Lost
Sirens could be heard in the distance, shattering the peace and quiet at the orphanage. Duo looked up from his book wondering what could have happened in the small town in which he lived.
-------------------------------------Scene change-----------------------
"We are terribly sorry to disturb you, Heero, but there has been an accident." The police officer paused..." Your parents died in a car crash." Again there was a pause as Officer Justin looked to see how the young teen was handling the news.
Heero stood still and silent while the police officer informed him of his parents' death. His features showed nothing, there was no indication of what he was feeling. No anger, grief or sorrow. Nothing. His eyes were expressionless and his face could have been carved in stone.
Sighing the officer continued." We need you to come down to the station to identify them."
The only response he got was a quiet "hn" as Heero silently followed him to the car.
--------------------------Next day------------------------------
Duo Maxwell was grinning like an idiot while playing with the younger orphans.
"Hahhaaa. Come on Duo, your it."
"Ohhh no I'm not you little monster" He shouted back breathlessly "At least not once I catch you"
"But you can't catch me, I'm faster then you" Rose-ann giggled as she scampered to get away from her friend.
"hmmph"
Falling, she quickly glanced up at a tall brown haired teen..."Who are you?"
Instead of answering Heero just glared at her before following Officer Justin up to the house. Duo stared in complete shock at the young teen. I can't believe him. He just left her without so much as a hello.
------------------------------Inside------------------------
" Well this is where I leave you." Said Officer Justin, indicating Sister Helen, who ran the orphanage. Again Heero's cold stare was directed towards him." Thank you" Heero said before turning to Sister Helen, clearly dismissing the officer.
"Welcome Heero, come with me and I'll show you where you will be sleeping."
Heero followed her without question, while trying to take in his surroundings. Sister Helen was soft spoken and gentle to the children that came up to them as they made their way through the house. The orphanage had a very welcoming and calm atmosphere. But he didn't dare relax, for the most welcoming of places could also be the most dangerous.
Eventually Sister Helen turned down a hallway, stopping at a closed door. "This is your room Heero, and since there is only one other boy here about your age you will be sharing a room with him."
As she spoke, Sister Helen opened the door revealing a large room with two beds. Heero cautiously entered the room, inching past Sister Helen, without taking his eyes off her. Even though she was in charge of the seemingly peaceful home, he did not feel secure enough to have his back turned to anyone.
"Now there are a few rules I would appreciate if you followed. First there is to be no eating in your room or the play area, secondly I would like you to be indoors by 9:30 and no later. Breakfast is at 7:30 on school days and 8:30 on weekends, lunch is at noon and dinner is at six. I think that's it for now. Any questions?"
Heero had stood quietly staring at her the whole time.
"hn"
"Is that a yes you understand or a no you want me to clarify?" Asked Sister Helen with a small smile.
This boy certainly doesn't like to talk
"Yes, I understand"
"Very well Heero, would you like to stay here and unpack or would you like to come down to meet some of the others?"
"I'd like to stay here, if you don't mind."
"Of course not or I wouldn't have suggested it. I'll leave you to unpack and we'll introduce the others around dinner time" Sister Helen then left the room giving Heero some time alone.
Heero just stood and stared at the closed door.
She's letting me be by myself without questioning or supervising me. WHY. She doesn't even know me.
He then looked around the room. On the one side there was a stereo with a stack of CD's beside it, a small desk with some papers and a few books scattered across it, and a bed with some pictures above the headboard.
I wonder whom I'll be sharing a room with; Sister Helen didn't give a name.
Heero slowly made his way to the unoccupied side of the room, placing his lab top on the desk, and his duffel on the bed, sitting himself on the bed as well.
Now what? I don't have much, so I don't see the point in unpacking everything. Maybe I should go down and ask Sister Helen about the others.
Heero, who was still deep in thought, did not hear the quiet footsteps, as Duo made his way into the room.
He looks so lost
He stood there for a second, taking in the sight of the teen sitting dejectedly on the bed.
"Hey" Duo said softly. "What's your name?"
Heero jumped. How the hell did he get in here without me hearing him? He quickly glanced up at the other teen. "Heero Yuy"
"Name's Duo Maxwell: I may run and hide but I never lie, Nice t'meet cha"
He said with a huge grin. "Sister Helen told me that I was to have a roomy and ta come and get you to introduce ya to the others before dinner."
Saying all that with out so much as a pause for breath, Duo reached out to take hold of Heero's hand. As soon has he moved, however, Heero immediately tensed and backed up a space.
"Sorry man, didn't mean to startle you" apologized Duo
"Hn"
What happened to him to make him react like a trapped rabbit?
Thought Duo as he led Heero to the dinning room.
After dinner Heero retreated to his room. Duo just stood and watched him leave. Heero had said nothing during dinner and had not acknowledged the others after the initial introduction. Mechanically eating his meal, his eyes on his food and no one else the whole time.
"Sister Helen?"
"Yes Duo?"
"What's wrong with Heero?"
"I'm not sure dear, I do know that his parents died in a car crash last night, but that's all I know about him."
After listening to Sister Helen, Duo made his way up to his room. Pausing outside the door, he listened trying to figure out what Heero was doing. Hearing nothing Duo quickly made his way into the room. Upon entering Duo noticed that the window was wide open, but Heero was not in the room.
"Heero?"
Running to the window, Duo looked out, scanning the yard. After a while he noticed a lone figure sitting under a tree by the house. Letting out a sigh of relief, Duo shut the window and went outside to find Heero. As he neared, Duo noticed that Heero was asleep.
I wonder why he's out here and not in our room. This is the first time I've seen him relax since he got here, maybe I should leave him and just notify Sister Helen about where he is.
He ran back to the house, quickly finding Sister Helen. "Sister Helen?"
Yes Duo"
"Heero is outside, except he's fast asleep and it's the first time I've seen him relaxed, should I take a blanket out to him and check on him later? I don't really want to disturb him right now."
"Very well Duo, find him a blanket but make sure you check on him before you go to bed."
"Yes sister"
Dashing up the stairs Duo located a blanket and made his way back outside to Heero. Gently placing the blanket on the slumbering teen, Duo brushed the bangs off of Heero's face. "Good night Heero." Duo whispered, walking silently back to the house.
Never noticing the confused Prussian blue eyes following him.
