Chapter Seven: Photograph

It had been just over two years since that fateful game of Truth or Dare that had sparked the relationship between the former Gundam Pilots. Duo loved his girls dearly, and was beyond happy with them. Even so, he knew that if anyone knew that even one of his lovers was female and that they had a stable five-way relationship, he would be branded a player at the least and his girls would be regarded as sluts. He would never let that happen. His girls were the world to him, and he would severely injure (if not kill) anyone who dared to hurt them whether physically, mentally or emotionally.

In the year and a bit since the end of the war, Duo and his girls had started working for the Preventers, living in one of Quatre's smaller houses on the edge of the city within which the Preventers HQ was located. They refused to work with anyone but each other, and only Sally Po had been let in on the secret of the girls' genders due to her being the only doctor they trusted. They had extracted a vow of secrecy from her so that she didn't tell Une, but the young woman had still congratulated them on their steady relationship with a sincere smile on her face. The five former Gundam pilots were content.

A knock at the front door one morning had Heero grumbling as she detangled herself from the bodies of her lovers, slipping on a loose shirt that hid her breasts (slightly larger than they used to be) and a pair of baggy shorts before stumbling downstairs to the front door as it was knocked on again. She jerked it open with a sleepy glare, and then blinked bleary eyes at the person on the doorstep.

"Relena? What are you doing here at…six-thirty in the morning?" Heero yawned after looking at the clock.

"Sorry I woke you, Heero," Relena said, a concerned look on her face. "Could I come in? There's something I think you need to see." Heero sighed and nodded, stepping aside.

"The living room is the first door to the right," she said as she closed the door behind the honey-blonde girl. "I'm going to wake the others."

"The…others?" Relena asked, blinking in confusion. "I thought you lived with Duo?"

"I do," Heero snorted, heading for the stairs. "And three others. Take a seat and we'll be down soon."

Heero entered the bedroom once more, a small smile on her face when she saw the still-dozing tangle of limbs and bodies that was the four people she loved.

"Relena's here," she said, and Duo groaned from somewhere in the centre of the heap. "She says she has something for me to see. I want you all there just in case she tries something."

"Okay," Quatre yawned as she rolled off the bed onto the floor, standing and stretching. Heero couldn't resist wrapping her arms around the blonde's waist from behind and nibbling the lobe of one ear, one hand drifting up to cup a pert breast and squeeze gently.

"Let her put some clothes on, Hee-chan, or I'm gonna end up jumping one o' ya," Duo yawned as he too slid off the bed and stretched, pulling on a pair of drawstring black pyjama bottoms as Trowa and Wufei also got up, Trowa helping a sleepy Wufei to pull back her black locks after putting her clothes on. In less than two minutes the girls were all in baggy shorts and loose shirts that disguised their gender, with Duo yawning and running a hand through his knee-length brown locks tiredly as he slung the other arm over Heero's shoulders.

"Let's go get the pink princess out of our house," Wufei grumbled. "I want to go back to bed."

"Me too," Trowa admitted softly, covering her mouth as she yawned. The five seventeen-year-olds made their way downstairs and into the living room, wondering what Relena had found that was so important she had to show up before seven a.m.

Relena was seated primly on one armchair when the five ex-terrorists entered the living room, Trowa guiding a stumbling and half-asleep Wufei to one of the couches while Quatre followed with a yawn. Duo had his arm slung over Heero's shoulders, the long-haired brunette smothering a yawn of his own as they sat on the couch opposite the armchair Relena was seated on.

"So what is so important, Relena?" Heero asked a little grumpily. Relena reached into the pocket of her suit jacket and produced a small white square, which she passed to Heero with a slightly sad look on her face. Heero took it, and flipped it over to be greeted with a photograph. It was of a young man with a distinct brown braid down to his thighs, with one arm wrapped around the waist of a young woman in a light blue sundress with short blonde hair. Their faces weren't visible, as the braided youth was quite clearly kissing the daylights out of the woman, who had one arm looped up around his neck.

"I was talking to Dorothy Catalonia the other day and she told me she had seen this happen, and so took a photograph which she sent to me," Relena explained. To her surprise, Heero smiled slightly and passed the photograph to Duo, who examined it for a moment and then started chuckling. He passed the photo on to Trowa, who also chuckled as he showed the blonde and Chinese teens beside him. Relena was shocked when Wufei burst into hearty laughter and Quatre blushed, a sheepish smile on his face.

"How can you smile and laugh?" Relena exploded a moment later. "Heero, your supposedly gay boyfriend was snapped cheating on you with some slut!" The laughter and smiling stopped instantly.

"Don't you ever call her a slut again," Heero growled, glaring darkly at the honey-blonde politician.

"And I never said I was gay," Duo piped up. "I'm bisexual, actually."

"Not to mention Duo would never cheat on one of us," Trowa added calmly. Relena startled, turning towards the green-eyed teen in confusion at the feminine quality of Trowa's voice.

"On…on one of you? What are you talking about?" she asked in bewilderment. Duo snickered.

"Hey, Q, go put on the outfit you wore when we visited your sister." Quatre sighed and shook his head, standing and leaving the room anyway. It was silent until a blonde young woman with short hair wearing a light blue sundress entered the room. Heero gave Duo a push towards the blonde, and getting the hint Duo bounded over to sweep the blonde into a deep kiss as Relena gaped and the others watched.

"W-what?" Relena stammered, and Duo broke the kiss to smirk at her.

"You owe me, Duo," the blonde girl said with Quatre's familiar voice, although the tone was lighter than usual. "Relena, apart from Duo all of us are female. That includes Heero."

"Q-Quatre?" Relena gasped. The blonde woman nodded, and Wufei spoke up as she removed the tie from her hair. It was amazing what a different hairstyle could do to Wufei's appearance.

"Relena, Duo is ours. He would never cheat on us."

"Not if he wanted to keep his balls," Trowa added with a smirk, and Duo winced.

"Must you always threaten them, Tro?" he asked in a slight whine. Heero laughed, her real laugh rather than the creepy 'male' laugh she had used in the war.

"You know she would never go through with it, Duo," Heero stated in her husky alto voice, standing. "Thank you for the picture, Relena. It is hard to get proof of Quatre wearing skirts in public." She gripped Relena's elbow and led her to the door, opening it and giving a polite smile before pushing the girl out and shutting the door firmly. "Good day." She locked the door and headed back to the living room with a smile.
