Red Silk Oart Two
By Revena AKA r-chan
The alarm went off at six thirty. Groaning in protest I fumble a hand out from under the warm safe haven of softly knitted blankets in an attempt to swat the obnoxious noisemaker into silence. After a moment of hit and misses the source of my irritation hits the ground with a satisfying :: crash :::
I snuggle back into the wonderfully toasty blankets inhaling the clean sent of white pressed sheets and detergent. The blankets feel smooth and soft under my fingers. The fact that this is not my own room seeps into my sleep fogged mind. Nor is the alarm I just sent to the big clock makers shop in the sky. Looks like I'll be buying Duo yet another clock.
The smell of coffee teases me out of my protected little world of cotton and linen. I reach over the side of the bed groping for the socks I had tossed off just before passing out into sleep. On that note bits and pieces of last night come dripping back to me.
Duo and Heero had both half carried half dragged me to their place after a very long, very stressful meeting/hearing. I remember protesting I could make it to my own place but it bounced of them and hit the wall with little initiative on my part. The rest of the memory dissolves in the pleasant afterglow of having gotten a good night's sleep.
Standing up I stretched from the tips of my fingers to my toes, feeling the first rays of light spill into the small room.
"Oi Relena, there's a call for you!"
I knew it was all too good to last. I walk over to the phone resting on the night stand and bring it to my ear, all hopes of a nice quite (relatively quite that is) morning gone.
"Relena Dorlian speaking."
"Hello 'Lena. There's something I'd like you to do..."

"What can you tell me about him?"
"Who? Wu-man?"
Relena rolled her eyes. "Yes, If I'm going to spend a month or more with him, I'd like to know more about him."
Duo continued to try and tease Relena's honey colored hair into the style he wanted as he thought about her question. Better make this good if you want to give her a decent impression, God knows WuFie can't ( or would that be "won't") do it on his own.
"Well, other thean what you know already Wu-man has a good sense of integrity. Has a thing about justice but that's settled now that the wars over. " Duo frowned and moved another section of sun brown hair over. A sly smile replaced the frown quickly.
"Oh, he was married."
Relena automatically stiffened. "Married?" She repeated in a small voice.
Duo hid a grin. "Yah, it was an arranged thing. I don't think they were together too long. She died in a battle. I think that's why Wu fought in the first place."
"And now?" She asked when the silence begun to prickle along her skin. The last thing she needed was a hysterical girl friend or fiance accusing her of seducing her boyfriend. Relena doubted the woman in question would care if she found out Relena was undercover as a guy or not.
"Nada, no lover, lives alone. In fact his love life reminds me a lot of your sex life. Not much going on." He drawled.
Relena groaned and replied dryly. "Nobody's more aware of how boring my love life is than me so you can quit the editorial remarks."
Duo let out a good laugh and gestured Relena out of the chair. "Come on Ree, I got some hair die that should be just what we need."
Relena's face took on a slightly pained look as Duo pushed her toward the bathroom.
