Chapter 21
When I woke up again I was able to talk. I stood up ripping the stupid IV's and monitors off and out of my body. Hadn't ever used 'em before, why start now. I wanted to go see Quatre. The blond, although strong was not as good at reviving from the pain as me. He had only been over the due time once and only for a day but he had needed to take the next two days off. I got up intent to explore the place myself. Unfortunately, the first door I opened happened to lead to the one Heero was in, so much for exploring.
"Where's Q?" I asked him. He stared at me for a second and then realization came into his eyes.
"Oh, you want to check on Quatre?" He asked me. I nodded slowly and then I had my own epiphany. I had called Quatre, Q.
"Yes!" I shouted a little more loudly than I had meant to, normally I wouldn't have cared but the big house seemed to make loudness seem rude.
"You really should be in bed." He said with a slight smile. I glared at him.
"Don't play games with me Yuy, I wanna see Quatre." I sighed, overdoing it a bit. "Then I'll go back to sleeping like I was some stupid toddler who needs a nap. OK? Now take me to Quatre!" His mouth quirked into a small grin.
"I guess since you act like a toddler you should take naps like a toddler." He said with a grin. I glared at him again.
"Hmph." I turned my back to him crossing my arms over my chest not realizing how childish I looked. I turned back around again when he broke out in laughter. I glared at him.
"Alright, alright. I'll take you to Quatre." With that he stood up and led me to Quatre's room.
Quatre looked to be doing much better than I had thought he would, he was up and his aquamarine eyes were shining with curiosity. I reached out to him and noticed that my hands were bandaged. I stared at them for a second. Oh yeah, the glass. I shrugged.
"So how ya doin', Q?" I asked him happily. He smiled at me.
"I'm fine." He said, his voice a little hoarse. I nodded.
"So," I said grinning a grin that ought to split my face. "How's it feel to be free?" He smiled right back.
"Great!" He said with a content smile, and I noticed his eyes starting to droop.
"You should probably go back to your room and sleep, Duo." I was startled by Heero's voice. He had been so quiet I had almost forgotten he was here.
"Alright, alright." I said pulling a pouting face. I let Heero lead me back to my room again.
