It starts off from Heero, to Quatre, to Wufei, then Duo. Sorry to all those Trowa fans, i didn't realize that i haven't wrote in his POV yet.
Big Time Rush
Part 9
"Hey 'Ro? Where do you want this?" I glanced over at Duo, up on another ladder a few feet away from mine and I just shrugged. "There's fine. Maybe just a bit higher." It was the day of the Club Social, and myself along with others were setting up booths for the festivities taking place later tonight in the school's vast courtyard. Judging from the look of things, it was going to be big, maybe even bigger than last year, which was saying something.
"Roger that, Hee-chan!" I watched him lift the banner slightly higher and pin it in place for a moment, before turning back to my own task of tying large balloon sized sneakers to the side of the banner. I carefully stepped down the ladder and clapped my hands together in a wiping fashion. "Looks good."
I turned to find my cousin, Trowa looking at my booth appraisingly. I just nodded and turned my attention back to the booth. It was decked with a large banner, showcasing a red velvet curtain, drawn apart with a large shooting star, the word : CHOREOGRAPHY blazing brightly across. Beyond the banner, stood our ground spot, which we had built a wooden stage on top of.
Numerous shoe tapping and number counts could be heard from the bodies of dancers under my apprenticeship. All of whom dreamed of making it big in the world of body arts, shared the passion, and gave it their all, not that I'd expect anything less of course. I watched as my charges practiced together, pointing out each others weak points and helping each other to reach perfection. I watched as several of them noticed me watching, giving me and smile and a wave, before returning to practice. I just smiled, and clapped my hands for their attention. At once, they fell silence and stilled in their movements, all eyes on me. I felt myself swell with pride.
"Ok, everyone. Now that the booth is finished, the only thing left to do is get down the new routine. So..." I looked around, and raised an eyebrow, before smirking. "Show me what you've got."
The first song started, and I waited as the dancers began to move, hitting their first moves explosively.
I'm gonna take my time.
She gon' get hers before I.
I'm gonna take it slow.
I'm not gonna rush to stroll.
So she can get a, sexual seduction.
So i can get a, sexual seduction.
So we can get a,sexual seduction.
Sexual seduction, whoa whoa
The guys busted into their first moves, jumping unto their hands and back unto their feet, leading to fall on the ground and rolling before jumping back up and meeting the girls in the front. The pairs started dancing together and I turned to find Duo next to me, with that same awed expression when a group performed.
She might be with him, but she's thinkin' bout me, me, me.
We don' go to the mall, we don' go out to eat, eat, eat.
All that we ever do is play in the sheets, sheets, sheets.
Smoke us a cigarette, and go back to sleep, sleep, sleep,
cause we done got a,
I smirked, as the song changed, and I slide to the front, dead center.
I'm bringing sexy back
Them other boys don't know how to act
I think you're special, what's behind your back?
So turn around and I'll pick up the slack.
Take 'em to the bridge
The group of guys backed me up , as I kept my eyes on Duo, whose jaw had dropped, eyes as wide as fine china. I was tempted to smile, but I was intent on making him drool. Heh. Point 1 for Yuy. I ran my hands up and down my chest, my hips thrusting forward, executing my routine with the music. My eyes never leaving his as me and my group moved to the bridge.
Dirty babe
You see the shackles
Baby I'm your slave
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave
It's just that no one makes me feel this way
Take 'em to the chorus
I got on my knees, sliding my back down, bringing my hands up in a mock manner of getting cuffed. Duo's eyes almost flew out of his sockets, and I smiled playfully, licking my lips, then biting on my lower lip, rocking my body as I made to get up.
Get your sexy on
Go ahead get on with it
Get your sexy on....
As the song came to and end, I gave Duo one last look, and turned, clapping my hands to get the dancer's attention. " Good, everyone. I think we're ready for tonight." I watched their eyes light up and beam, but I had to keep my rep as strict mentor lest anyone get sloppy. "But don't get overconfident. Practice the routine again." I turned, and grabbed a towel, wiping off the sweat from my neck, before throwing it over one of the rails that enclosed our space, and made my way back to Duo.
"So, how was it?" I asked, smirking as he quickly snapped out of his trance after realizing I was talking to him, a sheepish grin on his face. "You were awesome, Hee-chan!" He gushed, and my chest felt like it was about to burst. Yeah, sure I got complimented all the time, but coming from Duo...it felt a lot better coming from him because it sounded so genuine. I just smiled as we made our way through the courtyard, waving at the other guys as we made our way pass them, Duo giving them thumbs up at their booths. "Thanks. Let's get ready for tonight, shall we?"
xxXXxx
"Um....Mister Quatre?" I turned, a slight frown on my face, as I noticed the formal term used to address me. The face of one of the violin newbies met mine, his entire form wrecked with nervousness and anxiety. Doing a quick check in my mind, I recalled his name as Joe.
"Yes, Joe?" I asked pleasantly, hoping to ease some of the boy's tension, as it affected me quite strongly as well. I flinched as he tensed somemore, my chest feeling too tight.
"Mr. Trowa asked me to tell you he's here." He rose a shaky hand and pointed to the entrance of our booth. Low and behold, there was Trowa, leaning against one of the banner poles, arms crossed, his body relaxed. He raised his hand, and gave a small little wave, and I waved back feebly.
I turned back to the boy and gave him a smile, as well as a pat on the shoulder. "Thank you Joe." He beamed at me in disbelief, and I felt a burst of joy emanate from him, before he turned and walked back to his friends, whispering to them excitedly and glancing at me.
I made my way to Trowa slowly, and upon reaching him, looked up at him shyly behind my blonde locks. "Hello, little one." He greeted softly, and I felt a hot tingly sensation creep up from my neck to my face. "Hi." I replied just as softly, and offered him a small shy smile, which he returned with one of his own.
"Care to walk around with me? Or are you still busy setting up?" He's gaze shifted from me, to the booth behind me, and I turned, seeing everything in place. I just shook my head and turned back to him. "I think we're just about done. They don't really need me around here for anything else." he just nodded, and we made our way out unto the middle of the walkway, my head turning back and forth at many of the booths there.
Aside from showcasing the various musical and artistic fields our school had to offer as majors to the new students, we also had booths with games and prizes, some rides like a ferris wheel and the carousel, and food carts as well as booths already preparing the food needed for tonight. "Looks like everyone's really into it this year." I commented, as we passed by the architectural arts booth, beyond the banner, full scale models of future commercial and industrial building designs all showcased around their plot, cardboard cuts outs lining the background of the booth.
"Yeah." He agreed, and we continued to walk, until we came across a wall of green, colors protruding from random patches within the green, which upon closer inspection i realized was flower bushes. We made our way into the horticulture booth, and I gasped at the many floral arrangements around the table. They were simple, but they looked utterly professional.
Trowa wandered over to another part of the booth while I admired a particular arrangement focusing on the desert rose. Just as I was about to reach out and touch it, and hand softly grabbed my wrist and I looked up into the smiling face of Sarah, a soft spoken girl in my class. She smiled at me and shoo her head gently.
"Um...sorry Quatre. But people aren't allowed to touch the arrangements." She informed me, looking very sad about having to do so. I shook my head and smiled.
"No, it's ok. I'm to blame for not thinking. Forgive me, it's just that this is the flower of my homeland."She nodded in understanding, and I just sighed. "Thank you anyway."
I missed the desert. I missed my Maganac family. Yes, they were my bodyguards hired to protect me whenever I left for home, but they were also my family. Rashid, the leader of the guards, I was especially close to. He looked after me when I was young, never leaving my side whenever I decided to venture outside the complex. He had even put up with the childish antics, but was never really stern with me. In many ways, I regarded him like a big brother, and with the sight of the desert rose, the pain of missing him and the entire Maganacs grew stronger.
"Ready to look around some more?" I looked up, and forced a smile at Trowa, as he wandered back to me. I just nodded, and we left the showcase. I waved goodbye to Sarah, who smiled, a mysterious twinkling in her eyes. She seemed to be very much in anticipation for something, and left me feeling very hopeful.
After walking around a while, my eyebrow rose as Trowa led me to a bench just outside all the hustle and bustle of the carnival, a peaceful silence surrounding us. We sat down and said nothing for a while, Trowa extending his long legs out, crossed in front of him, me wondering what was going on. I could feel a slight excitedness emanating from Trowa and my curiosity rose. What could be making Trowa so
lifted?
Wrapped in my own thoughts, I barely heard Trowa call my name. "Quatre." I turned, and as my eyes caught something pinch between two fingers, they widened. It was a desert rose. With shaky hands, I reached out to Trowa's extended hand, and carefully took the rose. My throat felt raw and my eyes suddenly felt wet as a burst of happiness exploded from within me. "Quatre?" Trowa sounded concerned , and I just laughed before throwing myself on him. Trowa quickly sat up, catching me.
"Trowa!" I hugged his neck tightly, and felt him smile before wrapping his arms around me as I sat in his lap. "Thank you." I whispered, hugging him tighter. "Anything for you, my little one." He tilted his head a bit to kiss me on the cheek, before returning to cuddling with me once more.
XxXXxx
I looked around his booth, nodding in satisfaction. It was adorned with reds, oranges, and yellow, giving the feel of a tribal bon fire. The drums were set up, and everyone was practicing. I gave a short nod to my drum mate Kino, before leaving to get ready for night ahead.
Walking home, my thoughts drifted to the stranger with platinum blonde, and sky blue eyes. To the kisses we shared that day we met each other, along with the ones we received, as both of subconsciously met the next day.
I felt something stir with in my chest, and furrowed my brow at this confusing feeling. It was as though I had just run a thousand miles how breathless I got whenever I allowed my thoughts to stray that far to the stranger. Seeing that I was already outside my own front door, I sighed frustratedly at myself. And this attentiveness problem...was just that. A problem.
"I'm home." I called out, and as expected I heard the pitter patter of my baby dragon sister before her bounding form entered the hall and leaped into my arms."Wu-wu!" She wailed happily, wrapping her chubby arms around my neck tightly, almost suffocating me to death.
"Hello, Mei." I smiled and kissed my sister on the cheek as she pulled away and squirmed to be put down. After setting her on the ground, she grabbed my head, and attempted to pull me into the living room. "Coom Wu-Wu! Coom!"
"Alright, alright." I allowed her to drag me to the little coffe table, now loaded with crayons and paper everywhere. She wobbly ran to the other side of the table and held up a colored kanji of her name, looking at me expectantly. "Is it pritty Wu-wu?"
I just nodded and patted her head, as she smiled and ran to the stairs, where she slowed down and made her way up slowly, probably to hang it on her wall of drawings I deemed 'pritty'. Which pritty- I mean pretty much meant all of them. So I couldn't stand making Mei cry, so what? Got a problem? Thought not.
I greeted my grandparents, and made my way up to my room. I finished my homework, showered and dressed. Before leaving, I tucked Mei in, after reading her favorite story to her, something about a cat and a mouse. I kissed her forehead and waited until she nodded off the sleep before leaving. Sweet dreams baby dragon.
XxXXxx
I looked around in wonder as me and Hee-chan waited for the other guys to show up outside the gate. The lights and music reached our ears from the courtyard and I couldn't' wait to enjoy the festivities.
"Hee-chan!" I whined after what felt like five hours, which turned out to be only five minutes. "Duo, love. Patience." I rolled my eyes as Heero laughed at me.
"Sorry we're late." I turned to find Quatre running up to me, with Trowa and Wufei walking not too far behind. "Thank god! I was about ready to ditch you." I nudged Quatre playfully, before swinging my arms around his neck.
"There's not that much to fuss over, Maxwell." Wufei commented, but by the look in his eyes, I could tell he was amused. "Maybe not to you!You guys have seen it all already! I haven't." I smirked in satisfaction as no one commented against me.
"Don't worry, Duo!" Quatre hurriedly said. " We'll make sure this is a night you'll never forget!" I smiled at him and the rest nodded, as we made our way to the carnival. Little did we know just how right Quatre prediction was going to turn out to be.
