A New Future
Prologue
'. . . but I can't deny my feelings any longer. Lucy, I'm in love with you.
CW'
The braided youth smiled at himself. He was so devious smart. For pranks like
these his hacking skills really came in handy! He re-read the love mail he'd
written and made a few adjustments. After all, this was Wufei who was supposed
to be writing this. At least, that's what he had to make her believe. . .
When he was satisfied with the result he moved the mouse to the send button. But
the moment he clicked it he heard a voice behind him.
"I doubt Wufei likes the idea of you using his initials."
The braided boy spun around to find his roommate leaning on a table, arms
crossed, staring at him with his usual empty expression. He blinked, then when
he realised who it was he sighed relieved. "Heero."
Heero nodded once. "Duo."
Duo quickly logged out of Wufei's mailbox and shut down the computer. "How
long've you been standing behind me?" He asked as he got up from the chair.
"'I really don't know how to say this because I'm not used to it, but ever
since I first saw you I can't stop thinking about you. I keep seeing your
beautiful smile in front of my eyes and. . .'"
"Yeah yeah, okay, stop it, I get it." Duo threw his hands up in the
air in defeat. They'd reached the counter now and Duo handed his computer card
to the lady behind the counter. "I am so dead." He mumbled.
"What was that?" The lady asked politely as she gave him his students
pass back.
"Never mind." Duo quickly took his pass from the woman and hurried out
the door of the school library, closely followed by Heero. "I can't believe
you've been standing behind me from the beginning without me noticing it! What
are you, invisible or something?"
"Hn."

"DAMN YOU MAXWELL! GET THE HELL BACK HERE BEFORE I MAKE YOUR DEATH SLOW AND
VERY PAINFULL!"
The braided youth ran trough the corridors of the large building, moving his
feet as fast as he could, closely followed by an enraged Chinese boy, yelling
all the swearwords he knew and more at the top of his lungs.
Wufei had found out about somebody hacking into his mailbox and sending a love
letter to a girl who had a serious crush on him when she came to him, hugged him
and tried to kiss him. When he'd asked Heero if he knew who'd done it, after all,
Heero almost spent 24/7 behind a computer, the elder boy had simply nodded in
his roommates direction.
So now Duo was literally running for his life.
Duo had been in the orphanage for a few months now. It had been hard in the
beginning, that's for sure. First there was Wufei he had to deal with as his
roommate. Neither one of the boys liked the presence of the other and eventually
they got in a fight and Duo was placed in Heero's room. They didn't 'get along'
right away but once Duo'd befriended the young blonde Quatre, things had turned
for the better. He'd found out that this place didn't have to be so bad and
Quatre was actually a nice kid. A little naïve sometimes perhaps but he'd never
deliberately hurt anyone.
After that one event with that jerk Trowa, Heero and Wufei, who'd already been
friends, decided Duo should have a second chance and slowly they'd befriended
him too.
Trowa's position changed after that day too. He'd gotten into really deep
trouble and he was about to be sent away to a stricter orphanage for boys only
when suddenly the head of the orphanage, Sally Po, decided to give him another
chance. That had come as a surprise for everyone and why she'd decided this way
only she and a certain braided youth knew.
Trowa's behaviour had changed too. He'd lost all of his so-called 'friends' and
the twin Jeice and Darryl had been transferred to another orphanage because
they'd asked for that. Trowa suddenly realised that money couldn't buy anything
after all and he'd gotten from the arrogant rich boy to the small and silent one.
He'd given up on basketball and spent all of his free time in his room doing. .
. Actually, nobody knew what he was doing most of the time since he was one of
the few who had a room all to himself. But no one seemed to care anyway.
Sally watched the pair as they stormed out the back door onto the playground in
the back yard. Were it any other couple, she would've taken action by now to
break the two up, but she knew those boys would work it out by themselves. After
all, they always did.
Heero was watching the scene from the library window. He had a clear view of the
playground from there and a slight smirk of amusement crept up his face as he
tried to read Wufei's lips to see if he could discover some new swearwords.
Quatre walked up to him. "What's going on?" he asked as he stared
outside to see what Heero was looking at.
"Duo pulled a sick joke on Wufei."
Quatre sighed. That was to be expected. "What did he do this time?"
"Told that Lucy girl that Wufei's in love with her."
"That's sick."
"Hn."
