Night Walkers "Hey, Kitty Kat. I heard you wanted to see me?" Duo had definitely looked better. He would put aside the lengthy chat he had had with Milliardo; he would need to consider carefully what had been revealed, do some research… and then, when he was sure of the facts, he would decide how best to act. For now he simply wanted to ensure his friend was well. There were dark circles under Duo's eyes and he looked flushed against the white pillows propping him up, but for all of that there was something in those blue eyes… a shine, a glint, that spoke of an indomitable spirit. "What have you done to yourself?" Trowa was a dark and silent shadow at Quatre's back and was it his imagination or did Trowa look… disturbed? Not exactly upset, not put out but… disturbed. And Quatre too. "Silly thing. Took a tumble from the stairs. No biggy. It's nothing a few days won't cure, which is good because I'm supposed to inspect the construction site at the end of the week. Doc put the shoulder back in place and said it will be fine, just don't do anything silly for a few days. Since I don't have to go blow things up any more, I decided to actually rest up." "But you are in bed! You never stay in bed voluntarily." Well that was the truth, Duo mused, and he would have to wiggle out of this one on his own. Sexy Zechsy and Chang were covering for him and he did not want Quatre to know his idiocy. They were friends but some things he just did not want bantered about. "Yeah, well… You know Chang. He's a bit of a surly dragon and when the doc said I was to stay in bed, he took it upon himself to see that I do. Can't say that its not nice getting pampered… and he's not so grumpy at the moment. I'll enjoy it for today and tomorrow I'll just sort of… well, you know. When he's not looking." Duo flashed his cheeky grin, eyes shining. "What he doesn't know won't hurt me." "Duo!" Quatre settled on the side of the bed. "What were you doing up in the middle of the night to fall down the stairs anyway?" The smile and shine in his eyes were gone in an instant and Duo ducked his head before he seemed to pull in on himself and after a moment he relaxed. "Don't sleep all that well, you know, Quatre? Some nights… its just easier to go for a wander. There's a kitchen the cook reserves for us night walkers… and yeah, its more than me. Sometimes if we are wandering around at the same time we'll have tea and coffee together. We talk about loads of things. Sort of gets our minds off the nightmares and usually we can get back to sleep after a while." ~ * ~ |
