Big Time Rush
Part 10
The walkways were crowded, people walking around within the different booths and attractions. I took in the sight of it all, the smells of food and the laughter and chatter of the people passing us by. The place was lit with large paper lanterns, and I squealed with excitement.
"Oh, Hee-chan!" I exclaimed, grasping his hand tightly. He gave me a reassuring squeeze back and I turned to him. "Where would you like to go first, Duo?" He asked, and I frowned, before shrugging. That was the question wasn't it?
"No idea. Where should we start?" The guys looked thoughtful, and I tapped my foot, a finger on my chin. There was just soo many things to see.
"Let's go look at the booths for a bit Duo!" Quatre suggested before pulling my arm toward the many exhibits. "Whoa!Slow down Quat!" I glanced behind me to notice the other's amused expressions, and just shrugged following the little blonde.
Noticing a familiar figure outside a nearby booth, Quatre and I walked over, to the smiling visage of our teacher, Mr. Khushrenada. "Hey, sir! What are you doing here?" I asked, curious as to why my teacher would be spending his time standing in the front of a flashy booth, strobe lights spiraling in different colors, a large stage in the back with a spin table and dj playing tunes to a dancing crowd of people.
"Well, I'm just enjoying the fair for a bit. I just wanted to check out the booth for the Vocals before heading home to finish some paperwork." He smiled, and I nodded, my foot tapping to the rhythmic beat to the song playing. " A lot of people have signed up this year. It's no wonder why." I stopped and turned to look at my teacher, with a confused expression.
"What do you mean sir?" He just chuckled and shook his head. With a small shove, I was pushed into the the booth, arms flailing about, as people near the entrance made room.
"Duo! You made it!"
"Dance with me Duo!"
"No me! Over here!"
"Sing!Sing!Sing!"
I whipped my head, eyes locking on Mr. Khushrenada and my friends, all with amused expressions. Bastards.... I huffed, and folded my arms, before the guys made their way inside. "This is sooo not what I had in mind." Heero shrugged and looked around the booth, noticing the eyes our group. "Wouldn't hurt, would it?"
"Yeah Duo! All your fans are here!Do a little something for them!" Quatre winked as him and Trowa started dancing together. I turned to Wufei, who was looking around. His eyes locked with mine, and he smirked. "Scared Maxwell?"
I shook my head defiantly, and just sighed, before squaring my shoulders, making my way to the center of the floor. So these people wanted a show huh? I'll make this one they'll never forget.
I nodded to the DJ, who threw me a thumbs up and a wireless mic, which I caught in my right hand. I bowed my head, as the crowd stilled, the DJ changing the track. The beat of the song sounded in the loud speakers, and the mass of bodies began to sway.
I smirked, lifted my head and ran the most sensuous gaze I could muster, around the crowd, my smirk growing as a heard a very audible gasps. Finding a pair of piercing cobalt eyes staring, I started.
You were a problem child
Been grounded your whole life
So now you runnin' wild
Playin' with them good girls
No that ain't your style.
You think you're hot shit and I love it
I smirked at him, thrusting my hips, while running a hand slowly down my chest, hearing the whistles and calls as those eyes got wider.
I love it yeah, yeah
The crowd cheered, and I walked around the circle, stopping in front of a small petite brown haired girl, with a wrist band embossed I3DM. I danced into her, her eyes wide as her friends around her stared with wistful expressions. I bent my knees and lowered my body.
Stumblin' but yeah you still lookin hella fine
Keep doin' what your doin' and I'ma make you mine
I made my way up, straightening my body. I lifted a finger and pushed her bottom lip up, closing her mouth that had been hanging open. She blinked, and swooned, falling back to her friends, who caught her, all of them screaming, as I winked and made my way back to the center.
Well you're a hot mess and I'm fallin' for you
And I'm like "hot damn, lemme make you my boo."
'Cuz you can shake it, shake it, shake it
Yeah you know what to do
You're a hot mess
I'm lovin' it hell yes!
The crowd was going wild, and I felt the adrenaline rush. A couple of guys emerged from the crowd behind me and started dancing, following my moevements, giving everyone a show. We kept going with the song, my eyes never leaving Heero's as he began dancing to the song. I fought the urge to moan as I continued, the song coming to a close.
You're a hot mess and I'm falling for you
And I'm like "hot damn, lemme make you my boo."
Cuz' you can shake it, shake it, shake it
Yeah you know what to do
You're a hot mess
I'm lovin' it hell yes!
The crowd was jumping, and everyone began jumping to the music. (Hell yes!) Woo- Hoo!
Hot mess
I'm lovin' it hell yes!
(Hell yes!)
Hot mess
I'm lovin' it hell yes!
There was a roar of applause and I panted, wiping the sweat off my forehead.
"That's was great Duo!"
"Duo!Duo!Duo!"
"WE LOVE YOU DUO!" A chorus of girls shouted, and I waved at them as I made my way back to my friends.
"Duo! That was amazing!" Quatre beamed, as he handed my a small cup of water. I smiled, downing that puppy in one swing, before swinging my arm around his shoulders. "Awww...thanks Quat."
We made our way out of the booth, that just seemed to crackle with heat, and I sighed in relief at the cool air that greeted us. We talked about the passing booths, as we made our way to a nearby food cart. I blushed as Heero pulled out his wallet and paid, handing me a blueberry and watermelon snow cone. I gave him a quick peck on the cheek, before enjoying the icy treat, smiling behind the cone at Hee-chan's slight flush, before enjoying his own treat.
I looked around at our group, and raised an eyebrow at Wufei, staring at his own snow cone thoughtfully. "Something up 'Fei?"
He looked up hastily, at being caught daydreaming and just shook his head. "It's nothing." He said quietly, and I just shrugged. The moment we were alone, I would get out whatever it was that was bothering him.
We made our way around the winding walkways, looking at the different booths and even playing a couple of games. After, we made our way to a mini roller coaster in the center of the enormous courtyard, and I vaguely wondered how on earth they got something like this here.
Heero and I got in first, both tucking the stuff animals we won for each other down in the front of us, as we pulled the safety bar down and snapped it shut. Quatre and Trowa were behind us, and Wuffie brought up the rear in the small compartment.
I looked back and winked at Quatre who looked nervous as the cart began to move. I loved these kinds of coasters, the ones with the water at the end, splashing you just as a camera snaps an embarrassing picture. It was a classic.
The ride was thrilling, with it's sharp turns and twists. I laughed out loud with Heero, Quatre squeaking behind us, and Wufei yelling at the top of his lungs. Finally,we dipped sharply, and there was a splash!as we hit the water below and and a flash illuminated for a second.
The ride came to a halt, and I jumped out, running toward the little table to collect our pictures. I ask for five, and pay for them, rushing back to the guys. "Here, look!" I hand one to each of them, and we at take a moment to look it together. I'm leaning my back against a startled Heero, a grin on my face as I look up, his expression surprised but smiling. Quatre has his eyes shut tightly, mouth opened slightly to make a squeal, his arms tightly around Trowa's right one. Trowa is turned toward Quatre, a hand placed on his cheek in reassurance. I laugh as my eyes travel to Wufei, who is leaning up in his seat, arms stretched out in fists, and smile on his face. We all take a really good picture.
"Wow! Thanks Duo!" Quatre beamed, hugging me tightly, nearly knocking the wind out of me. "Yo-ur *cough * welcome." I huff out, the others giving me small smiles and a nod.
The little blondie let go, and we started walking, wondering where to go to next, when a voice I wasn't expecting called out.
"Heero darling!" We all freeze in our tracks, none of us wanting to turn around. Heero's hand tightly squeezes mine, and I wince at the intense pressure. With my other hand, I pat his thigh lightly. Coming back down to Earth, Heero glances at me and I smile, his hold loosening.
We turn, and low and behold, there's Sylvia Noventia. There goes my evening.
XxXXxx
I narrowed my eyes at the sight of the European actress. What the hell is she doing here? My mind asked, though on the outside I just frowned. "What brings you here, Sylvia?"
"Why you of course silly!" I winced as she rushed up and pushed Duo out of the way, hugging me. I scowled and pushed her to arms length. "What the fuck?" Duo exclaimed angrily.
"Listen, Sylvia. Leave me alone." I made to turn, but suddenly her hand was on my arm, pulling me back to her. "Don't be silly Heero darling! You don't mean that." She leans up and a flash catches my attention.
"There's no paparazzi allowed here Sylvia!" I turn toward the camera people and tense. I nodded to Trowa who understood, and we made our escape by smoke bomb. I grabbed Duo, and we all ran into the crowds.
"After them!" I heard Sylvia screech and I made to run faster. We got to a space between two booths and we filed in. We backed up into the walls, and watched as the crazy photographers, ran passed us along with Sylvia. After a minute I sighed, turning back to Duo. "Sorry about that." He just shrugged, but I could tell he was a little pissed at being pushed aside.
"Why is that crazy onna after you, Yuy?" Wufei asked, raising an eyebrow. I sighed. "She thinks I'm going to marry her." He snorted and shook his head. "Little does she know you prefer something more....omni sexual looking." He looked at Duo and just shook his head, laughing more.
"Hey!" Duo pouted and crossed his arms, as Quatre hid behind his hand, shaking in laughter and Trowa just slightly smiling."Come here, baka." I pulled him close, and gave him a small peck on the lips. There was a flash, and we pulled back quickly, turning our heads. Shit..... The photographers were standing there, their cameras flashing, behind a stunned Sylvia.
"Heero....you're....you're...?!" She whirled, and fainted, one of the photographers grabbing her before she hit the ground. My mind flew to the picture taken on me and Duo kissing and I narrowed my eyes. "Get them." I said calmly.
The photographers scattered, and we all went in different directions. Duo and I went left, Trowa and Quatre going right, with Wufei sprinting down the middle.
A flash of a beige hat alerted me, and we ran faster. The photographer took a sharp left, and we skid to a stop before pursing in the same direction. After a few more sharp turns, the guy skidded into another corner. We were gaining, and in our haste, bumped into a very hard back.
A hand reached out as I fell back, and I instinctively grabbed Duo's. Gaining our balance, I looked up to apologize then stopped as a narrowed pair of green eyes, widened behind squared rimmed glasses. Unruly chocolate locks, and a ruler straight posture, I looked away, my fists tightening.
"Um...Heero? Why....Who's..?" I looked up to find Duo standing between me and the figure, looking from the guy to me and back. I sighed, and bowed before standing up to explain.
"Duo, I'd like you to meet my dad, Odin Lowe-Yuy."
