It Was Worth A Try [2+H, One-shot, WAFF, humor, PG-13]

Disclaimer: I own nothing, I regret nothing.
Category: Perhaps a little 2 with a hint of H. Humor, WAFF, silly simple stuff.
Author note: I wrote this almost as if it were from Hilde?s point of view, and I see her much more like a numbers person than words person, so that accounts for the casual and simple sentence structure. The story is so pointless, I know, but I thought it?d be cute and funny. A twisted sort of WAFF one-shot, if you will. *lecherous eyebrow raise* There is a moment of swearing in this, so kiddies be warned but otherwise rated PG.

It Was Worth A Try


She smiled fondly, like a mother surveying her young. Immediately before she was about to devour them, of course. Slowly inching up to the door of Duo?s room, she checked for the hundredth time whether or not there was anyone in there. It was impossible; he was outside. Checking the paperwork she deliberately sabotaged. She bounced happily on the balls of her feet and fearlessly reached for the knob to his door. Soon, very soon, she?d have the extra 500 dollars she needed to buy that television she wanted. All she needed was?

For Duo not to stomp cheerily into the house the way he suddenly just did.

Shit. Shit shit shit. She didn?t even give herself enough time to turn around, instead throwing herself sideways into the adjacent bathroom. One boisterous quest for a pen later, Duo was back outside humming throatily in the sunshine.

Some spy she was. She blew her bangs out of her face in frustration. Back to the mission. She cautiously stepped outside the bathroom and swiftly turned the knob. She hadn?t prepared an excuse, since accomplishing her mission would be well worth any confused and disturbed looks he would give her upon finding her in his room. She could always claim sudden amnesia. That had worked for Trowa, right?

His room was surprisingly dark, she noted warily. She had shut the door behind her, unwilling for him to casually enter the house for a snack only to investigate if he saw his door open. She had thought he loved the brightness of the new lamps the colony provided, or even the window light that glinted off his crucifix hanging from his bedpost. But what was most troubling was that she was going to have to locate her target in this darkened mass. Nope, that pile was computer parts, nope, that pile was shoes and small hand-held weapons, nope, that?

Was Duo wondering out loud how he could possibly have forgotten his gloves in his room.

She did the most logical thing she could. Stuff herself under the bed as frantically as possible. Completely forgetting about the giant box of spare parts Duo insisted on keeping there. And banging her head loudly and painfully on it. Twice.

His footsteps halted outside his room, and she could just see his face comically change into one of curiosity. Desperately, she groped around for the material she had risked all for in the first place. She silently prayed to some yet unidentified divinity that she was at least near the target, and in a moment of triumph, latched onto what she thought could be her ticket to high-resolution video games from there on out.

The artificial light flickered on, and Duo stood still. Had he not stoically weathered countless meaningless battles, he would have at least howled with indignation or mirth at the sight before him. But a man such as he only allowed the scene to illicit a single, quirked eyebrow. There she was, glazed and nearly drooling from what he thought might be a concussion, liltingly sprawled on his floor, holding onto something shiny and black he knew all too well.

?I? I??

?Another bet with Relena??

She hung her head shamefully. Until she remembered what she was getting out of the whole mess. She grinned unrepentantly, staggered to her feet, and worked her way past him out of the room. Duo only paused to shake his head, rhetorically inquire as to whether it would be returned after she was done with it, and then went outside to tinker until she was ready to explain herself.

The comlink flickered on and the precious cargo was examined for the first time. She lifted her now disappointedly scrunched face to the screen, and Relena?s face lit up like a child?s at Christmas.

?See, Hilde? I told you Duo was the sort of person to wear black, silk boxers and not briefs!?

[Lady Saffir]

*snicker* I'm almost afraid to find out about other bets these two have done. Perhaps Relena sneaking into Heero's room? More, please!

[hhryah]

Haha, thanks so much! I have some new ideas for fics, but didn't want to write the actual ones until I knew if anyone liked the idea of Hilde and Relena daring each other. Thanks for reading, and look for more soon!

[PeaceWing]

Hehe... another cute oneshot. And I if you fics are going to be as good as this, I definately read them.

[hhryah]

Thank you so much!!! I like WAFF stuff best, so cute one-shots are kinda my thing.
