GW -- complication (1x2x5) tidbit 3.5

the rest of what i've written today, and it's not a lot. =__=;;;;




They made their way along the ledge and finally arrived face to the sea. The sun was just rising. Duo found a place to sit, on a tuft of grass, and admired the scenery. Heero sat on his heels as he kept a wary eye on their surroundings. He was already bored.

"Hey, Heero..."

Duo was still watching the horizon, a hand over his eyes to protect it from the direct light of the sun. His braid was dripping, and he wrung it absently. It reminded Heero that his own bangs were dripping in his eyes. He pushed them back with both hands, and blinked when he noticed Duo staring at him.

"... What?"

"Uh--nothing. You just look different when you don't have your bangs hanging in your face."

Heero snorted. "I'll keep that in mind next time I want to go incognito. That wasn't what you were going to say," he added, watching him curiously.

Duo looked out of balance for a few seconds. "... It's... Kinda girly, isn't it?" he finally asked with a little laugh.

"What is?"

"All that crap about how sunrises over the sea are so beautiful. Sure, we don't have that up there, but it's not all that more special than seeing it on a screen."

"It's real here. Witnessing the birth of a new day. That makes it special."

"Sounds like something a chick would say."

"Repeat that and you'll end up feeding the crabs. Speaking of crabs, is there a specific reason why Wufei is so hostile around you, or is it just a personality conflict?"

Apparently he'd caught Duo by surprise. Duo stared at him, frowning in confusion. "How d'you get from crabs to Wufei?"

"You were the one who said he had one up his ass yesterday."

That got a good, loud guffaw out of Duo. "Right, I forgot. Ehh, I dunno. Right from the start he's been nagging 'bout little things, and that kinda annoys me... But we can fight side by side just fine!" he added, grimacing.

"I know. I just don't like being caught between you two. And recently it's been getting worse."

There was a funny look on Duo's face for a moment, but it passed before he could ask what it had been about. "I'm not gonna say it's not my fault, because I admit he's fun to bug, but I'm not even sure WHY I bug him so damn much."

"I just don't like being caught between you two. And recently it's been getting worse."

Now if that line isn't foreshadowing I don't know what is. *cackles* Oh poor, poor clueless Heero. He keeps being all cute and sexy and pounce-ible while Duo and Wufei are being all 'ooh! me wants' in the background. Rawwr.

I luffs it! =^-^= mew!
