Valentine's Day: Part 1
By Blue Violet
Duo bounded into the living room with a joyous smile on his face. His lover was sitting on an armchair, tapping away on his laptop. Duo plopped himself on a big, squishy beanbag.
<Trowa> Plop. Squish. <Quatre> *wrinkles nose* Can we please lose the third grade humor?
"Hey, Heero! Do you know what day is tomorrow?" asked Duo with a happy twinkle in his violet eyes.
<Heero> *boredly* Tuesday?
"Of course I do," said Heero without even taking of his eyes even for a second from his laptop's screen. "It's Tuesday."
<Duo> Oh yeah, Heero. You're awesome. That infallible logic always turns me on. *laughs*
"I know it's Tuesday but do you really know what day it is tomorrow?" asked Duo again.
<Heero> You mean, do I really know it's Tuesday? Yes, I really know it's Tuesday. <Duo> *sweatdrop* Why are we making fun of this? They got the characterization down pat. ^^;
"The day that you shall die if you keep on asking me more stupid questions like this."
<Quatre> Bzzzt, wrong answer. But thanks for trying.
Duo gave an exasperated sigh and threw his hands up in his air.
<Duo> *possessively* Do you hear that? MY air! Mine! And you may not breathe it unless I give you permission! <Heero> .... *holds breath until he passes out* <Quatre> Um, um, um..! *nervously looks to the purple Heero, then the stoic Duo* <Duo> .. okay. Permission granted. <Heero> *sits up and inhales deeply*
"Geez Heero!
<All> *hands on hips* Gee winkies, young man!
Don't you ever look at the calender?"
<Heero> I only look at calendars, not your imaginary 'calanders'. <Duo> By now he would've just killed me. Admittedly, I probably would've killed me too.
he said. "It's February the 14th tomorrow!"
<Trowa> •Duo• Sure, you remember, the day you first beat the crap out of me then tried to rape me as penance?
"If you wanted to know what the date was then why didn't you ask me in about the date in the first place?" asked Heero irritably.
<Wufei> Jeez yes, get frustrated with him, he's a stupid American f*ck anyway. <Duo> Wh.. what?! Pardon?
"It's Valentine's Day!" Duo nearly shouted.
<Heero> *administers cotton swabs to his ears to stop the bleeding* In Japan we don't have Valentine's Day as a national holiday. <Wufei> Stupid American f*ck. <Duo> NANI? *lifts his fists* <Quatre> And THAT was a Japanese saying. If you're American, why bother to say little Japanese catchphrases? <Duo> *sobs brokenly* Leave.. leave me alone! Cripes!
"You know what day it is don't you?"
<Heero> Right, right, I believe we've already been through this: Tuesday.
"Yeah. Of course I know what Valentine's Day is," said Heero, still tapping away on his laptop. "So?"
<Trowa> •Heero• Why, you interested in a little Valentine's tomfoolery?
The braided pilot thought he was going to go nuts.
<All> And he was probably right.
Heero was sooo dense.
<Duo> *knocks on Heero's head* Thick as a brick, baby. <Heero> Hands off. *thumps Duo's noggin with his forefinger*
He wished - he wished he could smash that stupid laptop right onto Heero's head.
<Quatre> I note with this author's work that a lot of actions involving smashing Heero's laptop are mentioned... <Wufei> Yup.
"You are soooo romantic, Heero," muttered Duo sarcastically.
<Duo> Oh, totally. *blank look* What, I was serious!
"Aren't you happy that tomorrow is Valentine's Day?"
<Heero> Damnit, no, can we just quit the game of twenty questions already?
"It's just an ordinary day, Duo," Heero pointed out.
<All> WE'VE ALREADY BEEN OVER THIS! <Trowa> Repetition! Repetition!
"Just an ordinary day!" shrieked Duo.
<Duo> Aiiaaiiiaaiii! *shakes a maraca*
"Are you crazy or something?
<All> *raise hands* Yes!
It's not and ordinary day - it's a very special day for lovers all over the world!"
<Duo> And It also happens to be an extremely cheesy Stephen King movie, but hey, we're not here to nitpick!
"Why? Because you can get flowers and candies from your admirers?"
<Quatre> •Duo• Oh, look... here's one from Hilde.. oh, and here's one from Hilde.. and there's another from.. why, Hilde. Hmmm. <All> Hint hint, Duo. <Duo> Look, just because she cooks and cleans and follows me around constantly and performs menial tasks for me doesn't mean I have to LIKE her! >< Leave me alone!
"Yes!" <All> RIGHT ONNNN! *fist-pumping ensues*
"You can have them anytime you know.
<Duo> *grumbles* Not the same case with you. <Trowa> *snicker*
Besides, why get all hot
<All> 0.0
and bothered?
<Wufei> ...whew.. *wipes brow* Nice save.
You don't have to worry that your social status is ending or that your storage of candies is lessening. You know that you'll be getting a lot of gifts from all the girls you know."
<Heero> Including me. <Trowa> Heero Yuy playing the role of Duo's closet girlfriend. What an absolutely striking thought we have there.
"But I want to get presents from you and only you," whined Duo.
<Duo> *pleadingly* I jus' need a lil' loooove! <Heero> No. *yanks Duo's braid* <Duo> *yelps* Ow ow ow!!
"I want to spend Valentine's Day with the very special person I love."
<Duo> Zechs! <All> *give Duo weird looks* ... <Duo> Er, uhm, Hilde, yes, of course, that's it. *cough* <Quatre> .. it's okay, man. I know. *pats him on the back*
"I don't believe in Valentine's Day," said Heero monotonously.
<Heero> •pout• If I close my eyes it'll go away!
"It's just some gimmick for lovesick people to buy a lot of useless stuff. And only girls like this kind of stuff."
<Trowa> Hence the reason Duo is-- <Duo> *makes a scything motion at Trowa's neck as a warning* Take it no further, Barton.
"Hey! Guys like Valentine's Day, too!" protested Duo.
<Wufei> Especially us stupid American f*ck-type guys! <Duo> Wh-- WHAAAT?!?! *leaps onto Wufei and scratches his eyes* <Wufei> Ok! Ok!! I recant! Recant!! <Quatre> Oh my, now Wufei's blind! <Trowa> Dear me. *watches Duo go nuts* <Wufei> Enough! Mercy! <Duo> *ceases his assault and removes himself from Wufei's person, returning slowly to his seat* <Wufei> .. faerie boy. <Duo> WHAT-- *silenced and restrained by Heero*
"Like who?" "Me," said Duo proudly. "Besides you."
<Trowa> •Heero• I dunno.. are there any other gay people besides you?
Duo thought for a sec. "Quatre," he said.
<Trowa> Okay, there's one. <Quatre> *blush* Erm... <Trowa> *looks* What? C'mon, what? OH.. oh yeah. *reddens slightly* <Wufei> Don't forget your sexual orientation, guys.
"Hn. That's not surprising considering that Quatre seems to be more of a girl than he is a boy," snorted Heero.
<Heero> Do we even really need to contest that one?
"Who are you calling a girl?" asked a voice.
<Quatre> Dun-dun-duuuun! *drumrolls* It's time for.. the Quatre Show! *all point to Quatre as he begins singing* Starring me, I'm Quatre! Yes it's the Quatre Show, and we've got lots of good guests! Yeah!
Duo and Heero turned to look at the direction of the speaker. They saw Quatre and Trowa standing in the doorway of the living room and they were holding hands.
<Trowa> Nobody here but a couple of us girls.
"Nobody," answered Heero.
<Heero> Just you.
"Come on Heero," said Quatre. "I heard everything you said."
<Quatre and Trowa> Tell us we're gay! Tell us now!
"Sorry," muttered Heero.
<Duo> Then again, you're not REALLY sorry, are you? <Heero> Never have been, never will be.
"It's OK. Sometimes I feel as if I really am playing the role of the girl in our relationship," the blonde joked and smiled at his taller lover by his side.
<Quatre> *bitterly* Knowing full well it was the _truth_..
Trowa smiled back in return and ruffled Quatre's fine blonde hair. "I don't really feel as if you're playing the feminine role in our relationship but what I do know is that you're more beautiful than the most beautiful girl in the whole universe."
<Quatre> *high-pitched* So.. um.. in other words, I'm playing the girl? <Trowa> Oh, don't you know it. *laughs maniacally* <Quatre> Uwaaah! ><;
"Oh Trowa," sighed Quatre happily and snuggled closer to Trowa as they settled on a peach coloured, leather sofa.
<Quatre> I sure hope I didn't pick out that furniture. It sounds hideous. <Wufei> You _would_ know so much about tasteful furniture, wouldn't you. <Quatre> Well, in all reality I'll probably be the one out shopping for furnishings while Trowa sits at home on the peach-colored couch and drinks a beer.. <Duo> Hey, I wonder what it'd be like to see Trowa do backflips when he's drunk? <All> *turn to Trowa, smiling deviously* <Trowa> ... -_-
"You say the sweetest things."
<All> Saccharin overdose..
Duo thought that he could just gag at all the mushiness those two displayed so openly in front of them. He wished he had a piece of string so that he could strangle those two crazy lovebirds so that he'll never have to listen to their lovey-dovey talks ever again.
<Duo> Say, why did I just change tense? <Heero> Really BAD sense of grammar? Who knows. *shrug* <Duo> And I'd prefer something a bit.. _larger_ than a string to strangle them with. Wire, maybe.
But the truth was, Duo envied them.
<Wufei> Matter of fact, he wanted to _join_ them. <Trowa> Ah, menage a troi! How invigorating! 0_o
He envied the way they were so in love with each other. It was obvious that they were a perfect match and that nothing would ever come between them.
<Wufei> Except for the Sock Drawer Incident. <Quatre> That's right! I say blues go on the LEFT side! <Trowa> Aw, what do you know about color-coding? <Quatre> Umm, I'm the gay one, remember? That automatically makes my taste ten times better than yours. <Trowa> Says you! *razz* <Quatre> .. Aah! *spins to Duo and buries his face in Duo's shirt* Trowa's being spiteful again! <Duo> *rolls eyes* There there, you poor thing.
Duo sneaked a glance at his lover who was still tapping the keys on his laptop, completely ignoring everybody else in the room.
<Heero> •to his laptop screen• Oh yeah, baby. Take it off, Tammy, take it all off. <Duo> •fic self• Heero, what are you doing over there? <Heero> *somewhat incoherently* It's Tuesday.
'Why can't Heero be more romantic like Quatre?' he thought sourly. 'Or like Trowa? Heck, a toad can be more romantic than that unfeeling Perfect Soldier.'
<All> Would you fic writers just stop calling him the Perfect Soldier!! ><
"Trowa and I have been making plans for Valentine's Day," announced Quatre. "What about you guys?"
<Quatre> *snootily* We have come to rub our gaiety in your faces! What have you to say about it?
"Oh... I do have plans but Heero here feels that Valentine's Day is nothing but a big waste of time," said Duo sourly.
<Heero> *puckers lips* <Duo> Hm? Want a kiss, Heero? <Heero> .. don't even joke about that! *kicks Duo's chair out from under him* <Duo> *CLUNK* Ow ow ow!!
"A big waste of time?" gasped Quatre. "Are you kidding Heero? Valentine's Day is a very special day for lovers all over. It's a day to show your loved one just how much you care!" "No use telling him that," said Duo. "I told him the exact same thing but he still thinks that it's all just a stupid gimmick to get all those lovesick people to buy a lot of candies and flowers."
<All> Yes, yes, it's the same thing you've said twenty times over.. *motion for the fanfic to get moving to a new topic*
"You can give candies and flowers any other day," pointed out Heero. "Not just tomorrow."
<Heero> There's always Tuesday!
"Of course," said Quatre. "But the point is, tomorrow is a special day because it's a day for lovers to celebrate their love for each other."
<Quatre> I can restate that in fourteen different ways if you want me to.
"I don't think he understands," muttered Duo dryly.
<All> However, we DO! Now move on to a new topic!
Heero gave Duo his special glare
<Heero> Only my _special_ glare for you, sweetheart. <Wufei> Um.. Yuy... never call Duo that again in my presence, if you please.. I may toss my proverbial cookies..
that can melt even a huge iceburg and the braided boy shut up immediately. "So... you guys aren't doing anything together tomorrow?" queried Trowa, raising an eyebrow at Duo and Heero.
<Duo> Oh.. some things, sure. *sidewards glance* But such things aren't for you to hear about. <Heero> At least, not in front of Quatre. <Quatre> What? What sort of stuff are we speaking of? Come on! <All> *shake heads* <Quatre> Why not? I wanna know! ><
"I guess so," muttered Duo. "Unless of course, Heero finally found something better to do than to stare at his stupid laptop."
<Heero> Screwing you is not an option. <Duo> --
"Doing some important work isn't as stupid as squeling over red hearts and pink candies like some idiotic school girl," retorted Heero.
<Trowa> Ooh. Nice one, Heero. I'm sure that went right into Duo's little pink schoolgirl heart.
"Why don't you give Valentine's Day a chance?" suggested Quatre. "Who knows. You might even enjoy yourself tomorrow."
<Wufei> JUST SHUT UP ABOUT VALENTINE'S DAY ALREADY!!
"Yeah, right," mumbled Heero under his breath. "Having a whole day of fun with a baka who doesn't know how to keep his big mouth shut."
<Duo> We're best friends! *big fake grin accompanied with grabbing onto Heero and making a V-sign with his fingers, even as Heero draws his gun and prepares to murder Duo*
"Hey! I heard that!" "I don't understand what you guys see in this Valentine's Day," continued Heero.
<Wufei> ... *grabs head* AAAAAAARRRRGGH!!!!!
"I think it's just a crappy day for sappy people.
<Trowa> It's crappy, it's sappy, it's a musical humdinger!
And most of all, I think it's nothing but a big waste of time."
<Quatre> *takes tally* Heero's point of view has been stated twenty times already... yep!
"You, you, you are so unromantic!" sputtered Duo angrily.
<Quatre> *falsetto* You make me feel.. you make me feel.. you make me feel like a natural woman... <Trowa> *cracks up*
His voice was shaking and his face was getting red.
<All> Then, Duo explode. <Pendrell> What, you guys been looking over SM Crystalis? <Trowa> In our spare time we also happened to peruse the entire NG saga and parts of Bishouju Senshi Sailor Moon Starlight Legend. <Quatre> Ugh.. memories... horrible.. memories... <Duo> Makato, Makito, Kamato.... it's all the same to a crappy author. <Pendrell> Gooood. I expect a lot out of you guys, being that you're all whackjobs in one way or another. <All> *unenthused* Thanks.
Heero took his eyes away from the laptop's screen for a while to look at his lover and was surprised to see how angry the braided pilot was. "I wish you'll be romantic just for once for my sake for once!
<All> For once for once for once!
Tomorrow's Valentine's Day for heaven's sake
<All> WE KNOW!!
and all I wanted was to spend a wonderful day with you and you're spoiling everything for me!! I hate you!"
<Heero> •fic self• Well, that solves that, then. *turns back to laptop*
Duo ran away from the room and not long after that, they heard a door slamming.
<Quatre> Turns out Wufei quarantined the obnoxiously romantic Duo in the closet so they wouldn't have to listen to him bitch about Valentine's Day anymore. <Trowa> The figurative closet or...?
"I think you hurt Duo's feelings, Heero," said Quatre softly.
<Quatre> Not that that's obvious or anything.
"He was crying. I saw."
<Quatre> Teacheerrr! Heero put gum in Duo's hair! I saw him do it! I saw!
"So? What am I supposed to do?" asked Heero angrily.
<Trowa> Nothing left to do but join me and Quatre in our.. 'celebration'. <Wufei> Yes, for _I_ am not an option.
"Run after him and comfort him? Duo should learn to be more of a man.
<Duo> *struck* Oooh... <Heero> Yup. I sure nailed 'im.
I can't always listen to his every whims and needs."
<Duo> *plaintive* Not that you ever DO!
"Of course but you should try to be more understanding towards his feelings, Heero," said Quatre gently. "All he's asking is for you to be more loving and caring."
<Trowa> He asks you this by slamming doors in your house. <Duo> For hell's sake, we're only.. uh.. 17? Is this post-EW? Anybody? <All> *uncomfortable shrugs* ... <Duo> We're only in our mid-teens, yet we're bonking the living daylights out of each other! Is that _normal_?! <Trowa> For some people, yes.. <Duo> Well, not us! We're all deranged in one way or another, so none of us should be lobbing all over the others.. it's just not right! ><
"I love him and he knows that. Isn't that enough?" asked Heero. "Just knowing that somebody loves you is never enough,"
<Quatre> *sings* It's never enough, no, it's never enough, no, it's never enough... <Trowa> Closet BareNakedLadies fan.
spoke up Trowa as he held the blonde boy close to his chest.
<Quatre> *muffled* Hwf, Uh'm thuffocating. Twowuh! <Wufei> He can't breathe what with being wedged between Barton's two great pecs.
"You should tell him that you love him through your action and words."
<Heero> Alright, got it.. so, um, rape him then beat him? <Duo> It's the special Yuy way of expressing love. ^_^
"That's right," agreed Quatre. "You should be more of the person Duo wants you to be even if it was just for one day. It would mean so much to him." "Hn. I don't know... That's not just my way. "There's always a first time, ne?" asked Quatre, smiling sweetly at Heero.
<All> *cough or grunt and look in varying directions away from the story*
"And it shall be your last time, if you like," added Trowa. "I'm sure Duo would be happy and remember this Valentine's Day forever when he sees how romantic you are tomorrow..." Trowa gave Heero a wink and a mischievous smile.
<Trowa> Hello, big boy. <Heero> *disgusted* How completely out of character! It appears you were quite wrong earlier, Duo. Trowa and yourself are so out of it..!
"Hahaha. And maybe I'll beat you in the 'Most Romantic Lover's competition," said Heero sarcastically. "No way am I gonna be some mushy sap tomorrow like you guys."
<Duo> *bored* But probably you will be. <Heero> *big eyes* Anything to please you, sweetcakes! <All> 0.o;;
"Look. If somehow Duo thinks that you aren't worthy enough to be his lover, then he can find somebody to replace you any second," said Trowa seriously.
<Duo> *imperially* You have displeased me. Next!
"Duo is quite attractive and I'm sure there are plenty of other girls or boys who would be thrilled to be his lover. So tomorrow is your chance to prove that you're worthy to be his lover. It's Valentine's Day tomorrow.
<All> *absolute monotone* Is it really?
Anybody who's in love with Duo would be trying their hardest to win Duo's heart so you'd better watch out." Trowa glanced at the pretty blonde whose head was resting on his chest and entwined his long fingers with the blonde's.
<Wufei> Suddenly Quatre is replaced by a stick-thin supermodel!
Quatre looked up and smiled prettily at him.
<Quatre> Can you.. can you even DO that? Smile prettily? ^_-
"And I'd better make sure that nobody's gonna steal my angel away from me," added Trowa and he smiled back at his lover.
<Trowa> *stern* Quatre, don't touch the angel. <Quatre> But I-- <Trowa> No but's, stop touching my angel. It'll file a harassment suit if you keep it up.
"You're never gonna lose me, Trowa," murmured Quatre as he blushed.
<Quatre> Unless I get lost between the glory that is the two mighty pecs of Trowa!
Two pink circles appeared on his cheeks.
<Quatre> Clown-Mode! <All> GO! *all contract acutely rosy cheeks* <Duo> Oh jeez! Get it off!! *scrapes at his face until it bleeds* I HATE clowns! <Trowa> You fear clowns? I am a clown! Hu hu hu! *spooky clown face* <Duo> Kowai neee! >< *passes out into Heero's practically waiting arms*
"I'll be here forever by your side. And I would also have to make sure that I won't lose you to some other girl tomorrow."
<Wufei> Hey, he just admitted that he really IS a girl.
The pair kissed and Heero looked on enviously.
<Heero> I wish I were as out-of-character as them.
He wondered what it was like to be like that - to be so in love with each other all the time. It wasn't that he didn't love Duo all the time
<Duo> Heh, suuure..
but he just didn't like to show his feelings to the rest of the world as openly as those two making out on the sofa.
<All> Gack! x_x
But even when he was all alone with Duo, he was never very open with his feelings and somehow that made him very guilty.
<Trowa> So guilty he'd usually end up molesting Duo. Oh well. <Duo> *glare* For a clown, you're not very funny, damnit.
Heero made a desicion. He would be the most perfect Valentine's date in the whole wide world. But how? He would need the help of the most perfect and romantic couple in the whole universe.
<Duo> Puff Daddy and Jennifer Lopez? <Heero> Who? <Wufei> Stop inserting your American cultural references into this!
"Ahem," said Heero and the couple before him quickly broke up their make-out session.
<Heero> •fic self• No no, by all means, continue on. I was actually beginning to enjoy myself for a minute there.
"Aa, gomen," apologized Quatre, blushing. "I guess we forgot that there was somebody else in here besides me and Trowa."
<Quatre> Since you blend in with the furniture so well and whatnot.
Trowa was also blushing and Heero was surprised. It was the first time he ever saw Trowa blushing. In fact it made the usually stoic and solemn brunnette look quite adorable.
<Duo> That's not fic Heero's opinion, I hope..
'No wonder Quatre keeps telling Duo that Trowa looks adorable,' thought Heero. 'I would call Trowa handsome but never adorable but looking at him blush - I can see why.' "So... I have considered what you guys have said and I have decided that I will listen to your advice," said Heero. He saw Quatre and Trowa exchanging glances. "Only I hope that you guys aren't gonna make me do anything stupid or embarrasing or I swear that I'm gonna terrorize you and that you won't be able to sleep peacefully at night."
<All> Scary threat. Way to go. Woo woo. *mild rah-rahing ensues*
"Who ever said that we ever slept at night," muttered Trowa under his breath but it was loud enough for Heero to hear his words.
<Wufei> Sweet Nataku! More information than we EVER needed to know!!
"Trowa!" gasped the Arabian and he blushed redder than ever.
<All> *point accusingly* NYMPHOS!
Heero smirked and Trowa also started blushing. He had thought that nobody had heard what he had muttured.
<Quatre> For a smart guy, you're pretty stupid, Trowa.. --;
"Oh... that's why you guys look pretty tired every morning," teased Heero with a smirk. "You haven't been sleeping at night, eh?"
<Duo> Hate to bring this up, but.. ehem... ah, 'rump hump', anyone? Obviously a referral here? <All> *avert eyes to avoid thinking much on the topic* <Wufei> *hoarsely* I can't believe we're actually reading this. It's so.. disillusioning.
"Hey, that's not the topic we're on!" said Trowa quickly, trying to change back to the original subject.
<Trowa> Thank God, Trowa saves the day...
"We were talking about helping you be the best Valentine's date Duo ever had."
<Duo> You know, I think the two subjects go hand in hand. <Quatre> *blushing furiously* They do not.
"You know, why don't Trowa talk to Heero about this matter while I go check on Duo," suggested Quatre,
<Wufei> -- morphing into his grammatically-incorrect, country bumpkin form. <Quatre> Why don't that thar Trowa talk to them thar Heero fer a while, Ah'll be back in a jiffy!
getting up from the sofa. "He must still be pretty upset. I'll go and comfort him a bit."
<Duo> *jokingly* A _bit_. *nudges Quatre playfully*
"What? You're leaving me here all alone to have a little discussion with Heero?" asked Trowa in surprise. "I think it's better if you were the one who's having the discussion with him. I'm sure Heero and I will just sit still and not say a word!"
<All> *stunned* Absolutely true!
Quatre laughed. "I'm sure there will be plenty of things you guys can talk about," he said.
<Heero> Okay, um... death hurts like hell, strudel, death hurts like hell... <Trowa> Don't forget about the philosophy of war. We always seem to lapse into that. <Heero> Um, um, okay.. strudel, death, war...
"Don't worry. I'll be back in a couple of minutes."
<Quatre> If he tries to bite you, kick him in the snoot or spray him with the mace. That'll hold 'im off for a little while.
Trowa gazed into Quatre's sapphire blue orbs with pleading eyes and Quatre laughed again.
<Trowa> Gotta love those... orbs.... *odd expression* <Quatre> *holds up two sapphire orbs* Blue balls! <All> ACK!! <Duo> *points* You.. you sick little monkey!!! <Quatre> What? .. *looks down* ..oh. Heh. Heh. *nervously* I'll just be putting these away now..
"Don't look at me like that, Trowa," said Quatre softly. "I'll be back as soon as possible." The blonde boy leaned his head towards the tall brunnette's face and kissed him softly on the lips. Then with a cheery little wave at his lover and Heero, he went out of the room. The room was silent for a few minutes after that. "Well?" asked Heero. "What sort of romantic notions are we gonna talk about?" "I don't know," said Trowa slowly.
<Wufei> •Trowa• Um, you know.. the romantic kind...
"Huh? But I thought you knew a lot about this romance thing. You always seem to be doing a lot of romantic stuff with Quatre."
<Duo> •Trowa• Well, sort of but not really... no, it's just your imagination.
"Actually, all romantic things are Quatre's main speciality," explained Trowa. "I just do whatever he likes."
<Trowa> Wear the French maid costume... perform parts of Shakespeare's Hamlet while doing backflips... you know.. um...
"Oh, so you're Quatre's love slave, ne?" teased Heero with a sly smile and Trowa blushed for maybe the third or fourth time that day.
<Heero> Aw... *hangs head in shame and shakes* <Duo> Luckily I exited LONG ago and I don't have to be subject to this character-violating storyline.
"I guess we'd better sit and wait for Quatre to come back then," said Heero and continued to type on his laptop while Trowa sat quietly, still blushing.
<Duo> And we leave off at a _very_ exciting point in the plot, gents! <Heero> The action is so.. intense. <Trowa> I can't wait to hear what Heero has to say about strudels. <All> Yeah!
"I know it's Tuesday but do you really know what day it is tomorrow?" asked Duo again. "You know what day it is don't you?" "It's Valentine's Day!" Duo nearly shouted. "It's just an ordinary day, Duo," Heero pointed out. "Just an ordinary day!" shrieked Duo.
<Quatre> Hey guys, I thought it'd be fun if we reinacted a couple of the scenes from this chapter. You know, just to help the readers at home catch up with the plot, since it's rolling along oh-so quick. ^^ <Trowa> Eh, why not! <Duo> I'm game. And away we go!
Scene: Heero sits on a sofa, typing at his laptop. Type type type. Duo observes from a distance, with an almost-bordering-on goofy expression. Trowa and Quatre are too busy doing... stuff to be in the scene.
Duo: Do you know what day it is tomorrow? Heero: It's Tuesday. Duo: Other than that! Heero: Second day of the work week. Duo: Valentine's Day! Jeez, Heero! *sappy look* Heero: *type type type* Duo: So do you really know what day it is tomorrow? Heero: Tuesday. Duo: Um, do you know what else it is? Heero: Tuesday? Duo: .. Waaah! *runs away shrieking about ColdFish Heero Yuy* Heero: ... *type type type*
Trowa and Quatre enter the scene, ruffled and somewhat flustered.
Quatre: I'm a girl! I'm a girl! Trowa: Heero, we're gay, I think. Heero: Duo is a damn romantic sap. Trowa: You should be too! Quatre: Be more.. like US! Heero: Yuck.
The End.
