Overworking. As usual.

[Heero is studying... when he doesn't even have to be studying. This test does not count. This test is only to see what he already knows before the teacher gets on with the school year. And yet, he feels he has to make a perfect score on this test.

Right.

It's been three hours, so Heero decides it's time for a break. He opens his laptop, types in his password, and then goes to his fridge to get a drink...]

[Duo pauses and just looks at Heero]

Better question. Why did you give Dorothy my number?

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

[He thinks about that... and then sighs, shaking his head.]

I don't think I originally intended to give it to her, actually.

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

Guess I can forgive that. [So this resembles a conversation jump] You know Wufei's birthday's coming up?

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

[Blink!] No, I didn't. ... Does this have anything to do with Dorothy wanting your number?

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

She wants to plan a surprise party for him.

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

[Loooong pause...]

... No wonder she called you. You're both insane enough to try it. [Another casual bite of his food~]

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

What, does that mean you won't help?

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

I'll help. I just don't want to be the one in charge of this one. [Bit of a smirk]

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

Good thing we weren't planning on that. All you're signed up for is helping me set up and keeping 'Fei from killing us when he finds out.

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

[Amused snort~] You're on your own for the second one. I can only do so much.

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

He listens to you, though. ...Oh. And do you have any idea what the hell kind of stuff he'd want us to do? And don't say nothing because that doesn't count.

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

You think I know? That's one of the reasons I wouldn't want to be in charge of this one.

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

Neither've us know either, so it's not like you're in the minority. I might ask Sally, but I'm kind of afraid she might ruin the whole surprise part.

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

I don't know Sally well enough to know if she would or not. You could try it, I suppose. ... I'd try getting a hold of Trowa, but I doubt he has any idea, either. [Thinking...]

... He would probably content with good food, friends and conversation. Or to just sit around and read, but that's not what you do at a party.

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

Sure, but what's his version of good food? I think he might deck me if he came back to pizza.

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

... Those party trays, I guess. Healthy food. The kind of thing you'd see at a more upscale party. Vegetables, sandwiches... [He shakes his head -- he never really understood that sort of thing, but to each their own...]

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

You know, we're really failing as his friends, letting him be so uptight all the time.

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

[Heero shakes his head.] Not necessarily. It just means we accept what he is. Isn't that essentially what friendship is?

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

Sure, but all that tension's got to be hell to live with. Wouldn't it be better if we helped him loosen up? [Meddling? Duo?]

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

[... But not Heero.] That sounds like more of a job for you than for me. You've been pulling that routine on me for how long now?

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

And it's working, too. [biiiiiiig grin]

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

[Shakes his head] One can only maintain a sufficient defense for so long.

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

Just means I've got to get to that point with him, is all. And, you know, not die in the process.

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

Heh. He's no more violent than I am, he's just... louder about it.

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

Sure, but you're easier to distract.
