Trowa
wasn’t quite following Duo’s rattling, when suddenly he noticed it’d
gotten quiet next to him. Stopping
dead in his tracks, Trowa turned to the braided boy, the crackers he’d been
examining still in his hand.
Duo
was grinning at him. “You’re
not listening, are you?” he said, happily as ever.
Trowa
quirked an eyebrow, not believing how he could be happy about him not listening.
“How would you know?’
“I
just told you how I saw an alligator cross the street last night and how it got
run over by an elephant.”
Trowa
looked at his friend, silently telling him he was insane, but Duo ignored it.
Strange. The other boy still didn’t seem bothered by the fat that he
hadn’t been listening. “What
are you all bouncing about anyway?” the taller one finally asked.
“You
know,” Duo answered, “that guy I’ve been dating lately, right?”
“Heero?
Yes. Why?”
“Well,
we did it.”
Trowa
blinked. “You did... What?”
“You
know... It!”
Trowa
gave Duo a look that clearly stated he had no idea what his friend was talking
about and Duo sighed in frustration. Sure,
his friend could be oblivious, but at the moment he was being downright stupid.
“Come
on, do I need to spell it out for you? We. Had. Sex!”
Trowa blinked before he let a smile make its way to his face. The amusement was clear in his eyes. For a moment Duo wondered if the guy had gone crazy, but then he noticed the silence that had fallen around him. Where were the other shopper’s murmurs? Duo glanced around to see many faces staring at him as if they were watching water burn. He quickly retraced what had just happened and soon enough he felt how his face got all red. He had said that a bit too loud, hadn’t he?
