Thanks for being so patient everyone!!!!

Chapter 9

Heero drove silently to the recording studio while Duo was busy calling the rest of band. He gave Duo a sideways glance every few minutes and wondered just how lucky he was. He was still in disbelief that Duo agreed to go out with him and he had a perfect idea for their first official date.

“Hey, Heero, what do you think about sending in an audition tape to Starlight Records by the end the next month?” Duo asked but soon realized that Heero was not paying any attention to his words, yet he was paying plenty of attention to his body.

“What? Oh yeah. If we can come up with something that soon.”

“I already have a song in mind I just have to get you and the other guys to like it first.”

“Why wouldn't we like it?”

“Well, it's kind of…depressing?” Duo lowered his head in embarrassment. He didn't want Heero to think he was some whiny melancholy suicidal emo wanabe.

“Considering, the songs I've heard so far, I'd say that that's your style. It's not a bad thing to write depressing melancholy songs. Especially songs that come from your own life.” Heero grabbed Duo's hand reassuringly and gave is a squeeze.

“Your right, I'm just thinking too much again I guess. By the way, how are we going to mention our relationship to the other guys?”

“Well, considering that you've known them longer it might be best if you told them. Not to put any pressure on you or anything.”

“Sounds logical to me.”

They arrived at the studio to find the other members of the band already there. They walked through the door and were greeted by Asato, who like always had food in his possession.

“Hey Duo what…” Asato stopped his words as he saw Heero and Duo with hands locked together in an unmistakable show of affection.

“Well it's about damn time Maxwell.” Duo turns an interesting shade of red at Asato's words and Heero looked at Duo with amusement.

“Thank, but that's not why I called everyone here. I thought we could try a new song. I think you will like it.”

“Cool, what's it called?” Asked Mike as he twirled his drumsticks aimlessly.

“It doesn't have a name yet. I thought we could all come up with one once you hear it. I guess the only way to show you is to sing it.” Duo picked up an acoustic guitar, cleared his throat and started to sing in his melodic voice while gently plucking the strings of the guitar.

“Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face.

The kind you'd find on someone that could save.

If they don't put me away, it will be a miracle.

Do you believe you're missing out?

When everything good is happening somewhere else.

But with nobody in your bed, the night's hard to get through.”

Mike started a light rhythm with the drums while Heero started a series of notes on his own guitar, and Jamie coming in to back Heero up. Soon, they were all working in sync with what Duo was already playing.

“And I will die all alone.

And when I arrive I won't know anyone.

Jesus Christ I'm alone again.

So what did you do those three days you were dead?

`Cause this problem's gonna last more thank the weekend.

Jesus Christ I'm not scared to die

I'm a little bit scared of what comes after.

Do I get the gold chariot?

Do I float through the ceiling?”

Asato decided to go to work and started recording so everyone would remember what they did. He figured the type of song that it was didn't need a bass part so he put his talent away for the time being. He heard the door opening and saw Trowa walk in. He gave a silent greeting to Asato and proceeded to lean against the door frame and listen.

“Do I divide and fall apart?

`Cause my bright is to slight to hold back all my dark.

And the ship went down at the sight of land.

And at the gates, does Thomas ask to see my hands?

I know you'll come in the night like a thief.

But I've had some time, O Lord, to hone my lying technique.

I know you think that I'm someone you can trust.

But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up.

So do you think that we could work out a sign?

So I'll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try.

I know you're coming for the people like me.

But we all got wood and nails

And we turn out hate in factories.

We all got wood and nails

And we turn out hate in factories.

We all got wood and nails

And we sleep inside of this machine.”

Duo jumps as he hears clapping from the doorway.

“That was awesome” Trowa said as he walked fully into the room.

“Shit Tro, you scared me. You really thought it was good though?” He asked nervously. He got his answer when the band started asking him all kinds of questions.

“Where did you come up with those lyrics?” Asked Mike with a huge grin on his face.

“I came up with them a few years ago; I've just recently finished the song. You guys liked it right?”

“Hell yeah we liked it. Hey Asato, did you manage to record that.” Asked Jamie with an enthusiastic smile.

“Sure did. All you guys have to do is come up with permanent riffs and you should be able to make a demo of that song by the end of next month.”

“Cool. I'll call Starlight Records and let them know.” Duo gave a glance to Heero and noticed his head bowed and a look of sadness on his face. Duo grabbed Heero's hand and pulled him outside of the studio.

“What's the matter baby?” Duo wrapped his arms around Heero and hugged him reassuringly.

“I'm alright; I just didn't know your song was that emotional.”

“I warned you didn't I?” Duo admonished affectionately then gave Heero a quick kiss.

“I'd like to know more about your past Duo. Because from that song I'd say it wasn't very pleasant.”

“Yeah, it wasn't.” They held each other in silence for a while and then Duo spoke up again.

“I'd be happy to tell you about my past Heero, but I'm telling you now that I don't usually tell anyone. The only people that know are the band, Trowa and Quatre. Since you're my boyfriend and part of the band I'll tell you.”

“I promise not to tell anyone else or ridicule you.”

“Thanks. But I want to tell you when we're alone either at my apartment or Quatre's house if that's ok with you.”

“It's fine. Why don't we go back inside ok?”

“Yeah, Asato's probably raided the mini fridge clean by now.” Duo gave Heero another kiss but this time a little longer than the last. They headed back into the studio hand in hand. Unknown to the two lovers, a pair of blue eyes has just seen everything that had occurred between the two.
