"Stripping? You have a new job as a stripper?" Duo stared at his friend in complete shock. Heero, dancing on a stage, stripping his clothes off? Wiggling his body parts in a provocative manner? Duo wasn't sure the other boy could relax enough to wiggle in an innocent manner, let alone provocatively. Not to mention nakedly.

"No, I said stripling," Heero explained patiently. "My new boss called me a stripling - it's another word for young man."

"Oh," Duo replied, feeling a little disappointed. "It's a shame you're not a stripper. You could have gotten me free entry into strip clubs."
