Chapter Nine
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing. Some other nice people do.
Almost a week and three days had passed since Heero came back from J's and everything
was going normally. Actually it was even going better than normal. Currently Heero was taking a
shower and Duo was sitting in an overstuffed chair watching a rerun of an old sitcom from a few
years ago that was just now getting popular when some knocking sounded at the door. As Duo
opened the door it revealed a stoic looking Wufei. Needless to say Duo was surprised. It's not
everyday that Wufei came to see him, and much less straight from work. Well at least Duo was
assuming he was just coming from work guessing from the Preventer's uniform he still had on. O
well, visitors are always nice.
"Hey Wufei, what brings you here?" Asked Duo joyfully.
"I came to see Heero, he lives with you right?" Wufei asked.
Duo nodded his head positively and began walking into the living into the living room.
"Yeah. Wufei come have a seat, K? We got a new couch." As Wufei took a seat Duo continued,
"Anyways Heero's in the shower if you want you can just-" Duo was suddenly interrupted by a yell
from Heero's 'room'.
"Just wait a sec and I'll be out. I'm getting dressed." Heero called out to the two teens in
the living room.
Duo took a seat in his chair again and flipped off the TV while turning his body to the right
in the chair so he could face Wufei. "Never mind then, I guess Heero will be able to talk to you.
What have you been up to?" Duo asked.
"Not much." Wufei answered keeping up the small talk until Heero would come out so he
could get down to what he really came for. "Mostly I've been working lately. I've had to do some
overtime because I supposedly I took more time than I was supposed to on my last vacation. Oh
yeah and Sally moved in with me two days ago so that's been a big hassle getting all her stuff over
to my house." Wufei concluded.
"Ah ha! Wufei has a girlfriend. " Duo remarked joyfully. While Wufei just rolled his eyes,
he wasn't up for denying what he knew was true. Duo continued though, "Aw Wufei it's cute. You
should ask her to marry you! No Never mind scratch that I don't want a bunch of little Wufei's
runnin' around calling me uncle."
At that Wufei began to protest, "Duo... you are not my brother therefore you could not be
any of my children's uncle and another thing is-" But Duo never got to find out what another thing
was because Heero sat down on the other side of the couch at that moment. "Good afternoon
Heero." Wufei greeted and Heero nodded so Wufei continued. "I came over because I remembered
you said you were looking for a job a couple of weeks ago at Quatre's, correct?" Heero nodded
again in Wufei's direction in a sign for him to continue. "So I asked up at work and they said they
have a few spots open if you are still free."
"You work with the Preventers right? I guess I could. Really I could work anywhere right
now for a little while. Could you give me a day or two to think about it?" Heero asked meeting
Wufei's eyes.
"Yeah. Just give me a call within the next two days and give me an answer, K?" Wufei
finished while standing to signify the end of the conversation while Duo who had been quietly
watching the whole time jumped up to lead Wufei to the door.
"I'll see you later Wuffie, nice talking to you and I hope everything goes well with the
wedding!" Duo proclaimed joyously while quickly shutting the door on Wufei.
Heero looked up curiously from the living room. "Wedding?" He asked to Duo who had
plopped down beside him on the couch.
Duo smiled mischievously. "I was planning Wuffie's wedding while you were in the room.
He is going to marry Sally."
At first Heero looked confused but then remembered that Duo had a way of teasing where he
sounded like he was totally serious. He concluded that it must be one of those times. He turned his
mind back to the Preventers. He wouldn't mind working there. There probably wouldn't be as
much work to do as their was right after the war either. Really though, he didn't want to be out
fighting that much anymore because he didn't want to get attached to the mind set again. He hadn't
gotten out of it yet but still at least he didn't sleep with a gun under his pillow anymore. Though,
Heero thought on a side note, the gun was not far, always withing reach if he needed quickly. Soon
Heero realized that Duo was sitting beside him watching him and he drew his attention back to
reality.
"Are you gonna take the job, it sounds good even though now it would probably be more of
a desk job. Although..." started Duo thoughtfully, "I'm sure you could work the field if you wanted
to."
"Yeah. I'll probably take it. It will pay good and I will know what I'm doing so it can't be
that hard." Heero answered
"See you're ready to take the job already. I don't know why you thought that you wouldn't
be sure yet." Duo finished while clicking the television back on so as not to miss the very end of his
previous show. Abruptly Heero had an idea.
"Duo, why don't you take a job with the Preventers too. It would give you something to do
and Wufei said there was more than one open spot right?" Heero asked somewhat thinking of
himself too. It was always easier for him to get along with people when Duo was around and it
would be especially helpful around people he used to work with.
"I guess I could," Duo replied clicking the mute button on his controller and turning around
to face Heero.
Heero nodded positively, "Yes. You should you won't have to ask Quatre for money
anymore either."
"I will then. When you call Wufei you can ask him if he'll find a place for me to okay?"
Receiving an affirmative nod from Heero, Duo turned back to the TV while Heero made his way to
the phone.
