[Duo was trying to be serious. Honest. It's a serious matter, to have the Angels threatening their security to the point where he was going to stay with Heero. But... well, it was a very good reason to hang out with Heero. He'd taken the chance to swing by the grocery for some peeps and toothpicks, as well as a few other goodies. Who knew what Heero would have for snacking purposes? And, of course, he'd brought the useful stuff. Hell if he was giving Heero a reason to yell at him, and hell if he was going to make it any easier for the Angels than it had to be.

Arms occupied with way too much stuff, he used his head— to knock on the door.]

Heero, buddy, open the door. Maybe you should invest in a push-in door. [another knock] So I could, you know, push it. You'd probably still lock it, though. Meaning my pushing still wouldn't do anything. [knock! Okay, that one was a little too hard. Ow. He'd be putting a hand to his head, if he could get one out of the bags]

Sorry. I'm not giving in on that one. [He glances over at his laptop.] That should probably go off soon, too.

Didn't say you should. [Duo reaches over to shut off the music] No loss. Wasn't really listening to it anyway, just thought it's a little eerie, sitting here in the quiet and the dark.

Yeah. It is. ... Made worse by the fact that we're anticipating something.

Could always be worse.

Yeah? How?

We could be in separate places, in the quiet in the dark. [Except Duo would never sit in the quiet and the dark by himself, and the silence is making him just a little twitchy.]

Heh. Yeah, I don't know that I'd want to be alone in this.

At least it's kind of a nice night. No rain or anything. [Down to the weather. Kind of pathetic.]

[Even Heero realizes that. Man.]

True. [pause] I wonder where Wufei decided to go.

Hopefully somewhere without many breakables. I'm more interested in how long it'll take him to show back up. Maybe he'll remember to answer his cell phone every now and then.

I sometimes wonder why he has a cell phone. [He shakes his head.] Whatever.

This is only lasting one night. Why would he stay in hiding any longer than that?

It's Wufei. [which is enough of an answer in Duo's mind.]

[But not in Heero's. He just shakes his head again.] If you say so.

[Now that it's dark, he's getting a little more paranoid, which he only shows outwardly by inching his hand just that much closer to the gun beside him. Good thing, though, because there's some shifting and shuffling out back, if you're paying close enough attention. And there isn't exactly anywhere to walk in back...]

[Duo's paying more attention to the quiet than whatever noise might be in it. He's already asked about the weather, and no quick alternative comments come to mind, so he just shifts, uncomfortably, and gives the pringles can a little shake.]

[Heero picks up on what might have been movement outside, so he reaches over to put a stop to the can-shaking, the index finger of his other hand up to his lips just in case Duo looks his way. He then remains completely still, trying to listen more carefully...]

[He opens his mouth — either to complain, or make a teasing comment — but shuts up when he sees Heero's gesture, forcing himself to try and figure out what Heero's listening for.]

[He stays put for another half of a minute, but doesn't hear anything else. He sighs heavily, relaxing and shaking his head. He didn't think he was just jumping at shadows and nothing, but...]

... You didn't hear anything, did you? [It almost sounds more like a statement than a question.]

[Duo shakes his head slowly, looking confused]

What did you hear?

Not sure. Footsteps, movement... something in back. [He nods at the window. He really wants to go check it out, but he also realizes that might not be the best idea...]

If we're supposed to be.. not here, we probably shouldn't go check it out. [Which isn't to say he wouldn't like to go check it out]

[More movement... louder this time. And growing.]

[Heero narrows his eyes and grabs the gun beside him as he stands.] Doesn't matter. They know someone's here. Get a weapon and hide somewhere.

Dammit. [He can't help a little enthusiasm that they're getting to do something now, but it's overshadowed by just what they're having to do. Duo hurries over to grab his own gun out of one of the bags by the door, slipping a few other goodies into the pocket in the process. After making sure he has everything set, he rolls his eyes, grumbling under his breath.]

Hide, he tells me. [Duo tugs his hat a little more firmly onto his head, and seems to disappear into the shadows, moving so that he's at the edge of the kitchen and the living room]

[The most advantageous position -- the other end of the hallway -- is not exactly an option right now as Heero has no idea how long it will be until whoever it is shows up. He stays on the other side of the couch instead, low to the ground. All he can do is wait, really...]

[This intruder does not do sneaky. He put up with it just enough to get to the back door, but from now on, he's doing it his way. So, the loud crash of shattering glass, he makes his way inside. He has a rather large sword in his hands, at the ready, just in case. Seeing no one in the current room, however, he makes his way into the hallway -- slowly, cautiously.]

[The crashing has Duo fingering one of the explosive bundles in his pocket, but setting aside the fact that he'd have to take a moment to light it, he has a feeling they're going for a minimum of damage — at least at the moment. Not that whoever-it-is has any such thing in mind. As it stands, he's just trying to find a good, clear shot. No point pulling the trigger prematurely and blowing the element of surprise.]
