Claiming Duo Maxwell Part 5
The note fell silently from Duo's hand to the floor. Wufei watched his friend's face as Duo stared in horror at the piece of paper at the floor.
"Oh my god." He whispered.
Wufei eyed Duo with concern deep in his dark eyes.
"You ok Maxwell?"
Shaking Duo nodded. Wufei placed a hand on Duo's shoulder and gently pulled Duo in to a hug. Duo rested his head on Wufei's shoulder and closed his eyes.
Pepsin.
A person that caused Duo so much pain before was back in town.
"Who is he Maxwell?" Wufei asked again.
"Pepsin was my first client as a whore." Duo whispered against Wufei's shoulder and he grabbed one of Wufei's hands and squeezed it hard. "Oh god Wufei..."
Whatever Duo was going to say Wufei never found out. Duo's mobile went off, startling the two boys. Duo moved from Wufei and grabbed his bag. He fumbled round in it and pulled out his small flip phone.
"Hello? ... Relena is that you? ... Calm down I can't make out what you are saying ... Heero's where? ... Hang on Relena and I'll be there ... Don't leave him, I'll be as quick as I can ... Yes Relena I'll hurry." Duo hung up and turned to Wufei.
"Can I borrow your car?"
"What? No you can't borrow my car."
"WUFEI!"
"Why?"
"I need to get to the hospital." Wufei raised an eyebrow. "Heero has been taken to hospital. Please Wu?"
"K. But I'm driving!"
"Fine."
The two boys grabbed their bags and headed off towards the car park.
"Why can't I drive?" Duo asked as he climbed into the front seat.
"If I recall correctly you crashed my first car into a tree." Wufei replied pulling on his seatbelt.
"That wasn't my fault."
"Whose fault was it?"
"The tree."
Wufei started the car and drove slowly to the exit.
"How do you work that one out?"
"The tree jumped out in front of me."
Wufei gave Duo a brief look of amazement before returning his attention to the road.
"Whatever Maxwell."
"What it was true!"
* * *
Duo burst through the double glass doors into the waiting area in the hospital. Wufei was right behind him as Duo strolled to the front desk. His long braid danced behind him as he moved and he stopped by the desk and waited for the female receptionist to finish on the phone. She hung up and turned to Duo with a bright smile on her face.
"Good Evening how may I help you?"
"I'm looking for Heero Yuy. His sister phone me and told me he was brought here."
"You are?"
"His boyfriend."
She blinked at Duo. "His boyfriend?"
Duo's eyes narrowed at this and he nodded. "Yes I am his boyfriend." Duo repeated almost challenging her to say something about his and Heero's relationship.
"I'm sorry young man but I can't let you see him."
"What? Why not?" Duo nearly slammed his fist onto the desk but was stopped by Wufei. Wufei sent him the don't-push-it look. He paid no notice to Wufei who sighed.
"I can only give information out about him to his family and," She paused. "Girlfriend."
"So a guy that's gay can't see his lover because he's a guy?" Duo asked. She nodded. "You fucked up bitch, there is no difference between a girlfriend or a boyfriend as long as they love each other."
"Excuse me sir but what did you call me?"
"A fucked up bitch. If you have a problem with gays then tell me now so I can take this to your manager."
"Lower your voice." She ordered Duo.
"I will only lower my voice once you tell me where I can find my boyfriend!"
"Maxwell." Wufei placed a hand over Duo's mouth and pushed him away. "Let me handle this." Wufei walked back to the desk. "You stupid onna, can't you see that he's upset about his boyfriend? You better tell me where I can find him before I tear down this hospital in order to find him!"
"Wufei?"
Wufei turned to see Relena standing there. Duo spun round.
"Lena, is Heero alright?"
"He'll be fine. Came on, I'll take you to him."
* * *
Two pairs of cornflower blue eyes followed the backs of Duo, Wufei and Relena as they headed down the corridor and out of sight.
A pair of sky blue eyes watched the men. One set belonged to Treize Khushrenada and the other to Treize's brother Pepsin Khushrenada. The man watching them was Zechs Marquise.
Treize and Pepsin were both so caught up in watching Duo that they didn't see the longhaired blond stand up and follow the three friends.
Zechs followed them until they reached a room in which, Zechs guess, Heero was. He ducked into another corridor and listened.
* * *
"How is he doc?"
"His arm has healed. We snapped the bone back into place and he has already got full use of it back. His recover rate is amazing (1). I think it will be better if he is somewhere familiar to him. He seems to be distressed about something, maybe you could talk to him when you get home?" Duo nodded at the doctor. "Keep him warm. He should be fine in a few days. Miss Peacecraft I will need you to sign the release papers. Perhaps you two could go wait in the waiting room?"
"Could I just go and see Heero first?"
"Of course go ahead."
"Wufei can you order us a taxi please?" Duo asked, Wufei nodded and Relena went off with the doctor while Duo disappeared into the private room.
"Hi koi."
* * *
Zechs couldn't hear the conversation between Duo and Heero so he watched Wufei use the nearby phone to call a taxi. A few minutes later Duo appeared again.
"Heero is just changing. We'll go back to the waiting room."
Wufei nodded and lead the way towards the waiting area.
Zechs backed into the corridor as they passed and then hurried after them.
* * *
Duo smirked at the receptionist and then turned to face the rest of the room. The smirk disappeared as he came face to face with a set of blue eyes.
"Why the fuck are you here?"
Treize stood smoothly; smiling at the fact Duo didn't recognise the boy sitting next to him.
"I heard Heero was taken to hospital. I came to make sure he was alright."
"I thought I told you that if I ever saw you again I would kill you?"
"That you did Duo, that you did. It's been a long time."
"Not long enough." Duo hissed his hands clenched in fist by his side. "I should of killed you when I had the chance."
"I only wanted to see Heero again. He was so good to me." Treize smirked as Duo's eyes narrowed at him.
"Come near him and it will be the last thing you do."
* * *
Zechs stopped and watched as Treize stood up.
"What are you doing here?" Zechs turned to see a pair of hard Prussian eyes looking at him.
"Protecting you from Treize."
"Yeah right." Heero growled at Zechs.
"See for yourself if you don't believe me." Zechs stepped aside and Heero stepped forward in time to see Treize swing a foot at Duo's head.
"DUO!"
* * *
Duo spun at the sound of Heero's voice and Treize's foot connected with Duo's skull. Duo staggered backwards into Wufei who grabbed him before Duo could fall to the ground.
Heero rushed forward to Duo and Wufei and took Duo from Wufei. Wufei stepped forward and then paused as he saw the other blue-eyed man next to Treize.
"Pepsin?"
"Glad you know who I am. We didn't come here to fight koi."
Duo held on to Heero for support and turned to Pepsin.
"I'm not yours."
"You were once and you will be again."
TBC...
I only just remembered about his arm. I needed it to be healed. It's amazing what Doctors today can do! *laughs nervously*.
