Winning should come with some kind of satisfaction. And it might, Wufei supposed, with time. For now, he wasn't much other than frustrated. None of his opponents had fought with any kind of honor, retreating the instant things turned in his favor. Fighting against that kind of weakness could never truly end with success, unless he was able to completely destroy his opponents.

As soon as his last opponent left, taking most of the other fighters along with him, Wufei moved to stand by his car and wait for Heero.

Comments

"I knew I shouldn't have left you with him alone," Wufei grumbled.

Duo gave Wufei a look. "Hey, this isn't my fault. Besides, he's all patched. Mostly."

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

"I am all patched," Heero protested, finally turning to glare at them both. "I more than likely could have patched myself up last night as well."

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

"Like hell you could have," Duo managed to interject before Wufei could say anything.

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

Heero's glare turned just a little bit sharper. "What makes you think that I couldn't?"

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

"The huge gash in your arm, for one." Duo nodded toward said arm. "And the fact that you were about to pass out might have had something to do with it."

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

"I would have been fine." Heero would have added that that's what they make stimulants for, but he knew that would go over negatively. "You know I've been through worse."

[pridefulscholar.livejournal.com]

"Which is no reason to not take advantage of the services available, Yuy," Wufei said, also glaring.

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

"You act as though you wouldn't have protested as well, Chang." Heero's tone was a little quieter, but that only seemed to amplify how angry he was.

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

Duo couldn't let that comment slide. "So you're both idiots, that doesn't make either of you right!"

[pridefulscholar.livejournal.com]

"There are times," Wufei said, carefully enunciating each word, "when hospitals and doctors are necessary, and times when they are not."

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

Heero was ignoring Duo. For the time being, anyway. He saw Duo often enough, he'd get his later.

"And it was not necessary this time," He snapped back to Wufei, "Besides, how many times have you hidden from seeing a doctor when it became necessary?"

[pridefulscholar.livejournal.com]

"I have never hidden," Wufei snapped. "And it has never turned out badly."

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

Duo muttered something under his breath at that, but he wasn't interrupting just yet.

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

Heero crossed his arms, meeting Wufei's response with raised eyebrows and an 'Oh really?' look. "I recall at least one occasion where you disappeared when the fight was done. Wounded severely."

[pridefulscholar.livejournal.com]

Wufei crossed his arms as well, not backing down an inch. "I was not hiding." Possibly hoping that his weakness would resolve the issue of losing on its own, but never hiding.

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

Heero wasn't backing down either. "From someone who often speaks of justice, I'm hearing a lot of hypocrisy."

[pridefulscholar.livejournal.com]

Wufei remained silent for a few long moments. "You were not in any shape to take care of yourself last night," he said, paying no attention to the fact that his voice had nearly doubled in volume, "and it would have been dishonorable to allow you to try!"

That was more than enough for Duo. "You're both fucking idiots!" he said, waving his arms for emphasis. "Both of you! I can't believe you're even having this argument!"

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

"I was perfectly capable of handling myself last night! I only needed to get home!" Heero brought his voice to a level that matched Wufei's.

Then, he turned to Duo. "If both of you would have let me take care of it, we would not even be having this argument!"

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

"Sure, because you'd still be fucked over from all the blood loss!" He wasn't quite up to the volume of the Asians, but he was getting there. "Hurt people go to hospitals, that's how things work! I don't know what the hell world you two think you're living in."

[selfdetonation.livejournal.com]

"I could have rested at home and recovered just as well as I recovered here!" He felt his fists clenching and had to bite back an insane amount of rage - part of him really wanted to throw a punch at either of them, but the majority of him did not want to hurt his friends. He just wanted to get the fuck out of the hospital.

And from behind Heero, Dorothy let out a loud, "AHEM."

She stood there with arms crossed, back straight, one high-heeled foot tapping rhythmically against the linoleum flooring and a look on her face that was a hybrid mix of a glare and an amused smirk with just the right air of aggravation that she appeared taller and more authoritative than usual.

"I leave you seal boys alone for just a few minutes..."

[pridefulscholar.livejournal.com]

"Catalonia," Wufei said, his tone somewhere between greeting and warning.

[maxwellian.livejournal.com]

Duo backed off a step, obviously surprised to see her, but he didn't say anything further.
