Part 18
Trowa walked into the apartment he shared with Wufei.
Wufei sat in the middle of the dining table doing curls.
"Bad news, Wufei," said Trowa, heading for his favorite chair. "And will you get your reptilian rump off the table; people eat on that table, you know."
"Imagine that," muttered Wufei. "I use a plate." He looked at his friend slumped in a chair. "What bad news?"
Trowa sighed. "Duo."
Wufei dropped the curl bar. It hit the floor with a muffled thud. He swung around on his butt and slid across the table and onto the floor.
"What happened to Duo? Something on his mission? Did he get hurt? Is he all right?" He loomed over Trowa anxiously. "What's wrong?!"
"Heero took him flying today."
Wufei's face crumpled. "Shit!"
He collapsed on the floor and began banging his head against Trowa's chair.
"Already? You're sure?"
"Yeah," replied Trowa listlessly. "I saw them myself."
"Well, we're screwed now..."
Trowa leaned over to glare at him. "We wouldn't have this problem if you were just --"
"Hey! That's not my fault! I am what I am! Might as well ask why you aren't a tiger or a leopard!"
Trowa grumbled, letting his head fall back against the chair. "He really seemed like he liked us..."
"Yeah..."
"Damn..."
