Chapter 6

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The rest of the day passed without a hitch and now Duo was waiting to take his break at work. Wednesdays were always slow at ‘Teen BoP’. Most teenagers were finishing assignments or just were not allowed out. At nine, Duo went to the back with a virgin Mary in hand and sat on a chair. A few moments’ later Heero materialized out of nowhere and tickled Duo’s neck. Thus making the boy shudder and jump.

“Miss me?” Heero asked as he took a seat beside Duo.

“No, not really.” Duo smiled jokingly. “After all it’s not like I haven’t already seen you today. You know the little paper balls are getting old. You’re losing your touch my man.” Duo winked at the Japanese boy.

Heero put on a mock pout before grinning. “Well if you want me to stop I can. I for one enjoy sending you notes in the form of paper balls.”

“Heero, that’s because you’re a sap and a hopeless romantic.” Duo shot at his boyfriend, as he offered his drink to Heero.

“Ok, I can admit to being a sap but do you really blame me. My parents practically ignore me all the time and when they are not doing that, they are arguing over me. You can’t blame me for thriving on the attention I get from you when I’m ‘sappy’, now can you? I disagree with the hopeless romantic thing though.” Heero answered with pride. Duo merely rolled his eyes and smiled lovingly. He refused to dignify that retort with an answer. Heero had just proved him right after all.

Once his twenty-minute break was over, Heero wished Duo goodnight and left the braided boy to go back to work. His boss, Andie, didn’t mind that Duo took longer breaks then he was supposed to. Nor that Heero was always in the back with Duo on the kid’s breaks. The fact that only employees were supposed to be in the back seemed to slide when it came to Duo. The older man suspected that they were involved, but didn’t really care either way as long as it didn’t affect Duo’s work. The kid worked hard after all.

At eleven, Duo wished Andie a goodnight and made his way to the back parking lot to his car. As he approached the vehicle, he noticed someone was leaning against it. Before he could voice any questions though, he was grabbed from behind and restrained.

“Good evening Maxwell. How are you this fine night?” a familiar voice asked as the person that was leaning against his car approached them.

“Marquises, what do you want now. What happened? Run out of better things to do. Or is this going to be your new hobby?” Duo questioned, testing the grip of those holding him. The hands tightened around his arms. Shit, they were strong.

“You are in no position to be sarcastic, Maxwell.” Zechs replied snidely. “I told you that I would get you back for your attitude.” The blonde man took Duo’s chin in his hand.

Duo snarled as he jerked his head out of Zechs grip. “Get over yourself Zechs. Your ‘all mightier than thou’ attitude is really getting old.”

*smack*

Duo’s head reeled to the left, his cheek stinging. “You’ll do good to watch what you say fag.” One of the guys holding him commented.

“This is going to be fun.” The third boy commented. Duo got a jab in his stomach and kidneys as the three began to beat on him. They hit him everywhere, on his back and abdomen. Duo wanted to die at that moment. Thinking that the pain would never end, Duo was surprised when suddenly he was dropped to the ground. Relief flooded over him as he curled into fetal position.

“Duo? Duo!” Andie shouted as he ran towards the fallen boy. “Are you alright? Oh god Duo, you need to get to a hospital.”

“No.” The braided boy chocked out between gasps of pain. “I’m going to be alright. Just help me up Andie.” The older man gave Duo a worried look before he stretched out his hand to him. “It’s nothing a little rest won’t cure. Don’t worry so much.” Duo attempted to grin but failed as a wave of pain over took him. Stopping himself from doubling over for it, Duo leaned against his car.

“You are taking tomorrow off Duo. I don’t want to see your face in here tomorrow at all. You got that?” Andie instructed. “And no buts, I’ll get someone to cover your shift. I want you to get better. I’ll see you on Saturday and no earlier.”

Duo nodded in defeat. There was absolutely no point in arguing with the man. Duo said goodbye as he got into his car. Waving one last time to his boss, Duo drove home.

When he arrived home, Duo noticed that Helen was asleep. So instead of waking her up, he went straight to bed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning Duo woke up to agonizing pain. He hadn’t slept well at all because of his injuries, and he was glad that Andie had given him the day off.

“Duo!” His name being shouted was the only warning that he got as Solo jumped onto his abdomen. Trying to hide a grimace, Duo grinned at his half brother.

“Heya kiddo, good morning to you, too.”

“Are you hurt Duo?” Solo asked as he poked Duo in the side. The teenager couldn’t hide the grimace of pain this time. “You are hurt. Let me see.” With that, the boy lifted up Duo’s T-shirt to reveal a black and blue mid section. “What happened Duo? How did you get those bruises? Did someone hit you? ‘Cause if they did, I’m going to beat them up.”

“Don’t worry about it Solo. It’s not as bad as it looks. Moreover, you have to promise not to tell anyone. Got it?” Solo gave him a worried look before agreeing.” Now get out so I can get ready for school.”

Solo grinned before running out of the room, slamming the bedroom door on his way out. Duo shook his head as he walked into the adjoining bathroom to take a shower.

Stripping fully, he grimaced as he examined himself in the mirror. his entire front and sides were covered with dark purple blotches. The bruises went lower to where Solo hadn’t seen because of his boxers. They had gotten him good last night. He hadn’t lied when he told Solo that it wasn’t as bad as it looked. It hurt like hell yes, but the bruises were a lot worse than the pain itself.

Sighing, he turned away from the mirror and got into the shower. Letting the soothing heat over take him, he let the water wash away his worries for the time being.

After his shower, he got dressed and made his way to the kitchen to grab something to eat. Once he’d eaten, he wished Helen and Solo a goody day, and made his way to school. Leaving later than usual to avoid Zech’s morning harassments.
