lavandarlizard2 | Fridays are a beautiful thing.... O.O

I know; it's short. *sigh* Breaking down a one-shot into postable parts is a pain. The natural breaks in this particular one are few and far between. For anyone who happens to be collecting these little bits, I will post the whole thing once it's finished. >_> Um... That's assuming LJ lets me. O.o

No whine this time; look for that around the 26th, at which point I will be contemplating whether I can live in my truck. =p

"Tired?" asked Wufei.

Duo nodded. "Kinda hurts, too," he admitted reluctantly.

Wufei blinked. It would have to be considerably more than “kinda” hurting for Duo to admit to pain. He poked the call button. "I think you need another pill."

"Nah... It can wait until Heero gets here."

Wufei frowned at the door. "It may take that long to get anyone's attention," he muttered. "Don't these people care that patients may need them?" He got to his feet slowly and limped to the door, opened it and peered out, then shut it almost immediately.

Duo noticed. "What's wrong?" he growled.

"I can see the elevators from here; they're full of media. Security and what looks like every nurse on the floor are holding them off." He pulled out his phone again.

Duo slumped back with a groan. "Vultures, dammit," he muttered.

"Une? Chang. I'm with Maxwell at the hospital. The media are trying to swarm our floor. Security is losing ground and Yuy is on his way up. I think we need backup before he gets here or PR will have some 'splainin' to do. Floor six; thanks." He closed his phone and smirked at Duo. "Une is sending in the hounds."

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!"

Wufei blinked; Duo snorted.

"Hmm... Apparently not quickly enough," murmured Wufei, once again peering out the door.

"GET OFF THIS FLOOR, OUT OF THOSE ELEVATORS AND OUT OF THIS HOSPITAL! NOW!!!"

Wufei turned to grin at Duo, whose eyes were the size of saucers. "Honeeeey; he's hoooome."
