"Say Omae O Korosu."
Grunt
Big, bright, shining violet orbs sparkled pleadingly.
"Puhlease."
"You do know what that means?"
"Yes."
"Then why do you want me to say it."
Duo rolled his eyes and gave a puff of frustration. Using his right hand he held up three fingers in a scouts honour. "I solemnly swear that I won't pester Heero Yuy the Gundam pilot, aka the person standing before me for the rest of the day if he says omae o korosu in a really threatening manner."
Glare
"No. I don't want the trademark glare. I want the-"
"Omae O Korosu."
Big, bright, shining violet orbs sparkled mischievously.
"Now that wasn't so hard was it? Now hurry up and get dressed so we won't be late. I can't stand it when Une gives one of her punctuality speeches."
Heero watched his partner not walk or run but skip towards their room. He slowly shook his head slightly from side to side.
"What have I gone and done now?"
Later that day, lunchtime at Preventer's cafeteria….
"I see that you forgot to bring lunch. And on a Wednesday too…"
Heero stabbed his mystery meat a few times with his fork. "Blame the baka. He forgot to go grocery shopping yesterday. No groceries. No lunch. "
"Oh…I see. Speaking of Duo, uh do you know where he is?"
"Probably holding up the line chatting with the new cafeteria girl. I don't know-"
Omae O Korosu. OMAE O Korosu. OMAE O KOROSU.
There was complete silence as more than a hundred pairs of eyes turned towards Heero. When they saw the confused look on the Japanese man's face they used their ears to find the source of the noise.
Omae O Korosu. OMAE O Korosu. OMAE O KOROSU.
"Hello. Preventer Duo Maxwell speaking. Oh hi Hilde. pause Yea I'm on lunch right now. pause Mmm, would I ever. Hey did you know about the new girl here? She works at the cafeteria and boy is she nice. She told me that every Wednesday was mystery meat day. long pause Well how was I supposed to know? Heero always packs my lunch, he's like a mommy to me. He's so cute in that way? pause Anyway I'm definitely taking up your lunch offer. Meet you outside Sammy's Café in ten. See ya babe."
Duo ended the call and looked at the people who were staring at him.
"Hey what are you all looking at? Never seen a guy talk on a cell phone before. Geesh! I take it that you all listened into my conversation too? Well then see ya all later cos I have a lunch date."
The people in the cafeteria turned back to face each other. Noise levels increased to their previous volumes and conversations resumed.
"You must say he's pretty smart to change his ring tone to something that will get his attention, right?"
Heero growled. "Usually I just let things pass, but this time I will get my revenge."
