"I had a feeling you will be back." David said smugly as he held the door open for the aforementioned Heero Yuy. You are hooked. I knew it was just a matter of time. He never let anyone who has that sort of potential slip from his fingers. Especially one of said name related to a Colony Leader. Scratch that. The word was identical.

"You did not feel. You knew." Heero moved to his temporary assigned seat.

"It's the same thing, isn't it?" David leaned his upper body against the meeting table one hand supporting his head across Heero. The other hand, one finger pointing out, was swinging tantalizingly at the face of Heero. "To feel, to know," He pointed to his head. "it's all in the head..." He withdrew his body from the table and moved to his seat in one smooth action. "To resent, to hate. To speak, to say. All the same."

Heero turned his head to look at him in the eye. "That's a far-fetch comparison. To know is to be aware of a fact or a specific piece of information. To feel is to have an intuitive awareness of a yet to be proven fact. They are very different. Whereas, resent and hate are both feelings of dislike. And to speak and to say is to express oneself in form of words."

David's eye widened in surprise before commenting, "What did you do in your spare time? Recite from a dictionary?"

Heero turned his head away, desperately hiding his blush, murmuring something that sounded suspiciously like 'yes'. David grinned in amusement. What do we know? We learn a new thing everyday...

"I didn't know you were interested in politics that much." Trowa said, walking beside an irritated-looking Heero Yuy.

"Why are you here? Aren't you still pretending not to know me before?" Heero growled. He deliberately walked many steps ahead before cocking his head back at Trowa. "There are many things you don't know about me, Trowa."

"Well, well, then there will be plenty of time to know those things, don't you think? Since we are on first name basis already." Trowa winked at Heero before trotting away to hook the arms of one Dorothy Catalonia, leaving behind one angry Yuy trying to burn a hole through Trowa's head by glaring. Dorothy looked like she was trying to hide a giggle by leaning her head a little closer to Trowa, barely having the decency to control the slight quiver of her shoulders.

Today's meeting was not as serious as that previous Friday. Perhaps, because of the addition of the non-committee members in the club. It had not made much sense to Heero yet as of what had caused the drastic change of atmosphere at the meeting. It was relaxed. It was nearly like the normal life of youngsters that drew him back to school in the first place. And Trowa teasing him like that. He almost felt... safe.

But no.

There was something bad about it. He could almost feel it.

That Friday had not been like any other meeting. It was as though the club had been leading a double life. One on the surface that seemed to be like any other Political Studies Club in Universities discussing political happenings in the World, the other seemed to be discussing the deeper underlying meaning of those political movements that would not stop at observation. It almost felt like they had roles and connections to take critical action. And there were the presence of Trowa and Dorothy. But why? And how? What for?

If Duo were here, he would have teased Heero endlessly for being paranoid. If Wufei were here, he would have just whacked Heero on the head for thinking too much. Trowa, well, he's here already. But if it was Quatre...

Heero sped all the way back to his dormitory.
