Disclaimer: This is just fanfiction, non-profit and just for fun.
Notes: I don't know. It's just so easy to write a story that beats up on Relena's feelings. Not something I'm proud of, though. I also hate Duo and Heero here as well. The only one that comes off okay is Dorothy, and that's sad. :|

Summary: A double date goes uncomfortably wrong.




p>Relena smiled at Dorothy and her date with more than a hint of gratefulness. It had been too long since Duo had been out with someone, causing her a great deal of stress. She was especially worried because, without a nice girl to distract him, Duo spent more and more time with her boyfriend, and she couldn’t have that, now could she.

Heero was hers and hers alone.

Speaking of Heero, he didn’t seem as keen on the idea of a double date as she was when she mentioned it to Dorothy and Heero. He said something about the idea not being ‘right’ and rather manipulative.

She did not care. She’s seen how Duo acts around Heero when he thought they were alone. He’s always touching her Heero.

What he needs is a girlfriend. That’s what Dorothy is there for.

Heero glared at his hands as they laid clenched on his knees. Relena reached out and placed a hand on his clenched fists in an attempt to soothe his irritation concerning the whole affair.

Heero just continued to glare at their hands.

Two seats away, Duo squirmed again as Dorothy laid her hand on the inside of his thigh. What a nice, nice girl.

Duo stood up immediately, a blush visible in the dimness of the theater. “I’m going for some popcorn. Anyone want some?” Without waiting for a response, Duo moved past them (Dorothy, Relena, and Heero, in that order) in an attempt to get to the lobby.

As Duo made it past the threesome, Heero got up as well. “Wait. I want to get something, too.” Duo turned around for a moment and gave Heero a smile of gratitude before continuing to lead the way. The two boys headed to the lobby together.

Once they were out of sight, Relena let her annoyance show. “Dorothy, can’t you just stop scaring people away like that?” She crossed her arms and fumed before getting up as well.

Dorothy snorted. “Typical. You’re going down there to spy on them, aren’t you?” She crossed her legs and leaned into her seat. “No wonder he prefers Duo over you. At least that boy won’t get bend up out of shape if you’re playing footsie with his boyfriend.”

Relena refused to respond as she turned heel and headed to the lobby.

She never made it.

In the shadows of the hall that lead to the seats, Duo and Heero were whispering harshly to each other. Heero’s hands were on Duo’s shoulders as he pressed the other boy against the carpeted wall. Duo’s hands were on Heero’s waist.

“I didn’t want you to come either, Duo,” Heero continued. “Hell, I didn’t want to come here. Just be patient.” He brushed his lips against Duo’s, causing the other boy to lean into the touch.

As she watched the light touch bloom quickly into a heated embrace, she could not stop the gasps from leaving her lips. She had suspected for so long, and now she had proof.

She could barely see pass her tears as she made her way back to her seat. The two boys returned, sans popcorn and full of guilty faces, soon after.

The only person of the bunch having any fun for he rest of the night was Dorothy.
