Heero woke suddenly, the silent scream shown on his lips. Heero looked around himself in surprise, he'd fallen asleep on the couch, right into Duo's lap during the news. "I figured I'd let you sleep.", Duo told him, "Guess you had a bad dream huh?",
Heero nodded, his pupils widened just a bit with fear, or at least a hidden fear in them. "It's okay, I understand.", Duo nodded, "We're heading over to Q's for supper kay? I always head there for supper, it's easier to let Quatre's chiefs cook evening meals, of course, I've already told him we have a third person coming to dinner too.",
Heero looked at Duo, then nodded, slowly. "Okay, then Heero. Let's get going we don't want to be late, now do we?", Duo asked.
Heero shook his head, shrugging back on the now freshly cleaned trench coat from earlier. He looked at Duo, who led the way to a door that Heero hadn't noticed before, this led to the garage. As the two got into Duo's car, which was black by the way, Heero noted Duo's quiet behavior so far. Heero looked at Duo carefully, noticing the jacket Duo had on as the leather one from the Christmas Scuffle as it had come to be called.
.....
When the two of them got to Quatre's, Heero peered out of the car at the large three- story that Duo had pulled up to. "All righty then, come on Heero, let's head inside.", Duo said, getting out, "I'm sure he's expecting us.",
Heero followed Duo up to the door, where one of Quatre's employees opened it. "Good evening Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Winner is waiting in the living room at this moment.", She put it simply.
"Thanks, Jessie.", Duo replied.
Heero was led by Duo down a couple hallways until they opened into a vast room. Quatre sat on a couch in the middle of it, as Duo told Heero to stay put until needed. "Hi, Duo! Where's your guest?", Quatre asked.
"Um..... Actually it's-", Duo started.
"Heero, I know, Trowa told me this afternoon, during a quick lunch.", Quatre explained, "So, where is he?",
Heero slowly stepped out from behind the wall, and looked up at Quatre a little reluctantly. "You can take off the coat, Trowa told me everything about you.", Quatre said, gently.
"Come over here, and sit by me, Heero.", Duo patted the seat cushion next to himself, "Nice n' comfy.",
Heero sat next to Duo, and looked down at his feet while sitting there. "It's okay, I'm not afraid of your, well, changes, Heero.", Quatre said, encouragingly.
Heero looked up briefly before looking over to Duo, who smiled happily at him. "Wufie going to come down here for dinner?", Duo asked, "Or, is he too busy?",
"Hmn.... I don't know if he is or not.", Quatre replied, "He might be busy with his training.",
"Yes, I can see where that would be on his mind.", Duo said, "I cannot believe he's actually found a job that works for him.",
"The pay isn't as well as he'd like, but, he loves teaching the kids how to use the kane swords.", Quatre replied.
Heero felt himself drifting away from their conversation, and into memories of pain. A tear fell from his eye, and slid it's way down his cheek, then more followed. "Heero?...", Duo asked, "Heero, you okay?",
"I think he's crying.", Quatre said.
"I know, I think whomever did this to him hurt him in a major way.", Duo whispered, "Just give him some time, he needs to have a good cry.",
End Chapter: Okay, a little bit short, but still good.
