Yo my nizzles! No? Well I thought I'd try some "street talk". If you can hear that music in the background: YAY! I got the new Evanescence CD. Heero bought it for me. Speaking of Heero, it's great to have a tough, popular boyfriend. Let's just say people have decided they don't want to fuck with me anymore.
I woke up this morning with a headache. Don't ask me how, but there it was. Anyway, my mother calling my name in her "Duo wake the fuck up or you'll be late for school" voice didn't help.
I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up, only way too fast. Head rush not helping the headache. I walked into the bathroom, hitting my head on the door in the process. Stop laughing; I don't know how I did it. One minute I'm walking straight into the bathroom, and the next I just veer to the right and hit my fucking head. If you want you can stop here and make a gay joke.
Done? Okay good. Hope it's all out of your system. Rubbing my head, I turned on the water, grumbling about traitorous doors. After brushing my teeth without incident I got dressed and headed downstairs to have a talk with my mother about her voice. There was a bit of a surprise waiting for me. Sitting at the kitchen table was none other than Heero Yuy. He took one look at me, and I swear his eyes lit up in a mixture of happiness and concern (probably because I was scowling like I wanted to kill a puppy…. so like Wufei, ha ha).
"Duo, are you all right?" he said.
"Do I look okay?" I said. Wait, wait…. back up Duo. You're boyfriend is concerned. Don't be a fucking ass-hole you moron. "But I'm better now," I amended.
Heero, having frowned at my original statement, still looked hesitant. He dropped it, though, and held up a bag in his hand. "I brought you some breakfast," he said.
See, best boyfriend EVER. "Thanks," I said, grabbing the bag from his hand.
"I'll drive you to school while you eat," he said.
"That'd be great," I said smiling. "Bye Mom!"
It would be impolite to leave without saying goodbye. "Bye sweetie," came a muffled voice from inside the bathroom.
/Stoplight in the dark, don't look back/
"Hey Heero, why the hell didn't you tell me you got the new Evanescence CD?" I said, my voice oddly calm.
Heero was either psychic, or yet again the greatest boyfriend ever, because he reached under his seat and pulled out a wrapped package. "Open it," he said.
Looking at Heero warily, I lifted the corner off the wrapping. "Fuck it," I thought, and ripped off the rest of the wrapping.
A heavenly light shone down, and a choir of angels sang out and the contents of the package were revealed. Okay, so that was a slight exaggeration, but it fucking rocked that Heero got me the CD too. "Happy Birthday," he whispered in my ear, sounding seductive.
I blushed but said, "Keep your eyes on the road happy-pants."
He pulled over to side of the road. "Can I kiss you, or will Listerfiend bite my tongue off?" he asked.
"As long as you keep away from Pillowpants you're fine," I said.
He leaned over and placed his lips over mine, and my mouth opened, inviting his ton……
Sorry, but it's getting a bit to hot. Let's skip ahead a bit.
I pushed Heero away reluctantly. "If we don't move we'll be late."
Heero pouted, but started the car anyway. He's very cute when he pouts, which is weird since it usually only works that way with kids.
Between second and third period I had to go to the bathroom. I know, I know. Eww, school bathrooms. But ya gotta go, ya gotta go. As I was drying my hands (after washing them), two popular kids (jocks I think) walked in.
One of them grabbed my shoulders and pushed me into the sink. "Hey there queer-bag," he said sneeringly.
"Hi there you moronic pile of equine excretions," I said.
Big words confused him, but not for long, and he punched me in the stomach. My stomach is unfortunately my glass jaw. Needless to say, I saw stars. When my head cleared I was lying on the ground, and they were kicking me all over.
It stopped when they were wrenched away from me by a shadowy shape. My white night had come, sporting chocolate brown hair and blue eyes. He slammed one of them into the mirror above the counter, cracking it in the process. Before that one even hit the ground the other was thrown into a stall door. That one cracked his head on the toilet.
Heero knelt down next to me. "Duo, can you stand up?" he said.
I stood, but my legs were still shaking. He grabbed me and wrapped my arm around his shoulder. We walked slowly to the nurse's office, stopping every once and while so I wouldn't get too dizzy.
And that's where today ends. I went home from the nurse's office with a few bruises and an order of bed rest. But the bed rest was only because I called her Madam Pomfrey on the way out. Oops. Oh, did I mention that Heero is the greatest boyfriend ever?
A/N: Well there you go. A chapter to celebrate the release of The Open Door, or my purchase of it anyway. I hope everyone got the Clerks 2 reference.
By the way, I've noticed a lot of people leaving the GW fandom. I will admit I thought about it for a while, but decided against it. I do read fan fiction other than GW, as my favorites will attest to. And I must say I don't see nearly the same amount of friendliness that I do in this fandom. For Harry Potter you only ever see large archives, but do a search for GW fan fiction, and you'll see hundreds, all groups of friends that get together to write. That's not saying that there aren't large ones, but there are many more small ones. So I will stick with the fandom that shaped how I write, with the occasional jaunt into another fandom. GW FOREVER!
I had to use a Swiftie just once in my writing career.
