A/N: Here's a small drabble I found in the dark recesses of my computer. Hope you like it:) There's a hint at 1x2…but you can decide.
"I can't take it anymore. Yuy, how in the hell do you hide your emotions so...perfectly?"
It had always bugged Duo to no end how his comrade was seemingly void of emotion. He knew that it was all just an act, but Duo had never met such an amazing actor. Not even with all the scheming children from L2 he had grown up with.
Heero didn't even turn to face Duo, but his body tensed up. Grabbing a mug from the cupboard overhead, he replied in a monotone. "I hide nothing."
Though Heero didn't see it, he could practically feel Duo roll his eyes behind him. "My ass," he murmured, probably to himself, Heero thought with slight amusement. He wondered when the pilot would ever learn to keep his thoughts to himself. "Dude, really. How do you do it?" he asked again, this time with even more frustration evident in his voice.
A chuckle almost escaped Heero, but he stopped it in the nick of time. Carefully handling his steaming cup of coffee, Heero turned to face Duo, leaning against the counter. Duo glared up at him from his seat at the six-chaired, kitchen table. The sight was too much. Heero cracked a miniscule smile. This caused Duo's eyes to go wide and his mouth popped open into a small "o" of surprise.
Then a thought came to him. "Are you doing that just to get me off your case?" he huffed, crossing his arms over his stomach as he leaned back in the creaky, wooden chair. Duo sometimes felt that Heero thought Duo was inferior to him. And that pissed Duo off.
Heero's smile disappeared and he turned serious once again. "Duo, I don't hide anything. If I did, you would be one of the few I would tell," he concluded, taking a tentative sip of his coffee. It was still very hot, but Heero had gotten used to chugging scalding coffee, after all the times he was unexpectedly rushed onto a mission of some sort.
A small blush flitted across Duo's face at Heero's admission. He fiddled with the end of his braid. Maybe Heero isn't so inhuman after all…
