Breakfast with, "Death."

Heero and Quatre along with Hilde and Relena all walked down a white marble hallway talking as Heero noticed the other end of the hallway there were two dark double doors. "Who dwells in there?" Heero turned to Relena as he shifted his hand to point at the doors. "Our brother Duo.." Quatre felt a slight awkwardness in the air as he continued on, "He's a quiet person at first but once you get to know him he's really a great character.."

"Why hasn't he come to meet us?" Hilde ask looking at Quatre, "Oh, he's not use to strangers, he's rather shy." Quatre teased as another voice interupted, "I am not.." Quatre stopped his laughter as he looked up and saw Duo leaning against the doorframe. "I've been sick.." Duo walked to Heero and Hilde and bowed gracefully, "Do forgive me I have been ill. I am Duo." Hilde smiled and offered out her hand. "I am Hilde and here is my brother Heero."

'His... His face..' Heero thought as he did a slight nod. "We're all going to breakfast now, brother, care to join?" Quatre asked as Duo smiled. "Don't mind if I do.." Duo walked next to Hilde as they ascend down the stairs in soft morning chatter but Heero had been thinking.. 'The face.. The loose brown strains of hair.. It has to be him.. My attacker..'

Heero sat across from Duo as they ate breakfast but Duo shoot no grimaces but only small jokes and laughter. 'Shy person? Hn.' Heero continued to eat in silence, "Is something wrong, Heero?" Relena asked with concern for her Herion's comfort. "No, everything is grand." Heero wiped his lips off with a white napkin with a small lace design. "Duo? Have you heard of the man who keeps attacking Heero?"

Quatre brought up innocently enough. "I heard it was a woman.." Duo grinned, "A woman beating him.." He grinned at Heero as Heero gave that firey blue glare as Relena saw it and felt weak in the knees then snapped into reality, "Duo! Don't insult our guest!" Duo's grin disappeared as he gaze shifted to his left looking at Relena who sat at the end of the table. "Dear beloved sister, don't you mean.. your guest?" His wicked grin returned across his face as Relena's face was overwhelmed with a soft red, "Excuse me!" Relena quickly up and left her seat as Duo chuckled softly and turned back to Quatre giving a discontent look and Hilde looking a bit confused.

"Whaaat?!" Duo whined with a pout as Quatre shook his head. "Ohhhh.. Whatever..." Duo turned his face away as Quatre smiled at Hilde nervously.

After breakfast Hilde and Quatre walked together in the hallways laughing and talking. They made their way out into the garden as Duo leaned against the wall. "Hello Duo, relaxing in the shade?" Quatre asked as Hilde smiled sweetly. "Yeah.. Sorry 'bout this morning.." Hilde giggled, "Its quite all right, I tease Heero myself." Hilde and Quatre turned off back to their normal direction as Duo pondered on his own until his braid was pulled.

Duo didn't shout as he turned and met the icy blue death glare. "Is it you who has attacked me!?" Heero growled his face only inches from Duo's. Duo innocently looked at Heero then shifted himself to stand, he was five inches taller then his interogator. "Prove it." Duo smirked as Heero grew angry, "My own eyes!" This time Heero snarled, like a Wolf. Duo kept cool and smiled even more, "Hate to be defeated? Hurt your pride huh? Broke your infamous record in winnings." Duo started cirling Heero, he leaned closer to the other man's ear, "I've placed a thorn inside your proud little head.."

Duo pondered on a flirting thought. Lick his ear? But chuckled and backed away instead. "Don't get your feelings too hurt, Heero Yuy.. Because someday somehow you had to loose.." Duo casually walked away as Heero watched and spit on Duo's fading shadow. "Damn you, Duo..." Heero whispered.
