"You do?  ….Wait, you do?"

Yay, my turn to confuse someone else instead of them confusing me! Woot! 10 points for Duo the Confuser!

I grinned at Heero.

"Yup, I sure do."

Heero shot me a look of confusion and suspicion mixed together.

"How?  Don't tell me you're a lesbian."

I giggled and shook my head.

"Not quite."

Blank stare from Heero.

"Care to explain."

I shook my head and bit his ear lightly.

"You have your secrets and I have mine." I whispered into his ear, making him shiver.

"Yes!  Control!  Ha!  Now who's the dominating one!  Hell yeah I do have control over this man!"

Just then the bell rang and our detention ended.  Perfect timing!

I got up from Heero's lap.

"See ya tomorrow babe!" I called out as I left the room.

Walking along, all proud of myself for showing show dominance in this fucked up relationship of mine, then I stop dead in my tracks.

"Shit.  Shit, shit, shit!!" I chanted in my head.

Sighing and giving into defeat I walked backwards to the door.

"Heero?" I called, popping my head in the door wearing a sheepish grin.

"Yes?" he answered, a smug look on his face.

He already knew.  Damn him and his all knowingness!!!!

"Can you give me a ride home?"

~*In the Car from Hell*~

"Now what was this secret you were keeping from me?" Heero's silky voice asked me, kissing my neck, damn this wasn't fair!  Felt nice, but still, not fair!!!

I shook my head, refusing to tell him.

"You tell me what's going on with you between Relena and you, then maybe I'll spill." I whispered, trying to not get horny, big success that was, and turning as red as a tomato.

He slipped his tongue in my mouth, and this time I knew it wasn't a reptile.

See, some how we'd made this very strange deal.

I tell him my secret and he'll take me home.  Since that's not really an option for me, I refuse.  So he says that's fine, I just have to get in the car and let him make out with me without protest and then he'll take me home.

So here we are, in the backseat, the windows are practically opaque with steam.  Heero has his hands half way up my shirt, his shirt is already gone and HE'S STILL TRYING TO GET IT OUT OF ME!!!

Nice way to keep the mood going huh?

I had my arms around his neck, enjoying my mouth being covered in someone else's spit, which actually isn't that bad, let me tell you, then someone gets the nerve to pound on the car window.

Heero moved down my neck to my collarbone, ignoring the knocking.

"Heero, someone's knocking at the window."

Heero gives a prehuman evolutionary grunt and continues molesting me.

I struggled underneath him.

"Heero, someone is knocking on the damn door.  AND GET YOUR HAND AWAY FROM THERE!" I screeched as his hand went to the wrong place and well…….there goes that cat, out of his bag.

 For a moment Heero stared at me, not moving or saying anything.

All I could do was look down in shame and feel my face get hotter, but not for a good reason this time.

Silently, my as of this moment ex, pulled his shirt back on and climbed to the front of the car to open the door.

I sat their quietly, my whole world falling down around my ears while I tried to catch that stupid, son of a bitch cat and stuff it back into its bag and staple it shut.

I hear someone fall over and some type of moan, and I'm suddenly drawn away from my figurative cat and looking into the front seat.

There it was.  Plain as day.  Relena had tackled Heero in the front seat and was all over him.  Was he resisting?  Hell no, he actually looked like he was enjoying this.  I felt my self go numb.  Relena looks at me while she's devouring Heero's tongue and smirks at me. 

I felt like crying, but something inside of me said that would only make the bitch happier of her victory.  I opened the back door, and walked away. 

I wasn't in my right mind I guess.  It's like my feet magically took over and started moving me around at will.  I was walking down Wilshire Court, close to my house, when I tripped and stumbled into the road.  Next comes the screeching of tires, the honking of a horn and suddenly there was no noise at all.  In fact, there was nothing, no pain, no light, just emptiness.  I didn't like it, not at all, I tried screaming, nothing came out, I tried moving, still nothing. Dammit where's the on switch on this body of mine!?

Suddenly, my scream broke out and my body bolted up right. Talk about delayed reactions.

~*Somewhere….a very clean somewhere*~

I was lying in a bed, the room was pure white, and I swear that color is out to get me.  Something in this very white and extremely, to the point of aggravatingly clean room was this constant beeping.  Oh look a heart monitor!!  Oh wait….that's not good.

Then it dawned on me that I was in the hospital, all the pieces fit perfectly, and I remembered what happened. 

On my right were tons of flowers from people at school, and at the back of the room, dead asleep on a chair was my mother.  To my left, the infernal beeping heart monitor that surpassed my alarm clock by a mile, but unfortunately a bit too big to hurl across the room.  I looked out the window of my room, it was dark out, night time.

"How long have I been out?" I wondered.

I hoped this wasn't like one of those freaky Twilight Zone episodes where a guy goes into a coma and wakes up like, a million years later.

My mother stirred in her oh so comfy hospital chair.

"Duo?" she mumbled through sleep-filled eyes.

"Mom?" I whispered.

Well that was a nice wake up call, next thing I know I'm having my guts hugged out and smothered with sloppy mom kisses, which are worse than a dogs.

"Duo!  Duo!  My baby!  Duo!" she sputters out between bear hugs and kisses.

"Mooooomm!" I whine, standard teenage procedure.

My mom gets one of those parental mood swings, and starts shaking me, standard parental procedure.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING WALKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD LIKE THAT!?"

Alright, up until this point, I was in a pretty good mood, minus the getting run over by a car part.

Immediately tears welled up in my eyes, but I fought them away.

"I'm sorry mom.  I-I wasn't paying attention.  My mind was elsewhere."

My mom stepped back and lifted my face to look at hers.

"What happened?" she asked quietly.

"He….he found out.  Heero did.  He, he found out my secret."

A hand slaps me across the face.

"HE WHAT?" she screams at me.

"It wasn't my fault, well it was, but….mom I don't think he'll tell anyone.  He's a good guy." I told her, trying to sound brave when I felt reduced to a pile of goo.

"Yeah, a good guy until they find out their girlfriend isn't a girl!" she hissed.

That shoved me over the edge, I was pissed.

"Well whose fault is that!?  My whole fucking 'secret' was your idea in the first place!" I yelled at her.

Now she gets pissed.

"My fault!?  My fault!?  Dammit Duo!  If you didn't like this then why didn't you just tell me?" my mom screams back.

I often what color the sky is in my mothers frickin' universe.

"I DID MOM!  YOU WERE JUST SO FUCKING OBSESSED WITH HAVING A DAUGHTER THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN CARE WHAT I WANTED!  I NEVER WANTED THIS!  I NEVER WANTED TO BE SOMETHING I WASN'T!!  ALL I WANTED WAS TO BE ME!  JUST ME!" I shouted at her so loud that my throat was burning when I was finished.

My mom stared at me in shock, realizing after sixteen years how selfish she had been.  Damn, that shut her up quick.

A long, slow silence proceeded the screaming, then my mother left the room, almost to tears.

Having nothing better to do, I looked over the mini garden that had accumulated in my room.

"Flowers from Quatre, flowers from Trowa, whoa that's weird.  Let's see, flowers from dad!?  Jesus, he must've thought I died then.  Flowers from Hilde, flowers from Tiffany, flowers form Heero, flowers from Lee Ann.  WAIT!  HOLD UP!  Flowers from Heero!?"

My eyes back tracked and there they were.  A big bunch of red and white roses.  There was a card too.

I opened the envelope and unfolded the note:

Dear Duo,

            Dear God!  If I'd known that it would hurt that much.  I mean you cared about me?  I'm sorry……she just…I didn't mean it!  Really, I……

            Look, I've been coming to the hospital everyday, so I'll see you when you wake up.  We need to talk.

                                                                            -Heero

"He's as good in writing as he is in speaking." I told myself, and couldn't help but smile.

I put the note on my bedside table.

"Ahem."

I looked to my door.

"Heero?"

TBC…

~*Author's Notes:*~

And the torture continues! Hehe, sorry, had to insert another cliff hanger.  And Duo will be fine!  I couldn't kill him if I wanted to, I swear he's immortal!!

*Duo grins*
