tanuki02 asked for her drabble to have references to the three movies she guessed Star Wars, PotC, and Howl's Moving Castle. I tried!
I think I was influenced today... but I did get it to drabbleish length! *grin*
Drabble 22
Heero looked up from his computer as his partner stomped into the office. His eyes widened.
"Duo? What happen-"
"Not a word. Yuy. Not one word."
"But your hair-"
Duo growled. "It's hideous. I know. Shut up."
Heero tactfully gave Duo a moment to throw himself into his chair and curse for a few minutes.
"So, how did the mission go?" He tried when Duo seemed to wind down a little.
Duo yanked on the end of his braid and glared at Heero. "How do you think it went, Yuy? It went bad right from the beginning. The only car available was that Ford P.O.S.-"
"You took that on the mission?"
"We had a choice?"
"I guess not. Still, you're braver than I thought."
"It got us inside okay- but then the plans weren't anywhere in the system."
"But the intel-"
"The intel was wrong. The boss had taken them with him. So we had to go track him down in the district- and since we'd already been in the building, Wufei suggested disguises."
"That's when your hair...?"
"Wufei bought permanent instead of wash out."
Heero spared a moment of pity for Wufei. "You got through the district okay?"
Duo shrugged. "Well enough. Got the plans anyway."
"Une must be pleased. Where's Wufei?" Heero wondered if he was hiding from Duo.
"I'm not sure. I lost track of him in The Heat."
Heero's eyebrows rose at the mention of the notorious club. "What where you two doing there?"
"Looking for the guy with the plans. He was in there too- course he was kind of busy- and he did leave his jacket unattended."
"So you got the plans- and Wufei...?"
"Some girl grabbed him when we walked through the door. She said something about him deserving some kind of special attention."
Heero choked. "And so you just left him?"
"I didn't want to cause a scene. We're not supposed to draw attention to ourselves. It was easier to just step back and let him deal with it."
"But you aren't supposed to leave your partner behind. It's in the rules!"
"It's really more of a guideline and you know it." Duo frowned balefully at his bangs. "Besides, you should've heard him laugh when he saw my hair. He deserved to be left. It might be good for him, you never know."
Heero took a deep breath. "Duo, your hair is not that bad."
"It's hideous and you know it. I'm never going to get a date looking like this."
"Duo, you could shave your head and get a date. Don't be stupid. You just look a little... goth now, that's all."
"Is that bad?" Duo leaned over the desk.
"I just said it wasn't."
"So you don't think I'm hideous?"
"No I don't."
"So, even with my hair this color, you'd go out with me?"
"Sure-" Heero stopped. What had he just said?
Duo grinned triumphantly. "Good. I'll pick you up at 8."
