~~~~~Sarah P.O.V~~~~~
I saw him before me…. Weeping his heart out.. Silently.
I was overcome with dread….
This isn't right…. I HATED sorrow.
SHIT!
I kneeled, wrapping my arms about him and sat. Leaning his head against my shoulder, I allowed him to weep there.
I closed my eyes, the very thought of him crying making me want to cry as well. But I had to make him smile.
"Aww.. Dun worry nowise! We'll get back at whoever did this to ya's! Or..We'll fix it. And I PROMISE I won't turn you in…. I….Well can't ya know…..No reason really.. But.. Cheer upies!"
I put on a smiling face.
I think I made it worse.
I hugged him tighter, laying my head on his shoulder and sshhing him gently. I didn't know what was wrong.. Only that I had to correct it.
It took awhile, but exhaustion over took him and he fell asleep in my arms. I glanced to the clock.. 5:00 am….
Awww crap…. I'd been away from office a few days.. And just in the middle of completing a gundam…
Zech's was gunna be mad..
Slipping out from underneath Duo, I laid him down gently, tucking a thick blanket over him.
The phone rang.
Rushing too it, I lifted it to my ear to hear,
"Where have you been?"
It was Zech's.
"Something's come up… Something important….I couldn't make it."
"Did you get the report done?"
I gulped…. Shit!
The report!
"Uhhh, Yeah…..I did.."
"Good. I'm coming over. And your coming to work even if I have to drag you." And with that he hung up.
Oh crap.
I ran back to where Duo laid asleep and gave him a furious shake.
His deep purple eyes snapped open, dull and dimmed. I blinked and whispered furiously, "OZ. Coming here. Zech's. Gotta hide you. C'mon!"
And I yanked him on his feet.
Now where could I hide him?
Places ran through my head…Not many places in a small house like this. But it's not as if Zech's would search the house.
I bustled Duo into my room and with a shove, barred him into the closet.
I then rushed to my computer and flipped it on. I didn't have one bit of the report on gundam procedures done!
He could be here any minute!
Furiously I began typing all I knew on how the current gundam worked, what needed to be fixed and how, and how someone could pilot a suit like it.
I had never worked so fast in my entire life.
The result, ten pages worth of what sounded like babbling to me. But it could pass. See what you can do under pressure?
I started it printing, and yanked open my door, rushing out into the living room, and out the front door.
I glanced down the road to see if Zech's was coming yet.
That's when the truck had caught my eye. A truck full of three boys. All staring at me.
It was like one of those stalker movies..
I was like, ooookkkkk.
Something about them was familiar however…. I couldn't place it… I could tell the blonde haired one realized I recognized something.
With a cheery smile and a wave, I rushed back inside.
About ten minutes later, there was a knock on my door. I flung it open, breathless fro my activity.
Zech's stood there, serious as ever…. God he could be a drag….
Still wearing the forever stupid mask…..Still wearing the idiotic red ugly uniform. Sheesh!
I invited him in, and he glanced about, noticing the pink stain on the carpet.
ONLY someone like HIM would notice something like THAT.
"What's that?"
I smiled sweetly, "It's a ummm.. Juice stain. I was drinking some cranberry juice.. Boosts energy you know.. And I spilled some. I couldn't get it all up. Sigh…"
He seemed satisfied with that answer.
"Where's the report?"
"Sit First!" I insisted and led him to the couch, where the blanket still was. He eyed it and I smiled, gesturing to the TV.
I think he got the message. Of me just curling up to watch. He probably thought I could have used that time to work.
I ran into my room where I found Duo out of the closet and reading my research papers. I snatched them from him and caught his fist as he tried to punch me.
I pressed a finger to my lips and rushed into the living room.
Shuffling the papers in order, I handing them to him.
He looked skeptical.. As skeptical as you can be with a metal mask on your head…As he flipped through it.
I kept a silly grin plastered on my face.
"Want anything? Tea? Coffee?"
"Tea if you would… Please." He replied, distracted by reading my papers. I bustled over and placed a pan on the stove, dumping water in it and turned on the heat.
By the time I returned to him with a cup of slightly sweetened tea, he had finished with my report and was just….sitting.
I wondered how in the hell someone could be so boring some times. I couldn't stand to be him!
I gave him his tea and sat down next to him with my own.
After he took a sip, he mumbled, "Your not dressed for work."
I sighed, "Do I hafta?"
He just gave a nod.
"Can I at least not wear that dorky little uniform? After all, wearing that isn't really fit to pilot a gundam."
Oddly Zech's smiled and let out a laugh. To my amazement, he set down his cup, next to mine and turned, embracing me in a tight hug.
I froze.
This wasn't like him..
He's rarely ever given me hugs.
Slowly, I shifted my hands to clasp onto his back and returned the hug, smiling gently.
Hell. Even if he was dull, I still loved him. It's only been two years… But he's the one whom saved me from those times of trying to kill myself..
All those times I thought life wasn't worth living he had shown me the correct path and fixed my wrongs.
I learned to love him… After all…. He was my adopted father.
And what's not to love?
I grinned at that and we slowly pulled away from each other.
He gave a cough, "Yeah.. Just change out of that. I'll wait for you here. Hurry up."
Grumbling nervously to myself, I made my way back into my room.
I saw Duo typing on my computer.
I realized he was hacked into OZ files.
"Dammit Duo!" I whispered furiously. He glared at me, before continuing to type.
"Look. I have to go to work. Zech's is making me. I want you to promise me something." He didn't even look at me.
"Don't leave. Please don't leave. I don't want you to leave yet."
There was a pleading in my voice. Something I didn't realize had even been there….
He continued to ignore me, with a simple, "Whatever."
I sighed softly and turned, walking into my closet and pulling out a cut sleeved camouflage shirt and some black shorts, along with some tennis shoes.
I changed inside the large closet with a tiny light and pulled the door closed.
Then making sure my hair was ok, I turned and reluctantly left the room.
As promised, Zech's was there waiting. Together we left my small complex house.
Outside a truck was waiting, two soldiers lounging in the back. The stood in the back at attention as Zech's approached. He waved them down with a slight smile.
I slipped into the back of the roomy truck and Zech's sat in the front. "Back to the base." He told the driver.
The car started and we were off, my thoughts lingering on Duo.
