He thinks he's so cool
Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I don't own…
Michi thinks its funny. Of course she knew he was interested. He told her during chem. And she doesn't mind. I know we have an open relationship, but, damn…She just smiles and says, "Our relationship is eternal, you can have a temporary one too, Ruka. I don't mind. Besides, Trowa's hot." "Michi!" I shout.
She thinks it's funny. I grab some bedding and storm out of our bedroom, heading for the living room couch. I curl up and try to sleep by shutting my eyes tightly. All I see is him, and I want him, and my body makes it well known. I briefly consider bedding with Michi tonight to retrieve my aching needs but feel ashamed at the idea.
I open my eyes in order to escape his image. "I wonder," I whisper into the darkness off our empty living room, "Where he's gone…Trowa…" For the first time I speak his name and it feels…I feels…
I'm sure she's thinking of me right now. She's upset and frustrated. I'm sure she's huffing in annoyance and blushing in that cute way she does. She tasted good. I can't even think of a food that could compare, maybe an element, maybe air.
It's just a basic infiltration, data gathering, destruction mission. Such simple and far between missions have given Quatre and Duo a spark of hope that the war might be over soon. Not the case. "This is just the calm before the storm," Wufei sighed as he heard their sentiment.
Quatre and I are waiting for a signal form Heero. Once he gathers all the data he needs and uploads a virus, we will detonate the explosives we've planted. I hear the crack and crinkle of dry leaves somewhere behind me. I reach for my weapon and I see Quatre hold his breath in a silent offering for a friend instead of a foe.
It's Heero. I nod and Quatre beams ay our comrade. In a silent sign, he signals for me to trigger the detonator. I flip the switch and wait for the upcoming boom. It never comes. I rapidly click it hoping something would happen. "Are you sure you set them right?" Quatre and I shoot Heero a "of course we did, we aren't new." "Just thought I'd ask." "What should we do, Heero?" Quatre asks concerned.
"We head back to our jeep, get our gundams, and demolish the base," he states naturally as he leads the way back to our jeep. We are almost there and I hear a click. "Heero…?" "Hnn." He takes out his gun as Quatre and I do the same. We walk steadily to our vehicle. We reach the clearing that it's parked in. There are Oz soldiers waiting there.
I raise my weapon to fire but am hit in the back of the skull. As I drop, I see Heero and Quatre go down struggling. There's a sharp pain in my shoulder and I realize Quatre's shouting out for me, asking if I'm alright. We're being packed into the jeep and they're cheering because they've caught us.
And I know the war has just gotten worse. And I know we'll be out of this by the end of the night. And I know Heero already has a plan. And I know Quatre's more worried for me than his own head wound. And I know Wufei and Duo won't take this lying down. And I know I don't have to worry for my own safety. And none of this makes me content because I honestly don't know when I'll see her again.
