March 29th, AC 195
Oh, Allah, I am very worried about my friends. Duo missed dinner, and I feel extreme pain coming from him. Wufei also missed dinner, and I feel confusion from him. Heero ate with Trowa and I, but the Japanese boy was colder and stonier than normal. What has happened here? I feel it all has to do with the American, but I have no idea what.
I tried to bring up the conversation with my lover, but Trowa said that if we were meant to know, someone would tell us. As if that would happen! On the other hand, I might be able to get Duo to tell me. Trowa has been very understanding about my sixth sense since we met, but this time I KNOW I have to do something before this all gets out of hand.
Maybe I should start from the beginning of this all. To tell you the truth, I have known about Duo's love for Heero. When I first met the braided pilot of Deathscythe and the stony brown haired pilot of Wing, I knew that Duo was in love. I mean you could just tell from the way he looked at Heero. There was this twinkle in his eye that was only there when he was doing something mischievous. To see them together breaks my heart, because the Japanese boy seems only interested in his missions, and telling people that he will kill them, Duo included.
Now, when we all finally got Wufei, or should I say when Duo got Wufei, to join us, I could tell there was another reason that he came, besides for the good of numbers. He seemed to look at the American the same way Duo looked at Heero. Only if he didn't think you were watching, would he slip and show some sort of emotion towards him.
Heero is an enigma. He is very mission oriented. He seems to like us enough. He never declined joining us other Gundam pilots as a team. I suppose he saw some sort of efficiency in that. More missions completed with a team than on our own. Allah, sometimes I want to smack him and show him the jewel he has in the love Duo possesses. And then again, I want to show Duo the love that Wufei has for him.
Duo is the bond of our team. If he were to leave, Wufei would go off on his own. Trowa and I would still be together, but we decided to become a team a while before we met the others. Heero would just do whatever Dr. J told him to do. I would be very upset if that were to happen. Nothing could make me want to lose my new friends.
Well, everything was fine, or so I thought when I woke up and checked my laptop. No mission plan arrived for today. I got the idea that the same went for Trowa as well, because he was cooking a big breakfast when I came in the kitchen. I made some tea and sat down to wait for the others. Heero arrived next and had some of the coffee that was sitting in the pot. Wufei then sat down at the table and glowered. He isn't much of a morning person.
Breakfast was almost completely cooked when Duo finally trudged in, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He was still dressed in his boxers and t-shirt, but then he hardly ever dresses for breakfast. As he sat down, Trowa brought breakfast to the table; strawberry pancakes, bacon, eggs, and toast. He made Duo's favorite. That was very sweet of him. The last mission was hardest on Duo, for he had the most damage done to his Gundam.
Duo's eyes lit up as he noticed what had been made, and dug in. He started talking about this really silly B Horror movie we watched last night. I joined in and we ended up talking most of the time. Trowa smiled slightly at us. Wufei looked like he would have smiled if that were something a warrior did. Heero just glowered and ate.
I noticed a little odd movement from Wufei, so I looked. He was trying to tell Duo that he had strawberry syrup on his mouth. Duo noticed this too, licked the syrup off, and thanked him. Wufei's eyes got a bit big, and suddenly, he stood up and left the room. That signaled the end of breakfast, for Heero got up and left for the study. I helped Trowa clean the kitchen, Duo headed off for the T.V. room.
After we cleaned everything up, I gave my green-eyed lover a quick kiss and told him I would be in the music room for a while. He smiled and said he was going into the gym to practice a few tricks for the circus. We parted and I sighed. Sometimes, we can do things together, but there are just a few things we like to do separately. I love playing with Trowa, he is excellent, but I had wanted to play a new song that Rashid had sent to me a few weeks ago.
Two hours after breakfast, I went out into the T.V. room, and joined Duo watching some talk show called Jerry Springer. It seems that on Earth in the time before the colonies, this show was very popular. To me, it was very messed up, and all the violence seemed unreal somehow.
I must have been sitting there for about 15 minutes of this show about hidden transvestites with Duo, when Trowa emerged from the gym and joined us. He took one look at the show, and turned to me. Whispering in my ear, he said, "Small one, if they still made this show, do you think Relena would haul Duo and Heero on it?"
I don't really know why, but I started giggling uncontrollably. I suppose the image of Duo on one arm and Relena on the other, pulling Heero from side to side while he yelled, "OMAE O KOROSU," was just too much.
All of a sudden, Duo stood up and tossed the remotes on the couch. I suppose we were slightly rude and exclusive in our behavior. He walked towards the study, only to reappear a minute later looking very depressed. He then headed towards the hangar. Probably to work on Deathscythe.
A little while later, Wufei returned inside to head up towards his room. He seemed to be taking his time walking through the house. I wondered what was going on with him. About fifteen minutes later, he headed off to the hangar. I made a mental note to myself to thank Rashid for buying a house with the T.V. room fully open. It made snooping on the others much easier.
Trowa changed the channel to an old classic movie called Braveheart. I had always thought the guy who plays the main character was cute. It was a pretty long movie, so I settled in for the long haul. After about half way through the movie, an intermission came, and Trowa and I decided to take a late lunch. We had sandwiches and some sodas, and took them back out to the T.V. We had just settled back down, when Heero walked out of the study.
"Doko wa baka?" (1)
"DUO is in the hangar working on Shinigami."
"Doko wa Chang?"
"Wufei is also in the hangar, possibly meditating, or working on Shenlong." I answered him. I turned around, during our favorite part, to glare at him. "Why do you ask?"
"No reason. Ja." The brown haired boy returned back to the study.
When the movie was over, I turned to Trowa. "I'm going to cook dinner. You can go practice more if you like, after you set the dinner table." I tried to sound very serious, but ended up giggling instead.
"Of course, little one, anything you wish." He set the table and then went back to the gym.
Heero came back out of the study, looking like he could have used a good cup of strong coffee. I made a pot while waiting for my stew to look like stew and not soup.
"Arigatou." The boy said, while pouring himself a cup. "Is dinner almost complete?"
"H-hai, in about 15 minutes I suppose. Would you please go get Duo and Wufei from the hangar."
"Ninmu Ryokai. (2)" And he walked away.
A few minutes later, I heard some running coming from the hallway. I saw a vague black streak pass me. Two minutes later, a very upset Wufei walked right past me, heading upstairs.
That was the last time I saw either of them. When Heero came upstairs to join Trowa and I, he had what looked like a bruise forming on his left cheek. "Heero, where did you get that bruise?"
"Don't worry about it. It's nothing."
I looked at Trowa. He shrugged in response. There was nothing left to say, and the meal passed in silence. When we were finished, Heero went back to the study, locking the door behind him, while I cleaned up with Trowa.
We tried to figure who would have hit Heero like that. Our only options were Duo and Wufei. Neither of us wanted to think about why either of those two would have hit Heero. Now, though, as I sit typing this, I can't help but wonder who hit Heero, and why would both Wufei and Duo miss a meal? I just don't understand what is going on between those three.
