Who: Duo and Bucky
Where: Quiet Carriage
When: Grasshopper, Day 12 (the return to the train after the mission)
What: Bucky's attempt to bring Duo down.
Warnings: No idea yet, honestly!
Somehow Duo managed to get back to the train in one piece and even managed to get to into a shower before everyone started swarming. He could easily have stayed in the shower for an hour or more, but he knew that people would be needing them way more than him. He stayed in long enough to get the worst of the grime off of him and out of his hair (though knew he'd need to wash it again later that day), careful of the tender lump on the side of his head, and changed his clothes.
Once he was done, he headed quickly to his cabin... and paused. With a sigh he slipped in, grabbed some things, and headed out and to one of the quiet rooms.
He slipped into an empty one and sat himself on the table, legs crossed, and slowly started to brush out his hair as he considered his options.
How long had he gone without sleep now? Too long... Alice had knocked him out to stop him doing something stupid. She's actually knocked him the hell out. If that didn't tell him something was wrong he didn't know what did. But he also knew he just couldn't do it. It had been so long now that the idea of settling down and closing his eyes filled him with a fear that had no basis in reality. Duo barely remembered why he was so afraid. Surely by now it would be okay?
And yet, there he was, dark, dark circles under his eyes, pale and draw and lacking the energy to even drag his brush through his damp hair.
