Thanks for the lovely reviews. I hope I keep you entertained.

"So Duo, you ask out Quatre yet?" Trowa teased Duo as he walked up to meet them in their usually place before school started.

"Will you guys stop asking me that. Its getting old okay?" Duo rolled his eyes as he adjusted his backpack. He had just arrived at school and already his friends were teasing him.

"Its obvious you like him. You can hardly take your eyes off of him." Wufei stated calmly.

"Look we are just friends okay and I'll like to keep it that way for now okay."

Its not like Duo didn't like him it was just he wasn't sure if things were going to work out yet. Besides he had only known Quatre two weeks so far and he wanted to get to know Quatre a little better before even thinking about having a relationship with the cute blonde.

Heero shrugged. "Suite yourself."

The bell rang and the group slowly started to make their way inside the school building.


Quatre sighed as he let up his umbrella and continued walking. He really disliked taking the city bus to get home, but his mom worked when school was dismissed so he had no choice. Taking the bus actually took him out of his way to get home, but it was better than walking the whole way in the unpredictable Florida weather. Quatre just wanted to go home as soon as possible. He not only had homework to do, but he needed to practice playing his violin since he got accepted into the band. Hopefully he wouldn't be too soaked and tired when he finally got home. He couldn't help but smile though as he thought of how nice Duo was to him that day. Actually Duo was nice to him everyday really, but everyday just seemed a little bit better to him.


Duo whistled as he finished pumping the gas. He was glad the school day was over with. It was starting to rain, but he was in a good mood because there was an episode of his favorite tv show Supernatural waiting for him to watch when he got home. Duo made sure the gas cap was on tightly and closed the covering before he got in the car and started it up. The radio started playing a Sevendust song and he smiled, this was beginning to be an awesome afternoon.

Duo slowly pulled forward and stopped at the gas station exit as he saw a pedestrian wanting to cross. He briefly glanced at the person and then did a double take as the person started to cross in front of him. It was Quatre. Today was getting even better. But what was Quatre doing out in the rain?

Duo immediately blew his horn and Quatre jumped startled at the sudden sound. Quatre was sure the car was going to let him cross the entrance first.

"Hey Quatre." Duo rolled his window down and stuck his head out of the window, not caring about the rain in the slightest.

Quatre froze. Out of all the people he had to see outside of school it had to be Duo. Not that he didn't like Duo, quite the opposite. He liked Duo too much and every moment around Duo he had to keep control of his emotions and body reactions.

Quatre timidly walked towards the drivers side.

"Hey Quatre, whatcha doing outside in the rain? Hope on in and I'll give you a ride."

Quatre shook his head. "No that's okay Duo. I don't mind walking, really."

Duo rolled his eyes. "Come on and get in. You'll catch a cold if you walk around in the rain."

Quatre hesitated, but Duo kept insisting and he ultimately gave in as he closed up the umbrella and shook it out while walking to the passengers side of Duo's car to enter. He took his backpack off and placed it on the floor near his feet.

"Thanks a lot Duo."

"Hey no problem, Quatre. Why are you walking though I thought you rode the school bus."

Quatre shrugged and refused to make eye contact with Duo. "Well I actually ride the city bus when I get out of school, not the school bus."

"Oh, okay." Duo wondered why Quatre didn't tell him that before. It was not a big deal. "Well you shoulda told me before. I don't mind giving you a ride after school."

Quate immediately looked up and hook his head. "No Duo, I couldn't ask you to do that."

Duo shrugged. "Its no big deal. I'm usually not going anything after school anyway. Where do you live?"

"In the Palm West apartments on Scooter street." Answered Quatre.

Duo eyes widened. "Really? Dude, I live like two minutes from you then. I stay in Orange Grove."

A car honked at Duo and he laughed. "Oops, I kinda forgot I'm blocking the exit." He took his foot off the brake and proceeded to head into the street.

Duo couldn't help but grin as he drove happily to his passenger's home. Anytime with Quatre was a blessing, but he did wonder why Quatre was so reluctant to get into the car with him. And he also thought about the times Quatre seemed reserved in class and didn't say much about himself. Actually the only thing Duo really knew about Quatre in the two weeks of knowing him was that he was from North Carolina and moved to Florida because his mom got a new job. And of course he knew Quatre was kind-hearted, polite, beautiful, and had the most lovely smile.

Yeah Quatre was something else, but still why didn't Quatre want to talk about himself. Was that just the way he was or was it something else. The only thing he could think was because Quatre didn't really want to be his friend. Maybe he was just pretending to be his friend so he didn't have to go through high school not knowing anyone. Or maybe it was because he found out Duo was gay and now he hated him. Even though Quatre kinda gave off the gay vibe, Duo didn't really know for sure.

"Turn right here, Duo."

Duo snapped out of his thoughts and did as instructed. "Hey Quatre can I ask you a question?"

"Sure Duo. You can park next to that white car I stay in that building."

Once Duo parked the car he looked over at Quatre. "We are friends right?"

"Yeah...At least I consider you a friend." Quatre said confused at the question.

"So you don't hate me, right?"

"What? Duo why on Earth would you think I hate you? You've been nice to me every since I meet you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have any friends at all."

Duo let out a held breath and smiled a little. "Sorry. Its just that...well...Heero told me you asked if I was gay and..." Duo shrugged. "You've been acting a little distant is all. I thought maybe it bothered you and you were just trying to find a way to say you didn't want to be friends."

"Oh I'm so sorry Duo. This is all my fault." Quatre shook his head. "Its not you Duo, its me. Really. I don't sleep so well some nights so when I get to school, I'm usually tired and some days are worst than others. I don't hate you Duo, especially not because you're gay. In that case I would hate myself."

"So you're..."

"I'm gay as well, Duo. I never want you to think I don't like you Duo. You really are a great person." Quatre smiled. "So... is everything okay now?"

Duo grinned. "Absolutely." That was a huge weight off his chest.

"Good." Quatre gave Duo a hug and he accepted it gratefully.

"Sorry about freaking out like that. You just been a little quieter since you first got here and you don't really talk about yourself so I thought it might have been because of me. Something I said or did."

Quatre shook his head. "No need to apologize, Duo. And if you want to know something you can ask." Quatre looked out the window and saw the rain was getting harder. "You should get home before it gets too bad."

Quatre gathered his backpack in his lap and looked back at Duo. "I'll see you tomorrow at school."

Duo grinned. "Yep."

"Good. Be careful driving home." Quatre hopped out of the car quickly and waved Duo off before heading up the stairs.

Duo smiled the whole way home. Now if he could only let Quatre know he was interested in being more than friends.
