You know, after the wars I never thought I'd see them again. We all went our seperate ways; Quatre and Trowa off wherever, Wufei to the preventers, and Heero to, I guess, protect the hard-won peace by protecting Relena. It's funny how you can love someone so much that, even after you thought the flame was long dead and gone, when they mysteriously pop up again it burns like never before.
There I was, minding my own business and checking out the latest releases on lasar disc, when *HE* showed up. Him! I felt my heart ache and other things, best left unsaid, swell. There he was, my former lover... all, gods, six feet of him. I thought China men were supposed to remain short? I guess times change... I've heard stories of how most people used to be short, and we've just grown over the ages... but that aside.
There I stood in line waiting to check out my movie and Chang Wufei walks up with Sally... Naturally I assume they are together, but say nothing of my assumption -- I'd rather be an ass in private than to prove truly how much of a fool I am.
"Duo!" Sally chimes, smiling brightly. I notice a wedding band on her finger, but none on his... Interesting. Though some men dislike wearing rings... So he could just not be wearing his... Gah! I'm reading too much into this. Like I was saying...
I smiled back, not letting the ache of my heart show in my face, and chirp back. "Hey Sally! Hey Wu!"
Wufei smiles at me... He SMILES! And to my utter, at a loss of words surprise says, "Hey, Duo! Well don't just stand there! C'mere and give me a hug!" Time sure does change a person... I return the hug, carefully, eh heh... Yeah...
After I pull back, and put my movie over a certain area, I ask him "So, what have you been up to?" Eee, bad choice of words, Maxwell. "Love the hair, you let it grow out some... You look great, as always."
Wufei just smiles, but something else distracts him and he and Sally give me a regretful 'goodbye' before running off to whatever it was.
I finally get out of the movie store and nearly collapse into the seat in my car. Oh gods! The ache, and more than one ache it is.
Sometime later, I received a phone call... Now, I'm unlisted and the only people who have ready access to my home number is Preventer's HQ (just in case I decide I wanna work for them) and Quatre... Quatre's been really good about keeping in touch with us and he calls frequently enough that I don't feel like I've been totally abandoned by my friends.
So yeah, the phone rang and I checked the ID... it was a cellphone... listing the city in which it was registered and the number, but nothing else... So, shit... Do I answer it or not... Finally, after some debate, I pick up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey," the person says... Now, in all the years since they created cellphones you'd think they could clear up the reception, but no... Obviously the person on the other end knows this and asks "Do you know who this is?"
My heart starts pounding. Oh my gods! "Maybe..." I say slowly, trying to clear the voice through my brain... it's a wonder how much a brain can filter and connect... "H-heero?" I ask.
I can hear the grin in his voice. "Maybe..."
Oh my god! Oh my god! "Hey, Heero! Whatcha been doing?"
"Hn..." he grunts. Yup. Definitely Heero. "Want to go play pool?"
He wants to play pool... ok, so he wants to get together... I wonder if it's just buddy-buddy or...
"That is, unless you don't want to spend time with me..."
I'm nearly falling to the floor. <You'd better not be messin' with me, Heero...> I think before swallowing and replying. "No, I'd like that..."
"Ok," he says. "I'll be there in a few."
When did Heero get so laid back? When did he ever wanna shoot pool? That was me that liked those things... pool and beer and a nice private back room... he he.
He arrived and we went to the pool hall... Not much... I kicked his ass at pool... And I caught him scoping out my rear as I bent over the table to shoot...
After the games we ride home... I thank him for a nice night and head in... He promises to call me the next day... I get inside and collapse onto the couch.
You know, after the wars I never thought I'd see them again. It's funny how you can love someone so much that, even after you thought the flame was long dead and gone, when they mysteriously pop up again it burns like never before.

These occurances are really... you know the jibe... "People's names have been changed to protect the real people's identities" that's sorta this... Most of the dialogue is real life stuff... and yes, the 'Heero' boy was checking out my ass... He's 19-ish... and the 'Wufei' boy did say that and we hugged... Gods, I've got it bad... I've got it real bad for the 'Wufei' boy... but the 'Heero' guy has such beautiful brown eyes... ::growls:: I sure as hell hope 'Heero' is not leading me on... Gotta get ahold of Kitty and get 'Wufei's number... ^_^ (wanna take a gander at which is which? Damien or Jason?)
