"AAUUGGHH!"
I glanced over from my laptop to see what had caused Duo to cry out. He stood by the kitchen doorway gently rolling his tongue over the roof of his mouth.
"Duo?"
He looked at me sheepishly. "Um..heheh...I got too excited and tried to drink my coffee before letting it cool down a bit. I'm fine, Heero, really."
I stood up and quickly strolled into the kitchen to face the offending cup of coffee.
"Heero..." he says, as he gives me a worried look. "I'm fine, really! There's no need for you to-"
"Nobody hurts my Duo." I cut him off, as I whip out my gun and proceed to blast the cup of coffee to space dust.
He looks at me as if I've got lobsters crawling out of my ears. Then he just sighs and walks away mumbling about having to buy another coffee cup.
What an ingrate.
-000000-
"Awww! Hehe...good kitty. Soooffffttt kitty. Kitty kitty kitty! Kitty kitty KITTY!" Duo coos as he plays with one of Quatre's pet kittens. "No, kitty, my braid is not a ball of yarn. Hehe..kitty! ...Ow!"
I jump up from my seat and investigate the source of his pain. I find Duo on the floor sucking his finger, with the kitten lying on its back next to him.
"Duo..."
"Heero, it's just a scratch! Not even a scratch, it's a scratchette, she didn't even break the skin!"
My eye twitches. "Nobody hurts my Duo." I pull out my gun.
"!" Quatre screeches and hurries to collect his kitten into his arms. He yells a few words in Arabic before running out of the room.
"Heero...what in the world...?"
"Nobody hurts my Duo." I repeat before turning to leave.
-00000000-
"Heero...we need to talk."
I look up to see Duo without a smile on his face.
Oh crap.
"Heero...I know you love me and all...which I'm very happy about!...but, you don't have to dispose of every single thing in the world that may cause me minor discomfort. It's...kinda...weird. "
I feel my eye twitch.
"I just want you to be happy."
"And I appreciate it Heero, really! But...did you have to shoot at that little old lady?"
Hmph. Old biddy stepped on my Angel's foot. She had it coming to her. Besides...it's not like I actually hit her. I was just giving her a warning, not that she deserved to be let off so lightly. But then I look up and see his eyes watering. He doesn't look happy.
"Duo..."
"Heero, you don't need to be so overprotective..."
His eyes are watering because of me. Me. I hurt him.
"...Nobody hurts my Duo." I say as I pull out my gun.
