“Good God.” Heero stared at Duo. “I’ve heard of snakes dislocating their jaw to swallow a rabbit, but I’ve never seen one eating pizza.” Duo curled his lip at him. It had a smear of tomato paste on it. “The menu said as many toppings as you like,” he mumbled. At least, Heero thought that’s what he said. “Authentic New York experience,” he added, spraying crumbs over the table top. “Right.” Heero took a bite of his more modest lunch. “So what’s left on our tourist checklist?” “Huh?” Duo looked puzzled. “You’ve been in charge of getting us around the city today,” explained Heero. “You’ve been so businesslike, I assumed you had some mental clipboard with a list for us to work through.” Duo was staring at him. Heero continued, regardless, “Subway to the ferry, do the Battery Park and Statue of Liberty thing; subway trip, do the Wall Street thing; subway trip, do the Central Park thing; jog across the Park, do the Metropolitan Museum thing -” He paused to take breath, at which point Duo clapped a hand over his mouth. It was still sticky from the garlic bread appetiser. “Shit, Heero, you sound like I’ve been frog-marching you all over town.” He sounded angry, but his expression seemed… distraught. “Am I ruining your trip?” Heero removed the garlicky hand and took a reviving draught of soda. “I was teasing you.” Duo stopped chewing. His pizza slice drooped limply from his hand: a disc of pepperoni dropped back on to the plate. “Huh?” Heero wasn’t sure whether to worry. “I didn’t mean to upset you. I like the way you’ve organised it – the fact that we’ll get to see everything, in a limited time.” Duo was frowning. Another disc of pepperoni fell silently to its culinary death. Heero’s heartbeat was quickening with panic. “Listen, I’m happy with it all – with you as tour guide – with the timed visits. I mean, I know I’m usually the one to plan our trips, but this has been great.” He peered at Duo’s wide, glazed eyes. “Say something, will you? I know I don’t always get the humour thing quite right -” “The humour thing?” Duo broke in. He dropped the rest of his pizza slice down on to his plate. His tone was rather cold and clear of all food distractions. Heero despaired. “Look,” he started to say. “I’m sorry-” Duo interrupted, repeating, “The humour thing? Is that the same as the Times Square thing, and the Fifth Avenue thing, and the Nintendo World thing?” “Not that.” Heero groaned at the thought of an hour watching Duo wave a Wii controller around an imaginary universe with embarrassing enthusiasm. “Do we have to -?” And then he registered the fact that Duo was grinning. Very broadly. “Now I’m teasing,” Duo laughed. “You should see your face!” Heero was torn between laughing back and swiping him with the remains of his cheese pizza. ~ * ~
