Chapter 1 -- Do happy dreams come true?
(Continued from previous chapter) My name is Duo Maxwell, and I am in love with...
"HEERO!" I screamed, sitting straight up in my bed. My heart was beating like a tin drum, and I was sweating. "Oh, thank God it was just a dream!"
"Duo, you okay?" my roommate said, climbing back into his bed, having toppled out after the surprised awakening.
"Yeah, yeah, I will be," I breathed, falling back into the pillows.
"Who's Heero?" he asked. "Your brother?"
"I don't have any siblings, ya moron," I scoffed. "You should know that, Kakashi! Heero is... Well, he's my ONE, ya know? You're the only person I've told that I'm gay, and so he has no idea."
"You were calling out to him like he was dying," Kakashi said. "I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you guys were in a mobile suit battle, and that he was getting killed."
"You guessed it," I said. "The battle was nearly over, and we were getting ready to finish things up and get back home. In my dream we were already really close to each other. But the last one he fought was too strong for him, and I was too far away to help. I watched as the enemy shot Heero straight through the heart. I looked at me, and said "I love you" as loud as he could before his eyes just went blank. I didn't have any ammo left and so threw myself into the explosion that his suit caused, screaming his name as we both died."
"Whew," he whistled. "All I can say is that you'd better get your ass in gear and tell him how you feel about him before someone else steals him away from you. If you love him, tell him!"
"Thanks, man," I said, turning over and closing my eyes.
"Oh, and Duo..." he said. "Don't make me kill you by making me fall out of bed again, okay?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Little did I know how Heero actually felt about me. It didn't help any the next day when we saw each other around school, and the following will explain why:
As soon as I saw him from across the courtyard, I waved to him, and he waved back softly. His eyes were sparkling, so out of character for him, and his hand was soft, almost carressing, as we shook hands in meeting. I pondered to myself if this was even the same man. We were both on our way to lunch, and so decided to enjoy each others' company. At a lull in the conversation, I decided to take the chance...
"Heero, I need to tell you about something," I said, looking down at my food. I couldn't believe I was getting so flustered! The man I loved was sitting right next to me and I couldn't talk! "It's something I don't tell m-m-many p-p-p-people, but I'm...."
"You're gay too, aren't you?"
"I... um, uh..." I stuttered, then finally found words to confirm it. "Yeah, yeah, I am. How did you know?"
"It's called internal Gaydar," he said, pointing to his head. "I read the signs. A young, very attractive man of about 24, with girls throwing themselves at his feet, still not married or even in any kind of relationship, who is an absolute bishonen. In my mind, he pretty much has to be gay."
"You were married before you came out," I shot back.
"That's because I hadn't even thought about men being attractive until, after Relena died, I couldn't look at a woman without seeing something of her in them," Heero said. "It took me a very long time to come out after she died because I was so in love with her that I didn't want to let go. But when I did start to notice other guys, I realized that it really isn't anything to be ashamed of."
"I know, and I'm not ashamed of it," I said. "I'm just scared of what this certain guy I've got a crush on will think when I tell him how I feel about him."
"Tell me about this crush," he said, having no idea that it could be him. "What's he like?"
"Well, he's incredibly strong, and smart," I began. "He's been through a lot, nearly being killed on a number of occasions. He even lost his wife and unborn child in a car accident a few years ago. He's been to Hell and back since he was a kid. He has short brown hair and a little mole on his neck, just under his ear." From the moment I'd mentioned the car accident, his eyes had snapped to wide mode.
"Are you talking... about me?" he gasped.
"Yes, Heero, I'm talking about you," I said, attempting to take his hand, but he pulled away. "I'm not just saying this, Heero. I LOVE you!"
"I'm flattered that you'd choose me, Duo, I really am," he said, standing and putting down a tip on the table. I rose to my feet, and he put his hand on my cheek ever-so-gently. "But I'm not ready to just jump into a relationship. I'm sorry, Duo." Without another word, his hand slipped away from my face and he walked away.
"Heero..." I sighed, too soft for anyone to hear me. "Come back to me..."
"HEERO!" I screamed, sitting straight up in my bed. My heart was beating like a tin drum, and I was sweating. "Oh, thank God it was just a dream!"
"Duo, you okay?" my roommate said, climbing back into his bed, having toppled out after the surprised awakening.
