"How was detention?" Trowa asked for the third time that night. Speaking to Heero was like speaking to rocks or air. Although either would've been a pleasant conversation when compared to Heero.
"Boring." Surprise, surprise he spoke.
"You can't expect it to be all fun and games." Trowa took a sip of his coffee and stared out the window. "Is that Duo?" Heero turned to look across the street. It was indeed Duo; no one could mistake that long braid. "And ... who is the blond?"
"Quatre." Heero stared at the two bumbling figures, or more like one bumbling figure. Quatre was helping Duo walk. "He looks drunk." Heero shifted in his seat and out of the corner of his eyes he saw a shadow edge slowly around the corner. Heero smirk at the thought of Duo having a stalker, he took another sip of his coffee and saw Quatre hail down a cab so they could get home faster.
"Quatre." Trowa mused and Heero looked a bit disgusted. "Are you sure you're not hungry?" Heero shook his head and Trowa paid for the meal, which consisted of two coffees and a half-finish plate of fries.
It was a long walk back to the dorm without taking the bus and neither of them minded. The night was clear and it was still hot enough to enjoy the brisk walk back.
"I could get use to this." Trowa picked a flower up from the ground, "Living on earth. You don't get to see the moon like this from the colony. It's beautiful."
"You forgot to mention that some cities are highly dangerous."
"Yes. But earth is a beautiful place, Heero. You should learn to appreciate it more." They were now in the lobby of the dormitories.
"There's nothing to appreciate."
"Someday you'll see it my way." Heero gave Trowa a curious look, but Trowa chose to ignore it. "Are you going to sleep in your room tonight?" Heero thought about it for a while. He shouldn't but he did.
"No."
"My intuition was right. I got an extra bed in my room. You could always snuggle into my covers like you used to do when we were kids." Trowa smiled as Heero blushed. He seemed to be contemplating this fact, as his cheeks got redder.
"You don't mind?"
"I don't mind. Just try not to kick me out of bed."
"Affirmative." Heero had on a mischievous smile.
"Don't even think about it."
"Hn. You don't even know what I'm thinking." They had reached the floor Trowa's room was on.
"It's usually something bad." Trowa fiddled with the lock before it finally opened." So you want a pajama or anything? I don't think you want to sleep in your clothes."
"It doesn't matter. I'll still feel the same no matter what I wear." Trowa was right, there was another bed in his room. He must've moved one in while he was in detention. "I'll sleep on the bed." Heero slid under the covers after he changed into Trowa's clothing, or how Trowa puts it: Pj's!
"DUO!" Quatre yelled for the fifth time in the morning. They were really going to be late if Duo didn't wake up. Wufei went to school earlier.
"Hmm."
"Let's go." Quatre was roughly shaking him.
"Go where?" Duo mumbled.
"School."
"Right ..." Duo yawned and rolled over onto his back. Quatre had a light bulb shine atop his golden head.
"Heero is going to be wearing nothing but his boxers." Quatre whispered lightly into his ear.
"He is!?" Duo jumped up and saw Quatre with a sly grin and he blushed." Uh, why do I care? Hope he freezes to death."
"I bet he wants to as well." Quatre was still grinning.
"I don't like that look on your face..."Duo slowly backed off the bed. When Quatre grinned or smirked and had that weird twinkle in his eyes, it wasn't a good thing. "Whoa, look at the time, we're gonna be late." Duo grabbed some clothes and flew into the bathroom. Five minutes later he came out and Quatre still had a glint and now a smirk upon his angelic face.
"I don't think I want to know what you're thinking. So whatever it is, drop it and the answer is no." Duo grabbed his bag and his coat with Quatre smirking and his eyes saying 'I know something that you don't.' It was really unnerving for Duo.
"But I didn't say anything." Duo snorted and started running toward the gate leaving Quatre to shake with laughter. "Yet."
Duo and Quatre made it minutes before the bell as Heero dully noted. And Relena, the girl who was squeezing the death out of his arm, arrived thirty minutes before he came down from Trowa's room and when she saw him, she possessively grabbed onto his arm and, yes, it was now turning blue.
"I have never been to the colonies. They must be beautiful ..." Relena rambled on and on, and Heero wondered if she ever shut up. "Oh look, Duo is here. He is really handsome. I used to date him you know ..." Heero felt like banging his head against a wall or something, anything to get away from Relena. Heero wasn't paying attention to where he was going and he was not paying any attention to Relena, despite her death grip on his arm, so he collided with Duo. Neither were pleased about this. It was Heero's fault and he was taught to be polite.
"Sorry ..." He muttered as he pushed Duo aside to get into class.
"What a surprise. The ice prince and princess are together at last, and in so little time." Heero stopped dead in his tracks when he heard the sneering remark in Duo's voice.
"Hello Duo." Relena chirped. She seemed overly happy for some reason.
"So what did he bribe you with Relena?" Duo asked. She giggled and it irritated the hell out of Heero.
"That's your department." Heero stated. Duo smirked and it ticked Heero off. "I don't need to bribe anyone."
"Really?"
"Hn, really. Unlike you Maxwell." Heero coldly said, "I don't use money to get people to listen to me."
"I doubt that. I don't see you as the type to charm anybody with your good looks." Duo stepped closer to Heero so they were only an inch apart. Heero felt his face burn, but he hoped he wasn't blushing. He stuffed the butterfly in his stomach as he glared at Duo. "Besides even if you did, it would still be funny."
"Whatever." Heero shrugged Relena off none to gently and stormed into the classroom.
The day went by slowly for Duo and it was pure torture in P.E. It was also hell every time he saw Relena latch onto his Heero's arm like a leech. Wait! Stop that train of thought. Heero is not mine. He's a total bastard. I, Duo Maxwell, do no like that blue-eyed angel creep. Oh great, I did it again. Let's get this straight. Heero and I do not see eye to eye, literally. I am much taller than him and he's a cold bastard. Cute as he is, I still hate him.
Finally the day was over for the students, but Duo and Heero had detention together for another week and a half and they had no intention of getting along during that time.
They were sitting far away from each other and Heero was studying while Duo lazily doodled on his desk. He stared at Heero from the side of his eyes. The boy never put down those books. He dropped his pencil and looked straight at Heero. Heero never acknowledged his presence, he practically ignored him. This should be interesting. Duo got up from his desk and grabbed a chair from a table and skidded to a halt in front of Heero's desk. Heero flipped a page of his physics book, never bothering to look up. Duo grinned like a cheshire cat and slammed his hand on top of Heero's book. Heero looked up. And storming winter eyes met shiny summer violet eyes.
"What?" Heero asked with annoyance.
"Heero, I am beginning to think that you don't like me."
"Hn, it's that obvious?" Heero sarcastically asked. Duo smirked.
"So you actually have a sense of humor, not much but it'll do." Heero turned his eyes to a glare and Duo did not flinch, in fact Duo's grin grew bigger.
"Do you have a point?"
"Yes."
"Then make it."
"If you insist." Duo sat down in his chair and his eyes leveled with Heero's" Let's play a little game."
"Which is?"
"You're an impatient one." Duo then cleared his throat while Heero gave him a much colder glare. How many glares does he have!! "Let me state the rules first. If I win, you get to be my slave and if you win, then I'll do anything you want me to do."
"Sounds interesting."
"So then you accept?"
"No." Heero picked his book back up and started to read again. Duo frustrated, sighed, and took Heero's book away from him. Heero let out a helpless gasp, then gave Duo his death glare which Duo chose to ignore.
"Well it doesn't matter if you say no or yes because I am going to be challenging you. Which of course you are not going to back out of it."
"If it gets you to shut up and leave me alone."
"No, not really. But that's besides the point. So you care to try what I had in mind?" Heero thought about it for a couple of minutes.
"What kind of challenge?" Duo smiled.
"Any kind actually and you in return can challenge me. If I can't do it or don't want to, then I lose that challenge, same to you. We should do this until our detention is over."
"Fine."
"Great. I challenge you to a match of wits and cunning. You have to use your brain on this and become physical ... with this, uh, challenge." Duo was blushing. "But then it would probably be easier to just call it a challenge of dare."
"I accept. What do I have to do?"
"Tomorrow, during lunch. I want you to stand on a table and ........." Duo tried not to blush as he pictured Heero stripping in front of the whole school, but that wasn't his challenge. It was mild compared to that; the juicy part would come later on in the week. "Well seeing that you know Relena already, I want you to kiss her. Not just a peck on the cheek or a kiss on her hand, a french kiss. You don't stop until her knees are weak and if she faints then you win." He enjoyed Heero's reaction. He was cute with his pupils gone big and his jaw hanging slightly, leaving his mouth open in a shocked expression. Heero re-collected himself and gave Duo a smirk; it would be called sexy if Heero wasn't making it scary. "You can always forfeit and lose the match." Heero edged closer to Duo so that they were nose to nose and Duo was trying to stop himself from reaching over and just kiss the damn kid.
"I don't intend to lose." The alarm clock on the teacher's desk started ringing, declaring that the detention was over. Heero packed his stuff and left a stunned Duo sitting there with a weird expression on his face.
I almost kissed Heero Yuy. What the hell is going on with me?
"Aaagh. I'm out of here." Duo grabbed his stuff and left the deserted room. But he didn't notice a pair of twinkling sky-blue eyes as he stormed pass Quatre Winner.
Quatre overheard the conversation and thought it was cute when he peeked through the window on the door. And when Heero got up to leave, he ran behind a corner to avoid getting caught. He was going to walk home with Duo, but that could wait while he went to buy a video recorder. This would get interesting, him recording Duo and Heero in detention the whole two weeks. He was sure it would be entertaining.
