"Whoa! Heero! Didn’t see ya there!" Duo yelped out and then grinned as he tried to step around the Japanese pilot. Heero looked at him coldly and nodded towards the closed door. "What are you doing, Duo?" he asked coldly as the American followed his gaze guiltily. Turning back to face Heero, Duo flashed his amiable grin, turned, and walked out the front door, not answering Heero’s question. Heero turned back to the room and, after pondering for a couple of minutes if he should go in, decided against it and went back to his computer to finish his report. A couple of hours later, the other three pilots had returned and were helping Heero make dinner. As they cooked or set the table, they shared a companionable silence. Quatre looked around curiously as he finished up the dessert and then looked at Heero. "Did Duo get back yet?" he asked, worried. Heero grunted and nodded an affirmative, but said nothing else. Quatre looked worriedly at Trowa, who smiled softly and continued to set the table with Wufei. They all sat down at the table and began to eat. Just then, Duo came into the safehouse and walked past the kitchen loaded down with strange boxes. He glanced into the room and nodded at Quatre, who got up to help him, curious. They went to the room that Duo and Heero shared while the other three watched them, bemused. Heero began to eat again and Trowa and Wufei followed suit. Then, Quatre walked in quickly and grabbed Trowa’s arm and dragged him out of the room. Wufei and Heero watched them leave, confused. What was going on? Shortly, they heard giggling and laughter coming from the other room and the curiosity got the best of them. Getting up and leaving their unfinished dinner, they went to investigate the strange noises. When they got to the room, they saw a very curious sight. Trowa and Quatre were sitting on the floor, while Duo was lying on his bed, hanging somewhat off the side. And on the bed next to the giggling braided boy was a little orange and white striped kitten. The kitten was looking intently at the fingers that Duo was wiggling on the bed. Slowly, it moved forward and then, after wiggling its butt, pounced on the fingers. Duo laughed and was joined by Quatre. Trowa just grinned as he watched the little kitten try to catch the fingers again. Wufei snorted and the three pilots looked up startled. "Oi! Heero! Wufei! How long you been standing there?" Duo said after picking up the little ball of fur and getting up. Wufei shook his head and, when he looked back up, found a pair of light blue feline eyes looking into his own dark eyes. Duo grinned and said, "Wufei, I’d like you to meet Socks. Socks, meet the Wu-man." Wufei and Socks looked at each other and then a single white paw came up and batted lightly at Wufei’s nose. Quatre snorted with suppressed laughter and even Trowa giggled. Duo smirked and watched as Wufei grinned and then gently reached to scratch behind the playful kitten’s ear. The kitten began to purr loudly and leaned into the gentle caress, causing the Chinese boy to grin. Duo then moved to stand in front of the stoic Wing pilot and put Socks eye level with Heero. Heero and Socks looked at each other and, just as Duo opened his mouth to repeat the introduction process, Heero grunted and walked out of the room. Duo frowned in disappointment as he and the other pilots watched Heero walk out. Heero went back to the kitchen and cleaned up the dinner table, putting the extra food away and washing the dishes. He then went back to his laptop and saw that he had another mission. He sent his confirmation and then began to download the information that he would need for the mission. After a while, he began to hear laughter and curiosity got the best of him once more. Getting up and stretching slightly, he went down the hall to the room he knew they were in. Standing so he was out of sight, he watched the amusing sight that met him. Duo was on the ground, facing the little kitten. Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre were all sitting on both beds, watching as Duo slowly moved his head back and forth, taunting the kitten. Socks watched, pupils’ wide and tiny body tense, as it waited for the perfect time to strike. Then, it crouched and wiggled its butt and then pounced on Duo’s head. Duo yelped and hid his face and wiggled his head to make the kitten attack him more. The kitten clawed and bit at the moving target and then pounced on another target: Duo’s braid. Socks grabbed the braid and began to chew and then pull it with him as he tried to walk away with it. The three watching pilots were laughing so hard at Duo’s predicament that tears were flowing down their faces. Duo was yelping and acting like he was in trouble as the little kitten tried to drag his braid over to Trowa, who had sat down on the floor. Trowa grinned again and began to move his fingers on the floor, catching the kitten’s attention. He dropped Duo’s braid and stalked Trowa’s fingers. He then pounced and was grabbed up by the green-eyed pilot to be pet and caressed. The kitten batted at Trowa’s bangs and then began to purr as Trowa scratched under his chin. The three other pilots grinned as they saw the kitten fall asleep. Shaking his head, Heero left the scene and got ready for bed. When he went into the living room to shut down his laptop, he heard the other pilots get ready for bed. Once finished, he went to bed. The next day, Heero woke up before dawn to get ready for his mission. He tried to flip onto his back, but found that there was a lump at the small of his back. Bringing his hand out and around, he felt along and met soft fur. The kitten? What was it doing here? he found himself wondering as he carefully moved so that he could get up without waking the sleeping furball. Why he was being so careful, he didn’t know, but that wasn’t important. After washing up and getting changed, Heero went to the kitchen to get some breakfast. He was just cooking up some eggs and bacon when he felt something soft rub against his leg. Looking down, surprised, his questing eyes met clear blues eyes that looked at him adoringly. He grunted and then, after finding the kitten’s food and water bowl, filled them with food and water. He watched the kitten eat for a minute and then went back to getting his own food. As he ate, he studied the information that he had downloaded the previous night. Suddenly, he felt something jump onto his lap. Looking down, he found the kitten sitting down and begins to clean himself. Heero watched, perplexed as the kitten delicately licked its paw and clean behind it’s ears. Heero shook his head, but didn’t remove the little furball. Soon, he got up carefully and, after placing the kitten on the chair he had just left, went out to complete his mission. Five hours later, Heero came home from his mission to an empty safehouse. The other pilots all either had missions or were out doing errands. So, that meant he had the house to himself. Heero went into the living room and booted up his laptop. He began to write up his report after he got something to drink. He was just finishing up the last bit of his report when a certain furball jumped into his lap. Cobalt blue eyes met sky blue eyes. Heero and Socks looked at each other for a few minutes and then Socks did something that took Heero by surprise. Standing up on its hind legs, Socks moved so that they were eye to eye and then leaned in. He then gently rubbed his little head against Heero’s face and licked Heero’s cheek. Heero let the kitten do this, confused and unsure. Socks then sat down gently on Heero’s lap and just gazed at Heero. Heero looked at the kitten and then smiled. The kitten began to purr and flex his paws as they looked at each other. Heero then lifted up a finger and scratched behind the little one’s ear, smiling again as the kitten leaned into the caress. Then the kitten began to play with the proffered digit and Heero laughed softly. Quickly, Heero finished his report and then began to play with the kitten. They played for an hour and then, exhausted, Heero laid down on the couch. The kitten jumped up and, after circling a couple of times, curled itself around Heero’s neck. The combination of a long mission and the kitten’s purring soon sent the Perfect Soldier to sleep. An hour later, Quatre and Duo came back to the safehouse, groceries in their arms. They went in and were just passing the living room. Duo looked in and stopped at the sight that greeted him. Heero was on the couch, asleep, with the kitten wrapped around his neck. The kitten’s head was lying on Heero’s cheek and, as Duo crept quietly in, lifted to look at Duo. Duo smiled softly and pet the kitten gently on the head, causing it to lay back against Heero’s cheek. Looking around, Duo found a blanket and covered Heero with it. Just as Duo was turning to leave, Heero shifted in his sleep and smiled. Smiling again, Duo left, thinking, So, love can change people.
