Rivals Part 10

By Aya

~East Side Apartment Complex ~

Heero ran his fingers through the silky stands of Duo's hair as he gazed at the boy's sleeping face. For some reason Heero was not tired even though his body was weary and sore from the fight and from the very recent lovemaking. A violet eye popped open and Duo smirked at him. "Are you going to watch me for the rest of the night or are you going get some rest yourself?"

"Hm, I think I'll watch you."

Before Duo could say anything else, he heard keys jingling and voices outside of the apartment door. Both of his eyes widened in horror and he bolted upright. "My brother's home! Shit Heero you have to go!" Duo hissed, jumping up quickly and trying to shimmy into his boxers.

The Japanese boy raised an eyebrow but stood up, searching for his jeans. "What's the worse he can do? Didn't you say he was bi himself?"

Duo waved the question off and began looking for the rest of Heero's missing clothes hurriedly, keeping an eye on the door. "Fuck he was supposed to be gone all weekend!"

Heero grunted and zipped his jeans, looking unconcerned about dealing with Duo's older brother. "Why don't you just -- " His sentence was cut off by Duo tripping over a sneaker and falling backwards on the bed - successfully hitting his head on the frame. Fighting a smirk, Heero leaned over to help his small lover up. "Are you oka--"

"Duo what the hell was that?" A voice demanded from outside the door. Before anyone could answer, Solo and Wufei burst into the small room.

Silence.

All Solo saw was his enemy leaning over his half naked brother who was obviously in pain.. And he saw red. Without a moment's hesitation he whipped out his gun and pointed it at the Oz leader's head. "Get the fuck away from my brother."

Prussian blue eyes widened incredulously and Heero looked wildly from Duo to Solo. "B..Brother?" He spat out the word as if it were poison.

"Solo stop! It's not what you think!" Duo said desperately, as he stood up shakily. "Heero wasn't hurting me.. We were.. I.." His sentence trailed off as he noticed that three sets of outraged eyes were glaring at him.

Suddenly taking advantage of Solo's distraction, Heero grabbed his gun from where it had been lying on the floor and aimed it at Wufei. "Back off or I will blow his fucking brains out." He said flatly.

Duo's eyes widened and he looked from each boy. "What is going on!? Why are you doing this Heero?" He demanded.

Heero ignored him.

Solo answered. "You little idiot! How the fuck could you screw Heero Yuy? You fucking betrayed me Duo!"

"Solo, he doesn't know." Wufei put in calmly.

"I don't know what?!" Duo screamed in frustration, tears welling in those distressed amethyst eyes.

"Heero is the leader of Oz." the Chinese boy answered slowly.

A muscle in Heero's jaw ticked but otherwise he remained silent, keeping his gun trained on Wufei, ignoring Duo and the gun Solo was pointing at his head.

"..no.. He can't be.." Duo whispered, tears falling freely now.

"You fucking idiot!" Solo screamed suddenly and smacked the longhaired boy in the face. Duo fell backwards and looked dazedly up at his brother. Once again Heero took advantage of the situation and quickly knocked Wufei out, hitting him squarely in the head with the butt of his gun. The boy collapsed into an unconscious heap, much to the dismay of Solo.

The taller man lunged at Heero, knocking both him and the gun to the floor. "You fucking bastard! You used my little brother to get at me didn't you?!" He shouted, slamming Heero against the floor roughly. The Japanese boy just glared at him silently. "Didn't you?!" Solo screamed again, this time shoving his magnum into Heero's face.

"If you're going to kill me, just do it and quit stalling." Heero said coldly.

"Don't worry, I will." Everything seemed to go in slow motion as Solo cocked the gun. Just as he pulled the trigger, Duo shoved his brother off of Heero; the bullet hitting the mirror behind them. "If you kill him, kill me too."

Solo gaped at him incredulously. "Duo, get out of the way." He said from between clenched teeth.

Heero looked at Duo in amazement but he quickly schooled his features back into the dark scowl.

"No. I love him and he loves me. If you kill him.. I will kill myself. So put down the gun unless you want one dead brother." Duo said tearfully.

"This is not a fucking game Duo! This is not a movie.. Get the fuck out of the way!" Solo snarled angrily, training his gun on Heero again.

"PUT DOWN THE GUN UNLESS YOU WANT ONE DEAD BROTHER!" Duo shrieked miserably. Tears were falling freely from his eyes now.. Blurring his vision.

His brother stared at him stubbornly for several moments. The look of fury in his eyes was almost too much to bear. "I will never forget that you did this to me Duo. Fucking never." Solo hissed.. Dropping the gun to the floor.

Heero picked up his own gun and scrambled to his feet. He knew what he should do; he knew what he was supposed to do. Get revenge for Treize.. Kill the enemy.. Kill the guy who shot his best and only friend. But then Heero looked into Duo's anguished amethyst orbs and he saw unconditional love and betrayal. He saw those things and he knew he was the cause of it, but then again Duo hadn't been honest with him either. Suddenly it was all too much for him, betray his family.. Oz.. And not take out the man who killed their leader.. Or take out his lover's brother. It was all too much and suddenly it felt like the room was closing in on him. Heero tore out of the apartment, half-naked, bruised and clutching his gun for dear life. He ignored the footsteps that he heard running after him and hurried down the stairs quickly. He had to get out, had to get away. Had to get away from Duo. Finally Heero was outside of the apartment building and he had never felt so free.

"How could you?!"

The Japanese boy stopped. He vaguely noticed that it was drizzling and remembered that he never had put on his shirt.

"How could you not tell me who you were!?"

Heero spun around and glared at Duo. "Me? How could I? How could you not tell me that your over protective brother was the same guy who has been trying to kill my ass for years? How could you lie to me like that?"

Duo's mouth dropped open and he managed to look horrified and indignant all at the same time. "Why would I tell you that? You are dating me, not my brother! You are supposed to love me! Why should it matter who my brother is? How the hell would I bring that up anyway? What would be the purpose when it does not effect our relationship at all?"

"Doesn't effect our.. yea ok Duo. The fucking guy had a gun to my head and you are saying that he doesn't effect our relationship." Heero scoffed.

The smaller boy shivered and hoped that the rain masked his tears. "You are the one who wants my brother dead! It's you and your stupid gang that is always starting fights! Why can't you just squash this once and for all?" Duo yelled angrily.

"He killed Treize! You expect me to let that slide? He killed the only family I ever knew! He has to fucking pay!" Heero shouted back. He grabbed Duo by the shoulders and shook him roughly. "Don't you get it? It's about family baby... you would do the same thing if someone capped Solo."

"You know what.. You're right." Duo whispered tearfully. "I would kill for revenge. And I would also kill to defend my family. Do you think Solo is any different? Do you think he would stand by and do nothing while I got raped?"

Heero stared at him, not comprehending. Then it dawned on him and he dropped Duo, letting the boxer clad teenager fall to the wet ground. "You lie." He spat. "Treize wouldn't.."

"He did. He thought I would make a fun toy, so he tried to rape me. Solo shot him to defend me. He killed him.. to save me. Tell me you wouldn't do the same." Duo demanded.

The dark haired boy shook his head, not accepting this. "No.. no.. I don't fucking believe you."

"You don't -- do you actually think I would lie to you Heero?!"

Heero smirked. "You have before."

"I did not! You fucking hypocrite! You are the one who declined to tell me that you are the goddamn head of OZ. I could have been shot or something while I was gallivanting all around with you! But did you think about that for one minute? No! I am risking my brother throwing me out and fucking hating me for you and this is what I get?!" Duo shouted angrily. "Treize saw me when I was at the park one night. I was walking home and he followed me! He tried to rape me in the parking lot of this very fucking building! My brother shot him to protect me! He didn't even mean to kill him! They had been fighting over the gun and well you get it. It's the truth!"

Heero turned around. "It would be best if you left me alone." He said softly.

"Tell me you don't love me Heero. Tell me and then I will leave you alone." Duo rasped out, wiping a hand roughly across his tear-streaked face.

Heero remained stubbornly silent, keeping his back to Duo the entire time. "Just go away." He said coldly.

"You can't say it can you? Because you do love me and even though you and my brother want to kill each other over a stupid fucking feud, I love you too."

Heero clenched his hands into fists. "You don't know anything Maxwell. I could have just told you I loved you so that I could keep fucking you." He lied miserably.

Duo blanched but held his ground. "If that's true then why didn't you just kill my brother just now when you had the chance?"

The Japanese boy scowled. "I'm not getting into this with you. Just leave me alone." He took off down the street before Duo could get in another word.

The violet-eyed boy stood there dejectedly as the rains started to come down harder. He shivered violently and started to make his way back in to the building. "This is so wrong.. " Duo whispered to himself and ran inside. He had been so lost in thought that he didn't notice the figure leaning against the wall.

Milliardo narrowed his eyes as the boy ran into the building. "So Yuy has been fucking Solo's brother. How interesting. I knew that little bastard couldn't handle this and now it's my turn to take control." The blond man smirked evilly and walked to his car - heading for the OZ hide out."

~ Warumono Projects. Trowa's Apartment ~

"Can you believe that Quatre knew the entire time?" Trowa muttered angrily as he downed a bottle of Corona.

Heero glared at the wall. "I can't believe this shit.. They're both liars."

The green-eyed boy raised an eyebrow at his friend. "Well now you weren't exactly honest yourself Heero. Besides Duo didn't even know what was up, Quatre did but I guess he was trying to protect Duo."

Heero shrugged noncommittally. "I guess so."

Trowa sighed and leaned back in to the over stuffed green couch. "I still can't believe you said all that stuff to him Heero. I mean the kid didn't know.. You shouldn't take it out on him."

"He could have told me who his brother is."

"And you could have told him who you are. You know you love him Heero, you might as well admit it and stop being so stupid."

Heero glared at his friend. "Why don't you shut up?"

"Well it's true man. I mean I haven't seen you this gaga over someone since.. since.. Well since never. I can't see you throwing it all away because of this shit."

Heero made a "hmm" sound and grabbed a beer from the cooler that was sitting between them. "Do you think what he said about Treize is true?"

Trowa was silent for a few moments before saying: "Heero, I know you loved Treize like a brother and that he looked out for you and everything.. But the man was a sicko." He said flatly. "I don't know how or why you never knew.. But he was a rapist. And if he had actual relationships with people he would do all this weird shit to them until they got scared off and tried to run far away."

Heero's eyes widened but otherwise he said nothing. They sat in silence for awhile until finally Heero sighed. "So what do you think I should do about Duo?"

The Latin boy shrugged. "I dunno. I'm smart but I don't have all the damn answers."

Heero snorted.

The phone started to ring and Trowa picked himself up to answer it. After a couple of minutes on the phone, he hung up and frowned. "We have to go. Milliardo is starting shit again."

The blue eyed boy groaned and stood up. "Fine. But after this you help me figure out what to do about Duo."

Trowa smirked but nodded and they walked out of the small apartment.
