“…” Talking
‘…’ Thoughts


While gasping for air, he sits straight up in his bed. With both hands placed on his chest, he tries to calm himself down. He looks around and only sees darkness.

The black void of light causes his skin to crawl. After throwing the blanket off of his body, he runs his hands over his skin in order to quiet his anxiety. He stops when he realizes he is in the room with someone else. A strong wave of dizziness hits him as he slowly slides out of bed.

Walking seemed like an impossible task as he crawls for the bathroom. His mind replays disturbing events in his head as he struggles to reach the toilet in the dark. Gripping the cold porcelain he heaves the contents of his stomach. The dry retches cause tears to fall down his cheeks. He curses at himself mentally for not being able to control his own bodily reactions.

After what seemed like hours, he flushed the toilet and picked himself up off the cold tile floor. He closed the door and turned on the lights. With both hands on the side of the small sink, he looks into the mirror.

‘Was it just a nightmare? Heero would never do something like that to me.’ Wufei looked at his clothes. He took them off and turned on the shower. He got into the shower and let the hot water sting into his flesh as he checked his body thoroughly.

It felt good to wipe away the remnants of the nightmare. The soap seem to sooth his skin as he lathered up. While he was rinsing, the shower walls started to turn red. He jumped out of the shower causing the floor to get all wet. When he reopened the shower curtain the walls were white.

‘I guess this is what happens after you drink. I am never doing that again.’ He turned off the shower and toweled himself off. After wrapping the towel around his waist, he looked into the mirror again. ‘Why would I have a dream like that? Why did it feel so real? I would know if someone did that to me.’ He ran his fingers over his neck. ‘I would have bruising here if it did happen.’

After brushing his teeth, he narrowed his eyes at his pale reflection in the small mirror. With a sigh, Wufei exited the bathroom. Still a little shaken by his dream, he walks towards Heero and looks down on the sleeping solider.

Heero slowly cracks open one eye and says, “Are you okay?”

“Yes I am fine. Just a little queasy.”

“Yeah, you drank way to much.”

Wufei walked to his bed and grabbed a brush off the night stand. “Yeah, well I think you gave me to much to drink. If I remember correctly, you were pretty drunk too.” Wufei watched as Heero got out of bed and went to the bathroom. The sound of urine hitting the water inside the toilet made Wufei feel nausea. “You know, you could close the door when you go to the bathroom.”

The only response Heero gave was a grunt as he flushed the toilet. After washing his hands, he exited the bathroom and closed the door. “Is that better?”

Wufei huffed at him and went in search for a rubber band in his bag. Putting the rubber band around his wrist, he picked up the hair brush. His hands felt unsteady as he tried to brush his hair back.

After watching Wufei struggle with his hair, Heero walked towards him and extended his hand. “Do you want me to do it for you?”

Wufei put his hands in his lap and looked up at Heero with an intense glare. Heero smirked and sat down on the bed. “I have brushed and braided Duo’s hair before.” He took the brush out of Wufei’s hands. “I am certain I can put yours in a ponytail.”

Wufei’s body tensed as Heero started to brush his ebony strands. The Japanese pilot’s gentleness caused Wufei to relax.

Heero’s thoughts screamed in his head as he started to place the rubber band around his comrade’s hair. ‘He smells so good. Damn it! I don’t desire others. I only want Duo.’ He quickly got up when the job was done and headed for his bed.

While he was getting his clothes ready for the day, Wufei thanked him. I guess I can see why Duo likes you so much.” Heero smiled in response before entering into the bathroom. When the door closed behind him, Wufei started to put his clothes on.

Once he was completely dressed, he laid down on the bed and closed his eyes. His thoughts were on Quatre and the dream he had. ‘That dream felt so real. I couldn’t image something like that happening to Quatre. I couldn’t image Heero ever doing something like that to me or anybody else. I wonder if Trowa has found out anything yet.’

“What are you thinking about?” Heero walked out of the bathroom fully dressed and started to pack up all his belongings into his duffle bag.

“About Quatre.” Wufei sat up and began to pack up his items as well. “I want to kill the person responsible for his condition.”

“Did he ever say what happened to him?”

“No, but the doctor informed us that he was sexual assaulted. I don’t know what I would do if something like that ever happened to me. What would you do?”

Wufei’s eyes seem to pierce through his soul as he tried to come up with a response. He made a wordless motion with his mouth and then turned quickly away from Wufei.

His voice was full of concern when he addressed Heero. “What’s wrong?” There was an awkward pause before Wufei continued. “I’m sorry.” He swallowed hard and said, “If you want to talk about anything, I will listen.”

Silence was his only answer. Wufei walked towards Heero, whom seemed to be frozen in time. He placed his hand on Heero’s shoulder and asked, “Did something happen to you?”

He stood straight up and removed Wufei’s hand from his shoulder with his own hand. With a stern face and monotone voice, he turned around and faced Wufei. “I don’t want or need to talk about it. We have a mission. I think we should complete it now.”

Wufei stepped back and nodded his head in understanding. ‘Perfect soldier mode. How the hell does he and Trowa do it?’ Wufei walked back to his bed and packed the reminder of his things into his duffle. Both soldiers checked their watches and walked out of the room.

The mission was an easy infiltration and destroy. They had already infiltrated the base, all that was left was blowing up the armory and the bunkers. The base was a field of chaos as fire units tried to control the fire and explosions that ripped through it.

With the smoke and chaos in the distance, two silent figures walk through the forest. Both in deep contemplation. For two hours they walked in silent thought. As they arrived at the location of their hidden vehicle, they were greeted by a very pissed off Duo Maxwell.
