and well made plans until he meets a boisterous young man who slowly
changes his life forever. "A Boy's World " Ch 1 ‘Duo! NO! AHH!’ SPLOOSH! ‘Would you like to go swimming, Hiiro?’ Relena asked sweetly. Her graceful ways were a balm to the Japanese boy’s grainy persona. He’d never really understood her patience with him but he was glad to be a part of anything that could be considered normal socialization. ‘Perhaps when the children are finished,’ he replied evenly. He didn’t mean to sound unkind but the date Hilde had brought to Relena’s birthday party was causing quiet a lot of commotion. He was childish and brash and seemed to care about nothing more than satisfying his own thirst for attention. He was the worse kind of person as far as Hiiro was concerned and he couldn’t figure out for the life of him why he was the most popular guy at the event. It was downright disturbing. ‘Would you like some more punch?’ he asked changing the subject to something less irritating. ‘Yes, thank you,’ the girl replied kindly. Hiiro paused a moment before leaving the table to steel his resolve against the fact that she laughed at some ridiculous thing that longhaired fool had done. Just a little longer and things would go back to being nice and quiet and properly ordered again. He decided to take a little detour to the bathroom while he was up. There was a good turn out, at least two hundred people crowded the house and patio but Relena was a very popular girl with all her peers and teachers as well as many of the members of upper society. At least half the guests were there for more political reasons than anything else. Guests like Dorothy Catalonia and her reluctant date Quatre Winner who passed by him while he waited in line at the toilet. It was common knowledge that the blond boy’s parents favored this match and pressured him constantly to court the chilly girl everyone thought of as a shrew. It wasn’t uncommon to see them together at events like this but it was obvious neither of them were in any way enjoying the time together. Hiiro was just about to take his turn in the restroom when the hall way suddenly exploded in turmoil with Hilde running full steam between the startled guests slinging water everywhere as Duo chased her down with a super soaker water gun he’d brought along drenching everyone including the Japanese boy who could only stand stock still and watch while the pair slammed into him then rolled away giggling madly slamming the bathroom door behind them. ‘Ahh! Duo! NO! NO! DON’T YOU HA HA HA HA DUO!’ There was little to do but go find another bathroom. Luckily Hiiro had been in this house dozens of times and knew there to be one not too far away just outside in the garage. It took a bit to dry out his shirt enough that it wasn’t see through anymore. He was probably the only guy there that had worn a white dress shirt to a pool party but that was just his way. Stuffy most people called it but he was comfortable with it and didn’t really care what they had to say. It wasn’t really dry either but it would have to do. If that fool would just get a clue and go home things would calm down and they could enjoy themselves. He was still grousing internally about the longhaired boy’s behavior when he slammed into him as he was exiting the restroom knocking him clean off his feet. ‘Ah shit! Sorry!’ the boy gasped reaching to help him up. ‘Didn’t see ya. You ok?’ ‘Yes,’ Hiiro replied clearly annoyed as he brushed the dust off his black pants. Now he was damp and soiled because of this idiots antics. ‘What are you doing out here?’ he asked shortly. ‘Weren’t you terrorizing the toilet in the hall?’ ‘Miss Casey kicked me out ‘cause I’m still drippin,’ the boy laughed it off. Hiiro knew Miss Casey to be the downstairs maid but most people called her Cassandra. This boy was terribly fresh with someone he’d only just met but it didn’t really surprise Hiiro much. ‘If you’ll excuse me,’ he said stepping around the boy, the awkwardness of the close quarters grating his already frazzled nerves as he felt the boy’s body brush past his. If he didn’t get out of there fast he was going to suffocate for sure. ‘Sure,’ the boy grinned turning around. Hiiro glanced back pausing when the boy pulled his dripping shirt off over his head and began to wring it out. It was odd but from the back he looked remarkably like a girl. Must’ve been that preposterously long hair. The muscles were lean though, not really feminine at all. Especially the way they moved when he used his arms and hands. ‘What?’ the boy asked turning to smile oddly at him. ‘You go to Central High right?’ Hiiro asked to cover the awkward feeling he had about having stared at him. ‘Yeah,’ the boy replied slipping his swim shorts off. Hiiro turned his head before he’d really thought about the fact that they were both boy’s and it didn’t matter if he could see his... rather toned ass. What kind of work out did this guy do? ‘Hilde’s in my third period,’ he explained. ‘You’re Relena’s boyfriend right?’ he asked slipping his shorts back on after ringing them out as well. ‘One of her suitors,’ Hiiro corrected. ‘Hmm,’ the boy mused turning to face him with his wet shirt in hand which left his chest bare as a babies bottom. Why was it so hard for Hiiro not to look? And the stomach… six pack abs and tight right down to his…. ‘Hilde said you guy’s were heading for the alter some day,’ the boy cut mercifully into his thoughts. What in the hell was he thinking!?!? ‘That is a possibility,’ Hiiro replied fighting with all his might against the blush that was rising to his cheeks. Why couldn’t this moron just put some damn clothes on?! ‘……..’ ‘…….’
‘Huh?’ ‘I... can’t get by.’ ‘Oh... sorry,’ Hiiro apologized stepping aside from the door. ‘Do you ever get off snob hill?’ the boy asked playfully. ‘Occasionally,’ Hiiro replied running a hand through his unruly mop of chocolate brown hair. ‘There’s going to be a street party next Saturday on Second and Main,’ he told him. ‘You ought to bring your lady out for some old fashioned, toe stomping fun,’ he smiled. ‘I doubt she’d be interested in stomping on toes,’ Hiiro chuckled. ‘But … I’ll ask her,’ he promised. ‘Great,’ the boy smiled. It was a soft smile unlike the usual gigawatt blasts he’d been dazzling the guests with all night and it kind of made Hiiro’s stomach feel weird. ‘I’m Duo,’ the boy told him offering his hand. ‘Hiiro,’ Hiiro returned reaching to take it. He was again amazed by the intensity of the feeling. In that one short moment his mind had memorized every aspect of the boy’s hand, his grip, the long delicate fingers that harbored an oddly fascinating strength. The warmth of his skin, the texture, the pulse beneath the flesh… ‘Nice to meet you.’ Hiiro felt an odd sense of loss when the boy’s slender hand slipped from his grasp. He couldn’t help but wonder if Relena even owned a pair of jeans and sneakers. If not he’d have to make sure to take her shopping. She couldn’t go to a street party in an evening gown. The shopping trip took place that next Wednesday evening. He usually took his regular date to a play or a movie and dinner on their regular night but there wouldn’t be another opportunity to convince her to accompany him to the dance party. He’d never been to anything like this before and found himself strangely compelled to see how the other half lived. Most of his life had been spent under the tutelage of his mentor and benefactor Dr. J so he had no real knowledge of normal teenage life. He had been honed and prepared to one day take over the corporation J headed which was the only thing that put him in a place where he’d even be accepted as a proper suitor for his honey blond date. Relena was kind and attentive if not a bit fanciful. He enjoyed her company for the most part. At least she was calm and pleasant which usually served to aid him in calming his own jagged personality. He’d learned to hide the storm of emotions that raged within him long ago but hiding it didn’t make it go away. His only hope was control and Relena’s gentle ways helped him a great deal to that end. He knew in the end it was a selfish reason for staying by her side but she seemed content with his company as well so apparently it was mutually beneficial. She was cute too. That was a plus. Pretty blue eyes and long soft hair, a nice figure and warm smile, gentle, serine, nothing like the bright sparkling visage of Duo in his mind. That boy had no clue what moderation was... accept maybe that one time... in the bathroom… when he smiled so softly. It reminded Hiiro of light dancing on top of the water. Feathered edges and violet mist, chestnut silk... the gracefully textured ripples of his lower abdomen… ‘..iiro?’ ‘Hm?’ ‘I asked what you think of this?’ ‘Oh... its fine,’ he replied brushing the odd memory away. ‘It’s lovely,’ he added seeing the distressed expression in her eyes. It wasn’t jeans but the pants suit would be much better than her usual dress for a function like this. It really did look cute on her now that he took a proper look. Fine clothes suited her well. He couldn’t imagine what in the world had made him think to buy her jeans in the first place as they checked out. ** A snug fit, smooth, not too tight but contouring, acid washed low riders with a decorative lacing up outer thighs and a tie instead of a zipper. Blue, size six….petite with a flare leg. Extra long and so… very… accessible… ‘Relena! You came,’ Hilde exclaimed. ‘Duo said he invited you guys but I didn’t think you’d be able to make it,’ she smiled. ‘It’s very lively isn’t it?’ Relena smiled looking around at the crowd mingling. Some kids were dancing on the corner while others ate the food they’d bought at the street venders at small tables set along the side walk. Others merely walked about browsing the temporary shops that were set up while the band played lively pop music from the back of a flat bed truck. ‘Hey!’ Duo smiled brightly. Did he know his belly button was showing? Did he have any idea at all that he looked sexier than any of the women that were walking around? Was he really clueless to the fact that those jeans were turning every head, male and female, that passed by? ‘Hi,’ Hiiro replied. What in the hell was he doing in this noisy place with these people? ‘You guys want to get a beer and sit for awhile?’ Duo asked. ‘We’re underage,’ Hiiro grumbled. ‘Yeah,’ Duo grinned draping one long arm over Hilde’s shoulder. ‘But Hilde’s uncle runs the bar,’ he smirked. ‘No way,’ Hilde interjected brushing him off. ‘You’re going to get him in so much trouble,’ she sighed rolling her eyes. ‘Hey!’ Duo groused grinning like a mad man as he offered Hiiro a wink and went after her. ‘Come on, you know he’d do it for me.’ ‘That is precisely the point,’ the girl admonished. ‘Don’t be such a prude,’ the braided boy told her dancing out in front. ‘We have special guests today,’ he smiled tossing Hiiro and Relena an impish glance. ‘Come on,’ he repeated dragging her off in the direction of the bar. ‘Yo! Wally, hows it hangin?’ he greeted the young man behind the table that served as a temporary bar. ‘Limp and to the left,’ the guy teased. ‘Want to do something about it?’ he added grinning brightly at the boisterous boy. ‘Be nice,’ Duo told him. ‘There’re ladies present,’ he said indicating Relena. The man refrained from any other colorful comments but continued to grin just the same. ‘Can you set us up with some suds?’ Duo asked hopping up on the table and scooping up one of the filled cups that were waiting to be bought. Wally caught it just before it got to his lips. ‘Got an ID?’ ‘Just this,’ Duo retorted grabbing his crotch. ‘Duo!’ Hilde exclaimed glancing at the blushing Relena. ‘You’re such a slut,’ Wally admonished affectionately. ‘Sorry,’ he apologized to the lady glancing this time at the oddly expressionless look on Hiiro’s face. ‘Take them down the alley,’ Wally said looking around to see if anyone was watching as he pushed four of the glasses towards the boy. ‘Yes,’ Duo hissed snagging him by the shoulder. ‘Come’re… give us a kiss,’ he teased puckering up as the man fought to get away. ‘Get off ya little perv!’ Wally exclaimed pushing him away. ‘Sorry,’ Hilde offered as they followed the boy with the beer down a small alleyway where there was a park bench. ‘He’s very... energetic,’ Relena chuckled. ‘Never a dull moment,’ Hilde sighed smiling fondly at the boy. ‘Here you... oh shit,’ Duo exclaimed turning around right into Hiiro and managing to slosh the pungent drink down the front of his shirt. ‘Damn,’ he chuckled unable to hold it in. ‘Seems like I’m always getting you wet,’ he told him sitting the drinks down on the bench so he could dry him off. There was nothing Hiiro could do. He’d been so distracted by the movement of those damn jeans he’d all but walked right over the boy and now he was steadily rubbing his hand down his chest with a napkin that was about to cross over into no mans land. ‘I’ve… I’ll do it,’ he said quickly securing Duo’s wrist to keep him from actually wiping his crotch for him. There was already too much stimuli down there already. Shit, what in the hell was he thinking!? Forty five minutes and three beers later Hiiro was thinking maybe this had been a very bad idea. Did every person in town know this guy personally? It appeared so as he was constantly being greeted by passers by and after that third beer the greetings were becoming down right embarrassing. ‘Hey, Duo!’ ‘Yo! Hot Toddy! Lil Miss Mary! What’s shakin?’ ‘Geez! You smell like a brothel!’ Tod exclaimed turning his head as the longhaired boy wedged himself between him and his girlfriend. The fact that he noticed Tod’s revulsion didn’t extend to the arm he slipped around Duo’s waist was really starting to seriously irritate the Japanese boy. ‘Lay off my man,’ Mary chided pinching his ass. ‘Ow! Come on, Hilde,’ Duo coaxed pulling the reluctant girl into the mix. ‘Mary’s lonely, make it a foursome.’ ‘Ah! S...stop!’ Mary giggled as Duo turned the sordid affair into a tickle fight. ‘Would you like to go inside for awhile?’ Hiiro asked Relena. ‘Hm?’ she replied still chuckling at their friends antics. ‘It’s very warm,’ the Japanese boy went on doing his best to mask his annoyance. ‘We could cool off at the café,’ he suggested. ‘Oh... yes,’ the girl replied looking a little put out by his reluctance to socialize. ‘We’ll catch up with you later,’ Hilde smiled extracting herself from the tangle. ‘We probably won’t be here that long,’ Hiiro told her offering his date his arm. ‘Oh, don’t leave before dark,’ Mary chimed in. ‘You’ll miss the fireworks.’ ‘That sounds lovely,’ Relena smiled. ‘If you’ll excuse us,’ Hiiro cut in evenly before they took their leave. Why it was necessary for Duo to still be hanging all over Tod like that was just something he couldn’t comprehend anymore than why in the world the sandy haired boy would allow it. ‘We can go if you like,’ Relena offered once they were seated comfortably in the air conditioned café. ‘We’ll stay if you like,’ he countered. It was considerably more pleasant in the quiet, peaceful café where there was no band, no beer, and no Duo. ‘Why did you want to come here?’ she asked. ‘You don’t appear to be enjoying yourself,’ she observed sipping her tea. Hiiro’s mind flashed for an instant on the tight, brown, wet muscles of Duo’s exposed stomach. ‘I thought a change in pace might be nice,’ he replied. JESUS! What in the hell was that? Had he come because of Duo?! And what the FUCK was up with the erotic flashbacks?!?! So what if he had a toned stomach?! What did it matter if his hips were slender or if his figure was better than Relena’s from behind. Actually, it was better from the front too… ‘He really bothers you doesn’t he?’ ‘Wh...what?’ Hiiro coughed unprepared for the question at that particular moment. ‘Duo,’ she confirmed smiling as she sipped her tea again. ‘You really can’t tolerate him can you?’ she asked seeming mildly amused. Hiiro paused a moment at a complete loss for words. ‘He’s….’ ‘Funny,’ she supplied chuckling at some whimsical memory. ‘….yes,’ he agreed for lack of anything else to say. ‘Hilde’s quite fond of him,’ she went on. ‘He’s all she ever talks about anymore. Duo this or Duo that.’ Gods he wished she’d change the subject. ‘Did you know he models?’ she asked glancing around once before adding in a softer tone, ‘In the nude.’ *cough! *cough! ...cough...coughcough * ‘Are you alright?’ ‘Y...yes... sorry,’ he told her frantically beating back the monstrous demon that comment had given birth to. DAMN IT! What in the hell was wrong with him?! ‘It’s quite daring don’t you think?’ ‘Foolish,’ he choked still regaining his voice. ‘Hmph,’ she sighed. ‘Haven’t you ever wanted to do something wild and free?’ she asked with her usual dreamy expression. ‘There’s little to be gained from indulging in fanciful urges,’ he replied sensibly. ‘Yes,’ she sighed gazing out the window at
the happy party goers. ‘I suppose you’re right.’
