Desert Prince Part 1
He tried to be good. Really he did. While Duo looked American, he wasn't. His mother had been the fifth of his father's wives. As the daughter of an American beer baron, her child raising techniques had been slightly different from his older half brother, Quatre's mother, who had been the youngest daughter of an English duke, or his younger half brother, Wufei's mother, who had been the princess of her clan in China. But his father was very strict about schooling.
Wanting only the best for his sons, he had insisted they be schooled in Japan for their high school degrees. But still, up till the time they turned fourteen, they lived among their father's people in the sands of the Middle Eastern deserts. Did I forget to mention their father was a sheik? Oops. Okay back to the story. Duo had tried to be good, really he did, but you can only fight against your instincts so long. Especially when you were being tempted with such a delicious morsel.
He had noticed Heero Yuy the first day of school, quiet, shy, studious with a cold attitude that hinted at fiery emotions running deep. High sharp cheekbones and almost delicate features set in ivory. Wild coffee brown locks that looked as soft as silk and held hints of sable in the sun. Long dark lashes framed Prussian blue eyes as deep and secretive as the depths of the ocean. Lush full red lips slightly parted and begging to be tasted.
Heero Yuy was not your typical Japanese high school student. Duo hadn't been surprised to later discover how intelligent Heero was. They often competed for the top scores in their class. Heero wasn't some weak nerd either, he was the best kendoist in school, his martial arts even surpassed Duo's brother, Wufei, and his archery was superb. But he never joined any teams seeming to prefer being left alone. With very little effort, Duo was able to dig up his past. Heero was an orphan, the heir to a huge computer corporation. His parents had been killed in the same car crash he had survived without a scratch when he was two. Guardians had raised him since then. He was a perfect target. But Duo was determined to be good. But then the final year of school they ended up being roommates. Nine months of torture. Every night knowing Heero was just a bunk below him. Every morning waking to the sight of Heero's chiseled frame sleek from a morning shower and adorned in only a cotton terry towel. That one time the towel had slipped as Heero bent over. Duo would never forget the sight of those smooth ivory globes and. it was a sight that had fueled too many of his wet dreams. Sleeping and waking dreams. He would wake up in the middle of the night hard and aching, wanting to reach out and fulfill the phantom promises of his sleep. His attention would drift in class and he would find himself shifting in his seat glad for the long tops of their uniforms, which hid his sudden erection. Slowly he was forgetting why he needed to be good. Forgetting all the reasons why he should act 'civilized', why he couldn't just throw Heero over his shoulder and steal him away to some secret oasis until Heero no longer wanted to return home like his father had done with his mother. But some how he managed to do it. He was going to leave alone after just one more night at Shizuka Boys Academy.
But then Heero had to go and ruin it all. How you ask? Well it was quite simple. He left his drawer open and Duo being the curious person he was, he just had to peek. It was filled with letters. Carefully sealed, stamped, unmailed letters all addressed to him! Of course he couldn't open them all to read but maybe if he stole just one? Grabbing one from the middle he snuck out of the room and headed to the table tennis room at this time of day it would be empty.
Hands shaking just slightly he carefully opened the envelope and looked at the paper in surprise. It was beige with little chibi pixies on it. Not the kind of stationary he expected Heero Yuy to have.
Duo,Here I am writing down all the things I can't say again. It's been three years, four months and seventeen days since I first saw you. I'm beginning to lose hope I'll ever get your attention. I've tried everything from trying to impress you with my brain to trying to beat you at archery, nothing works. You stare right through me as if I didn't exist. I was talking with Ryu about how to get your attention. He said I should try my body since it would make a straight man turn. But three months of timing my showers with your waking hasn't worked. Do you have any idea how cold it is to walk down the hall in a towel? Guys that don't even live in our dorm have started showing up in the hall, as if I wouldn't notice, they were waiting there starting at 5 in the morning. I'm not dense. But it seems the only person in school I want to attract is oblivious. Namely you. This morning I dropped my towel and bent over in front of you and no response. What do I have to do to get your attention? Offer myself up to you as a virgin sacrifice bound naked and vulnerable on an alter? I'm so desperate though I want so much more, I'd be willing to take just sex from you. I'd be willing to take anything from you. It hurts in a way to know that I have nothing you want. I still remember the first time our eyes met it was transcendental, almost like you striped me to the soul with one look and marked me forever yours. It was the first time anyone had made me feel so deeply. I thought I had locked away my heart long ago. But then you looked away and suddenly I could breath again. I was vulnerable barely able to keep standing but you breezed away followed by your usual group of ad poring fans. You changed my world forever without realizing it.
I know I'll love you forever and the though scares me more then anything else. Because I know one day you'll leave and I'll be alone again. Forever.
Yours Always, Heero
Damn it. There went all his good intentions. He couldn't leave Heero behind now could he?
