Shouri: Heyla minna! Here's chapter five! Yes, I know, it's very very short... but I just couldn't make it any longer, and I couldn't find a better place to cut it off... please forgive!
Guys... please review! Even if I finish this entire story before you ever read it, at least give me an overall rating review, or a way to improve my writings... yish, even a favorite/least favorite parts review... at the end of the entire fic! I really would appreciate it, and it will help me to improve, and to be motivated to write more! Thank you!
Enjoy!
ROADTRIP!
Chapter 5
Nearly four hours later, Quatre is sure he is going to break his teeth with the force behind the clench of his jaw.
'Only two and a half more hours… oh Allah, only two and a half more hours!' Quatre prays. Even with the half hour stop to wrestle Duo into the back, they should still make it to the safe house with twenty minutes to spare for their contact with the doctors.
"Maxwell, I am going to kill you!"
"Aw, but Wu… what'd I do?"
"That's it! I'm going to strangle you with your own braid!"
"ACK! Heero, help! Wufei is trying to maul me!"
"Cut it out you two." Heero states in a tired monotone, not even glancing into the back seat where Duo has managed to pin Wufei, despite the fact that Wufei has a strong grip on three feet of braided brown hair, and is slowly succeeding in wrapping it around Duo's throat.
There is a short period of scuffling, a gag as Wufei manages to put pressure on Duo's Adam's apple, and a wheezy curse as Duo digs a knee into Wufei's groin. Then the duffle bags behind Quatre's chair suddenly slide into his headrest, jolting his entire seat.
"THAT'S IT!" With a high-pitched shout, Quatre slams on the brakes and whips around in his seat, eyes gleaming in a particularly familiar, not-quite-sane way.
"You two are professional terrorists, currently two of the five biggest threats to the Earth sphere Alliance, and two of the deadliest individuals in existence! Now will you PLEASE stop acting like TWO-YEAR-OLDS!" Quatre shrieks, starting to hyperventilate. Duo looks at him with his face slack, and Wufei's eyes widen slightly, before both of them shift silently back into their original positions and look in opposite directions.
Breathing hard, Quatre turns about and resumes driving.
'Thank God for the fact that no one uses this road anymore… the way this trip is going we would have been involved in at least two accidents by now, and the instigator of three times that many… not the best actions to preserve our cover…' Heero thinks tiredly, calmly stretching his right leg out and pulling his left leg back in to take some of his weight off of Trowa's thighs, a procedure he has been repeating approximately ever thirty minutes since he took up the position on the taller boy's lap.
'Finally! Quiet!' Quatre muses, a faint smile creeping across his face as the long stretch of peaceful silence stretches on for a minute, and then five, and then for a whole quarter of an hour!
'Maybe I will survive this trip after all…'
Shouri: Heh heh... Quatre went Zero... oh, and in case anybody didn't realize this... Wufei and Duo really weren't seriously trying to kill each other, otherwise there would have been a lot more blood and violence... and prolly death. So in their own, soldier-y, repressed way, they were wrestling. You know, playing with each other! They were just mock fighting so no one could accuse them of playing! From the way I see it, Duo and Wufei don't annoy each other nearly as much as most authors make it out they do. The series hinted at the fact that Wufei and Duo at least respect each other, and that while they probably do have differences of opinion and misunderstandings, they are not at each others throats. Go read my "How Do You Tell" fic, it's totally unrelated to this series, but it gives one of MY versions of how Duo and Wufei's relationship could be interpreted, while still keeping in close contact to the behaviors they exhibit in other fics where authors employ stereotypical, fan-produced behaviors for their relationships.
Bluff and bluster.
Anywho, I hope you enjoyed! Please review! Tankiwa! Ja!
