Heero's World

"I'm back!" Quatre called, walking into the house he and his fellow ex-pilots shared.

Trowa walked to the top of the stairs to greet him. "Welcome back, Quatre!" He quickly closed the distance between them. "Need any help with the groceries?"

"No, but thanks, Trowa." Quatre shifted the two large bags he held. "Could you do me a favor, though? Keep Duo away until I can set these down..." Quatre walked towards the kitchen, Trowa following close behind.

"COOKIES!!!" a very bouncy braided ex-pilot hoped down the stairs, landing on his hands and knees. Instead of getting up, he zoomed towards Quatre but was lifted off the ground but his shirt collar. He turned, trying to see who his attacker was.

A green eye stared into his own blue ones.

"Leave Quatre alone until he can set those down, Duo," his captor said. Duo, taking that as a threat, struggled out of Trowa's grasp and dashed back up the stairs, slamming the door to the room he and Heero shared.

"He's after me! You shouldda seen the look in his eye! I mean, it was TERRIBLE! Like...like he wanted to rip me apart and...stuff." Duo hide behind Heero, who was sitting on the bed reading a book.

Heero shut the thick novel with a snap and turned to his friend. "Duo, Trowa is not out to get you."

"But you weren't THERE! You'da seen it..." Duo shuddered dramatically.

Heero sighed and pulled Duo around in front of him. 'Duo, am I out to get you?"

Duo shook his head.

"I'd be the one out to get you if anyone. Unless," Heero looked at Duo with one eyebrow raised, "You took one of his cupcakes?"

Duo thought for a moment, and then shook his head.

Heero took Duo in his lap and looked into his eyes. "Good. Now, are you going to be a good Shinigami and stay out of Trowa's way?"

Duo nodded, staring up at Heero. Heero repeated his 'good' comment and stood, dropping Duo. From the floor, Duo scowled up at Heero and stood.

"That wasn't very nice, Yuy."

Heero smirked and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him. Duo strode over to the door and tried to turn the handle. But it was stuck. "HEERO!" Duo started pounding on the door, annoyed.

Heero opened the door when he heard his name, and had to step back to avoid being squashed by Duo Maxwell. "Hey, watch it!"

Duo puffed up and glared at Heero. Heero stared back, unphased by Duos glare. Duo started to turn different colors and Heero finally said something.

"Duo, you're about to blow..."

Duo turned blue, then purple, then he exhaled in Heero's face. Heero shut his eyes and tilted his head down, his hair blowing in all different directions.

"Duo, you ever heard of a breath mint?"

Duo looked at Heero, gulping in air trying to make up for lost oxygen. "Nope, can I eat it?"

Heero sighed and decided not to reply. He turned and started down the stairs when he felt a familiar weight jump onto his back.

"Duo, get off."

"No."

"Don't make me come back there..."

"What'cha gonna do bout it?"

Heero sighed again and walked out into the kitchen. He stopped right where he was and sniffed. Duo fell to the floor with a "thump" and cursed, but Heero followed the heavenly smell. It smelled like...like...like sugar.

Heero came to a set of cupboard doors. These two pieces of wood stood between him and his favorite snack...they would be dealt with mercilessly.

Heero used his death glare against them. They didn't move. He tried it again. They stood firm.

"So, it's gonna be like that, eh?" He cracked his knuckles and flexed his wrist. He looked ready to pound the two doors into the next solar system. Duo covered his eyes and managed to peek out every few seconds.

Instead of blowing the doors off, Heero calmly reached over and took the knob in his hand. It felt cool, like any other knob left alone would feel like. But this one was different. This one stood between Heero and something he'd gotten a strong taste for.

Heero pulled.

The door remained closed.

He pulled with both hands.

The door remained closed.

Heero growled at it.

The door remained closed.

Heero was glaring something awful at it as Quatre entered the room. Quatre, oblivious to Heero's antics and Duo's fears, walked over to the cupboard. He muttered a quick "excuse me, Heero" and opened the door. He pulled out a bag and shut the door. Quatre nodded at Heero and left the room.

Heero smirked at the cupboard doors. Quatre had just opened them. Heero grabbed the handle again and pulled.

They didn't move.

Heero left the room and returned with a chain saw. He started it and tried to saw the doors off.

They didn't move.

Heero tossed the saw aside and got his gun, planning to blow them off.

They didn't move.

Heero got a pair of scissors and tried to cut them off.

They didn't move.

Heero got a pair of Quatre's pink bunny slippers-Quatre had had an obsession with pink bunnies a few weeks ago.

They didn't move. And the bunnies wouldn't stop staring at Heero.

Heero tossed the slippers under the table and left, returning with Wing Zero, back from the dead. Zero powered up and used every single attack it could against the doors.

They didn't move.

Heero was about to give up when he had an idea.

"Duo, come over here and open these doors!"

Duo stood and walked over. He placed one hand on one handle and pulled almost effortlessly.

"Thank you." Heero searched around inside for a moment and withdrew his hand, holding two pink sticks. "GOT'EM!"

Duo looked up at Heero with the cutest, most innocent puppy dog eyes.

Heero glared, but couldn't resist. He handed one over to Duo. Duo grabbed it, then slipped around Heero and grabbed the other one. He turned and high- tailed it out of there.

Heero dashed after him. He made a grab for Duo's long, chestnut-colored braid as he slid under a coffee table and missed. Duo jumped on the couch, where Trowa was reading the newspaper and Quatre was just sitting, eating cookies, and staring at Trowa.

Quatre jumped up when Duo charged through and scooted closer to Trowa when Heero followed. Trowa didn't do anything until Duo slipped and ripped the newspaper in two.

"Alright, you're asking for it!" Trowa got up and tackled Duo, just as Heero ran was about to tackle him. They landed in a pile, Heero on top. He leaned over and took the stix from Duo. "Thank you very much."

Heero ripped open the top of one pixy stick and poured the powder in. Trowa grunted, annoyed at the position Heero had assumed- Indian-style right on Trowa's back.

Heero licked his lips of any sugar and started on the other one. Duo heard it and whimpered. Heero ignored him and finished his treat. He hoped down and sat next to Quatre on the couch.

"Yes, Heero?"

"Quatre, we need to go shopping..."

"As long as you buy, I'm going broke! Heero, that was the fourth pack this week! With sixty in each pack as well!"

Heero squirmed, uneasy at being scolded in such a way. "Ok, can we go tomorrow?"
