I would like to thank all of my reviewers. You guys are great. And now on with the show….

I swore creatively as I heard Treize and Zechs laugh all the way down the hallway. My blood was boiling. I hadn't been this mad since Billy had stolen my teddy during my orphanage years.

"Duo, pull yourself together. Those two are trying to get you to fight back. They want to see you care of yourself." Mueller pointed out. Great, Mr. Psychologist is at it again.

"I know Mueller, but I took a vow remember? Anyways let's get back to work." I dreaded to go back to work, but I needed a way to keep my mind occupied. I mean I didn't really want to remember what had happened last night. It was a blur but still, it could come back in the form of a nightmare and I didn't need anymore nightmares.

"So, are you psyched about getting off campus this weekend?" Mueller asked with faked interest.

"No. I have to spend it with asshole remember? Not to mention my backstabbing friends who seem to think this is o so funny." I rolled my eyes as I placed my hunk of clay into the machine.

"I think you'll get used to it. I mean really Duo, Heero could be good for you." Of course Mueller would have to be an optimist. Woe is me.

"I don't think that I will. The machine is full, add the drying ingredients." During this session of work, Mueller and I could sit and talk as we watched the clay mix. This was when he had our heart to hearts.

Mueller added the ingredients to the wet clay and started the machine. I pulled up two stools near the machine. And we sat down.

"So you honestly think that Heero can't be good for you?" Mueller asked with an amused tone.

"Yea I know he isn't. Trowa is good for Quat. Treize is good for Zechs. But there is no one good for me. As I said earlier, I would drive him away with my paranoia."

"Duo you just have to give him a chance. I mean it's not going to kill you or anything." Mueller said. God, he should be a talk show host or work for a suicide help line. I mean honestly the guy is good for pep talks.

"Duo! There you are! I've been all over campus for you!" I heard Quatre yell behind me. I glanced at my watch and noticed that it was 2:30. Great, another thirty minutes and Mr. Personality will be here to pick me up.

"Hey Q-bean what's up?" I asked with a wide smile.

"I just heard the wonderful news from Heero." Quatre said with a spark in his eyes. O shit, if Quatre knew already, then the whole campus would know.

"O yea, Q-man it's really wonderful let me tell you, not!" Ok I was being mean to the guy, sue me.

"Well, I think that's it wonderful that you are letting someone in Duo. Wufei was definitely not the one for you." I heard a hint of malice at the word Wufei. What the hell had happened between the two last night?

"Did you ask him how we got together?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, he said you would explain it better than he ever could." O great…this outta be fun.

I explained everything to him that had occurred that afternoon. By the time I was done with my tale…Quat didn't seem to mad. I was sure that this would enrage the blond. Is there no justice in this world?

"Well it certainly is a creative way, I must say." Quatre looked thoughtful. What the hell, was someone pulling something over my head and I didn't notice it? Was I left out of some sort of circle? I was going to get to the bottom of this, even if it killed me, which I doubt that it would come to that.

"Anyway, I am pissed about it. Quat, I am not some toy to be thrown around just to keep some girl off of Yuy's back. I am a person y'know." I was venting and I knew it.

"Well, just give him a chance please? He is a nice guy once you get to know him." Great, Quat knew him too. How many of my friends knew Heero Yuy? Damn, this must be a small a small world after all. I closed my eyes.

"Fine Quat, I'll give Heero a chance. But I'm not making any promises that I will actually fall for this guy. I will go to the cabin this weekend. Are you satisfied with that?" I opened my eyes to see a grinning Quatre. I could tell he was happy with my decision. I turned my attention to the doorway where Heero was standing. I glanced at my watch, it was 3/

"Hey Mueller, I'm out for today. I'll catch ya later at the dorm, ok?" I looked over at Mueller. He gave me a nod and I was off. Heero took my hand in his as I passed by him. I blushed at the simple act.

I looked into his eyes and found sincerity there. Fine, I admit it, I'm smitten. There happy? I was pretty much taken by this guy, but my pride wouldn't allow me to admit it to anyone else except for…I turned to Mueller and there was this 'I told you so' look on his face. Damn him to hell. He knew that I was smitten.

We made our way out of the building without any hazards. I saw that Trowa was waiting for Quatre. When Quatre finally reached him, Trowa gave him a soft kiss on the lips. Those two were too cute for their own good.

"They're a good couple, ne?" Heero asked me in a soft tenor.

I blinked a few times and answered. "Yea. Tro will go to any length to protect Quat." I looked at the couple wistfully. I was hoping to find a love like theirs. I knew that the two would last until they grew old. It was a given.

"Don't think such sad thoughts koi." Heero's voice broke through my thoughts.

"How do you know what I was thinking?" I asked defensively.

Heero chuckled. God, I loved that sound. "Because, baka, you had this yearning look on your face. I can be what Trowa is to Quatre to you, if you would just let me in." Heero said with seriousness in his voice. I looked in those Prussian blue eyes of his. God, Poison Girl popped back into my head again. I was so lost in his eyes that I barely felt myself pull forward and meet his lips in a soft gentle kiss. I closed my eyes and savored the moment.

He deepened the kiss and soon his tongue was caressing my mouth. He tasted of wine and white chocolate. I was lost in so many emotions. One side of my brain told me that this felt right and the other side told me that he was just using. But as usual the romantic side won out. I felt safe as Heero's arms engulfed me and I had to break to the kiss.

I was gasping for air as I laid my head on his shoulder. My head fit just right into the juncture of his shoulder and neck. It was as if we were made for each other. No, I couldn't afford to think this. I've only been dating him for a few hours and he's broke through every barrier I had. No one had accomplished this before, no one.

Heero held me as we stood there, both dazed at the kiss. I had to admit that there was something there. I felt so safe in his arms. I felt as if no one could harm me and that Heero could take all the hurt away. I snuggled closer to his warmth. In my rush to get to work on time I had forgotten my coat. I was shivering from the cold and that soul searing kiss.

"Baka, you forgot your coat." Heero murmured affectionately.

"I was in a rush to get to work, so I forgot my coat." I pulled back and smiled sheepishly at Heero. Damn, I've known for a very short time and he already has the keys to my heart and by the looks of it, I have his too.

"Well, let's go get it, you'll need it for where we are going." He said.

I blinked a few times. "We're going on a date?"

Heero laughed. "Yes, of course we are baka. I want to know more about you."

"Fine, but I want to hear everything about you." I said grinning. O the questions I had in store for him.

Poison Girl is a song by HIM. A band I highly recommend.
