“So how are things going there?”
Duo groaned and dropped his head to his desk. “Can I come back to the Amazon?”
An amused chuckle filled his ear. “Miss me already?”
His mind's eye was filled with visions of the Preventer and he had to admit, yes he did miss him. Blake Davis was two years older than Duo, 6'3” and pure muscle, with chocolate brown eyes and short dirty blond hair. Duo could easily get away with pranks on him and somehow managed to catch him by surprise every time. A wide grin and laughter was always the reward.
“Actually, yeah. When are you coming home?”
“I thought you wanted to come here.”
“Uh, why would I go there if you come here?”
A laugh rumbled in Blake's deep baritone. “Maxwell, I do believe you're flirting with me.”
He snorted. “You started it.”
“Hey, I can't always let you have all the fun.”
Duo leaned back and stared at the computer screen that was running a scan for a certain material that Knight used religiously in his experiments. He was searching for a virtual needle, hoping that the man had bought in bulk at some point in the recent past.
“All hell broke loose the day I got home.”
“What'd you do?”
“Hey! Why do you always think I did something?”
Blake laughed again. “Because you usually do.”
He sighed and went to rummage through his fridge for something to drink. “Okay, I do, but this time, I swear it wasn't me. We've got an agent down.”
Blake's light tone was immediately serious. “Who?”
Duo clenched his fist around the cold beer. “Fei.”
“How bad is it?”
He drained half the beer. “Not too terribly horrendous. He'll live. But the fact of the matter is he was attacked in his own home and stabbed three times.”
“What's he saying about it?”
“He doesn't know the guys that did it and we're coming up with some wild assumptions that actually could put my ass in the fire.”
“How's that?”
He sat back at his computer and cracked his neck. “That not quite illegal but definitely unethical decision of mine a few years back.”
Blake was silent for a moment. “The implants?”
“Yeah.”
“I don't get how that's connected to someone attacking Chang.”
He snorted. “Yeah, I didn't really either, until I found out Fei knows him and his opinion is not nearly as high of the good doctor as mine is. Blake, he's scared of him.”
“I didn't realize Chang had the ability to be scared.”
Duo rolled his eyes, wishing, not for the first time, that Blake had a vid-phone at his disposal. “We all do.”
“Not you.”
Duo chuckled. “Oh, I wouldn't say that. You scared the crap out of me our first time.”
Blake choked on a laugh. “Hey, I offered to be bottom.”
“No thank you, sir, I could not imagine attempting to top a giant. Besides, I like bottom.”
Blake groaned. “Can we please not talk sex when we're over a hundred miles apart?”
Duo sighed. “Can you please not remind me we're over a hundred miles apart?”
“Duo, I know this isn't the time, but... When are you going to tell your friends we're together?”
He rubbed his forehead. “I'm not trying to hide it, Blake. Things have been crazy for the last few months and there's just no tactful way over dinner to say, 'Oh hey, guys, by the way, I'm finally bein' shagged on a regular basis by Davis'.
That startled a laugh out of the blond. “Uh, I hope it's more than that. You could just say you've got a boyfriend.”
Duo smirked. “Gee, why didn't I think of that?” The computer beeped and he leaned forward. “Well, shit.”
“What?”
“I was hopin' to track the doc by finding bulk buyers of his favorite product. I came up with six listings that range from Earth to the furthest colony.”
“At least it's only six.”
“Don't try to placate me.”
“Oh dear... Placate? Have you been studying the dictionary again?”
He snorted. “You know my rule.”
Blake laughed again. “Oh, right. And I quote, 'you are free to massacre the English language once you've mastered it', end quote. Correct?”
Duo pretended to sputter. “Oh my gosh, you actually listen when I talk!”
“Duo, everyone listens when you talk. We're not really given a choice.”
He shrugged. “Ear plugs are always an option.”
“You do realize everyone knows your deep, dark secret. No one, not for one minute, believes you're the fool you pretend to be.”
“Damn, my plot to take over the world by idiocy is foiled again. Personally, I blame it on my muses. I attempted to strangle one the other day, but he's just so darn cute I couldn't do it.”
“Hm, do I even want to know?”
Duo grinned. “Probably not, but I'll tell you anyway. It struck me just as I was about to board the plane to leave you and head home. That morning ran through my mind and I realized that hot chocolate would have gone perfectly with-”
“Stop right there!” Blake exclaimed. “You, sir, are evil.”
“And you, sir, are sexy; therefore, I cannot be held responsible for my actions, or words, concerning your person.”

Wufei tossed his head slightly and released a whimper that drew Sally's attention from his charts. She had assumed it was a nightmare until his eyes opened and he drew his knees to his chest. She dropped the chart and moved to the side of the bed.
“Wufei? What's wrong?”
“Hurts,” he gasped.
“What does?”
“My stomach.”
She pulled the blanket back, pushed his knees down gently and lifted his t-shirt. The stitches seemed to be all right. “What exactly is hurting? The incision site?”
He shook his head. “No... inside.” He curled his legs in again and pressed his hand to his stomach.
“What kind of pain?”
He closed his eyes, gritting his teeth. “Stabbing... and getting...worse.” He pressed his face to the pillow as a deep groan was ripped from him. “Sally,” he gasped, “help me.”
Her brows drew together and she brushed Wufei's hair from his face. “Hold on, Wufei.” She ran for morphine and injected it. After five minutes, he was screaming from the pain.
“What the hell is going on?”
She looked to Heero and Trowa as she and several nurses wheeled Wufei to do an MRI. “I don't know.”
Wufei was incoherent due to the pain. Heero and Trowa ran alongside them. “What do you mean you don't know?” Heero demanded.
“Exactly that!” she shot back. “One minute he was sleeping soundly, the next he was screaming in pain.” They followed until she said they could go no further and waited outside the rooms they did the MRIs in. The screaming continued for a good ten minutes before it lessened to whimpers. When they brought Wufei out of the room he was pale and sweating, but coherent.
“'M fine.”
“Like hell you are,” Heero muttered.
“No, really,” Sally disagreed, “according to the MRI, nothing is wrong.”
Heero ground his teeth. “Then do another test, because there has to be something wrong. Healthy people don't scream in pain.”
She leveled a flat glare at him. “We're going to do a CT scan next. I'm not just going to pretend he's okay because the pain lessened and the MRI showed nothing. I do know how to do my job.”
As she disappeared, with Wufei in tow, to the CT room, Heero pulled out his cell.
“Damn it, Heero, you're ruining my sex life, you know that?”
He grunted. “Like Davis would ever do cyber. Wufei's condition has worsened.”
Duo brushed off the fact that his friends, or at least Heero, already knew of his relationship with the Preventer, and focused on the more important facts. “How is that possible?”
“Don't know, apparently no one does. Sally's taking him for a CT scan. The MRI showed nothing was wrong, but he screamed in pain for a good half hour.”
“I'm on my way.”
Heero should have stalled him, told him there was nothing he could do. Duo had hardly had any sleep in days... maybe weeks. But the fact of the matter was, he needed his best friend. He needed his support as he faced the fact that his secret love may be dying. “I'm sorry.”
Duo snorted. “Like I wouldn't ask the same.”
Heero closed his eyes, thanking whatever god there was for the braided man who'd given him an entirely new prospect on life. A life filled with friends and love. “Thanks.”
