Heero Yuy - Horse Farmer
I had just poured myself a glass of brandy when Heero came storming in from outside, a glare on his face fit to make hardened convicts turn tail and run. 'I hate your damn partner,' he snapped and then grabbed my glass from my hand, downing it in three swallows.
'What in the world did Quatre do to you?' I asked blandly, and refilled the glass after he thumped it down on the side-board.
'Do I look like a fucking farmer to you?' Heero growled by way of explanation and then took my brandy to go stare out the French doors.
'At the moment, you look like a rabid dog,' I informed him and got down another glass. 'Should you look like a farmer?'
He really didn't seem to be paying any attention as he took another gulp of my drink. 'Going to turn everything upside down. We finally got the stupid living room painted and now we're going to have to sell the stupid place. Quatre is going to pay for this.'
'Pay for what?' Wufei asked as he came in the same door Heero had, giving me a quizzical look.
'You got me,' I shrugged and took my new glass to stand in a line with Heero to see what he was glaring at so hard. I could just make out the horse barn and part of the fence.
'Pay for this nightmare,' Heero growled, draining my original glass and glancing toward the bar like he was contemplating pouring himself another.
'Did I miss something?' Wufei asked me since Heero was not being overly forthcoming with any information.
'Same thing I missed, apparently,' I told him, giving a nod toward the bar, but he declined with a shake of his head.
'Yuy?' Wufei prompted and for a moment I thought Heero was going to hurl my tumbler at him.
'I am about to become the proud half owner of a fucking horse,' Heero snapped, turning to glare at both of us as though we had something to do with this sudden strange declaration.
'A horse,' I repeated, trying to figure out just how this might have come about in the fifteen minutes the four of them had been down by the barn. While Quatre had been showing them the new foal, I was positive that he had no intentions of getting rid of any of our horses.
'Duo wants a damn horse,' Heero clarified, but then just turned back to the window, dismissing us.
'Yuy,' Wufei began patiently. 'I was down there at the barn with you, and Duo never said a word about wanting a horse.'
Heero snorted disdainfully, but then straightened slightly, unconsciously letting us know there was now something to see out the doors he'd been standing in front of. Wufei and I both moved to stand next to him to see what had gotten his attention.
Quatre had let the mare and our new foal out of their stall and he and Duo were standing in the paddock watching the thing as it gamboled about its mother.
'Didn't say anything, my ass,' Heero mumbled, jerking his chin in Duo's direction. 'Just fucking look at him.'
We did, and I have to admit Duo was utterly transfixed. Captivated would be a good word. Absolutely euphoric really, as he watched the colt dance around him. I don't think I'd ever seen him look quite as openly happy as he looked then.
The foal was stretching out his neck to sniff at Duo, and when Duo reached to touch him, the creature fled to hide behind its mother. Duo laughed with delight, and I heard Heero sigh.
'You say no to that expression,' he groused and tried to get another swallow from my empty glass.
Wufei snickered. 'You are so screwed.'
'Tell me about it,' Heero agreed, his temper finally seeming to fade. 'What the hell do I know about horses?'
'Quatre will help you get started,' I smiled, watching my partner coax the skittish foal back over for Duo to pet. 'You know that.'
'He better,' Heero warned. 'Since he started this.'
I grinned where he couldn't see it. 'Hmmm... Circle Yuy?'
'Maxwell Meadows?' Wufei supplied, grinning back at me.
'What?' Heero asked, finally tearing his gaze away from his partner to glare at our amusement.
'You're going to have to name this horse ranch, Heero,' I smiled, making sure to step out of reach first.
'Asshole,' he muttered, and glanced back outside in time to see Duo finally get to lay hands on the frisky foal. I couldn't have denied that look either; not even if it had been asking for the moon.
Heero sighed like a doomed man, while Wufei and I thanked our lucky stars it was Heero's nightmare and not our own.
Heero Yuy, horse farmer... who would have believed it?
