you'd come!" Duo chirped, slipping
past Heero and disappeared into his bedroom. Heero listened silently as he
heard clothes pulled out of a bag and pants slipped on. Duo reappeared in a
part of black jeans and an open black button down shirt. He beamed happily at
Heero as his friend stared at him with a blank expression. Duo fumbled with
his buttons as he mulled over what to ask.
"So what have you been doing over this past couple of years?"
"Nothing."
"Talk to any of the others since the war?"
"No."
"What brought you to the here to this colony anyway?" Duo huffed, finishing
buttoning his shirt.
Heero chose to look away at that point, scared that he might let a guilty look
slip. He was cornered. He could try to lie but he knew he wouldn't be able to
explain their earlier encounter. Seeing how uncomfortable his query had made
his friend Duo quickly decided he didn't care.
"Wanna go get some breakfast?" Duo suggested, resting his hand gently on
Heero's bony shoulder.
Heero secretly savored Duo's warm touch before giving a slight nod as he
regained eye contact with him. Duo seemed relieved with his answer as he
slipped past him to retrieve his coat. Heero was slow to follow him as Duo
rested the leather jacket on his arm as he pulled open the door. "I know this
great coffee shop. They make the best..." Duo glanced back at Heero with a
oddly serious look that seemed to alarm Heero, "I mean the BEST Danish!"
'Typical Duo...' Heero smiled inwardly as he stared at Duo's back as the wet
haired boy chattered on and on. It was hard to believe how badly he'd missed
hearing Duo's cheerful voice... wether it was talking about food or the sky,
it didn't matter. It was calming.
Please tell me what you thought. :3
