Disregarding the Rules Part 4
That Friday Heero found himself being dragged downtown towards the large cinema complex. His friend was a lot stronger than he looked.
"Wow, Quatre, slow down!" Heero gasped as he was jerked into a run.
"We're going to be late! We must get there before Relena and Dorothy!"
Heero just shrugged and followed as quickly as he could.
Trowa was leaning against the wall opposite the cinema and Duo sat on top of the wall, one leg either side of Trowa's upper body. A cigarette rested unlit in his mouth, (Trowa had forbidden him to smoke around Quatre).
"They're late." Duo sung looking at his watch. "It's gone half seven."
"The film doesn't start till eight." Trowa replied. "How are you getting home Duo?"
"I'm walking. Why?"
"All that way, at this time of night? The film won't end till gone 11 and it takes you at least an hour to walk home."
"I'll be fine. Plus I have Quatre and Heero to walk with. It's you, you should be worrying about, walking home on your own."
"I live ten minutes away, idiot." Trowa scolded.
Duo shrugged. "I'll be fine, you shouldn't worry about me."
"Just hearing you say that makes me worry."
"Look, there they are!" Duo pointed out quickly as Heero and Quatre came into view.
Quatre's eyes scanned the crowd surrounding the cinema.
"YO!"
He heard the call and he spun to see Duo waving at him and Trowa watching him with blazing brilliant green eyes. He gripped Heero's hand tighter and headed over towards them.
"Finally you came." Duo slurred, putting the cigarette away as he felt Trowa leave his side.
"Someone had to try on about ten different outfits before we left." Heero complained as Quatre leapt into Trowa's arms and kissed the smile that formed on Trowa's lips.
"Sounds just like Trowa here." Duo laughed. "So, where's the girls?"
"HEERO?! My god, you looked so handsome!"
Duo winced visibly at the sound, as someone dressed in pink glomped Heero as tightly as she could while another girl dressed in yellow slide up to Quatre and put her hand in his without him realising.
"I guess I spoke too soon."
Heero just glared at the braided boy.
* * *
The boys stood in line waiting to buy the tickets while the girls hurried off to the bathroom.
"So, what's the plan again?" Duo whispered as soon as they were out of range.
"Well, me and Trowa will just be normal. You and Heero have to act like a couple. It'll completely freak them two out." Quatre explained. "And if they think that we are gay then they will leave us alone."
"Sounds ok but what if..."
Trowa clapped his hand over Duo's mouth.
"Don't even say it." He warned and Duo bit the palm of his hand. "Ouch, you little..."
Duo smiled sweetly at his best friend.
Quatre gave a smile and snuggled close to Trowa, his head resting on his boyfriend's shoulder. Duo raised an eyebrow at Heero who shot a dangerous look at Duo.
"Don't even think about it." He growled.
"Aw, poor Duo, looks like his date isn't putting out."
Duo flicked his finger at Trowa just as they reached the ticket booth.
"Hey there." Duo purred at the cashier who blushed. "Can we have six tickets for the 8 o'clock showing of Lord of the Rings please?"
"Certainly sir. And how will you be paying?"
"Hand over your money guys."
The three behind him groaned and dug deep into their pockets.
"That will be $27 (1) please."
Duo smiled and handed her $30. "Keep the change." He winked.
"Thank you sir." She blushed again handing him the tickets.
Duo turned to go but paused and turned back.
"By the way madam that necklace looks lovely on you."
The girl had to hide her face in embarrassment as Trowa and Heero dragged Duo away.
"You are such a charmer Duo." Quatre giggled as said charmer flicked his hair back and gave Heero a bright sexy smile.
"That's what I'm told."
Heero ignored Duo as he started to climb up towards the cinema screens. The others followed.
"What one are we in?" Quatre asked.
"Screen 12." Duo purred as Relena and Dorothy appeared again. "By the way ladies, I love how you both look so pretty tonight."
"Thank you." Relena replied shyly.
"Please." Dorothy rolled her eyes. "Nice try, pity it didn't work." She snarled.
"Suit yourself. Heero, you need to go left."
"I don't go to the cinema much." Heero explained, his face blank as Relena took his hand.
"Neither do I, its so special to be here with you."
Duo and Trowa pulled a face at each other. Do girls really act like these? Duo asked silently as he watched Relena cling to Heero's arm as Quatre and Dorothy lead the way to screen 12.
"I think she is stealing your date." Duo said casually.
"I would say the same to you, only Heero is only your pretend date. And you are not getting far with him anyway."
"Screw you Trowa."
"Excuse me." Relena spun round and faced Duo, a look of horror on her face.
"What?"
"Relena?"
"Don't you dare use language like that in front of an women!"
Duo just stood there in shock, having not the plainest idea as to what he had said that was so terrible.
"Disgusting, wash your mouth out this instant." Relena jerked away from Heero and went to stand in front of Duo.
"Hey Miss, you shouldn't yell, gives people the wrong idea." Duo said calmly. "And anyway, I'll say what I like, when I like, you don't have any right over me at all. And if you don't mind, I would like you to remove your grubby little hands from my date and leave him alone!"
Relena had never had anyone before in her life tell her what to do and so she stood there, blinking while Duo brushed past her. He walked over to Heero and held out his hand.
"Shall we?"
Heero gave a nod and took Duo's hand while Relena watched them stroll away past Dorothy and Quatre who had stood watching the scene play out in front of them.
"Excuse me Quatre for a minute. You go ahead and we'll join you in there."
"Here, take your tickets." Duo passed her two of the six and Dorothy hurried to comfort Relena while the four boys carried on into the cinema.
"Did you hear that?" Relena snarled. "That... boy... thinks he's here with Heero!!! Well I never. Heero is a gentleman, unlike him... how dare he?"
"Hey, calm down. It's all a fake. Those boys are not dating. It's all one big joke on us. They have probably only just met these guys and they thought it would be funny to play this joke on us. Now listen to me, when we go in there, we'll just let them play it out and then on Monday we'll confront them about it. How does that sound?"
Relena gave a shaky nod and let Dorothy lead her into the cinema.
* * *
Three and a half hours later, the six of them exited the cinema into a warm starry summer night.
"We've being picked up, so we'll see you guys later. Heero, Quatre would you like a lift?"
"I'm going to walk." Heero said. "But thank you."
"I'm walking too."
"Ok, see you on Monday."
"Nice meeting you two!" Duo waved as the two girls walked off. "Not... Come on Heero, let's get going and leave these two lovebirds to say goodnight."
"So are you coming to my party tomorrow night?" Duo asked. "It'll be good."
"I don't know, it's up to Quatre."
"I know Quatre's coming. Trowa said."
"I'll see."
"I get the impression that you don't like me much."
"You never gave me a reason to truly like you. You insulted me; you've treated me like a piece of meat. You seem to think I should jump straight into bed with you."
"Hey, look, I'm sorry. I never meant to make you feel like that. I guess I can be too forward sometimes. Look, how about I make it up to you? No funny business or anything. Let me buy you lunch tomorrow? Please?"
"I don't think so."
"You don't even know me and you say no, just like that. Give me a chance. You'll be surprised."
"I'm not thick."
"I'm not saying you are. All I'm asking for is a chance to show you, who I really am."
"Fine."
"Lunch?"
"Yes."
"I'll pick you up at 11:30, is that ok?"
"Hn."
"I'll take that as a yes."

"I had a good time tonight." Quatre said, holding Trowa's hand. "It was worth it just to see Relena's face when Duo told her to leave Heero alone."
"I told you before, if it pleases you then I'm happy."
"You are too sweet."
Trowa smiled.
"You wanna come over tomorrow before Duo's party? Or is it easily for me to come to yours coz then..."
"I'll come to yours."
Quatre smiled this time. "Come anytime you want. I'll be ready."
"Good night my little one."
"Good night Trowa." Quatre stood on tiptoes and placed a gently kiss on Trowa's lips but as he moved to go away, Trowa's arms wrapped themselves around his waist and pressed them as close together as they could.

Quatre finally caught up with the two of them.
"What were you doing that took you so long?" Heero asked and Quatre just shrugged.
"Just talking."
"Yeah right, the language of the body is a powerful thing." Duo joked making Quatre blush.
"Where are you off too Duo?"
"Home."
"But... where do you live?"
"Christchurch."
"How big is your house exactly?" Quatre asked.
"It's an ok size."
"I guess, Christchurch Road is a pretty area. Just next to the park and everything."
"It's Christchurch Close." Duo corrected Quatre whose mouth dropped open.
"If your parents can afford to live on Christchurch Close, then why don't you go to Cringleford Upper School?"
"No offence to you, but it's not me. Honestly can you see me fitting in somewhere like that?"
"But you could..."
"Quatre I hated that school."
* * *
"SOLO!!!! I'm BACK!"
Duo slammed the door shut behind him as he entered the large three floor house that was empty from parents.
Solo appeared on the top of the grand staircase that could be found in the hallway. Solo was wrapped in a bed sheet, with nothing on underneath.
"What a pleasant view." Duo commented as he shrugged off his jacket and hung it over his arm. "Where's Wufei?"
"Out cold."
Duo rolled his eyes. "That good huh?"
"Brother, you have no idea."
"I would prefer to remain clueless." Duo kicked off his shoes and left them by the door with all the other shoes and he walked towards the back of the house and the kitchen. Solo went back to his bedroom.
Duo picked up the phone and dialled in Trowa's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey, I'm home safe!"
"I can tell. How was the walk home?"
"I managed to shock Quatre." Duo settled himself down on a stool next to the breakfast bar. "And I got a date with Heero."
"How did you manage to pull that one off?"
"We kinda had a fight. And ended up agreeing on lunch tomorrow."
Duo could just see Trowa at the other end of the phone rolling his eyes.
"So?"
"So, what?"
"You do like him."
"No, I like his cute butt, as I have said many a time before. As for his personality, we'll see. Look, I've gotta get up early, gotta make myself desirable for my date."
"Be careful, I don't wanna have to pick up the pieces again."
"I know what I am doing Trowa."
"I know."
"Good night."
"Night."
Duo hung up and sat there for a few minutes, thinking about Trowa's warning.
"Was that Trowa?"
Solo appeared in the doorway.
"He wanted to know I had gotten home safe. It's a long walk from the cinema."
"You turn more into a girl everyday."
Duo gave him a smile.
"Drink?"
"Barleys."
"As I said, you turn into a girl everyday."
Duo laughed.
"I have a date tomorrow with Heero." Duo informed his brother. Solo was now dressed in jeans and a plain white top. Solo handed Duo his drink.
"Just be careful."
"Trowa said the same thing."
"We just don't want you getting hurt again."
"Solo, Heero isn't like..." Duo paused. "Heero isn't like..."
"I know, we do care about you, that's all."
"That's gotta be one of the nicest things you have ever said to me."
Solo smirked. "Don't get used to it."
Duo swallowed his drink like it was just a shot of water.
"I'm off to bed."
"See you in the morning."
"Night bro."
"Night D."
Duo went off laughing, while Solo sat there, deep in thought.
