For ravensilver: A bit of the ON universe, Heero/Duo- it came out as a match for the other little one I wrote for you last time...
One Night Drabble 4
Heero closed the door behind him and hit the last code on the keypad beside the door. Perhaps they were a little paranoid about security, but Heero wanted their home to feel 'safe' to both of them- and to do so, security had to be in place.
He ran a hand through his hair, felt the cold, sticky wetness that clumped his bangs together and closed his eyes. What an immense mistake. The Org had told him that it was an easy back-up job for one of the newer employees- they'd insisted that he leave Duo at home, that he was too unstable to risk on this kind of delicate mission.
What crap. They must've known their newbie was a maniac, and that if Duo had met him, he'd have killed the idiot just on principle.
If the idiot hadn't managed to take himself out along with the target, Heero might have been tempted to pay his lover to do just that- though it would take away the satisfaction of killing the man himself...
Which he should've done the moment he realized what the idiot was trying to do... If only he had...
He covered his eyes, knowing he couldn't block the images, wishing he could... so many innocents...
"Heero? You okay?"
Heero lifted his hands away from his face and looked towards the stairs. Duo stood on the landing, frowning at him. "Hello love."
"You're bleeding." Duo hurried down the stairs, his expression dark. He pushed Heero's hands out of the way. "Why are you bleeding? What happened? It was supposed to be an easy job!"
"It was a complete fuck-up. It will hit the news tonight I'm sure..."
"As an attempt?"
Heero shook his head. "No, I did enough clean up so it looks like a gas explosion- called the Org so they could do some pressure if needed... but the idiot decided to rig enough explosive to the guy's car to destroy twenty of the things... It damaged the building... innocents were killed..."
Duo's arm slid around his shoulders, holding him close. "C'mon, you need to get cleaned up." He steered Heero towards the bathroom, sat him down on the edge of the tub as he examined Heero's head wound. "We can butterfly close this."
"Oh good." Heero unzipped his jacket and pulled off his shirt. Duo hissed at the scratches and bruises that were revealed.
"What is this newbie's name?" His voice promised mayhem.
"Don't know- we'll have to check the headstone. Idiot was too close to the blast."
"That's the last time you go without me. I'll talk to Chang." Duo turned on the shower. "Wash the blood off, I'll bandage you after."
As Heero stood in the shower watching the pink water swirl away down the drain, he heard Duo on the phone. He couldn't make out the words, but he knew the tone. It was one that usually made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, the one that usually made him seek out his lover and soothe him.
This time he felt Chang deserved whatever Duo was saying, so he simply stayed in the shower until Duo came to coax him out.
Dry, bandaged and warm in Duo's arms, Heero still didn't feel like closing his eyes. Duo seemed to understand, wrapping his limbs around Heero and sharing his warmth until Heero finally gave in to sleep.
