Chapter 5: Secrets Revealed
Haha! The fifth chapter is finally up! Took me long enough but I finally got over the writer's block. There should only be a few chapters left after this and then the fic's done. I've already got the next chapter going so it shouldn't take as long for me to post it. Same warnings as usual go up for this one. If you have a sudden urge to know what they are you can check out the previous chapters. Only one that I'll place here is that Heero and Duo are slightly OOC but that because of the sap factor. Read and review! Not to mention I hope you all like this one. ^_^
Chapter 5: Secrets Revealed
~Heero and Duo~
Rubbing his right eye tiredly, Duo leaned back into his chair with a sigh and grabbed his ever present cup of coffee. It was close to three-thirty in the morning and the braided boy had yet to give his attention to sleep. Rather he had been in front of his laptop for the past five hours hacking into and searching the colonies systems trying to find a decent map of all the possible areas where bombs could have been placed.
Sighing, Duo glanced up hopefully when the computer released a soft beep. Clicking through the files, Deathscythe's pilot read diligently and then cursed. /Damned system! I wasn't looking for credit records./ He was about to close the window when something caught his eye. Frowning, Duo set down his drink quickly scanning the information, his eyes going wide with every word.
"Oh shit!" That was the only word that he managed to mutter as he sat stock still in front of his screen.

~Wufei and Rai~
Muttering darkly to himself, Wufei pushed his key into the lock to his hotel room. He did not favor sharing a room with someone like Rai. Admittedly, the boy was more controlled than Duo but when he set his mind to annoying someone, Rai always succeeded. "Not to mention I just like privacy." Added the Chinese pilot under his breath.
"What was that Wufei?" The sudden question almost made the usually calm Asian to jump out of his skin.
Looking up, Wufei glared. "It's nothing. Don't worry about it."
Rai seemed to glower slightly but then expression swiftly changed to neutral. "Whatever you say. The bathroom's free if you want to shower before bed."
Wufei nodded and began to dig through his duffel bag. "Did the professors give you any updates?"
"Err. . ." The uneasiness in the American's voice alerted Wufei that something was wrong and he glanced up with a questioning gaze.
"What is it?"
"Umm. . ." Rai licked his lips nervously. "Well. . .you see. . .I just got orders that we are to be. . .permanent partners from now on."
There was a complete silence in the room as the other went from pale white to crimson red. "WHAT?! This is surely a mistake! I do not have or need a partner!"
"Too late for that now Wufei." Shrugging, the Wing pilot seemed to have regained his composure. "Besides, don't be angry with me. I didn't give the orders. And what do you have against me anyway?"
Without answering, Wufei gathered his needed belongings and charged into the bathroom, slamming the door behind him. Rai blinked at the door for a few seconds before shaking his head. "Sheesh. Some one has a stick shoved up his ass. Oh well, he did take it better than I thought he would."
* * * * *
~Heero and Duo~
Heero sighed wearily as he entered his shared dorm room. Shrugging off his jacket, the Zero pilot was about to head to the bathroom when he noticed his lover sitting rigidly in front of the computer. Duo's eyes were wide and he stared at the laptop with disbelief in his face.
"Duo?" Questioned Heero softly, reaching one hand out to land on his partner's shoulder.
Duo seemed to jerk out of his trance and turned his wide-eyed to Heero. "Heero? I-I didn't hear you come in."
Frowning, Heero gave is attention to the screen and read the information that Duo had been staring at. Slowly, just like the braided boy, his cobalt blue eyes enlarged and understanding flooded through him. "So you know?"
"I-I thought he had died Heero. I really thought he had died. If I had only known that he was alive I could have been there for him. My god, how can this happen?" Sobbed, the American in the other's shirt.
Pulling his boyfriend into a tight embrace, Heero whispered comforting words into Duo's ear. "Don't blame yourself. You didn't know Duo and Rai wasn't ready to tell you yet."
"That story." Duo looked up, his violet gems shimmering with tears. "You were the little boy weren't you? The one that saved Rai."
The Japanese boy gave a small incline of his head, confirming Duo's guesses. Closing his eyes, Heero buried his nose into the soft chestnut locks. "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you earlier but Rai is too much like a little brother to me Duo and I couldn't betray him."
Moving back a few inches, the Deathscythe pilot intently studied his partner's face and a small smile broke out. "I understand Heero. If anything I'm glad that he grew up with you instead of the streets. Thank you, love."
Clasping onto the hand of his beloved, Heero allowed himself a small grin. "It was a pleasure. He is a lot like you."
Duo chuckled happily. "I can't wait until I can finally talk to him about this."
Pleased that his lover was more at ease now, Heero gave the other a light kiss. "Let's go to bed. We're both tired."
Suddenly, his exhaustion came rushing back and Duo yawned kittenishly. "I've still got some searching to do on the computer."
"You've done enough work for tonight Duo." A side of Heero that seldom came out was brought to the front at the sight of a tired Duo; his comforting side. "Come to bed with me please. We've got class tomorrow and I don't want to see you suffer through them even more exhausted than usual koi."
Immense love for the man before him, brushed through Duo's heart and he consented. "Alright."
Undressing down to their boxers, the two boys sighed as they snuggled under the covers.
"'Night Hee-chan." Murmured Duo as he drifted to sleep, pressed against the other.
Pressing a kiss to Duo's temple, Heero replied in a whisper. "Oyasumi, koi."

~Quatre~
Teal eyes stared in horrified shock at the screen before him. "Oh no." The blonde had found the information they needed and he felt his stomach drop. "I have to warn them!"
* * * * *
"We've located some of the pilots sir."
"Excellent." Replied the man evilly. "You know what to do.
T.B.C.
Yes, I know I'm evil. *grin* You'll just have to wait until the next chapter which is already on it's way. *rubs hands together* Gotta go folks! Lots and lots of planning to do. (Hence why no one should ever give me chocolate. Big mistake on my aunt's part. Yum! Dove chocolate is my favorite!) Please review. Arigato minna!
