"Taking it All " Chapter 21 It was truly amazing. Everything felt as it had seven months ago. Heero sighed as he sipped his canned beverage. It was by pure misfortune that he arrived to work early only to find Trowa and Wu Fei talking in the lobby. For the first few minutes, he eavesdropped on the conversation. Trowa's trust in Wu Fei would definitely supply him with an outside party to talk with. However, the subject of the conversation was solely on Heero. "You sound a little worried there." Wu Fei stated and looked over to his friend. Their eyes met suddenly, and Wu Fei could see that he was right in choosing his words. Trowa sighed and sat in the chair next to his friend. "It just seemed odd. He was acting completely out of character, and I just-" "Figured I'd know since Duo makes it a habit to know when Yuy hits a low." "It's just that he usually tells me things like this." "Things like what?" Trowa didn't respond. As Heero suspected, the Latin was asking vague questions that could lead to various ideals. "I get it. . .you're just trying to accumulate some sort of outsider opinion." Trowa nodded. "I won't pry then." "Can I ask you something strange?. . . .do you think it's possible that Heero might. . .might be in denial?" "Denial?" "Of his sexuality?" Wu Fei scoffed and leaned into his chair. "I believe Yuy is well aware of his preferences." "He does have a hard time keeping relationships." "Wouldn't you, if Winner wasn't part of the whole chaos? I mean, Yuy knows over a thousand ways to kill a person, and that's not exactly a top pick for conversational pieces. He's a solider and unless he finds another solider, or someone with an extremely huge, strong heart, he's going to have a great deal of trouble." "Point taken." Trowa bowed his head slightly, and a quick glint caught Wu Fei's attention. He turned completely to find that the glint was caused by florescent lights on the ceiling hitting a silver chain around Trowa's neck. Odd. He couldn't remember a time that Trowa wore jewelry. "Did Winner pick you up a matching necklace?" Wu Fei stated suddenly, seizing Trowa's full attention. "Hn?" "The necklace around your neck." "Oh. You mean this. . ." Trowa reached under his shirt to pull out the crystal. Before Wu Fei could get a look at it, Duo bounced into the room and onto his lover's lap; planting a kiss dead on the lips. "Sorry to keep you waiting." Duo cooed happily. "You're in a mood." Trowa stated, dropping the crystal back under his shirt. Wu Fei managed to push Duo far enough out of the way to only glimpse Trowa removing his hand from his shirt. "Why wouldn't I be? After all, me and Wu are going to an extremely 'creme de creme' restaurant tonight. I've been looking forward to this ever since we made the reservations three months ago. What are you doing here?" "Waiting for Heero." "Don't you usually wait for him outside, when he gets off?" "So now it's a crime to talk to friends?" "I never said that. I'm just saying it's weird that you actually came inside for once. I swear, do you have to pick a fight with me every time we're together?" "I'm not starting anything. I'm merely answering your questions. If you don't want to know, then don't ask." "You don't have to say it with a smart ass attitude." Rolling his eyes, Heero pushed from the wall and headed for the locker room via the scenic route. The last thing he was in the mood for was listening to Duo and Trowa's squabbling. "Wu Fei." The conversation stopped at the sound of Nion's voice. "Sally's looking for you. She didn't tell me a whole lot of details, but she sounds pretty worried." Wu Fei nodded and Duo slid off his lap to allow him to leave. "Do you want me to go with you?" Duo asked, watching him stand. "I shouldn't be long." Duo nodded, and watched him go. He then turned his attention to Trowa just as he too was standing to leave. "Hey wait. I wanna talk to you about something." "That's highly unusual." "It's about Heero." This caught Trowa's attention. "What?" "Not here." Duo whispered and looked from one side of the room to another. Without another word, he headed toward the restroom. Confused, Trowa followed him, wondering if it was really a good ideal to do as such. Once inside the restroom, he watched as Duo checked each stall to make sure they were alone. Whatever the reason for Duo's actions, Trowa had a feeling that what was coming was important. When he was sure they were alone, he turned to face Trowa. "So what's the deal with catwoman?" "Who?" "Heero's big secret girlfriend." Trowa's forehead crunched in confusion. "I don't think I'm following you." "I get it, Heero must have asked you to keep hushed
too. Guess I "Does Wu Fei know anything about this 'catwoman'?" Duo shook his head. "I swear that I didn't say anything to anyone, and it's killing me. I thought that I'd at least get to talk to you about her, since you already knew." "I know this woman?" "Heero said that the two of you knew each other well." "Duo, the only person I talk to outside Quatre's rings, are Heero and Wu Fei. . .and I KNOW Wu Fei isn't cross dressing to meet up with Heero." "Okay, now that gave bad images." "Wish I hadn't said it." "Well, that's what he told me." "How did you find out about her?" "What kind of question is that?" "You're not that dense. It's not like Heero to walk up and say 'hey, guess who I'm dating now'." "No. I happened to have noticed his back one day. It was fucked up. I mean completely chafed." Trowa could only stare in confusion as Duo continued with his explanation. "Either he suddenly got into the rough shit, or he was fucking her hard as hell. In all honesty, it could be either one." "When did you notice his back?" "Couple weeks ago." It was the time period that Heero claimed he and Trowa was having an affair. It didn't make sense. . .if he was seeing this woman, why would he project it onto Trowa? "You look confused here. I'm starting to wonder if Heero lied about you're knowing her just to shut me up." "Despite popular belief, Heero doesn't lie. Not even to you. What else do you know about this woman?" "He didn't give me any type of name, or what she looked like. . .hell, he wouldn't even tell me if she worked midnights like he did. I just don't see how they could spend time together otherwise. I mean, he's practically with you all day, and works all night." "Maybe she doesn't work." Trowa whispered, trying to make sense of all this. Sometimes, saying things out loud made them better understood. "So he's had this mystery girlfriend for, at least, a couple of weeks. . .tells you nothing about her other than she knows me. . . .and I can't remember introducing anyone to Heero that he would even begin to consider dating." "I don't think they just started dating." Trowa looked over at Duo to find a serious expression. "He didn't exactly say the words, but he is in love with her." "In love?" Duo nodded. "If you over heard them on te pone the last time they talked, even you would say so. I mean, it's kinda like when you and Quatre talk, how you have that softer, caring tone. I've never seen Heero use it before." "Then that could explain some of his actions."
Trowa leaned against the wall next to the closed door. She had to
have hurt him somehow. That explained why he was upset that Trowa
hadn't called him in four days. He probably needed someone to talk
to, but couldn't, and therefore kept everything inside. Trowa placed
his hand over his eyes. That's why he was drinking. . .his heart really
was breaking, and his best friend wasn't even there for him when he
needed comfort the most. "Shit." Trowa pushed from the wall
and left the room. He could hear Duo calling after him, but he didn't
listen. Chapter
