Fruits0basket02: Hello! I decided to take a break from 'The Way of the Cat'. I am stuck and I don't know how to continue it but I have a good idea to end it. Well, this is one of my other favorite couples. My first short fanfic was 'A Moment In Time'. It was about Sakura and Rock Lee; not much romance but it was sweet and fluffy! Anyway, enjoy this short little drabble.
Duncan: Please Read and Review, or I'll hunt you down and kill ya!
Gwen: You don't really mean that, do you?
Duncan: (laughs) Of course not!
Listen To Your Heart
The stars were so pretty. Sparkling. It was a lot different from the studio lights and the cameras constantly watching them. She was surprised to notice that no camera men would be here, since it was a secluded spot and campers would be here to cool off or with a secret lover. Gwen sighed softly, it was so peaceful and quiet. The goth girl laid down on the soft grass, staring up at the stars, not noticing someone walking up until they towered over her. "Oh, hey Duncan." Gwen smiled at the punk male as he sat down beside her and stared at the stars. Gwen noticed he was a lot quieter than he normally was; she pointed at the stars, "Look, there is the big dipper."
"I can't see it." Duncan bluntly stated with a frown on his face as he glared up at the sky and Gwen knew something was wrong. She sat up, sighing then looked at her friend.
"Duncan, what's wrong?" Gwen asked setting a hand on his shoulder and a spark ran from her fingertips to her chest; it hurt a little. Duncan didn't look at her or speak for what seemed like forever until he finally sighed.
"Courtney." Duncan said with defeat, "She doesn't think we belong anymore because she is jealous of you and I think she may be hitting on Trent." Gwen flinched at the sound of her ex-boyfriend's name but she understood what he was getting at; she had been the one for breaking up with Trent because of his obsessive 9 thing and being overly jealous of Duncan. She tried telling him they were just friends but he didn't believe her at all; maybe he saw right through her. She didn't really like Trent that much anyway, Duncan was more her guy.
"I understand how you feel." Gwen softly said looking back up at the stars, "Trent wasn't exactly the guy I was looking for." She sighed. It felt like she was truly listening to her heart now. Never did she like Trent, sure he was good-looking and he played guitar but he was never into what she was. "Duncan." She breathed, almost hesitate to say what was on her mind.
"What do you mean the guy you were looking for?" Duncan asked, giving his friend a strange look and a slight blush crept cross his face. Boy, she looked so beautiful in the moonlight and his chest tightened. "Um…" Duncan didn't know exactly what to say and he let his gaze wander back to the stars. It was their last night together alone before they brought Trent back and Duncan had a bad feeling that Trent would try to win Gwen's heart again. He couldn't see her get hurt again. He bit his lip.
"Duncan, your face is red. Are you okay?" Gwen asked. Duncan looked away but Gwen only moved until she was in front of him and took his face in her hands. "Duncan," She said sternly, "Are you okay?" Duncan stared into her eyes as she stared into his. They didn't know who moved first as their lips crashed upon each others. Duncan wrapped his arms tightly around Gwen's small waist as her arms snaked their way around his neck. To them, it felt like time had stopped in its tracks. Gwen was the one who broke the kiss and sat there, on Duncan's lap, staring at him. Her face was a bit red, meaning she was blushing and Duncan tried to hide the smirk.
"Didn't know you were such a good kisser." Duncan teased, pulling her closer and it caused the goth girl to blush even harder. Duncan smiled, maybe he didn't need Courtney and her uptight ways. She picked the money over him when he sprained his ankle and tried to make up by calling him 'Honey' when he had the money in his hands. That wouldn't be classified as a 'touching moment' and she sure wasn't so surprised when he got voted off Total Drama Island and came to the island.
"Duncan," Gwen voice drifted into Duncan's thoughts and he noticed she was looking down at her lap, "I think…." She paused, "I think I may like you. I mean, more than just friends." Duncan's eyes widened a bit. 'Does she really mean it?' Duncan thought, he couldn't believe she just admitted that. Gwen looked up at her friend and leaned in closer, pressing her lips onto his and wrapped her arms tighter around his neck. Duncan kissed back, it was innocent enough until it became a full make out session with Gwen pinned to the ground underneath Duncan.
"Well, I didn't expect this." Gwen and Duncan looked up only to see Heather towering over them with a camera, "You guys have moved on quickly. Should've guessed that you two would end up together, you guys are so alike." Before Gwen or Duncan could react Heather ran off into the forest, camera in tow. Both sat up and away from each other, faces red as tomatoes. What were they thinking? They weren't, that's what. What were they going to do? Heather was sure to show that to their exes and the other campers, not like they care anyway. Duncan glanced back at Gwen, who seemed to be in deep thought as well about the same topic, so he moved closer and softly kissed the back of her neck. He smirked as he felt her shiver underneath his touch.
"Duncan, what are we going to do?" Gwen asked as he placed another kiss on her neck and she felt him frown against her skin. She knew he wanted to avoid the topic but she couldn't help but worry; what if Trent and Courtney wanted to get back with their previous crush? Moments went by as Gwen waited for Duncan's answer but he didn't as he placed kisses along her neck and head. She was getting a bit frustrated with her friend, now crush, as he didn't answer her question and she turned to face him, "Duncan!"
"What? I don't want to think about it right now because it will ruin the mood." Duncan stated with a frown as he glared at the goth girl and she glared right back, not faltering under his gaze.
"Heather already ruined the mood." Gwen said, "I didn't want to stop but she came. What do we do?" Tears were starting to form at the edges of her eyes and Duncan felt miserable. He pulled her close to his chest and the tears fell free from the female's eyes as she grabbed onto the back of his shirt for support, so they wouldn't fall. Duncan started fuming; why was Heather such a witch? Heather always seem to give poor Gwen a hard time; first with Trent and now.
"I'll think of something Gwen. Don't worry about it, okay?" Duncan said as he kissed the top of her head and he felt her nod against his chest, "Okay, let's get back to camp and try to avoid anything until the morning." Duncan stood up with Gwen still clutched onto him and they both walked back to camp.
*~The Next Morning~*
"5:30 Wakeup call!" Chris hollered into his megaphone and a group of moans and groans could be heard from both trailers. Izzy was the first to skip out of the girls' trailer, she seemed a lot more cheerful then the rest of the females that followed. For the males, they didn't bother arguing this early and Owen was last out. "Okay Campers. You all know that we are bringing back a couple of the ex-campers. One is Trent." Chris said, watching Gwen's reaction but she just blinked tiredly, "And the other is Courtney." He looked over at Duncan, who just blinked. "Well, this is a bummer. Hoping to get some reactions out of some of the campers, anyway, today's set is School!" Chris happily stated with a huge smiled that always seemed to be plastered on his face, "Chief is the teacher and you all must get to class on time." No reaction from the kids, "Which is in five minutes!"
"Five minutes? How are we going to get to the set in five minutes?" Leshawna asked setting her hands on her hips and giving Chris a glare.
"I know." Duncan said then took Gwen's hand and started running, "We run." He laughed at the other campers' faces as he took Gwen's hand. Gwen stumbled behind him, still sleepy from the lack of sleep last night because she stayed up late worrying although Duncan told her not too. Duncan and Gwen were the first to arrive at the 'school' and as they stepped into the class, Duncan's jaw dropped. "How'd you all get here so fast?" He stuttered.
"We all took the 'bus' stupid." Heather spat as she smirked, lightly waving the camera in her hand and Gwen's face went red. Both the teens went and sat in the back row as Chief walked through the door.
"Okay kids." He said as he walked to the chalkboard, "I am here to tell you about the rules. First, you must do what I tell you to do. Second, you must eat the lunch food. Third, try to make it until the end of the day." He looked at each teen with those cold, emotionless eyes until they landed on Duncan and his eyes went to fury. The first couple of hours droned on and Duncan was near sleep. God, the only reason he wanted to come to this dumb place was to get out of school and juvie. He looked over at Gwen, who seemed to be listening to what Chief was saying but Duncan knew she was daydreaming. He stood up and everyone looked back at him; he walked to Gwen, lifted her up and tossed her over his shoulder.
"Well, we are outta here." Duncan said as he walked out the door then called back in, "Good luck to you all." Gwen didn't fight and she caught a glance at a fuming Courtney and a hurt Trent as she was carried out the door. Strangely, she didn't care. She was with the guy she truly wanted to be with and now here she was being carried off by him. She smiled and bent her head back and gave him a peck on the cheek, watching as he smiled and kissed her back. Yep, love was happy once you follow your heart.
Fruits0basket02: And I'm done! I got the idea from a couple of fanarts I saw on DeviantArt, so I will thank them for drawing the pictures and inspiring me! And I want to thank all the people who read this. THANK YOU!!!!
Owen: Ahaha! This was REALLY good.
