Hilde greeted Duo with her usual exuberance, as she glomped onto him and gave him a hug. She quickly released him as she noticed his pained expression. Looking at his arms, she noticed that he was guarding his stomach. “What happened?!” she exclaimed after lifting up his shirt and examining the damage. “And don’t you dare tell me you slipped and fell, because you do not get bruises like that from a fall. Who did this to you Duo?” Hilde asked, as her expression went from concerned to vengeful.
“Don’t worry about it, Hil. I’m ok now, it just hurts to touch. Let’s get going; we don’t want to be late for class.” Duo changed the subject as he began to walk towards their computer class.
“Of course I’m going to worry about it. Moreover, since when are you worried whether or not you are late for class? But, if you want to change the subject that’s fine, I can take a hint. Nevertheless, you will tell me what happened eventually, willingly or not. Do you understand?” Hilde questioned as she matched Duo’s stride.
“Yeah, yeah, I understand.” Duo opened the door to the classroom and went to his seat. Hilde followed, dropping the topic for the time being.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duo stood at his locker with Hilde and Meiran, waiting for Wufei to join up with them. English had passed with little difficulty, they’d ended up starting the unit on short stories, and the first one Une had passed out was ‘The Lottery’. She’d informed the class that they were to read it for tomorrow and to be prepared for a small quiz.
“There he is! Hey Wufei.” Meiran greeted her fiancé with a quick hug.
“Meiran, Hilde, Duo.” Wufei greeted as he stopped in front of the group. “Shall we make our way to the cafeteria?” He questioned the three.
“Actually, could we go out today? I’m not up for an encounter with Marquise today.” Duo asked as he opened up his locker to retrieve his wallet. Wufei quirked an eyebrow in curiosity but agreed nonetheless. “Great, let’s go. We can take my car.”
“I think I’ll walk, I might make it to our destination late, but at least I’ll be in one piece.” Wufei commented jokingly.
“Har har. That’s not funny and you know it.” Duo sneered at his friend as they made their way out of the school.
The four of them ended up at some small restaurant called ‘Amitier’, that none of them had tried before. They all agreed that this place would be good. As they made their way into the restaurant, Duo scanned the crowd to see if he knew anyone there. To his surprise, he spotted Heero with Quatre and Trowa sitting in a corner booth. The blond and brunette had their backs to the door, so they didn’t notice the four who’d walked in. Heero however, was facing the entrance and spotted Duo immediately, as the bell jingled to announce new customers.
The Japanese boy caught Duo’s eyes before he said a few words to his companions. Duo watched as he got up out of his seat and made his way towards the bathroom. A silent invitation for the other to follow. Duo didn’t hesitate.
“Hey guys, why don’t you pick a table, I need to use the restroom. I’ll be right back.” Hilde gave him a worried look before she nodded her head in acknowledgement. Duo smiled reassuringly before he left his three friends and walked into the men’s room.
The room only had a urinal and one stall. Against the left wall was a sink and mirror. The door had a pathetic little lock that offered minimal privacy if someone really wanted to get in. He locked it nonetheless. Heero was leaning against the counter, waiting for him. “Hey.”
“Hey, so is this where you always eat lunch?” Duo asked casually as he walked up to Heero.
Heero nodded as he met Duo half way and wrapped the braided boy in a tight hug. The pressure made Duo flinch, Heero looked at him in puzzlement. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing Heero, just a sore abdomen is all. Nothing to worry - Ouch! What did you do that for?” Duo exclaimed as he smacked Heero on the arm for poking him.
Heero arched a brow at the boy before he lifted up Duo’s shirt. A look of pure rage crossed his eyes as he took in the bruises marring Duo’s body. “Who did this? And when?” Duo was about to tell him not to worry again as he pulled his shirt down, when Heero took the shaking boy’s head in his hands and looked him in the eye. “Who Duo?” he asked in a tender concerned voice.
Sighing in defeat, Duo looked away from the questioning eyes in embarrassment. “Zechs and two other guys I didn’t see. They jumped me from behind as I was leaving work last night. Andie showed up before it could really get bad.”
“I’m going to kill him, is there any severed damage?” Heero asked as he slowly moved his hands on Duo’s torso in a comforting manner.
“Not any that I know of, I’m just sore. They sure didn’t go easy on me.” Duo sighed dejectedly. Heero lifted his shirt once again to get a better look. Going behind his boyfriend, Heero noticed that there were bruises there as well.
“I don’t want you to go to work today, nor do I want you to leave my sight, understood?”
“Heero, you can’t do anything if Zechs starts anyways. If you were to all of a sudden start protecting me, it would look suspicious. And Andie already told me that if I showed up at work, he’d kick my ass.”
“I don’t care if people get suspicious. You are more important to me. I can’t stand by and watch someone beat you up.” Heero looked Duo in the eye as he rested his forehead against Duo’s.
“Fine, fine. I’ll stay in your sight. However, it’s not as if you can protect me after school. You still have to work tonight.” Duo pointed out.
Heero snorted. “That can be easily fixed. Just a second.” Heero pulled out his phone and dial the number for his work. “Hey Bob…It’s Heero…Yeah I’m good…Hey listen, I can’t make it to work this afternoon…No I’m not sick…No it’s a family thing…” Duo’s eyes widened in surprise before he shook his head. That really shouldn‘t surprise him; they were practically family to each other. “Yeah…Ok…I’ll see you this weekend.” Heero hung up the phone and looked to Duo. “See problem solved. After you are done Drama I’ll meet you in the parking lot.”
“Heero, people will see and - “
“Duo, if you are so worried, make up an excuse. Tell them that Otto asked me to help you with math. It’s not as if they won’t believe you. The man is always talking to you and I can actually help you with you work.” Heero pointed out as he fixed Duo’s shirt slightly. He received a nod from Duo as the braided boy resigned to his fate. Heero was such a fussy boyfriend at times.
“Alright, have it your way. Oh, just out of curiosity what are we going to do with my car?”
Heero snorted. “Silly, you can still take it, I said meet me in the parking lot, not I’m going to abduct you and abandon your precious car. “ Heero replied sarcastically.
“Funny Heero, Very funny. Now if you will excuse me, Mr. Over-protective, my friends are waiting for me, and I do not need Wufei or Hilde for that matter to come barging in here. Besides, I’m hungry, so I’m going to go eat. I’ll see you in class anyways, and after drama, I won’t forget.” Duo added as he watched Heero open his mouth to remind him of their meeting time. Duo gave Heero a quick kiss before he unlocked the door and walked out.
Scanning the tables for his friends, he spotted them sitting with Quatre and Trowa. Of course, Hilde and Quatre were friends. Duo sighed as he pictured the scenario. Quatre probably saw them looking for a table and invited them to sit at his. Probably not realising that not everyone that would be sitting there liked each other. Mainly Wufei and Heero. Walking up to the small group, Duo smiled. “Hey guys, did you order yet?”
“Do we ever order without you, Duo?” Hilde asked as she waved to a waitress.
“No you don’t. So is there any room for me to sit? Or are all the seats taken?” Duo asked cheerily as he took the available seat beside Hilde. Not bothering to wait for an answer.
“Kisama.” Wufei muttered darkly as he looked over Hilde’s shoulder. Everyone turned to see what Wufei was glowering at, only to see Heero approaching the table. Wufei never did think very highly of Heero , but then again he didn’t know that the paper balls that Heero threw at Duo were actually notes and not just something to annoy the boy with.
Heero merely arched a brow as he took his original seat across from Trowa. He barely spared the others a glance as he meticulously began to eat his lunch.
The others followed suite as their lunches arrived as well. Lunch was spent in a somewhat comfortable silence. Duo sat talking with Wufei and Meiran, while Hilde talked to Quatre and Trowa. Heero listened to the two conversations in silence. Duo had managed to calm Wufei down enough so that the Chinese man would not jump across the table and maim the aforementioned boy.
