Disappointment.
It was nice having a day off today, got to go to school with Mother and help teach little kindergarteners who try and invite me over to their houses. :] Sorry about that last post! However, seems that having a sucky time in RL is pretty good for feeding the fanfiction muses. Kind of cheesy. :] Enjoy!

Heero trudged in exhaustion into the dorm room he shared with his best friend; his last final of the day had left him weary. Looking around the small room that was their "living" room, Heero was surprised to find his said best friend staring forlornly at a computer screen perching precariously on the desktop in front of him. Curious as to what exactly had caused the expression, Heero set down his heavy book bag and slid his shoes off before walking quietly across the room to peer down at his companion. Sitting rather innocently on the screen was an eBay page reading that the last of the "build your own bot" interactive toys had been bought as of fifteen minutes prior.
"Duo?" Heero questioned softly, causing the boy in front of him to turn away from the laptop in surprise. Upon seeing his roommate, Duo sighed and shut the device firmly, neglecting to even close the eBay window or shut off the quiet music that echoed tinnily out of weak speakers. The boy then pulled himself out of the uncomfortable, wooden chair he had been seated in and moved the few steps it took to get him to an equally uncomfortable couch, throwing himself onto the dilapidated piece of furniture. Heero raised an eyebrow in confusion before shrugging and following his friend. The two sat in silence for a few moments.
"They sold out." Heero jumped in surprise at the sudden announcement and turned his head to the previously silent boy beside him. Duo sighed softly, giving Heero a weak and unconvincing grin.
"I had just finished making an eBay account and when I got back? Poof. Gone." Heero nodded slightly, not quite understanding why a simple robot kit that could be bought at many stores around the world was producing such a negative impact on his best friend.
"Yeah, I know it's silly. And I guess I'm not really upset that I didn't get the damn set. It was just the expectations, you know?" Heero nodded again, but Duo caught the hint of confusion in his eyes with no trouble and a strained laugh escaped his lips.
"I was just disappointed." Understanding dawned on Heero and he nodded a final time, finally comprehending just what Duo was talking about. "Everything has been kind of disappointing this week." Another sigh. Heero cocked his head, waiting for Duo to continue.
"I mean, Hilde's got that new boyfriend of hers, right? And when she started datin' him, she said 'Duo, I promise this isn't going to affect our friendship.' But you know what? She hasn't even talked to me for the past week! I tried callin' yesterday, just wantin' to get an ice cream or bitch about school or somethin', ya know? And that boyfriend picked up the phone, I don't even know his name, and told me that Hilde was 'busy' and didn't have time to talk to me." Duo threw his hands up in the air in exasperation, then grabbed one of the mildewed sofa cushions and buried his face in it. Heero couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at the disgusted expression his braided companion made, receiving a second cushion flung in his face for his efforts.
"Shut up, Yuy. You're not making it any better." Duo growled moodily. Heero smiled apologetically at his friend, and the annoyed look on Duo's face melted away as his continued his tale of woe.
"And I'm not into her or anything, I mean she knows I don't like chicks, but she was still one of my best friends, ya know?" Heero agreed amiably. "And then that terrible Classics of American Literature final! You saw me, I studied for five damn hours on Sunday! I only took like three breaks too! After all, a man can't think on an empty stomach." Heero had to bow down to this faultless logic. "And then I went to look at the grades that were listed up on the bulletin board today..." Duo trailed off and an unhappy noise escaped his mouth. Unbraiding and rebraiding his hair in an agitated habit, he sat quietly for a moment. The other boy watched him in silence, but after a few minutes had passed without any continuation of the story Heero felt he had to take action.
Seeing as he wasn't much of a man of words, Heero awkwardly draped a strong arm, muscled from years of practice in martial arts, around his friend's shoulders. Duo hummed contentedly at this rare show of affection and began to play it up for all it was worth, snuggling deeper into Heero's loose embrace and burrowing his freshly braided head into the concave of the other boy's shoulder. He inhaled deeply, enjoying the spicy, cinnamon scent that always lingered on the Asian boy. Heero smiled gently at the gesture, quite thankfully out of view of his best friend, and tightened his grip in comfort and reassurance, his hand gliding gently up and down the other boy's arm.
"Anyway, when I went to look at the board I saw that I had a 91.44%! Just .1 more points, 'Ro, and I woulda had an A!" The hand halted suddenly.
"You mean, you got a B?" Heero asked incredulously. Duo nodded his head as well as he could in its current position, a frown painted on his normally cheerful features.
"You were that upset about a B?" Duo moaned mournfully.
"I know! It's awful! I spent all those hours studying, and for nothing! I mean -- " The boy paused as he felt his human pillow begin shaking underneath his head and he looked up in alarm. He was not expecting what he saw. Heero had a hand laying across his eyes and his mouth was upturned in obvious mirth, chuckles escaping his lips. As he felt Duo move below him, he pulled his hand away, laughing even harder at the shocked look on the braided boy's face. Taken by an impulse he couldn't even begin to control, Heero leaned over, attempting futilely to stop snickering, and pressed his lips firmly to the warm mouth below his.
After a blessed moment of contact, Heero realized what he was doing and pulled away in alarm. He sheepishly looked over at the boy sitting awkwardly against the back of the sofa, a deer in the headlights look caught on his pale face. Heero shrugged slightly and bit his lip nervously, scooting away from his best friend.
"I'm sorry about your disappointing week," Heero offered up delicately, and the deer in headlights look vanished, replaced by an ever-widening grin. Before he half knew what was happening, Duo had grabbed Heero's face with his two callused hands and confidently pressed his lips against the other's. This kiss, unlike the first gentle one, took a bold turn down the road of adventure. Lips and tongues and teeth met and danced alongside each other, causing the two involved to completely forget time itself. By the time they pulled away, both boys were completely out of breath and Duo was snuggled against the couch cushions as Heero lay on top of him. A mischievous grin danced across the braided boy's face.
"Now that, that wasn't disappointing at all."
