Me the Horizon and a set of OTP prompts I found. "Gravity and Oxygen"
It was an unusual mission. One that was on unfamiliar territory. A mission under fluorescent lights and surrounded by far too many civilians. Heero didn’t like their odds of getting out without suffering some form of mental or physical injury. And he did not like the smell coming from the cafe situated at a mid-way point in the store. But he knew that they had an important mission to complete and Heero had a commitment to completing it with his usual efficiency and skill. “Why does a store need a map?” Duo said, scowling at the small square of paper they had obtained at the entrance of the store as they walked through the pretend rooms and shelves of products. Heero shrugged, pushing the cart he had acquired and looking at all the items they passed. The candles. The cushions shaped like sharks. The cactuses. It seemed an alien world to Heero - yes, he had visited stores for essentials - for food and clothes and occasionally even technology or books. But he had never been confronted with so much choice and such a rampant display of consumerism. It was Heero’s idea of hell but living a so-called “normal” civilian life meant trips to buy things they needed for the house. The house he shared with Duo. Another example of how far he’d come in his progress to becoming “normal” in the post-war world. Deciding they had already spent enough time lost in the store, Heero grabbed for the map from Duo’s hands and received an annoyed “hey!” in response for his actions. Heero squinted in the harsh light as he tried to comprehend the schematics of the building that were so poorly rendered on the tiny bit of flimsy paper. “This way,” Heero said decisively having deciphered the location of the target. “Is that an order, Yuy?” Duo asked with a smirk. Heero nodded. “Let’s retrieve the item and complete the mission without delay or casualty.” “Roger that. Mission retrieve office desk is a go…” |
