I just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who reviewed on the recently finished 'Is It Enough?' And enjoy this amazingly short little I'm-not-even-sure-what-to-call-it.

Amazingly Addictive Crap

Heero was sitting at the table in the kitchen, single-mindedly typing a mission report, the relentless click-click-clacking of keys the only sound in the quieter-than-normal apartment.

Duo ambled into the room, absently humming a tune that Heero recognized as Deep Blue Something's Breakfast at Tiffany's. No doubt the American was going for his usual peanut-butter-and-strawberry toast. Sure enough, when Heero looked up and peeked over the top of his laptop, Duo had already put the slices of bread in the toaster and was cutting the strawberries into slices. He watched as his fellow Gundam pilot reached for the peanut butter in the cupboard.

Heero allowed a little smile to form on his lips. 'Hn. We've been partners for way too long.' He continued typing as Duo finished preparing his snack and unobtrusively left the room.

For a moment, Heero's fingers didn't stop their movement over the keyboard. Then they faltered, hesitating before stalling completely as silence reigned and Heero's brain registered an odd difference; he realized his partner had not said one word about what an obsessive workaholic he was. That was a severe anomaly in its own right, but the braided baka had not said even one word about anything! Confused and curious – although he would never admit to that – he pushed his chair away from the table and followed in search of Duo.

Heero found him sprawled across his bed, lying on his stomach and reading a magazine of some sort. Heero spied a small stack of others on the tiny table that stood between the bed and the door. He picked one up, reading out-loud the titles of the stories that were earth shattering enough to grace the cover of such an influential publication.

"'Quiz: Do you go for bad boys?' 'Emotional Calories?' '20 best screen romances ever?'" His voice grew more incredulous as he read on. "'The surprising man secret you need to know?' 'Blow his mind – your most asked sex questions answered?'" Heero raised an eyebrow. "Do you actually read this stuff?"

"Yep." Heero still hovered in the doorway, but Duo's eyes never left the article he was reading. The articles were incredibly stupid, but for some odd reason – and more incredibly – they were also quite attention grabbing…

Whatever the dubious appeal, Heero's next question was definitely enough of a shock to divert his attention from the amazingly addictive crap.

"Duo, may I borrow this one?"

I know, I know… It was pure silliness, but hopefully it was at least a little bit funny…
