HOT ONE
A slammed door. Pounding feet. It could only mean one thing.
"Duo. You're back," Heero stated, calm as always.
Duo was anything but. "Can I sue for this?" he demanded, slamming a thin paperback on the table.
"For what?" Heero scanned the books cover: A digitally blurred picture of a young man's face and rainbow-coloured letters spelling out... "Velvet Goldmine?"
"Open. It." Duo commanded. Sighing inwardly, Heero skimmed the screenplay, as it turned out to be. "So?" Hw asked finally.
"They can't DO that!" Duo exclaimed.
"Do what?" Heero could barely conceal his amusment at the braided boi's [1] panic; he looked about ready to unleash his Gundam on some unsuspecting pots and pans.
"Maxwell Demon. The guy's name is MAXWELL DEMON. I, in case you haven't noticed, am Duo MAXWELL, god of DEATH. And... and... a god of death is MORE than a demon, y'know? So... so... so..." he trailed off, looking close to tears. "And... and... this MAXWELL is a SPACE creature, and I'M from outer space and.. and... and he..."
"Coincidence."
"COINCIDENCE?!" Duo grabbed the screenplay from the table with such ferocity that the Perfect Soldier almost flinched.
"And what would you sue for?" That gave Duo pause.
"...Copyright infringment?"
Heero didn't bother replying to stupidity when a glare would suffice. Duo stalked across - and almost out of - the room.
"Why'd you buy it, then?" Heero wondered aloud as Duo left the kitchen. "If it bothered you so much?"
Duo turned around and hurled the book with such deadly accuracy at Heero that he DID flinch this time. "Page 83," he muttered with a glare to match Heero's finest, then turned and exited the room.
Heero found page 83 with relative ease, and stared at the picture there [2] for a few seconds. Quick as his reflexes were, it took a moment for him to realize something. "Duo," he called out, emotion threatening to taint his monotone, "Duo -- are those two GUYS?"

[1] my favourite euphamism for Duo -- just wanted to share ^_^.
[2] http://z.bosch.tripod.com/83.jpg -- one of my favourites here, as well. hmm. ^_^.
What can I say, after a long long time reading GWingfic, a "starship over Venus" starts to bear an uncanny resemblance to Deathscythe Hell... And 'sides, I just couldn't reisist -- but you know you love me! -^_^-.
