Author's note: this is what comes of being raised in the country. I wrote
this while listening to the Country song, "Chrome" by Trace Adkins. My
dad's a truck driver, so the inside of a REAL truck driver's cab is a
familiar home to me ^_^ It's actually fun to ride along with a truck
driver. I recommend it to anyone who likes to travel with the breeze.
Anyway, I MAY do a lemon later on, but for now it's just this. Quatre is
out of a home, his dad kicked him out (AU snippet: His dad survived the
explosion) and Duo is the only one who offers him a home. He didn't
mention, however, that he's been a truck driver since he and Hilde split
up. R&R, please. I'm a deprived artist who needs encouragement *whimpers*
Quatre smiled as Duo hung out of the big semi truck, smiling coyly at him "Come one, Quatre! What're you scared of? It's just a truck for cryin out loud!" Quatre put on the shyest grin he could as he climbed up in the truck with Duo
"Well, ok" he said trying to stifle a laugh as Duo jumped into the driver's seat and signaled to the cooler between the two seats.
" It's got everything from beer to TV dinners in it. Take anything ya want out of it. Sorry I don't have anything better." Duo sounded a little sad as he put the keys in the ignition and started up the large truck and honked the horn. Duo gave Quatre a curious look when he didn't even flinch at the sound. Most of the people whom he'd given a ride to would wince or scream when the horn blew, but Quatre just smiled at him.
"Are we ready to go yet, Duo? Quatre said as climbed into the back of the truck and sat his bags on the floor by the wooden cot bed in the back. Duo nodded to him and put his foot down on the gas just a bit to start out
"It is kind of late, if you want to, you can go in the back and relax, maybe take a nap." Duo said as he pulled out of the truck yard, waving to his employer, Who coincidentally was Hilde, as she signaled to him to make sure he knew where he was going. He stuck his head out the window and knocked on the side of his head. He knew is way all over America, going from Oregon to West Virginia would be no rough task. The only rough thing would be keeping his shipment intact. He was taking glass to Fenton's Art Glass to Williamstown. Duo glanced back in the rear-view mirror as Quatre slipped into the back, one of the said TV dinners in hand.
"Do you mind if I...?"Quatre said as he tapped the edge of the Box on the small microwave sat on an end table the microwave barely covered. Duo nodded to him and pulled out onto the main road at a bout 35, working his way up to about 50. He didn't like driving regulation speed at all. "30mph my ass..."He mumbled to himself as he pushed the gas pedal down a bit further and they finally hit the goal of 50. Duo hit the speed control at that exact time, then leaned back in his seat some as Quatre pulled his dinner out of the microwave and started to eat it, hopping onto the soft bed that was most of the room in the back... He looked around at what would be his new home until his dad calmed down. He knew that his dad got mad at him easily, but this time may have taken the cake. He knew he never should have told his own dad his secret.
The back oft he truck was more like a small room. There was a twin-sized bed across the back wall, which took up about 1/2 of the space in the back. Duo had a wooden board set up on a tin coffee table across the bed. Under the board next to the bed was a cardboard set of drawers. Quatre puzzled a bit when he found out it was empty.
I bought it for you when you said you wanted to come. You can put your stuff in there. If it all doesn't fit, we can buy you some boxes like mine at a store on the way..." Duo said as he glanced back again in the rear- view mirror. Quatre smiled at him and held up his two suitcases.
"One of these has clothes; the rest is my trinkets I managed to collect without dad knowing. Do you mind if I set them up with yours?" Quatre asked as he looked across the top of the wooden board that was above the bed. Duo nodded in the mirror. Quatre smiled back at Duo in the mirror and opened the smaller suitcase, setting some of the trinkets that weren't breakable on the top of the painted board. Duo had apparently painted it black with a light blue stripe down its center. The bed felt more like one big soft pillow as he leaned over it and sat a few things down. One was a heavy but small snow globe his sister had given him, another was a cast-iron figurine of a camel that Rashid had handed him as he'd escorted him out the door. Quatre held the figure to his heart for a moment before he sat it down near the back of the board. /I'd hate to have that fall on my head while I'm asleep...wait a minute.../ "Hey, Duo.... What are the sleeping arrangements anyway?" Duo's hands tightened a bit on the steering wheel when Quatre's question sunk in. He'd hoped Quatre wouldn't think of that anytime soon. Duo had just figured he'd pull over to the side of the road or in a truck stop and sleep, letting Quatre explore the town they ended up in until morning, but deep down...Duo wanted them to sleep at the same time, in the bed together... Duo used one hand to steer the truck, as the other discreetly re-adjusted His erection so it would be more comfortable and out Of Quatre's sight. Duo told Quatre the first of his plans, rather than the second, and Quatre nodded. "That's fine with me, but just don't be surprised if you wake up next to me. I get bored easily and I may come back early." Duo cursed Quatre mentally for encouraging his hormones and his ever-present erection. "That's all right, Quatre, but just warn me if you can. Wake me up and tell me. I've had people sneak into bed with me before, and it was less than a heart-warming experience if you know what I mean." Quatre gave Duo a sad look that he knew he wouldn't see. Duo's eyes were locked on the road, staring straight ahead. Quatre knew from Heero what Duo had been through on L2. It wrenched his heart to the bone to know such a wonderful, loving person was molded in such a hellish place. Quatre sat on the bed and leaned on the wood paneling Duo had nailed up to give the place a more house-like feel. He plucked a fork out of the tray of clean silverware by the bed and began to eat his dinner. Duo tossed a personal pizza back onto the floor at Quatre's feet. "Nuke that for me, will ya Quat?" Duo said as he took the cruise control off. They were going onto the interstate. /time to put some real miles between me and that bitch.../Duo thought to himself, then cursed himself for thinking Ill of her. After all it was him that broke them up. He ran his hand through his hair to the braid then pulled the tie out of the end and let it hang.
Quatre couldn't help but stare at him for a minute. With his hair down, Duo looked like a real god up there in the front seat, driving his big black chariot over the paved world we ruled when in this truck of his. Quatre smiled, and took the pizza out of the microwave, then handed it to Duo. "I think a nap is in order, Duo. Wake me up when we stop, if I'm not awake already. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep in here or not." Duo nodded to Quatre when he had finished talking, and Quatre smiled at him as he curled up under the fluffy blanket, black and white with a wolf pack on it. Quatre smiled and remembered what it symbolized. Duo, Zechs, Wufei, Sally, and Une were the wolf pack on the CB he kept hearing chatter occasionally. He stayed awake for about an hour after he had lain down under the blanket, listening quietly to the five talk on their radio.
"So Alpha, how's your pup doing?" He Heard Une say across the radio.
"Just fine, Beta Fem. He's sleeping right now." Duo answered as he smiled back at Quatre, who's eyes were closed, yet open enough to see Duo give him an affectionate smile and reach back to brush his bangs out of his eyes. Quatre saw Une glance back on the scratchy vid screen at what Duo had done. She smiled coyly at Duo.
"So, is our Alpha planning on taking a mate?" Une snapped over the line. Duo shot a glare back at her and pulled the mike to his lips.
"Don't push it, Une..." Duo said, the threat falling quick out of his voice as Quatre sat up and smiled at Une, yawning for effect.
"Hi Lady. How are you today?" He said when Duo held the mike up to him.
"I'm just fine, pup." Une said with a smile. Quatre took no offense to being called pup. He knew how she'd meant it. "But it's not today, it's tonight."
Quatre looked over at the clock. 9:55. "Umm...oops?" /I guess I really did fall asleep for awhile.../ Quatre thought to himself. Duo smiled back at him and mussed his hair around a bit. As if you couldn't tell from this mess you've made of your hair. You certainly toss a lot in your sleep, Quat.
"Hey, I'm out guys. The stop is up here next. Have a good sleep, Alpha, and I'll se you there, Pup." Une said with a wink as the two heard her breaks squeal right before she tuned out. Quatre smiled at Duo and crawled back into the back to get dressed.
"Thanks for letting me talk to Une for a minute, Duo." Quatre said with a smile as he pulled his t-shirt over his head, replacing it with a clean shirt. One with no mud on it and a pair of shorts went in place of his dress khakis. Duo smiled back at Quatre, but turned his eyes back to the road quickly when he caught a glance at what Quatre was doing.
"Don't...ah, don't mention it." Duo stammered as he pulled into the Truck stop. He smiled and waved tiredly to Une, who was waiting in the lot with her Black jeans and red turtleneck on.
Quatre noticed as soon as he went to get out, it was too cold for his choice of clothes. He signaled to Une to go ahead of him to the car she had waiting there for them. She always kept her car strongly secured with her load so she wasn't confined to her truck. She nodded and started towards the car on the other side of the lot as Quatre crawled back into the back of the truck. He pulled open his suitcase and picked out a pair of blue jeans and a long sleeved black tee shirt. He began to strip out of his former clothes and fold them up into the drawers Duo had bought for him. It was just as he began o change his boxers that Duo decided he could stand to see this show anymore, for fear he would jump Quatre right there. He cleared his throat and Quatre nearly jumped out of his skin, but instead he just jumped out of his boxers. He ended up sitting on the floor of the truck, his boxers around his ankles. Duo's eyes grew big, and he tried to look away from Quatre's body, but his eyes were glued. Quatre sat there, frozen in Duo's eyes. Finally Quatre couldn't stand the suspense anymore; he moved quickly forward and pressed his lips hard on Duo's.
For a moment, Duo was too stunned to even move, but as soon as his initial shock wore off, he kissed Quatre back. Feeling his warm lips against Quatre's was bliss for him. His hands however were moving without his consent. His hands were running down Quatre's chest, as Quatre's tongue slipped into Duo's mouth. Duo sucked softly on Quatre's tongue as His fingers gently dusted along Quatre's manhood, electing a shiver and a delicate moan from Quatre. Quatre was a bout to crawl into the bed with Duo when they were both startled by Miidi Une's Car horn beeping loudly at Quatre. Quatre broke the kiss, collecting the clothes he'd chosen and quickly putting them on. He looked back one last time at Duo, who looked very bewildered as he jumped out of the truck door and climbed into Une's car. Duo pulled himself up into the front seat to watch the two pull out together. He sighed to himself, and climbed back into bed, hoping he could sleep with the thoughts of what had just happened scrolling on repeat through his mind. 'What was I thinking?' Duo said to himself quietly as he rolled over onto his back, and began to fall into another fit of insomnia. Quatre was the reason he had broken up wit Hilde, and now his deepest desire had been so close, but taken away/by the blow of a fucking car horn...Damn Une anyway.../ Duo mused to himself as he finally began to fall asleep three hours later...
TA DA! Chapter one! I'm still working tonight, because a lot of the time I don't finish a fic if I don't keep working on it, so I'll hope for more tonight, maybe tomorrow during Computer Class. For now, "See you later, Cowboy" *grins* ^^
Quatre smiled as Duo hung out of the big semi truck, smiling coyly at him "Come one, Quatre! What're you scared of? It's just a truck for cryin out loud!" Quatre put on the shyest grin he could as he climbed up in the truck with Duo
"Well, ok" he said trying to stifle a laugh as Duo jumped into the driver's seat and signaled to the cooler between the two seats.
