Chapter 15 - Donut Chronicles: 15 (Last Chapter)

It took awhile, but Heero eventually managed to clean the excess chocolate out of his ears
after the whole Dounut-In-The-Ears-Music-Incident. Yeah. He also had to eat said
chocolate, but we won’t go into ear waxy detail.

Currently, it was Trowa’s birthday and the gang had decided to celebrate by going out to
a somewhat fancy buffet, called the Chinese Buffet. Where they served Japanese food at
a buffet.

“I wanna try some of that, and that, and that, and this, and oooh – THAT!” Duo said,
racing around happily, his braid following, and knocking food off of random plates.

“Do TRY and calm down,” Wufei said, rolling his eyes in the general direction of Duo,
which was slightly hard considering Duo seemed to be in twenty places at once.

“Come and get some food,” Quatre told Trowa as they put their coats at the table.

“ . . . “ Trowa replied, and Quatre smiled. The two of them went to the buffet.

“And you thought it was bad that I could understand Heero’s ‘hn’ speak,” Duo remarked.
Quatre turned to him and flashed a victory sign before getting a plate for his food.

Eventually, everyone was seated at the table and eating their food happily.

During a lull in the conversation (which was one-sided and provided by Duo), Heero
spoke up for the first time, with a well meaning, “hn.”

Duo tilted his head to the side, “Come again Heero?” He said, and then grinned. “I’m just
joking!” He stood up dramatically. “Heero just said that he wants a donut or omae o
korosu.”

Trowa groaned. “ . . . .”

Quatre smiled. “Trowa just, erm, said?” Quatre paused a moment, wondering if that was
the best way to describe it, and then shrugged. “Trowa just said that that seems vaguely
familiar.”

”That it does,” Duo replied, remembering the first chapter of these stories. “You know
what this means,” He added dramatically.

There was a hush at the table, and finally Wufei rolled his eyes and said, “What does it
mean, Maxwell?”

Duo paused for dramatic effect and then whispered even more dramatically, “Heero’s
going to kill someone if we don’t get him a donut.”

Everyone facefaulted, and fell over.

When he finally got back up, Wufei glared. “Even I could have told you that!” He said,
groaning.

“Yeah, but I did, didn’t I?” Duo replied.

Before Wufei could retort, Heero spoke up again. “Hn!”

Duo sweatdropped. “Heero is very very pissed.”

Trowa stood up silently and plodded off to get the donut. Quatre followed close behind,
in case Trowa needed to speak.

“So when did Trowa become mute, anyway?” Duo asked cheerfully, getting up to get
some dessert.

“I dunno,” Wufei said, thoughtfully. “I guess somewhere between last chapter and now.”

”Yeah, I guess so,” Duo replied. He left to get dessert, and shortly after, Wufei got up as
well, presumably to get a drink, leaving Heero quite alone at the table.

Heero was about to put a piece of chicken in his mouth, when a loud and shrill voice said
loudly and shrilly in his ears, “HI HEEEEEERO!” Heero grimaced. “Hn,” he said, but
without Duo to tell Relena that that meant ‘go away or omae o korosu,’ Relena figured it
just mean, ‘Hi Relena, it is so good to see you right now.’

“Hn to you too,” Relena replied.

Heero grimaced. He was pretty sure that Relena didn’t realize she had just said, ‘I like to
watch Yu-gi-oh naked.’ Heero grimaced for the third time, having run out of other
expressions that suited his mood.

“Did you just eat a lemon or something,” Relena giggled. “Come on, Heero, I think they
have some Sprite!”

Heero shrugged. Why would he want sprite when he could have COFFEE?? Nonetheless,
he got up and followed Relena to the drinks section, in hopes of finding some coffee to
drink. He had a feeling it would come in handy later when Duo was on a sugar high.

Meanwhile, Quatre and Trowa had managed to located a donut somehow (ok, so we omit
the entire scene where Quatre holds everyone at gunpoint until someone makes him a
donut, but you get the picture, right?) and brought it back to the table, where Heero
wasn’t. However, in a moment, Heero was, and he was pissed still.

”Hn!” he practically growled. Relena was nowhere to be seen. Later, they would find her
body cramped up underneath the drinks bar, but for now, everyone assumed she had
gotten into her pink limo and left.

Duo showed up, just in time to say, “Heero says that they don’t serve coffee either, and
omae o korosu if you don’t have his donut.”

”He’s rather violent today,” Quatre sighed, handing over the donut. Heero graciously
accepted it, and then Quatre decided it was time to give Trowa his presents!

First, Wufei gave Trowa a long flat box. Trowa opened it up. “. . “ he said.

Quatre smiled. “Trowa says thanks for your six year old katana.” Wufei smiled, and
nodded.

Next, Quatre gave Trowa homemade cookies. Trowa smiled. And then Heero gave
Trowa a box of donuts and an automatic coffee maker.

Duo blinked. “Heero,” he said, “If you had donuts and a coffee machine with you this
entire time, why did you get so uptight about the lack of donuts and coffee?”

Heero shrugged and ‘hned’ softly.

Duo shook his head before handing a box to Trowa.

Trowa opened it. “. . . . . . “ he said.

Quatre blinked. “Trowa thanks you for the book of ‘101 Ways To Style Hair Besides an
Obnoxious Forward Bang Flip.’ “ Quatre paused. “ And the plastic dog crap, too.”

Duo grinned and then it was his turn to flash Quatre a victory sign.

All in all, it was a pretty successful birthday, at least until they decided to go out for a
movie.

”Bob?” Duo said.

“hn,” Heero replied.

“What?” Duo said. He ‘hned’ loudly at Heero.

Heero replied, “Hn.”

And then Duo said, “Oh, you want to see The Pianist, not *my* penis?”

Everyone fell down, very anime style.

“Hey, hey, this IS an anime for one thing, and it was a simple misunderstanding!” Duo
said as they all went off to see The Pianist.
