Duo sighed, then smiled. He sighed again, then went back to smiling. Quatre finally looked up from his stack of paperwork. He had offered to fill out mission reports for the other pilots, and thus had been left home this time around. He smiled in Duo's direction and rolled his eyes.
"Fine, Du-chan, fine...tell me what you're so happy about."
Duo immediately started chatting about Wufei, and Quatre's smile brightened. Duo talked animatedly for some time. Quatre was very happy for the braided bishounen; it was about time those two had gotten together!
They chatted for some time, until the door in the other room opened and the other three pilots came walking in. Duo was almost squirming with his excitement to be in Wufei's presence again. Quatre just smiled and shook his head, then went out to greet them. Heero completely ignored him and just stormed right past him. Quatre frowned slightly. "Is something wrong with him?"
Wufei shrugged. "How should I know? He's as expressive as a rock."
Quatre sighed. "It just must have been a rough mission, that's all." The other two nodded, then Wufei headed off towards Duo's room, where his name was being called.

Fifteen minutes later, they were all, minus Heero, gathered for dinner. It was nothing spectacular, just sandwiches, but it would do. No one felt like cooking at the moment. Heero had come out, grabbed a sandwich and returned to his room without a word...which really wasn't much different than any other day, to be truthful.
After dinner, through which Duo talked the whole time between bites, they crashed in the living room and sat there, talking about whatever came to mind. They had finally gotten cozy when there was a beeping from the computer over by the wall. Quatre drug himself over to it and read their new email.
He sighed. "Hey...we have a three-person mission..."
Wufei scowled. "K'so...why don't they get someone else to do these things?" he grumbled as he lifted Duo up and carried him to bed. Duo was giggling. "What's so funny?"
"No one else has Gundams, Fei-chan!" he chirped, still giggling. Wufei rolled his eyes.
"Baka." He said affectionately, lying Duo on his bed and giving him a kiss. "Now you behave...I guess me, Quatre, and Trowa are going, because we really don't want to have to bug Heero...think you'll be alright with him?"
Duo laughed. "Of course I will! What's he gonna do, glare at me? Honestly, Fei!"
Wufei smiled. "Yeah, yeah, g'night...if it's not too late when I get back, I'll come in and see you, alright?"
"Hai, you'd better! Have fun, Fei!" Duo chirped, turning his radio on. Wufei smiled softly, wishing Duo could see it.
"Hai, you too. Wo ai ni!" he said as he headed out the door, then left with Quatre and Trowa.
