When Duo awoke his chest no longer hurt, but he was very cold. He turned his head and spied a fireplace. Rolling over and off his bed, he crawled to the fireplace and curled up, reveling in the comfy and warm space. Just when he drifted off to sleep again, he was awoken by a slight push on his shoulder.
"Duo," Quatre began, a little worried, "what are you doing?"
Duo grunted and curled up tighter. "Sleeping in the fireplace," he responded sleepily, quickly drifting off again.
Calmly, Quatre went away and came back with Trowa and Heero. Taking it all in stride, the two gently lifted the sleeping Duo out of his nest and swiftly tucked him away in his first bed. Quatre followed wearily behind them.
Looking over the top of his novel - where he had witnessed the entire ordeal - Wufei voiced his opinion again, without a hint of sarcasm, "Would child proof cabinets be too much of a stretch, or are you three going to ignore me again?"
When Quatre, Heero and Trowa looked at him, he shrugged. "At least the next time he wakes up, he'll only accuse us of trying to poison him with cauliflower again."
Quatre sadly shook his head and went to go look up just what exactly was in Duo's cough syrup.
Inspired by my friend who really thought a cabinet was a fireplace and crawled in to sleep and thought his mom was poisoning him with cauliflower and the cough syrup that made me hit the wall because my arm was too floppy to throw the grenade. Yeah...
