"Nope." Trowa answered, not caring if he was the only other plausible choice.
Heero took a breath then held it, turning on his heel and exiting the room as soon as he had his answer, less than eager to dare, but he saw the specs, and a partner would be best in this particular mission. He never saw Trowa's self-satisfied smile over having upset him. Heero was wary now, as his last option was to approach the newly returned pair. He didn't want to brave those two again without knowing what it was that kept setting them off. Against his own self-preservation, Heero knocked on their door. "Duo, Wufei?"
Wufei grumbled quietly, rolling against Duo and trying to ignore the noise. "Go way!" Duo waved a hand at the door dissmissively then dropped the appendage over Wufei's back casually, not once moving.
Heero heard the halfhearted shout and determined that they were most likely sleeping. "The other two have declined to accompany me, I need one of you to replace them. If you don't open the door, I will."
Wufei didn't really care what Heero was talking about, and let Duo cuddle up against him like a pillow as they both tried to go back to sleep. Ignoring Heero was becoming an art in this household.
Heero waited. Hearing no movement within he turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, expecting any number of things to greet his vision, but the one scene that did never even had occurred to him. Wufei ignored the creak of the door, and it was Duo who finally moved. Duo pried an eye open, and looked over Wufei, then groaned and dropped his head. "Fei, 'Ro is frozen in the doorway."
Wufei's reaction was a bit harsher than was really called for. He rolled over, and seeing the direction of the frozen boy's gaze, growled. "Get out!" He punctuated his comment by fumbling around and lifting the first gun his fingers touched to point it at Heero.
Heero merely blinked, his focus shifting slightly so he was only looking at Wufei with the gun. He was also ignoring it. "Quatre isn't going with me after all. You just got back, but I need one of you to come with me on this."
"I'm not going anywhere. Ask Trowa." Wufei grabbed on of the blankets off the bed and pulled it to the floor, covering Duo and himself. He did not feel comfortable at all, with Heero looking at Duo's naked form.
"I already asked. He said no. Likely because I upset him. Quatre is angry with me. That leaves the two of you." Heero was not going to leave without someone in this house agreeing to partner him. He doesn't want to risk what happened to the other two happening to him. He really doesn't want to just... disappear.
"Neither I, nor Duo, are going. So you can just turn around and go ask Quatre again when he's not angry at you anymore." Wufei turned his back to Heero again, pulled Duo close to him, and closed his eyes.
"Sorry Heero, Wufei's right, I'm not going anywhere an neither is he. Go ask Q again." Duo yawned sleepily and tucked his head back into a comfortable spot. Wufei nodded softly and moved a little, hoping he'd find that comfortable spot again so he could fall back asleep.
Heero glared at the pair for a moment. "Kuso! You're all trying hard to confuse me aren't you?" He then left the room, annoyed beyond all reason and going to sit in the living room. The next person he saw would *be* going with him!
