Wufei sat down comfortably in a chair in the living room and smiled. He had his favorite tea brewing next to him, the new irresistibly addicting Harry Potter book in his hands, and Duo had been very quiet all afternoon. He sighed happily as he sipped some tea and opened his novel. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched Duo slide into the room, look at him shyly and move towards the couch. Wufei looked back at his book.

Duo flopped down on the furniture, and picked up a magazine, leafing through it mindlessly as he watched Wufei through his long lashes He opened his mouth to ask a question and then shut it, furrowing his brows and then relaxing and leaning back against the cushion. "Whatcha reading, Wufei?"

Wufei rolled his eyes behind his book. He knew it was too good to last. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." he replied, and waited for the next question. Duo however, chose to remain silent, and a slightly puzzled Wufei returned the adventures of Hogwarts.

Duo looked down at the magazine he was reading and got an idea. He walked over to the bookshelf and took down a book, leafing through it, he began to mutter to himself. "No, not this, not there. Dammit, it must be in here somewhere..."

Wufei looked up at Duo with an irritated expression on his face, and asked "What are you doing, Duo?"

Duo looked up startled from his book, "I'm looking for something."

"Obviously. What are you looking for?"

"A word to replace another word."

"Try a thesaurus, not a dictionary. Dictionaries are for definitions, a thesaurus is for word replacement." Wufei looked back at his book, and then curiosity got the better of him. "What word are you trying to replace?"

"Words, actually. I'm writing a letter to someone and I'm looking for a replacement for 'current situation', I've used it about a hundred times."

Wufei racked his brain for a few minutes and then remembered his last mission report. "Status Quo."

Duo wrinkled up his nose, and then smiled. "That's good. He might like that, he's kinda into formality and all that jazz."

"Glad to be of help, Duo." Wufei said as he looked back down at his book and Duo walked into the other room smiling.

Wufei put down the book and decided he could use a break. Besides, he was wondering what had happened to Duo. He hadn't heard a peep from him for over 2 hours. He stretched as he walked down the hall towards Duo's room. He looked absently into his own open door as he passed and continued down the hall. Screeching to a halt, he turned his head around to look at his door. He NEVER left it open. In fact, he left it locked. He turned around and stomped into his room, ready to kill that damn baka when he got the chance. As he muttered curses under his breath, he noticed an envelope on his pillow. His anger left him and he sat down and picked up the envelope. It was titled "Status Quo: Ours." He opened the envelope and began to read.

His puzzled features were watched by violet eyes from the hallway. Duo's faced looked up slightly and into blue eyes. He smiled feebly as he and Heero watched Wufei read his letter. Their letter really. All three of theirs, because without Wufei the title would have been "Current Situation: Ours" and that sounded really stupid.
