Quatre sighed as he relaxed in the passenger seat of The Black Lincoln that
belonged to Une. Une took one look at Quatre, then put her foot down on the
gas and they sped out of the truck lot.
They'd been driving for a good hour before Une finally spoke to Quatre, who'd been fiddling with the edge of his shirt the entire time and pretending to be listening to the radio.
"Quatre, is there something on your mind you'd like to talk about?" She said, glancing over at him to find him still intent on wearing off the edge of his shirt.
"No." Was Quatre's quick reply as he tugged on the shirt in two places and drew the fabric taught. "I'm fine, Une. Honestly."
Une gave a crooked smile as she pulled in to a fast food parking lot and put the car in park. "Quatre, I know better. You don't act like this all the time; in fact, you never act like this. what's wrong?"
Quatre sighed and looked at Une with defeated eyes "I kissed Duo, Une..." Quatre said quietly as he picked up her cigarettes and put one in his mouth, then searched around for a lighter. Une pulled one out of her left pocket and held it out to light the cigarettes for him.
"Did you now?" She said with a sly grin. "And how did that go?"
"Horrible..." Quatre answered. "It was a spur of the moment move. he startled me while I was dressing, and I just...wasn't thinking. when you honked the car horn it brought me back to reality."
"Oh, well I'm sorry then." Une replied. "I didn't know I was interrupting an intimate moment."
"No, no, no... I don't think Duo...I mean... That he..." Quatre stammered as her spoke, his fingers squeezing the poor defenseless cigarette in his hands.
"Wanted you to?" Une said as she leaned forward and against the steering wheel to look him in the eyes. Quatre nodded silently and took a long drag form the cigarette. "Then you're one blind kid, Quat." She whispered quietly to herself as she got out of the car and walked into the restaurant for some munchies.
It was four AM by the time they got back to the truck stop. Une waited and watched to make sure Quatre got back to Duo's truck and in alright, then pulled around to hers. after re-securing her car with the load, she ran to the front of the truck and hopped in the door.
But instead of taking off immediately, she glanced into the back of her truck to find her favorite little black haired treat sleeping on her bed. She smiled to herself and kissed two of the lady in her bed's fingers, then started up the truck and pulled out, honking the horn at Duo's truck to wake him up.
And wake up he did. Duo shot straight up in bed when he heard the horn honk "I promise mom, I won't try to steal the neighbor's car again!" He muttered as he lay back down.
He didn't stay in his half-dreamy state for long though, because Quatre jumped onto the bed, landing so he straddled Duo.
"Wake up, Duo!" he said with a smile" You said to wake you when we got back so we could go!"
Duo nodded and muttered to himself as he motioned towards the coffee pot." first...drink.." Quatre shook his head and nodded.
"all right Duo. I'll get you your coffee...but just this once" He said with a wink as he hopped off of him and got to his feet to start the coffee. As he stood there though, his senses seemed to snap back to him. / Quit it Quatre. this is just the thing Father would have slapped you for doing. just make the coffee and straighten up./
Duo stood up from bed and stretched, clad only in a pair of black silk boxers, and walked towards Quatre / and I'm not looking at his.../
"Is it done yet, Quat?" Duo whined as he got on his knees in front of the coffee pot and pawed at the stand it sat on.
"Give it a minute, Duo..." Quatre said with a slightly lower tone than earlier. "I'm going to lay down..."
Duo watched his friend walk away with a confused expression on his face. just a moment ago he had looked so happy, perky and just plain up./what got him so depressed suddenly?/ Duo thought as he watched Quatre take off his shirt and lay down out of the corner of his eye. Duo sighed and got up, pouring all the coffee from the very small pot into his over-sized mug . He took one last look back at the boy who was already falling alseep and turned the key in the ignition of the truck and pulled it out of the lot.
But Quatre wasn't asleep, he was laying with his back to Duo, and his eyes full of the long kept back tears
