ANSWERS FOR HINTS::::: First hint is Heero, he didn't actually run away. Just took off to steam a bit. And the romance, well you could say all of them had been bitten by the love bug...And their is only a little teensy bit of angst, you won't notice it.
______________________________________________________________________
Heero didn't know why he left the arcade. What Duo said really hurt him. Duo didn't know him at all! And Jamie, was possibly the first person that never bothered to hit on him.
Heero found himself walking to a park, apparently Jamie lead them there. They didn't speak for the full twenty minutes and Heero figured that they were a far away from the aracade.
"Your friend was a complete jerk" Jamie said as he sat on a swing and Heero followed suit. "He had no right to call me trash. Just because he is rich and the almighty Duo Maxwell, doesn't me that he is better than you are me. It just makes him worse as a human being."
"So where do you go to school?" Jamie asked.
"Moriarity." Heero responded. He clutched the swing with both hands and just let the wind push him back and forest with his legs sliding across.
"The prep school?"
Heero nodded.
"So that's the reason why you were with him." Jamie contemplated aloud. "You must be pretty rich then."
"Money is a senseless thing that makes people materialistic."
"Yeah." Jamie sighed. "I'm so going to be late for work. And I didn't even get to finish that damn game."
"I should be getting back." Heero stood up.
"This early?" Jamie also stood. "Come with me to work. My boss doesn't mind. You might just make a few friends."
Heero feeling enamoured with the other teen, followed without hesitation.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid." Duo chanted with the beat of his head hitting the back of Quatre's chair in the truck. "I'm just a complete idiot."
"Yes you are Duo." Quatre nonchalantly said.
"He was just playing a game and here I get jealous." Duo groaned. "Stupid, stupid."
"Yes, you've kept saying that." Trowa said coldly. He was not happy about the fact that he was interrupted with his little interlude with Quatre. And yes he was really angry at Duo, for making Heero take off. The kid was really sensitve.
"Any idea where he might've went?" Quatre asked.
"He might went back to the dorms." Trowa said. "Usually when he gets angry, he goes to his room where he mopes until I have to practically beg him to come out."
"You beg?" Quatre asekd surprise. Trowa blushed and refused to meet his eyes. "I'll keep that in mind."
"Hello, we got a missing 15 year old and all you two can do is flirt." Duo continued to sulk. Now why can't Heero be a bit like Trowa.
Quatre glared at him through the rear view mirror. "Duo we are not flirting."
"Yeah, sure." He muttered.
"Just leave him alone." Trowa said. "He obviously blames us on how his love life sucks."
"That was way below the belt and completely uncalled for." Duo stuck his tongue out at Trowa.
"Would you two stop it." Quatre said as he steered the truck around a corner. "Bickering won't bring Heero back."
"This wouldn't have happened if Duo kept his mouth shut."
"Well excuse me." Duo snarled. "Not like it was my fault…"
"What did you exactly say to him Duo."
"Well, I'm not sure.."Duo trailed off. "Something about being friends with some kid."
"That was probably the first friend he managed to make here." Trowa said. "Heero lived a very sheltered life. And you just ruined his first experiment with someone he might easliy trust and open up with."
"Fine, go ahead and blame it all on me." Duo said. "I was just trying to get him to have fun and maybe trust me."
Quatre snorted. "You hate him the moment you saw him Duo. As I recall, your signals were mixed and Heero wasn't able to pick anything out from you Duo. I mean you hate him one minute then the next you're lusting after the poor boy and then you go back to complaining. If I was Heero, I'll be confuse about you also."
"Shut up and just drive."
"Make up your mind Duo." Trowa said. "Do you want to be Heero's friend or maybe something closer? As I recall, a certain blond named Tommy wouldn't mind getting Heero."
Duo growled. He'll be damn if that ever happens."
"So which one?" Trowa demanded. "Because you get Heero confuse and when he's confused he's angry and I do not like being around angry Heero's."
Duo didn't respond. They were both right. He was physically attracted to Heero, but mentally no. he either gives up on him and let Tommy have him. Duo felt himself grow angry again at the image of Tommy kissing Heero under an orchard.
"Maybe we should find Heero first." Quatre began talking to Trowa. "And let him decided if he wants to hang out with us."
Speaking of decisions, Duo thought. I already made up my mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~___________________________
"This is where you work?" Heero asked, staring around the Teen Pub. It was close to a school. This must be where the kids go after school.
"Yup, I meet all my friends here." Jamie went behind the counter and put on a red apron. "That's Tony, he's my boss." Jamie pointed to a very old looking man. He had a grandfatherly quality about him that made him look nice.
"What do you do?"
"I'm just a waiter type of person, but not always." Jamie grinned as he gave Heero a glass of coke. "Everyone that comes in just orders for drinks."
Heero didn't say anything as he looked at the caffinated drink in his hand. Should he take a sip or not?"
"Aren't you going to drink it?"
"I'm not into caffeine." Heero muttered.
"Well, if you decide to change your mind. The drink is in front of you. Hey there's Tommy."
Heero turned so fast, he sure he almost got a whiplashed. Indeed that was Tommy walking through the door, carrying a sports bag. He immediately noticed Heero and walked toward him.
"Fancy meeting you here, Heero." Tommy whispered seductively.
"Oh, you two know each other already?"Jamie asked. "That saves me a lot of trouble of introduction."
"As a matter fact, I quite like to really get to know Heero, in and out." Tommy commented as he took a sip from Heero's drink as he sat down by him.
Heero snorted and ignored him.
"Don't you want to know me more?"
"No." Heero jerkily replied. Jamie left them to attend to some customers in the far corner and Heero felt vulnerable for some reason.
"We'll start over." Tommy said. "I am sorry for coming onto you to strong Heero. You're just to beautiful, I couldn't resist you."
Heero continued to ignore him.
"Listen, we can just go one date and I promise I won't do anything that you are too uncomfortable with. And if you don't like me the same way as I do you, we can just forget about the whole fiasco and get on with our lives."
Heero thought about it for a few moments, he was going to reply when the door opened and Trowa walked in with Duo and Quate. They looked surprised to see him here and more shock that he was with Tommy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~________________________________
Duo's violet eyes turned to a flashing purple, almost red. Before he jumped the jerk named Tommy, but Qautre held him back.
"Wait outside with Trowa." Quatre said.
"Like hell- Hey!" Duo said when Trowa dragged him out. "What do you think are doing."
"I am stopping you before you get in a fight Duo."
"Well warn me next time." Duo snapped and crossed his arms and leaned against the building.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~_________________________
Quatre came walking up to them, ignoring Tommy's sneer and came directly out with the qustion. "Heero can you come outside with us. I promise you that Duo won't be an idiot this time."
Heero narrowed his eyes at the mention of Duo. Quatre noticed this and cleared his throat.
"Well, after Heero is finish with my question." Tommy calmly said. Quatre didn't like it. "So is a yes or no."
"Heero don't do anything stupid!" Duo called, came striding in with a very ruffled Trowa at his heels.e
"You don't make my decisions for me." Heero snapped back. The crowd in the pub became silent at the sound of Duo's voice, causing everyone to blush.
"Let's take this outside." Quatre said.
"A wise decision." Tommy got up. "You coming."
The four of them followed him out onto the cobblestone street.
"Just what the hell are you trying to do?" Duo angrily said. Tommy smiled. He always loved Duo's little outburst.
"I don't need your protection…"Heero started, but stopped when both Duo and Tommy looked at him. Feeling flustered that he was the cause of the fight, Heero looked away.
"Why are you so interested all of a sudden?"Tommy grinned.
"None of your damn business."
"When it concerns Heero it is, and speaking of which" Tommy looked at him. "So is our date still on."
Heero had no idea what the hell was Tommy playing at. He never answered so why was the boy presuming.
"Heero is not going on a date with you, not if I can't help it." Duo said.
Tommy leaned back against the wall, unaffected. "He can make his own decisions and last I checked, you weren't his boyfriend."
Duo glared at Tommy and directed his gaze toward Heero, softening a bit. "I'm sorry I was jealous Heero. " Duo stepped closer so he could clearly see Heero's eyes. "So would you please do me a favor and not go out that jerk and be my boyfriend instead."
You could say that Heero was just plainly shocked. He never thought about going out with Tommy, and he certainly didn't think about going out with anyone else. He helplessly looked at Trowa, but his cousin was avoiding his eye contact, even Quatre looked shyly away with a blush forming on his cheeks.
"I….."Heero trailed off.

AN::::You will probably have to wait at least a day or two for the next chapter while I edit them. Tomorrow is monday and I have to go to school. Will Heero say yes or no. Personally I hope he says no...even though I'm the author. Hehe..
