The Vampire's Love Part 2
"Hello, may I help you sir?" said Duo cheerfully.
"Yeah, I'd like a cheeseburger and I also want a small ice coffee."
"Ok, a cheeseburger and a small ice coffee, right? That's all?"
"Yes."
"So, that's $3.95, please."
Yup. That's right. Duo Maxwell is working part time in his friend's fast food restaurant on the weekends.
"Duo, I think that you should go home now. You've been here the whole day! Anyway, we don't have that many customers, we can handle it without you." Solo said from behind him.
"Nah, I think I'll stay until ten." Duo turned to face his friend with a big smile on his face. "Every week you tell me the same thing, Solo. You know that I won't go until we're closed. So don't try to waste your time trying shoo me away." He smirked.
Solo sighed, "I know, but even though you are the one who volunteered to help me, I feel bad about having to keep you here your entire weekend."
Duo patted his friend's back gently, "Don't worry about that. I don't have anything to do if I stay at home, anyway."
"But still."
"Oh, there are customers." Then Duo rushed to the counter.
"May I help you?" Duo put on his trademark smile on his face once again.
A guy that obviously looked like the leader of the gang that was standing behind him answered, "I want to have four burger trios."
When Duo was busy to get the food ready, the young leader of the gang said, "Hey babe, want to go out with me tonight?"
Duo smiled sweetly, "Sorry, I can't. First, I don't have time. Second, I am NOT a babe even though I have a long braid. So, there you go, it's $18.75."
The others who were standing behind the leader were trying not to laugh out loud. The head of the group was completely embarrassed in front of everyone, and his face was as red as beet. He took the tray and walked toward the furthest table with his people.
The long-haired boy smirked slightly and went to the kitchen once again.
"Duo, you shouldn't provoke Alex, although he is such a jerk, he is still the leader of one of the most powerful gangs around this area. We never know what will they do for revenge." Solo said worriedly.
Duo assured his friend, "Don't worry Solo. They wouldn't dare to do anything nasty to me. They are only a small gang that has nothing else to do than fool around."
Solo sighed deeply. He knew that his old friend would never listen to him. He threw worried glance at the gang leader who whispered something to one of his people. He had a really bad feeling about this. He just hoped that nothing bad would happen to his braided friend.

At the table that Alex and his gang were sitting, Alex was telling one of his men, "David, later, when that arrogant long-haired guy gets out from work, follow him and bring him to me. I just can't stand the way he made a fool of me in front of all those people."
"Sure thing, boss." That guy who called David grinned evilly.
* * * * * *
After the restaurant closed and another of Solo's warnings, the exhausted Duo finally walked out of the restaurant, humming a tune that his mother had always sang him sleep with when he was still young. He wanted to walk home since his home wasn't very far away from where he worked.
But he didn't realized that someone had been following him the entire time since he had walked out of Solo's place.
When he walked near a dark, narrow alley, someone grabbed him from behind, covered his mouth to prevent him from yelling, and pulled him into the small alleyway.
* * * * * *
Tonight, Heero was feeling restless, at home, so he decided to take a short walk outside.
Once he was outside, under the brightness of the city lights, he felt even lonelier. Everyone around him was seemed to have to real concerns, everybody except himself that is. It had been a week since the first day of school and he still hadn't figured out what he could do to change the situation between him and Duo.
All of a sudden, the Japanese boy smelled a familiar scent of sweetness, the fragrance of the object of his obsession, and he also sensed fear and panic from the long-haired boy.
Heero ran in the general direction of the violet-eyed boy as fast as he could.
* * * * * *
"Boss, I brought you that arrogant brat like you asked." David said triumphantly.
"Good job, David. We should teach this brat a little lesson now, shouldn't we?" Alex said evilly.
"Of course."
Duo was pressed against the wall, totally panicking. He couldn't help but shiver. "What do you want with me?" Duo was successfully hiding his fear from them, except for his expressive eyes that gave him away.
"Oh nothing much. As I said, I just want to teach you a lesson for insulting me in front of all those people. And by the way, do you know that you are such a pretty thing even though you are a boy?" The gang leader had plastered that evil smile of his on his face.
Duo was shaking more violently by now. "SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!"
Alex was laughing loudly. "Yell all you want. Even if you yell, no one will hear you since there is barely a soul around here. Even less to come and rescue you."
Then that jerk was leaned forward and tried to kiss Duo.
"Hey! What are you doing?" An angry voice came from behind.
* * * * * *
Heero was arrived at the small alley just in time. He saw a bully was trying to kiss...his...Duo. A wave of anger gripped the short-haired boy, "Hey! What are you doing?"
The group, including their leader and the long-haired boy all seemed shocked at his sudden appearance.
"Oh, look at what we have here. Another beau. Don't try to interfere pretty boy."
"Oh? What will you do if I really try to stop you?" Heero let a little smirk appear on his usually expressionless face.
"Then I will have to teach you not to interfere other people's business then."
"Oh, try and teach me then." Heero sneered.
Alex was absolutely furious. No one had ever insulted him like this before. He tried to punch to the other boy, but the punches never landed on the Japanese boy, not even once.
Since Heero was a black belt in karate himself, he ducked the punches quite easily. Actually, we could say that he was having fun playing around with the gang leader.
Suddenly, Heero decided to make his first move, and he just gave the big guy a punch.
When the others saw their leader defeated by Heero Yuy, they ran.
"Don't you ever judge people by their appearance, and don't you dare to mess with Duo Maxwell ever again." He hissed into Alex's ear before he sank his long fangs into the big guy's neck.
"Yes, master." Alex said with an empty voice.
* * * * * *
A surge of reassurance washed over the braided boy, and he suddenly felt so tired. Before he let the tiredness claim him, he vaguely saw that Heero had put his mouth near Alex's long neck.
