Adult and Yaoi jokes ahead. If you don't dig that, don't read on. I own none of this. Please don't sue. I am a poor starving comic book artist. You guys are like crack addicts. Duo: "No, I'm the crack addict." *grins* plude: "Pervert." Duo: "That's ‘hentai' to you!" plude: "Hentai." Duo: "Tomboy." plude: "You wanna make something of it." *Duo smiles widely.* plude: "Hey, I'm not that kind of girl!" Sorry about the delay. Duo got into my leftover Halloween candy and you can guess how long it took to calm him down. Ok, on with the next segment before you guys explode and I have to clean up the mess. "Change" Chapter 7 *blink, blink... blink, blink..." Just as Heero was about to break the silence, a nurse entered the room. "Oh my, what are you boys doing out of bed?! You need your rest." "Umm......." Heero pointed to Duo who was still lying on the floor holding his ribs, with one hand still cuffed to the bed. The nurse walked over and gently picked him up, laid him back in bed, and recuffed him. Duo was in too much pain to put up any fight. "I can see that this one will need a chaperone. Now, get back to bed, young man." Heero laid down on a cot where he could clearly see Duo. He would have normally gone to his room, but he was quite worried. So, he feigned being in to much pain to make it up the stairs. The nurse took out a needle to give Duo a shot for the pain, but he shook his head ‘no.' She then left the room in pursuit of a proper chaperone. Duo just laid there in agony and stared up at the blinding ceiling. Heero pondered over what to say until the silence was breeched when Quatre walked in. Quatre shook his head. "You guys don't know the meaning of the word ‘rest'." "He picked his cuffs." "Duo, are you feeling ok?" Duo's mouth formed a tight straight line. He gave Quatre an ‘omae o korosu' look. "Duo, if you want, I'll hook up a brain wave transmitter. You'll be able to talk through written sentences on that monitor." Duo pondered this for a moment before the pain finally got to him and he passed out. Quatre got the nurse. He was concerned that he might have internal bleeding from this latest stunt of trying a kick with broken ribs. The nurse asked Quatre to wait outside while they ran some tests. Heero became quite angry as she pulled a curtain across the room, blocking him off. He just lay there and quietly listened in. Here is what he heard: Nurse: "He appears to have reopened his previous wounds." Doctor: "Get me an x-ray stat." Nurse: "He's lost a lot of blood, but there appears to be no internal bleeding. He should be fine as long as his listens and stays in bed. Let's let him get some rest." The nurse and doctor left the room. Heero waited a while, and then silently got up and opened the curtain to see Trowa. #Damn.# Heero thought. Trowa looked up at him in almost suprise. "Feeling well enough to return to your room?" "Um... yes." #Damn. Damn! DAMN!!!# Heero thought as he exited the room and went up the stairs. Until next time, plude
