Hateful Hotels

Part 2: Pesky Intruder

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Trowa's View~

Trowa sighed and rolled over for what was probably the eight time in the last fifteen minutes. The small hotel room that he was sharing with Heero was like an oven slowly cooking them alive. There was no air-conditioning, or even a fan that he could turn on to ease his discomfort. It was also in the middle of the night, and he needed to get to sleep for their early start in the morning.

Trowa looked over to the single bed next to his to find bright blue eyes staring at him. Heero must have been bothered by the heat too. He was wearing nothing but his boxers and his blankets were pushed off of him to the side of the bed. He also looked as if he had sweat forming on his forehead.

"It's hot." Trowa stated. Heero only nodded and looked around the room.

"You could open the window." He said. Trowa immediately got out of his bed and went to the window across the room.

He noticed the screen to keep out the bugs was ripped, but was to uncomfortable to care. As he slid the window open, a small cool breeze hit him lightly in the face. He took a moment to enjoy the cool air on his bare skin before climbing back into bed.

As the room began to cool down, the two pilots slipped into sleep easily...

It must have been only a few hours later when Trowa awoke to a small noise in the room. He could hear a small buzzing circling in the room at a steady pace. He did his best to ignore the little creature to all his ability, and eventually tuned it out. No sooner did he do that did he hear the buzz directly next to his ear. His eyes shot open as he felt a slight tickle in his ear and could hear the extremely loud buzz.

Trowa jumped out of bed a ran to the bathroom.

~Heero's View~

Heero's hand went to the gun under his pillow as he heard a loud rummaging in the bathroom. He looked around the room to find Trowa's bed empty and the light from the bathroom pooling into their room. He relaxed a bit and closed his eyes after realizing it was only Trowa.

But after fifteen minutes, Heero's curiosity got the best of him and he went to see what Trowa was doing. As he slowly approached to door, what he saw almost shocked him. There, sitting on the floor, was Trowa Barton with the most panicked and stressed look on his face, that he ever saw.

"Trowa? What the hell are you doing?" He asked as he leaned on the door frame. "Do you know how early it is."

Trowa's eyes met his and Heero experienced the full blow of Trowa's emotions. He was scared.

"I-it-it's-it's in my ear." The shocked pilot stammered. Heero frowned.

"What is?" Trowa's eyes begged him for help.

"A mosquito, it, it flew into my ear, I can't get it out. I can hear it buzzing around in there, and it won't come out!"

Heero stared at him for a moment. Had he gone insane? Was Trowa Barton afraid of a little bug?

"Please Heero, get it out!" Trowa pleaded.

Heero stared for a moment more before pulling the pilot up onto his feet. "Which ear is it?" He asked. Trowa pointed to his left.

Heero turned his head and looked closely into Trowa's ear. He couldn't see anything.

"Trowa, I think your just imagining things. I can't see anything." The next moment he had a small flashlight thrust into his hands.

"Look again." He commanded. Heero went along with it. He used the flashlight to look into Trowa's ear but still couldn't see anything. He turned the light off and shook his head.

"Trowa, I don't think it's in there." Heero remarked as he pulled Trowa up to stand. "Your best bet is just to go to sleep." Heero stepped out of the bathroom and motioned for him to follow. Eventually Trowa turned the light off, and they both got into their beds.

Trowa laid in bed, eyes wide open. He could still hear the damn thing.

~Heero's View~

*Dawn*

Heero looked over and found the taller pilot laying in the bed motionless, facing away.

"Did you sleep at all?" He asked.

"No." Was the quiet reply.

"Is the mosquito gone?" Heero smirked to himself.

Silence....

"I think it died in there."

Heero raised his eyebrows slightly.

Yeah! I wrote something!! *waves a little flag* The thing that happened to Trowa...that happened to me...I swear even after a year...the damn thing might still be in there. Although everybody told me it couldn't get that far, I say it did something in there the little ******. Ahem. Well, I'll try to update soon, I feel guilty for not posting in a while.
