She wasn't like the other pilots, he noted with interest. For one, they
hadn't a clue where she came from. Well, she knew, and it seemed like a
few of the ol' Doc five - more commonly referred to as 'the mad five'
or 'those old geezer-folk' - had something of an idea. Her body was
built in a manner similar to Heero's - hard muscle disguised by a slim
physique - with a few more curves.
In all the right places.
She
didn't have Heero's detachment from the world, however, nor his playful
mannerisms. There were times when she could give Trowa a run for his
money in the silent department, but she'd consider it beneath her to
let someone - even someone she trusted - throw sharp metal objects at
her while she was dressed in a ridiculous suit. Quatre took the blame
of everything into himself, while she shoved it out on others when they
deserved it. Wufei would spew injustice for hours...while she gave it
hardly a half-hour of her time.
She coughed, interrupting his thoughts. "Rae?" he called. "You okay?"
"Sure
thing, Duo!" she answered, her voice echoing around the hall from the
kitchen. "Just a bit of dust! The pizza's on it's way; give it another
hour before you call them back - it is Friday night, remember!"
"Yeah,
yeah," he muttered. It was always something like that... 'just a bit of
dust,' 'sinuses are acting up today,' 'just a bit of a sniffle, really,
nothing serious,' or one of the other myriad of excuses. Rae was always
coughing.
A few minutes later she joined Duo on the couch, just
before the seven o'clock news started. "So when are the others stopping
by?" she asked.
"They aren't,'' he answered with a smile. "Care to make use of the time to ourselves?"
Rae
playfully swatted the hand that wandered toward the hem of her shirt. "Good Catholic Girls don't mess with Bad Braided Boys."
"Ah...but you're not a Good Catholic Girl, are you?"
Rae smirked. "I am until after the news and our pizza-and-a-movie. Now be good boy, and maybe you'll get a treat later."
Duo's grin widened.
THE END.
