Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, if I did all the pairings that are obvious and never happen would actually happen.

This is what happens when I'm bored, can't get to sleep and have been thinking about Gundam Wing all day.

Sleeplessness and Midnight Escapades

Duo stared at the ceiling. He couldn't get to sleep and he was bored, very bored. He didn't like being bored so he got up and contemplated what to do to amuse himself. An evil grin quickly spread across his face and he crept out of the room quietly giggling to himself. The Gundam pilots' rooms were well spread out over Quatre's mansion; Duo, Quatre and Trowa were on the same floor and Heero and Wufei's rooms were on the floor below. Duo silently went down the stairs and headed for the room of the perfect soldier.

Duo knew that Heero was a light sleeper so he tiptoed in and quickly got to work. His weapon of opportunity: A marker pen. The American leaned over his comrade and began to doodle, poised to run if Heero began to stir. When he was finished Heero's face was beautifully decorated with flowers, hearts and little creatures (Which were Duo's attempt at bunnies) The Shinigami left just as he had come, except he was prone to little fits of laughter at the thought of what he had just done. Then his mischievous brain set to work. Why stop at Heero?

Duo half ran to his room to retrieve the clown make-up he'd 'borrowed' from Trowa (He'd actually wondered how waterproof the grease paint was, painted himself purple from head to toe and took a shower. Unfortunately for Duo it was very waterproof and he remained purple for three days. Much to the amusement of the others) then he snuck back down to Wufei's room. Wufei sleeps like the dead so Duo knew that he could go to town, hence the 'borrowed' make-up.

When he reached the lower levels of the winner mansion Duo entered Wufei's room with his usual stealth. Luckily, Wufei was face up so Duo got to work. Ten minutes later Wufei had a tiger face, it was the most honourable anime the American could think of at four in the morning. Since Duo wasn't the best artist in the world, especially in the dark, Wufei didn't look much like a tiger. More like an orange stripy monstrosity. Duo left the room in silent laughter and returned the clown make-up to his desk drawer. Then he was the pair of scissors on his desk and his evil grin returned 'I wonder what Trowa would look like without bangs' he thought. The Shinigami grabbed the scissors and headed down the hall.

He passed Quatre's room on the way and the door was slightly ajar. 'That's weird Q always sleeps with the door closed' Duo then shrugged the thought away and carried on down the hall. He reached Trowa's room and quietly opened the door; he walked over to the bed and then stopped. 'Trowa isn't that big' He carefully stepped forward and gasped slightly as he realised that there wasn't just Trowa in the bed. In the gloom he could just make out a blonde head resting on Trowa's chest. 'No, it couldn't be' Duo crept closer and couldn't keep quiet anymore "Quatre!" the blonde head jerked up and quickly looked around. The Arabian squeaked and pulled the bed covers up to his chin" Duo! What re you doing here?"

"Erm, that's beside the point. What re YOU doing here?" It was then that Duo noticed there were clothes all over the floor. He decided to take a step back from the bed; just in case.

"Trowa and I were just... talking... yep, just talking"

"He's not that dumb Quatre. We'll have to tell him" said Trowa, who had quietly been watching them "Quatre and I have been seeing each other for about a month now"

Duo stared in disbelief "A month! Right under our noses? We're good spies aren't we?"

Quatre smiled "Mine and Trowa's training was to stay hidden remember"

"Oh yeah" Suddenly they all froze. It was Heero and Wufei's alarm clocks. Duo had forgotten that they both got up at four thirty. He wondered whether he should start running now. Those two worked like clockwork, they'd be looking in the mirror in 3... 2... 1... "AHH!"

Heero's voice, deep with anger yelled "DUO!" then they heard Wufei's, a little higher than usual "MAXWELL!" Soon, the pounding of feet coming up the stairs could be heard. Quatre hastily began to gather his clothes "Duo! Get out of here! They'll come in!"

"Right!" Duo swiftly ran out into the hall and almost collided with Wufei and Heero

"You are in SO much trouble Maxwell!" Wufei growled. The American tried his best innocent look "Why do you always think it was me?"

"Because 99.9% of the time it is you"

"All right Heero, no need for numbers. I'm just saying that you two almost have it in for me"

"That would be because, right now, we do!" Heero noted what room Duo had just come out of "What did you do to Trowa?"

"Nothing!" Duo blocked the doorway "Your alarms interrupted me" In blocking the door Duo displayed the scissors in his hand. Wufei looked at them.

"I don't believe you" he said and stormed past. Trowa was sitting on his bed, alone, with all of his hair. "Are you alright Trowa?" Heero asked, he then growled as Trowa started to smirk at the pictures on the perfect soldier's face. He then burst out laughing at the sight of Wufei. At this, they decided that Trowa was fine and turned back to Duo whom Wufei walked up to, "Don't worry Maxwell, we're not going to do anything to you" Duo sighed but then Heero chimed in "Not yet anyway" Duo looked like this (O.O) "One day we'll get you back for this, you wont know when and it'll be when you least expect it" They then turned and left.

"That's scarier than them actually doing something to me" Duo said to Trowa "Where'd Q go?" A giggle from under the bed answered him, then a fully clothed Quatre immerged. "That was funny" He then became serious "You won't tell them about me and Trowa will you?"

"No, your secret's safe with me" Quatre smiled and Trowa put his arm around him and planted a kiss on his cheek. Somehow, it just looked right to Duo, like they fitted together. Suddenly he felt tired and wanted his bed. "Goodnight you two" he then walked up to his room, contemplating what Heero and Wufei were going to eventually do to him and how Quatre and Trowa had got together "All of this because I was bored? Sheesh!"

Yay! Finished! Remember to RR!!!
