It took a month, but Wufei finally (sorta) forgave Duo about the whole
Snuggles. . . selgunns. . . thing and was fairly civil to him. Sometimes.
Today Duo was happily listening to music on Quatre's state-of-the-art-and- then-some sound system, with extra surround sound. Obviously, it was VERY loud, but he seemed oblivious to the excess noise as he danced around and wrote some random stuff while listening.
Of course, after awhile, Wufei passed through.
"MAXWELL?"
Duo innocently turned to face Wufei.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING LISTENING TO MUSIC THIS LOUD?"
Duo blinked innocently. He couldn't hear a word Wufei was saying.
"A CURSE APON YOU IF YOU DON'T TURN THE MUSIC DOWN!" Wufei yelled angrily.
Duo blinked again innocently. "I'm sorry," he said, "I can't hear you; the music is too loud."
Wufei blinked, and then heaved a huge sigh before leaving (after cursing loudly about Duo and his music).
Duo went back to listening to his music.
Quatre came to the door next. "Ummm, Duo?" He asked.
Duo turned to face Quatre.
"Could you please turn the music down? I'm trying to pay the bills and stuff, and I can't really concentrate," Quatre explained.
Duo shrugged. "Sorry, Quat, but I can't hear a thing you're saying; I think the music is too loud."
Quatre blinked, and then shrugged, leaving. What could he do? I mean, this is DUO we're talking about here. Yup.
Next Trowa came by. He stared at Duo unblinkingly, until Duo felt Trowa's omnipresent presence and looked up at Trowa. Trowa continued to stare at Duo, somehow conveying the message 'Your music is a tad too loud. Can you please turn it down? I can't even argue with myself right now.'
Duo shrugged, and thought back, 'Sorry, but I can't hear myself think either.'
Trowa facefaulted and left, as Duo though to him, 'The music is too loud.'
No one bothered Duo for the longest time after that, but after awhile, Heero came into the room and 'hned' loudly.
Duo blinked. He shrugged. "Heero, why did you have to tell me that you weren't wearing underwear?"
"HN!" Heero practically shouted.
"Oh, sorry, I heard wrong. The music is too loud, you see." Duo said apologetically. "And in response to your first 'hn', yes, I've almost finished my poem!" He smiled proudly.
"Hn," Heero replied.
"Right you are Heero, as always," Duo said, "My music IS indeed too loud."
"Hn."
"Now why would I turn it down? That makes too much sense!"
Heero sweatdropped and sat down.
A bit later, Quatre came back, looking for Heero.
"Heero!" Quatre said, "Relena just called and wants to know if you want to go out with her *now* so I figured I'd ask you and see if you had an excuse or if I should just make one." He paused. "Heero? Heero?"
Heero did not look up at Quatre, and continued to sip his coffee.
"Hn," He muttered, after glancing up and seeing Quatre. Quatre turned to Duo, who was still dancing to his music. Idly, Quatre wondered how Heero could stand to be in the room; the music was already giving him a headache and he had only been in there for a few minutes.
"Oh, Heero said he can't hear you. He has donuts in his ears."
