Silent conversation

Heero and Quatre were caught up in some kind of conversation I was pretending to follow. However, seeing as how I tended to drift off after about three sentences exchanged by them, I decided to do nothing more than pretend. Lunch break was almost over anyway and Wufei seemed to be waiting for to get back to work as well.

However, something on my left suddenly seemed to have grasped his attention and I turned around to see what it was. Zechs was heading for the line to the counter to pay for his chosen lunch. Those two had one of those relationships going on nobody could understand, as I was shown clearly today.

I knew Zechs had just returned from a mission, but the way Wufei was looking him over it must have been one involving a good amount of action. When Zechs spotted Wufei, the smaller one raised an eyebrow.

He gained a curt nod in return and almost seemed relieved at that. However, his eyes moved to the blonde one's bandaged hand they narrowed. I turned my attention back to Zechs in time to see he glanced down at his hand before he looked up again and shrug.

Wufei raised a suspicious eyebrow at which Zechs rolled his eyes. When Heero and Quatre chose that moment to decide it was time to get back to work, I saw how Zechs turned his attention away from us to pay his lunch.

Seeing as how our table was just clearing Zechs decided it would be his to have his lunch. As we passed him I saw Zechs and Wufei exchange one last glance before they had their backs to each other.

Now what the hell was that all about?

As Wufei turned his attention back, I raised my eyebrow. He glared at me, daring me to say anything, but I just continued to stare. He knew what I meant, though, as he snapped at me impatiently.

"What?"
