Elevators, An Unexpected Prison
He stepped on the elevator just as he had done every day
for the past half of a year. Duo's long hair was down, rumpled,
and basically looking bed head. He leaned against the wall and
yawned. So early... Leaning forward he tapped the button to his
floor.
"Hey, hold the elevator! Please?!!" He heard the pathetic
beg echoing down the hall. He pushed the door open button.
A blue haired guy came skidding into the elevator and
leaned on the button to his floor. "Crap, I'm so late...Your
running late too huh?" He glanced at Duo.
Duo released the button and watched the door slide
sluggishly shut. It looked like he felt. "Un." He nodded. "I'm
having a bad day..."
"Tell me about it." Kouji sighed. "My car died half way
here, it started raining while I was walking up the road to call
a cab because my phone's battery was dead..." The elevator made
a grinding sound and lurched to a halt.
"Noooo!!!" Duo banged his head on the wall. He reached
down and grabbed the phone. It was dead. "Ok, can anything else
go wrong?!?" The gods were mocking him and the lights went out.
"You had to ask." Kouji sank down the wall to the floor.
"That just sucks. I'm going to be in so deep..." The emergency
lighting came up, one dirty bulb lit the small space dimly. It
was enough to see basics but not enough to light the elevator.
"It's not like they could do anything with the power
off." Duo sat down opposite the blue haired bandit. "But I'm so
late already...I hope they haven't already killed me off."
"Kill YOU off? Ha! You are the chick magnet of the series.
Trust me, they aren't going to do that." He shook his head. "I on
the other hand am only an assistant to the director. I've
probably already been replaced. One or two walk ons give me no
attention."
"Could you make yourself sound any more pathetic? You're
good looking, and you get to work on both sides of the camera.
I'm bored...got any games in that breifcase?" Duo fidgited.
"I've got a pen and paper...Tic-Tac-Toe?" He asked as he
pulled it out.
"Kind of borring...What is the prize?" The brown haired
man asked the blue haired one. From the blank expression he knew
he hadn't been followed on his little brain trip. "Prize for
winning..."
"Winner takes top." Kouji teased the other man who was
known for being a little easy.
"Ohho! I'll take you up on that. That's a lot better then
sitting around doing nothing."
Maybe he shouldn't have suggested it, but Duo was damn
sexy and well, why not? He drew the crosshatch, then handed over
the pencil. Duo stuck his tongue out the corner of his mouth.
He'd have to plan this well.
And any hopes for a plot flickered out, dying a horrible
death in the darkness of the author's mind, as they continued
playing. "I lost?!!" Duo flailed after the eighth game went in his
opponent's favor.
"Man, that was harder then I thought it would be."
"Well, claim your prize." Duo began unbuttoning the blue
haired man's shirt as the braided wonder leaned forward and kissed
him.
"Here? Now?" Kouji's eyes widened.
"Well, we can't really go anywhere else, now can we?" Duo
flipped blue hair around in his fingers as he grinned. "Unless you
can teleport or something and neglected to tell me..."
He thought it over, then moved forward. He was startled out
of his thoughts by the lights flickering on. The security camera
gazed down at them now awake. "They can see us!" He jerked away
from Duo and began buttoning up his shirt.
"K'so!" Duo growled, climbing to his feet. "Here, I'll make
them go away." He pulled off one shoe and tried to hook it over the
lens.
"No way!" Kouji straitened himself up, to his usual look.
They both dove to hit the emergency stop button as the elevator
began to move. Duo still had the unmade bed look going for him as
they exited the elevator, but not the good times Saturday night
bed look. "Oh, Duo, if you want to get together later, I'll let
you take top." He whispered as he got off the elevator and walked
down the hall.
