CHAPTER ONE
I watched with an aching sadness as Wufei kissed Heero goodbye. We'd been drafted for a mission by Une, a possibly dangerous operation, and would be gone for a week. Heero had been signed off by Sally four days ago whilst he recovered from a bad concussion, meaning that Wu and I would be partnered together.
We usually worked in separate teams, but apparently we were both needed for this particular assignment.
"Come back safe." Heero said, with some tenderness in his tone, and my heart gave a painful pang.
What was it like to be together like that? I loved them both, but they loved each other. I knew the hardships both of my best friends had been through and was not going to jeopardise their relationship by admitting that I had a crush on them both. They deserved this happiness at least.
"You know I can't promise that." Wufei replied seriously, pulling his lover into a fierce hug.
I hated to intrude on their moment, I really did, but we had to get going.
"Don't worry Hee-chan," I said to him sombrely, but with a reassuring smile. "I'll make sure that he comes home to you." I picked up my bag. "Wu, we gotta go."
He sighed, and kissed Heero once more, before grabbing his bag and following me to our unmarked car, one specifically designated for this mission.
Three hours later we'd arrived at the hotel that would serve as our base for the duration of the mission. It was a run down place with shouting couples and winos. I for one was thankful. I'd been in a lot worse places than this one, and it was heaven compared to mine and Solo's den back on L2. Wufei however, was not accustomed to this sort of thing and did not look impressed in the least. I heaved my bag onto the bed nearest the window and began to unpack, watching covertly as 'Fei did the same, pausing to gaze tenderly at his favourite snap of Heero before putting it on the bedside table.
We worked systematically, setting up the surveillance system together. We were ready to begin within the hour.
"Right, I'm goin' for a shower, you can have one once I'm done." I announced, grabbing some clean clothes and heading for the bathroom. "Call for takeout willya?"
Wufei grumbled, but when I emerged from the bathroom, there was pizza sat on the coffee table along with a bottle of water and two cans of soda. Wu said nothing and claimed the bathroom, cursing when the water ran too hot.
In all honesty, I hadn't complained about the heat, happy to see running water. Yes, we all lived near to each other, them in a small house near headquarters, me in an apartment a few blocks away. Yes, I had running water, hot and cold. And yes, I had lots of extra things. But no, I wasn't going to forget my roots. Water was precious, and even with all of my hair, I was the quickest one of all five of us in the bathroom.
I sat on the bed, brushing my hair and had to stare at Wufei's lean, sleek body as he re-entered the room in a towel. They were both so perfect. I felt my heart breaking a little, wishing I had them, that they loved me. I wanted to tell them, but no way was I going to cause trouble for their relationship. I suppose though that if I'd known what way this mission was going to go, I would've made that leap.
