Part 5

The following evening found Heero camped out across the street from Duo's apartment building waiting for Duo to come out. He already predicted which route Duo would take and estimated it would take 20 minutes to get to the club via subway.

As expected Duo came bouncing outside dressed in tight black jeans his usual navel jackets buttoned closed. He waved to a couple guys hanging out on the steps and started out in the direction of the nearest subway station.

Heero followed all the way to the club called Eden, it looked more like a warehouse from the outside. Heero recognized Duo's friend Quatre from his picture waiting outside with a tall young man with long bangs combed over one eye. Together the three entered the club and Heero followed.

Duo and his friends sat at a table set in an area of the club that looked down on the dancing hordes. This section had staff that delivered drinks and its own bar. Even though the club was well packed there was a reserved table for the three friends waiting for them. Heero took a seat at the bar that gave him an unobstructed view of Duo's table. He ordered a ginger ale and began his vigil.

An hour later, still nursing his watered down soda, Heero watched as Duo and his friends continued to talk and laugh, but hadn't got up to dance. Duo looked like he was having a good time, he and Quatre were doing most of the talking. The tall man seemed to only add a comment here and there, occasionally giving a small smile. As Heero turned his attention to the unknown man, suddenly their eyes met.

The young man didn't seem surprised to catch Heero looking his way. The two continued to stare at each other longer than what seemed reasonable.

Putting some money on the bar, Heero made his way to the bathroom, expecting company. He stood at the urinal, with no intention of using it and waited. The tall young man arrived moments later, similarly stepping up to the urinal beside Heero.

Both stood a full minute unmoving, before the young man commented, "Music's good tonight."

"Yes." Heero replied.

"It would be best to leave while the night is young and things are still going well for you." The young man continued to stare straight ahead, as did Heero.

"Why would I do that?" At this point Heero expected a show of force, it's what he'd do.

Sure enough the young man made a grab for the back of Heeros' neck. Pivoting, Heero deflected his hand with his forearm.

The two stood sizing each other, then sprang apart. And in a flash they were exchanging blows, arms and legs striking out and deflecting. Heero threw a punch at the young man's head, but he dodged and Heero's punch flew past his ear to shattered the tile. The other man went to sweep his legs, Heero jumped up and used the wall to push himself back. Once he landed he had to jumped back again to avoid the next kick aimed at his midsection.

Before his opponent could finish his full revolution Heero was pushing him back against the wall and throwing his elbow at the man's face. Right before his elbow dented the man's face he dropped down and Heero's elbow connected with the paper towel dispenser denting it instead. Expecting the blow to his stomach, Heero pushed the fist aside with the palm of his hand.

As Heero retreated to regroup the door to the bathroom opened and Quatre walked in Duo standing behind him.

"Jeez, Trowa did you fall in-whoa!" Duo looked around stunned, the bathroom was a mess. Somehow they sent the trash barrel to scatter across the floor and paper from the broken paper towel dispenser was strewn everywhere.

"Oh Trowa, not again. Look he couldn't have been staring at my ass, I was sitting on it the whole time." Quatre said to Trowa placing his hands on his hips.

"He's been staring at our table all night." The man named Trowa defended.

Heero was surprised he'd noticed that early on without him realizing it.

"Hey, it's the guy!" Duo exclaimed. "I mean you're the guy."

Duo stared at Heero surprised.

"What guy?" Quatre asked.

"The guy that stopped those jerks from mugging me." Duo continued to stare.

"You see he just recognized Duo. You have to stop being so paranoid Trowa."

Trowa didn't seem convinced, but relaxed from his defensive stance.

"Why don't you join us at our table, Mr?" Quatre asked pleasantly.

"Yuy, Heero Yuy."

Together the four walked back to their table where Quatre excused himself and Trowa to discuss compensation with the club owner for the damages to the restroom. Being left alone with Duo, Heero fidgeted slightly in his chair.

"I've never seen anyone take on Trowa like that before."

Heero simply nodded, focusing his attention on a cocktail napkin.

"I was surprised when you just ran off the other day. I didn't even get to say thank you."

Heero looked into Duo's blue-violet eyes, thinking he was the sweetest person he'd ever met.

"I didn't want any fuss."

At Heero's response Duo smiled softly.

"Mr. Yuy, I hope you accept Trowa's apology." Quatre stated as the pair returned to the table. "I'm afraid he is a bit over protective of me. He used to be my personal bodyguard and still feels like he needs to look out for me."

"Heero, just call me Heero."

The blonde business man smiled and proceeded to tell Heero numerous stories of how he met Duo in college and their exploits together, much to Duo's embarrassment. As they were leaving and exchanging goodbyes Duo slipped a piece of paper into Heero's hand with his phone number written in neat handwriting.

"Don't be so shy." Duo smiled and Heero felt his heart swell.

It was difficult keeping hidden on the way back to Duo's apartment. Heero felt like he stuck out like a sore thumb. He accomplished his task and went back to his apartment.

Duo was already talking on the phone with Quatre when he arrived.

"It's not like we haven't just seen each other for four straight hours Cat." Duo chuckled his voice a little horse from speaking over the loud music in the club.

"Who cares about that, I want to talk about your guy. You gave him your phone number, right? God, tell me you gave him your phone number."

"He's not my guy Cat…and yes I gave him my number." Duo looked down at the couch cushion fidgeting a bit. "I hope he calls, he was nice."

"Nice, he was hot!" Quatre and Duo both laughed.

"Well, I'll agree with you there. Hot and gave your man a run for his money. I think Trowa's going soft." Duo smirked.

"No way! Trowa is just as lethal as he used to be." The blonde sounded indignant.

"Alright, Cat," Duo laughed. "I have to get some sleep. I'll talk to you later."

Hanging up Duo sat leaning back and looking at the ceiling, while Heero looked at him on his computer screen.

Heero stood up and paced the room. Duo needed someone to make him happy and he just wasn't confident he had the qualifications. He looked to the screen and saw Duo staring at the phone wistfully and made up his mind. Taking the piece of paper out of his pocket he dialed Duo's number.

He watched the screen as the phone rang, Duo looked at the number and frowned not recognizing it.

"Hello?" Duo answered.

"Hi." Heero stated and waited for Duo to start the conversation.

"Um, who is this?" Duo asked frowning again.

"Heero."

"Oh, hi Heero." Duo suddenly began to beam.

"I just wanted to say goodnight." Heero sat close to the screen staring at the image of the young man.

Duo gave a little chuckle. "That's sweet of you."

"…Well, goodnight," was all Heero could think of to say.

Duo laughed again. "Goodnight, Heero. Call again, even just to say hello."

"Okay."

After saying goodbye, both young men put their phones down at the same time. Heero watched as Duo continued to smile and ran his finger down the screen over his cheek. He would make this beautiful, vibrant young man happy. No matter what.
