Title: What's Popularity Gotta Do With It?
Author: chibidark angel
Summary: Duo, Quatre, Hilde, Dorothy and Wufei are the unpopular group in school; Heero, Trowa, Relena, Noin and Zechs are the popular group. Put them together and what do you get? Pairings!
Warnings: YAOI! YURI! If you are offended by guy-on-guy or girl-on-girl action, pleeze turn away now! AU, slight Treize bashing, that's all I can think of now.
Pairings: 1x2, 3x4, 5x6, DxR, HxN
Disclaimer: I do NOT own them, if I did, do you seriously think I'd have let duo stop heero from killing her? No, I'd have made him join in with heero and then go for some good old guy-on-guy action!.
A/N: heydee-hey! Yes another fic, I told myself I wasn't going to do this, but this idea just came to me, mainly from the fact that I read these fics where one of the boys is unpopular and is all upset about it, so he goes to the popular one for help and then they end up falling in love, and while I like those fics and all, I wanted to try something different, though it's probably been done before, but the way I'm doing it is, what if there was a group of unpopular people, but the thing is, they really couldn't give a shit, in fact, it seemed like they wanted to be unpopular? And then there's the popular group, who no one really knows how they're popular, they just are, and then somehow, I don't know yet, but they end up being slammed together, and romance ensues! Anyhoo, here's the prologue, it's more of an introduction to the characters, the actual story will begin in the next chapter, so let me know what you think!
Prologue:
Duo Maxwell was a religious fanatic, always had been. No one knew where it came from: his mother was a yoga-doing aetheist, and his father a spiritual tarot card reader. Most people suspected it cam from his Irish heritage on his mother's side; his grandmother and all her ancestors had been loyal to whatever it was they believed in, and were fierce fighters. Whatever it was, he was set in his ways-he had been an alter-server all through primary school, was now a minister of the Eucharist, and was constantly dressed like a priest- white collar and all.
Hilde Schbeiker was a no-nonsense, don't-give-a-shit kind of girl with a flyaway temper. She would walk sexily and seductively through the halls, a predatory gleam in her eyes, yet she gave every guy that even passed her a glance, a cold, offstandish glare as she strode past. In her first year, when one guy had dared to call out, "Hey Jiggles!" as she passed by, she immediately had him against the wall by the throat, whispering in deadly serious, "Don't try that again, or you'll find yourself one ball short of a man, get it?" The poor boy had nodded, terrified out of his wits, and she immediately tossed him aside, and resumed walking through the hall.
Dorothy Catalonia, was, to put it bluntly, a psychopath. A master of the sword, she embraced violence of any kind, and damn, but she was good at it. Once, after watching the school wrestling team practice, she had tried to give the guys some pointer, but they had simply laughed at her. That was quickly silenced, when she flipped the biggest and best to the ground, effectively pinning him in place. Quickly, she had stood, dusted off her hands and with a drawling, "See ya later fellas," had strode out of the room, while all of the boys just gawked at her retreating figure in amazement. It wasn't long till she was asked to become an assistant coach.
Wufei Chang was an honour-bound, justice-seeking maniac. Always carrying his katana 'Nataku,' he was always pointing out the dishonour in different situations, such as giving nicknames that were silly and disgraceful. He was easily angered, like Hilde, except he would draw his katana; such as the time Treize Kushrenada had called him a 'pansy little fag'. Immediately, he had unsheathed his beloved 'Nataku', and challenged him. Treize still had one or two scars from that incident, and was also missing the tip of his thumb, ensuring his hasty departure of the school.
Quatre Rabera Winner, was, by all appearances, an angel, an innocent little boy, with a halo of golden hair. However, appearances can be deceiving, and Quatre was a prime example of this. At times, he would suddenly slip into the cold, unfeeling bastard mode, and whenever angered, could fly off into a rage, glaring as good as the best, and ranting his head off, preferring verbal violence to physical. He had once reduced a burly-looking sixth year into a blubbering mess of sobs with a couple of angry words and a withering glare… scary.
Now, these were the traits that the outside world saw, and so, they were dubbed the unpopular group. However, once we make our way inside the group, we find that they are different from what people see.
Duo was the happy one, always a bundle of cheerfulness, as he bounced around, joking with the others, while going around in his car, lovingly called 'Shinigami.'
Hilde was a definite flirt, but never flaunted around. She was a bouncy, giggly girl, with the same type of hyperactivity as Duo, who was her 'spiritual brother,' as he was his 'sister'.
Dorothy had a definite witty and unusual humour, which really only the group got, mainly Quatre, as they were best friends. She had a protectiveness over her friends, although they didn't need it, she just generally liked to care for them, which typically involved beating someone up.
Wufei, always stuck to his justice, though after years of being friends with them, he had developed a wild sense of humour, very much like Dorothy, and had discovered a great liking to teasing and messing with Duo.
Quatre was the comforter of the group; he was the shoulder to cry on, and liked to think of himself as protecting his friends emotionally, while Dorothy was physical. He was far from sensitive, and was as strong in the group as anyone else.
One the other side of the popularity scale, we have to popular group in school, consisting of Heero Yuy, Trowa Barton, Relena Peacecraft, Lucrezia Noin and Zechs Merquise.
Heero was the mysterious type. His face a cold, emotionless mask, he was a man of few words, most of those few being monosyllabic grunts. He moved like a panther, in that sleek, stealthy way, unaffected by anyone or anything around him in that way that just made everyone stare at him in awe.
Trowa was, in a way, like Heero. He was a very silent person, only speaking when necessary, and it was very quiet whenever he did talk. He rarely showed any emotion, and no one had ever really seen him smile. It way the was he acted, the way he walked gracefully through the school, they way he looked around as if searching for something of interest, that drew people to him.
Relena was the fashion queen. She had the latest everything, and was always on the ball when it came to the here and now. She was a bit bossy, but was really helpful and kind, with a wicked sense of humour, and a need to see her friends happy.
Lucrezia, not liking her first name for its, as she said, 'perknickityness,' opted for Noin: 'short practical and to the point,' she would grin and insist that everyone call her that name. She was a down-to-earth, no nonsense type of gal, with a fiery temper, balanced by a gentle tenderness towards her friends and those around her.
After being lost in a sea storm and having been adopted for the past sixteen years, Zechs had just been reunited with his sister Relena. Although his real name was Millardo Peacecraft, he had developed a great attachment to his given name, and so, decided to keep it. He had a great sense of honour and sportsmanship, and loved to duel with people, and had often tried to track down the one who had defeated Treize at his master sport, with no success.
Why now, do you ask, are one group popular and the other not? All of the members are very beautiful people, all are very unique, so why? Maybe it's that the unpopular ones never really gave a shit in the first place, whatever it is, only the fates know. And speaking of which, the fates had decided to play a little game- what if these two groups were pushed together?
Sooooooo what do you think? Is it worth continuing, or should I just leave it alone? Pleeze review and let me know, farethee well! ^_^
