Babble: This chapter is in Heero's POV. I like writing his POV
better for stories like this, because I see him as someone who thinks
and writes in a wordy manner. I write Duo as being kinda sarcastic and
laid-back, which definitely doesn't fit with this story much. So,
anyway, on with the chapter!!
Quatre held his hands tightly in his lap as he asked Duo to explain his situation - for the ninth time. Duo groaned and opened his mouth to explain yet again.
I sighed, cutting Duo off and looking at Quatre, "He was dead. His mother is Death. He decided he wanted to come back to us rather than stay with her. He came back from the dead during his funeral and realized what was going on. He stayed away from us. I found him at the cemetery lounging on his grave. How it that hard to get the first time he explained it?" I knew I was being unreasonable and rude, but I was getting irritable listening to Quatre ask the same question repeatedly. My outburst was uncharacteristic, yes, but even I have a point at which I get so annoyed I want to yell at someone.
Duo smirked and quickly gripped my shoulder to keep from laughing and Quatre simply looked shocked and began counting how many words I had said. I'm fairly certain I said 63 words. "Geez, Heero. That was completely unexpected."
I took a deep breath and buried my head in my hands, "Sorry. I'm just not feeling well." It wasn't far from the truth. I felt tired, cold. I wasn't quite sure what was making me feel that way. It was as much of a mystery as my unexplainable reactions to physical contact from Duo. I was, at the time, completely oblivious to what it meant.
Quatre's expression went from shock to concern within a single second, "You should rest, Heero. You actually don't look too well."
"I think I will." I stood from my place on the couch and headed towards my bedroom, giving the two of them a small half-smile. It was the closest to a real smile I could provide.
As I closed my door, I heard Duo's voice faintly as he told Quatre he was going to rest as well. I supposed he told him to go ahead back to his hotel. I wasn't really coherent by the time I sat on my bed. I didn't know why I was so tired suddenly, why I went from being irritated and angry to exhausted.
"Listen to each drop of rain
Whispering secrets in rain
Frantically searching for someone to hear
That story be more than it hides
Please don't let go
Can't we stay for a while?
It's just to hard to say goodbye
Listen to the rain" (1)
I had never heard the song before, but it echoed through my subconscious as I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up later the next day to the sound of talking. I couldn't quite grasp what had happened the day before, my mind strangely muddled from exhaustion. I couldn't remember, no matter hard I tried, what had happened after I closed my door, but I remembered the song clearly, the crisp dictation of the lyrics and the tone of the voice. It was sad, but had this hopeful sound to it. What amazed me even more about it was the fact that I didn't actually hear it. Not in the traditional sense, at least. It was almost like wearing headphones, the sound only heard close by, almost as if it really is simply in your head. Only this song truly was in my mind. Some part of me was aware that the room was completely empty and silent despite the music.
I sighed, shaking my head of the thoughts before exiting the room to see Duo talking to Quatre. They looked up as I entered, both offering bright smiles that nearly made my head hurt.
"'Morning, sunshine!" Duo exclaimed happily, and I cringed slightly.
"Can you not be so perky? Please?" I muttered, shuffling into kitchen and searching for means to make coffee (another of my secret addictions, aside from candy.) Although it shouldn't of surprised me, seeing that someone (I immediately guessed Duo) had already made coffee made my morning irritability to diminish slightly. I yawned as I poured myself a cup of the dark liquid, shuffling into the dining area to sit at the table next to Duo and across from Quatre, who were still talking. I was ignoring them, still unable to formulate a single coherent thought. Their words sounded like static to me, and I tried my best to block it out. No matter how hard I tried to block them out, bits of what they were saying passed through. Apparently, Quatre had gotten passed the shock of Duo's current situation, and had moved on to "catching up" mode. In other words, they were talking about absolutely nothing, except perhaps how Quatre's sisters were and what the weather was like in Death's realm.
"Heero?" Quatre's voice managed to squirm it's way into my thought stream, and I turned to glare at him with half-lidded eyes.
"Hn?" I grunted, taking a sip of the coffee.
"I'd like it if the two of you came back to L4 with me, just for a few days." Quatre's voice was far away.
"Hn." The wonders of the grunt, it can be interpreted many ways. For example, I meant nothing by that particular grunt. However, both Quatre and Duo assumed it to be a "Sure! Let's go!" because the next thing I knew, Duo was yet again dragging me towards some door or another. This time, it turned out to be my bedroom. Immediately, Duo decided to take things upon himself and began packing some of my clothes into a duffle bag that I didn't even know I had. I blinked, snatching a pair of jeans and a sweater from his rabid packing and began getting dressed, really not caring that Duo was in the room. "Why are you packing my things?"
"I dunno. Because I feel like it?" He grinned, "Don't complain! Deal with it! Get your laptop and be happy!"
And I did just that.
A/N:
(1) Does anyone know this song? It's a choir song, but I've got it on a burnt CD and can't figure out what the song is called. I think it's called "Listen." But it's so beautiful, I adore it. I'm actually listening to it right now. (I.e. as I'm writing this I'm suffering from insomnia and I'm hoping maybe the song will help me sleep. It's not. I just wanna sing along to it now. Or make Duo and Heero fuck like rabbits. Which I can't, since this story will remain PG-13 even if it kills me. XD)
Wow. I've made Heero completely OOC. But that's okay. I like my OOC Hee-chan. He makes me wanna giggle cuz he's soooo not a morning person. I'm liking how this is turning out. And by the time this chapter is up, I'll already be working on the next. Maybe. If your lucky. Sorry. You've read it, now review it! XD
