When Nothing Goes Right
Vastulja Sata Menton
Chapter Five: And the World Shatters
I ended up following my lover to the library, on the other side of the mansion in perspective to the parlor. I knew that Wufei wanted to talk to me, but I wasn't sure what it was about. He sat down on one of the couches and I followed suit. My eyes stayed down because it was the safest thing for me to do. He sighed, and I waited for him to speak.
"Duo."
"Yes."
"I don't' want you talking to him. If he goes into a room you're in and I'm not there, you leave. He asks you a question, you leave. You got it?" He made his point clear by the harsh tone of his voice. My eyes stayed down but I still replied.
"Yes, Wufei." He nodded in acknowledgement before standing and leaving. I sighed. It was just like it had been with Hilde. First step was the ban of contact and speech. If Heero refused to deal with my actions, only then would Wufei confront him about it. Heero was just as stubborn as my lover, and I had a feeling that he would not accept the actions that Wufei had set down for me. I wasn't sure what to do, and I had no one that I could go to. No, not even Quatre. That would risk too many things.
I sat there staring out the window and was only distracted when I heard the faint click of the doors to the library being closed. I didn't have to look to know that it was Heero. Persistent bastard. He just refused to give up. I didn't move though, even when he sat down beside me. There was a moment of silence and I waited for him to speak.
"Duo…" I stood then, because that was my cue to leave. Not without a final world of course.
"I'm sorry, Heero. But we can't talk." I would have left then, if he hadn't stood and grabbed me by the wrist. I turned to him, and looked at him with questioning in my eyes. "Heero. Please let go of me."
"No. We need to talk, and you aren't going to get out of it this time." There was pure determination in his voice, eyes, and soul. Our eyes met, and I was mesmerized. Those deep pools of cobalt blue pulled me in, and I couldn't help but take a step forward. He placed a hand on my shoulder, and heat flashed through me. An emotion swelled in me, but I couldn't identify what it was. That ouch pulled me in further, and a step closer. He licked his lips, and I watched that seductive tongue run along those soft lips. He closed the space between us, and his lips were on mine. The world came crashing down on me then, and I fell into his arms. He was just as good a kisser as Wufei.
SCREECHING HAULT!
I was kissing Heero. No, he was kissing me and I was letting. And Wufei was going to kill me. I pushed away from him, and looked at him with confused eyes. "Heero?" He looked at me and realized what he had just done.
"Duo, please let me talk to you. Please!" There was desperation in his voice.
I backed away from him, but didn't get very far for he was still holding onto my wrist. I tried to pull out of his grip, but he would not give. Persistent, I tell you. "Heero, let go." I had to do something' I couldn't just stand there and let him take control of me. I pulled harder, but his grip tightened.
"Please, Duo. Just hear me out."
"Let go of me now, Yuy!" My voice rose, for more than one reason. One, I was pissed off. And two, I was subconsciously trying to get one of the other guys' attention. It worked, oh yes it did. But I hadn't anticipated the fact that Heero had locked the doors. There were shouts from the other side of the library doors and I knew that all three were there.
"Duo, just talk to me. Tell me what the hell is going on here!" His grip tightened on my wrist painfully. Oh hell no! Anger welled up and came out all at once in the form of me screaming.
"I don't have to tell you a damn thing, Yuy!" I had no control over my words, so what came out next shocked and horrified me. "So what if Wufei hits me! It's none of your God damned business!" I knew that I had yelled loud enough for the others to hear because there was a stunned silence all around. Oh shit. I'm dead. Someone's dead. Kill me now Shinigami. His eyes widened in shock as did mine, and there was cobalt blue mocking me. I had just let out the most forbidden of all things, and he knew that I was speaking the truth. I fell to my knees, and he let go of my wrist. "Oh, God. What have I done?" I whispered, staring at my hands. Just then, the doors of the library burst open and three people that I thought I knew came rushing in. But, no. I didn't really know them, because I didn't even know myself. How had I let this all happen? I looked up and met Wufei's eyes. I sweared to god that the black was now a scorching red of anger. I felt a pain then, but a different pain. The torture of knowing that I had let all of this happen, and I had betrayed a part of myself in so many ways. I wanted to let the tears that burned at the back of my eyes fall, but I refused to show weakness. What came next happened kind of in a blur.
Wufei was by my side, pulling me up to my feet even as my legs protested. Everyone else was too shocked to do anything. Even as he dragged, yes – dragged, me out of the library they stood there. I myself was so stunned by what I had done that it was all that I could do to stay on my feet as he pulled me to our room. Once there, he threw (and no, not exaggerating here. He threw me) down before locking the door behind us. Moments later, there were heavy footsteps following our path. He looked at me and the fires of hell flashed angrily at me. Oh shit. I'm in for it now. He stalked towards me, grabbed me by the arm and forced me to stand. I was scared, even as the others pounded on the door. A hand rose and he slapped me hard across the face.
"You dirtywhore! You bitch!How dare you!" He hissed before hitting me again. He threw me down, hitting and kicking me. It hurt, causing me to curl up into a tiny ball. Not even as the door was broken open did he stop yelling or hitting. Only when Trowa and Quatre pulled him off of me did the painful hitting end. On instinct, I curled up more, closer to myself. A hand touched my shoulder and I whimpered. No more. No more pain.
"Shhh. It's okay Duo." Heero's voice came to me as he knelt down and pulled me into his arms. Wufei was struggling against the two other ex-pilots to get at me. I shuddered at the thought of him hitting me like that again. Heero rocked me, cooing into my ear and trying to calm me down. I clutched his shirt and buried my face into his black cotton shirt. Please, don't let him do that again. Please. Silence filled the room, the only sound being the heavy breathing of Wufei as Quatre called him. It was not the end though. Oh no, it was far from the end.
End Chapter FiveAN: This is a very important Authors Note. I am going to address a review that I received.
The story isn't finished, and I can develop it any way that I want. The way that I choose to develop this story is not 'up front beginning chapter explanation' (as I like to call it). A lot of thought is put into it…so to make you think and see how it all happened that way.
That's all I'm going to address. And to say that the characters stray too far from the series without character development is not necessary. It's pretty obvious it's OOC. I'm sorry that you don't like it Davross, but many others do like it.
Next chapter already written. Will be up soon (if my family will stop getting angry about how fast I type…like I can help that…)
