"So then, we're agreed? To win the 'bet' one of us three has to get Duo Maxwell, the new student all to ourselves. We have to go as far as we can with him, by any means possible one of us has to come out on top, one of us has to land Duo Maxwell to win this bet." Trowa Barton finished staring to his two best friends, Heero Yuy and Chang Wufei who nodded in agreement, all thinking the same thing 'I'm going to win.'
Duo was the new student, a very interesting and very sexy new student. He was friendly, outgoing, always grinning or smiling. Nothing seemed to faze him, or at least that's how he always acted. The teachers adored his outgoing nature, and students enjoyed that he was nice to everyone, it didn't matter who you were. He had immediately caught the attention of Trowa, Heero and Wufei, all three were gay though they had only told each other and a fair few others the three of them couldn't help but be attracted to Duo's gorgeous lithe physique, his beautiful chestnut hair and bright violet eyes. He'd entered the school the previous semester, not in any of their classes but still around enough to catch their attention. Upon the start of this new semester they'd found him in quite a few of their classes.
Wufei smirked, "I wonder if he's even into guys If not this'll be a lot harder for us." Trowa raised his eyebrows and smirked. Heero's scoff drew their attention to their slightly stoic friend.
"Maybe for the two of you" He smirked towards his friends before shaking his head and walking away chuckling quietly.
Trowa's already raised eyebrow went even higher, "He thinks so does he?" He turned to Wufei who looked more than annoyed by Heero's cockiness.
"He's acting like he knows something we don't Trowa" Wufei snarled, Trowa chuckled towards his hot-headed Chinese friend which earned him a scathing look from Wufei.
"Heero always seems like he knows something we don't, your forgetting that trait about him Wufei." Trowa stated running his fingers over the hair that fell perfectly in front of his left eye hiding it from view. Wufei sighed, if he wasn't such good friends with Trowa or Heero he'd be lusting over them like the rest of the school was, but they were instead, his best friends. They were a bit of a mystery to everyone, both tended to be quite and insightful, though Heero tended to be a bit more antisocial and stoic than Trowa. Their drop-dead gorgeous looks, mysterious attitudes, amazing athletic ability earned them such respect that people knew not to get in their way, or piss them off. Wufei smiled, he himself, was considered to have an exotic beauty because of his Chinese traits, such as his dark onyx eyes, his aloof attitude also attracted the attention of the student body who were curious about the Chinese youth.
Wufei blinked and looked around, Trowa was no where to be seen Wufei grumbled and stomped towards the school he hated when Heero or Trowa would slink off like that an leave him alone, even if he himself was guilty of doing the same thing occasionally to his friends.
He entered the class room and took his seat on Trowa's right hand side, Heero on the left, the rest of the students were slowly trickling in after the first lunch bell had rung. That's when he entered, Duo Maxwell talking animatedly to a girl known as Hilde Schbeiker, his braid swinging seductively behind him. He grinned towards another girl who waved enthusiastically at him and Hilde. He heard Trowa give a quiet appreciative comment about Duo's ass in those pants to Heero and heard Heero grunt in agreement.
The teacher, Mrs. Vetra, entered the class and started going on about old projects, and upcoming projects they were to be assigned. She starting talking about the current issues that they were currently covering in their World Issues class then she sprang a new project worth 25 of their grade on them only she could do that with a huge grin on hr face.
"It'll be regarding propaganda and the media's influence on the public, it's a partner project" She watched as the class swelled with happiness her eyes gleamed, "Oh! But I've already chosen who is going to working with whom. No complaining, it's already decided so there will be no switching." She watched the happy faces fall and quickly turn into grumpy glares. Chuckling quietly, she rummaged around on top of her desk for the partners list, a few moments later she located it under a text book and scanned it quickly, pausing for a few moments with her brows knit before giving a small shrug; she looked at her class and smiled. "Okay kiddies, here's the pairings: Achany and Takahashi, Barton and Schbeiker, Chang and Peacecraft, Maxwell and Yuy."She then continued down her list for the rest of the students.
Trowa and Wufei both turned to stare at Heero who was gazing at the teacher nonchalantly; he slowly turned to look at his two friends and smirked his head tilted slightly. "You knew all along? That's what you meant outside, you knew about the pairing project already, and I'm guessing but I think you purposely placed your name beside Maxwell's if it wasn't already there. Didn't you?" Wufei growled out as Trowa looked amused.
Heero continued to smirk, "Yuy 1, Barton 0, and Chang 0. Mission 1; Spend time with him, completed." He then began writing down the notes the teacher was now writing on the whiteboard while ignoring the daggers Wufei was glaring into the side of his head.
Wufei whipped back around in his seat as he seethed snatching his pen he began to write his own notes out turning to speak to Trowa a new glare found itself on his face at Trowa's amused expression towards the whole ordeal. "Trowa, How the hell can you not be annoyed right now? He purposely set himself up to be with Maxwell, to get ahead of us" Wufei hissed he was even more disgruntled when Trowa chuckled quietly.
"Wufei that is the whole point of this, to do whatever it takes for one of us to get Duo Maxwell. We'll all want him, and we'll do whatever it takes to get him, well minus physical harm of ourselves or him, no threatening, no blackmail nothing completely underhanded like that." Trowa whispered he titled his head so both his eyes were visible to Wufei when he said this. Wufei then sighed and nodded. Secretly wanting the eye candy Maxwell for himself; all three of them agreed Duo Maxwell was a nice piece of ass.
