Living By the Hour
Duo stands beneath the overhang, his pea-green coat wrapped tightly around his body. The bus is late, and he's already memorized all the ads and graffiti at the stop.
"Damnit, Heero," he mutters. He can't feel his toes in his boots anymore, and shifts from foot to foot.
The cup of coffee in his hand is swiftly cooling, and he lifts it to his lips. The wind starts up again, and Duo curses and spits as loose strands of hair whip around his face. He tries to drink again, but his fingers fumble at the task, and the coffee is splashing on the sidewalk before he can blink.
"Well, there goes money I could've spent on porn..." he grumbles, watching his cup skitter and roll into the street. He tucks his fingers under his elbows and rocks back on his heels.
"Why do you always have to take the stupid bus?" he says, and resigns himself to more waiting with a frosty sigh. "More importantly, why am I always coming out to meet you now?"
