Duo: *waves* Hey. I'm taking care of posting this, since Teena is... Heero: Currently acting like she's on crack. Duo: HEERO! Heero: It's true. Duo: She's not acting like she's on crack, she's acting like Botan, who is who she thinks she is! Be nice! *returns attention to ML* Well, luckily, she has short periods of lucidity, during which she writes. So here's more of this. Duo Meets the Gundams "Duo, say hello to Deathscythe." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Duo's jaw dropped. He struggled to his feet, staring at the near-twin Heero was firmly holding back. "Deathscythe?" "None other! C'mon, Heero, lemme go!" Deathscythe pulled against Heero's grip on his cloak, straining. "If I let you go now, you'll fall over," Heero stated calmly. Immediately afterward, he smirked and let go. Deathscythe yelped in surprise as he pitched forward. Duo jumped over to keep him from hitting the floor. Heero snapped his fingers with an exaggeratedly disappointed look. Feminine laughter rang through the hangar as Wing appeared, gliding down on her feathered white wings to land neatly next to Heero. He raised an eyebrow at her. "Showoff." "Always, Hee-chan," Wing replied smugly. Duo looked up from where he was helping Deathscythe get himself together. His eyes widened dramatically. "Who's THAT?!" "This is Wing, I'm sorry to say," Heero replied, smirking. He quickly ducked out of the way as she took a swing at him. Deathscythe snickered. "I'll hold 'im for you," Deathscythe offered, grinning evilly. Wing gave him a dirty look. "I'm still pissed off at you. Don't talk to me." Deathscythe winced. Duo's eyebrows went up. "Ooooh, what did YOU do?" "Does 'open mouth, insert foot' mean anything to you?" "Ouch. Oi, 'Scythe, how come you never talked to me before?" "Anou... I never had anything to say?" Wing and Heero choked in unison, faces showing obvious disbelief. Duo looked at them, then at Deathscythe. "Uh-huh. Right. Oi, if Wing and Deathscythe are people, are the others too?" "Yeah," Deathscythe replied. "Of course, none of the others are as cool as me." "Well, that's a given," Duo said, grinning. He latched onto Deathscythe and started dragging him around, craning his head. "Come out, come out, wherever you are!" "Honestly, Duo," Quatre said exasperatedly, walking out of the shadows with Sandrock beside him. "Can't you take ANYTHING seriously?" "This is me we're talkin' about, Q," Duo replied wryly. "Anyway, what're you doing here?" "Visiting Sandrock, of course. Trowa and Heavyarms should be back any minute. They said they were going for a walk." "NANI?! Am I the last one to find out about this?!" "No," Heero said as he and Wing caught up. "Wufei doesn't know yet." "Oh, yeah, THAT makes me feel better." Duo clasped his hands over his heart theatrically, face uptilted. "My own lover, withholding such an important thing from me! I'm pierced to the core!" Heero smirked. "That happens later, when we go back to bed." Duo's jaw dropped. Deathscythe reached over and pushed it back up as the others snickered at Duo's expression. Wing was trying very hard not to burst out laughing, large white wings twitching from the effort. "Who are you, and what have you done with Heero?" Duo asked, wide- eyed. "You're NEVER like this around other people!" "That's where we get off," Deathscythe replied. "We aren't people." "Quatre's people," Duo shot back challengingly. Before it could go any further, a quiet voice interrupted. "Can we just assume Heero's loosened up and stop argueing over nothing?" tbc... Duo: *chuckles* Heero, you bad boy. Heero: *straight-faced* The devil made me do it. Duo: Shouldn't talk about your wife that way. Heero: *shrugs* I doubt she'd care at the moment... Duo: *sighs* Well, give C&C, we'll relay it to Teena when she's herself again.
