Author's notes: what is wrong with you people! How can ya'll love this story so much? Haha! I HATE this story! I wrote about 4 chapters years ago, gave up coz I thought it was bad, and NOW I have to FINISH it because of you stupid adoring fans!... oh, but I DO love the sudden massive amount of reviews pouring in:D lol attention seeking much? Hahaha! I haven't had so many reviews all over 1 chapter in.. EVER!

Okay new chapter is up! As you can prob tell, it's an AU fic.. I have NO idea why I decided to make Duo the stoic, hot/cold, bastard one- I just thought it would be different to the typical stories around! But yeh leme know what'cha's think!

Ch3: are we dating?

Was it love? I remember my stomach fluttering during those last few hours before I was going to meet with Duo for coffee. I didn't know what made me feel that way. I'd never experienced love before so I was unsure if that's what it was.

I stood outside the coffee shop and looked at my watch. One forty-five. We agreed to meet at 2. For the first time in my life I was early somewhere. I had 15 minutes to kill, so I sat on a park bench and began daydreaming.

I'd remembered a conversation I had with Quatre the night before.

"I'm so nervous! What am I going to say? What am I going to wear? This guy seems different to the others. He started of as an asshole, but I think he's nice inside. My stomach feels funny when he's around."

"Ooh! Somebody's in love!" Quatre giggled. Stupid giggle puss loves saying that line!

Was it love? I had no idea. I guess all I could do was wait and see.

I began day dreaming again. I imagined that Duo and I were on a beach, watching the sun go down. The breeze was cold but Duo kept me warm with his arms around me. He looked at me and whispered "Can I kiss you?" I smiled and replied "You had to ask?"

…Then my daydream got cut off when I saw Duo coming from around the corner. Here we go, I thought to myself.

---------------------------------------------------------

Okay so coffees went well.. I think. I learnt that he's got a gorgeous smile, he lives with two housemates about 10 minutes away from me (YAY!), he grew up in an orphanage and that he loves playing pool.

He offered to pay too! How cool could this get! Maybe a romance really is in the air?

---------------------------------------------------------

With hindsight I feel that I should've known what was going to happen next. I should've expected Duo to ask me back to his place. Usually I would've said no because I didn't know the guy. But something made me say yes. I didn't know if it was lust or love; whether it was purely hormones or something more.

Duo took off his jacket as we entered the kitchen. "Do you want something to drink?" Duo asked as he placed his jacket on one of the bar stools.

I was so nervous, my stomach felt like Wufei was doing burn outs in it with his jeep! "Water's fine."

Duo poured each of us a glass of water and we sat next to each other at the kitchen bench. Neither of us said anything. We just stared at each other. God his eyes are amazing! His lips..I just want to kiss him! I wonder what he really thinks of me! Oh God! What if I don't look as hot to him as he is to me?

There wasan awkward silence. Duo had a slight smirk on his face. Far out, he looks so sexy, confident.. Did I mention sexy? I couldn't understand why he was smiling.

I sat there like a stunned mullet as his hand brushed away the bangs from my eyes, only to fail miserably when my stupid hair that has a mind of it's own fell back to it's usual place over my eyes. "You're so beautiful," he whispered. Whaaaaa? Did he! Was he? What the?

Before I had a chance to respond, he'd moved closer and began kissing me. His lips were cold from the cold water. My senses ran wild as our lips warmed up again. I want to be closer to him! I want his body all over mine! The chairs we were sitting on were too far away from each other and so we both stood and wrapped our arms around one another.

My mind went numb. All I could think about was the kiss. I felt so good, so secure, so safe around him. Is he! OMG! He is! He began unbuttoning my shirt, pushing it off my shoulders. I still had my arms in the sleeves so the shirt just dropped around my lower back. Is this really wise? Will I ever see him again after this? ..YES! I think so! He saw I go pissed off last time when he nicked off after sex. Now we went out for coffees, so we're sort of dating aren't we?

Oh God, he smells so good. I want sex. Honest, but true.. I was after all, still a teenager! I have no idea what gave me the idea, but I dropped to my knees. Maybe it was because I'd fantasized about this before with one of my exes.. Could also be because I told Trowa about it and then he and Quatre actually did it! Either way, random sexual favours should be a norm in homes these days! Does that make me dirty? No! I'm just under sexed!

I could feel the cold tiles through my jeans but I didn't care. I began undoing the fly of Duo's pants. He let me do the honors and he placed his hands at his side. Ooh! He's got big hands!

As I slid his jeans down I looked up and smiled at Duo. I read that in a magazine once! 'Eye contact is essential'! Duo knew what was going to happen next as he smiled back. I slid down his boxers, exposing his already hard cock. I wrapped my fingers around it and began to move my hand up and down the shaft. Just remember what you read in the magazines! I breathed hot air over the head and licked a circled around the width. I could hear Duo's breathing get stronger as he moved his hips forward towards my mouth. I smiled. Gee, someone wants more. I thought to myself. I stopped sliding my hand up and down his cock and lifted it up, exposing his balls. He moaned as my warm tongue met them.

Damn, I hope he does this for me later- I'm getting hard as a rock over this!

As I lowered his cock, I licked the underside of it. I could hear him let out a frustrated moan as my tongue slid past the tip of the head, letting some pre-come ooze onto my tongue.

Gotta let him think I know what I'm doing.. I want him to think I'm a sex god!

"Please... Do it!" He moaned as he moved his hips back and forth, his head rolling back. His hand grabbed the bench behind him for support.

I looked up at him and our eyes met. Eye contact is essential! My eyes never left his as I enveloped him, letting out a slight hum as my lips passed the head. My left hand was on the back of his ass, caressing it lightly. My right hand thrusted up and down his cock in opposition to the movements of my mouth. I could feel Duo's hand on the back of my head, running through my hair and guiding me to move faster or slower.

I moved my head back to tease the tip with the underside of my tongue, then with the rough top of my tongue. I could feel my own body heat up from thinking about how good it would feel to have him inside me, kissing me, touching me. I moved my lips down the length of his hard cock and sub-consciously began touching myself as I gave him pleasure. My own free hand moved down my waist and down my jeans as I began to rub myself in time with Duo's hip movements. I imagined it was his hands on me and not my own.

Oh God this feels so good! I want him inside me! I need it!

"I'm cumming!" Duo whispered. Within seconds a warm liquid began to fill my mouth and down my throat. I lapped it up but it was hard to concentrate on the swallowing because I was too busy finishing myself off with my other hand. Great. Now I gotta go change my pants before I meet up with the boys tonight!

Duo guided me off the floor and back onto my feet. He kissed me softly and whispered a "Thanks" in my ear.

"No problem," I said back. We stood in the kitchen and hugged. Suddenly I heard the front door opening.

"Oh fuck! My housemates!" Duo huffed. He quickly pulled his pants back up and grabbed my hand. "Shh," he whispered as he quickly, but quietly, led me down the hallway towards his bedroom. "Stay in here for a sec. They don't know you're here," he whispered as he buttoned up his jeans. I nodded in compliance.

I stood against the side wall so if his room mates did happen do go in his room, I would be hidden behind the door. I heard Duo greet his friends. There was a girl and a guy. I didn't dare look out the door incase they saw me, but I did recognize the voice of the girl. Does Duo live with Hilde? Hilde was a girl in my management class.

I listened as they talked about dinner and about some show on T.V. A few minutes later, Duo returned. "I should go," I whispered. Duo didn't try and make me stay. His house mates were home so there was no point in me being there. We couldn't do anything 'cause they were there and we wouldn't be able to talk because his room mates would hear us. And they didn't know I was there. Hold up.. Why didn't he introduce me to them? Don't they know he's gay?

I kissed Duo goodbye and he led me to the front door. "C-ya," I whispered. Duo waved back and then went back into the house. I walked to the nearest bus stop so I could catch the first bus home. I looked at my watch. I had 15 minutes to kill until the bus would come. So I sat at the bus stop and re-lived my short moments with Duo. I'm gonna need a shower after all this.

----------------------------------------------------------

Every now and then, when I think back to having sex with Duo, I get that feeling like I can't breathe. I get a sharp pain in my chest –as if my heart has skipped a beat. I have no idea why it happens!

-------------------------------------------------------

When I got home I realized that I don't have Duo's phone number. I had no way of contacting him at all during the week and I never see him around Uni, except for that one lecture! I huffed to myself when I realized that I'd have to wait until Monday (again!) before I would see him next. This is getting ridiculous! I thought to myself.

And so the remainder of the week came and left before I knew it. I copped another lecture from Wufei about how Duo's not treating me right and that he's not worth pursuing. I told him that I'd take it into consideration depending on Duo's behaviour on Monday. If he's a jerk then it's over. But if we get along and connect, then I'll continue to pursue him. Wufei also said that in the end it's my decision is all up to me because it's my life. And that's what makes it so scary. I can't decide anything with a clear head when Duo's around!

--------------------------------------------------------

That Monday morning I was late again. It wasn't on purpose this time. I stayed up late reading the night before and I slept in. I was only 10 minutes late, but tardiness is tardiness!

I walked through the empty hallway towards the lecture theater. As I walked into the lecture hall I noticed that there was a different lecturer, and not that stupid bitch who ignores the students. As I walked to my seat the lecturer continued talking, but nodded to me, acknowledging my presence. I continued making my way up to my usual seat up the back. Duo was already there sitting in my seat like the previous week. I sat down next to him.

"Morning," I whispered.

"You're late," He told me. Pfft! Like anyone REALLY cares about rolling up to this lecture, let alone being late!

"You're the one who usually rocks up to class 40 minutes late," I replied. I still didn't know yet what to make of him. One minute he's giving me the shits, the next I just want to ride him! Is he wearing sexy pheromones or something?

Duo leaned forward and placed his arms on the desk as he looked at me. "Well I felt motivated to wake up early today," he smiled.

Play dumb, Heero. "Oh yeah? How come? What's the motivation?" I asked. I wanted him to tell me I was beautiful, that he loved me and that he wanted to have his wicked ways with me! But that's not how it happened..

Duo smiled and leaned back in his chair. He faced the front again. "Don't make me say it."

Huh! Why isn't he telling me I'm sexy and that he wants to ride me all night long?

"Why not?" I replied. I was stunned. I couldn't tell if he didn't want to say it 'cause he was shy or if he found it repulsive to show emotions. He never answered my question. After a few minutes I gave up and focused my attention back towards the front of the room.

This new lecturer may have seemed nicer than the previous bitch, but after an hour, I changed my mind. He wouldn't let us have a break halfway through the lecture! Dodgy bastard. I came to the conclusion that no teacher could ever make Commercial Law seem interesting. So I pulled out my notebook and began my routine doodling. I caught Duo glancing at the page a few times. I wasn't drawing anything terribly good, but it was more interesting than learning about 'suing your dry cleaner.'

He's still lookin' at my book! It was giving me the irrits. I usually don't like people looking at my drawings, even if they compliment it- I just don't like them watching while I work.. or draw.. and Duo's already on my shit list. Why is he so hot and cold?

"You know, I haven't got your number," I whispered, not taking my eyes off the page I was drawing on. Duo took his eyes off the page and focused his attention back towards the front of the room. I got annoyed and repeated myself. "I said I haven't got-" But he cut me off.

"I heard you," he snapped back. "What do you want? A medal or something?"

What a bastard! This guy has some serious issues! I was shocked by the response. "What's with you?" I said a little louder than I wanted. A few people in the row in front of us turned around.

Duo didn't even look at me. He just shook his head. He looked seriously annoyed. "It's nothing," he replied. Before I knew it, he picked up his bag and made his way towards the front of the room. I thought he was going to leave, but instead he sat back in the front like he usually does. I was pissed off. Really pissed off. If I'm going to have to put up with THAT all the time, then he can just forget it! Duo didn't turn around at all for the remainder of the lecture. I didn't even bother looking for him after the lecture.

-------------------------------------------------------

That Thursday night I went out clubbing again with Wufei, Trowa and Quatre. Trowa spent half the night trying to set me up with some of his friends from his Uni, but I declined. Quatre told me off for declining because he knew those guys were my type and he also knew that deep down I was still hung up on 'that guy.'

Duo's not even worth my time! I don't even know what I saw in him! I can easily have more fun with Trowa's friends! But I couldn't bring myself to kiss any of Trowa's (cute) friends. Trowa hinted that the best way to get over someone is to sleep with someone else. He also hinted that if I needed someone to help get over Duo that he'd offer to 'help' me because 'that's what friends are for'. I couldn't help giggling when he said that. Boy, someone's frustrated! – or just a man- ho! I thought to myself.

Quatre had told us that he was 'tired' and left early. By the end of the night, Wufei had gone home with one of Trowa's gal pals. She was a total slut, but the woman-hating bastard needed to get laid!

And I was left alone with Trowa. Technically it wasn't the end of the night. It was the beginning of the next morning. Trowa and I left the club and began making our way to the train station to catch the 4am train back home.

"So tell me, Heero," he said casually. "What is it that that bastard Duo has that I don't have or any other guy doesn't have?" I just looked at my feet and shrugged.

Trowa got annoyed. "No. I want a proper answer this time. You barely know the guy and he doesn't make ANY effort in what you call an excuse for a relationship. Why do you even bother with that guy? What is it that you see in that jerk that we don't?" he scolded. Is Trowa only saying this because he's wanted to sleep with me for a while now? Nah.. Can't be.. He's saying it because he's my friend!

Trowa made a pretty strong point about how bad a person Duo was. I began to think that my feelings for Duo were nothing more than lust and hormones. I couldn't think of anything that made me like him. I didn't know anything about the guy! I only knew one thing. "I'm attracted to him, Trowa," I said. Trowa never mentioned Duo again during the train ride home.

Trowa and I lived across the road to each other. He lived with his sister, Cathy and I lived with my uncle Odin. As we walked, more like stumbled drunkily, into our street, Trowa put his arm around my shoulder. "I don't want you to fall for this guy because he's the first one to show you some attention since your ex," Trowa explained. "There are heaps of guys who want you, Heero!"

I think someone's had one too many tequilas!

We reached Trowa's door step first. Only because he led me there with his arm around my shoulder. "Oh," I replied. "Like who?"

Trowa removed his arm and smiled. "Me!" Far out this guy will sleep with anything on two legs!

"You're with Quatre," I replied before I realized what I'd said sounded more like 'if you weren't with Quatre, I probably would sleep with you'!

Trowa maneuvered his hand as if he was brushing something away. "Nah, we're not an item," He explained. "We're just fuck-buddies!"

"Which you want us to be?" I asked. Whoah! I've usually backed out of the conversation as soon as Trowa even MENTIONS sleeping with me.. Now I'm friggn' humoring him? ..might not be a bad idea though.. No! No! I can't!

Trowa didn't need a second to even think about my question. "Yes!" he grinned cheekily. Trowa was good looking, but I never allowed myself to think of him like that. He was too much of a man-ho for me! I didn't reply. I wanted to tell him 'thanks, but no thanks', but I didn't say anything. I don't know why though.

Then I could feel Trowa's hand on my cheek. He was taller than me, and his eyes were such a bright green, it always made me envious that I couldn't have eyes like his. "You're a handsome guy, Heero. You don't need Duo. You can have any guy you want!" And with that, Trowa planted a kiss on my lips. I wasn't sure whether I should respond to it or not. I didn't want him to get the idea that I wanted to sleep with him, but I had to admit it was a great kiss. After a few seconds, Trowa pulled back and looked at me. His hand still held my cheek. "Good night," Trowa smiled.

Man, I'm so fucked up! Is Duo even worth my time? Is Trowa right?
