Bado looked down the forum posts and perked up a little upon seeing Haine's post. He read the short post quickly, frowning at the last sentance instantly knowing the all-too-familiar threat behind it. He had got up early that day and decided to walk around the facility. It was a little difficult at first, but he quickly became accustomed to only having one eye. Bado looked at the time Haine posted, 1:37. "Fuck! THat was twenty minutes ago!" Bado slammed his laptop shut, tucked it under his arm and ran as fast as he could to their room, 16A.

Bado threw the door open completely out of breath and stopped in the doorway. He looked from Haine to the spread on the table, "Haine-kun..." He walked over to where Haine was sitting, set his laptop on the dresser, and hugged his lover tight. "Fuck, I'm so sorry I was late, I didn't see it until just now.. I'm sorry."

[howling_mutt]

"You're definitely late." Haine said, muffled by the red-head's shoulder. He jabbed him playfully in the ribs, and then leaned back, looking up at him. "If I wasn't in such a great mood, you'd be in trouble." The albino stuck his tongue out at Bado and freed himself from his arms, standing and gesturing at the meal he had procured.

"Look! I can kind of cook. Sort of... had to use the microwave and all, but it tastes good!" Haine couldn't stop himself from beaming at his lover, he was so proud of what he'd done.

[bado_nails]

Bado jumped slightly when he was jabbed, making a small surprised sound. "Thanks babe, I kinda like having this socket empty." Bado smile, tapping his newly retreived eye-patch. "Should I where it?"

Bado looked over the meal before him, noticably impressed. He blused slighty, turning back to Haine, "It's.. amazing babe. I..." Bado stopped himself, biting his lip to prevent himself saying something really cheesey. He grabs Haine into a sudden quick hug, hiding his tearing-up eye in Haine's chest. "Thank you."

[howling_mutt]

"You don't have to thank me." Haine ran his fingers through the scarlet locks of hair, planting a kiss on the top of Bado's head. "c'mon, let's eat before it gets any colder." The assassin grinned and took a moment to enjoy the way that the red-head felt against him.

The albino stepped away and sat on the edge of the desk, grabbing a plate and sitting it on his lap because there was only one chair. Crimson eyes locked onto a blue one and Haine gave his lover a toothy grin. He had noticed the tears forming in the red-head's eye, but chose not to comment, knowing that Bado probably would prefer it that way.

"I think this is the first time I've ever been so happy to see you that I didn't care that you were late."

[bado_nails]

Bado nodded and sat in the chair that he assumed was for him. He took a plate and happily started to pile pasta on it before grabbing a fork and digging in. He hummed appreciatively as the flavor seemed to explode in his mouth. "Well I guess that's good for me then," Bado answered between mouthfulls.

He finished his first plate within minutes and started on a second. He took this one a little more slowly, but still ate the entire thing and licked the plate clean. "Babe, this tastes so good!"

[howling_mutt]

Haine ate slowly, almost systematically like he usually did, and could only smile at how much Bado seemed to enjoy his food. He had never been one for domestic comforts. Most of what the albino knew about those sorts of things were out of necessity, survival. Through that however, he had gained a certain level of skill in a handful of things, and it made for a decent italian meal, evidently. He blushed furiously when the red-head complimented his concoction, and shook his head.

"It's nothing, just something I threw together out of what was out there." He muttered with half a mouth-full. Haine hated that he was so easily excited, the heat in his face telling all. The assassin always wanted to be strong, never shaken, and yet Bado could always set his heart to racing, always make his face hot and his knees shake. He wanted this, wanted this even more than he wanted strength.

"I'm happy...as long as you like it."

[bado_nails]

Bado smiled and set down his plate, "Well, I liked it. A lot. So you should be really happy." He rubbed his stomach and let out a contented sigh. He would have put his feet on the desk, but there wasn't much room so he decided not to.

Bado couldn't stop grinning, he knew that Haine had done this just for him and he couldn't stop being happy about it. The red-head probably looked like a mad man, but he didn't seem to care too much. After a moment Bado got up out of his chair and stood in between Haine's legs. "I think this is the nicest thing someone's ever done for me, Haine-kun." He leaned in and kissed the assassin, "Thank you for dinner."

[howling_mutt]

"Bado-kun, I...want to be able to make it stop hurting. I'd do anything to be able to do that for you." He turned his glance sideways, not looking at the red-head. This had been the motivation behind much of what he'd done. Haine was acutely aware of people's suffering, perhaps because he'd suffered so much himself. It was something that he'd learned to ignore, to shut off and numb with whatever he could. But for Bado...the albino almost wanted to feel his pain, share it with him and help to shoulder the burden.

"So...you're welcome. I mean... it's like we have all of the time in the world now. So long as the doctor doesn't get tired of one of us." Haine had meant that as a joke, but the truth was that that thought was horrifying. They'd seen people disappear without a trace from the place before, and it was probably nothing good waiting for those 'terminated' on the other side.

[bado_nails]

"Wha- Haine-kun..?" Bado looked at the assassin questioningly, "What are you talking about?" Haine could have been talking about many things. It was true he'd been hurt a lot in the past and some of it still lingered, but he didn't think they were noticable.

Bado let his hands fall onto Haine's thighs. He began to smile, but at Haine's joke he frowned and looked down. "Duo already said that Heero is missing... Fuck, I don't I can't lose you." He bowed his head and bit his lip, hands squeezing the albino's flesh under them.

[howling_mutt]

"I saw...fuck Bado, I don't think I've ever been so scared for somebody else in my entire life. I mean...what if...You know..." Haine shook his head, and looked at his lap. He moved his slender, pale hands to cover the red-head's in what he hoped would be a comforting gesture. Heero was a formidable guy, not one to let himself just be taken. Haine was usually unconcerned in these sorts of situations. It was one thing if he was targeted, but what if it was Bado?

"I'll fight. I would fight until it killed me if it meant protecting you, or being able to stay with you." The albino didn't want to voice the doubt that had come with that statement. What if the doctor was something that couldn't be fought? Haine leaned down and rested his forehead against Bado's.

[bado_nails]

"What did you see...?" Bado asked softly, a small smile lifting the frown when Haine's hands found his. He laced their fingers together, not wanting to be detached from the albino. "I can't.. Haine... I don't want to leave you, but what.. what if he makes me, I'll do my best. I'll fight to death, but... I'm not as good as you..."

Bado closed his eye tightly, not wanting to spill the tears he knew were coming. He sucked at fighting and he knew it. He couldn't even say how he'd gotten away with his life so many times before. Usually is was Haine that saved him. But, if anything happened to Haine... he'd be a goner, in more ways than one.

[ooc: that icon is so sad! D: i wanna hug him and never let go!]

[howling_mutt]

"I saw Duo's post...and how panicked he is. It hits too close to home...you know?" Haine took a long, shaking breath as he pulled the red-head closer to him in a tight embrace.

"I don't even know...I can't let it happen. I fucking won't." Haine didn't know how he was going to ensure this, but he would do his best. The stray dog gritted his teeth and held onto Bado's shoulders, maybe a little too tight.

[ooc: I know! I couldn't find a single image besides that one that might hint at fear for Haine XD]

[bado_nails]

Bado returned the embrace, fisting his hands in the other's shirt. He nodded in agreement to show he understood, but was to afraid he'd start bawling if he said anything.

"Maybe.." Bado began with a shakey voice. "Maybe if we just hold e-each other tight at night.. They wouldn't be able to t-take either of us.." He tried to smile and he did, but it was out of desperation. Bado kissed Haine deeply, tears rolling down the left side of his face. He tried to put everything he was feeling for the albino into the kiss, hoping that Haine would understand. If oneof them was taken away, now or far from now, he wanted to make each one of their moments together special.

[howling_mutt]

Haine leaned back, cupping the red-head's face in his hands as he desperately tried to wipe away the flood of tears that had started. Letting out a whine, he returned Bado's kiss with fervor, and when he finally pulled back, he rested his face against the red-head's neck. With eyes closed, the albino took several deep breaths against his lover's skin and then straightened up, looking him in the eye.

"We can't think like this. It scares me fuckless, but being terrified never helped anybody. You know me Bado, I've never been scared of a damn thing in my whole life." The assassin shook his head, continuing to gently wipe away the red-head's tears.

[bado_nails]

Bado nodded in agreement, trying to stop his own tears. "You're right. We can't let this get to us Haine-kun." His lip started to quiver slightly before Bado bit it.

"We're both here, and we should make the best of it." Bado leaned his head into the Albino's hand. He stayed that way for a few moments, waiting for the tears to stop. When they did Bado turned and kissed the assassin's white hand. Bado grabbed the front of Haine's shirt and yanked him forward into another deep kiss.

[howling_mutt]

Haine made a soft sound of surprise as his mouth collided with Bado's, but quickly relaxed into the kiss. He reached around and buried his hands in the red-head's hair, prolonging the kiss until he was nearly light-headed. All but panting for breath, the albino slid to his feet and wrapped his arms around his lover, cradling him with a level of gentleness that was always surprising coming from him.

"We're going to be okay." He hoped that he could keep that promise with his whole heart.
