A/N: I thought, I can probably squeeze in one more add on this before I go to bed, but on the other hand, I'm very sleepy, so we'll see how this goes.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, and I make no profit from this. I do own Macy Leace Nady, so please ask if you want to use her, ok?
Wufei slipped away from the edge of the open infirmary window without a single noise. Eavesdropping wasn't the most honorable thing to do, but it was definitely needed.
"Wufei!" Macy jumped through the open window and grabbed his arm. "What did you hear?"
"Everything." Wufei stared at her with a subtle smirk that was just barely there. He was having doubts of his own; he had been married once already, after all.
"Don't take this the wrong way..." Macy began slowly. "But... not right now, ok?"
He knew exactly what she meant; she didn't want to start anything with him at the moment. Wufei nodded, he could live with that, but a bead of frustration still sat in his chest.
"Thank you." Macy glanced around camp and quickly changed the subject. "Are we planning on leaving anytime soon?"
"I don't have any plans to right now." Wufei raised an eyebrow. "Did you pick a fight with Sally, is that why you want to leave?"
"I was just wondering." Macy glared at him; all talk of romance long gone. "Sally and I are friends now."
"Right. And pigs will fly." Wufei said this all very straight faced, in a way that made Macy either want laugh or threaten him, she wasn't sure which one.
"Actually, she's telling the truth." Sally came up behind Macy and put her hands on her shoulders. "We've got everything all worked out."
In his head, Wufei said a very interesting combination of swearwords. He had wanted to use Macy's jealousy as motivation to get her to fight, but now it was gone.
"Come with me." Wufei motioned for Macy to follow him towards Nataku.
Macy gave Sally a nervous glance, and then followed Wufei into the woods.
"You're still going to have to learn to fight." Wufei stopped about 20 feet into the woods, but still a ways away from the Gundam. "I can't always protect you, you know that."
"I'm not a person who fights." Macy shook her head. "I'm good at hiding, and I can run. I'm not the kind of girl who beats up others."
"I'm not asking you to beat anyone up unless they're attacking you." Wufei took a deep breath, that bead of frustration had grown into a softball and it still sat in his chest, heavier than lead. At the look on Macy's face, he gave in. "Fine. Three self defense moves, deal?"
"Why do you know self-defense if you're into martial arts?" Macy raised an eyebrow at him.
"Because my wife knew self defense and she tried it on me." Wufei used his 'that's not the point' tone to steer the conversation away from Meiran. "Do you know any self defense moves?"
"I know how to knee a guy where it hurts." Macy smirked, probably recalling how she had tried to knee Wufei when they first met.
"Alright." Wufei took his hand and gently touched the bridge of her nose. "If you hit someone hard enough here, with the heel of your hand, you can knock their nose into their brain. Kill them instantly. Now show me where you would hit me."
Macy looked up at him for a minute before she gently touched the bridge of his nose.
"Right." Wufei took her hand in his and folded her fingers down, all except for her thumb. "Now if you hook your thumb around into the corner of their eye, you can-" He finally noticed Macy's erratic breathing. "Are you having a panic attack?"
"Just shut up for a minute." Despite the simple request, Macy crumpled to the ground, her eyes shut tight and her breaths gasping.
Wufei didn't know what to do. He could've run for help, but they were too far away, if something went wrong he wouldn't make it back in time. In an attempt to calm Macy, he hugged her gently against him.
In time, Macy's breathing evened out and she relaxed. After several minutes she looked up at Wufei and mumbled, "you have a good heart you know."
"Were you having a panic attack?" Wufei ignored her comment.
"Yes..." Macy shoved Wufei away a bit. "Sally says they're getting worse because of how little sleep I'm getting."
"You should let her give you something to help you sleep if it's getting that bad." Wufei's eyes were pitying as he watched her.
"Don't be what you hate." Macy stood and started towards the camp on shaking legs. "Bleeding heart."
Wufei watched her go, but didn't chase or say anything. Sometimes, that girl said all the wrong things.
Sometimes, she was more like Meiran than she would ever know.
A/N: Yes, I realize that Macy's been having a lot of panic attacks lately, but they can get worse if you don't get enough sleep, so I've been trying to go with that. Anyway, I'd love it if you could drop me a comment, but otherwise thank you for reading!
