"It's not formal Duo." Quatre started to laugh. Duo glared at him. "I don't know what you're so antsy about."
"You really want to know Quatre?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, don't say I didn't warn you." Duo said. "You go and try to steal my devil incarnate, then you keep a secret from me and you did not warned me that you were with Trowa earlier."
"I'm sorry Duo." Quatre giggled. It was exactly seven and Trowa walked out, followed by a miserable looking Heero. "He's cute when he pouts." Quatre said and that earned a glare from Duo.
Duo sat in the front with Quatre and this relieved Heero so much. His cousin betrayed him and so many other people here. Was it so hard to make friends, people that won't try and rape him when he least expects it.
"So where do you want to go to first guys?" Quatre asked as he started his SUV. "I already got us a reservation so it's no big deal if we're late."
"I don't care." Duo muttered.
"What about a dinner and a movie." Quatre said. "We can eat first and watch a movie at the theaters."
"That sounds fine." Trowa said. Heero did not respond he was busy putting his barrier up to avoid talking and he tried his best to ignore Duo. But he couldn't ignore the other boy. Heero sighed and wondered what went wrong to get himself stuck in this mess.
Quatre steered into a pack parking lot in front of Aerial's diner. It the Denny's of the rich and many students from the school hanged out here, because there was a movie theater nearby and two miles east was a drive in theater and across the street was an arcade. After Quatre parked his truck. Everyone jumped off and Heero slowly got out, avoiding the three other teens, even if one of those teen was his cousin. Quatre and Trowa slowly inched closer as they neared the restraunt and Duo, acting on impulse lazily draped his arm around Heero and Heero immediately stiffened at the invasion of privacy.
"What do you think you are doing?" Heero hissed. Duo only grinned and brought him closer, this earned a blush from the japanesse boy and Duo inwardly smirked.
"Try to loosen up a bit, it might do you some good." Duo said and this earned a kick to his shin from Heero. Duo immediately grasped his leg with both hands. "What the hell did you do that for!" He yelled.
Heero stiffen at the anger in Duo's voice, "I don't need this crap." Heero muttered.
"Cripes, Heero you are so damn stiff!" Duo glared still massaging his shin. Trowa and Quatre stopped walking, clearly hearing Duo's yelp.
"Tell it to someone who cares." Heero muttered.
Quatre walked up to them. "Are you two okay?"
Duo nodded and Heero only glared. Quatre sighed and Trowa threw his cousin a dirty look, which of course Heero ignored.
"Maybe we should go to that Arcade…"Quatre trailed off. "It'll cool you guys off."
"That's the best idea I've heard all day!" Duo exclaimed, forgetting about his forming bruise. He grabbed Heero's hand and dragged the reluctant boy across the street.
"You'll like this place, Heero." Duo said. "This is the best hangout for all the surroundeing schools, including the local high schools."
Once they were inside, they were greeted by the site of platform games, fighting games, race games a few kiddie games. Plus it was pack with more then three dozen teens at each game, but most were at the bowling alley on the top floor. The snack bar was completely packed, but the good thing about it was that all the games were free.
"We've gotta try this cool game that just came out." Duo was completely excited over the noise and the games. Heero felt out of place and overdressed. "It's called Gundam. Bandai just released it recently on arcade."
Before Heero could finish taking in everything, someone grabbed him by the shoulder. He expected it to be Trowa, but it was another teen the same height that he was, only he had dyed, spiky red hair and his contacts were white.
"Hey." He said. "You wanna have fun."
Duo was busy talking about the new Gundam game, that he ignored Heero. Heero gulped and shook his head no.
"Aw, come on don't be like that. I need to beat another person at Air Hockey so I can beat the record from the previous king."
Heero looked at the far corner where there was a group of kids surrounding a long, blue table. It looked simple enough so Heero looked back at Duo, who was only apparently ignoring him for another guy. Heero felt a tinge of jealousy and quickly stuffed at. This didn't go notice by the red-hair teen.
"Seems your companion is too busy for you. He won't miss you. I promise." Heero felt himself being dragged for the second time. He was still feeling slightly sick from last night and was greatful, that it wasn't too loud in the arcade. Trowa and Quatre never made it to thr front door, seeing that the blond had other plans. He took Trowa around the alley where he pushed the taller boy up against the wall. Trowa offered no resistant as Quatre started to kiss him, passiontly.
"This is fun." Heero said after minutes of playing Jamie. The kid with the dyed hair.
"Told ya' so." Jamie managed to say. "Man you're good. Where did you learned to play?"
Heero blushed, he never been complimented before in his life. "This is my first time." Heero said as he made another score, which evened it out to 2-2.
"Ah, I see." Jamie growled when he hit the puck over the table by accident. It landed at Duo's feet. Jamie went over to pick it up. "Sorry mate. I almost hit you."
Duo was glaring daggers at Jamie. As he recalled, Heero was his date.
"What are you doing Heero?" Duo demanded. His emotions was masked by grim look on his face.
"Isn't it obvious." Jamie said as he placed the puck down. "We're just playing, seeing that you were to busy."
"I wasn't asking you kid." Duo snapped. Heero continued to feel angry with Duo by the minute.
"Then who were you asking." Jamie said conversationally and gave a wry smile to Heero, which startled him. And Duo almost knocked some sense into the kid. He was too jealous to notice that Jamie was only teasing him.
"This is none of your business, so stay out of it!" Duo angrily said.
"Well it became my business when you started snapping at me and my friend." Jamie glared. Heero felt warm. He never had a friend before. "So, do you mind letting us finish this game before you drag your boyfriend away."
Duo stumbled backwards. "We only have a few minutes before we leave." Duo stated.
"He's not my boyfriend."Heero finally said.
"Well it seems like it." Jamie replied. "Sorry for assuming."
"Let's go Heero." Duo clearly said in a toneless voice. "Hanging around with rifraff like him will only get you in trouble."
"What if I don't want to go." Heero matched Duo's tone. "You are not my boyfriend or friend. As far as we both know, you're Trowa's friend, not mines. You are not my mother nor father, so stop ordering me around like a child. I get that both from Trowa and my uncle. I don't need you to do it also." Heero was breathing hard by the time he finished. Those within hearing distance watched the scene and Heero felt heat rise up his neck, but he covered the betraying feeling by glaring at those that were intruding onto a very private conversation. Duo was too shock to say anything.
Duo dangerously narrowed his eyes at both Heero and Jamie. "I expected this from the likes of him Heero, but not from you. You start hanging around trash like him, you might as well be one."
Jamie blanched and Heero felt his anger return ten fold. "Fuck you Duo." He took off from the air hockey, with Jamie at his heel. Duo let them go, not wanting to humiliate himself even further.
