A/N: this (the prologue) started out as just a little something to try and get the plot bunnies thinking again, and it worked, resulting in the other chapters.  The prologue and first chapter are rather short, but they should get a bit longer as the story continues.

Disclaimer: I own the box set of DVDs to Gundam Wing.  Unfortunately, owning the DVDs does not constitute ownership of the series.  Don't sue me, it's not like I'm making money off this crappy stuff I call fanfiction anyway.

Prologue

            Silence filled the line for what felt like eternity.

            "You…what?!"

            "Don't make me repeat it…"

            "But…how…"

            "How do you think?  I dunno, I was drunk, and, well…you know…"

            "Alright, that explains your end of the situation, but…"

            "I don't know!  I barely remember it!  One minute I'm ordering a drink, the next thing I know I'm waking up next to him with one helluva hangover!"

            "Then how do you know you…"

            "You know, man.  You know."

            "Oh hell."

            "You're telling me."

            "Have you talked to him?"

            "Are you kidding me?!  I may be nuts, but I'm not suicidal!  I got up and got the hell outta there as soon as I realized it!"

            "…so…what are you gonna do?"

            "I dunno…Avoid him the rest of my life, maybe.  I mean…well, fuck, man.  You know I wanted to, but…"

            "Not like that?"

            "Definitely not like that!  If it was gonna happen, well, I wanted it to mean something!"

            "Completely understandable.  But…do you really think it's a good idea to try and avoid him?"

            "Hey.  I never said it was a good idea."

            "Haha.  Personally, I think I'd try to talk to him."

            "I know you would.  But I'm not you."  A pause.  "Hey…You have a mission with him coming up, don't you?"

            "Yeah, why?  I'm not going to talk to him for you…"

            "I wasn't even thinking that.  Just…well…could you try and see how he's taking it?  You know, space heart stuff."

            "Well, I'll try.  But you know how well he guards himself.  I can't make any promises on results."

            "I know, I know.  Thanks, man."

            "You're welcome."

            "Hey, I gotta go.  Mr. Personality himself is here."

             "Alright.   I'll give you a call after the mission, then."

            "Thanks again.  I owe ya."

            A light chuckle.  "Goodbye, Duo."

            "Bye, Quat."

A/N: Okay.  Let me know what you think!  I've got more written, so I'm going to post more soon, but I want reviews!  Thanks for making it this far!
