else, please ask. Disclaimer: Duo and Heero and the rest of the GW gang aren't mine. This story is. Nuff said. Notes: The arc begins between one and two years after Endless Waltz. Duo POV in this story. 'Thinking' "Speaking" ************ Time passing or scene change Author's Notes: This is the first in an arc of stories. I don't know for sure how many stories there will be or how often I'll be posting them. The length of each story in the arc will vary, anywhere from ficlet to multi-part. Warnings will vary from story to story as well, as will the genre. Pairings will probably eventually make their way in, but it will be quite a while since the first half dozen or so stories are drafted out and there's no real indication of pairings in them as of yet. Feedback is appreciated.
Not a Particularly Pleasant Experience Arc fic 19
Before Duo could decide whether or not to go knock on
the door, it opened. Heero exited the room first, looking somewhat
tense, followed by Hilde. Who wouldn't look him in the eye. 'Fuck.
What did she say to "Heero?" Duo said questioningly. Heero shook his head in a clear signal to let it go for now. "We need to get going, Duo. We have to drop these papers off at the courier service on the way home." "O-o-k-a-ay..." Duo answered, gaze darting back and forth between his two friends.

Duo didn't know quite what to think of Heero's explanation, but he knew just what to do in answer to that final statement. As his arms closed around Heero and he felt the iron tension of Heero's muscles, he realized that the statement that it was not "a particularly pleasant experience" was obviously somewhat of an understatement. But it didn't take very long for the tension to drain away under the influence of the hug, so things couldn't have gotten *too* ugly. He hoped. ################################################# |
