italics thinking
*....* action (......^_^) author's notes
The two pilots have been cataloging for over an hour but have only finished about 2 shelves of books. Natural, this job has made one of the two very, very bored. Besides the fact that they got to work together alone in there, Duo was still slowing going out of his mind.
Duo: "Oi, Heero. Lets stop for a while. This is just too boring."
Heero: "If you want to rest then go ahead."
Duo: "Oi. You're not thinking of finishing this right now are you. Did you forget? This is our excuse to be in here. We can't finish in one day."
Heero: "..."
Duo: *throws up hands in frustration* "Ah!!! Fine. I forgot you're not a normal person."
Duo just stood there silently for a while. Leaning against the table and studying Heero at work. He's always so concentrated. Does he ever think about anything besides work. Che. Why do I have to be drawn to this strange person. Doesn't like to talk, and fixes his own bones. If I had his personality I would be so depressed that I'd kill myself! *heaves a heave sigh* Who am I kidding.
Duo: "Ne. Heero. Let's talk for awhile. Is that okay?"
Heero: *looks at him* "........" *keeps typing*
Duo: *sighs again* "Anyways, I've been thinking. About things. About what we're doing." *looks for response from Heero. Doesn't get one so keeps going* "Do you ever think that it is useless?"
Heero: *stops typing* "Even if it is useless. This is the path that we chose. We have to accept it."
Duo: "Heh. So you can talk. Just not to me I guess. So..do you talk to Relena a lot?"
Heero: "What!?"
Duo: *snickers* "Come on. There is not way she can chase you all this time if you haven't given her some form of feedback."
Heero: "I....I don't know why. I don't give her anything. She just keeps coming after me."
Duo: "Hn. Maybe you have to be more specific. If you don't give people a firm answer, they will be left guessing."
Heero: "Hm....How should I act then?"
Duo: "Heh? Ah...Um...the way you want to I guess. Without holding back."
Heero: ".....I. I'll think about it." I should ask Heero exactly how he does want to act with her, and Duo.
"Arigato. Duo."
Duo: "Hn? Iya. Nande mo nai." *warm smile* This is enough. Just like this. [No. It's nothing.]
~Hallway~
Wufei: "Trowa. We need to talk."
Trowa: "Fine. But not now." *tries to walk by, but Wufei steps in front on him*
Wufei: "I'm not giving you a choice."
Trowa: "Hn. What's so important that you would risk getting in my way?" *hard look*
Wufei: "It should be more important to you than to me. At least I hope it is."
Trowa: "What are you talking about."
Wufei: "Aren't you looking for him now? You won't find him here."
Trowa: "!?" *eyes widen*
Wufei: "Hn. No need for the big reaction. He didn't leave. But you won't be able to find him. He won't let you. Even if you do find him. I won't let you near." *stands up tall, looks very intimidating*
Trowa: "Wufei...... Hn. You said you wanted to talk. Is this all you have to say?"
Wufei: "Hn. So I've got your attention. Let's go somewhere more private." *turns to leave*
"Fine." The two walked outside to the gardens. Not many people came here because it was a designated spot for the G-boys. The student body felt it was appropriote for the bishonen to be surrounded by flowers whenever they wanted. Wufei leaned against a tree that felt strangely familiar to Heero. Heero usually didn't come over here because it would bring back certain memories everytime he saw yellow flowers.
Trowa: "Well?"
Wufei: "Hn. You are one person that I will never understand."
Trowa: "Get to the point."
Wufei: "How long are you going to wear that mask? You give him hope, treat him with compassion. Give him the illusion that he is special to you. And then you take it all away. I'm unworthy to say that I understand love. But I do know that what you are doing is pure torture." *looks straight at Trowa*
"What is it that you want from him?"
Trowa: "I don't understand what you are saying."
Wufei: "Hn. It's very simple Trowa. I want to know what you want from Quatre. Are you out to hurt him? If not, then you have to change your attitude. Don't make him wonder about his place in your heart. And remember what kind of life that we lead. Time is precious. Regretting it when it's too late would be useless. But." *walks up to Trowa to stand nose to nose* "If you are out to hurt him. Just for your own pleasure, then know that I will not let it happen! You should be able to understand what I mean."
Trowa: "....." Wufei. You.....Trowa will not like this. "I understand. I'll keep that in mind. Wufei."
Wufei: "Hn. Good. But you still haven't answered my question..."
"Trowa-kun!"
Both heads turn to see Relena running over with a pack of her fans following behind. The pack stops before the garden and only Relena enters. Smiling her trademark smile, she bounded over to Trowa.
Trowa: "Relena." *Relena glomps unto his arms* "What are you..."
Wufei: "...." *deathglare at Trowa* "Could this be your answer?"
Relena: "Hm?"
Trowa: "No. Relena. What do you want?"
Relena: "Un-ah-ah!" *waving her finger* "It's what you want Trowa-kun."
Wufei: "Yes. What do you want Trowa-kun?"
Trowa: "Che!" Damn. Why all of this now!? Just what I need. More problems.
Relena: *smiles up at him* "Hm-hm. Trowa-kun. I know you don't like to talk a lot but I can see it in your eyes. The person you want is waiting for you ne." *wink*
Wufei: "Are you referring to yourself? Onna." [woman]
Relena: *looks indignantly at Wufei* "No of course not. Wufei. You wouldn't understand."
Wufei: "You could be right. So why don't you explain it to me?"
Relena: *evil gleam* "Oh? Are you sure you would be able to handle it?
Wufei: "Try me!"
So Relena bounds over to Wufei and whispers into his ear. Trowa watched for any reaction. Wufei's smirk sent chills down his spine but he didn't show it. Heero thought it was strange that Relena acted so bubbly. Usually she would be overwhelmingly serious and determined. She normally also has this air of class, like she felt she was better than everyone. But that is to be expected from a Dorian. This Relena was completely hyper. That on top of everything else, made Heero very afraid.
Wufei: "Hoh? I never thought Trowa. This really is a surprise onna." [woman]
Trowa: "Nani?" [what?]
Wufei: (to Relena) "Hn. I'll leave him to you. Trowa. I meant every word I said. Take heed. No regrets."
Trowa and Relena watched as Wufei struggled to get past Relena's fan club that had gathered at the entrance to the garden. The more aggressive ones tried to glomp him, while the shy ones just watched adoringly as he walked by. Wufei looked very dishevelled not to mention pissed off when he finally got through the crowd. Now, Trowa was left with Relena. Heero would not have been nervous, but since he was in Trowa's body and Relena was acting so strangely, he didn't know what to do.
Relena: "Sa. Trowa-kun. Lets go."
Trowa: "Where are we going?" Why is everybody trying to bring me someplace?
Relena: "Don't you want to talk to him? But you know, you may have to fight for him."
Trowa: "Him? Relena-sama. I'm afraid I don't follow."
Relena: "Oh don't be shy Trowa-kun. Do you really want to lose him to Heero. You are so much better for him. *under her breath* And Heero is so much better for me. Ha-hem! Let's go. He's in the library. That's who you were looking for right?"
Trowa: "..." It would be normal to lose him to Heero since he really is Trowa. Kinda sweet that he would go to the real one upon insinct. But....that means.. *sigh* Trowa will definately be angry.
The two march over to the library. Trowa stoic as usual and Relena regaining some of her grace. They left the pack behind after Relena dismissed them with a wave of the hand. Heero had to admit he was quite impressed by her control over the population.
Trowa stopped before the door to the library and took a deep breath. Trowa will probably be glaring daggers. So will Quatre. I'm not good with words. Maybe I can make up for it with action. But I don't think Trowa would approve. *slight blush* *coughs*
Relena: "Trowa-kun. Daijyobu?" [are you okay?]
Trowa: "I'm fine." *pushes door open and walks in*
Inside the library, Duo was busy chatting away with Heero. Well, Duo did most of the talking but Heero did reply once in a while. Trowa just stood there. Mouth hanging open.
Trowa: "Duo?" What's Duo doing here. Aren't I suppose to be dealing with Quatre? *looks at Relena*
Relena: *smiles at Trowa* "Ganbade!" [equivalent to 'lets go' cheer, a way to cheer someone on]
Trowa: "Nani?" What's going on. Does she..? She thinks? Oh damn. And she told Wufei? Oh sh$#!
Duo: "Oi! Trowa. Don't just stand there. Come over here."
Relena: "Sa. Trowa-kun. Iko." [Yes Trowa-kun. Lets go.] Perfect. Just perfect!
The two walked over. Well, more like Relena walked and dragged Trowa with her. When they got close enough Relena purposely pushed Trowa so that he would bump into Duo.
Duo: "Whoh. Careful there. *whispers* Can't handle miss thing either huh? I feel sorry for you."
Trowa: "..." *slight blush* Why is my face getting pink? Control yourself Heero! "Gomen." [sorry]
Heero: "What are you two doing here? This is not suppose to be a party."
Duo: "Whoh-ho! Heero just made a joke. It's going to rain today."
Trowa: "Nani!" [what!] I am not that deadpan. I do make jokes. Once in a while.
Duo: "he he he. Nothing. So Relena. What brings you here with the statue."
Heero: "Statue?" I am not a statue.
Duo: "Yes. What? I wasn't talking about you." *friendly punch in the arm*
Relena: *eyes blazing fire* "Ha ha. Duo-kun. I believe Trowa-kun has something to tell you."
Heero: "Trowa has something to tell him?" I don't have anything to tell him.
Relena: "Yes Heero. Maybe we should leave them alone. Hmmm?"
Trowa: "I don't think so." I don't know what Relena's going to do if I leave her with Trowa.
Relena: *pulls Trowa aside, whispers* "But this is your chance. Take advantage of it."
Trowa: "..." It would be if I was me and you weren't here.
Heero: "Trowa. I think maybe we should have a talk."
Trowa/Relena: "Now?"
Heero: "Yes now." Heero is not keeping his act up very well. Inexperience. "We need to talk."
Trowa: *slight sigh* "....." Everyone wants to talk to me today. "Fine. Lets go."
"Go where?"
All eyes turned to the sound of the voice. There stood Quatre, his hair was damp and a few strands stuck to his face. He was just inside the entrance and leaning against the wall, arms crossed in front of his chest looking very stoic. He wore black jeans that would make Duo proud. They were quite tight and hung low at the hips. His top was a plain white dress shirt with the first 3 bottons undone. The shirt clung to his body a little, making him look very sexy.
Duo: "Wow Quatre. Looking mighty fine!"
Quatre: *brushes hair back looking very cool while doing it* "Thank you. You're not bad yourself."
Relena: *eyes slightly bugged* "Hello Quatre-kun." Oooh. He looks hot. I wonder how Heero would look dressed like that.
Quatre caught her lingering stare. He strode over, took her hand, and kissed it lightly looking very much like a prince. Heero almost choked. Releasing her hand and smiling, he looked over at Heero, then Trowa.
Quatre: "So where are you two off to?"
Trowa: "...." He looks calm. Like nothing happened. How's that? I thought he was hurt.
Heero: "...." Damn he looks good. Trying to turn me on on purpose? Not that I can do anything now. But then, when has he ever dressed in anything but formal wear?
Quatre: *still smiling brightly* "Hello? Someone going to talk?"
Trowa/Heero: "....."
Quatre: "Hn. Not that I was expecting anything. So Duo. Did you have fun?"
Duo: "Heh?" *blushes* "Uh.....sure. More like bored to tears though."
Quatre: "Really? Well, better you bored than me. So why don't you take over helping Heero." *wink*
Duo: *deep intake of breath* "Why you selfish little bum. Ahh... Cause I'm such a nice guy its hard to avoid being taken advantage of. Alright Quatre. I'll help you" *smile,wink*
Quatre: "Great! Um..Heero, Trowa. Weren't you two going somewhere?"
Trowa/Heero: "...." *shakes head*
Relena: "No! Trowa-kun. You had something to say to Duo-kun. That's why you're here remember?"
Quatre: "Does he really? This should be interesting. Come on Trowa. Don't be shy. We're waiting."
Trowa: "...." *starts to sweat big time*
Relena: "Don't you think we should give them some privacy? Come on Heero. And Quatre, I think Wufei is looking for you." *goes over to Heero and tries to tug at him*
Quatre: "I think you need to shower more than I do Trowa dear."
Trowa: *sweats more* "...." What am I going to say?
Duo: *starts to laugh* "Really Trowa. You look like somebody put you on the grill."
Heero: "Trowa. I think we should go talk now."
Quatre: "Aww. Trying to save him from the hot spot Heero? That is so sweet! Maybe we should give these two some privacy. Or else we might get a nose bleed." *gives Heero the look*
Relena: "What? No. Heero is coming with me. Trowa is talking to Duo, and Quatre you're talking to Wufei."
"Who's talking to me?"
All eyes turn to the source of the voice again. Now Wufei was leaning against the door with a very amused look on his face.
Quatre: "Relena-san said you wanted to talk to me Wufei."
Wufei: "I never said that." *looks hard at Relena*
Relena: *sweatdrop* "W..Well I thought you were looking for him so..."
Quatre goes over to stand by Wufei. They start talking to each other in whispers. Trowa, in Heero's body, thought that they were a little too close for his liking and fixed a Heero Yuy death glare 2000 max Tm on them. Quatre saw and started to chuckle. Wufei looked back stone faced. Duo watched Trowa, the body, turn funny shades of pale while Relena kept tugging on Heero's arm.
Suddenly, Heero stood up and slammed both hands on the table. In the process of this motion, he knocked Relena over. She was now pitifully sprawled on the floor. A couple of books just had to fall on her to add the effect. No one seemed to notice though. They were too busy staring in aw at Heero's outburst. Quatre was the first to snap out of it.
Quatre: "Heero!" *helps Relena up* "That was completely inconsiderate!"
Heero: "Leave her."
Relena/Quatre: "What!?"
Heero: "I said leave her. There's no need to treat her so nicely. She shouldn't be here anyways. Relena. You must act your role. You are the symbol of peace and a princess of Sank Kingdom. There is no reason why you should be here, so leave!"
Duo: "Oi Heero!" This may be fun, but it is a little cruel.
Trowa: "Heero." I wouldn't even do that. What 's gotten into you.
Wufei: "Hn. About time. Women will only get in the way." Although that was meaner than it had to be.
Heero: *glares at everyone* "I don't have to play chit-chat with all of you. There are things that need to be done."
Relena: "Heero? Heero!"
Duo: *covers her mouth with his hand* "Ojyosan, I think you better be quiet for a while." [miss]
Quatre: "Heero? Are you feeling okay?" *goes back to stand next to Wufei* *whispers in his ear*
"I think we better get Relena out of here before he really tries to kill her."
Heero: *Glares at Relena/Duo* *turns to Wufei/Quatre deathglare +ice 100% max power* *goes over to Trowa, pokes finger at his chest* "We have to talk. NOW! Leave these...bakas." [idiots]
When he was sure Trowa would follow, he turned and walked over to where Quatre and Wufei were standing. Ch! You have courage Wufei. But. With his left hand on Quatre, and right hand on Wufei, Heero pushed them apart. He walked between the newly made space. Then turning around, "Trowa. MOVE!"
Wufei was shocked at the way Heero had man-handled him. That never happened before. He looked over at Quatre and saw equal surprise in his face. Hn. This gets better every second.
Trowa left first. Heero stayed at the door. After a few minutes he turned to Wufei and gave him a Touch-him-and-I'll-kill-you glare. Wufei sweatdropped as did everyone else in the room.
Heero. I don't know what happened or why Quatre is acting so friendly towards Wufei now. But if it is because of you then you are going to DIE. Even if my body goes with you!
And with one last deathglare, Heero left the room.
