Title: Past Meets Present

Summery: When they were little, Heero and Duo made a promise: To meet each other in high school. But what happens when they meet again but they hate each other? 1x2, 3x4, maybe 5x ? Yaoi.

Warning: Yaoi. Don't like don't read

Speaking "Dun Dun Dun"

Thinking 'Ding Ding Ding'

"Hey"

I roll out from under the car I was checking out, wiping away a smear of grease that's managed to get on my face before looking at the owner of the voice and smiling.

"Hey Heero!"

"I see you're busy. Take it you like it here then?" Heero asks, walking around the garage.

"Oh yeah, it's great! The guys are all cool and really laid back. It's got a cool cosy sort of vibe to this place, if you get what I mean." I wipe my hands on a cloth after washing them, and then turn to face Heero.

"Where are the rest?"

"Oh, they've already left; I just stayed behind a bit to finish up. You got any plans or you wanna chill out with me?" I wriggle my way out of the blue overcoat, placing it in my locker.

"Yeah sure, I was thinking we could go down to the pier, wade around in the sea or something." Heero suggests, looking at me, a slight smile on his face.

"Yeah sure, lets go!" I sling an arm around him as we walk to the pier, what with it only being a ten minute walk from where I work.

It's been a few months since Heero first moved here, and we've all made fast friends with him, me and him especially are really close.

I only ever remember being this close to one other person…my childhood best friend. I remember me and him would do everything together, it was like we were meant to be.

But then I remember one of the saddest days of my life, when he had to leave.

We were just children, around 6 and 7, when he had to leave. I was so heart broken after he left; after all, he was the first person who wanted to be my friend.

"Hello! Earth to Duo, anyone at home?"

I snap out of my thoughts when I see Heero waving his hand in front of my face and smile at him sheepishly.

"Sorry about that! Got stuck in a few memories." I explain.

Heero looks ahead, with a slightly pensive look on his face before turning to me and smiling slightly.

"As long as you're with me now."

"You betcha!" I punch his arm lightly, and push him in the direction of the fish 'n' chips place. "Which is why I should go find us somewhere to sit and you should buy the food!" I grin at him as he arches an eyebrow at me.

"You do realize that what you just said didn't make sense at all?"

"Oh yeah, totally!" I yell over my shoulder, already walking off, hearing a muttered "Just so you know…"

I find a place near the sea and sit down, chucking a few pebbles in the sea.

I especially like this pier cause it's a pebble beach, and they're so many different types of stones lying about.

I remember when I was little I used to collect all the interesting stones and then show them to my best friend, both of us trying to see who had a better collection.

I smile at the memory, sighing slightly as I remember the 'good old days' when I was a kid, being able to mess around. Not that I don't mess around now, according to the guys and probably everyone at school…

"Hey" Heero sits down next to me, holding out a bag of chips, him having bought a cone of chips with a coke.

"Hey, where's my drink?" I cry out indignantly.

"We can share, I only have two hands Duo, its good to keep that in mind, wouldn't you say so?"

"Yeah yeah, very funny Mr Sarcastic" I mutter darkly, shooting Heero a glare. Heero knows by now that I'm only joking so he doesn't take any notice of me.

"What were you thinking about?"

"Oh, nothing in particular." I say, munching on my chips.

"It has to be something important; you had a pretty serious look on your face." Heero says, looking at me intently.

"Its just…" I give in, pausing to eat in order to explain to Heero. "When I was a little kid I had this really cool friend, we were best friends actually. We used to do practically everything together; you might say we were inseparable. But then he had to leave, his parents were leaving the country and he had to go. I was so sad. I remember staying in my room for a week, refusing to come out." I smile at that memory, remembering the tantrums I had.

"But then after I hurt myself and I forget him, the blow to my head having made me block out some of my memories. I just wish that I could remember his name at the very least. I would be so happy if I could see him again."

I turn to look at Heero, seeing that same pensive look on his face as before.

"Something the matter?" I ask, picking up a few more pebbles.

"It's funny" Heero begins slowly, his voice completely serious. I turn to look at him, giving him my full attention as he carries on talking.

"I had a close friend as well. I can't remember much about him either, I don't know what happened, I think I suppressed my memories or something after moving countries. We were inseparable too, I remember I was slightly older then him so I used to protect him when the other kids bullied him. I remember he had the cutest eyes, I loved his eyes most of all. Maybe it's cause it's the only thing I can remember about him. His eyes, there were violet, actually they were the same shade of violet as your…"

Heero stops speaking as he stares at me, the full impact of what he's just said hitting me then. I drop my can, eyes wide.

Violet eyes…my best friend used to say that he liked my eyes most of all…

Could it be? Could Heero be my long-lost best friend? Everything we both said, it fitted, just like a puzzle.

It is him! I jump up and hug him tight, tears of happiness coming into my eyes as he slowly wraps his arms around me.

We stay like that for a few moments, then slowly we pull apart, Heero still slightly dazed.

"I can't believe it…after all these years, we've finally met…" I say, a smile as bright as the sun on my face.

"I know… who would have thought? Maybe that's why we got on so well from the start" Heero murmured.

"Isn't it great though? Think of everything that we can still do! Hey, remember that time when we put sand in Mr. Barns' coffee?"

"Yeah, and then remember how he actually drank it and then ran out of the classroom trying to spit out all the sand?" Heero finished off, his eyes sparkling.

"We can create all that mischief again!"

"Yeah…" Heero looks towards the sea, a far-away expression on his face.

"What are you thinking about?" I whisper, nudging closer to him.

"Its incredible how we've met again. But I can't help but think that this is more then a coincidence, that we were meant to see each other, don't you think?"

"Well, whatever it is that's brought us back together, I'm glad it has. And this time around nothing can tear us apart." I promise, looking in Heero's eyes.

Heero turns to look at me, a smile on his face. "Pinky promise?" He asks, his smile turning mischievous, holding out his pinky finger.

I smile at him, a laugh bubbling to the surface.

"Yeah, pinky promise." I link his pinky in mine, remembering how we did this many years ago when he left.

I'm gonna make sure that this promise is kept, for me, and for Heero.

Um, in my summery I've said that Heero and Duo were going to hate each other, but I've changed my mind and so they won't actually hate each other…Sorry! There's not much more to write for this fic, so it's better off just having a nice ending. Sorry to disappoint! If I have, that is…

Many thanks for reviewing this fic, it means a lot to me that you enjoy reading this!
