Notes: 'Thought'…..flashback
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A cigarette was lit by a silver lighter with a gun engraved on it surface. He exhaled the smoke that was threatening to go into his lungs and gazed at the city. Night was when he truly went out, when he truly explored. Below him was the bustling of the fancy cars and VIP's that came to the famous club he was standing beneath. People in the city were curious about the place…why? Maybe it was the fact that no one could get in….unless of course if you were apart of the five gangs that were spread across the city.
They wanted to be apart of the dark underworld, they've heard stories of the fast pace lives of ones that were associated with the gangs…
The young man took another drag as his gaze landed on an expensive black limousine that had pulled up near the entrance. The bouncer at the entrance of the club walked slowly but surely to the car and opened the passenger door. The door opened and blonde hair emerged from the car. The man grimaced as he followed the girls movement, it looked as if she was looking for something…or maybe someone.
The other side of the car opened and another blond, but male walked out calmly wearing a smirk on his face. Heero put out his cigarette and stared at the two before they disappeared in the club. It was getting to be about that time, he should probably head downstairs himself. But he was of course, reluctant to do so, after all, any club with a person like Relena Peacecraft residing in was a cause for worry.
With one last glance at the street, Heero walked to the door that was sticking out from the roof and headed downstairs to the underground club. It was already close to being nine o'clock and the man new that it was already getting crowded. As he walked down the stairs he could feel the vibrations of the blaring music coming off the walls. He neared a door and opened it to reveal blue and green lights and sounds of people laughing and flirting. Heero ignored the stares of longing he got from each person he passed and headed over to a table already occupied by a group of people.
"Hello there Heero." said the voice of Quatre.
Heero nodded respectfully to the innocent eyed man before sitting on an empty chair reserved for himself, " What's the damage?" he asked.
The boy laughed lightly, " Just some spilled drinks. But nothing to break out to a fight."
Heero nodded as he eyed his surroundings, it was typically for some hot-headed VIP's to try to cause a brawl with some of the gang members. It usually happened when the place was packed like this.
"Free drink Yuy." said a waitress that placed a tall glass of golden foaming beer in front of him. As she was about to leave Heero latched onto her arm, "By whom?" he asked.
The woman smiled sheepishly, " Who do yah think." she answered before walking away.
Heero couldn't help but growl, "Why does she do this?" he asked in a low tone looking at the liquid, " Were not even going out anymore."
Quatre smiled sweetly, " Would that stop you if you were obsessed with somebody?" he asked.
Heero paused for a second and his eyes diverted to a table across the dance floor that mostly held gangs from the east and north side of the city. Even though the person he had fascinated over since he was a kid wasn't there, the other was still in Heero's thoughts.
"No." he said plainly.
Quatre nodded, " Thought so." he answered, which caused Heero to glare at him, " You were quite obvious in the past." he explained before taking a sip of his scotch.
Heero let out a sigh and moved the drink to the side. He had to be careful, last time when Relena gave him a drink he ended up making out with her in the bathroom. Thankfully he was stopped by Trowa Barton, ( Quatre's current boyfriend) before they could go any farther. Heero shifted uncomfortably in his chair at the memory…never again.
He glanced over to the top level that held most of the VIP's, Relena was starring dead at him.
'Great know she's going to stock me'. thought Heero.
Quatre followed his gaze and muffled a light laugh, " Wow, she's got it bad."
Heero glared, " I don't see what's so funny."
Quatre turned to him, "You should probably find someone quickly," he said, " Looks like she's playing for keeps.
Heero frowned, " Over me dead body."
"I doubt that will stop her." replied Quatre looking at Heero.
The cobalt-eyed boy let out a defeated sigh, 'What a long night.'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A red motorcycle pulled up in front of the club and parked on the sidewalk, all the bouncer could do was smirk as the two riders hopped of the bike and placed their helmets on the bike handle bars. First face revealed was an oval Asian face with fair skin that held a little tan with long streaming hair down the back. She had slanted eyes that showed her to look rather cunning and sharp witted. Her lips were pouty and red from the lipstick she put on. She wore a red dress that had a slit to her right thigh. The dresses top was strapless and very flowy indicating that it was indeed a summer dress.
As she walked toward the bouncer she gave him a quick peck on the cheek before walking inside with her red pumps. From behind her a young man stood putting his keys in his pants pocket. He still wore his motorcycle jacket which was leather with black and white designs on it. On the back was a red design of a Chinese dragon. Like the woman, the mans hair was long and down his back but was braided instead of down. He wore tight black leather pants that showed his slender form. His face was also oval but more tanned then the girls. He had large slanted black eyes. His lips were slightly pink.
The man walked over to the bouncer, " How's it been Ten?"
The larger man shrugged his shoulders before placing his hands in front of him, " Busy, little man. How about you? How was college?"
This time the man shrugged, " Boring but useful…how's the club doing?"
"It's much busier then you will probably remember." answered the man truthfully.
Wufei gave the man a small smile, "That's not surprising." he said before following after the girl.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The club had gotten more packed and Heero found himself maneuvering around people almost everywhere he went. He had just past by the bar when he bumped into someone, unconsciously he said sorry and started walking again.
"That's all you have to say to me after all these years?" came a teasing voice of a woman.
Heero turned around sharply and smirked, " Meiren? Is that really you?"
The woman walked up to him and gave him a chaste hug before pulling away, "Nice to see you again Heero…you've changed."
"So have you." he replied.
There was a slight pause and Heero found his eyes gazing around the club, as if looking for someone.
"He's here you know…" commented Meiren with an evil glint in her eye.
Heero looked surprised or at least tried to, " Who-"
"Don't play dumb with me." she interrupted, " You want to know if I came here with Wufei…the answers yes."
Heero didn't say anything for a couple of minutes he glanced at the bar, " How is he?" he asked not looking at Meiren.
The girl turned his head so he was making contact with him, " He needs to get laid." she said honestly.
Heero resisted to laugh, " And why are you telling me this?"
The girl looked at him in shock, " Because Silly." she began, " I know out of everybody here you want to do to him the most."
Heero didn't comment, his gaze rested on the club entrance and he suddenly froze.
Meiren grinned, " I guess you see him." she said.
Heero still didn't answer, he just kept on looking at the Asian boy walking to a table that was near the left side of the bar. Wufei smiled politely as he shook hands and hugged his teammates before he sat at the table. A red dress came in his vision and Meiren walked behind Wufei and whispered something in his ear. At first Wufei frowned a bit and looked rather confused, then he looked up.
Heero's breath almost caught in his throat as his eyes met with black ones. They both stared at each other for a couple of seconds before Wufei frowned and looked away. Heero sighed, " Same old Wufei." he whispered sadly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duo walked along the dance floor. He carried in his hands three large empty beer mugs. It was his turn to get the refills and it was far to busy for his table to sit and wait for a waiter to come by. Duo neared the bar until he stopped himself and headed to the left. Standing there looking quite dazed was Heero Yuy.
"What's up Yuy, haven't seen you in a while."
Heero glanced at Duo, " Hi Duo." he said rather depressingly.
Duo frowned, " What's the matter buddy? Why so sad?"
Heero gave him a watered down glare, " Nothing." he said walking back to his table.
Duo followed after him, "Come on man. Tell me." he pestered.
Heero turned to Duo and gestured his head further. Duo followed the nod and his eyes landed on Wufei.
" Shit, is that Wufei?" asked Duo more to himself then to Heero.
"Yes." Heero responded.
Duo went on, " He looks so fuckable." he said without thinking.
In seconds Duo was pressed against the wall and looking at Heero's murderous glare. At first Duo was slightly shocked, but then it seemed to click, " Oh…." he said looking at Heero curiously, " That's what's wrong."
Heero grumbled to himself as he let go of Duo, "Sorry Duo." he said, "I just can't seem to turn it off when he's around."
Duo panted Heero on the shoulder, the mugs lay shattered to pieces under their feet, " That's what happens when you have a serious crush on someone."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All that night the tone had been set. After Duo had discovered that Wufei was back he had immediately let himself known to the other. Heck, even Relena had went over to greet the long lost man, but Heero had stayed in place. Simply, it all had to do with the past and even though Heero wanted Wufei to forget about such things, every time the boy looked at him, Heero knew that 'the past' was embedded fresh in his mind. For the longest time Heero wondered if his actions that day were worth not speaking to Wufei for so long, but he couldn't change it...it was already done.
A tap on the shoulder brought him out of his thoughts and Heero turned to see the tall blond hair man that had walked out of the limo earlier that night when he was on the roof.
"Zechs." greeted Heero as he fully turned around, " What brings you here."
The tall man smiled, " Just don't shoot the messenger Yuy." the man answered in a honey toned voice.
Zechs pulled out a medium sized envelope that reeked heavily of expensive perfume.
Heero eyed the note but didn't take it, " …What's it for?"
"Just an invitation." answered the man, " Relena's birthday is coming soon as you know."
Heero nodded grimly, " Yes…but do I have to take it."
Zechs smiled pleasantly," No…but it will save my ass if you did."
Heero sighed heavily as he took the note from Zech's gloved hand. He placed the note on the table, " You owe me."
The blond nodded, " Agreed." and walked away.
Heero took a swing of Quatre's shot that was left abandoned on the table. The blonde had been dancing with Trowa for about twenty minutes strait. Heero glanced at the two, they seemed oblivious to everyone around them. Heero finished the shot quickly, Quatre would probably not come back to get it anyway…
Getting bored out of his mind, Heero looked at the note in front of him, knowing he had nothing to lose the man opened it and skimmed over it's contents. It seemed ordinary and very 'Relena like', the party was to be on the day of her birthday, starting at four. Heero noted how it didn't give the time that the party was going to end. As he sat the note on the table Heero dared to glance up at the balcony. At the moment Relena was talking rather enthusiastically to one of the her friends, Heero figured that the party was just another opportunity for her to try to get into his pants. His eyes went down to the dance floor where everyone was gently swaying to the slow music that started to play.
His gaze rested on Wufei, who was dancing with a girl that had sat at his table with him. His lips were in synch with the lyrics of the song that was playing and the girl he was holding was gazing in his eyes with much affection…and…love? Heero reached for the his beer glass, but found it missing. He looked around and saw a waitress walking away from him, his empty mug sitting on her tray. The man grumbled, this night would be the perfect night to get stinking drunk, but he knew he couldn't…Relena was nearby and keeping a close eye on him, no doubt. And because of her, he knew that his fun was spoiled. So as depression sunk into his body, Heero reached in his pocket and brought out a ten dollar bill. He placed it on the table before exiting the club.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was hours after he left the club that he decided to go home. He had been driving around in his car thinking of the days event in a slow binding pace. Most of his thoughts lingered to Wufei and his sudden appearance back in the city. Heero found out after Wufei left (which had been 3 years ago) that the boy's request to attend college and been accepted by his gangs boss. Meiren (his ex-fiancé) had tagged along as usual.
Heero turned a familiar corner before speeding off down the street. Small pellets of rain started to decorate his windshield as he drove down the abandoned street. He glanced to the left and suddenly stopped his car when he saw the subject of his desires standing against a brick wall smoking a cigarette. In seconds his mind went wild, should he do it? Should he actually approach Wufei? The man didn't seem to notice that he had stopped next to him because at the moment he was lighting the cigarette, but should he risk it?
Heero bravely let down his window as Wufei put away the lighter he was holding.
Wufei's gaze stopped at the car in front of him. He stared at it for a couple of seconds before pushing himself off the wall and walking toward the window.
Heero let out a shaky breath as the Asian man approached, he watched nervously as Wufei stopped briefly once he recognized Heero.
" Yuy." said the man simply.
Heero controlled the urge to drag the man in his car and have his was with him. This was no doubt the closest he had every been from Wufei in about 12 years.
" Chang." he replied.
Heero watch the man take another drag before looking around the street, the rain was falling harder by the second.
" Where's your bike?" Heero asked.
"In the shop." answered Wufei without looking at him.
Heero nodded to himself, " And Mei?" he asked.
Wufei turned to him, " With her boyfriend." he shortly explained.
Heero frowned, he never realized that Meiren had a boyfriend, " Need a lift?" he heard himself ask without hesitation.
Wufei stared at him for a couple of seconds. Heero, never backing down from a challenge stared back, until finally, " I suppose." answered the rather soaked man still looking at Heero emotionless.
But Heero noted that the other still didn't move, " Get in." he said.
Wufei threw his cigarette to the ground, " I'm wet." he stated.
"I don't mind." Heero answered back.
Slowly Wufei's eyes left Heero's and he walked from the drivers side to the passengers. Heero kept his eyes fully on the road in front of him as he heard the door open and close.
He shifted the car's gear to 'drive' before driving off into the night. Nothing was spoken or said, they both were silent. Heero knew that Wufei's place was about 10 minutes away from where they currently were, without hesitation he drove the winding streets to a dark building located in the east side of the city. He stopped in front of a dark brick apartment building and put the car in park. Silence still consumed the car and Wufei glanced at Heero rather curiously as if he was going to say something. Heero turned his head to look at the man, they both stared at each other for a while, that is until Heero saw the corner of Wufei's mouth make a slight curve upwards. The man couldn't help but widen his eyes as Wufei smirk turned into a small ghostly smile.
" You never change do you Heero." he stated looking at him for a couple more seconds before getting out of the car.
Curious about the comment, Heero rolled down the passenger window, " What do you mean?" he asked.
" You've never been to my place before." he said in a matter of fact tone, before entering the building.
Heero rolled up his window and shifted his car back to 'drive'. He drove slowly back to the South side of the city where his apartment resided in, all the while Wufei's comment played in his head. As he reached an empty intersection Heero mind suddenly froze with the realization of what Wufei meant. 'You've never been to my place before…' and Heero hadn't been, in fact he shouldn't of had a clue to where Wufei lived. But he did and that was what Wufei was commenting on…How would Heero know where Wufei lived? The man never gave him directions to his home…Heero had knew, he had always knew….
"Am I that fucking obvious?…" he grumbled to himself.
