It was a quiet, rainy afternoon at a safe house. The boys were doing random things to keep themselves entertained. Heero was in his room typing on his lab top, looking up some information as usual. Wufei was in his room meditating, Duo was watching TV and Quatre was making some tea. Trowa was out shopping since he…drew the short straw.

Duo turned up the volume on the TV and sang along with the people on the show, very off key like. "We…are all FRIENDS! You're my friend! We all need Friiiiiieeeennndddsss!" Quatre thought the windows would break, or his eardrums as he approached Duo's door. He knocked loudly and called out, "Duo!" The music had stopped and Duo opened the door, "What is it?"

Quatre put a smile on his face and handed Duo some tea. "Oh thanks Q!" Duo grinned as he walked back inside and set the tea down. Q nodded, "Your welcome." and walked off towards Heero's room. He knocked on the door lightly and peeked in, "Heero?.." Quatre spoke quietly as he looked in. Heero didn't even budge from what he was doing.

A cup of tea was left on a table then the door shut as quietly as it was opened. As Quatre made his way to Wufei's room Duo shouted, "Heero! Q! Wufei! I'M BOOOORRRRREEEDDD!" Duo was ignored by all of them. Duo pouted and made his way towards Heero's room then poked his head in with a small grin. "Hey buddy!"

Heero didn't bother looking up or even acknowledge the long haired American. "Geez…and you still have no sense of being social." Prussian blue eyes slowly made their way onto the one standing at the door. "What do you want?" The Japanese boy spoke with the cold tone of voice he always had.

"Well...EXCUSE me if I'm not your girl friend." Duo huffed slightly. Heero narrowed his eyes and turned back to his computer. Duo growled…then smirked. He jumped over to Heero and started acting like Relena, "Heero, darling!" He batted his eyes. "How about we go get married now! It would be SO romantic. A winter wedding. And Just think! After this we'll have kids..and you'll be a Peacecraft just like me!"

Heero shoved Duo off the bed and grabbed his gun, "Get out of my room." He demanded in the icy tone of voice. Duo looked at the gun and stood up dusting himself off, "You wouldn't dare shoot me." Heero lifted up his gun, remaining silent. Duo looked at the black metal in Heero's hands then crossed his arms. "Go ahead I-" Duo was cut off as the sound of a gun went off.

Wufei and Quatre heard the shot from where they were and quickly made their way over to Heero's room. Duo gripped his arm. There were a few drops of blood as the bullet had most likely skinned him. He stared in shock at Heero wondering why he did that. There were many times before when he had tried to shoot him but always missed…but this time he was closer.

"W-What happened?!" Quatre asked as he entered the room. He was soon followed by Wufei who looked towards Duo then, to Heero, then to the gun. Duo smiled, a bit sadly. "Heero's..gun went off by accident." Quatre's eyes looked around the room then to Duo and let out a small gasp, "Your bleeding..Here Duo let me take care of that." He took Duo's arm and pulled him out of the room.

Wufei looked at Heero and narrowed his eyes, "You should put a safety on the gun or don't point it at your teammates with no protection on it." He then turned and left. Heero gripped the gun then slipped it away, he walked out of the room and walked outside. His body was placed against the wall, letting the cold rain fall against his skin. It soaked his green T-shirt and fell over his black pants.

"How's that?" Quatre said as finished bandaging Duo's arm. "Yeah its fine. Thanks Q-man." Quatre smiled and left the room taking the aid stuff with him. Duo walked towards the window and looked out sighing, sorta feeling guilty. He looked down seeing the Japanese boy being soaked with the rain, "That idiot.." He mumbled as he left his room and walking down. He leaned against the wall crossing his arms looking down at Heero.

Heero was hugging himself in a crouching position. He shifted his eyes towards the American at the door and stared at him. Duo sighed and started out, "Er..I'm sorry..I guess I went a little too far this time eh? I forgot about how much you care about her." Heero rolled his eyes and let out a small "Hn"

Duo frowned some, "Think ya can give me more than just two words, a grunt, or a glare?" Heero stood up staring at Duo straight into his eyes. "I have nothing to say to you." He turned and walked off. Duo, being as persistent as he was, he went after to Heero. "You know you could catch one hell of a cold out here…and ya know you ain't dressed in heavy clothing..That is…if the unemotional robot CAN get sick."

"It doesn't matter. I have a strong immune system." Heero spoke quietly as he walked. "Eh still..ya could catch a head cold or something." Duo mumbled, "But..don't listen to me." Heero glared slightly, "I won't." Duo sighed, "Can't we go back now? I'm tired and hungry..geez." Heero stopped and looked back at him, "Why are you following me?" Duo grinned, "Well we're best buddies! I would never leave you alone!"

"….Your not-" Heero closed his eyes and coughed softly. He blinked a bit puzzled. Was he getting sick? He never thought he would before. Duo raised an eyebrow, "See? Oi your stubborn." Duo took off his jacket and placed it on Heero's shoulders. Prussian eyes narrowed and the black jacket was tossed back. "Don't touch me.." Duo frowned slightly, "Listen to me your going to catch pneumonia if you don't put something on!"

Heero ran away from him into the night. "Heero! You..you..ARG!" Just then there were a few explosions in the sky that drew attention from them all. "Mobile suits..is..it..OZ?" Heero looked up into the air with his eyes as the blasts of golden and orange sprayed over the midnight blue.
