Noin paced a few moments, before turning on the wary children, who cowered back in response. "I want to know what's going on now! starting with you." she said yelling, not quite calm but appearing mad on purpose. Jason and Su snickered as Zechs' mouth dropped open. "Quiet" Lu snapped, and Jason plus Su cowered back against the couch yet again. She hadn't been so mad the last time they had seen her. "Now" she said, smiling in a sickly sweet manner which belied her actual intentions, "Why and how did Dean get out of the house?" Zechs gasped a little looking at the kids and after a few "short" moments composed himself enough to answer her question. "They tripped me." Noin sighed and tapped her foot impatiently againsts the floor, her nails mimicking the action on her arms. "But they did, really," he whined. She glared and then turned to the kids, who looked hurriedly away. That settled it, the kids haad done it, and the young woman knew it as a fact. Zechs was yet again goated into doing something without thinking first. Oh, kids could do that so well. "Apologize." "But, but,but." the Lightning Count stuttered. "Not you," she said rolling her eyes. "You two." Noin glared evilly at Jason and Su, who whimpered slightly. "Sorry," they whispered in unison. Former Oz lieutenant Lucrezia Noin fell back into instructors mode as she looked at the children. "I can't here you." The woman's body language only sereved to accentuate her meaning, with hands on her hips and her face in theirs it seemed a menacing task to follow instructions, but doubly worse if they didn't. Zechs cowered back mentally, he hated it when she went into teacher mode, it was one side of her he really didn't like. "Sorry." "I can't hear you." "Sorry," the two kids yelled back. "Good." Noin smiled and backed away. "Jason, Su, you two are going to clean the kitchen, and wherever else you made a food mess, or a generalized pigsty. Zechs you're going to clean up any damage they did in Duo's garage." Jason smiled, he'd have fun with the tires. Zechs however groaned. The woman must have psychic or something, or at least that's what he assumed since Duo's garage was in one huge mess. "I'll take care of Dean. When I get done, I want this place spotless." They all cringed and looked at the floor. "Do we have too?" sang the trio. "Yes, and after you're all finished take out pizza's my treat. Mostly because I'm starving." Jason and Su grinned, and rushed out in a hurry wanting to make sure they got their pizza. Zechs on the other hand lagged behind, and absentmindedly rubbed Dean's hair. "Yes," Noin asked as she came down to sit beside him. "Thank-you." "You're wel..." The last part of the customary phrase was cut off as Zechs kissed her and took off at a quick pace down the hallway. Noin couldn't help but grin in glee as she watched Zechs' figre disappear. She had been waiting a long time for that, and it even made her almost forget that she was covered in puke. Almost being the key word. Lu scooped Dean up carefully and headed towards the bathroom, the little boy needed to be cleaned up. ////////////////////////////////// Heero allowed himself a smirk as he checked the video logs. This was good stuff he had, blackmail really, or he could just have fun and post pictures of the two kissing around Preventers, and wait for the horribly funny aftermath. Both ideas had some potential. Tantalizing treat either way, free babysitting until it was common knowledge that they were seeing each other, or the priceless look on their faces when they saw the pictures or heard about them. Yuy shurgged, he still had some time left to decide. ////////////////////////////////// Noin carefully snuggled Dean into bed, and planted a kiss on his brow. Poor little kid, he'd probably be completely fine in an hour or so though. She sighed and looked about her, then down at her own shirt. She really needed a shower and to get out of this. Finding a suitable shirt from Duo's closet she headed to the shower, this way it gave the others longer to clean up anyway. ////////////////////////////////// Su and Jason looked around Duo's one room and sat down. It was finally clean. One room down a whole lot more to go. "This isn't fair." Jason muttered. "Why do we have to do all the cleaning?" Su whined. "I don't know, but this isn't worth just a pizza. I say we get pay back." Su gave him a scared look as she bit her lower lip. "Is that a good idea. I mean look at what she could have done." Jason groaned and crossed his arms. "I say we only do this." "Ok, ok." Su said shaking her head exuberantly. That didn't sound too bad, the lady would probably take it better then a joke on her. "I"ll go let her know." Su jumped up to her feet and ran out leaving Jason behind her. "Ok," he muttered and relaxed a little, he could easily learn to like the position he was in. /////////////////////////////////// Zechs wiped his hand across his sweaty brow. The work was finished. Boy was he happy for it, which let him contemplate what he had just done however. He had just kissed her, Noin, he hadn't really planned to do it, but he had, and there was no going back on it now. He yawmed, only to look up and find Su racing away, so he followed, right to the shower room door. |
