Lady Une paced back in forth in front of Zechs, who was sitting in a chair facing her. She didn't know what to say first...or what to do for that matter. She wanted nothing more than to knock some sense into the idiot, but that wouldn't solve anything. Sighing, she sat down at her desk clasping her hands.
"That stunt you pulled today was completely uncalled for. You had no reason to verbally attack a fellow Preventer."
"I did have reason..." Zechs replied in a low voice.
"Oh really? And what would that reason be?"
"It's personal."
"Hmph." Lady Une leaned back in her chair. "Will at least apologize to Duo then? Threatening him like that was completely childish."
"I'm not gonna apologize to that good-for-nothing asshole..."
"Why?"
"I have my reasons."
"God Zechs will you grow up!?" Lady Une exclaimed. "It's not like Duo's trying to steal Heero away from you! Hell-you two aren't even dating!" Zechs shot a heated glare at her. "Look I'm sorry for saying that but it's the truth..."
Zechs scoffed, turning his head away. "Whatever..."
"Well...you could apologize to Heero? Will you do that?"
"As long as it will get you off my back."
"Agreed..." Lady Une watched as Zechs stood and exited it the room. "Sometimes...I worry about that guy's mental health..."

Heero looked up at the clock on the wall-3:00 p.m. His shift was over and so now he had to pick up the girls. He put the stuff he needed to take home in a manila folder, sorting them by most important to who gives damn. While doing this, Duo walked in, knocking softly on the door. Heero looked up at him and smiled vaguely.
"Hey..."
"Hi..." Duo said, closing the door behind him. "Uh I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry..."
"Sorry for what?"
"Well...earlier...in the meeting room...instead of helping the situation I sorta kinda worsened in it."
Heero shook his head. "Don't apologize for Zechs' shitty behavior..."
"Yeah...I guess..." Duo chuckled a bit. "Do you think I should heed his warning?" Duo watched as Heero shook his head. "Really uh? Well if you say so."
"Zechs isn't gonna do anything. He's all talk and no action." Heero thought for a minute. "He always has been."
"I see..." Duo leaned against the door. "So why do think he got so mad?"
Heero just shrugged, grabbing his keys from the top drawer of his desk.
"Huh..." Duo looked at the picture that was hanging on the right wall. "They're cute..."
"Huh?" Heero finally noticed him staring at his girls' school pictures. "Thanks."
"Are they Zechs' kids?"
"Wha-!" Heero dropped his keys, looking at him baffled. Duo turned his head to look at him, a curious expression on his face. "Why do you say that?"
"Well...he acts like he's the father...I mean, he did say that if I went anywhere near your girls-"
"They're not his alright..."
"And you know this because...?" Duo watched as Heero averted his eyes. "You did tell that you didn't know...remember? So how do you know that Zechs isn't the father? I mean, you guys did sleep together right?"
"Who told you that...?"
"Quatre...well actually the way Quatre said sounded like he forced himself on you but that can't be true because Heero Yuy, the Perfect Soldier. You submit to no one...no one at all."
"Just what are you getting at here?" Heero definitely didn't like what Duo was saying and really couldn't understand why.
"I just wanna know who the candidates are-I mean everybody else knows but I don't...it just doesn't seem fair."
"Well...um..." Heero looked at the pictures again, trying to sort out the words jumbling up in his head. Duo, at the time, was looking at his feet.
"Heero...I want to get a paternity test..." Duo watched as Heero slumped down in his chair, still staring at the pictures. Sighing he went on. "Now I don't wanna do it if you or the girls don't want to. I just...feel like I owe it to myself...and you if...well..."
"Heero?" Zechs said opening the door, forcing Duo to step away. The minute Zechs saw Duo he desperately tried to control his rage. He didn't wanted to attack Duo, not in front of Heero anyway. After glaring at him for a split second, he focused his attention on Heero, who already had a tear streaming down his face. "Heero? Are you ok?" Pushing past Duo, he went to Heero's side. "What's wrong?"
Heero looked at him after a while. "What do you want?"
"Well...I want to apologize about what happened earlier. I'm sorry...really I am..." Zechs took one of Heero's hands into his own. "Can you forgive me?"
"Zechs I..." Heero glanced at Duo slowly walking out. "I gotta go. Maybe later." Grabbing the manila folder and the keys that fell on the floor, Heero left the room, leaving a dumbfounded Zechs behind.
