diSClaiMErs: Gundam Wing and the characters that I will be using are not my property. I’m using them merely for pleasure and, of course, to share the lu~rve. :3
Notes: Sorry, guys. Commodore Wilkins shall not make an appearance in this one. It's an entirely new set. Still, I hope you'll like it!


1. It is an undeniable fact that the 'Agents Yuy and Maxwell Dynamic' is probably one of the most perplexing partnerships in the Preventers' entire organization; the evidence is right in front of their eyes- Duo Maxwell was currently locked under Heero Yuy's patented head-lock for having stolen the latter's last paper clip.

2. They were all willing to bet that the esteemed Commander Une might have been stoned when she assigned that particular partnership, although they'd never dare to even /think/ it aloud.

3. It perplexes the lot of them to no end, really, how Agents Yuy and Maxwell could refrain from killing each other when all they ever do is to bicker like kindergarten pupils fighting for Sandbox Supremacy all the damned time.

4. They haven't been speaking to each other since this morning, and a reliable source (Agent Chang) explained to the water-cooler-gossipers that the instigator of newest Yuy-Maxwell War was an innocent bottle of super-glue.

5. The tension in the cafeteria was so thick as all eyes turned to the two warring partners on the table, Quatre was sure he could probably yodel like a retard and nobody'd notice; Heero and Duo were apparently engaged in a glaring match over the last remaining piece of cinnamon roll.

6. Heero wished he stayed away from Duo's cherry tootsie pop as he struggled to get free from the slighted man's leg-lock; really, how the hell was he supposed to know it was the last one?

7. On rare days where Wu Fei would deem Heero and Duo's antics as amusing, he couldn't help but think that the Preventers' Headquarters is just a local school in disguise, with Une as the stern principal constantly sending Heero Yuy and Duo Maxwell off to detention.

8. Duo hated paperwork, but Une made him do it until 'he learns how to cease the constant disturbances he and his partner were always causing, and behave like an esteemed Preventer'; damn Yuy for stealing his cherry tootsie pop, in the first place!

9. Heero never felt humiliated in his entire life, and it was all because of Duo; he was supposed to be the perfect soldier, the ultimate war hero, the man deemed as a 'well-oiled machine geared for the accomplishment of any given mission', and now he's demoted to being a paper pusher, all because of an effin' cherry tootsie pop.

10. After getting apprehended for getting into a messy brawl with Maxwell again - this time over Heero's secret stash of strawberry pocky - Principal- er- Commander Une finally gave them an ultimatum: cease to act like grown men regressing into their second childhood, or she'd split them up.

11. Though Wu Fei would agree that Une's ultimatum had worked - the HQ is now clear of brawling men, crackling atmospheres and flying staplers-, he privately thought that nobody really had the right to stop his friends from desperately re-claiming the childhood war has cruelly taken from them.

12. When Une pounded the proverbial gavel, Heero couldn't help but feel something cold run across his veins at the thought of being separated from his partner; suddenly he couldn't breathe, and his heart ceased to function for a few precious seconds before Duo went ahead and made everything all right when he squeezed his shoulder in some solid gesture of assurance.

13. The others were extremely shocked upon seeing Heero Yuy offering his cinammon roll to Duo Maxwell during lunch, but Quatre, Trowa, and Wu Fei only smiled, knowing that such scenarios are not rare at all, despite what other people think of.

14. They might have been nuicances within the walls of the HQ, nevertheless, Une can't help but think that the Yuy-Maxwell Dynamic is, by far, the best team on her payroll, as she watched them slither across the target's base like a well-oiled machine.

15. They almost made it through the mission without any scratch whatsoever, but Murphy's Law decided to rear its ugly head after one unprecedented shoot-out; two agents are down, five were severely injured... one of whom was Heero Yuy.

16. Sure, when Heero accidentally poured coffee on his latest issue of Good-Boy yaoi manga, Duo told the guy to crawl in a hole and die, but he would never /ever/ wish for that to really happen, because without Heero Yuy, Duo knew that he would be reduced to /nothing/.

17. Duo couldn't remember when their friends had arrived, but he was thankful for Quatre's firm one-armed embrace from his right, and Trowa's warm grip on his left hand; he even treasured Wu Fei's tea, even if it tasted like molten felt paper on his tongue.

18. When the Quatre suddenly doubled over two hours after Heero was sent into the operating room, Duo wasn't sure if he was more concerned for the pale-faced Quatre whose face was contorted in excruciating pain, or Heero, whose pain was undoubtedly the one Quatre had caught with his space heart.

19. When the doctor told them that Heero coded thrice during his operation, Duo felt something warm and wet trickle through the plains of his cheek; he also felt as if his own heart has stopped beating.

20. "Calm down, Duo, breathe," Wu Fei had to tell the ashen-faced man who looked as if he himself was ready to die the moment they tell him Heero wouldn't be able to make it.

21. Trowa has faced death a thousand times over, but looking at Duo gasp for breath at the mere mention of Heero coding three times, Trowa believed that it was the first time he was ever scared of it; he just wasn't sure if it was for Duo, whose world would crumble without his partner, or Heero, who was still valiantly fighting for his life.

22. Duo thought that the most beautiful thing he has ever heard in his life were the words, "He's OK now."
