"Mood Rings" Chapter 1 by plude "Oi Heero, long time no see!" "Hn..." "You get back from a two month mission, and all you can say is ‘hn..'. No ‘I missed you Duo' or ‘How have you been? I've been fine', just ‘hn...'." Duo grins. "Cool shades, but I thought the *perfect soldier* never had to hide his eyes from the sun's cruel rays. Besides, it's night time. Remember what you told me about shades at night hampering your vision and ‘looking cool' being a lame excuse?" "Hn..." It had been like that for the last forty-eight hours and was finally starting to get to Duo. Heero hadn't taken his shades off before or since. Duo was starting to formulate a theory that he even bathed in the stupid things. Duo's curiosity was quickly getting the best of him. He began to wonder if Heero wasn't hiding tattooed eyeliner or something. By the second night in the safe house Duo had already formulated a plan to remove the shades. He would just sneak up to Heero while he was showering and if he still had them on, remove them by taking him by surprise. Yep, that was the plan. It may have been a huge breech in privacy, but they were both guys and desperate times call for desperate measures. #Besides, bet he has a great bod.# *grins* Heero knew something had to be up. Duo was sitting on his bed being still and quiet with a huge grin plastered on his face. Yep, something was definitely up. Even asleep, Duo didn't hold still. Normally, it would take enough sedatives to down an elephant to keep the braided one that still and quiet for a mere five minutes. It had now been exactly twenty-five minutes and eight seconds in counting. Heero had a bad feeling about this. "Oi Heero?" "Hn?" "What the hell is with the f***ing shades?!" "Hn..." "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That does it! That f***ing well does it! Would it hurt you to say one word?! All I ever hear anymore is ‘hn'! ‘Heero, could you pass the salt?!' ‘Hn...!' ‘Good morning, Heero!' ‘Hn...!' ‘F*** you, Heero!' ‘Hn...!' Say something! Say anything!!! I don't care if you tell me to f*** off! Just say something!!!" "Hn... are you done yet?" *calmly* *sighs* "I'm going for a walk." *hangs head in defeat* As Duo had suspected, about five minutes after he left, Heero headed to take his shower. Duo grinned as he pulled his lock picks out of his braid. Upon arriving at his destination, he noticed Heero's shades sitting on the sink. An evil grin played upon Duo's lips. Heero was efficiently scrubbing from bottom to top as per training when he felt the breeze from outside the stall. Before he could react, two hands grabbed him and forced him against the wall. #Nothing appears to be strange about his eyelids.# "God dammit! Open your f***ing eyes!" Heero's response was to throw Duo against the tile hard and punch him in the ribs, breaking them. Duo slumped over in the stall, clutching his ribs, water soaking his normal black attire, and blood coming from his mouth as he coughed while Heero jumped out and replaced his shades in their normal position and exited the bathroom. #I shouldn't have hit him that hard. I've hit him before and he certainly deserved it, but not that hard. Duo I'm sorry. I was just... scared.# #Oh, that's it. Now he's done it. There's no way I'm going to let this go now! Heero Yuy, I'm going to find out what's going on if it's the last thing I do!# Laters, plude Heero:*speaks in monotone* "I am here on a mission to announce and provide proper warnings and disclaimers for this fic. Duo was supposed to do it, but he's out torturing Wufei by duct taping him to a chair and forcing him to listen to Duo read "Pokechibi"." Wufei: "NNOOOOOO!!! MAKE IT STOP!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! OMAE O KOROSU, MAXWELL!!!" Heero: "Hn... Myself and the other Gundam boys belong to Bandai, not plude. She is just borrowing us. This fic contains yaoi and adult content. Read with discretion. Plude would love some feed back. Now read or omae o korosu. Ninmu kanryo."
