"Mood Rings" Chapter 8
by plude
Heero woke up in something resembling a hospital room that was part of Quatre's estate. Duo
was still peacefully sleeping in a bed separated from Heero's by a night stand which
included a remote control and a reading lamp.
Duo slowly awoke as Heero grabbed the remote fearing what Duo might try to make him watch.
He definitely didn't want to watch any more Disney porn.
Duo's whole world was shadowed in pain. His entire body hurt so bad he had to bite his lip
not to scream.
Quatre seemed to sense his pain and entered the room with some pain killers which Duo
promptly refused.
"Could ya bring me some whisky, Q-man?"
Quatre walked off in search of some whisky as Heero flipped on the television and turned it
to the news.
Duo glared up at the television as the news caster babbled on about a certain Oz base
blowing up from terrorist activity. The news said it was a warehouse for building
equipment, but Duo knew different.
"So, was this your *mission*, Heero? I don't remember anyone sending an email saying to
blow the hell..."
"It was necessary."
"Gee Heero, you're getting even harsher. The last time someone shot you all you did was
kill them and a few of their friends. You didn't blow up a whole freakin' base!"
". . . . ."
"You're such a good conversationalist. Ya know that?"
". . . . ."
"So, why are you still wearing those shades, anyway? I mean, it's not like I haven't
already seen your eyes, and I seriously doubt any of the others would be very shocked."
Quatre returned with Duo's whisky and a really long straw.
"Thanks Q-man."
"Are either of you hungry?"
Heero shook his head.
"If I tried to eat anything, I think I would hurl."
"I'll just go so you guys can get some more rest."
"How long have I been out?"
"About 2 ½ days. Get some more rest."
Quatre exits.
"...So, Heero, you didn't answer either of my questions."
Heero failed another attempt to glare at Duo with his sunglasses on.
"Do you have to wear them? Are your eyes more sensitive now?"
". . . . ."
"Is it what all the perfect soldiers are wearing this season?"
"Duo..."
"Hai."
"Get some sleep."
"Not until you answer at least one of my questions. You know Heero, that glaring really
doesn't work well with shades on."
Heero was starting to have a really hard time staring at Duo's battered form. He could see
the pain in the youth's eyes, and it hurt.
"Please, get some sleep, Duo."
"It's a miracle! The perfect soldier asked for something nicely. That will never happen
again. ...Why?"
Duo squinted in pain.
"Duo..."

Who's ready for more "Mood Rings"? Gomen it took so long. My muses kept finding plots for
other fics, and then when I was finally inspired, an earthquake hit Washington, and I had to
clean up the resulting mess in my room and house. Ugh. It's short, but at least it's out.
Enjoy. I promise more much sooner this time.
