Heero looked back and forth between Duo and Tommy. Apparently Quatre and Trowa took off to god knows where or they went into the little pub, where Heero wished he was at the moment.
He stuffed the oncoming blush and tried to glare, but that failed when he caught Duo' eyes. He stumbled backwards into the brick wall.
"I …" He trailed off again, as he tried to form the appropriate words. He had never lost his voice until now.
"No." Heero finally muttered.
"No to what? Me or him?" Tommy pointed at himself then Duo.
Heero finally managed to take control of his pudding mind and formed his words in his head.
"No to both. I don't want to date either of you." Heero's throat felt dry.
"Any particular reason?" Duo crossed his arms and coldly glared at both Tommy and Heero. Heero gulped and started to squirm under Duo's intense stare. He can at least shut off the damn laser beam in his eyes.
"I'm too young." Heero managed to say. It was a lame excuse, even to his ears. And by the looks of it neither of them accepted it. "What do you want from me Duo!" Heero finally shouted, clearly frustrated by the intensity in Duo's violet eyes. "I know what to expect from Tommy, but not you and I don't want to know you at all. I thought I made that clear when we first met."
"You can not tell a lot about a person on first impressions alone Heero." Duo replied. "And I'd rather die a thousand deaths than see you in the hands of the enemy." Duo said.
"I may not be your best friend Duo. I never got to know you during that whole week and if I had another chance, my tormented angel," Tommy began in a sad voice, "I would go back in time and change everything back. Look, I'm sorry. That's all. And if I can't get another chance from you, I'll get it from someone else."
"And what the hell do you mean by that?"
Tommy chuckled. "Well, obviously I want Heero now."
"Fat chance, Tommy."
"Give me another chance, so we could get to know each other more." Duo pleaded to Heero and Tommy snorted, Duo glared at him.
"Don't bother listening to him Heero," Tommy said. "He used the same tone and pout with me after his fling with Relena."
"Go fuck off Tommy!" Duo snarled. "That's a damn lie and you know it."
Heero slowly inched closer to the door, as the two older teens started to get more into their heated argument, hopefully they wouldn't see him leave.
"You calling me a liar?" Tommy snapped, again. "I may have been a bastard, but I do not lie."
"That's my line - where the hell is Heero?" Duo stopped in mid rant when he noticed that Heero was missing.
"You drove him away." Tommy simply said and walked into the pub, Duo following. Heero was sitting by Trowa, sipping what appeared to be water. Tommy sat right next to him, much to Duo's dismay. Duo had no choice but to sit by Quatre, and Heero's friend walked up to him with a coke.
"So you cooled down?" The kid asked and Duo glared at him. "Guess not." He went to the other end of the counter.
"Well this was obviously a waste of time." Trowa muttered. "I guess it's time to go back anyway."
"Yeah I'll drop you guys off." Quatre replied and threw a glare at Duo.
"See ya' around Heero." Tommy winked and Heero felt himself blushing and Duo was even more furious. He was the only one who could make Heero do that, no one else!

"Thanks for doing this Treize," Dekim said, outside the courtroom. They were in a vacant lounge area to get away from the press that had been hounding them all day.
"No problem." Treize sat down after he poured himself some coffee. "I still wasn't able to catch your nephew before I left."
"We can still win without his input." Dekim smiled and Treize relaxed a bit. Winning was one thing, but winning against Dr. Martin Jay was another matter. The Professor had a law degree and a long history of winning his battles, whether it was in the courtroom or science. "It looks like it's time."
Dekim nodded and followed Treize out the door, only to run into the devil himself.
"Fancy meeting you here, Dekim." Dr. J said. Dekim acknowledged him by tipping his head.
"Yes." Dekim glared at him. "You won't win."
"Ah." Dr. J smirked. "That's where you're wrong."
"And how am I wrong?"
"What makes you think that I would lose and Heero wants to leave?" J smirked. Dekim did not like it at all.
"The evidence all adds up to abuse Doctor," Dekim said coldly. "Besides if neglect doesn't get you jailed, then I'm sure you are aware that laundering money is a crime."
"What? I never!" J sputtered. "Where did you hear that nonsense?"
"I'm a business man, and I keep track of all transactions that go on in Heero's company. Yes, his company. He is, after all, Odin's son and heir. You are just running it into the ground for your stupid research."
J snorted. "I have done no such thing. I have taken great care of Heero, like any normal father."
"Oh really. Then do explain why he is so hard to talk to? Why he shies away from affection? And why he has nightmares?" Dekim backed the doctor into the wall and Treize pulled him back before he could tear the other man to pieces.
"Leave the battle in the courtroom and war after the outcome." Dekim nodded and left with one glare at the old man.
"Even if I lose the case Dekim, Heero can't survive without me." Dr. J started to chuckle on his way to the courtroom.

"What did I do wrong?" Duo asked for the thousandth time at dinner. Mr. Winner only chuckled.
"Seems to me you're having trouble at love."
"What do you know? You're an old man." Duo huffed as he stuffed a potato in his mouth.
"Old, but wise. I was young once Duo, and also in love." The older man gave a heartily laugh at Duo's pouting face. "What exactly did he say when he turned you down?"
"He just said no, and ranted for a few seconds about not liking me." Duo exasperatedly waved his hand around "You know, the usual." He sarcastically added.
"Well, it seems like the feeling of love is one sided."
Duo snorted. "Who said anything about love, I just want to … get him out of my system." Duo quickly said. He had no intention of telling the older or younger Winner that he wanted to do more than get Heero out of his system, of course they didn't need to know that.
"It's really simple father." Quatre said for the first time at dinner. "Duo likes Heero, and I think the feeling is mutual. However, Duo is being the prick that he usually is and thinks that he can get anything he wants. Apparently Heero did not like Duo's personality at all, so he said no. Also, I'm not sure if Heero is exactly gay. From what Trowa told me, this is the first time he's ever had human contact, besides the business meetings that he attends with his uncle."
"So, Mr. Psychiatrist, what makes you so correct about this assumption?" Duo asked. "He hates me. End of story."
"You assume too much Duo. Weren't you listening to a word I said?"
"I don't know. It might've went out the other ear." Duo grinned at Quatre's angry face.
"Fine, I'll make it easy. He does not respond well to love. No Duo, quit squirming. He was raised in a protective environment. He had no friends, other than Trowa. The only family that he knows is his guardian, Trowa, and his uncle. All Heero needs is a gentle touch, a helping hand. Trowa won't be there for him forever you know. And what I mean by love is a mother's love or a father's or a friend's. You don't have to make him love you Duo. He just needs to trust you."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"Try being his friend first, before you try to jump him. How do you think it was easy for Jamie to win Heero's trust? He was nice and honest with him. Besides he was also very open, something you should try to do. And I think Tommy picked up on what I observed as well."
"Whose side are you on?" Duo looked at him strangely.
"At the moment, Heero's."
"Well, this certainly was a nice dinner." Mr. Winner said and stepped lightly from the table. A soldier knows when to retreat from the battlefield.
"If you can't be honest with Heero, then give him up Duo. He does not need to be hurt all over again." Quatre said.
"How do you know so damn much about him?"
"A little coaxing from Trowa. Besides, there are things called the internet and spies."
"I don't know exactly what you're saying, but it sounds like you think I'm madly in love with the brat." Duo crossed his arms and leaned back in the chair.
"Are you?"
"What - no. No way in hell." Duo stammered.
"I never brought that subject up. I'm just saying be his friend, or else Tommy will win." Quatre sighed before he followed his father out of the dining room, leaving Duo with a lot to think about.
