Camera Day 5 Duo

Duo here. Yeah, you knew it was me. I'm soooo happy. This is the last day I'm doing this. So, let's get started.

~*~

Heero didn't come to pick me up today, so I just walked. Needless to say, though, I was pissed. I mean come on. So I know that he's in love with me. That doesn't mean he can't drive me to school.

As I was walking out the door, Bill asked me, "Your stupid boyfriend isn't here to pick you up."

Then I did something that I've wanted to do for a long time. I punched him. YES! "Don't call him stupid," I said, and walked out the door, while my mother was helping Bill. But she was laughing, too.

~*~

If I had known that I would get in a fight today.. Well I still would have gone to school, 'cause I kicked ass.

I don't know why, maybe they just felt like beating up some kid today, but they came up to me and tried to get me to fight them. "Come on fag. Fight us," one of them said.

"No," I replied.

"Are ya scared?" asked another.

"Not at all," I answered. And I wasn't.

I guess they got tired of me not fighting them, so one of them threw a punch at me. I used an out block to brush his fist to the side and then threw a punch at him. It hit him square in the nose. He clutched at his nose trying to stop the flow of blood.

Another came at me from the side, so I hit him with a sidekick in the gut. I turned around quickly and hit him with a fake front kick.

One of there friends came rushing at me from about three yards away. I started running at him, and at what I judged to be the right moment I jumped up and hit him in the face with a flying sidekick. All three of them were now done with me.

For some reason I was the only one that was sent to the principal. Maybe it was because I was the only one not in the nurse's office.

I knocked on the door and heard the principal say, "It's open."

I walked in and Mr. Wagner (the principal) looked up. "Ah, Mr. Maxwell," he said with a smile on his face.

"Um.yeah," I said, wondering why he was smiling. "I heard about your fight," he said. "I'm glad to see you're finally standing up for yourself. I talked to some witnesses and they all said it was in self-defense. Is that correct?"

"Yes," I said.

"Then I don't see any reason to pursue this any further. But just because I think that way doesn't mean the boy's parents will. Expect some lawsuits. You're free to go," he said.

"Thanks," I said, standing up.

"Have a good day," he said.

School, up until lunch, was uneventful. When I sat down at the lunch table, though, Quatre started babbling. "Ohmygodyoudidn'tgetsuspeneddidyou? Didtheybelieveus?"

I stopped Quatre's babbling by holding up a hand. "I'm fine. No, I didn't get suspended. If I had, then I wouldn't be sitting here right now." I answered.

Then I looked at Heero. "Where were you this morning?" I asked.

"I thought you wouldn't want me to pick you up anymore," he said, looking nervous.

"If I had wanted you to stay away from me I would have said so yesterday," I said. "Idiot," I added.

"Oh," said Heero.

I got up. "Come with me Heero," I said. He nodded and we walked out of the cafeteria to the seclusion of the hallway.

When the doors had shut behind us I said, "So, you love me right?"

Heero nodded. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I asked.

"Well, I didn't know how you'd react," he said. "I mean, I didn't want you to hate me or anything."

"I don't hate you," I said. "In fact, the exact opposite."

"You mean."

"Yep," I said. "Now. I'm going back in, because I'm hungry."

Heero followed me in with a dazed look on his face. When our tablemates saw this they smirked.

~*~

Heero had decided that I should just go over to his house for the rest of the day, because there was no point in him dropping me off them coming back later. His house was huge. I voiced that and said I wanted to go in the back door. He got what I meant. I could tell, because he blushed. He's cute when he blushes.

At around seven o'clock we had dinner. Heero isn't exactly the best cook, but I pretended to like the food. Then at seven we left for an eight o'clock concert. Yep today's Friday.

~*~

We found our seats easy enough. We started cheering with everybody else when Evanescence finally came out.

~NOW I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I'VE DONE TO YOU 50 THOUSAND TEARS I'VE CRIED~

"I don't like this song," I said to Heero, who looked at me like I was crazy. "Oh stop that. I'm gonna go get something to drink, what do you want?"

"Beer?" he asked hopefully.

"Sprite it is," I answered.

A couple of minutes later I got back to our seats with the drinks. Evanescence was in the middle of Bring Me to Life. I handed Heero his drink at looked up at the stage. I hadn't noticed before, but someone was missing. "Where's Ben?" I asked Heero.

"Get with the program, Duo," he said. "Ben left the band."

"Why?" I asked.

"Nobody knows," he answered. "Apparently, though, he's unstable."

"Ah," I said.

~*~

We enjoyed the rest of the concert like any other concertgoers would. Then Heero drove me home. When we had pulled into my driveway and I was about to climb out, Heero grabbed my arm. "Good-night kiss?" he asked.

I gave him a kiss on the cheek. "That's all?" he asked.

"On the first date," I answered.

"Fine," he said, pouting.

I climbed out and he drove off. When I opened the door my mother got me into a giant bear hug. "What's this about?" I asked.

"I'm just so happy," she said. "You finally stood up for yourself!"

"You mean. you're not mad?" I asked, a little shocked.

"Of course not," she said. "It was self-defense. Wasn't it?"

"Yes, it was," I said.

"Good."

~*~

Okay. I guess that was it. Oh, wait. I did tell my mother I was gay. She took it fine.

She's divorcing Bill. He wasn't happy when I punched him, so he left.

I'm done with this. I don't need it anymore. I'm happy as a. well I can't think of anything. I'm just happy. Signing of for good, Duo Maxwell

The End?

Okay. That was the end. Did you like it? Looking over it, I see some parts I want to change, but it's late, and I've put this chapter off for too long. I hope you enjoyed it. The question mark at the end means there might be more parts. I will post them as I see fit. Thanks for reading.
