In The Bedroom: Night 16

"Morning Heero."

"Hn."

Duo studied the straight back, the focussed gaze, the beeping laptop and knew. Mission. Something in him slumped even as his heart began to race, wanting something. Something more.

"Where?"

"Nairobi."

"I'm coming."

"Hn."

"Mm."

Duo glared at the back of Heero's head, wondering, not for the first time, if there really was anything other than the mission within. Sometimes it seemed there was, desperately trying to claw its way free, but it was gone with the following heartbeat, and to all it seemed forgotten. Duo didn't fight for living things.

The cross felt heavy about his neck, as if pulling against him, struggling to be free of him. As if speaking to him. But Duo didn't understand objects.

Duo only knew people. Dead people.

"I'm going to meet more people tonight."

"Hn."

Duo shook his head and laughed.
