'Oh great…' Trowa thought. 'Another class with him…'
Heero stood at the front of the class, like he did during the beginning of every class. He looked around the class and spotted one of Quatre's friends.
'What's his name? Trowa?'
'Why's he looking at me…?'
"Class, this is Heero Yuy. He'll be joining us today. Heero, take a seat anywhere. Today, being the last day of school, we plan to eat and watch a movie."
Heero nodded and began to walk to Trowa in the back of the room.
"Can I sit with you?" Heero asked.
"It's a free country…"
Heero sat down eyeing the boy next to him. 'He doesn't like me…'
'He's looking again…' Trowa thought. "What?" he barked.
"Did I do something to offend you or something?" Heero asked monotonously.
"What are you talking about?"
"It's obvious you have some resentment towards me."
"So what if I do?"
"I just wanna know what I did."
"You came here."
Heero sat quietly, still looking at Trowa. Trowa looked back at Heero, irritably.
"You're his new best friend, huh?" Heero asked after five minutes of silence. Trowa didn't respond.
"Hn. Figures. That's why you two walked off together." Trowa still didn't respond.
"You're lucky."
"Really. And just how am I lucky?" Trowa snapped.
"Quatre's a great guy. I'd do anything to keep him safe. I've been his friend for four years. You've had him for six."
"You make him sound like a trophy. And I've only been his friend for four."
"Why four?"
"Cause I was dumb for two."
"Hn."
"Hm."
"I'm not gonna try to take him away from you if that's what you're afraid of."
"You're doing a bad job if that's your intentions."
"You realize, Trowa, that you're being selfish."
"I'm being selfish?"
"You heard me. And you are."
"And why, pray tell, do you say that?"
"I haven't seen Quatre in six years. I was his best friend before he moved. I missed him so of course I'm gonna wanna spend time with him, especially to talk about what's happened in the past six years. And here you are, getting all hurt just because two friends want to bond after some time."
"I'm not hurt." Trowa said looking away.
"You're a bad liar. Of course you're hurt. Why else would you hate me if I've never done anything."
"I never said that I hated you. You just assumed that I did."
"You lie. Hate is written all across your face. Just ask anyone with eyes. They'll tell you that you just how much you hate me."
Trowa sighed. "I don't hate you."
"Hn."
"He's my best friend…I don't want anything to change that."
"Nothing will. It's not like he's gonna kick you to the curb, Trowa. Quatre's the nicest guy in the world. He'd never do that."
"I know."
"Quatre's obviously happy being your friend. You two are closer than he and I will ever be. And that's fine by me. As long as I know he's happy."
Trowa sighed. 'He's right…I am being selfish…'
They sat in silence for another ten minutes until Trowa finally spoke. "I'm sorry... I'll try not to be a prick anymore. You two deserve some time to catch up…I guess…"
"Hn."
"Hm."
"Truce?"
"Truce."

"Hey Quatre!" Heero called out.
Quatre stopped in his tracks and turned to face Heero. "Yeah?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"What's the deal with Duo?"
Quatre froze. "Uh, whaddaya mean?"
"I feel like he's flirting with me."
"You're crazy, Heero."
"I'm serious. I mean, it's not that I mind or anything, it's just that I don't wanna read him the wrong way."
Quatre was speechless. He simply stared at Heero.
"What?"
"Heero, are you gay?"
"What?"
"You heard me."
"Um…well…would it be a problem?"
"Course not."
"Then yes."
Quatre's stare dissolved into a huge grin. "You're pathetic, Heero Yuy."
"What? Why?" He said, fidgeting.
"Don't worry about it. I am too."
"What? Really?"
"Would I lie?"
"Yes."
Quatre glared at his friend. "About this."
Heero thought about it. "I guess not."
"So don't worry. I definitely don't mind and the guys don't mind either, just as long as you don't hit on the ones who don't like it."
"So…what about Duo?"
"You like him?"
"He's cute…"
Quatre laughed. "I think you should talk to him and not me."
"Hn."
Quatre sighed. "You have nothing to worry about, Heero. Especially with Duo. But I think you should tell him. He likes it when people are open with him and I think, in this case, he'd like to know all he can about you. Since you're new, of course."
Heero cocked an eyebrow at Quatre.
"Speaking of Duo, he's coming this way." Quatre winked, nudging Heero playfully in the ribs.
"Hey guys!" Duo bounded up to his friends. "What's up?"
"My friend is in love…" Quatre smiled.
Heero and Duo both gave Quatre a death-glare before glancing at each other. Quatre just laughed.
"I'll see you guys later. I gotta get going." Quatre waved at his friends and turned to walk to the elementary school down the street.
"Crazy kid…" Duo laughed. "I have no idea about what he's talking about."
"Uh, me neither." Heero said scratching his head. The two stood in an awkward silence.
'He's got beautiful eyes…' Duo thought.
'His hair looks so soft…' Heero observed to himself.
'I like his shorts. They're so tight…'
'His eyes are nice, too. I think violet could be my new favorite color…'
'I can't wait to see him wearing nothing but a bathing suit…'
'He must have a nice body…'
"Hey guys." Wufei strolled up to them.
"Oh hey Wufei." Duo said, breaking away from his thoughts.
"Hey." Heero greeted.
Wufei looked at Duo, then Heero, and then Duo again. 'Oh no. Don't tell me they're in love with each other. Nataku, anything but that…' Wufei shook his head. No one spoke for the next five minutes. "Okay... I'll see you later, then." Wufei shook his head again before walking away.
"Uh, I think we should get going."
Heero nodded and followed Duo.
"So, Heero... Penny for your thoughts?"
'Oh what the hell? Quatre said to be open with him…'
"Heero?"
"I'm gay." He blurted out. "And I think you're beautiful."
Duo tripped over himself. But with Heero's great reflexes, he caught Duo before he hit the cement. Duo looked up at Heero in disbelief.
'I must have been dreaming…' Duo thought. "You wha?"
"I'm gay." 'God, he smells nice…' Heero caressed Duo's cheek. "And I think you're beautiful…"
Duo's jaw dropped. 'I must have died cause I'm in heaven…'
"Duo?"
"Uhhhhhhhhhh..."
"Say something."
Duo stood straight up. Without a word, Duo grabbed Heero's face in his hands and pulled him in to a passionate kiss. Heero was shocked at first but soon melted into the kiss. The kiss was over in a few moments, leaving Heero and Duo breathless.
"Wow…" Duo whispered. He felt like his legs would soon fail him.
Heero simply took Duo's hand in his and started walking where the other two had left off. 'I think I'm gonna like it here…' Heero thought with smile.
Author's Notes/Disclaimer: Oooo...Heero and Duo. Sorry if you don't but I support 1x2. But not as much as I do 3x4. Alrighty. I especially like the "Hn" vs. "Hm" with Heero and Trowa. That's all. Still have no money so don't sue me, please.
