four years ago....
I would have sucker punched myself. Seriously. Really, I knew this prior to seeing if my old identity still existed on the internet. Well, it does, and holy shit, it's embarrassing. By my "old identity" I mean my old fanfictions. Ughghhhh, sooo baaaad. I was unfortunately inspired to do so by badfic, which I regret because now I feel like a retard.
Anyway, enjoy:
BEFORE
Kai walked slowly up the steps and looked up. There was a sign something he dreaded. He was being moved, AGAIN. Now to Block 400, and District 6. That isn’t too far, he thought. Wonder who my new roommate is?
Kai slowly walked, holding his bag tightly in his hand. This seriously was taking out time for his homework. He grumbled about the stupid Dean, and her dumb friends.
He looked up, making it to the Dorm. Finally, he thought. He walked up and opened the small mailbox beside the plain black door. He opened it and pulled out the new key. He noticed the other key sitting there in wait, jeez where’s the new roommate?
Just as if on cue, the raven-haired beauty from the courtyard walked worriedly from the side of the house. He looked up and saw the key in Kai’s hand.
“You found it!” He exclaimed looking at the key.
“What? Didn’t you read the manual? All student’s being moved will find their new keys in the mailboxes,” Kai said matter-o-factly.
Rei stood there with a blank look on his face. “Really?”
Kai ignored his question. “Is this your Dorm?” He asked.
“Yeah, it’s my new one, the Dean transferred me here.”
“Me too” Kai said opening the door and letting it swing open.
There sat in large tall piles, plain brown boxes. Each said either “KAI” or “REI”, in big fat sloppy letters. The room was crowded with these miniature towers.
Rei sighed as he stepped inside. He looked around putting his hands on his hips. He pouted. “How are we going to get through all of this by lights out?” he asked, still pouting.
“We don’t” Kai said walking to the bunk beds covered in boxes. He picked them up and placed them on top of other piles. “Do you want top or bottom?”
“What?” Rei asked looking over at him.
“Do you want top or bottom bunk?” Kai asked turning to face him.
“I like being on the bottom,” Rei said joyfully as he bounced onto the bottom bunk.
“Then I’ll have top,” Kai said picking up a box with “KAI” written on it.
He rummaged through it and pulled out a pair of boxers and a T-shirt. “I’m going to take a shower,” he said before maneuvering his way through the boxes to the hidden bathroom door.
“Okay” Rei called as the bathroom door slid shut with a snap. “I’ll just sit here, and do...nothing” he mumbled.
Soon Rei’s thoughts began to wander as he rummaged through a box labeled REI. He began thinking if what Lee said was true. Was this Kai guy really not a people person? I mean he didn’t seem like a jerk...
Rei pulled out a black T-shirt and a pair of black boxers and began to unbutton his school uniform. He decided the minute Kai comes out of the shower they will have a proper introduction, that way maybe they could become friends.
AFTER
"So, gentlemen," Duo said loudly, bringing Heero back into the present with a sharp jolt of focus. "Let's discuss objectives. I have for you, each individualized missions that---"
"Wait," Wufei cut in suddenly, letting some of his confusion flicker across his face. "I didn't realize I'd be taking oders from an informant."
"No, Chang, he is not," Une spoke for the second time since they'd been in there---Heero's eyes flicked to the clock---forty five minutes ago. "However, he is our informant and I have consulted with him to form your assignments."
"Yes, so, each of you will be vital in bringing down the Order," Duo continued, not missing a beat. He moved about the room, handing out folders as he went. "We have to do this quick, under two months. I understand it seems...sudden and is probably a bit daunting starting so late in the game, but it will have to be. No one anticipated an uprising so soon."
"When did you expect it?" Quatre asked, head bent over in his folder.
"In two years, at least," Duo answered just arriving at Heero and handing him the folder with a smile. Heero blinked and nodded his head in return, taking the thick packet. He sat it on the table beside him, preferring to look it over later in private. Duo didn't move far from Heero, standing behind the vacant chair two seats away from the Japanese man. "They seemed content merely collecting and amassing members instead of acting on anything they preached. Only recently have they been planning any actual attacks or movements. It’s mostly because they had no proper footing---no one in their group has any power."
"What I want to know," Trowa asked, sitting up and setting his folder gently on the table before him, turning in his chair where he sat at the end of the table to look at Duo better from his vantage. "Is how you got involved with a terrorist group of such insignificance that's stationed in Dubai."
Heero mentally balked at the question, eyes a little wide as he turned to look from the formerly silent man to the one briefing them. All eyes went to Duo. The man, for the first time since they'd started, had lost his perpetual smile and a small line had formed between his eyebrows. "Well, Trowa," he began smoothly, canting his head to the side to regard the man challenging him. "The Order, unfortunately, got their start on L2. I'd like to say more but this is all in the report and I need to keep this short."
Trowa surprisingly looked satisfied, leaning back in his chair, seeming to acquiesce to the answer or lack thereof to his question. Heero wasn't sure what that interaction had been about and he filed it away for later inspection. Duo moved back to the front of the table beside Une who gave him a small glance Heero couldn't decipher.
"Alright, moving on then," the L2 pilot began, shutting the laptop with a quick snap and offering them all a grin. "Assignments. Quatre, you will be contacting the Order "secretly" to support their cause. Your reason, in short, is that Winner Enterprises is losing funds due to the new government revenues. At the same time, I'd like you to be working with Une to formulate plan B---should we all fail."
Pity and weep for me.
