Ok, someone's going to smack me after this next part.

When Trowa and Quatre arrived at the docking bay, Trowa stepped out of Heavyarms and 
immediately headed for his room.  Quatre watched as he calmly walked out, crossed the hall, 
stepped over Heero, and made his way up the stairs.

#Stepped over Heero?  What's Heero doing passed out across the bottom of the stairs?#

Quatre walked over to Heero and checked for a pulse.  Upon discovering that Heero was once 
again passed out in a drunken stupor, Quatre picked him up and carried him to his room while 
almost snickering. 



Wufei paced back in forth in the hall as the medics checked out Duo.  
Finally, a doctor walked out.  Wufei stared at him, questioningly.

"He didn't follow my orders last time, but this time it is imperative.  His ribs are even 
worse now.  He needs to stay still and in bed."

"We... we had an important mission.  There was no choice. ...W- what else is wrong?"

"I'm afraid Master Winner has asked me to keep his medical records confidential.  Don't 
worry, he should be physically fine in a few weeks."

"Physically?"

The doctor went back in the room.

"C-Can I see him?!"


The doctor opened the door and let Wufei in.



Quatre arrived at Heero and Duo's room and opened the door two see Heero's bed was a 
disaster.  Quatre laid Heero down on Duo's bed and started to remake Heero's.

Heero tossed and turned in his drunken slumber.

"D-duo?"

"It's me... Quatre."

"Duo. ...Duo's hurrrrr..."

Heero passed back out.

Quatre ran down the stairs to check on Duo.  He assumed that Wufei had probably taken him to 
the infirmary.

When Quatre arrived, he saw Wufei keeping vigil over Duo.

"Is he alright?"

"He'll be ok.  You and I need to have a talk."

"I agree.  There is something I definitely need to speak to you about, but you can go 
first."

"Very well.  What's *really* wrong with Duo?"

Quatre frowned.  "I don't know all of it, but I can't share what I know of Duo's personal 
medical records.  If he wants, you to know, he will tell you." 

Wufei glared at Quatre.

"Please understand.  You wouldn't want Duo to breech *your* privacy without you knowing 
about it."

Wufei nodded his agreement.

"What did you want to talk to me about?"

"...Sometimes... sometimes people can feel more than friendship for their comrades, and it 
can be very hard to tell them..."


"Oh... I think I know what you are talking about.  Don't worry about it."

"Thanks, Wufei, I knew you would understand."
#He was probably planning to talk to Trowa about it anyway.#

#Quatre.... has a crush on... me?  What the hell?!  Trowa would go ballistic!#

"I'll just go so you can think about it."

Quatre left.

#Shimatta!#

Duo: "Can I smack someone?  I swear, I lose my voice and all hell breaks loose.   What would 
these guys do without me?"
Heero: "Get some nice quiet time for once."
Duo sticks his tongue out at Heero. 
Plude: "Children!  Don't make me stop this gundam!"
Duo: "(whiny tone) I have to go to the bath room.  Heero hit me again."
Heero: "He took my sucker."
