A/N: What can I say? Teachers and fathers are amusing. Also, Heero's eyebrow is a character, deal with it. First foray into Gundam Wing writing since it aired on TV. The characterization, ah, I can't forget it. I'm concerned about Duo's lines though: are they too casual, too formal? Did I succeed in conveying his Duo-ness at all? And Heero's one of those characters who hate me and want me to die. I hope I conveyed his sense of humor well? Mine's not nearly as dry as his, but I love that kind of humor and a lot of my friends are that way, so hopefully I was able to keep him dry enough.

Summary: Duo convinces Heero to watch the clouds with him. Heero remains a jackass.

DISCLAIM'R: Your grade's going to plummet into the unknown depths of hell. Do your math!

"C'mon Heero," Duo pleaded, hands on Heero's lap in paw-shaped gloves, whiskers and a black nose painted on, wearing a dog-eared headband crookedly. "Come cloud watching with me. Please?"

"Why," the man typing on his bed barely spared himself the room to talk around a swig of coffee, seemingly unconcerned with antics of the braided boy on the floor. "Should I?

"Because you need some air, man!" Duo whined, sitting back now that Heero was finally paying attention to him. "You'll suffocate if you stay in here for too long."

The Eyebrow popped up. "I seem to be breathing quite efficiently, despite having sat in the same spot for several hours, Duo."

"Yeah, but it's that recycled shit," Duo burst. "Your windows don't even open. Isn't that the least bit bothersome?"

Heero eyed the offending window suspiciously, as if it had grown any head at all. Perhaps a shrubbery. He then glanced, suspiciously, to the vent, which was much too small to contain the three headed man riding a donkey that his look suggested. He then turned to Duo, suspiciously, as if he were the missing three headed man riding the donkey.

Not that Duo was. Just that Heero thought he was.

This was how Heero and Duo ended up outside, in some random park, on some random lawn, Duo on his back and Heero sitting up, under the pretense of cloud watching.

"Oooh! A rocket ship!" Duo pointed to the thing in question gleefully, a shit-eating grin on his face.

"It's a rabbit." Heero protested vaguely, paying more attention to his hands than cloud watching.

Duo cocked his head to his right. "Huh. Well, yeah, if you squint. What about that one?" Duo pointed to something else with the enthusiasm of small-child-Duo in an adult entertainment shop. "It looks like a cock!" Duo laughed at his own joke.

"It's a rabbit." Heero insisted yet again, distractedly. He was quite busy with the task in his hands.

Duo glared at the boy to his right, then looked back at the rooster-shaped cloud he had pointed out. After a moment, he pointed at a different cloud at random. "What about that one?" He asked, staring heavily at the hacker still typing away at his laptop.

"A rabbit." Heero insisted a third time, staring stonily at his computer screen.

"You're not looking!" Duo cried. "The entire point of the exercise is to look at the clouds! And, you know, make up funny scenarios that the little kids on the swings shouldn't understand. You know. Creative stuff."

Heero stared weightily at Duo, looking up from his computer for the first time since they had left Heero's room. "All clouds look like bunnies."

"Tch—cha—chu—che—What the—?" Duo stuttered in his annoyance. "Where the hell did that come from?"

"That is the one constant in this world." Heero continued in his usual grave tone. "People live. People die. It doesn't change anything. Clouds still look like bunnies."

Duo stared at him. "For serious?"

"Am I ever not?" Heero, unfortunately, was smirking. He had just made that up, but come hell or high water he would stick with it.

Duo glared. "Do it for real. Once. Actually look at it and tell me it's a bunny. Then I'll leave you alone."

Heero dutifully looked to the cloud Duo indicated and blinked. Staring him right in the face was the most perfectly cloud-shaped cloud in existence, like something out of a first grade art teacher's cold nightmare. There was no way he could say the thing looked like any form of rabbit whatsoever without being maimed and tortured for weeks on end. "It's a bunny hiding behind a cloud."

A/N: Heero's jack-assery is all my dad. This really happened to me in the car with him one day. Maybe next I'll incorporate his dream about his mechanic. Heero would have a random dream about a mechanic. And Duo would know the show…

I also need to write about my theory that Heero is a closet Hetalia fan. He finds America-kun amusing, and thing Germany-san is a good role model.
