Pairings:3+4, eventually 1+2
Note: People have said they are OOC and your right they are. I didn't intentionally do it, but they are. I'm not gonna change it because they probably all have different sides to them that we don't know about anyways. I mean if I was in a war I personally wouldn't be very happy and always talking and stuff either. I'm not like that as it is. I'm sorry if you don't like them OOC…I'll try not to make it that bad.
Chapter Six
After Duo arrived at Quatre's place and hung out for the day he decided to spend the night. He woke up earlier than usual the next morning and, not knowing what to do, he went to find Quatre. He wandered the mansion for a while before finding a door that led to a garden at the back of the house. There, Quatre was enjoying the morning hours weeding a small section with many flowers right next to the vegetable section. Quatre was pretty caught up in his work and did not notice the long-haired boy come up behind him.
"Good morning!" Duo commented happily. Quatre almost jumped.
"Hi Duo. You scared me a bit." He replied smiling also.
"I scared a Gundam pilot just by saying good morning?" Duo asked teasingly. Quatre rolled his eyes in response.
After a bit of silence, Quatre spoke up, "You can join me if you want. Just start in this row right here and work to the right and I'll work to the left." Quatre said pointing to a row to the right of him.
"Uhhh… I've never really… um, done that before," Duo answered.
"Oh well, I guess I shouldn't of expected you to. That's OK though, it's easy. Just do what I do. Like this." Quatre pulled another weed out during his last sentence to demonstrate.
"Oh… OK." Duo dropped to his knees and went to pull out one of the offending plants. "Like this?" He asked, holding up a large green stem with many green leaves.
Quatre looked up, "Yeah it would be if that was a weed, but it's a flower!" Quatre answered laughing lightly. He went on to explain the difference between a flower and a weed. "See it has a bud. These are weeds." He finished pointing to a smaller piece of vegetation without a bud. "Got the difference?"
"Yeah, I think." Duo responded and again went towards killing off the nasty intruders. For a row or two both boys weeded silently.
Quatre broke the silence again, "So where did Heero go off to?" He asked, hoping he wasn't prying into anything.
"I dunno. He just left. I s'pose I should of expected it." Duo answered while pulling out an extremely stubborn weed.
"You okay with it though?" Quatre inquired and sat down on the stone path behind him.
"Yeah." Duo replied, flashing Quatre a smile to assure him of his said answer.
"I'm serious Duo, tell me the truth, K?" Quatre asked again.
Duo sat down about a foot away from the blonde, Indian style. "Well…he's on my mind, like he was last time, but not near as bad. I can think about other stuff without always turning up with him again."
"Do you think he'll come back?" Quatre asked hopefully.
"No." Duo sat silent a few seconds before continuing, "He was only here until he could go on his way again." Duo finished, sure of his answer.
"Duo…" Quatre began to talk when he was cut off.
"Quat, I'll be fine, really. I mean, I guess I started liking him again because I feel lonely without him around, but I'm going to be ok. It's not like I'm crying myself to sleep or anything, k?" Duo flashed a large smile. Quatre was just about to comment that he had cried himself to sleep the last time Heero had left when Trowa came out.
"Tro! Good morning! Where ya been man?" Duo exclaimed happily instantly reverting from the seriousness he had mere seconds ago. Quatre noticed, of course, but dismissed it while standing to accept a kiss from his koi.

Heero accelerated for the next ten miles then took a sharp left to park in front of a large white building. //Stupid detour. I could have been here hours ago if it wasn't for that!// He quickly stepped out of his car and headed up to the steel front door. The intercom came to life.
"State your name and purpose of visit," a voice demanded harshly.
"It's Heero. Let me in."
"State your purpose of visit." The voice repeated it's demand.
"Do you want me to enter by force?" Heero threatened. Within a minute a bright green light flashed above the door accompanied by a short low-tone beep as the door simultaneously swung inward. Heero stepped inside and continued until he reached a steel stairwell.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duo followed Quatre and Trowa back to the kitchen where breakfast was waiting for them.[1] They ate most of the meal in silence and afterwards Duo decided to go home. Once he arrived he silently walked in the front door and was heading to the front door when he spotted Heero's bag sitting beside the couch. //Great// he thought sarcastically. //Heero left his stuff here. He must have been in a hurry. That means he's going to have to come back and get it. Just great.// Duo really didn't want to see Heero again now that he knew that all Heero wanted was a place to stay before he moved on. Trying to forget the sack, he headed towards the shower. Duo took a long, hot shower. After he dried off and got some new, clean clothes on he proceeded to begin to blow dry his hair.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Heero reached the top of the staircase he took a right. He memorized the map of this building earlier from his computer. Well at least the parts of the map that concerned him. He passed three doors before stopping at the next one. He grabbed the doorknob only to find it locked. "J…," he almost yelled through the door, "Let me in, I know your in there." A click was heard and the door opened.
"Hello, Heero," Doctor J then stood watching Heero. Heero just pushed past him into the room.
"Where's my stuff?" Heero questioned harshly.
"So… your back."
"You're the one who left." Heero mumbled sounding almost preoccupied, seeing as he was searching the large lab for his belongings.
"Correct," answered the doctor ignoring Heero's earlier question.
Heero decided to repeat himself, "Where is my stuff?" Questioned Heero again, getting angry with J because he seemed amused that Heero couldn't find it.
"Three doors over, here's the key," he said throwing a card to Heero. The teen caught it and swiftly made his way to the said room. He found a large box which he assumed was his stuff, a quick glance inside confirmed it and he was off down the hall, box in tow. J stuck his head out the door, "Where did you put the key?"
"The desk," Heero answered in monotone, tired of dealing with the stubborn old man.
"Oh and Heero," started the doctor with something that could have been perceived as a smirk, "I went through your stuff…Nice pictures of two."
Heero wasn't sure if the man was sarcastic or not, but it didn't matter he wouldn't ever come back to this place again. He left without saying a word.
