Heero came and sat next to me and took a hold of my hand.
Awww! How romantic!
"Duo…I'm so sorry."
I squeezed his hand.
"You should be……but I'll forgive you."
The look on his face told me there was more that he wanted to say.
"Is there something else?"
He nodded slowly.
"Well, what is it? Tell me?"
"And it better be something sweet and sappy or else."
"Close your eyes." He ordered.
I 'glared' and cleared my throat.
He glared back, but I stood my ground. I'm not a total wimp!
"Please?" Heero muttered darkly.
I grinned and shut my eyes.
"Maxwell 1, Yuy…oh shut up! This is supposed to be a confident remark!"
Something cool wrapped around my neck and I gave a small yelp.
I heard Heero give a small laugh.
"Okay, you can look now."
I opened my eyes and looked down.
"Holy-…Heero!"
I swear, if I hadn't had Heero's mouth pressed to mine only seconds later, I would've cried.
He had given me a beautiful silver and diamond cross necklace. I mean, damn! The boy's got taste!
The kiss broke and now I cried.
Heero pressed his forehead to mine.
"Do you like it?"
"Holy shit! Heero, I love it!"
He kissed me again.
My this is turning out to be a good day, minus the getting hit by a car part.
"Hey Heero?"
"Yeah?"
"How long have I been out?"
"Fifteen years."
……
"I'm sorry I just hallucinated. Say that again."
Heero laughs at me.
It's the morphine! Not me!
"I said it's been eight days. You've been here for eight days."
I blinked.
"Damn, I got hit that bad?"
Heero nods sadly.
I noticed we hadn't talked about certain events that lead up to me getting hit by the car.
"So…when are we gonna talk about what happened?" I asked, trying my hardest to look him in the eye.
Heero's eyes immediately looked downward.
"Heero…"
"I'm sorry."
"I know you're sorry, but we need to talk about what happened, what you…discovered."
I started fumbling with my necklace.
Why won't he talk about this? He said he was sorry…
"Why didn't you tell me that you were a-a…" he trailed off.
"A guy?"
"Come on, it's not that hard to say."
Another nod. Jesus, maybe I should only ask yes or no questions from now on.
"Well…getting the living crap beat out of me wasn't very high on my 'to-do-list'. That and my mother wouldn't let me. This is all her idea. Believe me Heero; I would've been much happier dating you as I am, then as a fake."
Stare…
"Your mother's idea? What the Hell? Why?"
I sighed.
"Might as well get this over with. Cue the sad music and let's start the flashback."
*Imaginary Quatre picks up his imaginary violin and plays a sad tune.*
"My mother has always wanted a daughter. And for a while she had one. I had an older sister, Belle, who was two years older. But, when she was born, the doctors diagnosed her with some fatal disease and she died a little before her third birthday. I guess the loss was a bit much on my mother and since I was still really young, she raised me as a girl."
*Quatre is yanked off stage and flashback ends*
"Weird…"Heero murmurs.
I nod.
"My family has a history of insanity. My great Uncle Louie tried to overthrow the government by flooding all the toilets in the F.B.I." I stated calmly.
Stare take two!
"Duo…no more sharing you family history."
I smile.
"Alright."
We chatted for hours; Heero told me what I had missed around school. Apparently Quatre and Trowa got caught getting it on in the janitor's closet and the principal had to order an entire new shipment of cleaning supplies in since all the old ones were now unholy, I mean, unsanitary. But, Heero didn't mention anything of Relena, the one subject I really wanted to hear.
"Well, I guess it's up to me…"
"Hee-chan…"
*Glare*
"Yes Duo?"
"What about you and er…..Relena? Are…are you two um…together again or was it a one time thing?" I muttered quietly.
There wasn't an answer.
I looked up to meet Heero's eyes but he had turned to view my flowers.
"Heero, this is really important to me."
Heero sighed.
"Duo…I'd kill to be with you. But…remember how I told you I used, I mean I do, like guys, and then Relena and my family found out and got pissed?"
"I remember some of those key words being thrown together in some very strange, incomprehensible sentence."
"Yeah, well…I have to go out with Relena again, she's blackmailing me. If I don't she'll tell the whole school…"
"Oh…I get it…"I said quietly.
Heero spun around with amazing speed.
"Duo…I would if I could but…."
"But your reputation is more valuable. Yeah, yeah, I get it." I snapped.
"Duo…" he pleaded softly.
Suddenly an idea came to me. Hey, hey! There's a first time for everything, stop laughing at me already!
"Heero, what if…"
"What if what?"
Stop laughing!!!
"What if you still went out with me, I mean, everyone but you still thinks I'm a girl, and so does Relena. So, she couldn't blackmail you because your dating me and I'm a girl…in their eyes at least."
Heero grinned.
"That might just work…."
WILL YOU STOP THAT DAMN LAUGHING!! IT'S A GOOD IDEA DAMMIT!!
"Really? You think so?" I said, happy my intelligence was finally shining through.
*Chipmonk glare*
Do you really find this that amusing? Is it so hard to believe I actually have a brain?
……..
THAT WAS A RHETORICAL QUESTION!
"Yeah, with a some more planning, it could defiantly work."
He kissed my forehead again.
"Ahem…"
"Shit…we've been picked up on parental radar…"
"Erm….hi mother…" I said meekly.

~*Author's Notes:*~
Yeah yeah, another cliff hanger, so shoot me. No not really!! *ducks* Well anyways, the moral of the chapter is…'Even psychotic mothers have their reasons'.
*sound of crickets chirping*
Hey! That's good quality humor right there! Bah…everyone's a critic. Anywho…time for a shamless plug! If you look under my bio, there's a story under there called 'Only Dreamers Have Wings'. It's not like my other stuff, and it's not an AU, yes I know I made up a few characters and put them in there, but I swear the story is about the G-boys not them, it's just told from another light. Please read it and give it a chance! *begs* I'm really proud of this story and I'm afraid the summary my send the wrong idea…
Well there's my low moment in life, but I really do mean it.
