Finished this one sooner then i had thought -- sorry that the other chapter was so short. This one is a -little- longer. AhH~~ I feel like it's too fluffy. I might try to add some real drama soon...maybe...you know what helps? feed back *nodes* feed back helps writers a lot...should I add a '*hint -cough- hint* in there? sorry -- lack of sleep makes me silly.

lol, well moving on, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter -- Oh! and there is some (hardly any) smut in the first part of this chapter. If it offends you, skip it.

Chapter Thirteen : Dreaming

Duo inhaled sharply as Ceit moved to straddled his hips, lightly pressing her lower body into his. Smiling at his reaction, she leans forward and nips at his lower lip roughly before kissing him hard, rocking her hips into him harder.

Breathing heavily, Duo reaches forward to take off her top, only to have her jerk away quickly. "What do you think your doing Duo?"

Frowning, Duo makes another reach for her. "What do you think I'm doing?"

"...I think your dreaming if you think I would ever let you touch me after you've been such a complete ass." Ceit sneered, getting off the bed to wrap her arms around Wufei, who seemed to have come out of no where. "If I wanted to be with a jerk, I might as well be with Wufei – at least he's human and gets me."

And with that, a very sexually frustrated, and very angry Duo jerked away. Looking around his room in a daze, as if he actually expected to see Ceit and Wufei there, he cursed loudly, and shoved the covers off him. Glancing down at his lap briefly, he rolled his eyes and quickly decided that a cold shower was just the thing he needed to start the day off.

Heero watched Relena wrap her arms around Quatre's shoulders and whisper something in his ear. Though he had always suspected that Quatre was gay, seeing the other boy respond so favorable to Relena's attention made him quickly rethink the situation.

Quatre was quiet, gentle and honestly kindhearted. Just the kind of guy he could see Relena falling for. Clenching his teeth, he started to march over to them, intent on..something. What exactly, he wasn't sure. All he knew was that if the blond boy didn't get his hands off Relena, he was going to lose the whole arm.

Before he could get there however, Relena turned her head toward Quatre and the two kissed. Lightly, gently at first, then more urgently, as if no one could see the two of them. Growling loudly, Heero dashed forward to pull the two apart...

And then fell out of bed onto the cold floor.

Running a hand over his face, he had to take a few breaths to calm himself before he got up. Today was starting out just wonderfully.

"Ah~ I feel like I've made a deal with the devil." Ceit moaned as she hung up with her Uncle for the seventh time in two days. A record for them, since the only other time she had spoken to him had been at her parents funeral.

He had asked surprisingly few questions, and the results had been instantaneous. A few minutes after her request, she had gotten a call from her teacher telling her that she and Relena would officially be partners in class for the rest of the year.

Of course, nothing was for free. Ceit now either had to give up living on her own, or had to check in with her uncle directly at least once a day and was to come for dinner at least once a week. If she decided to live with a friend rather then him, the dinners were still mandatory though the phone calls were void.

"The man talks like a lawyer – he has to be a lawyer." Ceit muttered as she sat down. No sooner had she sat down, then Relena had moved to rest her chin on her shoulder.

"Don't think for a moment my friend that this means I will do all the work for our project – you pull your own weight or I swear I will let us both fail."

Snorting, Ceit lightly knuckle butted Relena's head. "First off, you so would not – the mere thought of you failing would put you into such a shock your brother would have to admit you to a special hospital where they take away your shoelaces." at Relena's snort, Ceit hit her again. "And second of all, I really can't fail yet another class – so relax, my participation will be there ...between the hours of 5 and 7 pm every other day starting Monday, but excluding Saturday and Sunday..."

"...Sometimes I really hate you."

"Aw 'Lena, you know I love you above all others as well!"

They both laughed loudly, then looked at the clock. Ten minutes till class started. The both had the same thoughts in their heads. Did the sheep know what had been done yet? And how would they react?

Wufei walked into the room, took one look at their faces and snorted loudly. "Relief. They will both feel relief for not having to deal with the two of you ever again."

As he walked to his desk, both Relena and Ceit watched him go, glaring. Relena was the first to speak however. "You know, that thing he dose where he pretty much reads our minds?"

"You hate it right?"

"With a passion."

Hearing their conversation, Wufei snorted and walked over to them again, leaning over Ceit's shoulder. "You know I can hear you both."

"You make it sound like you weren't meant to love..."

"Was I?"

"Or course you were! Relena and I would never make the mistake of ever saying anything around you that we didn't want you to hear – right 'Lena?"

Relena nodded slightly, chuckling under her breath as she start to get her books ready before the teacher came into the classroom. Glancing over, she gave another little laugh at how childish Ceit and Wufei were. The two were nose to nose, giving 'doe eyes' as they whispered the most nasty, mean things ever to one another in voices so soft she could barley even hear them.

And that, is exactly how Duo found them. Wufei cornering Ceit in her chair; and her not seeming to mind at all; their faces inches apart, whispering what seemed like sweet nothings to each other.

Clenching his teeth, Duo moved to his desk and slammed his backpack into it before shoving his chair back and sitting down. Glancing over at the two from the corner of his eye, they didn't even seem to notice that he had even entered the room. Feeling his gut clench, he quickly looked away and tried to relax.

What business was it of his what the crazy loser did? If they wanted to date, then they...

He couldn't even finish the thought. A flash back of the first part of his dream that morning made him blush brightly and shift uncomfortably in his chair. When he glanced at them away, he relaxed slightly. They were at least farther apart now.

A few seconds later Mrs. Sweg walked into the classroom and announced that there would be independent studies for the first ten minutes of class. She then called Duo to the front of the class. As Duo moved to her desk, she began looking around, as if just now noticing that not everyone in her class was there, she frowned. "Where is Heero?"

"Here – car problems, sorry..."

All heads turned toward the door. Heero's hair was sticking up more then usual and he was breathing heavily as if he had been running. His eyes locked with Relena's before quietly moving to the teacher's desk. "You wanted to see me ma'am?"

Mrs. Sweg nodded slightly and cleared her throat. "Yes, well....I know at the start of the term I told you there would be no switching partners, however..." flushing, she cleared her throat again and lifted her chin. "You and Duo will now be partners for the rest of the year. Work well together."

Both Duo and Heero stood silently for a few more seconds, then cursed at exactly the same time, saying almost the exact same thing – it was so perfectly done, that it had almost seemed staged. Especially when they both demanded who had brought up a problem with their previous partnerships.

"You're a teacher, aren't you? How can you just change your mind on something that you decreed as law at the start of the year? Over just one student's complaint?!" Duo demanded, slamming his hands on the teachers desk, making the poor woman jump out of her chair.

"Was it Relena's brother? What kind of teacher gives into the rumblings of an obsessively over protective brother?!" Heero snarled, quietly, leaning closer to the teacher.

As Mrs. Sweg opened and closed her mouth a few times as she tried to think of what to say – never had a student so openly defied her in such a way. Her face slowly flushed from red to purple as her anger raised. However, before she could say a word, someone kicked their desk to the ground, drawing all attention to them.

Ceit's leg was still raised slightly from kicking her desk to the front of the class room. Looking around nonchalantly, she gave a big yawn. "Ah~ Relena, I'm actually stunned by it – how quickly sheep forget things." Looking Duo dead in the eye, she continued to address Relena. "Weather it's a promise they made the night before or a deceleration they make to the whole school, it seems they can't keep the words in their heads..."

Duo grit his teeth hard and moved toward her, but before he could even get a within a few feet of her, Wufei stepped between them. Placing his hand on Duo's shoulder, he smiled hard. "I guess you do have a poor memory. Didn't I tell you yesterday that I would make sure you never got near Ceit again?" patting the fuming boy's shoulder, Wufei smirked widely. "Aren't you glad? That you get your wish of never having to deal with losers like us ever again?"
