Priceless.

"Could you pass me the sugar?"

Duo Maxwell looked up across the table at Heero Yuy who had just spoken to him. He had been in a conversation with Quatre Winner when suddenly that question had interrupted their little chat. He smirked.

"Sure," he answered as he grabbed the mentioned thing before sliding it across the table in Heero's direction. "There's your sugar, sugar."

Having grabbed the pot of sugar that had been slid his way, Heero blinked in surprise at the words that were spoken once the pot was in his possession.

"Sugar, sugar?" He repeated, his eyebrows scrunching up in confusion. When Duo didn't seem to bother elaborating, Heero couldn't help but feel his curiosity grow. "Why did you say sugar twice?"

Hearing the confused tone in his voice as well as the expression on his face, Duo couldn't help but snicker silently. Heero's clueless expression was just priceless.

"Uh," Quatre began, throwing a smile in Heero's direction. "Calling someone sugar is like referring to them as someone sweet. You know? As in a pet name."

Heero processed the information, turning to look at Duo who was grinning madly.

"Does that mean that you think I'm... sweet?"

Duo merely shrugged as he took another bite of his toast, the grin fading for about three seconds before it once more appeared and grew into a smirk.

His eyes spotted the jar of honey by Heero's arm. The smirk grew impossibly wide.

"Could you pass me the honey, honey?"

That priceless expression was back once more.

Duo couldn't have been happier.


The end.

This idea came from me when I was in the middle of doing every possible thing I could think of to get my friend to give me the clueless look.
I figured it would be like something Duo would do.

As for the whereabouts of the other two pilots and the timeline, just think of something.

I hope you enjoyed.

Lots of smiles,
SincerelyMG.
