Five Pilots and a Girl

By catnips_ph



CHAPTER THIRTEEN



Lizzy heard a pounding in her head. Then she woke up. The pounding came from the door.

"Geez," she murmured sleepily. "What time is it yet?"

"Wake up Lizzy," it was Quatre. "It's noon already. You might want to get up and eat."

Lizzy bolted upright. Quatre!

She grabbed her alarm clock and looked at the time. It was indeed a quarter to noon. She had slept that long. Then she remembered and can't help a blush to creep up her cheeks. Could it be, could it be that she has a crush on the Sandrock pilot? He does fit the bill as the man of his dreams -

"Lizzy," Quatre called again and this time made his knocking louder. "Don't go back to bed again! You need to eat! It's also your schedule to do the dishes today." He does seem to know her bad habits.

"Sure thing Quatre. I'll be down in a jiffy. I'll take a shower first." Then she heard his footsteps going downstairs. She quickly headed for the shower and changed into her mechanic clothes, it was merely a shirt and pants tucked underneath an overall. She intends to check up on Deathscythe today and see if there are any damages or worse, if it was tampered that badly.

Downstairs, Quatre left her to eat alone and said that he had to give Duo his meal. She then wondered if Duo is okay. Or if Quatre and Duo are okay. She made a mental note to pass by his room later that day.

It seems that Quatre was avoiding her, which was good, for Lizzy doesn't know what she should say to him. But sooner or later she knows that she has to face him. And that sooner means before the other pilots arrive. She can't let them know that something had happened between her, Duo and Quatre. They already left thinking that something had happened to her and Heero. What a life!

After cleaning the dishes, which was only few, she headed for the hangar and spent the rest of the afternoon checking up on Deathscythe. All thoughts and emotions of the past momentarily leaving her mind. She was so engrossed with what she was doing that she didn't felt Quatre's presence from above silently watching her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Liking the view so far?" Duo asked from behind Quatre. The latter knew that he was being watched from some time now but he knows he doesn't owe Duo any explanation.

Without turning to look at him, Quatre answered, "You know you shouldn't get up yet. You have internal wounds that needs to be healed up first."

Already, Duo felt that Quatre is distancing himself from him. That girl. She is the cause of this. Not only that, he doesn't even know what happened to her and Heero. He hates it when he doesn't know the answer. "So, when did that happened?" He just couldn't believe that he had let Quatre fall in love with the girl right under his nose. He was pretty much closer to her than anyone but she had managed to penetrate into Quatre's heart in just a few months, which took him over a year trying to do so! Quatre just remained silent. "Did you like the way she tastes?"

Quatre saw red and punch Duo on his jaw. It sent the latter to tumble down. "I don't know what you're problem is Duo but I sure would like it if you would leave me and Lizzy alone." With that, he went away. But Duo was quick to revive and grabbed Quatre by his arm. With his face so close to Quatre, he said, "Then let's see who wins her first." Seeing the shocked expression on Quatre's face, he said, "Let's seal that agreement with a kiss, shall we?" Then he bends down and gently, much to the surprise of Quatre, kissed him full on the mouth. It shocked and excited Quatre at the same time. It was his first time to be kissed by a man. And he was saving it for Trowa. Trowa! By Allah, what is he doing? First he was thinking of Trowa, then up until now he can't understand just how he got feelings for Lizzy. It confused him to no end and had little sleep last night just thinking about his feelings for Trowa and Lizzy. And now Duo - So before he actually got lost with Duo's kiss, he pushed him and punched him the second time that day.

Duo had a small smile planted on his lips as he saw Quatre left him. For a moment there, he knew that Quatre responded to his kissing. But the shinigami has a plan on the back of his mind. A plan that involves all five gundam pilots and a girl.

Duo then head back to his room. He wasn't feeling too well so he decided to take some pain relievers. Quatre definitely can kick some ass when he wanted to. He suddenly felt a bit dizzy and lie on his bed.

Author's Notes:

O_o. Well, you know just how wicked Duo's plans can be right? Yes I know this is quite short but hey, at least it's something. I have a feeling that this story is going to be a saga. Okay, how about just a novel type? ^_^ Comments please! You can also e-mail me at catnips_ph@yahoo.com.
