Ghostfic tidbit...
"Well.. Here we are."
'Yes.'
"... Car's parked, I have everything in my backpack... I didn't forget anything, did I?"
'No.'
"Sure?"
'Duo, we checked thrice already.'
"... We can go in."
'We can.'
Neither of us moves.
Wufei's house is waiting for us at the end of the lane. It's spacious, but not too big. It looks calm, inviting. Certainly not scary. But the view of the second car parked there is enough to freeze us in our tracks.
Quatre and Trowa are here.
Trowa... doesn't scare me. I know he'll accept me as I am. And he's soothing to be around. But Quatre... By God, I love that man, but sometimes he doesn't understand my need to be left alone.
"No need to stall."
'No need.'
"Stop agreeing with me, dammit!!"
Heero smirks at me. 'But you're totally right, Duo-san. We don't need to stall.'
"ARGH!! Yeah, you can laugh! At least you can pretend you're not here-- uhh..." Oh fuck. Open mouth, insert foot.
'That's at least one good thing about being dead,' he answer with a snort. He looks at me, and must see me cringe, because his eyes soften. 'So what if I'm dead. I am, we can't change that, and if you call me living impaired or some stupid politically correct crap I'll laugh in your face. As we both noticed, it isn't the end of the world.'
I guess it's morbid humor, but I can't help it, I snicker anyway. He's so fucking blunt.
He nudges me, nodding toward the kitchen window-- the curtain is still moving slowly. Someone was watching. Better hurry up and hope they didn't see me laugh. I get out of the door and lock it, giving Heero a worried glance. Can he go through objects? We never tested. He doesn't like going through me. And he doesn't go through the seats or anything, so...
He makes a face as he considers the door and then slides out through the window, Dukes of Hazzard style. I don't point out that the window was closed too so he may as well have gotten out the normal way ; he's very sexy when he moves like that.
The door opens before we reach it. Quatre is waiting, a hesitant little smile on his face. Our eyes meet, and suddenly his eyes widen and he lifts his hands to his mouth, shocked. I freeze.
Did he see Heero?
"Duo... You --look..." He manages a poor little smile, his voice thick with emotion. "... better."
Oooh, hell, Kleenex alert. I'd so hoped to avoid that. I go to him, fast, and give him a hug. Gah, I feel so uneasy. I hope it's enough to make him feel better, because if he breaks down I don't know what I will do. I so can't deal with more emotional upsets today.
He hugs me back, tight. I can't breathe. Forgot he was so strong. Luckily he releases me fast. Good, it didn't last too much longer than a friendly greeting hug should last. Wufei's neighbors won't think weird and embarrassing things about the type of friends he has. ... Not that I feel like I'm too macho for hugs, but hell, not in public! And NO, I'm definitely not blushing.
He coughs in his hand and looks embarrassed for a second, but his eyes are still dancing with way too much joy. Now I'm the one who's embarrassed.
'You're adorable when you're squirming, love,' whispers Heero in my ear.
I hide my hand from Quatre behind my back and give him a well-deserved one-fingered salute. "So, Quatre, been a while. How are you?"
"I'm just fine," he grins back, looking at me in a way that implies that I'm partly responsible for his good mood. Does Wufei have a hole in his garden that I could dive in head first? I could use it right now.
"Quatre, are you being sappy again? The doctor told you no more than once a week, blondie."
Trowa!! My savior, light of my life, my mysterious unibanged-- "Trowa Barton, what the FUCK have you done to your hair?!"
'... Now that's an... interesting look on him.'
"It's not a fucking interesting look, it's just goddamn weird!! Trowa, man, where is your BANG?!" I wail, petting his hair. The bang is still here... except not. It's SHORT. Like, no longer than down to his cheekbone. At least it's still flopping down over one of his eyes; I couldn't live with seeing both of them at the same time, now could I?
The green-eyed one gives me a funny look and reaches out, tugging on one of my locks. The one I cut for Heero. Um, oops?
"You're one to talk. At least my haircut makes sense."
"What happened?" Quatre asks, looking faintly worried. He knows how much I love my hair as well as them all.
I turn red and squirm. "I don't want to talk about it."
"Got caught in a fan?"
"I SAID I don't want to talk about it," I answer, messing up Trowa's shortened bang in retaliation.
"Ooh, that must be really embarrassing then," he answers. I'm doomed.
The door is pushed wider open before I'm forced to come up with something that would make them drop the subject without being a lie. Thank God. Wufei, if I weren't a married man I'd kiss you.
"What's going on here?"
"Oh, nothing," Quatre deadpans, his eyes glowing with mirth. "Trowa and Duo are molesting each other's hair."
"I don't know you," the traitor deadpans back, closing the door.
The three of us blink at the door, unbelieving.
"... Did he just... lock us out?"
"Yep."
Beside us, Heero's shoulders are shaking with silent laughter.

*snicker* Best line in the fic. It contrasts especially well with the wuvable, emotional Quatre who's so happy to see his friend looking better. He may be wuvable and emotional, but he can still kick your ass! >:D

Aime bcp ! ^^ Y'a un trou entre ce qui est sur ton site et le morceau que voilà mais c'est pas grave, j'aime qd meme (j'irai creuser ton blog, y'a p'être d'autres morceaux qui trainent... ou alors je te fais mes chibi eyes pour que tu me les envoies ? ;p)
J'avoue, j'ai pas lue la fic d'origine (le warning m'effraie effectivement ! lol !) mais je suis bien contente de pas en avoir besoin pour pouvoir déguster celle-là ! ^^ Cela dit, là, Heero semble avoir bcp moins de difficultés pour faire savoir sa précense alors j'veux savoir ce qui s'est passé entre temps ! ^_^ (rmq que c'est peut-être juste duo qui est en meilleure forme, lol)
Enfin bref, j'aime cette histoire !
Re: ^O^
Franchement la fic de départ mérite d'être lue. T_T je te couperai les morceaux où y a du sexe si tu veux... ;_; (pourtant même ceux-là sont bien écrits et pas si explicites que ca...)
enfin, heero a plus de facilité à se déplacer parce que c'est au moin une semaine plus tard ^_^
*mrrron*
