Chapter three is finally done! It should've been done days ago, I know. There are just so many other things I have to do in life.
*Someone whispers in the background* "Chibi Master was reading The Vampire Chronicles all weekend."
IT'S A GOOD SERIES!! I just couldn't put the Tale of the Body Thief down until it was done! Yeash!
Anyways, I would like to apologize for the spelling mistakes and typing errors. The word processor I use is stone age, I need a new one. I believe I've been adding words to the spell check dictionary because it's so old!

Trowa didn't think his blond friend had stopped smiling once since they left the Life Skills room. He was thrilled about the whole idea of raising an egg child, for reasons Trowa didn't understand. During the the class he chattered all about things they could do with 'Kae' and how much fun they were going to have. Trowa didn't particularly mind doing the project, nor did he mind being Quatre's partner, he even understood the need to take such a class. To learn responsibility, how to be parents, and how to work as a team were all things people needed to know. Except Gundam Pilot's didn't need to know how to be parents due to the fact that they probably won't survive the war.
"Trowa, do you think Kae should sleep here?" Quatre's voice startled Trowa out of his thoughts. He looked across the room from where his was standing, to see Quatre place the little brown basket on the end table between their beds. Trowa nodded at the petite blond in reply. "Great, so while Kae takes a nap, lets discuss who he stays with during the day." Quatre smiled and whipped out the papers Mrs. Tebbet gave them. "Would you mind having him in first class? I could take him in third, then we both can take care of him in second. Or I could have him in first and you have in second-" Trowa put a hand up to signal Quatre to stop.
"I think the first option is fine." Trowa said quietly. Quatre looked away sheepishly and mumbled a sorry. He then went on to explain the things that he thought they should do together for Kae. Trowa listened quietly to everything his friend had to say about the project.
In the end he decided he would agree to do everything Quatre wanted in order to keep him happy. He just didn't feel like ruining his friend's good mood. After all, what was the worst that could happen while pretending that an egg was his son.
Heero stopped in his tracks when he came out of the bathroom to find Duo laying on his bed staring at the egg, Gary. The braided boy was laying on his stomach with the egg sitting in front of him, unmoving, not speaking, just staring. Creepy. Heero crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. "Have you done any of the things on the list yet?" Duo looked up and frowned.
"I think it's sleeping." Heero raised an eyebrow at the response. "Well Heero, I don't know what to tell you, it's not like it has eyes." Heero sat down on the bed and looked at Duo. The boy was obviously unwilling to go along with Mrs. Tebbet and imagine Gary as a real living being. Heero would have to change his attitude, although he had trouble doing it himself.
Heero leaned over Duo and grabbed Gary, then headed to the bathroom. "I'm going to give him a bath." He said as he entered the bathroom and plugged the sink. While waiting for the water to fill up, he got a bar of soap out, along with a face cloth and small towel. When the sink was full of warm water, Heero turned the taps off, set the egg in gently and then began using soap to clean it. He didn't notice Duo leaning in the doorway with a little smirk on his face as he scrubbed the egg carefully. When he began drying it though, he saw Duo's reflection in the mirror.
"Was Gary a good boy for you Heero?" Duo grinned as the boy walked over to stand in front of him.
"Yes. Hopefully he will be as good for you when you feed him." Heero said as he put the egg into Duo's hands and walked out of the bathroom. Duo stood there confused for a moment until he realized what Heero wanted him to do. He went and found Heero sitting at his laptop typing away, and stood behind him.
"Would you be so kind as to point out where it's mouth is Heero." Duo asked as he held the egg in front of him. Heero stared at it a moment before he started typing again. "That's what I thought! You have no freakin idea! And yanno why? Because it doesn't have a mouth Heero. I would think a highly trained and observant soldier such as yourself would have noticed that tiny little detail by now." Duo set the egg on the desk then stalked over and flopped onto his bed. "I don't care what you say Heero. I refuse to do something so stupid and useless." Duo said as he turned to face the desk.
Heero closed his laptop and sat looking at the egg. Duo didn't want to raise the egg. No, Duo didn't want to help raise their egg. He knew how stupid that sounded. He didn't realize how much he actually cared about the project until Duo said how stupid it was. Heero never had to take care of another thing before, besides his Gundam. It was a new experience for him, and Duo didn't want to help him. It made him feel angry and...something else too. He wasn't sure what it was though.
Heero picked up the egg, grabbed its bed off the desk, and placed it inside. He saw Duo watching him as he headed for the door but didn't look at him. "If you don't want to do this that's fine. I will do it alone then." Heero said, then went into the hall and closed the door to their dorm. He then quickly made his way to the cafeteria.
"Hi Trowa, is Quatre here?" A distracted Duo asked. Trowa shook his head.
"He went shopping with Kae." Duo didn't look surprised.
"Okay, thanks anyway. Could you tell him I need to talk to him, when he gets back?" Trowa nodded. "Thanks. See ya later." He said and began to turn away.
"Duo." Trowa said quietly. Duo spun around to face the tall boy. "Is it something I can help you with?" He asked. Duo looked up surprised.
"Well...If your not busy..It's about Heero..and the project. " Duo answered. Trowa stepped back and opened the door to let him in.
"Come in."
Trowa sat down on his bed and Duo sat on the floor in front of him. He looked very unsure about himself, but Trowa waited patiently until Duo was ready to talk. Moments passed before Duo finally spoke. He told Trowa how about his outburst at Heero, how he told Heero that he thought the whole project was stupid. He told him what Heero said just as he left the room.
"I think I hurt him." Duo said. "I didn't know he would react like this. It's an egg, a little school assignment." Trowa looked at the braided boy and noted how worried he looked.
"It's important to him. For Quatre it is the same, although they may have different reasons." Trowa explained.
"What about you. What do you think about it?" Duo asked.
Trowa shrugged. "I'm not sure. But I think that if I go along with it, maybe I might understand why Quatre likes it so much. Perhaps he will influence me."
The room was quiet for a moment before Duo broke the silence. "I should apologize to him shouldn't I?" Trowa nodded. Duo sighed then got up and headed to for the door. "All right. Thanks Trowa." Duo said as he opened the door.
"Remember that Heero has feelings too, regardless of how he acts." Trowa replied.
"Right." Duo closed the door.
Trowa shook his head. The whole egg business was complicating things. It was just getting weirder and weirder. Next he'll see Quatre dressing the egg up in clothes. Trowa shook his head again as he reached for his book. "Good thing Wufei isn't here." He said quietly.

~_~ Oh gawd that turned out way different than I planned. I hope it isn't too bad...*sweat drop* Anyways, I still haven't decided if this is a Shonen-ai fic. I don't think I'm gonna plan on anything, just see what happens as I go. Right now I'm aiming for them just being friends. I think the awkwardness of them acting like a couple when they aren't makes it more humorous. Maybe maybe maybe, if I'm inspired, I'll write a sequel when this one is done, and that can be shonen-ai. But it all depends on the reaction this one gets.
Well the next chapter will be out soon...hopefully I don't get too sidetracked reading or something along those lines. ^_^
