Heero Yuy opened the refrigerator and reached for a jar of pickles. He opened up the cabinet overhead and took down a bag of bread. Soon, bread, cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, just recently cooked bacon, mustard and mayo, lay about the counter. Heero worked fast, his stomach ordering him to put layer after layer of cheese.
Finally done, he admired his handy work and grabbed and napkin. Wrapping the sandwich up he opened up the cabinet under the sink and grabbed a soda from one of the boxes. He heard laughter and singing.
Heero was confused and he looked out the window, seeing Duo play jump rope with two little girls is the back yard. What were they doing on his property? Obviously Duo invited them into the back.
The girls looked about seven. Duo held one end of the rope while the first girl held the other. The second little girl started to jump. "Strawberry soda with cherries on top. Who's your boyfriend? I forgot! A, B, C." the little girls sang even Duo joined in.
Heero leaned on the counter and took a bite of his sandwich, observing the scene.
"It's your turn! It's your turn!" the girls chorused.
Duo laughed and stood in front of the rope. "Oh, c'mon! I'm too fat to jump!"
The girls giggled and started to swing the rope.
"Whoa!" Duo wasn't ready and he jumped over the rope as high as he could so he wouldn't get tangled in it and trip.
The girls began to sing, "My mother--your mother live across the lane."
Duo fought to keep up with the rope but ended up landing on the rope anyway. He caught a glimpse of Heero. "Hey, bud, c'mon out and play! It's fun!"
Heero ducked his head. Duo went over two the window and stuck his head inside. Heero was sitting on the tile floor of the kitchen. Duo saw the sandwich on the counter and took a bite next to another pair of teeth marks. "Mm, good. C'mon, you know you want to!"
Heero couldn't give into his feelings. Sure, everyone thought jump rope was for girls, but he knew they were wrong. Would it be all right to play jump rope? Dr. J never let Hero have any toys or fun. He said they were evil and that they made you weak. The war is over and he would be able to play again, right?
Heero stood back up. "You're on!"
They walked back to the little girls and they laughed. Heero wanted to observe more first before he started. Finally he got it down and it was his turn. He got behind the jump rope and waited. Duo was swinging one end of the rope. First the rope went back and forth to gain speed and it was on. It went fully around and Heero could sense where it was. Something told him to jump and he followed that sense.
The rope went under his feet. Heero's heart pounded and he felt excited. Was this actually.fun? Yes, it must be! This must be the fun Duo was talking about! Heero was trying to keep up with the rope while Duo and the girls told him to jump when the rope went around.
Wufei stuck his head out of his bedroom window. "Kisama! Stupid girlie men! Stop playing that idiotic game and get both of your asses in the house! Make me some lunch!"
Heero and Duo frowned and led the girls out of the backyard. They went to go play with other kids. Heero and Duo retreated into the house.
Heero felt content. It was nice to get out of the house once and a while.
He washed the dishes, looking out the window in front of him, thinking about all of the fun he had had.
Tomorrow he would buy a jump rope before he went to work!
Owari.
Wait until the next chapter! Ice cream!!!
