Chapter 5: We made a bet…
In the security viewing room, Heero was making last minute
surveillance checks before getting ready for the once a year event. He also
made sure that Quatre and Trowa had their Preventers id. He knew that they
would be in attendance as well as WuFei and made sure that all of them were
fitted with their badges and weapons.
“Heero, where’s Relena?” Quatre wondered.
“She’s probably in her office. She needed to look over
some proposals from one of the colonies and talk with Zechs about something.”
“Zechs and Noin
are here?” Quatre asked.
“Hai.” Heero lead the small group into an adjoining room.
The contents inside the room were nothing short of
astounding. A huge half arc mahogany desk with a reclining office chair was
positioned toward the south end of the room. The desk held all of the
essentials for the perfect soldier: telephone, stationary computer, laptop,
paperwork, and coffee mug.
In front of the desk was a wall filled with multi-screen
televisions. The sets all displayed something different. Four of the screens
showed Relena in her office talking on the phone. Right below that another four
screens showed the ballroom. The screens pretty much showed the viewer parts
inside the estate as well as the grounds.
The room was also equipped with sofa and matching love
seat as well as an easy chair. A throw rug and 36’’ color television made-up
the ‘living room’. In addition to a full size bathroom, full size bed, and
closet. The apartment like room was completed with a small kitchen with a
four-place dinette.
Quatre notice the picture frames
on Heero’s desk but remained quiet. He stepped a little closer to it and saw
two snap shots. He remembers that day when Sally took those pictures.
All of the pilots were standing next to each other. Like
always Quatre was standing next to Trowa with their backs toward each other,
and Duo had his arm draped over the ever stoic Heero, who merely had his arms
crossed over his chest while WuFei crouched in front of them.
A few months after the first picture was taken Sally and
WuFei got married, which led up to the second snap
shot.
oOo Flashback
oOo
The wedding
reception was coming to an end, the Bride and Groom already had departed the
scene, and that only left the guests and the wedding party. Dressed in black
tuxedos, crisp white dress shirts, and matching emerald green ties and
cummerbunds the four ex-pilots looked stunning to say the least.
Heero sat at the reserved table for the wedding
group while he watched his best friend move around the dance floor with ease.
He couldn’t help but look at all the girls and some guys trying still to get
the beautiful groomsman to dance with them.
He also noticed that
Quatre and Trowa reserved dances for each other only. Everyone there knew that
they were a couple now since the war was finally over, but he couldn’t help but
think about the American who haunted him almost every waking moment.
At times he couldn’t
sleep or eat or work on his laptop, that the longhaired youth despised with a
passion, but still something about Duo made him want to stick close to the
braided youth.
After a hard day of work Heero
would sit in his quiet apartment thinking about the energetic Deathscythe Hell
pilot.
Then it had dawned
on him that he was in love Duo. The loud mouth baka had somehow managed to chip
away all the training that Doctor J instilled into him. Duo saw past the
soldier and found a caring loving boy underneath. The violet eyed youth never
asked for anything in return but his friendship, but Heero knew deep down that
Duo loved him. Tonight Heero was going show Duo just how much he loved him
back.
From the dance floor,
Duo glanced a quick look at Heero who was talking to
the photographer. His curiosity getting the better of him he decided to check
it out. “Hey, Heero.”
Sitting down next to
him, Duo gulped some champagne. Normally, Heero cobalt eyes usually held an icy
edge to them when he looked at people but for Duo they held something else and
it was making him nervous.
“Duo.”
He looked at Heero. His
face was on fire when Heero said his name. The former Wing pilot laced it with
so much passion that Duo’s lower body parts were beginning to ache.
“Y-yes.”
“Please come with
me. I like to show you something.” Heero stood and held out his hand patiently
waiting for Duo to grab on. Duo studied his face a little trying to see what
was going on but the look only said ‘take my hand’.
Heero guided Duo out of the main dining hall onto
the balcony. A slight breeze played with their bangs while Duo’s heart felt
like it was going to leap out of his chest. He knew it had to be something
important for Heero drag him all the way out of the thick of things away from
everyone.
“Duo, for a long
time I knew that there was something about you that I couldn’t figure out.”
Heero started looking into the swirling pool of blue-violets.
“I always felt that
you were a danger to the missions and needed to be eliminated but for whatever
the reasons I could never bring myself to kill you.
Then I realized that
you touched a part of me that has been lost for so long that I thought I would
never gain it back. You gave me a purpose to live. You gave me your heart
without me realizing it. You became my friend.”
Duo was almost on
the verge of crying he never heard Heero talk this much outside of missions.
Duo learned a long time ago the minimal word assassin only conversed with him
when they were alone. He knew what was coming but he held his breath, sometimes
Heero was almost unpredictable. Almost.
The butterflies in
his stomach were making him lose reality because he didn’t see the others
gathering around the double glass doors. He definitely didn’t see the cameraman
recording the whole scene. Nor did he see the flash photographer, but he did
see the shining band of gold as Heero held onto his hand and said, “Duo, I want
to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?”
Blink, blink
This was the first
time that anyone was able to shock the talkative boy speechless. Tears coarse
down his heart shaped face making his eyes seem brighter than usual. His free
hand reached out and touched Heero’s cheek tenderly and quietly whispered,
‘yes’.
Flash
They turned to see
everyone watching, but they didn’t care. Heero slowly slipped the band on Duo’s
slender ring finger. The crowd cheered, wishing them well and happiness for a
bright future together.
The former Sandrock pilot leaned into his partner and whispered, “You
know Trowa, it’s about damn time that those two got
together.”
Emerald eyes
sparkled with delight at that revelation. “I know my love. And just as soon as
WuFei gets back from his honeymoon he owes me big.”
Aqura marine orbs looked into the mischievous
face of his lover.
“We made a bet to
see if Yuy would proposed or not. He said that he wouldn’t and I said that he
would.” Trowa’s smile broadens even more.
“That must have been
a lot of money,” Quatre ventured.
“More than you’ll
ever know, little one.”
oOo End
Flashback oOo
The picture captured Heero and Duo staring endlessly into
each other eyes. The moment was perfect. However, their happiness was anything
but that. In a matter of less than two years Relena had managed to blackmail
Une into getting Heero to become her personal bodyguard.
Right after that Duo quit the team. He was becoming more
withdrawn from people he was talking less and would seldom smile. Worse of all
his eyes showed every depth of his misery the once luminous violets were now
dull and lifeless. His eyes were always red from crying and dark circles
appeared under them from the lack of sleep.
A knock at the door brought Quatre back to the
office/bedroom. A dark haired gentleman stepped in.
“Hello, WuFei,” the Arabian
beamed.
“Winner. Barton. Yuy. I see that we are here for a good reason,” the Chinese
boy commented.
“No. I just want to make sure that everything runs
smoothly tonight.”
“Always on top of things, Yuy. By
the way does anyone know about the band?” the dark eyed youth asked.
That comment piqued the perfect soldier's interest. “No.”
Heero’s back was facing Quatre.
The blonde took the opportunity to gesture to the former Altron pilot not to
mention the band.
“Well, Chang I’m waiting.” Heero
had his arms at his sides - his normal stance when wanting to pull out his gun.
“Nothing much, but I’ve seen them in concern once or twice.
They’re a really good band.”
Thank you Allah, Quatre
prayed silently.
“Relena picked them. I have no
interest in her choice of music. I’ve giving Trowa the mission specs. You three
can discuss it over lunch. I need to do one last sweep of the ballroom and the
surrounding area after that I’m meeting Relena for lunch. I’ll see you guys
then.”
The soldier left them in his room. A sigh of relief spread
through them. Turning his attention on the nervous blonde WuFei said, “Okay,
Winner what’s going-on?”
oOoOoOo
The longhaired American sat in his room casually sipping a
can of beer actually it was his fifth can. He wasn’t even feeling a buzz, but
because of his high resistance to drugs and alcohol from all the training and
experiments by Doctor G it would take a lot more for him to even get a headache.
Lost in thoughts on how Sean managed to get him here. He
knew that he made all the right arguments about not coming to this dreadful
place but he obviously was no match against the tall singer, who just so happens
to be the son of a prominent defense lawyer.
His thoughts were interrupted when…
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK
Too agitated by the disturbance he forgot that he didn’t
what anyone to know that he was here especially the hostess. He merely said,
“It’s opened.”
Not turning around from his view of the glorious Sanc
Kingdom he heard, “Hello, Scythe,
or should I say, Mr. Maxwell.”
That voice. No, it couldn’t be! Duo
whipped around and came face to face with none other than, “Dorothy Catalonia.”
oOoOoOo
A/N: How’s that for a cliffhanger. Yeah, I know I’m evil,
but hey I have to do something to keep you interested, right?
Let me know how the story is going.
