Joke-of-all-trades (Change of Hands)
Heero snickered amusedly as he watched how Duo attempted to make Trowa laugh with his usual hackneyed japes: if the poison reaches its expiration date, is it still poisonous? If a cockroach falls into a bucket of soapy water, does the water gets dirty or the cockroach gets clean?
"Tempus has fugited," he declared risibly to the now semi-flustered Duo, "it's my turn."
Duo shuffled diffidently to make space for the Japanese, who even before taking his seat asked, "Why does self-destructing hurt like hell?"
Silence succeeded at first, and when Trowa suddenly gave a satisfyingly loud cackle as an answer, Duo tore out of the room while muttering something about cold-blooded clowns with very weird sense of humor.
A/N: Heee! I feel for Duo; I really hope I can find something funny in Heero's classic joke. Tempus Fugit means 'Time Flies' in Latin. Trust me, I don't know what Heero's problem is here to screw up the term. PinkStriped-Flamingo and Yume Girl 91, the Quatre-Relena ficlet that I planned on posting here somehow turned into a one-shot. :) It's either I'm going to post it on 'Mars and Venus' or on its own. I still have to retouch it. :)
Next ficlet is Morning Routine: Rashid and the Maguanacs.
