Chapter 10 - First kisses
The foursome stopped at a small bar and had a couple of drinks, the boys shot some pool with a couple of local guys. Heero refused to let Duo bet on it. It just wouldn't have been fair to the other men. So what if Heero had never played before. It was a game of skill, calculation and accuracy. He mastered it by the second ball. Once they got back to the campus, Heero and Relena disappeared into her room.
That left Duo and Mouse standing outside her dorm room door. For the first time ever, they felt shy with one another. Kind odd when you think about everything the two had done on the phone in the past, but then again maybe not. That had been them alone, each safe in their own room, sitting in the dark, the other only a voice in their ear. Not standing, right there in person, and really, really not wanting to screw this up. At least that's how Duo felt. Mouse's brain cells had decided to take a vacation by this point, so she was just staring up at Duo waiting for him to make a move. Ah, he was going to make move wasn't he? They'd been standing here in the doorway for about 10 minutes now staring at each other.
Duo was trying to gather together his considerable courage, when the hell had that deserted him? Fuck, he'd fought hundreds if not thousands of mobile suits during the war. He'd survived a stint with the Zero system, sanity still reasonably intact. Gone on suicide mission after suicide mission without blinking an eye, and now he couldn't for the life of him kiss a girl, a girl that he liked. Damn it Maxwell, get it together you've kissed Heero Yuy for God's sake, you can kiss 'this' girl, it will NOT ruin your friendship. Duo thoughts chased themselves around and around in his head.
Mouse's thoughts were much simpler: Moron.
Finally after what seemed like hours Duo lifted his hand and slowly pushed a couple of stray hairs that had fallen out of her ponytail back behind her ear. He left his hand here on the side of her head, fingers behind her ear, thumb in front, he mirrored it with his other hand, he now had her firmly within his grasp. Mouse wasn't sure, but she thought she felt him tremble. He licked his lips, and her eye's went directly to the new moistened lips now slowly descending to hers. Somebody moaned, and someone else sighed as their lips 'finally' touched for the first time. Eyes now closed, they lost themselves in the sweet ambrosia that was the other.
Suddenly Duo violet eye's popped open and he stepped back from Mouse as if she was a blazing hot fire and he had just burned his hand in it. Oh God....
"M-Mouse, run , hide, get in your closet. I'll, um, call you in a few, okay?" And with that he turned and ran away so fast down the hall his braid flew out behind him.
"Huh?"
Mouse blinked several times before enough of her brain cells decided to come back happyland and propelled her into her room. She opened the door, closed it and leaned back against it, a completely dazed look on her face. Her fingers lightly grazing the lips that had just been thoroughly kissed for the first time ever by one Duo Maxwell, ex-Gundam pilot of the Deathscythe and Deathscythe Hell. Who it seemed had just run away from her in... what? Fear? yes no, yes no. What the Hell had just happened?
From her relaxed position on the bed in the dark room Gloria grinned at the stunned and confused expression on her roommates face. She had obviously just been kissed by someone.
"Hey Mouse, you okay? You're looking a little dazed there."
"Huh? Gloria? Ah no I'm uh fine really." The girl behind Gloria raised up her head to grin at Mouse, her short cropped dark hair tousled becomingly.
"Yo Mouse."
"Hey Hil, um, if you guys , ah need me. I'll, um I'll be..."
Brrriinngg
Mouse's cell phone went off at just that moment. She didn't need to check to see who it was, she already knew, he'd said he be calling her in just a few minutes. What the Hell, did he fly there? Answering it she walked rather unsteadily to the closet and shut herself in. The two women on the bed heard what she said before she managed to close the door all the way. Gloria looked at her lover and lifted a delicate blonde eyebrow.
"You think it's your buddy Maxwell?"
"Damnit yes, I am so going to lose that bet."
"Bet? What bet?" Hilde, rolled her lover over and wiggled into a comfy position on top of her. A smoldering look in her eyes.
"That he's even more clueless than your twin brother Mike." Gloria Phillips burst out laughing, she and her brother Mike didn't look anything alike, so most people never realized they were twins. But they were very alike in one regard, they both liked their own sex. Gloria had known Mike was gay even before she had admitted she same thing to herself. Her clueless brother, on the other hand, hadn't admitted it to himself yet. But it looked like Mouse's tall handsome cousin Rick Hamond, was doing his best to clear up any misconceptions Mikey still had about his sexual preferences.
In the closet....
"Damnit Maxwell, how dare you kiss me and run off like that. What the Hell are you thinking?"
"Ooh ah, M-Mouse I was th-thinking, I ooh um, wa-was allowed only one ki-ki-kiss tonight."
"That's why you left in such a hurry. You, you were excited?" A bright ray of hope entered Mouse's heart, where none had been before. She'd never dreamed the sexy gorgeous ex-Gundam pilot would really and truly, be turned on by 'her' physical self. I mean it's one thing to sit in the dark and pretend. He was a guy, guys were just naturally horny, she had well over a dozen examples of that in her family alone.
"Oh Fuck yeah,(pant pant) God Mouse. I-I so do, ah, ah, NOT want to sc-screw this up. J-just tell me how many ki-kisses I'm allowed... OOoooh, Damn, um, ah, t-talk to m-me. I'm fu-fucking, oh God, dying here."
"Duo."
-
The next morning Mouse was cleaning her room when Duo came by. That was a little surprising actually as the ex-space jockey tended to sleep in on the weekends unless Heero dragged him out of bed.
"Ah Duo, what are you doing up so early. Heero drag you out of bed to kick your ass again?" The attractive male standing in her room actually blushed.
"I- ah no not yet anyway, but the day's still young, he still has plenty of time to beat the crap outta me. No I ah, couldn't sleep last night. Look Mouse, I don't know a Damn thing about dating someone. But I do know that there needs to be some kissing rules here."
"Kissing rules?"
"Ah yeah, like no kissing on school days, or maybe we only kiss on dates or something like that." Mouse couldn't have stopped the look of pain that crossed her face even if she had wanted too. She looked down at the ground and gave the only answer she could at that moment.
"Yeah, um sure, I see. Look's it's alright, I mean Relena tricked us, and...."
(sigh)
"No you don't see, you don't see at all."
With that Duo pulled Mouse into his arms and ravished her mouth. When he gently bit her bottom lip and she gasped his tongue entered her mouth and took complete control. It was the sound of Gloria dropping her basket of clothes on the floor as she stood, eye's wide open watching her roommate seriously and I mean 'seriously' making out the chestnut haired male all the straight women and not so straight guys on campus dreamed about. The loud noise brought Duo back to himself and he jumped away from the dazed girl. Mouse's brain cells had gone on holiday again, and they were all having a party. They were screaming and drinking and toasting each other going... WOW, Holy, Fucking, Shit, that boy can kiss.
"Oh Fuck, I ah..c-crap, I ah, gotta go. Closet. Now."
The braided menace flew out of the room at light speed. And Mouse sank to her knees, the now useless appendages that were known as her legs no longer able to hold her up any more. She just sat there blinking, trying to process what had just happened... again. Gloria snickered as she went and retrieved Mouse's cell phone off the table next to her bed, handed it to her, then went to the closet and opened the door. Mouse still dazed, crawled on her hands and knees into the closet, as Gloria closed the door she heard the other girls cell phone go off. Damn he was fast. Gloria picked up her own cell phone and called her girlfriend Hilde to tell her that her almost brother had just been here, and that Mouse was back, 'in the closet'. The petite blue eyed blonde had to go out into the hall afraid her hysterical laughter would upset her roommate.
Once Mouse and Duo managed to calm down. Hehehe. She sorted his reasoning behind the 'Kissing Rules' out. Seems the ex-Deathscythe pilot, found himself completely unable to control his body whenever he kissed the pretty girl he had become such good friends with. So being a Moron, he reasoned that if he 'knew' they'd only be kissing on 'dates', he wouldn't be thinking about it all the time. Less is more right, isn't that how the saying goes? Did I mention he was a Moron?
Seems Mouse wasn't much better in this regard, she agreed to the 'Rules'. But she figured that if her brain cells kept short circuiting out like they had been recently, that she wouldn't even be able to feed herself by the end of the week. Much less kiss. Now wouldn't that be a Damn shame.
But Duo wasn't against a few changes to their usual daily banter, hair pulling and all around teasing. Whenever they got within two feet of each other their hands automatically reached out clasped and pulled each other closer and didn't let go until they had too. Duo thought idly about getting a pair of handcuffs for the two of them, he hadn't actually 'seen' anyone handcuffed around campus, but Q had told him once in passing that Trowa was fond of handcuffing him. The ex-02 pilot it seemed was still somewhat naive. Hilde, Zechs and Wufei all gave Trowa their money to hold until it was determined whether he, Heero or Relena won the bet.
By the way 'less IS more' and poor Duo thought about kissing Mouse almost constantly. He probably would have broken it within days, except he was terrified of scaring off his little Mouse. Anybody else notice that he thinks of her as 'His Mouse' now? He thought it in his head but he really didn't understand the significance of it. And if you asked him, he couldn't have even told you when it happened, was it that first week, the first time they'd talked sexy on the phone, when he'd called her form that boring cocktail party, the first day.....

AN: Yet another fun chapter to write. Next up a Halloween party and then I think some angst is called for. But first I need to get in a crappyier mood. It's just so hard to write angst when you in a good mood.
