~Baby I apologize
for all the things that I've done
that I've done~
Wufei sat in an armchair in the room he was staying in on the space station. In his lap sat a book written in Chinese, but he had long given up on trying to read. His attention kept drifting to a certain braided pilot.
'I wonder why he looked so miserable at the meeting. He looked like he had been crying, I just wish I knew why. Maybe I made the wrong decision in leaving...no, he couldn't have been crying because of me. I mean, if he had loved me before I left, then why didn't he show it? Why weren't there any signs? Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe there were signs, and I just didn't see them...I don't know anymore, everything is so messed up. I just wish I knew why he had looked so upset.'
~See I know that I've been a fool
for far to long~
He sat there, contemplating the wonder that was Duo, for another hour or so, until he began to feel sleepy.
Just as sleep began to over take him, a knock sounded at the door. Yawning slightly, then putting up his usual stoic expression, he opened the door, then smiled. Sally stood outside the door, an exsasperated expression on her face, hands on her hips.
"Chang Wufei, were have you been?! I've only been looking for you and calling for you for the last half hour! Did you know that you've kept everyone waiting for at least 15 minutes! We're all waiting for you to come to dinner! What in the name of the universe has kept you? Hmmmm? Well? I'm waiting for an answer! O well, come on, your dinner will get cold!" With that said all in one breath, Sally grabbed Wufei's arm and proceeded to drag him all the way to the dining area.
When they entered the room, all the other pilots were already seated at the table and were chatting softly. At least, Duo was chatting, Heero just said 'Hn', Trowa nodded, and Quatre got in a comment or two when the American had to come up for air. Nothing had changed.
~Baby, you're unhappy
going your own way~
When the other pilots caught sight of Sally dragging Wufei into the room, there was a very uncomfortable moment of silence where Duo's face paled ever so slightly, before he put on a humongous grin and gestured for them to sit down before he began talking again. To Wufei, the smile seemed fake, and forced. The other pilots reactions to Wufei being dragged by a woman were less upseting; Heero said 'Hn', Trowa nodded, and Quatre gave a sad, but warm smile.
Wufei saw Duo's face pale, and stared down at his shoes, suddenly ashamed of himself. He felt horrible for some reason. 'He's probably just mad that I left him...it's not like he loved me...so why do I feel bad?'
Finally, everyone was present, and Quatre had one of the Maguanacs bring out dinner. Or rather, he tried to get it himself, but they made him stay in his chair, and offered to get dinner for everyone. Quatre just shook his head, and gave up. Sally noticed the tall pilot next to him smile and give the blond boy a loving look that he didn't seem to catch. 'Hmmmm...I'll have to talk to Quatre later about Trowa...'
Sally smiled at the pilots, and began trying to engage any of them in conversation. However, when ever she began talking to one of them, she saw the pilot glance at Duo (who was currently just picking at his food and staring at the table), and then turn back to her, and just smile and nod, never saying anything. Finally, she decided to talk to Duo.
"So, Duo, you pilot Deathscythe, right?"
Duo glanced up, and Sally had to keep herself from gasping at the pain she saw there. But then, her gaze saw his mouth, and she realized he was trying his hardest to smile and be pleasant. His eyes begged her not to say anything about what she saw, and she complied, merely waiting for him to answer her question.
~Just come back to papa.
Please baby, baby won't you stay?~
"Yes, that's right, I do. It's a great piece of machinery, finely built. It's a shame that something so beautifully crafted has to create such destruction. If everyone will excuse me, I'm feeling tired, so I'm just going to head to bed now. Good night, everyone." And with his last comment, Duo got up and left the room. Everyone watched in surprise as Duo, who usually ate plates twice his size, left his food untouched at the table.
As soon as the braided pilot left the room, Sally turned her probing gaze to Wufei. He refused to meet her eyes, instead copying Duo and just stared at the table while picking at his food. She knew that Wufei and Duo had had some sort of relationship before she had met him, but he had never told her exactly what had happened, and she had never felt comfortable asking. But this? This made her wonder what exactly had happened between the two young pilots so many months before.
*~*~*
Sally was feeling very bored, and was exploring the station, when she came
upon Quatre. He was walking along a hall, trailing his small hand along
the wall and humming, when he caught sight of her.
"Why, Sally, hello! Nice to finally be able to talk to you!" he said,
reaching out his hand to shake hers. Sally saw the friendly look in his
eyes, and immediatly warmed to the slight blond.
"Quatre, I need to ask you something."
"Yes?"
"What exactly happened between Duo and Wufei?"
~If you really love me Quatre looked at her for a moment with sad eyes. After searching her face
for a moment, he replied in a lower voice, "First, I must know something.
What is your relationship with Wufei?"
Sally, looking confused, replied, "Friendship. I met him half a year ago,
on one of my missions against OZ. He saved my life, and in return, I
offered him a place to stay. He agreed, and we have become friends over
the months. Then he recieved his mission to come to this station, and
since I wanted to meet all of you, I came along."
Quatre eyed her with what she thought as a questionly gaze and said, "You
two were never romantically involved?"
"No, never."
Eyes widening, Quatre said in an excited voice, "Then Duo has a chance!
This is wonderful! Come with me, and I'll tell you. But only if you agree
to help me with a huge favor to Duo." When she nodded, he grabbed her
hand, and dragged her to his room, smiling and bouncing the whole way.
~I cant think *~*~*~*~*
Ya know what I think I should do? I think I should spend a week on the
next part, and make it super long, but just finish the series. Or maybe
spend a week on two more parts, and finish it. Hmmmmm...whadya think? I
know that I'm definitly gonna put in one or two lemons in there, probably
two. Maybe I'll do one per part....hmmmm...
then why are you leaving me?~
think about this crazy day.
I can only
just day dream about you, Babe...~
