Dong-dong......ding-dong...

Heero stood up from his couch and walked to his door. He unlocked the handle and opened the door.
“Afternoon Heero!” he nodded at the group that was standing just outside his apartment. He opened the door to allow them entry and his eyes lingered momentarily on Trowa and Quatre’s entwined fingers before he walked over to resume his position on the couch.
“Is everyone here?” Relena asked when he returned.
“What about Duo?” Quatre asked, looking around for the braided pilot. Heero would have answered, but Wufei beat him to it.
“Duo has been sent on an extended solo mission.” he said
“He what?” Heero asked.
“Yes, Really? We just saw him yesterday.” Relena said, secretly hoping that the man was gone– it strengthened her chances with Heero immensely, considering all the talk of the American pilot having secret feelings for him. She hoped that it was fasle as well, but she had learned to never underestimate the hacking specialist.
Wufei kept a straight face, betraying everything he was thinking.
“ I do not know the exact details of the situation, only Lady Une knows that, and would not explain it to me. Therefore, all I have to tell you is that Duo may not return for a long while.” he said, his voice signaling that he would not be bothered by the matter any longer.
“That’s rather uncharacteristic for even Duo Maxwell.” Relena said as if she knew him personally. Also, it didn’t sound right to her.
“I had always pegged him as a grounded person, I mean, you all mean so much to him, why would he want to leave you for a solo mission?” Quatre and Trowa, thinking the exact same thing, turned their eyes to Wufei, both secretly asking what the meaning of all of this was. He only answered them with a few quick taps of his feet.’I’ll tell you later’
“There are times where we must not ask the reasoning to a mission. We are soldiers first and foremost, therefore, we do as we are told.” he answered
“Then why wouldn’t they send Heero? I mean, he’s better on solo missions, Duo likes people.” Relena protested.
“Heero wasn’t the best choice for this mission, I suppose.” Hilde said. “ Like Wufei said, we only do what we’re told, therefore, you shouldn’t be asking about it because there isn’t anything we can tell you that we don’t already know.” She said, quieting all of the other questions that were probably going to be asked.
“Besides, Duo has changed since we were youngerm there’s nothing saying now that he hasn’t matured.” Relena snorted to herself, there was no way that the American idiot would ever grow up.
“Matured?! Hell, have you seen him without his shirt on? Definately a god.” Sally said. Noin fanned herself.
“Drop-dead gorgeous.” the girls laughed.
“While on the subject... how is your relationship with Milliardo going Lu?” Relena asked happily. She’d always thought that the two of them made such a cue couple, and Noin was good for her brother, especially to recreate the Peacecraft family. Noin blinked and looked at Relena like she was crazy.
“I haven’t spoken to Zechs in about two years... and besides... can’t have a relationship when he’s gay now can I?” she said and smirked as Relena sputtered.
‘My brother is gay?!”
“ Yes.”
“Surely you must be joking?”
“No, ma’am, Zechs is 100 Percent homosexuality.”
“ Beautiful homosexuality.” Sally said and they giggled again. Wufei rolled his eyes.
“I’m losing my fiancé to gay men...” Sally laughed and hugged Wufei.
“No you’re not, I’m just complimenting two gorgeous men that happen to be gay.”
“Oh, I forgot there was s difference...”
Suddenly, something clicked in Heero’s mind and he froze his coffee cup to his lips.
“Hilde... what about... you and Duo?’ he asked as she looked at him from her spot on the floor.
“I’ve never been in a relationship with Duo, that’s be like... like dating my older brother.”
“Your gay older brother.” Wufei added and she nodded her head vigorously. The girls laughed again.
“Duo is gay too?!” Relena and Heero asked, or rather shouted in unison. Relena secretly thanked whatever god there was out there, not, there was no way that Heero could deny her, not when Duo was gay and he was not. That must have been why he took the solo mission. And Heero, standing right next to her, was about to have an emotional overload. Here he had been thinking that Duo would always leave his heart to Hilder, spending most of his career with the girl... and Duo didn’t even like women... Could this mean that.. That Duo...
“You mean to tell me that you didn’t know Heero?” trowa asked levelly. Heero shook his head.
“But.. That’s what he came over to your apartment to tell yyou.” Quatre said.
“He said it was becuase he wanted to tell me that he wasn’t able to come to the meeting...”
There was a heavy silence that permeated through the room as the new information sunk into those who didn’t know.
“That means... he lied. Duo must have lied to you.” Quatre said, hand covering his mouth in shock.
“Poor Duo, that must be why he was so pale, he gets himself so sick when he’d forced to lie.” Sally said.
“Why would he lie to me?” Heero asked. “ I’m his best friend...”
“You really have no idea... do you Heero?” wufei asked, looking at the confused look on the other man’s face.
“Can we please refain from talking about the poor guy behind his back? He’s probably having a sneezing fit about now.” Hilde scolded.
“Yes, really, please just get down to business you two, we all have places to be.” Catherine said, sitting back down next to her brother.
Relena gave them all a hapy smile that many thought didn’t belong there.
“Heero is moving in with me!”
“He’s what! Why???”
“It’s the easiest possible way to protect her from impending harm. If I were to... pose as a partner, then no one would try to assasinate her. Or at least, that’s what Relena thinks. I agree, with me there, there would be less people to harm her.” Heero agreed. And it was right then when it clicked into Wufei’s mind, the reason Duo was sick, the reason he lied, and the reason he left. It all made sense.
“It that all?” he asked in an even more level voice that mean’t he was not pleased.
“Well.... yes... aren’t you releived? There isn’t going to be anymore need to pull you away from your other jobs.” she said as they all stood.
“Not really, but we can’t help it can we...” Quatre mumbled to Trowa who nodded his head.
“Then all of us must be going, we’ve got dinner reservations that will not wait on us.” Wufei said, the first to walk out the door, galring at Relena.
“I’m sure that, since Duo isn’t here to take his, we can call Miss Une, she’d like to come.” Catherine said. Relena watched them go and then looked at Heero.
“Aren’t you going with them?” she asked.
“I... hadn’t been invited.” he said slowly, running a hand through his hair.. He would get down to the meaning of all of this.... and he’d find out where Duo was.


Bleh, this turned out a bit shorter than I had planned, but, oh well, I did add in a few things that weren’t originally in there. And before any of you say anything, I know... I used way too much dialogue in here, and that hadn’t been intended either. Plann for more Analise and Duo in the next chapter and the conversation between Wufei and the gang. Also, we get a sneak peak at four of Duo’s team mates and a growing attraction to a certain Blond haired Lightening Count.Please R&R Minna!!!!`Tee To The Fa
