She was at it again. Bitching about some stupid thing I had said this morning. I mean I already had apologized to her several times today and she just won't give it up. I have much better things to do then spend my time on the phone apologizing.
“I said I was sorry!” That starts her on a whole new bitching session. I take a quick look at my best friend. He looked beautiful, as usual. His hair in a loose braid. His cloths incredibly tight cloths that left nothing to my imagination.
We were suppose to be working on homework like we do every couple of days. Its the only time we get to spend together since I had started dating Relena. Lately it seems that we are getting further and further apart. I will admit that it is partially my fault. I needed the distance to hide my feelings from him and went as far as to begin dating the women that is completely ruining my relationship with my best friend. Still I keep on dating her, hoping to get over my love for my best friend.
She had stopped her ranting to let me know she had to get off. Her brother needed the phone. I said a quick goodbye, glad that I no longer had to listen to her, and hung up. I look at him as soon as do. He is standing there looking like he is getting ready to leave.
“Your leaving?” I ask, frowning. He sighed and nodded, making me feel worse as our precious time yet again consumed by a girl I couldn't even stand. He wasn't even looking at me.“Why? We didn't get any thing done yet.” Thats a lie. I saw him doing the work while I was on the phone, but I wanted more time with him.
“I did, while you were busy, I did it. Here you can just give me it back in the morning.” Finally he looks at me. I can tell he isn't happy and maybe its because he misses spending time with me too. He hands the work. Turning to begin copying it. I can't stand the sight of him leaving. “I will see you in the morning.” With that he leaves my room. To return to an empty house. His house use to be so filled with laughter. I open my window, hoping to hear the music that I know will be blasting to drown out the never ending quietness that has been surrounding the house ever since I started dating the head cheerleader.
It only took a minute before the music started. Music had always been Duo's escape. I haven't heard this music in a long time. Every time I try to listen to it she bitches or changes it to some thing more her taste. God I hate how she is trying to change me to suit her needs. Some days I just want to end things with her. To tell her it's over and never deal with her again. I won't though, she knows I am in love with him, she knows that I would do anything to stop her from telling him what a repulsive best friend I am. I can't risk that, I can't risk losing him permanently. Its better if he doesn't know, I would rather be his best friend forever, than to lose him because I couldn't get over my love for him.
When I finish copying his work I pack all my school things away and lay down on my bed. Continuing to listen to the music from the house next door. I miss him so much, I don't know how much longer I can go with out telling him how I feel.
I have a game tomorrow. If we win I will break up with her and tell him. Decision made I close my eyes and fall a sleep.
The next morning I woke up. It was fairly late in the morning which is unusual for me but not necessarily unwelcome. But sadly I have to get up and ready. The team is have a quick warm up session before the game and I need to pick up Relena so the cheer leaders can get their warm up in too before the game starts.
I use to take Duo but it seems lately that he has other mean to get there and I hate making him wait. Well at least I hope he has other means. I would hate for him to be taking the bus this whole time. Then again Relena would throw a fit if I gave him a ride too. She can't seem to stand him. Still even after I stopped giving him a ride to the field he still makes to every game so I guess thats what really counts.
When I pick Relena up, she is once again bitching about that comment I made. Honestly I don't even remember what I said. I guess I have to apologize again.
“Relena, I said I was sorry.” She smiles at me with a sickeningly sweet smile.
“I know Heero. I don't blame you for it. You just have been spending too much time with that geek Duo.” I sigh, if I defended my friend it would start a whole new fight and I just don't want to deal with that right now. I let her ramble on for the rest of the ride. Tunning her out within the first few words.
Practice was an easy going affair. No one wanted to strain themselves before a game. The cheerleaders going through the routine they had planned for this game, before sitting a watch as we finish our warm up.
Before the game started I looked for Duo in the stands. My ritual that I preformed at every game. He was seated alone. He was wearing the shirt that was always my favorite. It matched his eyes so perfectly. I wonder if her ever sits with anyone. Now that I think back, I don't think he has ever sat with anyone. I will have to think about that later. I got a game to play.
We won, not really all the surprising. I guess I was hoping that even with me doing my best we would lose, well at least part of me was hoping. Now all I need is the perfect time to break up with Relena and to tell Duo that I love him. Easier said then done.
Sighing I look for Duo in the crowd of people leaving the stands and its not surprising I don't find him. Well there will be plenty of time to talk to him this weekend. Its not like I have any plans.
I drop Relena off at home after the dinner outing we had with the team to celebrate the win. I don't even mention the fact that I saw her flirting with at least three other members of the team during the game. I really couldn't care less at this point. Hopefully in a few days I will be rid of the bitchy woman.
When I get home, I greeted my parents before heading to my room. My window was still open and I could still hear the music still playing from Duo's house. I smile as the music lures me to sleep.
My plans for the next day were in complete ruins when Relena showed up out of nowhere to drag me out and about with her. After spending the day fallowing her around as she did this, gave me even more incentive to break up with her. I could spend my day doing better things than fallowing her around. I didn't even get the chance to break up with her.
Well if I don't get the chance to do it before the next game than I am going to right after no matter what. And then I am going to go to Duo's house and tell him I love him. Maybe tomorrow I will actually get time to talk to him at school.
With thoughts of my best friend floating around in my head. I fall asleep, dreaming dreams of love returned.
Monday mornings are always the worst. I like school, really I do, but Mondays are the one day a week that should be added to the week end just so I don't have to get up.
On the up side Relena was late to school so I got to spend some time with Duo. God I had missed him. We ended up late to class. Laughing like old times and generally enjoying each others company. Sadly every time I had tried to talk to him the rest of the day Relena always intercepted. I can't wait to be rid of her.
After school I spent my time doing my chores and home work. I wanted everything to be done so I can just enjoy my time with Duo. I had shut off my phone so I wouldn't have to deal with Relena during my time with Duo.
Sadly, while waiting on my bed I had fallen asleep. When I had awoken it was after one in the morning. Duo hadn't shown. He always shows up. Maybe he had forgotten. He has seemed like he has a lot of things on his mind lately.
Well I will just talk to him tomorrow after the game and after I break up with the bitch. Plan set in place I go back to sleep.
The day passed in a blur. I didn't get the chance to talk to Duo. Not that, that was surprising. I think Relena knows I am going to break up with her. She has been even more clingy. Not that will make any difference.
I was a little thrown off when I looked for Duo but didn't see him at the game. But then again it was an important game and I could have just missed him in the massive amount of people at the game.
This game was no different than the previous game. We had won and by a land slide. As soon as we were out of uniform and the stadium was empty I pulled Relena off to the side.
“Its over.” I stated as plainly as I could. She gave me an odd look before replying.
“Whats over? The game? Of course the game is over.” I shook my head, now she is just being stupid. I am going to break up with her either way I don't know why she is delaying the inevitable.
“We are over.”
“Oh no we are not. If you do I will tell your little geeky friend that you are in love with him. Then I will tell the entire team your a fag.” She looked smug as she spoke. I smiled.
“Go ahead.” I caught a quick look at her face, she looked surprised mixed with pissed, before turning away from her and walking away.
Finally I was free of her and hopefully I will be with the one I love. I speed all the way home. Quickly parking my car in the drive way before taking off in to Duo's house. I frantically called and looked for him. After establishing that he wasn't home I decided to just wait in his room.
At first nothing seemed out of place. His room was a little clearer than I remembered but still not all that unusual for him. It was the note on his desk that caught my attention.
I quickly skimmed it before reading it in its entirety. I was short only a few sentences. Giving away nothing of were he was going just stating that he wasn't coming back.
I will admit that lost time for a moment. Completely heart broken that the one person that I love above everything else was gone. He had left me behind. It took me a few minutes before I got myself under control.
I was going to find him. I knew him better than he knew himself. I would find him and I would tell him that I loved him. Then I would bring him home and never let him go again.
When we were you we use to talk about all the places we had wanted live when we got older. His favorite place being a small little town in New Hampshire. He had visited on one of the few family vacations his family had gone on and fell in love with the area.
I looked at my watch will pulling out my phone to call the airport. If I was lucky I would be able to get to him before his flight left.
The drive to the airport and running through the said airport is a blur. But when I saw him, handing his ticket to the flight attendant, taking one last look around before turning to board the airplane.
“Duo!” I shouted hoping he would stop. He did stop for a moment. Not moving until he slowly turned around. He stared at me in surprise. “Duo!” I shouted again and he slowly began to walk toward me. Once he was standing in front of me I whispered. “Duo.”
He replied with a quiet. “Heero...”
“I love you.” I said just as quietly. His eyes filled with tears.
“Really?” He asked. I nodded and he gave me one of the most beautiful smiles to ever been seen in this world. “I love you too.” I kissed him. It was soft and gentle. It was everything a kiss was suppose to be and I knew that I would never be with out him in my life again. That know matter the hardship we would be together.
