Tic Tac?

-Rattle, rattle-

The systematic tapping faltered, and Heero's eye twitched slightly. He made no movement to the source of the noise, and continued typing. He was trained to ignore this sort of thing, just to block it out and get on with his report…

-Rattle, rattle-

The typing faltered, and this time the perfect soldier made visible movement, but didn't turn around. He was used to this type of enemy, showing any signs of weakness would mean instant failure. He would just ignore it and carry on typing…

-Rattle, rattle-

Heero jumped slightly, his body rigid, his fingernails digging into the flesh of his hands. His eyes narrowed on the screen as he re-read the last line he had typed once again. His eyes desperately wanted to look around…

-Rattle, ra-

The rattling stopped dead in its tracks, and stared widely at the angered, twitching face of Heero Yuy. Duo blinked a few times, confused as to what Heero was so upset about. After a few moments his violet-blue eyes lit up, and he offered the transparent package to the other boy.
