Where: Haseo's house h33
Summary: After waking up, Duo checks the journal and talks to a few people. It's time for him to explore a bit though. Haseo's been hearing a soft, deep voice, but being slightly off, he assumes that it's just in his head. Kamui joins them later after promising cookies to Duo.
Rating: R (for language, mild violence)
Duo's been holding up in his room, obvserving and trying to find as much information as he can. Boredom sets in though and Duo must explore the house he woke up in. Haseo's near panic since Luke has left him. Haseo searches the house for him. Needless to say, sparks are going to fly when they run into each other.

Haseo'd been in and out of sleep through his writing, eventually, he had dozed off. During this time, it seemed, Luke had wandered to shop.

Of course, given past events, he was in a frenzy. Had he been kidnapped AGAIN? Had he been injured by one of the crazies scattered about this place? Every worst case scenario sprung into his brain as he started roaming the house, searching for him.

Duo, finally feeling that he's gathered more than enough information about the place, decides to check the window. There's nothing really interesting out there so he moves to the door. He opens it slowly before sliding out of the room. He can hear slight rustling like someone moving about. Duo slips slowly through the door, looking for the person.

It wasn't like Haseo ever was off alert. The sound of someone roaming the house made him jump. It was either Alkaid or Luke, he decided as he stood up and approached the sound.

Oh no... but this was no red head. Who the hell WAS this person roaming around? He watched a moment before rushing him and tackling the stranger to the ground, fist looming forebodingly in the air over Duo's head.

"Why the FUCK ARE YOU IN HERE?"

Duo's back slammed into the ground, the pain from his new wings intolerable. Bones ground near to the point of breaking and Duo was sure some of the feathers had been bent the wrong way. Nothing else could feel like that.

Haseo straddled Duo's stomach, pushing him even harder into the floor and making him wince. Duo jerked in an attempt to toss the other boy off, but that made the pain worse. He stilled and looked at his attacker instead. He knew those markings. They were familiar... it was one of the people from the journal. Haseo!

Duo tried to sit up just enough to relieve a little of the pressure on his back and reached up grab Haseo's fist.

"Dammit! How the hell am I supposed to know. I was fucking talking to you 30 seconds ago and now you're trying to break my damn wings. These things are fucking stupid anyway. Get the hell off me!"

"30.. minu--..."

Haseo snapped to attention and looked at the smaller boy who looked pretty pained. A new feather, or whatever they called it. And this one... was named...

"Duo...?" he muttered before retracting his fist and standing up, leaving him on the floor for the moment. "Then... where is...."

Duo groaned as the weight left him and he was able to sit up. He let Haseo's wrist and hand slip from his as the taller boy stood. He moved to flex the wings back out and everything pulled and tightened with pain. He winced again and just let the muscles relax so they hung awkwardly.

"Yeah man. Way to welcome a guy." He groaned and forced himself back up on his feet. Duo tugged his braid and pulled it over his shoulder so it would smack into his wings. His hands moved over the hair, soothing himself and smoothing it. "Where's what? My shirt? Can't wear it."

"No not..." he glanced over, heaved a sigh and leaned back against the wall. He mumbled something about 'really cracking up' and ran a hand through his hair. He knew this guy was right about being a lousy welcome committee but.. it just wasn't a good day to pop up out of no where.

"Sorry... I've got some aspirin if you need some."

Something wasn't right and it was making Duo nervous. He knew this guy, but... at the same time he didn't. Duo shifted around until his feet were spread and braced. He left his hands loose at his sides. He wasn't going to be knocked over again, but he had to figure out what was going on and it didn't look like Haseo was going to jump him again.

"You alright? I know things are tough for ya right now, but you don't look too good." That same feeling that made Duo get close to Heero forced him forward now. He reached out and bumped his fist lightly against Haseo's shoulder. "Really, y'alright? Aspirin would probably be good if it doesn't look like I'm bleeding. These wings are new ta me an all and I don't know for sure what crushing them did."

Haseo breathed out a long sigh and didn't look at the newcomer. "Yeah... I'm fine... maybe I'm still tired." He of course was just trying to dismiss his mental turbulence from showing any further.

"... I.. I better take a look at them then..."

Duo shifted again. Maybe that wasn't his best suggestion since it made him turn his back to an unknown threat. Heero and Wufei would have been in fits and Quatre would most likely scold him for not being nicer to the other guy, but that wasn't Duo's way. He pulled more of his hair over his shoulder, soothing it attempting to tie it up a bit.

"You should take a nap if you've got nothing better ta be doin'. I'm sure I can poke my way through things and keep myself out of too much trouble." He turned and showed his back and crumpled wings to Haseo. "How they look? They certainly hurt like hell, but I wasn't feeling too well anyway. Damn bastards must have worked me over a bit before dropping in here."

Haseo shook his head. "Can't.. there's two people I have to stay up and hope they come back okay.." he replied, looking around as if he would see them walking in, but to no avail. He seemed to sink more against the wall and mutter again.

"Eugh..." he said, cringing at the little ruined wings. "We'll... I'll... for now, I-I can't get you to the clinic so I'll bandage them the best I can for.. for the moment.."

Duo laughed and winced again as it pulled his back and wings. "I'm used to that sorta thing. I'm sure that'll be enough." He grinned over his shoulder. "I'll sit up with you while you wait if that'll help? Or we could go look for them if you think ya know where they might be."

That was when Duo saw the shadows in the other boy's eyes. He wished he could be more like Quatre or even Trowa who could heal with his silence, but Duo's strength was in his ability to talk. "I'm sure they're fine, Haseo. If not, we'll track them down and make things alright."

Duo shook his body and moved his wings under the taller boy's nose. "So were we going to do this? You can concentrate on me for a bit instead of worrying. It'll be good for ya."

"No.. I should stay here for now until I hear news otherwise.." he replied, hunching his shoulders. Oh he was worried but he was stagnant from fear he'd leave and they'd come back to an empty home and worry. His own emotions were really starting to muddle his head.

"The kitchen," he replied, rubbing his nose. "it'll be easier."

"Sure, Has, whatever you feel better doin'." Duo moved past him and brushed a hand down his arm. "It'll be alright." He smiled and walked down the hall and into the common room, his eyes moving over the simple furniture. He moved into the kitchen and waited for Haseo to join him.

Haseo nodded a little, crossing his arms and following him. At least if this was a new roommate, he was a kind one. It was easier that way. He made a detour to the wash room to get medical supplies he hadn't used on Luke yet and brought them to the kitchen. He lay them on the table.

"I'll get water..."

Duo looked over the supplies. They looked like enough to patch him up, but then his stomach rumbled and he remembered. "Hey, Has," he turned to look at him, "do you mind if someone else comes over? He promised me cookies." Duo did his best to imitate Quatre when he was asking for something.

He didn't wait for an answer and ran back to his room to grab his journal. Duo walked back to the kitchen and tried the sweet eyed look again. "He sounds really nice and like I said, there are cookies involved."

Haseo looked over, a little surprised out of his dazed state of gathering up water. He poured a little in one of the many little vases of flowers that were placed around the house. "Huh? Uh..."

He watched the other take off and come back quick for someone injured. "Sure... I don't care."

"Sweet! So where are we anyway? I haveta tell Kamui what house we're in so he knows where to come." Duo placed the journal on the counter and flipped it open to Kamui's page. He left his back to Haseo and looked at him expectantly over his shoulder. "So what do you think you can do with them anyway? Just because I'm light on my feet doesn't mean I don't still crav- er need attention."

"Tell him house 33," he explained as the silver haired youth replied as he went about fixing the frumpled parts of the wings and cleaning off the broken skin that peeked through.

"Well, can you move them at all?"

Duo moved the pen over the pages, writing the house number quickly to Kamui before letting his fingers tighten around the instrument. His breath hissed between his teeth as the stinging.

"Depends on how bad I really want to move them." Duo slid his feet a little farther apart and let more of his weight rest against he counter. He concentrated and pulled his muscles as hard as he could. It felt like straining a newly healed bone, but they moved. His left didn't straighten as far as the right, but still, it moved.

Sweat broke out on Duo's skin and he settled down again, his breathing harsh. "Ow. Bad idea. Want drink."

Kamui arrived at House 33 with a box of freshly baked cookies, his latest baking experiment. He knocked a little nervously on the door.

((...it's

broken_messiah... not "dark"... ^^;;))

Duo jumped a bit at the noise, jostling his wings again and pressing one against Haseo. "You think that's Kamui? Oh, or maybe it's your friends. Either way, we win."

Duo's face broke into a large smile despite the sweat still standing on his brow. He'd already separated himself from the pain and pushed it into the back of his mind. After all, there were cookies to be eaten, and other people to impress. Duo also couldn't be sure if the Mally would be watching anything and he wasn't about to show them any weakness.

(OOC: I'm stupid, but it's fixed now. ^_^;)
