It was another ordinary day with our favorite gundam pilots while they were taking time off to relax and --
"KISAMA MAXWELL! You have no HONOR! K'so! Nataku does NOT LOOK 'GREAT' in green and hot PINK paint! BAKA! Get away from Nataku! You have disgraced her presence! Out out OOOUUTTT!!! Before I take my katana and RAM it through your body!"
Yeah, another fabulous day with the gundam pilots. Duo began running from the scene of the disaster in a hurry as buckets of paint were thrown at random in his direction.
"Another day accomplished painted Nataku with a lovely portrait of the Mona Lisa! Green and pink style! Wooo hooooo! Yo, Heero, silent dude! Chottooo maaattttte!"
Heero raised an eyebrow as he sat down to type up a quick summery report by a swimming pool on a small estate of the Winner family. This wasn't easy ever since Heero found himself liking Duo little by little up until now. It was getting to the point where he almost couldn't control himself at moments with Duo. All he could say up to now were sentences that had five words or less to Duo.
Duo plopped on a chair by him with a goofy grin. "I did it! Shinigami strikes again! Oh, yeah, baby! Now, Heero, if you're listening which I'm quite sure that you aren't now, imagine a green and hot pink Altron gundam battling Libros and other mobile suits. That oughta give Oz something to think about, yeah?"
"Hn."
"Yeah, I know, you probably expected that from me, but I couldn't help it. I'm not hungry, or at least not NOW so I decided, aw, hell, I gotta DO something so I got me some paint and a bigass spray thing. Then, I woke up reeaaaaal early, I mean, hell, earlier than you, did my little thing and dropped a big box of red little bows on the gundam that Quatre let me borrow since he didn't need them any more."
"Hn."
"It was great! You should've seen it! I mean, it was a masterpiece! And, on top of that, I managed to draw Mona Lisa on the gundam, wooo! Wu-chan must be really pissed off! I swear! He always acts like he has a wrench stuck up his ass or something. He needs to calm down, man, he needs to chill. What's up with all those books he reads? I mean, yeah, reading is all great, but sometimes ya just gotta go out to do something, ya know?!!"
"Uh, hn."
"You're most likely to disagree with me on this. C'mon! You too, don't take it personally or anything, but you're Mr. Mission Dude and I don't know how manage to live this long without cracking or anything. Another thing, there should be a holiday where everybody just stops working, fighting, anything, and just say, screw this for today, I'm going to enjoy myself and have a life! If there's people like Wu-chan out there, man, we've really gotta do something."
"Uh."
"Totally, yeah! There's amusement parks, movies, theaters where girlfriends would scream in terror while watching a freaky movie with their boyfriend, ya know, that's fun to watch. I've gone to theaters and seen all these awesome movies with blood and guts all over, those wimpy girls with their boyfriends whine about the violence. Gimmie a break here, chicks who can stand that are soo cool, but those girls who can't stand violence are so wimpy that it's not even funny!"
"Hn."
"That brings up another thing, ya know Hilde, right?"
"Uh."
"I'll take that as a yes, well, anyway, she's real cool. Oh, and Noin and that Sally chick. They're pretty cool. They've seen just as much blood as us and know we're the good guys. It's great to know that, ya know, since they're pretty good fighters and all. I'm glad I managed to straighten Hilde out, Oz was screwing with her goodness, ya know? She enrolled to help her colony, but they lied, big time!"
"Hn."
"Man, that bites though. Finding out that you got lied to about something you thought was great and it's just gone. It's a thing I personally hate. It's like having a great family all around you your whole life, and then, you find out that you're adopted and you don't belong. That sucks. It's too bad though, this war is making many kids orphans and street kids. That's a tough life."
"Hnn."
"Oh, yeah, back to amusement parks and stuff, you ever had cotton candy? No? It's great! All sugary and they come in big wades of colored things on sticks. It melts in your mouth, it's great. Oh, yeah, and the games at the amusement parks. That's the LIFE! You've gotta go to one, one day. Hell, I'll drag you to one for the sheer hell of it! Don't worry, I know what I'll do there. You could leave things to me!"
"Hn.."
"You sound worried there, pal. No sweat! Remember all those times I saved your ass from Oz? Oh, yeah, you saved me too from Oz also, but you know, it's kinda that friendship thing. Oh, yeah, I forgot, you're anti-social. I'll clear that up for ya! Next school we go into, I'll have the ladies gawking over you! Well, ya know, if there's some left over after me."
"Uh."
"You sound like you don't care! Aw, c'mon! It's fun! Sure, we can't be friends with some people, but it's loads of fun. Take advantage of the moment! Hell, take one out to a movie! Just in case you don't know what I'm talking about, I mean, taking a chick out to a date. They'd go wild! I know they would for me. It's too bad though, you don't say much and your vocabulary only goes as far as 'hn, uh, hnn' I see."
"Hn."
"I guess that can be interpretated as a lot of things. A regular 'hn' can be like, yeah, yup, right, gotcha. An 'uh' would mean like, sort of, maybe, could be, on the contrary, things like that. A 'hnn' would mean that you're actually absorbing what I'm saying right now and actually thinking about it too, but then again, it could always be the longer version of 'hn' I'm guessing."
"Hn, uh."
"Yeah, I was right. Don't you ever talk to anyone? I mean, I guess you're sorta talking to me, in way, sorta, maybe, ok, maybe NO, no you're not talking to me. I'm talking to you, but I could always talk FOR you, but then it wouldn't be a conversation, now would it? Those hnn's and uhh's come out a little differently sometimes so probably you were talking to me. Just in a very interesting manner."
"Hn."
"By the way, ever had a girlfriend? Had a couple, they're all right, but they were kinda wimpy, ya know. Trust me, I have experience. No, not that kind of experience if you're thinking like that. Then again, you're the Perfect Soldier so probably, you don't know much about what I'm trying to get across to you because you don't even bother to acknowledge info like that doncha know."
"Uh."
"Hey, that's an idea! Next school we get into, I'll call that Relena lady up for ya and I'll get you guys all hooked up! It'll be great! Imagine this, I get you guys to a fancy shmancy restaurant and hopefully you'll say SOMETHING to that girl and Quatre will play that violin thing of his to help, eh, you know, create the 'mood'? Ok, then, Wu-chan could be the cook and provide chopping demonstrations because you know Wu-chan, he always has the urge to chop things up, or is that just me? Anyway, Trowa could be like the waiter and I'll be the dude in the corner and help you out on the date! That's great isn't it?"
"Hn!"
"Whoa there boy. That was a pretty strong 'hn!' you got there! You telling me you don't really like her? Aw, c'mon! She's practically the Queen of the Damn World and has money up the corner dude! I think she's all right, provided that she doesn't get all over arrogant with herself and she does have a tendency to kinda stalk us at the schools we're at, but then, that's why it'll be great if I get you guys set up!"
"Uhhh."
"Damn! That was a terrible, Heero! It can't be that bad, can it? Well, considering the fact that you gave a 'Hn!' in your last response, I guess it is. Do you really don't like her?"
Glare.
"Okokok! Chill! Don't get all personal or anything! I can take a hint! Geeeeeez, I thought you liked the blondie, I guess I was wrong. Ah, oh well, I'm guessing everone is entitled to be wrong, one way or another. Right, Heero? Riggggght! Anyway, I was thinking, you wanna do something after you do your typing thing with the laptop? See a movie? Bug Wu-chan? Talk to Tro dude and Quatre? Get something to eat? Maaaaan, my stomach's growling!"
"Hn."
"It looks like you're back to normal now! Not to mention that I'm starving! My stomach could pass for a psycho dog growling. Talking takes a lot outta me, Heero. How about you kinda stop doing your typing thing and I drag you to the nearest place to eat, eh? Or, better yet, you stop typing altogether for the rest of the day and we get the others to join us to eat, yyeeeeaaahh?"
"Un."
"'Un??!!' What's that?! That's a cross between 'hn' and 'uh'. Heero, now you're really beginning to creep me out. Then again, if you look at it in a more optimistic level, that also means that you're making the attempt to TALK to me and also, you're slowly progressing to be less anti-social! Isn't that great? Of course it's great! I think this could pass as a national holiday!"
"Hnn."
"Ok, be grumpy and kill the mood. Are you finished yet? My stomach is killing me. It's not exactly the best feeling, Yuy. You feel like something's eating ya from the inside and you get all weak and feel like a veggie. I'm feeling like a broccoli now. I wonder how women even have kids! They must eat a lot I bet, considering the fact that they have to eat for themselves and the kid inside them. Or worse yet, TWINS! Or triplets or quatriplets! Is quatriplets a word? Now it is! Eheheh."
"Uh."
"I don't see why you have to type that up. The weather looks nice, birds are chirping, sun's up and eh, did ya see Quatre and Trowa? No? Didn't you know that they're a couple? NO?! Heero, dude, you've REALLY got take a good look around your surroundings! I cannot believe you didn't know that! Yo, you're ruining your perfect soldier image, Heero. Anyway, they're a couple and feeding each other over there on the other side of pool if you haven't noticed."
"Hn."
"Don't they look real kawaii? I mean, Quatre's good to Trowa and Trowa is like a defense shield to Quatre. They really balance each other out if you hadn't noticed. Noooo??!!???? Ah, well, then again, you don't care about that. After all, you are the Perfect Soldier and when you're the Perfect Soldier, you're not supposed to have emotions or else that conflicts with what you do and everything."
"Un."
"Touchy touchy! Sometimes I think you're worse than Wufei. I mean, hell, he'll at least respond to me. Unlike you, he'll actually say something ELSE unlike 'Mission accepted' or 'Mission completed' or something like that. If I hadn't bugged him so much today, he might've actually popped in the kitchen with Quatre, Trowa and me and join us for breakfast and he'll actually exchange WORDS with us. Why don't you ever do that?"
"Hn."
"Oh, yeah, I keep forgetting you're ANTI-SOCIAL! Gargh!" Duo looked over Heero's shoulder for a brief second. "Don't you get tired of me talking? Or are you that good at ignoring people? I suppose so 'cuz you've killed a lot of people and so have I, but that doesn't stop me from running my mouth off. It's good to do that sometimes because you're so too yourself that you NEED to talk to someone or something, depending. Doesn't that ever happen to you Heero?"
"Not really. Hn."
"WOW! An answer! A real humane ANSWER! Whooooaaaaaaa! I think you've been hanging around me too long, ne? Then again, I think it was bound to happen, I just never thought it would be this fast and THIS soon! Ok! I've got you going on about THREE words per sentence, let's aim for FIVE!"
"Don't push your luck, Duo."
"Lemme count.... don't push your... three... luck Duo... FIVE! Ok, forget national holiday. International holiday! Should be recognized by everybody in the world as a day to celebrate Heero actually opening his MOUTH to talk! Five words! I'm so blessed! Ok, now why me?"
"Humph."
"Damn it, you killed the mood again. I suppose I'm the most talkative one out of the five of us gundam pilots so I managed to get you going. Now, if you continue your talking thing, you might even surpass Wu-chan in conversational skills! Now now now, don't say don't push your luck Duo again. How about an all out rant about what's on your mind?" Duo jumped up from his seat and posed by the swimming pool.
Death Glare at 10% intensity.
Duo went into a more thoughtful pose and started shaking his head in doubt.
"Nope, nope, nahhhh....... I don't even know WHY I'm even DOING THIS! This is--"
Duo was interrupted by a familiar, yet, clear voice.
"For now, I'm Heero Yuy, my name is derived from the Heero Yuy of the colonies that was assinated several years back and I pilot the gundam Wing Zero. I was sent to Earth to destroy Oz, but they have split themselves up and my enemies are the people who want to destroy me now. I don't think I have any allies, but I just happen to have several comrades who have the same mission as me. I was trained under the eye of Dr. J and I don't remember much before I became this way. I have this image of a little girl and her dog dying, can you figure that out for me? I can't. I fight this war because I'm capable of fighting and anyone who can fight, should fight. I'm a soldier and this is my job, regardless of age, race or anything as like that."
"Are soldiers like normal people? Are we normal people? I keep thinking about this. What about this strange thing called love? What is it like? Am I normal? Is it bad to be abnormal? Am I abnormal? Are you normal or abnormal, Duo? What about the others? I mean Wufei, Trowa and Quatre. What about them? I don't even know if I'm doing this war anymore. Emotions? I've heard of them, I think I used to possess emotions. They're mostly all right, I think. But I can't have any regard for anybody I kill because if I do, I will never be able to complete my missions."
"No one is to find out about the gundams and their main purpose unless it's with people who share the same views as my missions. I've been trained to do every militaristic action known to man and I can't regret to do any, even though I've made that mistake before. I've never done this before, I don't think I have done this in my life. Maybe if I just talk and let everything out, things will turn out better. You tell me all the time that I'm anti-social. I have to be anti-social for my own good. Talking too much might result in giving information to people you don't know about our missions and that's a danger. A big one. That's mainly the reason why I bother to even listen to you in the first place. It's so that I don't let you leak out any information and that I can reprimand your mistake."
"You surprise me, Duo. You talk about things I'm not quite sure of. I'm sure it's not about missions, is that why so many people want to talk to you when we're enrolled in schools? You act so carefree, yet, you're happy, but you make me wonder sometimes, Duo. Why do you do this? I don't see Quatre, Trowa or Wufei talking all the time. How come? Or is it that they're too busy? Am I that cold? Well, I have to be cold to people regardless, it's because of the mission. But we're not on a mission, so it's all right to talk now? If I do, what do I talk about? I'm not sure about that either, but then, would that be good or bad? Zero can't exactly give me a definate answer, how about you?"
While Heero was talking, Quatre and Trowa sat across the pool, gaping at the person they thought was Heero Yuy, food was forgotton and all attention was shifted to just HIM. Duo froze by the pool and his eyes grew into big saucers. He tried to point at Heero and say something, but nothing came out.
"..!!...*choke, cough*...Akck!...*cough*..!!" was all Duo could do, plus staring with his mouth open.
Quatre and Trowa exchanged looks and ran off to find Wufei in the hanger where the gundams were. Heero gave a bewildered look at everybody and shrugged nonchalently.
"They act as if they've never heard me talk before..." and went back to typing nonchalently.
Duo finally got control back to his vocal cords and gawked over him.
"You! Heero! Talked! History... making... universal history...!!! HOLY SHIT!" Duo ran over to Heero and shook him. "You talked! Actually spoke! SUGOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!" Duo exclaimed out loud.
A scrabble was heard in the distance and Trowa and Quatre were dragging Wufei with them towards the pool. Quatre held his left arm and Trowa his right arm while Wufei cursed out loud.
"Kisama! What does a guy have to do to get some peace?! Quatre, Trowa, out of all people! I thought you had SOME freaking respect for me, but up until now it was FINE. Then you PEOPLE had the NERVE to disturb ME while I'm repairing NATAKU!"
Trowa blinked back a smile. "You were repainting Nataku, not repairing Nataku," he corrected him.
"And removing little red bows that somehow got stuck on your mobile suit," Quatre chimed in with a grin and continued to drag Wufei to the pool.
"Oh, shut up before I wipe that smirk and smile off your faces! That isn't funny at all! And I suppose YOU wouldn't MIND if your MECHA SUIT got bombed with hot pink and green paint with red bows stuck on it!??" roared Wufei.
Trowa thought about it. "Actually," he blandly stated. "It would be a good way to throw off Oz to think that we have some new type of mobile suit..."
Wufei smacked himself and began to murmur a string of curses under his breath while being dragged off by the lively couple.
"Oiiiiii!!!! WUFEI! HEERO TALKED! HE TALKED A WHOLE CONVERSATION! YOU SHOULD'VE HEARD IT!!" Duo latched himself on Wufei's arm when Quatre and Trowa let go of him.
"GET OFF ME MAXWELL! Masaka! GERROFF!" Wufei promptly glared at Duo when he finally let go of his arm.
"Well it's true!" Duo pouted and made a face at him.
Wufei crossed his arms and looked away. "There is no way Yuy could have talked, besides, I have work to do and NOW if you'll excuse ME....!" he took one step before a certain voice stopped him.
"Wufei, I did talk. Oh, and I hope you can get the decorations off Nataku. It's a little disturbing."
Wufei turned around and looked at Heero, then he looked at everyone suspiously.
"Is this some kind of sick trick? Trying to make me fall for another one of your pranks, Maxwell?!!" he glared at Maxwell who turn, stuck his tongue out at him. "What did you do this time?!!" he demanded. "Get a recording of the few times Heero has actually said something and played around with his voice?!!" he huffed.
Quatre raised an eyebrow. "Wufei-kun, he did talk. I was here."
Wufei snorted. "Did Maxwell play with your mind as well?? I never thought of you the type to fall for Maxwell's childish pranks. It looks like he got you as well."
Trowa looked a little disturbed. He decided to break his silence to prove it. "Wufei, Heero talked. He really talked."
Wufei loooked a little irritated. "And your relationship with Quatre has made you a little too soft, Trowa. Did Quatre talk you into this?"
Quatre and Trowa exchanged looks with Heero and Duo. Trowa looked at the pool beside them and looked back at the others.
"WuFEI," Duo started and approached him with a saunter while Trowa and Quatre slowly followed his lead. "We believe that Heero actually talked. You heard him, just didn't believe it. You have one more chance to redeem yourself. C'mon Wufei, go ahead and say something to him!"
He glared at everyone and crossed his arms. "NO! And furthermore, I'm leaving!" He took a step and was pushed by three hands into the pool, head first of course.
Heero peered over his laptop and stood up. Wufei was sputtering and cursing in Chinese, Japanese and English with articulate accuracy.
Quatre and Trowa grinned and flounced off to the safe house to do some serious quiet time. Duo laughed as Wufei continued to curse out loud while he swam to the side of the pool and dragged his wet body out of the pool. After glaring at Heero and Duo for a couple of tense seconds, he stormed off in a rage.
"God!" Duo laughed. "Wufei is so uptight. He's worse than dynamite. He blows up way too much and needs to CHILL!" he threw up his arms and placed them at his hips and faced Heero. "So, whatcha think, eh, Heero?" he smirked.
Heero was... smiling for once. It almost scared the hell out of Duo.
'Christ! Heero looks... hot when he smiles!' he blinked in surprise and returned the smile back to Heero.
Heero walked up to Duo and stood there. He reached out a hand to Duo's cheek questioningly, but Duo understood immediately. He grasped his hand gently with his both hands and let his head fall on Heero's hand.
"Duo... I-I think... I think... I... like... you," came out of Heero's mouth, in small stumbled bursts and confused.
Duo smiled and reached out to Heero. "I like you too, Heero. You," he paused to look at Heero. "You wanna get something to eat?" he asked cautiously, peering into cobalt eyes.
"Hai," Heero smiled again and clasped Duo's hand, gently walking him to the safe house and leaving the laptop.
They walked together in silence, knowing very well what up and coming troubles would arrive with them. But the silence was blissful and so were the new couple. Nothing could stop them. This bond created love and everyone knows love is inpredictable. That's what makes life interesting.
