| Heero Yuy glared at the ground in annoyance, and trailed after his parents as they walked down the street to the hotel they would be staying in. His mother was not in the best of moods. Ever since they had arrived on the colony, all she had done was complain. Although this time, Heero had to admit, she *was* justified. "Why did you choose this place, Odin?! It's so...sleazy..." She glanced around as she said it, wanting to make sure she didn't offend any locals. He sighed in resignation and tried yet again to convince her of it's merits. "Look, it's fine! From what I read, there are lots of things to do here, and besides, when was the last time we went away together as a family?" She looked at her husband in anger, "There's 'lots to do here'?!" her voice was shrill, "From what I've seen there's nothing here but whores and bars!" He flinched from her harsh words, but being used to it just shrugged it off. "It's *fine*. And I'm sure Heero will make lots of new friends. Won't you." It was obviously not a question, and Heero looked away from his father's gaze. "Yeah..whatever..." he mumbled, making a mental note to purposely *not* make any friends. His father's obsession with his social life (or what little of it there was) unnerved him. His mother glanced at her husband caustically, "Yeah, I'm sure he'd be able to make some *really* good friends here!" She purposfully nodded distastefully towards one of the prostitutes leaning against a wall, "Heero, you stay away from them you hear me?" He nodded disinterestedly, and Heero's father rolled his eyes. Heero hadn't really been paying attention to anything until his mother had nodded her head to someone on the other side of the street; he had looked up and what he saw made his breath catch in his throat. It was one of the most beautiful people he had ever seen. He wasn't sure if they were a boy or a girl (but the long hair was just too nice to belong to a boy, right?) but he figured that it didn't really matter. He stared at the boy/girl for a moment longer, before finally deciding it must be a boy. //Well...not like I'll ever get to meet them, anyway.// he mused, and was about to turn away when he noticed that the gorgeous boy was staring right back at him. Heero gazed, transfixed for a while, until his father grabbed his arm and he was pulled away down the street away from him. Duo sighed as he saw the handsome stranger being tugged away down by the street by people who could only be his parents. Why couldn't he have been on his own? Duo was annoyed; he rarely got good looking customers, and that guy *had* seemed interested...ah well. Maybe he'd see him around sometime. NB: lol and if you're wondering how Heero's mother knew that Duo was a prostitute, um....well, let's just say she was having a psychic moment. ^_^ (well, unless he was wearing i sign saying 'i am a slut', but i don'think so. ^_~) |
