Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Thin Line Between Love and Death ❯ Chapter 4 ( Chapter 4 )

'Thought'

"Talking"

*Sounds*

 

~Last Chapter~

 

Duo kept up his pace until he ran right into something hard and unmovable. Then bounced on his ass.

 

~Chapter 4~

 

“He…..Heero. I'm so sorry! I didn't… I didn't mean to run into you” said Duo

 

“Baka, watch where your going next time” said Heero

 

“Yeah, yeah, sure thing buddy” said Duo giving Heero his trademark grin

 

“DUO! Your safe!” said Quatre

 

“Yeah man, of course!” said Duo

 

“Your ok right?” asked Quatre

 

“Of course!” said Duo

 

“SHUT YOUR MOUTH!” said Heero

 

Duo and Quatre stopped talking and just stared at Heero.

 

“Let's move” said Wufei

 

All the pilots gathered their stuff and proceeded to the next meet up point where they would get a ride to the safe house.

 

`At least I'll have time to think' thought Duo making sure that he kept pace with the others

 

`It was just my fucking luck that I always hear that bastard when I can't act. The first time that I get my hands on him he is going to die a slow death from Shinigami himself'

 

Duo looked up to make sure that he was on the track with the guys and realized he had slowed down some.

 

`Shit! If I don't keep up with the guys then they'll know something's wrong'

Duo turned his mind back to the trail and decided he'd figure out something later when he could spare the attention.

 

 

 

The trip to the meet up point was less then exciting. They all made it on time and they only ran into one group of OZ soldiers that Wufei took care of.

 

~Safe house~

 

“Well this is a nice place. By the looks of it not even the rats would stay here” said Duo

 

The safe house they were currently going to be staying in was very rundown to say the least. The front porch was falling apart and the steps to get in looked like they had seen better days, maybe 1,000 years ago.

 

Walking into the house was a mission in itself. One wrong step and the whole porch looked like it was going to fall down. Quatre almost broke his ankle just going up the steps when one crumbled on him.

 

“Shit! That was close” said Quatre

 

“How's the ankle?” asked Duo

 

“Think I just sprained it” said Quatre

 

“I'll look at it inside” said Trowa

 

All five pilots made it into the house without any further mishaps.

 

Heero opened the front door and surveyed the house. The front room when you first walked in was in a little bit better shape then the porch but not by much. It did not look like it would fall down if you sneezed but it was getting that way.

 

There was a couch that looked like it might be useable to sit on. There was also what looked like a seat and some sort of entertainment system.

 

Upon further inspection of the house there was a kitchen that when it turned on sounded like a rocket about ready to explode. Instead of giving water it gave the foulest smelling slime that should have eyes looking back at you. There was a second floor with steps that were in better shape then the front porch was.

 

On the second floor there was a bathroom that also gave slime water and two bedrooms down the end of the hall.

 

“Well it's not the worst place that I've been in” said Duo

“You are kidding, right?” asked Quatre

 

“No, on the streets you see the worst and the best places. With a little elbow grease I could have the water back to clear and maybe even some of the other things in this house working” said Duo

 

“You know how to do that?” asked Quatre

 

“No, but there's a first for everything” said Duo with a smile

 

“Let's go look at that ankle” said Trowa

 

Trowa and Quatre left Heero, Wufei and Duo to try and fix what they could before the sun set and they lost all of their light.

 

 

 

~Later that night~

 

All of the pilots were in the front room eating something that Quatre had made. It resembled the ration packs that they all got but it tasted like the slime water looked.

 

“Duo, how can you eat this stuff?” asked Wufei

 

“Well, you either eat when you can or you die of starvation on the streets” said Duo

 

“How can someone live like that?” asked Quatre

 

“I didn't do it by choice. I was never given a choice. Sometimes in life you have to take what you're given and run with it” said Duo

 

Quatre blushed all the way from his toes to the roots of his hair. “Sorry I didn't mean to say that out loud”

 

“It's ok” said Duo

 

“Let's go up and head to bed. You need to rest your ankle if you want it getting better” said Trowa to Quatre

 

“Ok” said Quatre

 

Trowa and Quatre headed up to their room. The other pilots stayed behind and did their own thing before heading up to bed. Heero was reading something on his laptop, Wufei was reading a book that looked like it was in Chinese and Duo was still thinking about the soldier with that voice he was coming to know so well.
