Pairings: 1+3, Wu+Sally
Spoilers: None
Notes: I thought it up while once again, watching tv. This takes place about
4 years after EW.
Warnings: shounen-ai.
Heero Yuy, the once child terror of outerspace, now a laid back 20 year old man with a cool bachelor's pad and a beautiful boyfriend, settled down on his leather couch and turned on the TV. Flipping through the channels, he landed on a show and a familiar face. Ah, Duo. He knew that somehow his former Gundam pilot partner would get a job that exposed him to the millions of people out there. And so far, Duo Maxwell, was every teen girl's (and some boy's) heartthrob, had won every entertainment award achievable and was in the middle of writing his 3rd book, "And then there was Me." Heero smiled softly to himself, as his lover walked into the door.
"Good evening, dear." Heero greeted Trowa, planting a kiss on his cheek. "Duo's on."
"Like he isn't on *every* night." Trowa said, and then started to mimic the announcer as he said, "Right here, on channel 48. Home of Duo Maxwell!"
Heero grinned, he liked not being so cold all the time. He liked it when Trowa talked, even more when he laughed. Trowa sat down next to him. "Well, imagine that Trowa. Wufei in business." he commented, as a commercial for Chang-Po Writing and Martial Arts school was shown.
"Sally must have suggested it. At least it's something Wufei might have agreed on, for once."
As the commercial ended, with Sally reciting the number to call, an infomercial started. It was of a young boy sitting in front of a computer. He looked rather bored, typing every once and a while, blank face. 'Makes me think of me...' Heero thought to himself. The boy sighed and slumped back in his chair as his mother walked in, "Ugh, Mom! This is boring! I can't seem to concentrate!"
The screen froze and a somehow incredibly familiar man walked on. "Has this ever happened to you? Bored with reports, whining with spreadsheets? Well, now I have the answer to all your computer woes! Hi, I'm Quatre Raberba Winner, and I'm going to introduce Zero System 3.0, for Windows!"
Heero's jaw would've hit the floor if Trowa's didn't beat him to it. Quatre kept smiling and the scene changed back to the boy, now using the Zero. "Must complete, must destroy work. You don't want to work? Then you shouldn't be typing at all!" the boy was yelling, red-faced and pounding on the computer.
"See how focused and determined he is. And with a flick of a switch," the mother ran and turned off the computer quickly. "He's back to normal!" the boy started crying uncontrollably.
Quatre went on about how the system worked, with the scientists smiling in the background. Then, the former Queen of the World was on screen. "I use the Zero system everyday for work, and it works wonderfully! It has reduced stress, I've lost a few pounds and time seems to fly by! Thank you Zero system, you've changed my life!"
Quatre concluded the infomercial saying, "The Zero System is also available for Mac and Linux. Buy yours today and say bye bye to computer stress!"
But Heero didn't even get a chance, as he was giving mouth-to-mouth (not THAT kind, mind you) to a certain unibanged pilot, who had fallen fainted and fallen unconcious.
The End!
Wai!! That was fun!!!
Heero: Breathe, Trowa, BREATHE!
Trowa: .....
Heero: That's it, c'mon! You can do it!
Trowa: .......
Heero: Hooray!
Umm......FEEDBACK PLEASE!
