It was the day after the skating trip and everyone was in the mansion, trying to find something or another to do. Everyone was bored and had nothing really planned for the day. Quatre sat in his study doodling on a piece of paper, trying to figure out what to do. Meanwhile Duo was in the living room trying to read his comics, that he had finished, all of them, yesterday after the skating trip.
He sighed and lazily dropped the comic he was reading in between the couch and coffee table "I'm soo bored!" and leaned back against the couch, slouching.
Hoshi was off trying to draw, of which had become a much more challenge than she thought. So far all she had gotten was...well nothing. She sat there, outside under a tree trying to draw something...anything! But nothing came out on the white piece of paper.
Wufei was meditating in the library peacefully...well that was until a braided man decided to break the peace and quiet of the room and busted in singing "I'm bored...so, so bored, nothing to do, nothing to do what should I do? So bored, so..." and that is when Wufei snapped "Shut up you braided idiot! Either shut up or get out of here. I don't care which." snapped Wufei as he went back to meditate.
Duo smiled down at Wufei "Hey Wu-man. I'm so bored. Want to do something with me to cure me of my boredom?" grinned Duo.
Wufei's eye brow twitched, irritated and annoyed with the braided man before him "No Maxwell, I am trying to meditate. Now leave." his brow stopped twitching as he went back to concentrating on his meditating.
Duo leaned over Wufei's shoulders and said pleadingly "Come on Wu-man, just for a little bit...please" Duo begged.
Wufei snapped and shouted "Get out!"
At which the braided man scrambled for the door and slamming the door behind him.
Wufei sighted "Finally." and went back to his meditation. Not knowing when Duo would be back because he always came back, he was like the common cold, he never stayed away too long.
Quatre had decided to visit Heero in his room, he grabbed a book and headed to Heero's room. When he arrived Heero was on his computer, typing swiftly and quickly, big surprise there. Quatre smiled, shook his head and took a seat on Heero's bed.
Heero, not looking away from the computer asked "Bored?"
Quatre shook his head "Yes, very. So I thought I'd come in here to visit."
Heero stopped his typing and turned around "What do you want to do?"
Quatre shrugged and Heero got up from his work and motion for Quatre to scoot over. The blond moved over and Heero sat down on the bed, then he brought his arms over to the blond and pulled him between his legs. There the blond sat, between Heero's legs.
Quatre looked up at Heero "What are we..." he stopped looked up at Heero, who had grabbed a book on computer technology and started to read it. Heero had one arm wrapped around Quatre's waist and the other held up the book. Quatre giggled and shook his head. He too began to read his book. Both men comfortable and one finally found something to do.
Trowa was in the back yard, in the forest visiting the animals. He had one lion laying on his lap and he had a squirrel on his shoulder munching on a nut. He smiled down at the lion and smiled up at the squirrel.
He looked up quickly when heard someone yell loudly "Maxwell! I'm going to cut off your head and silence you!"
He shook his head slowly, knowing what was going on. Though he didn't want to leave, he knew that if there was going to be any peace and quiet he would have to calm the raging Chinese man and talk to Duo about annoying Wufei. He got up from his spot to make his way to the mansion. On his way there, as he was coming out of the forest he spotted Hoshi getting up from her position under the tree. He walked up to her and they both looked at the mansion as they heard crashing and banging.
Hoshi shook her head and said with a sigh "Duo. Can't you leave Wufei alone for a day."
Trowa spoke up "I do not think he could, if he tried. It is in his nature to...annoy Wufei, sadly. "
Hoshi just laughed a bit and said "Shall we try to rescue Duo from his doom..." another crashing sound came with a clattering of some object and a breaking of another "...and maybe from destroying Quatre's house?" Hoshi grinned.
Trowa simply nodded his head and they both headed back into the mansion.
Quatre was just getting to the good parts of the book when he heard "Maxwell! I'm going to cut off your head and silence you!"
Quatre shook his head and Heero just rolled his eyes and went back to reading his book, that is until someone burst into the room. Both thought it would be Duo, bursting so violently through the room, perhaps trying to fine a place to hide from Wufei's sword. Both were wrong, Wufei stood there in the door way, huffing and puffing. He then approached the pair and looked down at Quatre, who saw irritation in the black haired man's eyes.
"Winner...do something about Maxwell before I cut off more than his braid." threatened Wufei as he pointed his sword to the doorway, where Duo stood, leaning against the door frame huffing and puffing as well.
Trowa and Hoshi made it up to the second floor, where the rooms were. They saw half of Duo's body leaning agaisnt Heero's door frame and knew Wufei was close by, closer than they thought he was.
Hoshi walked up to Duo and asked "Duo, where is Wufei and what did you do this time?" she asked as she crossed her arms over her chest.
Duo grinned "I just asked him to do something with me, because I was bored." he shrugged.
Wufei came up to the door and said in an irritated tone "And he kept coming back and back." he gritted his teeth.
Quatre stood from the bed and walked over to the two before another free for all could break out "Now, now. Why don't we all do something." he looked at Trowa "Trowa, music room."
Trowa nodded and Heero got off the bed and followed everyone to the music room. Once there Quatre picked up his violin and Trowa his flute. On the way to the music room the two had talked about what they were going to play. As everyone filed into the music room each person took a seat or stood against the wall. Quatre and Trowa went over to the instruments and picked up the one they were most talented with. For Quatre it was the violin and for Trowa his trusty flute.
Quatre readied his violin- tucked under his chin and his bow ready- Trowa readied his flute- fingers placed over the correct holes and mouth readied. Quatre waited for Trowa to give the signal to begin and with a slight nod of Trowa's head Quatre slid his bow over the strings creating a smooth and sweet melody that everyone started to sway to. With the combination of Quatre's violin and Trowas flute it created a Celtic or Irish rythem that was very soothing to the ears and spirit. Everyone though at first that it was odd Quatre would play something like a Celtic or Irish tune...something that was also considered a jig. Quatre and Trowa were having fun creating a rythem that the other's were enjoying. Hoshi and Duo were bouncing in place happily while Wufei just smirked and was happy that Duo wasn't bothering him anymore. They then noticed Quatre quicken the pace of the music while Trowa paused as he grinned at Quatre who grinned goofyly back. As Quatre continued to play faster Hoshi jogged over to Heero and started to dance around with him. The blue eyed man shot Quatre a look saying I'll get you for this later. Quatre blushed, smiled with a look that said I'm sorry. Heero just smiled back all the same, shaking his head. Hoshi noticed that Heero wasn't really joining in to dance with her so she just turned to take Wufei's hands but saw the look he was giving her and so she veered over to her boyfriend.
"May I have this dance young sir?" Hoshi asked as she bowed.
Duo laughed and then he bowed back "Why but of course my lady." and they both laughed and stared to dance around and around to the beat of the music. This lasted a good hour or two with Trowa and Quatre both playing tag with the music. Bot were doing simple dances that let them both dance and play music. In short it was fun and it took the boredom off everybody's mind. When Both Trowa and Quatre pleaded weariness They all looked at them and then their gazes went from Quatre and Trowa to Duo and Hoshi as the pair stopped dancing.
Wufei looked at them as he raised a brow "Whats the matter?"
Duo answered while Hoshi giggled "I'm getting hungry." and then everyone heard his stomach growl loudly. Heero and Wufei smirked while everyone else busted into laugher. After hearing Duo's stomach everyone agreed it was time to start dinner since Duo was getting hungry and Quatre and Trowa being tired. It was a good thing that Duo's stomach decided to growl when it did, because Quatre and Trowa were breathing heavily by the end of the dancing and they definitely needed a nice break. Dinner was started and everyone got hungrier and hungrier while they smelt the delicious aroma the food created. About an hour or so later dinner was done and everyone was ready to dig in and that is just what Duo and Sky did.
Hoshi giggled and said "Well those two aren't that hungry." Quatre and Trowa laughed a bit.
Quatre finished laughing "It seems they enjoy the food, that is good, I'm glad."
Sky tried to talk through a mouth full of food "woo mad dis?"
Hoshi shook her head "Sky, don't talk with your mouth full. Swallow your food first then talk, jezz."
Sky swallowed his food and then asked again "Who made this?"
Heero lifted up a hand as he ate his food and Quatre pointed to Heero. Everyone stopped eatting and after a moment shrugged and then went back to eating. After dinner there was desert and both Duo and Sky were very happy for the sweets. There was one strawberry short cake left and both Sky and Duo made a dive for it...after a splatter of whip cream and strawberry sauce everyone looked to see who the victor was. Sky and Duo looked at each other...neither had the cake then everyone looked over at Heero who was licking his fingers. Quatre and Hoshi both bursted out in laugher.
"Hahaha! It looks like Heero won this time guys." Hoshi said holding her stomach.
Quatre said after his fit of laugher "Next time the two of you should be aware of your surroundings." and winked at the pouting Duo and Sky.
After desert everyone was tired and worn out from the day's events. Duo was just glad he had something to do that didn't involve Wufei chasing after him threating to cut off his braid. The braided man sighed happily and made his way to his room. He stopped as he saw Heero and Quatre standing at Heero's door, Quatre leaning against the door frame and Heero's hand on his cheek caressing it.
Duo smirked and said to the two "Hey, why don't you two get a room. That way you can all the naughty things you want."
This made the blond blush like mad and Duo giggled knowing his job for the night was done. Heero just glared at Duo but Duo was use to it. Duo made his way into his room and just laid down on top of the covers, not quiet ready for bed just yet. Heero and Quatre went into Heero's room and actually went to bed, cuddling up to each other and snuggling underneath the covers in each other's warmth.
Duo just laid on his bed wondering how long the peace would last. He knew there were people here after someone, whether it was Hoshi or someone else, everyone had to be careful but at the same time they had to get their fun and relaxation in before the storm hit cause Duo could feel the storm coming...how soon it would arive he wasn't sure.
He turned over to look at his dresser and heard a voice coming from his balcony "You feel it too, don't you? The calm before the storm." Duo got up off the bed and made his way out on his balcony where there was Hoshi, in her witches dress floating on her broom. She landed on the railing smoothly and gently and barely made a noise as her feet touched the metal railing "Your gut feelings are right but...at the same time we should get as much relaxation in as we can, ya know." and she turned to grin at the braided man before her.
Duo grinned back and spread his arms out before him. Hoshi saw the gesture and leaned down a bit for him to help her off the railing. He brought her quickly to his chest and held her there, engulfed in his arms and warm. She snuggled up to his chest, enjoying the warm feeling and the warmth he gave to her and her heart. That night the two slept in Duo's bed. They slept through the night dreaming peaceful and happy dreams.
Boredom Day 2...
The next morning found everyone waking up sleepily except for Heero and Quatre who seemed quiet rested and energized. Duo noticed this and winked at Quatre.
"So it seems you guys had a lot of fun last night, eh?" he grinned at the pair.
Quatre blushed like mad and made his way to the table as did Heero. Hoshi hopped in the shower to quickly get cleaned up and made her way down to the kitchen. She entered just as Duo started his teasing on the pair. She shook her head and walked over to Duo and pulled lightly on his braid but enough to get his attention.
"Oww. Don't do that." Duo said as he took his braid from out of Hoshi's hand and waved the tip in her face "Be gentle."
Hoshi smirked "I was and besides if I were you I'd be careful before you find a bullet in your head." she winked and made her way to the table as Duo followed after taking a seat as well.
Everyone was seated at the table. Quatre was also seated, which meant that he was not the one cooking breakfast that morning...but who was? Was the question everyone was pondering that bright, beautiful and warm...
"I'm..." Duo began but didn't get a chance to finish when Wufei cut him off.
"Don't even start Maxwell." Wufei threated.
"But Wu-man." Duo wined.
Hoshi smirked and said "Duo, want some cheese with that wine?" she turned to a sleepy Sky and both giggled to each other.
"Haha. Funny Hoshiko. Seriously what are we going to do today guys?" he said as he laid his head on th table and let his arms hang at his sides lazily.
Quatre spoke up smiling "Don't worry Duo. We'll find something to do. Let's just enjoy breakfast, hm." and he finished adding creamer and sugar to his coffee.
Hoshi brought her mug up to her lips to sip her coffee when Duo stopped her by placing his hand on her mug holding hand "Wait. You didn't put any creamer...or sugar in that? he asked
Hoshi arched a brow and said slowly "No...I like my coffee black. Thank you." she then preceded to sip her coffee and sighed in happiness. Duo slowly slid back down into his seat and laid his head back on the table.
Hoshi had her coffee and was about to have her breakfast too. Then it dawned on her "Who is cooking breakfast." she counted who all was sitting at the table and noticed that one silent animal lover man was missing. "Where is Trowa?" she looked over to where the sweet smelling scent was came from and sure enough Trowa was at the stove cooking breakfast. From what Duo's nose was telling him Trowa was cooking a sweet breakfast too. Both Duo and Sky started to drool at the mouth, Sky waking up more than he was before from the smell of the sweet breakfast that was being cooked. Breakfast was served shortly after and everyone ate hearty and were filled by the end of breakfast. Duo rubbed and patted his tummy, as was Sky. The two could be so alike at times, thought Hoshi as she giggled at the motions they were doing simultaneously.
After everyone helped with the clean up of the kitchen everyone went their separate ways and headed off to do their own thing or to at least find something to do. Duo headed to his room and Hsohi and Sky headed to the library. Quatre went to the living room to do some reading and Heero headed to the gym. Trowa went into the woods in the back of the mansion and just sat up in a tree to stare at the slowly moving clouds, enjoying the silence. Wufei went out into the woods to meditate, where Duo wouldn't be able to bother him with his childish whining.
Even though majority of them had things to do they were still a bit bored. Hoshi headed out the library when she almost bumped into Quatre.
"Whoa there Hoshi." Quatre stopped her with his hands "What are we you doing with all those books?" he asked as he blinked at the stack of books that blocked her view.
Hoshi giggled "Well I wanted something to do but then I noticed what a beautiful day it is. I decided to just read them at night until I finish them all, hehe."
Quatre smiled and shook his head, amused at his little sister. "Would you like help with those?" Quatre offered her.
Hoshi stuck her head out to the side and muttered a "Please." underneath all the weight of the books.
Quatre helped Hoshi to her room with the books she had. Once they dropped them off they agreed to check on Duo, to make sure he wasn't off bothering Wufei. Just as Quatre was about to knock on Duo's door they heard some muttering and then the door opened with a tired looking Duo heaving a bit. They looked at Duo and blinked as they stared at him. It wasn't the annoyed expression he had but what was stuck to his head they stared at. Duo had a small blue model car stuck to his forehead.
Hoshi began "How did you-"
Duo said with a grunt "Super, Super Glue."
Quatre looked at Duo and said "Haven't you tried to get it off?" as he tried to contain a laugh.
Duo looked to the side and said "I would have but I was too busy trying to get the door open. Which took me quite a while too." and he held up his hands to reveal that they were stuck together, palm super, super glued to the other.
Hoshi and Sky couldn't take it any longer and they bursted out in laugher holding their stomachs trying to control their laughter but it didn't work. Quatre let out a small laugh as well, finding the situation amusing. Everyone looked up when they saw a flash of light. they all looked around and then looked at Sky, there holding a disposable camera was Sky and Duo had a brow twitching. Hoshi smirked and said to the little floating wolf "A Kodak moment." and winked at her partner. Sky nodded his head and handed the camera to Hoshi who stuck it in her pants pocket.
The three, plus Sky...the four made their way to the kitchen. AT which they got a puzzled look from Wufei as Duo took a seat at the kitchen table...with a blue modeled blue car glued to his head.
"Do I even want to know Maxwell?" Wufei asked as he arched a brow.
Duo sighed annoyed "Super, Super Glue."
Wufei looked like he was about to laugh when he said "That would work very well for your mouth." as he took a seat next to Duo. Hoshi and Quatre were busy looking through the kitchen cabnits to see if they could find anything to de-glue Duo.
Wufei then started to ask "Haven't you-" and Duo hold up his glued together hands. Wufei smirked "Yes, we should definitely use that for your mouth."
Duo wined and looked at Quatre and Hoshi "Have you guys found anything yet?"
Quatre shook his head "No Duo. I'm sorry."
Hoshi said as she put a hand on her boyfriends shoulder "Why don't we eat lunch and then try again afterwards. I'm sure your hungry after trying to get that door open."
Duo shook his head yes and Quatre fixed those that were there some lunch. Once everyone was seated everyone began eating their sandwiches, chips and bowl of fruit...but Duo.
Sky looked at Duo and gave the braided man a sad look and floated over to Duo and landed by his plate of food. The little wolf tore a piece of Duo's sandwich off and floated up to Duo's mouth.
"Open." Sky said as he held the piece of sandwich in his small paws.
Duo opened his mouth and Sky popped in the piece of sandwich in. Duo chewed it and then swallowed "Thanks Sky...some more please."
The whole time they were eating Sky would tare a piece of Duo's sandwich off and float up to pop it in his mouth. Hoshi would then feed Sky while Duo chewed his food. Wufei and Quatre watched the whole scene amused and thought how Troaw and Heero were missing out on the amusement.
After lunch the trio; Quatre, Hoshi and Wufei, started to look for something to un-glue Duo with. Even though it would be nice to use the glue on Duo Wufei knew now wasn't the time to do so, his time would come and Wufei would have some peace and quiet...for about a day or two. Wufei smirked at the image of that thought, oh yes, that would be a great day for the Chinese man.
The looked and looked and couldn't really find anything that would wash off Super Super Glue off his hands.
Hoshi sighed and sat down at the table "I can't believe we can't find anything...exspecually with this kitchen being as big as it is." and flopped her arms on the table.
"Yes, you are right. I should have something in here for the glue." Quatre said scratching the side of his head.
"Well it looks like your going to be stuck like that for a while Maxwell. " Wufei stated as he crossed his arms over his chest and took a seat at the table.
Duo wined and looked at Wufei with a hurt expression "Don't say that Wu-man."
No sooner did Duo finish did something wet and soapy hit him square in the face. The wet object slid off his face and onto the table. Duo looked over at the sink and saw Sky there Snickering. Duo got up off the chair and started to chase the little wolf around the kitchen. Wufei, Hoshi and Quatre just watched the two run around in the kitchen, their heads going back and forth following the two.
Heero and Trowa made their way into the kitchen and Trowa walked up to Wufei "What is going on in here?"
Wufei sighed tired "Maxwell got a modled car stuck to his forehead and the little wolf imp is being childish.
Hoshi bent down to get a view of Wufei and said "It's called having fun Wufei, I know you know what that is, try it some time." she smiled and straighten back up.
Heero then walked up to Hoshi and asked "what model car?" Everyone looked at him and then looked at Duo. Indeed there was no longer a blue modeled car stuck to his forehead but he didn't take the time to notice as he was too busy chasing Sky around the kitchen, threatening to drown him in the sink. Sky flew over by the sink and Duo made a dive for the little wolf and instead of getting Sky his glued hands landed straight in the soapy dish water. After he brought them out of the water he stopped in mid run and looked at his hands and flexed them a couple of times and then heard Sky "Eppp!" and the wolf took off again flying around the kitchen with Duo hot on his tail.
A half hour passed and within that half hour Wufei went into his room to meditate for about fifteen minutes and came back to the two still running around the kitchen.
The Chinese man sighed and watched the two run around and around "Still at it?" everyone shook their heads yes as they too followed the pair as they ran around the kitchen not stopping.
"Boy that is bound to work up a appetite, at some point." Hoshi stated as her head went around in circles following them. No sooner did she say that the two stopped and was huffing and puffing. Duo was leaning on the island that was in the middle of the kitchen and SKy was on the island, arm draped across the cup that held the large utensils.
Quatre walked up to the two "Have you two had enough?"
The two shook their heads tiredly but perked up when Trowa asked "What are we having for dinner tonight?"
"Food!" both rushed up to Trowa and stopped standing straight up and drooling. Hoshi and Quatre shook their heads. Hoshi grab Sky by the neck and placed him in her hood that was attached to her long sleeved shirt. Quatre took Duo by the neck of his shirt and dragged him to the living room. There he took a pile of comics and plopped them on the braided man's lap.
"There, read those until dinner is done. I'll come and get you when dinner is done." and he made his way out of the living room.
Just as Quatre was making his way out of the living room Hoshi was making her way in. She dropped Sky, gently, onto the couch and said firmly "Stay. Take Duo's example and read some. Quatre will come get you, alright." by the time she was done talking Sky had grabbed a comic from the stack on Duo's lap and started to read it. Hoshi sighed and shook her head giggling at her partner.
As soon as dinner was done Quatre did come and get the two comic readers. When he arrived in the living room Sky was sitting on top of Duo's head reading a comic and Duo had his legs crossed reading his comic. The blond shook his head giggling at the two head's went back and forth reading what was in the comic books.
"Dinner is-" he never got to finish because they rushed straight for the kitchen "-finished."
Hoshi laughed as the two quickly seated themselves at the table and started to drool over what had been placed on their plates. As soon as Quatre made it back to the kitchen everyone started on their dinner. That night dinner wasn't as loud because the two loud mouths were too busy stuffing their faces to cause any kind of noise. There was talk but little came from the two stuffing the food into their big mouths, well small for Sky. Desert was served but this time instead of something sweet something fruity was served and everyone enjoyed it. Though it would be a lie to say that Duo and Sky was a bit disappointed to find it wasn't something sweet like they had hoped for when they heard the word desert mentioned.
Trowa stated as he ate his fruit "That is all you two need right now is fruit."
Hohis added "Indeed." and the rest of the evening was spent with the other's and the two sweet tooths finishing their fruity deserts and talking about things and people and events. Around the later part of the evening Hoshi stood up and grabbed the snoring Sky from the table "We're going to head to bed. Goodnight everybody."
"Wait!" Duo shouted and ran up to the Guardian and her sleeping partner "I want to tell you something." he leaned down to her hear and then moved his head quickly to give her a smooch on the lips which surprised her but none the less she was happy and kissed him back. Duo smiled warmly down at Hoshi and whispered in her ear sweetly "Goodnight, Hoshiko." and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. She blushed, considering he kissed her in front of everyone and she wasn't use to that. She waves to everyone as she saw their grins and blushed even more and ran up to her room. There she tucked Sky into his miniature bed and got ready herself. As she climbed into bed she laid her head down on her soft fluffy pillow thinking about the braided man and the way he was so sweet, funny, kind and just a all out great guy. She sighed happily and fell asleep with thoughts of him holding her and...singing to her? She shook her head and falling asleep with a big smile on her face. That night everyone slept well and their dreams filled with smiles and laugher. The next day would prove to be interesting and
