Interlude
____________________________________________

Little Heero Yuy and Odin Lowe sat around a burning fire in the middle of the wilderness, having somewhat of a celebration over their victory of destroying a rebel base. Heero sat with his knees against his chest and his arms wrapped around his legs as he stared transfixed on the dancing fire before him.

Odin was busy opening a bunch of canned beans and vegetables when he heard a quiet quiver from his partner, he glance over at the small figure of Heero noticing his body was shaking with chills. "Stubborn kid," He thought Irritably glancing over at his backpack, inside laid a worn wool afghan that was sure to keep his counterpart nice and toasty.

Odin reached over toward the backpack and yanked the sheet out of the unzipped region of the bag, while Heero was so busy trying to warm his hands that he barely conscious to the world around him until he felt a warm sensation spread through his being.

A small gasp escaped his lips, he glanced up at Odin who gave him a smirk and ruffled his hair, Heero waved his hands over his head swatting away the older man's hand from his head in a huff.

Odin rolled his eyes handing him a cup of warm milk, Heero gingerly removed the small cup from his hands wincing slightly at the sting caused by the heat. He glanced down at the milk realizing it was a pale shade of white, his straight mouth formed a frown just as he glanced up at Odin cocking his eyebrow at him.

"What?" Odin said wondering what he had done wrong. Heero pointed a finger down at the content inside his cup. "There's no chocolate," He said emotionlessly.

Odin gave him a disbelieving look before returning to his place beside his backpack while Heero sipped at his milk feeling a great deal better now that he was warm.

Author's note: Heya everybody! I'm surprised I've gotten a whole bunch of others reviews besides Mama-Sama! (no offense). This chapter is simply a very short interlude to keep you busy while I'm working on chapter four. I did have half of the story written out but when I hit the save button on my file, I figured it was saved and I had less to work on. The next day, POW! The chapter title had changed back after I had fixed it and everything I had written was gone! I was hoppin' mad!! *Clears throat* Adios! Sakura123~
