"Change" Chapter 21
Heero curled into a ball on the cold damp floor. The days events had finally all sunk in
completely, and the result was emotional onslaught. No tears ran down his face for he had
cried all of them long ago. He almost wanted for tears, but none came. Instead, silent
choked sobs whispered as they echoed off the dank and dark walls. He just lay like that for
quite some time.
Upstairs, Duo stared deep into Quatre's worried eyes searching for what ailed him. Quatre
tried to look like everything was fine, but he really wanted to run down the hall after
Trowa. Suddenly, the door opened to reveal Wufei. He was now wearing fresh cloths that
were untouched by battle.
"Umm... Quatre... do you need a rest."
"Huh... Oh... yes, please."
Duo gave an irritated look. He was tired of being treated like a child that needed to be
babysat.
Quatre hurried out of the room, but not before pointing out that if Duo had something to say
he could use the brainwave helmet. Duo just shook his head.
As Quatre approached his and Trowa's room he heard a haunting flute music that carried a
wave of pain through the air. He arrived at the door and knocked. All went silent.
"Come on, Trowa. I know you're in there. What did he say?"
#What did *who* say?#
#Wufei and his talk must have not turned out as well as I had hoped.#
"Come on talk to me... please."
Duo stared angrily at Wufei who tried to not look at him. After a few minutes, Wufei
finally gave in.
"What?!!!"
Duo grabbed a nearby notepad, swiftly scribbled on it, and handed it to Wufei. Wufei
looked down at it.
_I am not a child! I do not need a babysitter!_
Wufei looked up at Duo.
"So far, your behavior has proven otherwise."
Duo balled up his fist and prepared to punch.
Wufei dodged the punch and grabbed Duo's wrist.
"Behave, or I'll tie you down. We can fight when you are well."
Duo frowned and jerked his fist away.
"Are you hungry?"
Duo shook his head ‘no'.
"Than lay down, and get some rest."
Duo complied only to get some peace. Before long he slipped away into a restless slumber.
Quatre continued to talk to the door when he felt pain to rival Trowa's coming from
somewhere in the lower part of the house. He briefly pondered what to do before heading
down the stairs figuring he would catch Trowa when he was in a better mood.
Quatre arrived at the basement door and knocked. Not to his surprise, he received no
answer.
#No answer means I won't be disturbing *anyone*. (sarcastically)#
So, he smiled and opened the door.
Quatre looked in to see Heero huddled in the corner in a ball on the floor.
"Heero?" (softly)

Duo: "Gee Heero, what are we going to do tonight?"
Heero: "Same thing we do every night, Duo... hehe."
