I completely refuse to call these birthday posts, because I will feel like crap the first month I fall on my face and don't manage to come up with anything. Besides... as a birthday gift, these are kind of lame. >_>
So this wouldn't be the ficlet of birthdayness for all the March babies. Nope. Not at all.
This is like... random ficlet. *nod nod* Noooooo traditions being started here. *vigorous nod of denial*
But... you know... happy birthday and all, if you just happen to have a birthday in March.
*cough*
Dialogue ficlet of the dumb, implied 1+2 and 5+S with the usual language warnings and stuff.
And dialogue ficlet sort of implies stupid, would-be humor... right? That's a given?
Lame Excuses
*bring*
Yuy here.
Heero? Man, am I glad I caught you! Listen, there's going to be a tiny little change in the plans tonight...
Duo, just stop right there. If you're calling to tell me that some other disaster is going to keep us from going out again tonight, I'm going to have to seriously start wondering if you're doubting this dating thing.
What? No! What makes you think...
Duo, Monday you canceled because you stumbled into a random bank robbery. Tuesday you canceled because of a gas leak in your building. Wednesday you canceled because your neighbor's cat had kittens in the seat of your car! If you're telling me that we're not going out tonight because of some other ridiculous half-baked excuse, let's just forget it.
...
Duo?
So... uh... would it be ok if we went out at seven instead of six?
Is that all? Oh. Sorry... that would be fine.
Ok. Uhm... would it be ok if you drove?
I suppose I can do that.
And uh... would you really care if we maybe went to the movies instead of bowling?
Duo... bowling was your idea to begin with. It does not matter to me one way or the other.
Ok then... uh... I guess I'll see you at seven?
Seven. I'll be there.
Great. Uh... bye, Heero.
Bye, Duo.
*click*
Stop smirking at me, Chang.
I'm not smirking, Yuy. But don't expect me to sit here in a ten by ten office and pretend our phone conversations are private.
Well that doesn't mean you have to gloat at my dating problems.
Trouble in paradise?
'Paradise' implies that Duo and I have a relationship, but since he hasn't managed to show up for a single date yet, I don't think it qualifies.
It's hardly his fault...
Oh please! He just happens to go in to a bank that isn't even his bank, and just happens to interrupt a robbery, and just happens to single-handedly apprehend two robbers...
Three.
What?
There were three of them. And it wasn't single-handedly, since Sally helped. It was her bank; Duo was just giving her a ride.
Wait... you're kidding? That was for real? So the gas leak...?
The whole block was cordoned off for six hours before the fire department deemed it safe. Duo spent the night at my place once he got in to his apartment to get his stuff. I didn't think he'd ever feel like he got the smell washed out of his hair.
And... the cat?
That was my neighbor's cat, actually. Duo was so upset over missing a second date with you that he forgot to roll up his car windows. We didn't find the... uh... mess until he was getting ready to leave Wednesday evening. Scared the mother cat when he got in the car and she tried to turn him into sushi.
Well... shit. So what do you think he was really going to tell me tonight?
Who knows? I sure as hell wouldn't have told you anything after the reception you just gave him.
Shit.
I think you said that already...
*bring*
Chang here. Yes I did. Thought as much. Need me to pick you up? Duo... this sounds like a bad... all right. All right. I'll be there. Bye.
Don't expect me to sit here and pretend our phone conversations are private, Chang.
Yes, Yuy, that was Duo.
Are you going to tell me what's going on?
I really shouldn't... just because you were an ass...
Chang...
I'm on my way to pick him up so he won't be late for his date.
Why... does he need picked up?
At a guess, because the hospital staff won't let him drive with the screwed up depth perception and the cast?
What?!
Though I suppose with the car totaled, he doesn't really have anything to drive even if...
Chang! What the hell is going on?
Oh, probably just another ridiculous, half-baked...
Which hospital, you asshole?
St. Eligius. I take it you're going to...
Damn straight. You can stay here and finish the reports and email Une and let her know I'm taking the rest of the day off.
Anything else, 'boss'?
Yes... stop smirking!
