Checkmate

"Checkmate." he said again, truimphly with yet another victory. He's good at this and yet still, he told me he was a beginner. Some beginner he turned out to be, I've lost ten bucks from the bets I was so confident in waging.
"No fair Wufei!!" I exclaimed hotly, ready to con him back out of my money. Then again, I've learnt never to underestimate him and always, ALWAYS expect the unexpected.
"If you are patient in a moment of anger, you will escape a hindered days of sorrow." after that he reclined in his seat. Suprisingly I felt oddly at ease, I had a few rousing game of Chess with Wufei (Mister. Go away I must worship Nataku). Being around him is like being with an older brother, who knows everything and is understanding. He judges and he can be a little snotty at times but hey we all have our moments, right.
Besides I don't bother him that much, and I like to think of it as me keeping him company . He's always by himself , mediating or reading or doing stuff he doesn't want you to see in his room. Personally, I think he's really lonely but has this pride and Injustice thing going on.
I try really hard to start up a conversation with the other pilots and all they do is throw me an Omao o korosu or other threats. At least I get a response from some of them, I'm afraid of Trowa . It's silly, I know but not being able to see his other eye freaks me out. It's like I'm waiting for something to jump out of it and eat me. Quatre seems to like him and I've actually heard them in their room making music, no pun intended if you know what I mean. Q and I are cool, I talk, he listens, good relationship. Heero, ha I'm not the slightest bit afraid of this guy. Then there's Wufei, hardly utters anything but an Injustice every now and then. Once in the early morning I catch him of guard, he was outside doing these cool martial arts moves but that was only the one time.
Being around them is like playing chess , ironic isn't it? A war is going on and I'm playing chess and making quaint conversation. Next thing ya know I'll be sipping tea with my legs crossed like Quatre.
Like Wufei said one day ," All things revolve and we must take into consideration other things. Less important things might bring a smile to your face as well as good spirit." Sometimes he can be a damned fortune cookie, dishing out parables or quotes and other things. How weird?
Back to reality Duo, you still have a chess game to play.
"How about another round Wuffy?"
"I said don't call me that! Injustice. Haven' t you had enough already?"
"Chess is my specialty! " proclaimed Duo.
"Chi Yeah right! " whispered Wufei.
