Chapter 4
The music building was unnaturally silent, the hallways oozed nothing, and a pin drop would have the same effect as a car crash. The time was 12:00 pm on the dot and all the singers were getting antsy for lunch, especially Duo.
"Okay class, it's about time for lunch so I'll let you go and see you back here in an hour and a half," Dr. Jeffries dismissed his bass 1 students.
'Thank the Lord; I don't think I could have sat next to Heero for one more minute. He may have a sexy voice, but he can be such a jerk!" Duo thought to himself.
"Duo! Hey, Duo! Over here!"
"Hey Quatre, man am I starved, I can't wait to get something to eat!" Duo complained.
"Don't worry Duo we'll leave now, oh and if you don't mind, I invited a friend along with us. He and his other friend need a ride to lunch." Quatre looked sheepish as he asked his friend if a stranger could join them for lunch.
"Oh sure, the more the merrier, who though?" Duo was looking around behind Quatre for the people he was giving a ride to.
"Oh you know him, we saw him this morning, but I don't know who his friend is, his name is..." Quatre was cut off by as a person came up beside him and stuck his hand out in introduction.
"The name's Trowa Barton, and it's nice to meet you, Duo is it?" The new guy, Trowa, greeted.
"Where is your other friend?" Quatre questioned.
"He's right behind me," Trowa moved out of the way so Duo and Quatre could get a good look at him, and it was none other than Mr. Jerk, Heero Yuy himself, "Quatre, Duo, this is Heero Yuy. Although I think Heero and Duo already seem to know each other." Trowa commented as he saw the clash of glares going on between Duo and Heero.
'I can't believe Quatre got me into this mess; now I have to spend my only time away from Mr. Hot sexy asshole with him always, lord what luck I have.' Duo groaned in his mind.
Heero broke of his Death Glareïƒ with Duo and stuck out his hand to greet Quatre. Heero thought about not shaking hands with Duo but he thought it would be a little too rude so he stuck his hand out to shake the hands with the boy he thought was 'the most beautiful, yet slow creature on the campus.'
As Duo and Heero's hands touched and shook, they both felt a sense of feeling a little too warm and both their pants got just a little more snug.
The held hands slightly longer than seemed normal, but not so much as to alarm Quatre and Trowa.
Duo let his hand fall to his side and stood staring into the cobalt blue eyes in front of him. 'His eyes are so beautiful, and his lips are so full. I could fall into those eyes all day long, not to mention something else I could do all day long with him.'
"Duo, earth to Duo, wake up! We all want to eat some time this year." Quatre was yelling at him and finally snapped his fingers about and inch away from the tip of Duo's nose.
Duo jumped out of his reverie of himself and a naked Heero. 'Damn Q, did you have to wake me up so soon, I was just getting to the good part.' "Oh sorry Q-man, I was a a little distracted, okay guys, lets go get something to eat." Duo started to walk out to his car with his friend and acquaintances following right behind.
"That clinician we had was wonderful, I'm so happy Mr. Martin is teaching our class." Quatre gushed.
"He does seem to know what he's doing, and I've gotten a couple of really good pointers from him so far." Trowa tried to add to the conversation a little, his speaking voice lower than the part he sings.
Duo and Heero walked next to each other in front of the others, not saying a word.
"So Trowa, where do you go to school?" Quatre was getting into the more personal questions.
'Wow, Kat is really into this guy. He doesn't seem too bad, not like his friend. I he and Kat hit it off. Seems that's how it's going so far.' Duo noticed.
"Heero and I both go to Cedar Mills high school." Trowa answered.
"Really! That's wonderful, Duo and I go to Green Hills high school, and our schools are only about ten miles away." Quatre was really excited; he wanted to stay friends with Trowa, 'And who knows,' he thought, 'maybe more.'
Finally the guys all got to the vehicle, which was Duo's pride and joy.
"You have a nice car Duo, don't you think so Heero?" Trowa commented.
"Hn, it's not bad"
"Thanks I try to take very good care of her" Duo gloated.
The guys all got into Duo's black Hyundai Santa Fe, but Duo noticed that Quatre didn't sit in the front with him but in the back with Trowa to continue their small talk.
'Thanks Q, leave me out to dry why don't you!' Duo noted in the back of his mind that he needed to get Quatre back for that one.
"Okay, so where does everyone want to eat, we only have about an hour and twenty minutes." Quatre, ever the diplomat, started what was sure to be a debate.
"Oh, I really don't care where we eat as long as I get some grub in my stomach; I'm starved." Duo expressed his urgency to agree on a restaurant, he didn't need another fight with that 'sexy bastard' sitting right next to him.
"Well, I guess that means Heero and I have to decide where to go. What do you say Heero?" Everyone in the SUV turned to Heero ask Trowa asked Heero for his decision.
Heero didn't even contemplate for more than a second before he simply said "sushi."
Heero loved sushi before he could even remember and it was something of a comfort food for him. 'And I could really use it right about now. It's not like a get enough of that longhaired baka in class, but now I have to spend my free time with him. He may look good, but he has the intelligence of a pet rock.' Heero continued to rant about said baka as Duo started the vehicle and drove to the nearest sushi bar.
"Hello, my name is Megan, do you handsome young men need a table for four?" The waitress asked with a flirtatious smile.
Four said guys all nodded to her question and were taken toward one of the tables in the back, giving them a little more privacy than the other customers. The restaurant was nice, but now overly so. There were tables that were low to the ground in the usual Japanese style, but they were in secluded rooms, mostly for bigger parties.
The four boys sat down, each sitting at one side of the square table, Heero across from Duo and Quatre across from Trowa. As soon as they sat down there were greeted by their waiter and handed menus.
As they sat there looking at what to order and waiting for their drinks Quatre decided to break the ice first.
"So Duo, what do you think of the district music so far?"
Duo looked up from his menu and started to critique the pieces. "Well, I must say that Gloria is a very nice piece. I can't wait to sing that one as a group. I don't even want to think about John the Revelator, I mean, I love gospel and everything, but it will never live up to Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho. That song just has a place in my heart. And Ave Maria, well, you and I both know that we've sang just about every single version of that song there is, so this one shouldn't be too hard."
Duo and Quatre kept on talking about the music, with an occasional comment from Trowa, until the waiter came by to take their orders and when he was gone they changed topic by talking about there respective clinicians.
A couple of minutes later their orders were placed in front of them on platters and with beautifully designed chopsticks next to everyone.
"Oh no, I didn't think about silverware, I haven't eaten with chopsticks in so long, I don't think I can anymore." Quatre complained.
The waiter heard the comment before he left the table. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I forget sometimes that not everyone can eat with chopsticks. Here, let me just take those back and I'll give you some silverware. The waiter went around the table taking everyone's chopsticks but he didn't even ask Heero as he held his chopsticks with perfect ease and picked up one piece of sushi as proof that he could indeed eat with them.
As he came to Duo he was about to take them up when Duo took them out of his reach, "No, no, that's ok, I can eat with chopsticks, but thank you anyways." Duo kindly declined.
'Hn, like that baka even knows what he's doing' Heero thought, 'there's no way he can eat with these, he's just trying to show off.'
Duo seemed to be reading Heero's mind. "Don't look at me like that Heero, I know what I'm doing," and as if to prove his point Duo raised a piece of his sushi to his mouth popped it in, chewing slowly, almost sensually.
Heero's eyes were wide, and he was a little surprised, not to mention a tiny bit pissed for being caught. He started at Duo's mouth and throat watching them work as he ate his one piece of sushi, and followed it with a sip of his ice cold water.
'His neck is very graceful, and beautiful, and oh so exposed right now. I would love to mark that beautiful peach skin.' Heero's thoughts ran away form him before he could stop them.
Heero was so mesmerized by Duo that he didn't stop ogling him until they made eye contact. Heero knew he was caught staring, and he looked away. He was only happy that Duo was the only to notice his momentary lapse of sanity as he started that the amethyst demon.
'Hmmm...it seems that Kat and I are not the only ones playing for the other team at this table.' Duo thought to himself with a smirk.
A/N: Okay...so it's been a while since I've updated. I hope you like the story so far. There may be some stuff in here that you don't understand or it might be boring because you don't know about choir and music and things of that nature. I would suggest that you download the songs I've talked about in this chapter. I've only talked about three out of the nine I may end up talking about.
Gloria in Excelsis Deo, by Thomas Weelkes
Ave Maria, and I forgot who arranged it
John the Revelator... I forgot who arranged this one as well, sorry!
If you listen to the songs you will most likely get more of the things I'm going to start talking about. Plus I might make some jokes about the songs and you won't get them if you don't listen to the music. Anyways, PLEASE REVIEW!!!
