The Boyfriend School by Willow
Part 1
Duo listened to his girlfriend, Hilde, chatter along as he leaned back in the booth. She was rambling on about this and that, every once and a while asking him what he thought.
"So, Duo, how about we go see a movie tonight? There's a new one out called 'Tomb Raider' with Angelina Jolie... I hear it's a great movie..." [1] Hilde said without pausing for breath.
Duo turned from looking out the window and smiled at her. "Sure, Hilde, whatever." The girl beamed brightly and appeared to burble happily.
Throughout the movie Hilde would comment on certain things, like 'Lara Croft's' outfit or her choice of shoes, and she began to grow irritated by his lack of response. "Duo," she said as they walked out of the theater. "I can't help but think that you don't want to be going out with me."
Duo stopped and blinked at her. "Hilde," he began, unsure of how to respond to the accuasation. He liked the girl and was sure that in time he could grow to love her... she had that kind of charm. "I do want to go out with you... I'm sorry I'm such a bad date... I'm just, well, not good at these kinds of things..."
Hilde seemed to like his response, for a grin spread over her small features. "Oh, Duo. I understand... Hey! I heard about this school that will teach guys how to be the perfect boyfriend!" Duo looked skeptical. "Please, Duo? For me?"
---------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------
Duo sighed as he entered the building labled "Khushrenada's Finishing School for Boys"... Duo began instantly to have doubts, he liked Hilde and all, but a finishing school? All around him there were various types of guys; jocks, Ivy League-types, miscellenous boys... all here for their girls. [2]
He retrieved his room assignment from the office and headed off to get settled in.
The first thing he noticed about the room was the fact that it was in perfect order. All items in a specific place and the beds and floor tidy. Duo sighed and hoped his roommate wasn't a stickler for clean since Duo himself was a very laid-back and messy kind of guy.
"Hi," Duo said to the boy at the desk, typing away at a laptop, as he tossed his stuff onto his bed. He waited for the boy to react, reply, something, but much to his chagrin the boy just sat there. "Um, so... Your girlfriend talked you into this too?" Duo ventured.
That got the boy's attention, he swiveled the chair around to face Duo. Duo watched as intense prussian eyes leveled on him. "Talked me into it?" he repeated, his voice low and deadly. "That little bitched forced me into this.... I only agreed to it so I could get away from her ear-piercing whining."
"Oh," Duo said, surprised by the venom in the other boy's voice. "So... um, you got a name?"
"Heero Yuy."
Duo figured the young man wasn't really a talker, but hey, what the hell. "Japanese?" he asked, receiving an answering nod. "Cool. How long have you been here?"
"Do you always talk this much?" Heero asked.
Duo frowned, mildly offended. "Geeze man, I'm just trying to get acquainted! We've gotta share a room after all."
"Hn." And with that the Japanese boy turned back to his laptop, ignoring the now pouting American.
----------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
Duo was happier than ever to go to dinner. He'd spent the better part of his day being ignored and unpacking, so dinner was a welcomed break. He bounced happily into the cafeteria. He rocked back on his heels as he waited in line for food, accidentally bumping into someone. "I'm so sorry!" he said, turning around quickly. His haste sent his braid swinging and he hit the person a second time. "Oh geez! I'm such a clutz! I'm /really/ sorry!"
The blond boy rubbed his nose, then smiled at him. "It's alright, I should have watched where I was going... then none of this would have happened in the first place."
Duo rubbed the back of his head, grinning. "What a meeting... let's try this over, as if nothing's happened, ne? I'm Duo Maxwell." He stuck out a hand in offering.
"Quatre Raberba Winner," the boy said, taking the hand in a friendly shake. "So... your girlfriend coerced you into this too?"
Duo laughed. "Yeah, you could put it that way... My roommate--"
"What about me?" a nasal voice said at his ear.
Duo nearly jumped out of his skin, as it was he jumped about two feet off the floor and turned around, eyes wide. "JEEZ-US, Heero!" he clutched at his chest, as if he could still the beating of his heart. He huffed a breath, then smirked. "Quatre, this is my roommate, Heero Yuy."
"Hn," Heero grunted.
"You know, I can see why your girl would send you here," Duo told the glaring boy. "You have absolutely no social skills." The boy's glare increased in intensity reminding Duo of that old adage of putting one's foot in one's mouth. He gulped and chuckled nervously. "Uhhuh..."
Quatre blinked, looking between the two. He decided to intervene and disperse the tense air. "Hey... c'mon, the line's moving!" He pushed Duo forward and the boy eagerly piled food upon his plate.
Finally they reached a table and sat down. The two other occupants glanced at them, but continued eating. "Hi~ee!" Duo said, sitting down beside the Chinese boy. "I'm Duo, what's your name?"
The Chinese looked at him, gauging how to reply. "Wufei," he said.
Duo smiled and decided to introduce his companions. "This is Quatre," he said indicating the blond. "And Mr. Scowls-A-Lot here is Heero." This received a pointed glare from said scowling person and Duo grinned in reply. "So... Who's Silence over there?"
"......." the brown banged boy looked up at them. "You can call me Trowa," he said quietly before looking down again.
"Okies, You Can Call Me Trowa," Duo jibed amiably. "So... how'd you guys get talked into this?"
Quatre blushed. "My girlfriend thinks I'm too sensitive and need more self-confidence..."
Duo nearly fell over. He could see it, but why would you want to get the sweetness out of someone?
"I am too studious, my Meiran asked my to do this so as I might learn how to pay more attention to her," Wufei said quietly. He seemed happy enough about that idea.
"......." Trowa was silent for a bit before answering. "I want to learn /how/ to get a girlfriend...." [3]
"Hn, you know my reason," Heero said, glaring at Duo.
Duo smirked. "Yeah yeah... she wants you to learn to be more sociable... and you want away from her wheedling voice."
Quatre looked at Duo. "What about you? You haven't told us why you're here, Duo."
Duo paused and thought a moment. "Partly the same reason as Heero and Wufei, I guess... Hilde wants me to pay more attention to her and I wanted... /needed/ to get away from her or I'd go insane..."
Quatre smiled. "I guess where all in this boat together..." he smiled sweetly. "So what are your girlfriends like?"
Heero was, surprisingly, the first to answer. "Relena is the whiniest brat I've ever come across. She's a spoiled rich girl who won't leave me alone for naught," he said, his tone radiating distaste.
Duo blinked. "Man, you really don't like her... why are ya going out with her?"
Heero shrugged. "It was the only way to make her stop stalking me... but now I have to put up with her almost constantly... except when I am doing homework..." Heero's eyes glinted and Duo wondered why this was... humorous?...
"Why not?"
Heero's eyes glinted again -- yes that was definitely humor sparkling in those Prussian blue depths -- and his lips twitched into some semblance of a smile. "I'm very dedicated to my studies... Last time she decided to irritate me while I was doing my homework, she found a gun between her eyes and the threat of death if she ever disturbed him studying again..."
Duo was torn between laughter and reeling in shock. He decided laughter was his best bet. "Oh man... that's... whew... And she still comes back?" at Heero's nod he laughed again. "Man... obsessive! ... How about your girl, Quatre?"
"Dorothy is a very domineering person... I probably would not be going out with her, except that my family and her family have a sort of arrangement... It sucks... But well, I'm fairly shy and complacent and she thinks I need to be more... agressive..." Quatre sighed. "I'm only doing this for the peace of our families."
Duo whistled... He could tell that Quatre was quite unhappy with the arrangement and quite frankly he could see why. "Man, Q... That's tough stuff... Hilde's well.... a bit like Relena... only... well, I think of her more as a friend really... She's just too... I dunno... She's a tomboy and loves sports and all that stuff, but we just don't mesh..." He paused, looking around him. "How about you, Wufei?"
Wufei's eyes got dreamy. "Meiran is my goddess. She's the sweetest person I've ever known and she's just an all around lovely person. She wanted me to pay more attention to her... but she didn't know that I already did... I just didn't let people, or her, know that I did... and for her, I will make the effort to express to her just how much I do care... for her."
Duo blinked. Well, at least one of them were satisfied with his girl. "Spiffy... Trowa said he didn't have a girl, so... What next? Gawd! With all the problems we're having with the female of the species, it's enough to make you wanna go for guys!" [4] Quatre laughed softly while Trowa and Heero just looked like their stoic selves.
"I'm going back to my room..." Heero said, standing.
Duo blinked. That sounded good to him. "Uh, yeah, me too... I'll see you guys later!" he said as he followed Heero out of the cafeteria.

End of Part 1
Footnotes:
[1] Personally, I've never seen it nor heard much about it... (that is due to the fact that it is summer and I'm not in school...) but I personally would go to see it just to look at Angelina Jolie in those tight, skimpy outfits. ^_^
[2] Yes, we (and the characters) are supposed to assume that all the guys here like girls..... but of course we know this cannot be so ^_^
[3] Trowa's showing early signs of 'no-girl syndrome'. ^_^
[4] Thank you, Ryan-chan! This line came from /her/ ::points at Ryan:: brain!
