Chapter 3
Hilde didn't really know what to think of Heero. True, she wanted to get back at Duo, but was going through Heero to do it the right choice? That night at the banquet was the first time she had actually met Heero, but he seemed to be a decent guy. He was extremely militant, and under any other circumstances she would have steered clear of his kind at all cost, but Duo thought the world of him. She was sure he was a good person under the layers and layers and layers of armor he had put up over the years. After all, he was handsome enough to compensate for his lacking conversational skills. And, on the upside, soldier boys always have insane bodies.
When Hilde called Heero about going out, she wasn't completely sure what her game plan was but she figured she could come up with a plan later. It was almost time for Heero to arrive; however, and she still had no idea what she was going to do with him.
Holding a makeup brush in her hand she applied a very light shade of pink eye shadow over her eye lids and then a bit of lip gloss to her lips. Duo never liked her to wear makeup. He said it made women look like a Care Bear puked on their face. Duo was no longer a priority, however.
Heero had informed her that there was a function that he was required to attend. She hated having to go to another one of the stuffy political dinners but she inwardly hoped that Duo would be there. It was time to make him pay.
Duo POV
He finally broke it off with her. He just couldn't understand how someone so beautiful on the outside could be so ugly on the inside. From the smile that she flashed everyone to the hair on her head, it was all fake. He never wanted to give into her, but the princess always got what she wanted.
Duo knew his playboy ways were wrong. He hated himself for it. It was just that he had so many wild oats to sew, but he loved Hilde too much to ever give her up. It made him sick sometimes to think how selfish he was, but he just couldn't control himself. Thank goodness he had Heero. Sometimes he felt bad for dumping his problems on his buddy, but he figured he wasn't ever listening anyway. Heero was a good guy. He just wished he could find someone like Hilde, too. His friend really needed a love life. Some sick part of him even felt like he was doing Heero a favor by sharing the details of his personal life with him. After all, he needed a little spice in his life; even if it wasn't his own.
The night before something had snapped in Duo. He wanted it all to stop. He wanted to be a one woman man. He wanted to stop being a friend with baggage. He wanted to stop the sneaking around. And most importantly he wanted to get away from Relena.
It wasn't easy breaking up with her. Despite what people thought she could be quit nasty. She cursed. She clawed. But what hurt was that she threatened to tell Hilde about them. He lost it then. He couldn't even remember what he told her, but it wasn't nice. That night he left her in tears. It made him feel terrible, but he had to put it past him. He figured that by having Heero bring Hilde he would be safe. Heero knew what Relena was capable of and wouldn't let her get any where near Hilde. Good ole Heero. He knew Heero would have his back.
