Disclaimer :
This is the schpiel: As this is a
fanfic and I'm just some crazy author with too much time, I don't want to get
sued for acting like this is official or using characters' names without
permission of the owner/company/big guys with the suits. I may own a few bits of GundamWing
merchandise, but I don't own Gundam itself, and I'm certainly not in possession
of the money to cover a lawsuit, so - please - don't - sue - me. :end Disclaimer.
Warnings: bad humor, some 3x4 and 2xCB implications,
generic setting. You have been
forewarned. ^_^
t_j: Still trying to figure out the chaptering
system. This isn't a SillyShort, though; it was actually started long before the
SillyShorts - note the Disclaimer and slightly different format... I may just end up chaptering the
SillyShorts, for anyone who's interested. ^_^ WEll, enjoy!
Anyone's Guess

It was eleven o'clock and Duo Maxwell still
couldn't get to sleep. He tossed and
turned in his bed several times, burying his head under his pillow to shut out
any disturbances, but it was all to no avail. The thumping noises coming from the room next to his room continued to grow
louder, and showed no signs of stopping. Finally, Duo threw his pillow to the ground and pulled himself out of
bed. "Man, can't a guy get any sleep
around here?" He muttered under his breath as he went to knock on the other
room's door.
Raising his hand to the door, he paused
for a moment as he heard two voices inside - Trowa's and Quatre's. They were muffled behind the door, but the
thumping and squeaking sounds were unmistakable. Duo groaned. "They're
doing it again, aren't they? Those two
just don't know when to stop." He fumed
for a moment, then an idea struck him, and he grinned evilly. Those two are always careful about their
reputations - let's see them cover this!
With that, he slipped back into his room
and grabbed a camera - this'll do itÂ,
he smirked, turning off the flash. He
went back into the hallway and tested the doorknob - lucky - it was still
unlocked. Duo waited only for a second before opening the door a crack and
snapping the picture. Seconds later, he
was sleeping, still a little fitfully, in bed, his camera locked safely away in
a desk drawer.
"Hey, guys! Wanna take a look at this?"
On hearing Duo's voice, Chang Wufei
muttered a curse and made a look at Heero Yuy - he wasn't surprised when he saw no expression whatsoever on the other
pilot's face. Even then, Wufei didn't
miss Heero's slight wince of pain when Duo called again.
"Hey, wait up!"
Slowly, the two turned to meet Duo, who
was waving something in the air excitedly and grinning like an idiot.
"What is it, Maxwell?"
Duo
only grinned wider, and shoved a photo forward for them to see. There was a moment of silence as Wufei and
Heero took in what they saw.
"It's..." Heero started, but Wufei interrupted him.
"Trowa and Quatre?!" The Chinese pilot blurted, eyes as large as
saucers and nose twitching. "That's -
that's - " His hand quivered in the
air, one finger pointing at the photograph.
"Hey, what's going on, guys?" Hilde appeared from behind Duo, poking her
head over his shoulder. She looked down
at the picture and gagged, choking on her piece of gum. "Eh-What are they doing?!"
Duo and Heero sweatdropped and stared at
the girl. "You don't know what they're
doing." Heero stated in disbelief,
while Duo smacked his hand against his head.
"That's obscene!" Wufei suddenly
blurted out, his entire body twitching now. "Those two shouldn't be doing that! It's - argh!" With that, he ran
to his room and proceeded to lock the door.
"Actually, I think it's cute," A voice suddenly said, and the other three
turned to see Catherine inspecting the photo, a glow in her eyes.
"C-Catherine?!" Duo whirled on her, his mouth gaping in
surprise. "B-but you're Trowa's - "
The circus performer only shrugged, her
brown curls bouncing only slightly as she did so. "And what can I do about it? He's obviously made up his mind about what he wants to do. Besides," and here she winked, "I think I'd
like to try that sometime."
"Eh..." Hilde shrank away from the other
girl, one eye twitching dangerously. Together, she and Heero eyed Trowa's partner, and, as one, took
off down the hall, leaving Duo to stare at Catherine.
After a moment, he cleared his throat, a
small grin appearing on his face. "So,
um, you were saying - ?"
"Sure. Tonight?" She smiled amiably and
took the pilot's hand. They walked
calmly down the hall in Heero and Hilde's wake, starting a conversation on
somnambulism and rapid eye movement. They followed Trowa and Quatre's example later that night, and Duo no
longer had problems going to sleep, due to exhaustion from the night's
activities.
Wufei spent the rest of the day locked
in his room, screaming about 'sick-os' and 'obscenities,' while Heero and Hilde
were dragged into playing Spades with Une and Dorothy.
Trowa and Quatre never caught wind of
this occurrence, and they continued their activities without interruption for
the rest of the week.
However, just how did Duo's photo of
Trowa and Quatre, pillow-fighting while jumping on the bed, appear in a frame
on Zechs Marquis' office desk? That remains anyone's guess.
