"You don't look so great, Q-man." Duo commented as Trowa subtly assisted Quatre into the room and into a chair at the kitchen table. Heero nodded slightly in agreement. "Everything okay?"

"Quatre just had his wisdom teeth removed." Trowa said quietly as Quatre gave them a weak smile, then flinched and rubbed his cheek. Trowa turned and started filling the kettle for tea.

"The painkillers aren't working." Quatre said, sounding tired. "So things are a little... painful."

"As painful as Relena setting up a portable karaoke station outside of me and Heero's window and singing 'I Want You To Want Me' full volume at three am in the morning?" Duo inquired.

Quatre and Trowa stopped and stared at him. He stared back, an earnest expression on his face. "... Not quite." Quatre finally hesitantly answered. "Did that actually happen?"

Heero shot a glare at Duo. "No."

"Oh. Good." Quatre breathed a quick sigh of relief, one hand over his heart. Trowa resumed putting the kettle on to boil as if he hadn't paused. Duo grinned at their reaction, ignoring a somewhat playful kick to the ankle from Heero's direction. Quatre raised an eyebrow. "Then why did you ask?"

Duo shrugged, his grin tempering into something a little more sheepish and fond. "Distracted you from the pain for a moment, didn't it?"
