Chapter 11:
Mission with Trowa
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
By now it was morning, and Jessy slowly came into consciousness, the fresh, bring morning light filtering through a nearby window, directly onto her face. "Damn light." She cussed, as she tried to roll over and escape the morning rays, only to discover there wasn't enough couch to do so. *THUD* "Ow, Damnit." She said to herself, and slowly got to her feet, now much more awake than before, then she remembered exactly where she was, the memories of yesterday slowly filling her mind. "Everybody is probably awake now..." Jessy mused as she stumbled to the kitchen to make some morning coffee. "I am not a morning person..." She stated to herself, as she was busy putting the grounds in the filter.
She heard a step or so from behind her, which startled her to say the least, she hadn't heard them descend the stairs. "You fell off the couch?" Came a soft, quiet voice, of none other than Trowa.
"Yeah, my luck, I forgot..." She answered, shrugging, not turning around to face him while pouring a cup of coffee. "Here." She stated, handing a cup of coffee to the taller pilot, who accepted it willingly. As he sat down on a stool, at the counter, Jessy's mind had to speed up, and ask the question she was wondering. "Did you wake up last night?" She knew she heard a door creak slightly, last night while Duo was settling down.
"Yes, but I stayed in my room." He told her, the reply soft spoken, as always.
"Shit." She cussed at herself, it had to have been Heero who had heard. She was in trouble. "Heero, heard what Quatre and Duo were talking about...I'm going to die." She simply admitted as she sat beside the other.
"What were they talking about?" Trowa asked, his curiosity getting the better of him for once. He was wondering what the braided pilots and his love could have been so intent on discussing, in the middle of the night.
"Why Duo left..." He nodded, understanding now. "I have to tell you, he was an emotional wreck last night...But it was good they both expressed themselves, it wore them out I believe." She told him, and Trowa nodded, he knew Quatre had been so worked up, frustrated, and consumed lately, he had yet to let himself relieve himself of the clouding emotions.
"Should I tell Duo...You know, that Heero heard?" She was going to say something else, but she was interrupted.
"Yuy isn't the emotionally expressive type...I think it best he tell Duo himself, Heero might even express his emotions to him...Though I don't know how emotional the conversation was..." Trowa admitted, knowing Heero quite well from the time they had spent together.
"Quite, in fact..." She commented, and took a long swallow of the dark coffee. "You're weary of me, I can tell..." She told him, and his reaction was nothing but a nod. "You want to trust me, but your soldier self won't let you...I read your body language, your eyes, and your voice..." Jessy stated, and now that got Trowa's attention, she was very correct, he nodded again, a little hesitant this time though.
"How?" He questioned, few were so good at picking up on his signs of emotions and thoughts...Yet this new pilot had pointed them out very quickly, and almost easily.
"It becomes another sense to you, when I had to use it in every day life...When I was in my gang, a few years back, I learned all sorts of fighting skills...Of course you know one important part of fighting is observing, reading your opponent..." She stopped briefly, seeming to wonder if he was paying attention, or even cared, he nodded to tell her to continue. "I was taught to watch other gangs, their members, the person's movements, sound, everything and anything that would suggest their emotions or thoughts...I picked up the sense easily, and its part of my everyday life now." She explained herself, and Trowa nodded.
"I see." He simply stated, he understood that when you grow up on the streets, that observation is essential to live, its a survival skill...Keep up with the environment and the beings around you. It was similar to the way he grew up, though apparently Jessy's gang was loving, and caring of her, he never had anyone. His childhood was of beatings, fear, pain, and his military training.
"I can understand you, more than you think...I know your childhood must have been...Intense...To become how silent, and be able to put up an invisible wall around yourself, not letting no one but Quatre past those boundaries..." 'How the hell!?' Trowa thought, only Heero was wise enough to pick up on their relationship so far...Yet this girl had only known him a day, and knew...She was strange, it was unnerving, and even scary to think that she could read them so well. "I never should have said anything...Now you're going to see me as a 'freak', hell you and the other pilots are the first I've ever tried to read with my emphatic abilities...I know Quatre has emphatic senses also, but he's not sure how to use them...I learned to use mine years ago, but when I became part of Oz, I shut it down...I wouldn't let it take over my own judgment, I wanted to make mistakes, and understand things without my abilities...It seems I did worse than I imagined, I should have never abandoned my skills, maybe none of this would have never happened..." Trowa was dumbstruck, the girl was an emphatic! Did Quatre know?
"No. You're wrong, I didn't understand you...Tell me this though." He paused, and Jessy looked at him in slight confusion, but nodded telling him to continue. "Do you have...*feelings* for Duo?" He was unsure to ask it, but he knew he had to, it was obviously slowly killing Heero. Also it had egged him since he first ever seen her, little over a year ago.
Jessy nearly fell over, a look of complete and total shock washed over her face. After a few moments, she was able to regain control over her complete disbelief, and looked at Trowa with indignation. "MY GOD!" She shouted, and finally after shaking off her surprise, shock, and disbelief, the situation became quite hilarious. "You think...think that...I *LOVE* Duo!?" She was almost rolling with laughter, and she finally regained control over herself, and became serious for Trowa.
Trowa was in complete shock, when she started laughing, after she shouted 'MY GOD'. "We had our suspicions." He admitted, and Jessy shook her head.
"Well, I do love him..." Trowa's only visible eye widen, and his mouth was left agape. "But like a brother or a best friend! Not in the sexual way! Hell, I will admit I wasn't certain of my feeling at first, but shit after a year of contemplating, I determined that our bond and friendship were all we had! When I fount him, a sisterly love took over, not a 'OMG, my dear love', kind of love..." She explained, and Trowa raised an eyebrow at her. "I'm not lying!" She snapped, and started to giggle at the thought of the others thinking her and Duo had a 'fling'.
"Well...I..." The taller one couldn't bring himself to say what he want, no needed to say.
"Trowa, I understand...I'm sure I'd make the accusation too, no need to say a damn thing!" She chimed, and this left the other more confused then ever. 'Her emotions are all twisted...One second she's serious and cold, like Heero, but then again she can be emotional, and happy-go-lucky like Duo...Hell she's confusing.' Trowa thought, he didn't realize his confusion, and deep thought look was evident on his face, but apparently it was. "What are you thinking about?" Jessy questioned him, and he snapped out of his wave of thinking.
Just then, Duo decided to clumsily stumble down the stairs, quite loudly also. "Hey! What are you two doing? I don't trust you two together, either you two would concoct some evil plan, or kill one another...Which is it?" Duo asked, as Jessy took his elbow and made him sit down.
"Having a conversation...Till someone woke the whole house coming down..." Trowa commented, getting a playful glare, then a smirk of amusement from Duo, and a shake of the head from Jessy.
"You want anything...Glutton?" Jessy questioned him, and Duo's eyes widened in playful shock, then he glared at her.
"Where do you...."
"Give it up! You know its true! I'm sure Trowa would agree with me." She commented, and Duo narrowed his eyes, turning to look at the dumbstruck Trowa.
"Don't get me involved..." He commented, and stood up.
"Aw. Sorry Trowa, I didn't mean to scare you away...Hey, I told Heero that I'd go destroy that base for you guys..." She told him, getting the tall one's attention, and a raised eyebrow.
"Heero let you take his mission?" Duo asked, in complete utter shock.
"No...One condition...You gotta go with me." She told Trowa, who shook his head, he knew someone would have been assigned to accompany her.
"Alright. We leave at dusk." He told her, and she nodded, knowing it was best to get it over with, and late evening was the best time to do it.
"Hey Tro! I know you wanna know what's been going on these past few days...Sit, and we'll spill!" Duo told him, and Trowa nodded, curiosity and worry getting the better of him.
After about twenty or so minutes of explaining, the two Americans were finished explaining their past few days. Trowa had retreated to the living room, and was watching the news. Jessy couldn't help but tell Duo what the others had thought of the two of them.
"Duo..." She started to laugh, it was still very amusing, and the brunette raised an eyebrow and smirked at his friend's behavior. "You wanna know what the others have been thinking...since they first met...me?" She questioned, stopping her laughter, and trying to recollect herself.
"If its that funny, than hell yeah!" He admitted, and Jessy nodded, she knew Duo's feeling for her were the same as hers, they'd discussed it before.
"Well...Trowa told me...that all of them thought we were...Going together!" She finally busted out, and Duo started to laugh out too. "I think I scared him when I shouted 'My God' at him, it was the funniest thing! He looked totally shocked, it was priceless!'' She admitted, and Duo agreed.
Finally their laughter subsided, and they fount they had an audience, apparently over hearing their whole laughing conversation. "Hey guys!" Duo chimed, in a much better mood than before. He took a long swig of the orange juice in front of him. At the stairs were Quatre and Heero, then in the doorway to the living room was Trowa.
"Hi Duo, Jessy! You two are loud!" Quatre said, teasingly at the two of them. "I fell so embarrassed I ever thought that...But I was so wrong!" His cheeks burning slightly red.
"Aw. Its ok Q-man! It served as a great emotional release, and gave a great laugh!" Duo admitted, making the Arabian's cheeks flare crimson.
"You are not helping at all." Jessy told him, and started to look over the expression on the two stoics' faces. 'Shit, Heero looks pissed! But wait...He looks...hurt and sad!?! Damn, I was right, Heero does *really* have strong emotions for Duo...' Jessy mused to herself, as she observed the look the Japanese was so desperately trying to hide, especially under her stare.
"You should be in bed." Heero commented from the stairs, as he slowly descended. Jessy's as well as Quatre's empath abilities honed in on Heero's concern and hurt, leaving a very confused Arabian, as to why there was such a build up of self hatred, hurt, and longing buried in 01.
"I told him to stay in bed! Even last night, when he came down stairs, but you know what a glutton he is, can't sleep without food but for so long!" Jessy commented, as she turned to the fridge, and as she dug into the fridge she continued. "All of you sit down, and I'll fix breakfast...Then in a few hours, me and Trowa have gotta leave." She told them, as she was pulling out various breakfast foods from the cold compartment.
"You shouldn't have to cook I'll hel....." Quatre's kind and insistent reminder was cut off.
"I do...Plus it gives me something to do." Jessy explained to him, as she dragged him closer and started to whisper to him. "You have no idea what its like, to feel Heero's hatred and know half of it is focused on me! Plus the fact that he, as well as Trowa don't trust me...Though I feel more comfortable now around Trowa, after talking with him..." She explained, and Quatre put his hand on her shoulder, reassuringly. "Duo was my first real friend since my gang days...They were like a family to me, and Duo, is the first person to ever mean anything to me...He's like my brother, Quatre, we know each other's weaknesses, strengths, pasts, *everything*..." She told him, and the Arabian was amazed.
"I had no idea..." He admitted, and started to feel guilty for ever mistrusting her, or thinking she was using Duo.
"Don't feel guilty...I hate pity..."She admitted, and she smiled knowingly at Quatre's confused look. "I'm surprised that by now you haven't figured it out!" She told him, and his confused look grew in intensity.
"What do you mean? Know what?" He questioned, not knowing what she meant.
"I'm a empathic, like yourself, yet your abilities are VERY sensitive...You haven't learned to focus and harness the emotions you pick up..." Quatre was dumbstruck, he'd never met another empathic person. Yet here was the sixth pilot, he'd just met, and didn't realize the almost obvious, and he was an emphatic himself! He felt REALLY stupid.
"I...I have never known anyone else with emphatic abilities...How long have you had yours? And what do you mean, 'harness'? Have you?" He questioned, as Jessy started to concentrate on fixing breakfast.
"Since you're talking with me, you can help after all..." Jessy told him, handing him the loaf of bread. "Get the dishes out too...I don't know where they are at." She admitted, as she started to fry the bacon and eggs. "Oh, and with the abilities...I harnessed mine when I was younger...My life, forced me too...I think I was born with them, and I think I finally learned to control them when I was about nine...Truthfully, I haven't used them since I entered the military base, not wanting too...I started trying to pick up on Duo's emotions when I first fount him, it was tough...He had it under a layer of hatred, sadness, and pain...I was put on sensory overload for awhile..." She admitted, and she returned her attention back to her cooking.
"Did Duo...Hate us?" Quatre timidly questioned, afraid of the answer.
"No...I don't believe so...I think he wanted to, but his true emotion wouldn't let him, he was under so much strain, stress, pressure...I'm surprised it took a year to finally get him to break down...I couldn't have stood it..." She admitted, and she seem the concerned look on Quatre's face. "Don't even ask what happened...I can't tell, I will never tell, unless Duo told me I could...I think it best he tell you guys on his own terms..." Jessy told the blonde, who sighed in defeat, he'd been caught.
- - - -
"Its not poisoned!" Jessy told them, after receiving uncertain looks and a glare from Trowa and Heero. "I PROMISE!" He told them, and sighed. "Duo and Wufei really like my cooking, they trusted me! Tell them Duo! DUO!?" She asked, and the other American just stuck his nose up, and acted as if he were effected by the comment, then his trying to stay serious expression, broke into a trillion pieces as he began to laugh. "ERRR! MEN! Especially *you* three! I think the only descent men are Quatre and Wufei!" Jessy told them, as she huffed.
"Aww! Jessy! I'm sorry! You're food really is awesome, I just couldn't help it! And why ya mad at Tro? He's always suspicious, of everybody!" Duo told her, and she shook her head.
"I don't care...You can eat if you want, I don't care if any of you starve!" Jessy commented to them, as she picked up her half eaten meal, and walked toward the trashcan.
"I thought it was lovely! You must teach me and Duo how to cook, we both are, how would I say, 'need improvement' in the kitchen!" Quatre told her, and Jessy snickered.
"You're saying, Yuy and Barton can cook?" She questioned in surprised. Trowa nodded, and Jessy smiled teasingly. "I can just imagine those two cooking..." She said playfully, and thought of seeing the two silent ones cooking the meals every evening...When she thought of the sight of either two in an apron over the stove was hilarious!
"What's so funny?" Heero asked, almost venomently. 'OUCH!' Jessy thought at the tone. 'I should get used to that.' She knew he was furious, and loathing her at the moment, she *really* needed to make amends with him, and soon!
"Nothing..." She stated, sounding almost flat, as she did so, and started to gather the dirtied dishes. Duo and Quatre were more than a little worried by her sudden change in demeanor, she usually made a quick, tension relieving comment, but not this time. Heero didn't give a damn, his attention was elsewhere, to the braided boy across from him.
He must really hate me...How could I be so stupid!? Its all my fault that he's in pain...That he ended up getting hurt...How could I be so inconsiderate? Duo's the only person who's ever been there for me, yet I pushed him away! STUPID STUPID YUY!' Heero kept repeating in his mind, he thought he could never forgive himself, and he knew Duo never would.
Jessy and Quatre could sense the intense struggle going on inside of Heero, and it was starting to really effect Quatre. "Hey, you ok?" Jessy asked, concerned that the blonde had turned pale. He nodded, and she lead him over to the counter, decided he should know. "Heero over heard us last night...He is loathing in self hatred, as well as the hatred he feels toward me..." She told him, and the Arabian looked totally shocked.
"But...Why does he hate you?" Quatre was brave enough to question, and Jessy gave him unknowing shrug.
"I have no clue really...I think its because he has ALOT of feelings for Duo, he can't express...And when he hurt Duo, he fount me, and Heero doesn't trust me, for one, and another reason is, I think its jealousy..." Jessy admitted, and smirked knowingly at Quatre. "We've really got to do something to get those two together, before you go on overload...Do you have any idea what can happen to an empathic that gets over loaded to the max with emotions? Especially dark ones like hatred?" She questioned him, and Quatre looked interested yet cautious.
"What, happens?" He questioned her, curiosity was brimming his instincts.
"They go into a catatonic state...Have no visible conscious, their just a shell of a body, and the same thing will happen to am emphatic under a ton of stress...You gotta be careful, especially sense your still very sensitive, and in the skills of our profession, it'll get harder and harder for you to stay calm...Unless you harness your senses..." Jessy told him, and Quatre looked shocked, but nodded to show he had listened.
The facts that Jessy laid out for Quatre, seemed vast, and a little unbelievable, but they had the poor Arabian strained. "Trowa..." Jessy called lightly to the tall, quiet pilot of Heavy Arms. "Quatre seems ill, take him upstairs..." Was all she said, and the tall one complied, scooping his little koibito into his arms and carried him upstairs. The rest of her day, she spent avoiding Heero, and doing small things around the safe house to keep her occupied.
Finally it got to much, she had to return to her apartment and get her stuff, the stuff that she needed at least. With a quick word to Duo, telling him where she was off to, and when to expect her back, he warned her. "Be careful, it could be being watched...Make sure ya ain't seen!" He warned, all teasing put aside.
"I know, don't worry...I'll bring just the main things, clothes and electronics, and Naomi." Jessy told him, then had to make a playful comment, one to get Duo back for the night before. "I pwomise daddy!" She said teasingly, and got a playful, boisterous laughter from the braided boy. With a quick wave behind her, Jessy made her exit.
- - - -
She'd been gone from the safe house for nearly an hour, and Duo would be expecting her back within thirty five minutes. With three good sized boxes packed into the back of the small red Chevy, that she had successfully hot wired, and the dog, she was ready to leave. Being careful, Jessy dropped the Chevy off where she had fount it, and headed through the two back yards, that lead to the safe house.
When the door opened, dog in tow behind her, Jessy managed to get in the house, all three boxes stacked up in her arms. "HIYA!" Shrieked Duo, causing Jessy to loose balance, and almost topple over, her and the boxes. Luckily the menacing braided boy, grabbed the boxes, pushing them back into alignment so Jessy could set them down properly.
"Don't EVER do that again, Duo Maxwell!" She finally yelled at him, scolding him for his childishness. He just grinned maliciously, not caring what she said, it was worth scaring her.
"What ever! Hello girl!" Duo chimed, welcoming the dog, that wait patiently by his side. "I'll take to my room..." He explained, those five words, giving more meaning to Jessy than it would take a whole speech. Unluckily, their plan didn't work so well, cause Duo got caught with the dog, and by Heero.
"YOU BROUGHT A DOG!?" He roared, Jessy cringed at the oncoming argument, the house almost shook by Heero's rage, as he rushed down the stairs.
"So what?" She calmly asked, while her heart rate and pulse had sped up drastically, she wouldn't let her nervousness and the fact she was quite frightened, show. Though she knew this simple question, was pushing the Japanese a little to far.
"That *thing* is not staying!" He explained, voice shaking, apparently with rage. 'Damn, I have REALLY made him mad...O well.' Jessy thought, almost amused.
"She's staying! There's no reason she shouldn't, you won't be responsible for her!" She yelled back at him, and noted she heard two pair of rushing footsteps down the stairs, one of which was Duo, the other having to be Trowa.
"That monstrosity is leaving! It could give away our location!" Heero retaliated, as the two other pilots entered the room, ready to break up the fighting if it got physical.
"Naomi, is staying, I don't give a damn, what you say Heero Yuy, you don't have a say this time!" Jessy explained, her voice never rising, as she tried to keep any emotion except determination from her voice.
Duo seen it as his chance, to back up the dog, not to make Heero mad, but he wanted the dog to stay. "She stays..."
"WHAT!?" The Japanese asked in disbelief, and Jessy turned to him too, not expecting him to defend her.
"Heero, the dog won't be anywhere near you! Me and Jessy can take care of it, it'll be out of your way, and she won't cause trouble." Duo explained, making Heero glare for a second, but quickly the glare turned into a frown, and the Japanese hung his head. Quickly walking toward the stairs, he mumbled.
"Whatever." Before he disappeared up the stairs, leaving the three below to stare up at the stairs in disbelief.
"What...What was that all about!?" Duo questioned, his eyes and ears disbelieving what he had just witnessed. Jessy had a good idea, but she wouldn't let Duo know, it was up to him and Heero to figure this out on their own. So she just shrugged, and shook her head lightly, and Duo sighed. "That's not normal..." He stated, and looked for Jessy for answers, she shook her head, refusing to answer him.
"I'm not telling you what you should do! He's your best friend, not mine, he hates my guts!" She countered that pouting look, and Duo glared at her for a second, for the comment. When he sighed and retreated up the stairs, Jessy turned to Trowa. "We should leave." She told him, and he nodded.
- - - -
Jessy had to set the car they were going to use, not far from the large forest that bordered the West side of town, that would be where they left the Gundams till the next day. Once she had set the car in place, she rushed through the woods to where she had stowed away, Demoness for the day. "Its time to shake things up!" She exclaimed to the advanced mecha. Once she climbed into the cockpit, the control panels and visionary screens came to life. "Alright, lets go!" She said, as she maneuvered the gundam to head to the coordinates that she set, representing the base.
When she finally got within a mile, she spotted the other large mecha. Unmistakably, she recognized it as Heavy Arms, and she couldn't wait to see it in action. Trowa seemed to have seen her two, because he changed his direction by a few degrees, to a point where the two would meet. "They just sounded the alarm." He announced, as his face came into view on a screen. Jessy pulled up her camera, and sent the imagery file to Heavy Arms.
"This base, has about fifty mobile suits, when I ran a scan...They've probably loaded up more though, since then." She informed him, and he nodded. "Here they come." She said, with a calm voice, yet she was plainly ready for anything.
Ahead of them, a huge mass of mobile suits flocked in on them, three obvious sectioned off groups. "They've got a divisionary tactic..." Trowa explained, and Jessy huffed at him.
"I can tell...25 Aries, 30 Leos, and...O hell!" She was trying to lay out the format of the groups when she noticed one model of the suits.
"What?" Trowa asked, his soft and calm voice driving Jessy mad.
"The other type of suit...Its a new type, they were processing them at the base I was at...Their called Triyons. From what I gather, they're extremely strong, and have a defense that of a gundam...Their usual ammunition hold, is about 150 missiles, and 300 mech shots..." She laid it out, that was all she could remember. "By the looks of it, each sector has fifty Triyons..."
"Well, this will be more interesting then." Came the reply, and Jessy realized she was over reacting, this would be easy.
"I agree, but what about this division? Apparently they've been expecting us, probably all of us..." She started, then finished her sentence as she remembered it. "They've got to have a large back up unit...Probably the majority are Triyons, their abilities are outstanding and excel that of an Aries or a Leo." Jessy explained again, and Trowa nodded in understanding.
"We'll split, destroy as many of the enemy, head to the main center of the base while I herd the majority away from you...You destroy the base, don't fail." He told her, and to tell the truth, she was quite surprised.
"You must have started to trust me...Heero would never do that, ya know?" She questioned, and Trowa's face grew more serious. "Yes, alright, understood. I won't fail." She told him, leaving her high spirits behind, and switching into 'battle mode'.
"Hn." 'O hell'. She thought. 'He's going Heero on me.' She thought, as she rushed into the middle sector of the division. Within minutes, Heavy Arms had taken down half a division, its rain of ammunition was incredible. Jessy had managed to start slicing mobile suites, with the two blades that unjoined from the arms, and locked into place at the wrists into the hands of Demoness.
The two guns, one on the outside of each leg, mobilized and fired at some of the oncoming mass. Quickly she sped to center above the base, noting that Trowa had managed to create a diversion for her. Without much thought, she fired a rapid fire of missiles at various points of the base. The end result? The base was engulfed by flame and smoke, and Jessy quickly turned back to help Trowa with the remaining troops.
"I didn't fail." She told him, and he smirked at her, then nodded. "How's your ammo?" She questioned, knowing that he was probably low, as the onslaught that he had sent to the troops, had to have used most of his remaining ammunition.
"Low, about 15% remaining." He informed her, and she nodded, she was right.
"Mines at about 55%, together, that should be enough to finish up." She relayed, and a 'hn', was her reply. The two were great working together, Jessy and Demoness had a strength and grace of their own, and their specialty of grace was with two blades. Trowa took a few seconds, every now and again to watch the other Gundam, trying to understand its capabilities.
Soon, all their ammunition was out, and still ten Triyons were left. "These are what were left from the back up units...We'll manage." Trowa told her, and she huffed.
"Yeah, but we're going to get a great deal of damage, they're still full of ammo!" She reminded him, and Trowa mentally scolded himself, that was about 3000 shots, and 1500 missiles, they had their work cut out. "Lets go!" She snapped at him, and rushed into the crowd, immediately starting to swipe her blades at the heads of the gundams, their weakness.
- - - -
"Well, I'm surprised." Jessy said, laughing, Trowa raised an eyebrow. "We didn't get that much damage, I was surprised...I was sure I'd have at least 60% damage! But I made it out with only 41%! How did Heavy Arms come out? He seemed to have less than half." Pilot 03 nodded, yes he did manage to get less than half damage.
"46%." He announced, and Jessy beamed.
"Ha, wait till I tell Duo! I got off with 5% less damage!" Trowa shook his head, he'd never hear the end of this. The rest of the drive was silent, as he kept his mind focused on driving through dark and vacant streets. Finally they arrived at an alleyway, only a few yards from the safe house.
Once they got inside, Jessy noticed the light in the living room was on, and that there was a bowl of dog food and water in the floor. "Naomi?" She called, as she entered the living room, expecting Duo to be in there. "Quatre!" She called, quite surprised the blonde was lying on the couch, looking much better than earlier, and the dog was curled up with him.
"O! You startled me! How'd everything go?" He asked, as Trowa rounded behind Jessy, and sat down beside the Arabian.
"Great! 250 mobile suits down! Base destroyed, and we fount out that Oz seems to be mass producing a new mobile suit." She relayed to him.
"A new suit? What is it?" Quatre questioned, as he moved to sit in Trowa's lap, the taller one blushing.
"Trowa, you don't have to be embarrassed! Don't mind me at all!" She told him, noting the look of apprehension in the taller one. Then once 03 had relaxed, and wrapped his arms around the blonde, she continued. "Well, its called Triyon...Its actually an awesome suit...150 missiles, 300 mech shots, and a defensive armor like one of the gundams..." Jessy informed, the blonde who was deeply inhaling the missed scent of his lover.
"Oh, and you said 250 suits? How'd you manage?" Quatre curiously asked, concerned for the condition of the gundams.
"Oh we managed out great! Trowa received 46% damage, and I got off with 41%." She announced, happily teasing the emerald eyed pilot.
"Hee, I'm sure that was a hit to his pride." Quatre said, as he started to kiss Trowa lightly on the lips.
"I think so too!" Jessy said as she flopped out on *her* couch, across from the love birds. "Where is Duo?" She questioned, quite curious why the braided boy wasn't down here, he must be asleep, it was 2 A.M. after all.
"Uh...In bed." Came the answer, and Jessy raised an eyebrow, the blonde seemed to be flustered, as he dug his face into the crook of Trowa's neck. But Jessy couldn't miss the bright blush that was spread across his face.
'This is gonna be good!' She thought to herself, knowing perfectly well what the blonde was not telling her.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
HEE HEE! How was that? I'm really sorry it took SOOOO long to write this, but I've been REALLY sick lately! Bah, being sick sucks!
*~*~*
What is it the blonde was so flustered about? Will Duo and Heero ever talk? Does Duo have any idea that Heero thinks he hates him? Does either realize they are burning with passion for the other? What about poor Wufei? Will the gang ever rescue the poor Chinese?
*~*~*~*
