Well, since ya'll have been waiting for sooooo long, chapter eight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I....I...." Heero was freezing. His mind was drawing a blank. He had no idea what he was going to say. He'd practised this in his head several times, so why was he choking? Why was he so nervous and scared? Perhaps it was because of what might happen. Just when he was about to make up some stupid excuse for acting so weird, Duo spoke.
"You what Heero... are you sure your okay? Do you need a doctor? What's wrong, you can tell me? It's obvious you what to tell me something, so just tell me. I'm sure I'll understand. If it's something weird or stupid, I won't laugh, I promise. I'll understand, I swear. Are you sure your okay? You are looking alittle red in the face. I'll call a doctor." Duo said worriedly, wondering why his best freind was acting so weird.
The only words Heero's mind was able to register were, "I'll understand." Those few words made Heero freeze. 'He'll understand. He'll understand. He said he won't laugh, he can't, he told me he'll understand, he promised. Unless he's lying, but......Dou never lies. That's it. I have to tell him. I have to tell him now, or I may never get this chance again.' At that thought, Heero spoke.
"No Duo, I'm fine. It's just that I......." He took a deep breathe and let it out slowly. "I...I..love.....you..Duo." There it was said. Heero gave a sigh of releif. 'It's off my chest, this feels surprisingly good. What's his reaction going to be though.' He thought.
With those last few words, Duo fell down to the floor, then froze in utter shock. Of all the things he was expecting Heero to say. THAT, was definutly the least of them. Duo's thoughts began to spin. 'He loves me, Ohmygod. I can't beleive he just said that. He loves me. Or is he just joking around with me....But...He dosn't kid around. At least, not like that. He loves me. HE LOVES ME. I guess that that's good. I have loved him for quite some time. I never expected him to love me though, that's why I'v kept my mouth shut this hole time and I never did anything out of being a good freind. However, come to think of it, he has been acting alittle strangely lately. I guess that, that's why.' As he was thinking, Duo was barely aware of Heero calling to him. Voice frought with worry and uneasiness.
"Duo.....Duo.....Duo...can you hear me?" Heero asked, uneasy at Duo's sudden shock. "Duo.....I'm sorry....You don't hate me, do you?" Heero was worried. Duo's shock and sudden quietness was scaring him. Duo's never just quiet, not unless something really got to him. "Duo...I'm sorry...I'll leave. Just forget I ever said that."
"Wait...Heero, no, don't go" As Duo said that, Heero turned to see Duo sitting on his knees, shock still evedent in his violet eyes. "I don't......I don't want you to go.... The reason is....because...because.....I.....I...I love you too Heero." At that, Heero froze. Duo's shock had lead him to beleive that Duo was mad or hated him, or maybe, just to stuned to accept anything right at the moment. However, it was not. It wasn't any of those at all. He was just a little shocked, that's all, maybe a bit happy. 'I can't really blame him. I would be to if he said that to me, espesially without a warning or anything.' He thought. 'But wait a second. Did he just say he loves me? I think he did. He just said that he loves me to. He loves me, h...he loves me, he really, truly, loves ME. No one else but me. He loves me. I can't beleive it. My dream come true. He loves me, like I love him. I feel really good right now. In fact, I feel so happy that I could burst.'
"Duo, what........what did you just say....D..Did I hear you right..D...Did you just say that...that you love me?" Heero had to comfirm from Duo himself, voice shaking.
"Yes Heero, that's what I said. I love you too. I love you. I always have. I just didn't say anything because I thought you would run away from me, like you did with Relena. I thought you would hate me. So I never said anything, and just treated you like a freind. If you mad. I'm sorry. I just couldn't risk losing you." Duo confessed, looking down at the floor with distant eyes staring off into space.
"No,no Duo. I'm not mad. In fact I'm quite jovial. I can understand why you never said anything. I thought the same things to. I was afraid you would run away as well. In fact, I wasn't even going to tell you, but then I talked to Quatre and Trowa and they pointed out a lot of things that I haven't even seen. Several things that I have overlooked. That opened my eyes and I desided I had better tell you before it's too late. Before we left and I never got a chance. You know the rest...." Heero said looking Duo square in the eyes with such intensity it made Duo shiver. He was definetly telling the truth.
' Woah, he's really serious. I guess some mannerisms never change. Even after the war is over. God, I feel sorry for him. That stuff has been permenently engrained into his brain. He's a total stiff, but yet. I feel these strange feelings for him and I can't help it. Sometimes I wonder how I was attracted to him, but I am. I've never seen him acting like this before though. He's so intence, but yet, he's also kind, gental, nervous and.......unsure. In a way, it's accually kinda cute.' Duo thought.
"Duo, are you alright? You've been quiet for quite awhile." Heero asked, concerned.
"Wha...Oh..Yeah..I'm fine, just thinking. So, you love me,huh? Wow, I never expected that. I always thought you saw me just as a freind, if even that. I've never thoght that you would love me. I mean, you have been acting differently, but, I just thought that it ment you where loosening up. Nothing like that. Don't get me wrong, I do love you. I'm just a little shocked. That's all, I'm fine really. So you can stop worrying about me." Duo said to Heero, usuall grin on his face.
After about two minutes, Heero's face moved in closer to Duo's. All the while, staring at the youthful, violet eyes of the taller man.
Duo was startled out of his shock by Heero's gentile touch on his cheek.
Heero began to move closer, and their lips touched for the third time in their lives. (This one, however, was special because it didn't involve one of them being unconsious and needing mouth-to-mouth resesitation.)
(The next day)
Duo awoke that morning later then usuall.( As a pose to Heero who hadn't gotten any sleep at all) 'Did that really happen?' Duo asked himself, refering to last night's events. 'Had I really told Heero everything......Yes, I did, and Heero loves me. He loves me. He told me himself. He also kissed me. I can't beleive it, he kissed me.....YES!!' That thought made Duo smile. Things were looking up for one Duo Maxwell.
As where for one Heero Yuy. Who, at the moment, was still wide awake in his bed in the room next to Duo's. He had decided not to stay over and take things slow. Even though they where both boys and there wasn't much chance of anyone finding out before they told them. Wufei had a very slim chance and that's one of the reasons why. With gundam pilots, a very slim chance easily turned into a very BIG chance. When everyone finds out, and he's sure they will eventually, he wants it to be because they told them. That is, if they ever told them, they might just keep it a secret for awhile.
However, one thing still bugged them both. Now that they're together.... How are they going to stay together? That question was already answered, to a certain extent. Fortunetly for Heero, the colledge that he's going to is on the same colony as Duo's apartment. That just happened to be among the many reasons why he chose it. It was close to Duo, another reason was because it was accually a very good school. He just remembered it's location last night while talking to Duo after his confession and their first kiss together.
They had accually discused how they would keep in touch and see eachother since they live far apart. Then Heero told Duo what colledge he was going to and Duo brought up that it was on his colony. Heero had cursed himself for forgetting that even though he knew it at the beginning of the trip, although he failed to mension it to Quatre and Trowa as well. Heero also remembered thinking at the beginning of the trip, that it would seem very suspisious if he went out of his way to see Duo all the time, when he had things to do such as classes, homework, and a job he needed to have in order to live. However, now that he and Duo where together, it wouldn't seem so suspisious. In fact, Duo might come to his school every now and then.
Also during their discusion, Duo had told Heero that if he didn't want to live in the dorms, where he wouldn't know anybody, he could come and live with him in his apartment. Heero said he most likely would, but he'd have to think about it. He really did like that idea though. The thought of living with Duo made a smile grace across his face.
Just then, the alarm rang. "Bee-click." However, this morning, he didn't have to listen to a long, annoying "beep." Instead, since he was already up, he could get it the very instant it started. He had been up since he came back to his room with the intension of going to sleep. Instead, he couldn't sleep and he stayed up all night thinking about all that had happened after his confession.
Heero knew Duo was asleep. He knew that when thing got strange or confusing. Duo's way of sorting things out was to sleep on it. One of the many things he learned about the young pilot during the war. Heero also knew Duo was probably still asleep or just now waking up. It was understandable, they just went to bed about one hour ago. They did stay up all night talking.(gg:Just talking all you hentai fans) Mostly about how they would see eachother and then, how they would tell everyone. They decided that they would only tell them if the time was right. Which, that may be never. Not with the way this group is. NO moment is ever the RIGHT moment.
"Heero, can I come in?" Duo asked in a wisper.
"Oh, yeah. Come on in." Heero answered.
The door opened and Duo came in, shutting the door behind him. His hair was still down, but it was dry. He was now wearing a pair of black jeans and a black button down, short sleaved shirt. Heero just stared at him for a minute.
'Black really does suit him very well, and with his hair down, he looks even better.' Heero thought to himself.
"Good morning Heero." Duo said, tired smile on his face.
"Good morning Duo. Did you just get up?" Heero asked.
"Nah, I've been up for about twenty minutes. So how about you, did I wake you?" Duo asked in wonder. He had barely gotten any sleep last night and was wondering if Heero had as much trouble as he did.
"No, in fact, I couldn't sleep at all last night." Heero answered as he rose up and out of his bed. Heero was wearing his trademark spandex and green tanktop.
"Oh...really, I'm sorry. Do you know why, or was it just that you couldn't sleep? I know I get that sometimes." Duo said as he yawned.
"I was thinking about a few things. Anyway, why don't you go ahead and go down stairs. I'll be down in a couple of minutes. I still have to take a shower and get dressed."
"Yeah, I'll go down. Oh, and don't worry. I won't tell a single soul. I'm good at keeping secrets, so I won't crack. I promise. No matter what. I'll keep my mouth shut. Don't worry about it. I know you don't want people to know just yet....Well, I'll let you get to your shower. Tutaloo!" Duo said as he walked out and closed the door behind him.
Heero smiled to himself and went on to take his shower. He had no worries and trusted Duo completely. If Duo wasn't good at keeping secrets, his secret past wouldn't be a secret anymore. 'I wonder if he'll ever tell me about his past.' Heero wondered as he stepped in the shower. 'I know I can't push him to tell me. It would drive him away. He's very sensitive about his past, I can tell by the way he won't talk about it. Whenever someone brings it up, he gets such sad eyes. If he ever did tell me, it would be because he trusted me, and by his free will. I mean, he does trust me now. He trust me with his life, not his past. He dosn't trust anyone with it. I do hope that one day, he will open up and tell me. Yeah, he does talk alot, but, at the same time, he barely talks at all. I just hope I figure out all of his secrets. The day that he opens up to me, I pray for that day to come, if it ever does.'
With that final thought, he turned of the water and stepped out of the shower. He put on his close, as pair of khaki jeans and a navy blue, button down shirt. Then he walked out the door that lead to the hall way and headed to where he knew Duo and the others would be.
As he walked out, he could see Wufei walking down the hall and decided to wait for him.
"Hello Wufei." Heero said casually as Wufei reached him.
"Good morning Heero." Wufei responded casually. They both walked in silence and Heero knew Wufei had something on his mind. However, chose to remain quiet. If Wufei wanted to say something, he would, and that's just what he did.
"Soo.... How'd it go?" Wufei asked, casual smirk on his face.
"Huh.... How'd what go?" Heero asked, trying to hide what he knew Wufei had probably already figured out.
"I AM right across the hall from you two, you know. I can hear everything that goes on. ESPECIALLY in a totally quiet house, Heero. It's quite obvious what's going on. I heard your entire conversation and I'm just curious as to what's going to happen next." Wufei explained, knowing Heero was trying to keep it a secret. He just couldn't figure out why. Heero should know that it was near impossible to keep a secret in this specific group. They where gundam pilots for a reason. Just then, he heard Heero give a surrendering sigh.
"I guess your right. Man, where we being that loud. The truth is.... I'v liked Duo for awhile, and last night, I decided to tell him..... Luckely for me, he felt the same way. I may have stayed in his room all night......but that was because we had a few things to work out. Like, how we would see each other when we live so far away from eachother. I know it has got to be hard for Quatre and Trowa when Trowa's in the circus and traveling all the time. As well as Quatre running this huge corperation. Anyway, then I remembered that the colledge I'm going to is on the same colony that Duo lives on...... Then he asked me if I wanted to live with him instead of a colledge dorm..... I told him I would think about it....I'm pretty sure I will though." Heero explaned.
"So...what are you going to live with him?" Wufei asked.
"To be honest, I really don't know. I would like to live with him, but I'm afraid something might happen. I keep feeling something in the pit of my stomach. I felt it during the war as well, when I knew something wasn't right. Oh well.." Heero sighed. "It's just a feeling. It'll probably leave soon, so I have no reason to worry. Well, Duo's waiting, and I'v got to tell him that you know. Also that Quatre and Trowa probably found out already. We agreed not to tell anyone unless the time was right. I was really hoping not to tell anyone period. I guess that that's just my luck." Heero said. That last part more to himself really, rather then to Wufei.
They both walked in silence until they got to the stairs. Once at the bottom of the stairs, they could see Duo being his usual self, entergetic and talkitive. He was talking like nothing had happened. Heero couldn't help but admire his acting skill. He was acting as if nothing was bothering him, even though he probably had alot on his mind.
"There you are. Wufei, did you sleep in?" Duo asked in a kind of teasing voice.
"Shut up Maxwell, who could sleep with all the racket you were making last night?" Wufei angerly said, not really caring if he got an answer.
"What racket might that be. I don't snor and even if I did. You wouldn't have waited until now to complain and Heero would probably say something as well. So, nyaaaa." Duo said, sticking out his tongue.
"You are not a five-year-old." Wufei said, trying his best at a retort. "Although you do act like one 99.9% of the time."
"Ohh. That's good Wufei, did you think that up all by your self. Wow, I must say, I'm impressed." Duo said, he seem to be having more luck with this than Wufei at the moment.
"Now, now, you two. Let's not get into it this early in the morning." Quatre said. Even though he was trying to sound stern, his voice was still laughing at how young they can act half the time.
"I agree, you both are acting like a couple of five-year-olds if you ask me. Not just Duo." Trowa put in, smiling. He knew they did this because they enjoyed it. It was just a sign of botherly affection towards eachother. To be honest, he enjoyed watching them, it was a reason to laugh, but sometimes you have to stop them before they get physical. They had one time during an exeptionaly cruel argument. It had taken him, Quatre, AND Heero to break them up. Two black eyes, a broken pinky and a fat lip later, they finally broke them up. However, after that, those three decided it would be best if they kept those two from fighting ever again. At least it was hand-to-hand, and not while they where in there gundams.
"I agree with Trowa. Oh, and Duo, Wufei heard us talking last night so he already knows." Heero told Duo, half-laughing at how well they get along, but at the same time, don't get along.
"He heard us. Well shit, there goes our secret. I didn't think we were that loud. Goddamnit." Duo said, angry at the fact that someone had heard and he had thought that they where being extremely queit.
"Yeah, I heard. It's not hard to hear when I'm right across the hall from you. So, yeah, I know your "secret"." Wufei said, conferming Heero's words.
"What secret. Now I feel left out. How about you Trowa?" Quatre said.
"Indeed, I do as well. What's this secret you keep talking about?" Trowa asked, he and Quatre both had a pretty good idea what the "secret" was, but it was always good to ask.
"You already know. It's just as your thinking." Heero said, answering there question. A red tinge in his face.
"Huh, oohhhhhh. That secret. Well that's good. You where kind of skeptical about it in the first place. I'm proud of you, and Duo, congradulations." Quatre said, smiling.
"Huh, Ohhh, yeah.......Thanks." Duo said, alittle embaressed. He was already occupied with a glaring contest with Wufei, since they couldn't argue verbaly with out getting yelled at.
"I still can't beleive this Heero. The fact that you like another man, that's understandable, but of all the men you could have choosen....Why did you choose THAT CLOWN!" Wufei asked, jerking a thumb in Duo's direction.
"Because he did, and by the way.....Just what do you mean by "That clown," huh?" Duo asked. "I mean...do I look like a clown to you?"
"Do you really want me to answer that?" Wufei asked.
"I really don't know why Wufei." Heero said, in an attempt to stop yet another arguement. "I just did. That's all I can say."
"Uh-huh, right. Well, I guess it's true what they say....'Oposites attract' or something like that." Wufei said.
"Oh, is that so?" Duo said looking at Wufei. "I'v never heard that one before. I guess I really am out of the loop. Or maybe it just wasn't said while I was growing up."
"Oh...you've never heard it before. Well, basically what it means is....." Quatre started, but was cut off by Duo.
"I know what it means. It's easy to figure out...I'm just saying that I'v never heard it before, but thanks for the help anyway." Duo said.
"Oh...Okay.... Well, anyway. Let's go for breakfast. I think that it's done." Quatre said, accually a little hungry.
"Yeah, let's go. I'm starving." Duo said, smile on his face.

Also during their discusion, Duo had told Heero that if he didn't want to live in the dorms, where he wouldn't know anybody, he could come and live with him in his apartment. Heero said he most likely would, but he'd have to think about it. He really did like that idea though. The thought of living with Duo made a smile grace across his face.
Just then, the alarm rang. "Bee-click." However, this morning, he didn't have to listen to a long, annoying "beep." Instead, since he was already up, he could get it the very instant it started. He had been up since he came back to his room with the intension of going to sleep. Instead, he couldn't sleep and he stayed up all night thinking about all that had happened after his confession.
Heero knew Duo was asleep. He knew that when thing got strange or confusing. Duo's way of sorting things out was to sleep on it. One of the many things he learned about the young pilot during the war. Heero also knew Duo was probably still asleep or just now waking up. It was understandable, they just went to bed about one hour ago. They did stay up all night talking.(gg:Just talking all you hentai fans) Mostly about how they would see eachother and then, how they would tell everyone. They decided that they would only tell them if the time was right. Which, that may be never. Not with the way this group is. NO moment is ever the RIGHT moment.
"Heero, can I come in?" Duo asked in a wisper.
"Oh, yeah. Come on in." Heero answered.
The door opened and Duo came in, shutting the door behind him. His hair was still down, but it was dry. He was now wearing a pair of black jeans and a black button down, short sleaved shirt. Heero just stared at him for a minute.
'Black really does suit him very well, and with his hair down, he looks even better.' Heero thought to himself.
"Good morning Heero." Duo said, tired smile on his face.
"Good morning Duo. Did you just get up?" Heero asked.
"Nah, I've been up for about twenty minutes. So how about you, did I wake you?" Duo asked in wonder. He had barely gotten any sleep last night and was wondering if Heero had as much trouble as he did.
"No, in fact, I couldn't sleep at all last night." Heero answered as he rose up and out of his bed. Heero was wearing his trademark spandex and green tanktop.
"Oh...really, I'm sorry. Do you know why, or was it just that you couldn't sleep? I know I get that sometimes." Duo said as he yawned.
"I was thinking about a few things. Anyway, why don't you go ahead and go down stairs. I'll be down in a couple of minutes. I still have to take a shower and get dressed."
"Yeah, I'll go down. Oh, and don't worry. I won't tell a single soul. I'm good at keeping secrets, so I won't crack. I promise. No matter what. I'll keep my mouth shut. Don't worry about it. I know you don't want people to know just yet....Well, I'll let you get to your shower. Tutaloo!" Duo said as he walked out and closed the door behind him.
Heero smiled to himself and went on to take his shower. He had no worries and trusted Duo completely. If Duo wasn't good at keeping secrets, his secret past wouldn't be a secret anymore. 'I wonder if he'll ever tell me about his past.' Heero wondered as he stepped in the shower. 'I know I can't push him to tell me. It would drive him away. He's very sensitive about his past, I can tell by the way he won't talk about it. Whenever someone brings it up, he gets such sad eyes. If he ever did tell me, it would be because he trusted me, and by his free will. I mean, he does trust me now. He trust me with his life, not his past. He dosn't trust anyone with it. I do hope that one day, he will open up and tell me. Yeah, he does talk alot, but, at the same time, he barely talks at all. I just hope I figure out all of his secrets. The day that he opens up to me, I pray for that day to come, if it ever does.'
With that final thought, he turned of the water and stepped out of the shower. He put on his close, as pair of khaki jeans and a navy blue, button down shirt. Then he walked out the door that lead to the hall way and headed to where he knew Duo and the others would be.
As he walked out, he could see Wufei walking down the hall and decided to wait for him.
"Hello Wufei." Heero said casually as Wufei reached him.
"Good morning Heero." Wufei responded casually. They both walked in silence and Heero knew Wufei had something on his mind. However, chose to remain quiet. If Wufei wanted to say something, he would, and that's just what he did.
"Soo.... How'd it go?" Wufei asked, casual smirk on his face.
"Huh.... How'd what go?" Heero asked, trying to hide what he knew Wufei had probably already figured out.
"I AM right across the hall from you two, you know. I can hear everything that goes on. ESPECIALLY in a totally quiet house, Heero. It's quite obvious what's going on. I heard your entire conversation and I'm just curious as to what's going to happen next." Wufei explained, knowing Heero was trying to keep it a secret. He just couldn't figure out why. Heero should know that it was near impossible to keep a secret in this specific group. They where gundam pilots for a reason. Just then, he heard Heero give a surrendering sigh.
"I guess your right. Man, where we being that loud. The truth is.... I'v liked Duo for awhile, and last night, I decided to tell him..... Luckely for me, he felt the same way. I may have stayed in his room all night......but that was because we had a few things to work out. Like, how we would see each other when we live so far away from eachother. I know it has got to be hard for Quatre and Trowa when Trowa's in the circus and traveling all the time. As well as Quatre running this huge corperation. Anyway, then I remembered that the colledge I'm going to is on the same colony that Duo lives on...... Then he asked me if I wanted to live with him instead of a colledge dorm..... I told him I would think about it....I'm pretty sure I will though." Heero explaned.
"So...what are you going to live with him?" Wufei asked.
"To be honest, I really don't know. I would like to live with him, but I'm afraid something might happen. I keep feeling something in the pit of my stomach. I felt it during the war as well, when I knew something wasn't right. Oh well.." Heero sighed. "It's just a feeling. It'll probably leave soon, so I have no reason to worry. Well, Duo's waiting, and I'v got to tell him that you know. Also that Quatre and Trowa probably found out already. We agreed not to tell anyone unless the time was right. I was really hoping not to tell anyone period. I guess that that's just my luck." Heero said. That last part more to himself really, rather then to Wufei.
They both walked in silence until they got to the stairs. Once at the bottom of the stairs, they could see Duo being his usual self, entergetic and talkitive. He was talking like nothing had happened. Heero couldn't help but admire his acting skill. He was acting as if nothing was bothering him, even though he probably had alot on his mind.
"There you are. Wufei, did you sleep in?" Duo asked in a kind of teasing voice.
"Shut up Maxwell, who could sleep with all the racket you were making last night?" Wufei angerly said, not really caring if he got an answer.
"What racket might that be. I don't snor and even if I did. You wouldn't have waited until now to complain and Heero would probably say something as well. So, nyaaaa." Duo said, sticking out his tongue.
"You are not a five-year-old." Wufei said, trying his best at a retort. "Although you do act like one 99.9% of the time."
"Ohh. That's good Wufei, did you think that up all by your self. Wow, I must say, I'm impressed." Duo said, he seem to be having more luck with this than Wufei at the moment.
"Now, now, you two. Let's not get into it this early in the morning." Quatre said. Even though he was trying to sound stern, his voice was still laughing at how young they can act half the time.
"I agree, you both are acting like a couple of five-year-olds if you ask me. Not just Duo." Trowa put in, smiling. He knew they did this because they enjoyed it. It was just a sign of botherly affection towards eachother. To be honest, he enjoyed watching them, it was a reason to laugh, but sometimes you have to stop them before they get physical. They had one time during an exeptionaly cruel argument. It had taken him, Quatre, AND Heero to break them up. Two black eyes, a broken pinky and a fat lip later, they finally broke them up. However, after that, those three decided it would be best if they kept those two from fighting ever again. At least it was hand-to-hand, and not while they where in there gundams.
"I agree with Trowa. Oh, and Duo, Wufei heard us talking last night so he already knows." Heero told Duo, half-laughing at how well they get along, but at the same time, don't get along.
"He heard us. Well shit, there goes our secret. I didn't think we were that loud. Goddamnit." Duo said, angry at the fact that someone had heard and he had thought that they where being extremely queit.
"Yeah, I heard. It's not hard to hear when I'm right across the hall from you. So, yeah, I know your "secret"." Wufei said, conferming Heero's words.
"What secret. Now I feel left out. How about you Trowa?" Quatre said.
"Indeed, I do as well. What's this secret you keep talking about?" Trowa asked, he and Quatre both had a pretty good idea what the "secret" was, but it was always good to ask.
"You already know. It's just as your thinking." Heero said, answering there question. A red tinge in his face.
"Huh, oohhhhhh. That secret. Well that's good. You where kind of skeptical about it in the first place. I'm proud of you, and Duo, congradulations." Quatre said, smiling.
"Huh, Ohhh, yeah.......Thanks." Duo said, alittle embaressed. He was already occupied with a glaring contest with Wufei, since they couldn't argue verbaly with out getting yelled at.
"I still can't beleive this Heero. The fact that you like another man, that's understandable, but of all the men you could have choosen....Why did you choose THAT CLOWN!" Wufei asked, jerking a thumb in Duo's direction.
"Because he did, and by the way.....Just what do you mean by "That clown," huh?" Duo asked. "I mean...do I look like a clown to you?"
"Do you really want me to answer that?" Wufei asked.
"I really don't know why Wufei." Heero said, in an attempt to stop yet another arguement. "I just did. That's all I can say."
"Uh-huh, right. Well, I guess it's true what they say....'Oposites attract' or something like that." Wufei said.
"Oh, is that so?" Duo said looking at Wufei. "I'v never heard that one before. I guess I really am out of the loop. Or maybe it just wasn't said while I was growing up."
"Oh...you've never heard it before. Well, basically what it means is....." Quatre started, but was cut off by Duo.
"I know what it means. It's easy to figure out...I'm just saying that I'v never heard it before, but thanks for the help anyway." Duo said.
"Oh...Okay.... Well, anyway. Let's go for breakfast. I think that it's done." Quatre said, accually a little hungry.
"Yeah, let's go. I'm starving." Duo said, smile on his face.
