<b>Part 1</b>


"He won't kiss you?" Hilde exclaimed. Her violet eyes were wide and she gaped across the metal table on the patio of the student center at her friend, Relena. The sun grinned in the afternoon sky on a late April day. The three friends and college seniors had time after their classes to enjoy some ice tea and bright sunlight.

Dorothy rested her chin on the top of her hand. "Who would have guessed Heero Yuy was a prude?" A light breeze picked up pieces of her long blond hair and blew them into her face

Relena bent her head and stared down at where her fingers had twisted together in her lap. "I didn't say that? I just said he won't kiss me."

"I can't believe he won't kiss you." Hilde's voice sounded exasperated. "How long have you two been going out?"

Relena picked at a thread hanging off the end of her jacket.

"He hasn't even asked you out?" Dorothy's smooth, buttery voice asked.

"I don't know if we're going out. He's just?kind of always there." She untwisted her hands and stared at the lines of her palms. "I want to go out with him." She glanced up at her two friends, an image of Heero taunted her mind. His dark brown hair swept over his forehead in a dangerous, if terribly sexy manner; his deep blue eyes, but most of all? "I want to kiss those full, beautiful lips--"

Hilde chuckled. "She's got it bad."

"I'm glad someone wants to kiss him." Duo spun a chair around and deposited himself in the seat at the end of their table. His long braid swished behind him with the move. "Goodness knows he scares away most of the female population."

"Well, not most of them?" Relena murmured.

"Word of advice:" Duo said and held up a finger like he was giving them all tips. "Never take him to the mall to pick up chicks. It's a disaster."

"Thanks for your words of wisdom," Dorothy said and rolled her eyes.

Hilde scowled and threw a balled up napkin at her boyfriend. "And when were you out with him picking up women?"

"Uhhhhhh," Duo visibly cringed. "Not any time recently?"

"Funny, I could have sworn I saw Yuy at the mall this weekend," Dorothy said; she brought up her right hand to study her perfectly manicured nails. "And you were slinking behind him, wearing your jacket collar up, and a pair of dark sunglasses."

"That was not the ill-fated trip I was referring to. That was a NOTHER trip." Duo crossed his arms and stuck his bottom lip out into a pout. With his full cheeks, he looked like a two year old who didn't get his favorite dessert. "I don't like to be seen in public with him."

"That's cause people always think you're gay," Hilde said with a laugh. She reached over and ruffled the top of his brown hair; it had gained some golden blond streaks over the last few weeks ? in the sun.

"No, it has more to do with the fact that security almost had us arrested and taken downtown. And I don't do prison showers."

"Hold that thought. You really?" Hilde's mouth twitched and a giggle bubbled up from her stomach. "You really have to?" Her heart-shaped face contorted as she tried not to laugh. Another chuckle escaped. "You have to tell that story - but after we figure out how to solve Relena's problem."

Duo scowled at his girlfriend and threw the ball-o'-napkin back. He mouthed the words: 'You suck', before turning back towards Relena.

"If it was the holidays, we could help you get him under some mistletoe."

Dorothy rolled her eyes. "Well, that's only nine months away."

Relena shook her head. "I can't wait that long. I want him to kiss me now."

"He's not here, now," Duo said and glanced over his shoulder. "Is he? He'd better not be?"

"I don't mean now, now." Relena leaned forward and rested her head on her arm. "I mean like this weekend now." She closed her eyes and imagined him again. His lean, angular jaw, his strong shoulders? She sighed. "I mean the next time I see him now."

"Oh."

Hilde knocked on the table. "Earth to Relena. Have you tried kissing him?"

The college senior straightened up in her seat. "I don't believe in that. The way I was raised, I'm supposed to?" She glanced down at the thread still hanging from her jacket. She twisted it around the index finger of her right hand. "I should be able to flirt in order to get my way."

"Nice." Hilde sounded unimpressed.

"I don't really like that, either." She glanced up at her friends. "But, I'm still 'old fashioned' in that way." Relena shifted in her seat and crossed her right leg over her left. She stretched her skirt over her knees and folded her hands in her lap. "I believe the man should be the one initiating the kissing in the relationship."

"The relationship you don't know for sure that you have with a man who won't take the initiative in the kissing department." Dorothy's voice sounded like sand paper on Relena's last nerve. It was one thing she couldn't kiss those wonderful lips of his, it was quite another to have someone else rub her nose in it.

She scowled. "I swear there are some times when he looks at me like he wants to undress me, but then he won't even get close enough to KISS me."

"I don't know what to tell you." Duo shook his head with a grim expression on his face ? like someone had just died. "I say you ask him out and stick your tongue down his throat when he goes to answer. Other than that," he said with a shrug. "I have no advice."

"Carpe diem, as they say." Dorothy lifted her glass of tea in a mock toast.

"I don't know?"

Duo stood up from his chair, and turned it back around. It scraped against the concrete as he pushed it back under the table. "Welp, I'd better get goin, ladies. Dorothy." He brought two fingers up in a salute.

"Ha. Ha." Dorothy tossed her hair and shot Duo a scathing look. "That was sooooo clever."

"Heh. Gotta run!" He patted Relena's shoulder and kissed the top of her head. "Keep your chin up, Rel, I'm sure he'll come around." The boy with the long braid headed towards the door back to the student center. He tossed a wave over his shoulder. "Later!"

"Maybe?" She fidgeted with her jacket hem under the table. "Maybe he doesn't kiss me because there's something wrong with me?"

I've read this one, haven't I? On LJ? I don't quite recall if I read the parts after this.

Ah well. I still want to see more!

[blackrose]

You've probably read it. I've written 2 parts, and a little bit of how I want it to end. But, I've been slacking on finishing it...

I also have a fic entitled Kwik Wash, and I have no idea what I'm doing with it. And really, I can't concentrate on any of that right now because I'm due to have Missing ch 31 done this weekend....

Maybe opening the damn file would help, eh?

*HUGS YOU*

[Morrighan]

Eh, that might be it. ^^;

And get on <i>Missing</i>!!! You're killing us here!!

[blackrose]

BAH! I hate it! Right now, I think these chapters are semi-boring, but I need to get them finished to get to the end - and the good stuff.

Trowa: I like these chapters.
Rose: I don't hate the chapters. I hate having to wait to get to the good part. That's all.
Trowa: Isn't this the good part?
Missing Readers: NO!

[Morrighan]

*kicks Barton* Silence, you!!

[blackrose]

Trowa: DAMMIT! I want a kiss!
Heero: What was that? You want to die?
Trowa: O_O;;;

[Morrighan]

Exactly. Show him who's boss, Heero. *evil grin*

[blackrose]

Trowa: *sniffs* No one loves me.
Quatre: Me either.
Trowa: *looks at Quatre*
Quatre: *looks at Trowa*
Trowa: Gotta go find Midii.
Quatre: Wonder what Dorothy's doing....

[Morrighan]

Well, if I only knew earlier that <i>that</i> would send them packing....
