Disclaimers: I don't own the characters. I wish I did but then again I wish I had a camel. If I owned these characters I would have a camel, and I wouldn't have to go saying I'm a camel now would I? Get the gist? I dun own it so dun sue.. all you would get would be a beanie camel that spits.

Anything else I should let you guys know let me know. Happy reading. Oh and I don't give away whose POV it's in, I like to make you guess all the time. Hahaha

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dammit. Duo just offered to let me live with him. And I accepted.

Quatre… you are an idiot.

It's not that I have anything against the braided pilot, no way, it's just… I've had a certain dislike for people lately. And goddamn, he was looking like he was so worried about me, it was making me sick, well, sicker.

Speaking of sick, I skimmed the shelves quickly and grabbed a medicine that seemed appropriate for me.

"So, shall we buy our medicine and then head to wherever?" he asked me.

"I guess so, where are we going though?" I had to admit, I needed to know.

"Well, I was thinking we would go to your place to get some of your clothes then off to my place, if that sounds alright."

Alright?? ALRIGHT!?!? I started coughing half on purpose so he wouldn't see me flipping out or anything. We can't go to my place, he can't see my house. If he were to see the mess I made last night… that would be impossible to explain. Dammit Quatre why did you have to go and accept. … I hate it when people care about me, that's why I ran away.

I guess I could have backed out of it somehow. I could have, and I planned on it, I didn't want duo to have to deal with me in a bad mood, no most definitely not. I went to spoke up, "Yeah that sounds like a good idea."

WOAH!!!! What the hell!?!? I didn't just say that!?!? I really wanted to just kick myself. I did not plan to say that. I looked at the relief on duo's face and for a second thought I saw something more then relief, something darker.

I really couldn't stand there and analyze his look as I was quickly overwhelmed by another coughing fit. Damn, I really did sound bad.

I see why duo would worry, I practically sound like a dying animal. If I lived alone and stayed this sick or got worse, I don't think I would come out of it in good shape. Dammit, why did I have to accept duo's offer.

What's even worse is I don't know how I accepted it. I didn't want to, well, maybe a little. I always have been fond of duo, I liked him the best out of the 4 other pilots.

Duo was holding on to a suspiciously large bottle of aspirin, I didn't bother to ask him about it. He started to walk towards the cash registers, and I followed.

We both paid for our medicine and then walked out to the parking lot.

"Where's your car duo?" I asked, looking at duo, who hadn't made any attempt to look at or go to his car.

"I walked here, my house is kinda close. So, do you think we should go to you're place so you can get some stuff then go to mine?"

okay, the situation overall was a little spontaneous and I don't think either one of us knew what exactly it is we were doing.

"Uhmmm.. that sounds good I guess." God, I only hope I can get him to stay in the car while I get my stuff.

We headed toward my car and I got in the driver's seat, duo got in next to me. I started up the car and drive out of the parking lot.

We drove in silence for about three minutes. Duo never did like silence…

"So, Quatre… what have you been up to lately?"

loaded question, why oh why did I have to go to –that- drugstore? "Well, not much really, I've just sort of been hanging out." I say, my coughing seems to have died down the slightest bit, maybe the store was dusty or something.

"Sounds like mountains of fun." He says sarcastically.

"Really, what have you been up to?"

"I've been having mountains of fun." His voice was nearly dripping with sarcasm

I giggle slightly and we end up talking little idle chat for a while. It was actually quite comfortable. We both managed to talk about things without really saying much.

We talked like that for about an hour before duo looked at the clock in the car.

"Hey, Quatre, how far is your house? We've been driving for almost an hour now."

"Oh, it's maybe an hour away still. I like long drives, so I went out of the way today." Duo looked over at me weirdly and then sighed and shook his head.

"You're an odd one sometimes."

Boy, was he right. I didn't want to get too deep or anything though. "Yeah, sometimes."



We eventually pulled up to my house. Duo looked surprised at how modestly small it was. It was also pretty secluded too.

"Duo, you can wait here while I go get my stuff. I'll be quick."

"You don't want me to help you?" No, most certainly not.

I smiled weakly and shook my head. "No, I'll be ok, I'll be in and out in a minute."

Before he could protest I opened my door and stepped out, shutting it behind me. I started walking up to the house and resisted the urge to just run in and lock the door.

I couldn't run though, my muscles were feeling rather sore from the fever I knew I was running. I wanted to run, I could almost feel duo's eyes burning my back as I walked. I hated the feeling, like he was watching, studying me.

Dammit Quatre! He's your friend! He isn't gonna hurt you! Still.. I can't help but feel watched.

I finally reached the door and, unlocking it, walk in. I walk to where my room is and gather some of my things, moving slower then I normally would.

I was really starting to feel like shit.

I finally get all my things together, mostly black long sleeved shirts and pants.

The lighter colors just started to annoy me after a while, they just seemed so… happy. It was annoying, like they would laugh at me.

I put all my stuff in a suitcase. Before I closed it though, I grabbed my pack of razors out of my drawer and folded them up in a shirt. I closed the suitcase and headed toward the door.

I was sick as hell, my arm and my back especially were burning from the cuts along with the added pain from the fever. I was a mess physically. And so much worse mentally.

And I was doing the stupidest thing in my life.

I was gonna live with duo for a while.
