Neither one of us had a car, but Wufei's house was within walking distance. It may have been a cold January day, but since we were walking, we didn't really feel much of the cold. Of course Quat had insisted on buying me a decent coat for Christmas. I swear he spoils me like I'm his little brother or something. I guess he feels guilty that I have no family whereas he has twenty nine sisters. He invited me to go home with him to Arabia, but I had to decline since I had to work over Christmas break to keep the rent up to my apartment. I had promised him though, to go home with him over Easter break. I talked to my boss Howard, and he was ok with it. I guess he's glad that I found someone else sides Zechs to call family.
Quatre and I made it to Wufei's house and noticed that he wasn't home. I looked at Quatre, he shrugged. We decided to sit down on Chang's porch and do homework. When the cold finally settled into our bones, Quatre decided to find a way into Wufei's house. I just stared at Quat's retreating back. I had never expected that out of him.
If anyone should be breaking in, it should be me. I was the ex-thief and all. A few minutes later the door to Wufei's house opened and I was staring at a grinning and proud Quatre. I rolled my eyes at him and snatched up our stuff.
As I walked through the door, Quatre bowed as if he were a butler. I began to giggle cause the thought of the young billionaire heir as a butler seemed funny to me. My giggle fit caught up to Quatre and we were both just laughing so hard that we were crying.
We knew our way around Wufei's house quite well. We would to come to his parties on the weekends and ended up spending the night. On several occasions I would find myself waking up in Wufei's arms in his bed.
Of course Wufei only saw me as a friend and I didn't push him into anything. He told me that he was just some silly crush and I would realize it and move on. I wish I had listened then and stayed away from him.
Quatre and I took a shower together, we decided that we wanted to get to bed as soon as possible and that I needed help with my long chestnut hair that hung down to my knees when released from it's braid. It's quite hard to wash all that hair alone, so normally me and Quat shower together so that I can get my hair as clean as possible. When we were finally done, we crashed in Wufei's room and on his bed.
--Dream—
There was blood and carnage everywhere. My fellow orphans were hard to identify. I frantically searched for Sister Helen and couldn't find her. I was panicking that I couldn't find her body. I needed her to tell me to live my life and give me her cross, the cross that meant so much to me. Then the scene before me was gone and it was black everywhere and it was so cold that I could feel myself shiver. There was Solo before me. He narrowed his eyes at me in anger.
"It's your fault that I died Duo. You didn't get the medication to me in time. You could have ran faster, but you didn't. You took your grand ol' time."
--End Dream—
I woke up gasping for air and covered in sweat. That nightmare wasn't as bad as the others. The others were worse. Sister Helen would blame the bombing on me with the other children singing in a eerie voice behind her.
I shuddered at the memory of the worse nightmares. I glanced at the doorway and noticed that Wufei was standing on the doorway studying me with those onyx eyes.
"How'd you get in here?" He asked with amusement in his voice.
I grinned sheepishly. "You should ask Quatre that one." I pointed at Quatre's sleeping form.
At the sound of his name Quatre woke up, rubbing his aquamarine eyes of sleep.
Quatre looked from me to Wufei. "I suppose you're wondering how we got in here uh?"
Wufei nodded his head. Quatre climbed out of bed and motioned for me to follow him. I followed them to the room next to Wufei's.
"This window was open and it was close to ground. I opened it and climbed into this room and then opened the door for Duo."
"Aa, that's that my escape window. I use it for emergencies. Why don't we go back to my room?" He asked. Something unnerved me the way he said that. There was something…off with Wufei. I couldn't place my finger on it, but something was definitely odd.
I shrugged it off and followed them both back to Wufei's room. I crawled onto the bed and sat beside Quatre.
"You guys want any vodka?" Wufei asked. I looked at Quat and he nodded his head at me.
"Of course. Hey Wufei, do you still have those dice?" Quatre asked innocently. I knew he was planning something, but what?
Wufei blinked. "Yea I do. Want me to bring them up as well?"
"If you don't mind."
"Of course not Quatre."
Quatre and I sat there thinking until Wufei returned with said items.
