Ride of the Valkeries blasted out of the topless 1970 vintage black Stingray. (1) Heero watched as it whipped into a parking space in front of the store. The music suddenly ceased as a lanky figure stepped out. He frowned. �Quatre, your boyfriend is here.� He yelled as he continued counting in his drawer.
�Huh?� Quatre gave him a blank look then stood to catch a glimpse of Duo waltzing through the front door. �Duo, I can�t believe you did that today!�
Duo grinned. �So what did you tell him?� he asked as he strolled over toward the artist tablets.
�That I got off at six, but-�
�You �get off- at six? Isn�t that really personal to be telling someone when you first meet them?�
�Duo!�
�You said it not me!�
Blushing furiously, Quatre spared Heero a glance before kneeling back down to organize the stickers. �I�m going to have coffee with him after work.�
�Cute. You gonna kiss him?�
�Duo-�
�Gonna let him get past coffee for a dinner out?�
�I-�
�No wait, I got it. You are going to dazzle him with your charm and looks and conversation skills and then you�re gonna jump him when you two say goodnight?�
Quatre stood up, bright as a stop light. �DUO! I am NOT going to jump anyone whom I�ve just met!�
�He�ll be dissapointed then.�
�Would you quit it?�
�I don�t know,� Duo drawled, �this is fun. Don�t you think so Heero?� He turned to confront the silent figure at the counter.
Heero shrugged.
�See? He agrees.�
�He shrugged. Don�t you have to get back to your deliveries?�
�Yeah and? Trust me, he agreed.� Duo smirked at Quatre as he sauntered up to the counter and set the sketch pad next to the register. �So Heero? Wanna join me for coffee?�
�Baka.�
�Is that a yes?�
�No.�
�Why not?
Heero rang the pad of paper up. �Because.�
Duo turned to Quatre and smiled. �Someone�s had fun taking English.� He turned back to Heero, his smile less teasing; a little more serious. �Why not Heero?�
�That will be six fifty.�
�Please Heero?�
�I don�t date customers.�
Duo sighed and dug out his wallet. �All the worse for me, I don�t ask out friends co-workers. Just you.� He handed the money on over and grabbed the tablet off of the counter. �See you Q! Heero!�
The door thumped shut and the bell hit the glass sending a chime through the now quiet shop.
Heero turned away from the counter to fuss with the go-backs.
Quatre sighed and stood back up. He walked over to the counter. �He�s not my boyfriend Heero. I don�t have one if you couldn�t guess from that conversation.�
Heero�s hands stilled from their task of sorting through the basket.
�He�d probably kill me for saying this-�
�Then don�t.�
�He does like you. He buy�s all his drawing supplies here so that he can see you. Otherwise he�d go down the street to Craft Junction and get them for about a dollar cheaper. Why don�t you give him a chance?�
�I have to deal with Relena already. I don�t need someone else chasing me because of my looks.�
�Relena?� Quatre blinked as Heero glared at him. �Relena Doralin? You do know that she�s the president of the LGBSA(2) at the college right? She�s dating the treasurer, Dorothy Cata� Cata� Catalonia! That�s it.� He smiled. �She�s just chasing you to get your feathers ruffled. Dorothy and Duo have had quite the effect on her.�
Heero turned back to the go-back basket.
�Next move is yours Heero.� Quatre grabbed a return slip and wrote down a number. �Here�s his cell phone number. Give him a chance.� When Heero didn�t take the number, Quatre walked around the end of the counter and stuck it in Heero�s shirt pocket. �Half the time he�s in here he�s just trying to get some kind of a reaction out of you.�
Heero hoisted the heavy basket filled with paper and computer software. It just wasn�t possible.
