Perfect Soldier: Language Barrier, part one of the Perfect Soldier series.
Note: mild AU. The boys all speak in English to each other.
Warning: This fic is shonen-ai. If you have a problem with that don't read it. This starts out slow, but it is necessary for the rest of the story. It will be relatively short and lead into the second part of the series, Perfect Soldier: Mind Control. That part will deal more heavily into 1+2. That will be an AU look at Heero's past, but keep all other parts of the story intact.
Enjoy, R&R, update will come soon!
Prologue: Suspicions
Duo glared across the table at the stoic boy on the other side.
The pilots were all seated down at the large table within the house they shared in northern Nevada. The boys had had a long day hiking up the mountain near the house. Now, back for dinner they all sat down and were discussing the trip in great detail. Even Trowa was being a part of the conversation. However, Heero Yuy had not said one word all evening. He just kept glaring at who ever was speaking with narrowed eyes, arms crossed before him. Duo was tired of Heero's silence. Every time the pilots were together it was the same, even when it was one on one with Heero he barely spoke. When he did it was short sentences that often seemed random or were related to a topic long past.
"Quatre! The way you looked down that cliff! I thought you were gonna pass out!" Duo added into the conversation, hearing it turn toward Quatre's rather embarrassing bout of fear of heights.
"It was high!" Quatre defended.
"Warriors should never show fear!" WuFei put in angrily.
"It wasn't a war WuFei. It was a hike! Jeez Wu-man get a life!" Duo mocked
"Are you taunting me Maxwell!?" WuFei stood angrily hand on sword.
Heero tensed seeing the blade drawn, and his hand fell to rest on his gun. Pulling it out, he fired just above the blade. WuFei stopped and stared.
"Sword away, and don't kill Duo." Heero said as a way of explanation and sat down to polish his gun.
Duo had long also noticed the fact that Heero would often speak in an undertone to himself while conversations are going on. It seemed almost as if he were holding the conversation with himself a second time around. Duo was always puzzled by these actions and since he first noticed he took extra care to watch Heero during conversations.
********
Dinner ended without furthur incident and the pilots retired to bed. Duo was troubled by the actions of Heero. He had overreacted to WuFei's antics, almost as if he thought Wufei really was out for blood, rather than engaging in the peaceful teasing game the two constantly were a part of. Duo was concerned for the boy he was so fond of. Duo had for a long time cared deeply for Heero, even loved him. However, he didn't want to say anything until he knew how Heero felt. Though clear Heero didn't love Relena, Duo wanted to be sure if he would be accepted or rejected before he spoke out. Either as best friend or lover, Duo still wished to help Heero more than anything else. He would find out what was Heero's problem or die trying.

Review, say what you think. Stick with me here. This will move after this, the set up was necessary! Ja! ~Warrior of Forest~
