Chapter 14
They departed around about noon in Quatre's personal jet. The Magnaucs unfortunately had a mishap and ate some bad food. The whole crew got food poisoning, minus Rashid reason unknown, the day before. Rumors had spread that he had gone out for light drinking with none other then the king of the drunks.
"As is known far and wide, no transcontinental trip is fun unless someone is areophobic, or has a fear of planes.
"Now for truths sake this was self induced. Watching 'Snakes on a plane,' 'Final Destination,' 'Air Force One,' and other plane crashing, hijacking, and/or exploding movies was the worst idea said persons could have done.
"Now who's the person or persons currently being mocked and humiliated?" Whoever gave Duo the loudspeaker soon regretted the action as he mocked the unfortunate victims. "Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding. It's house friendly, everyones desire and nightmare reaper twins. And the newest addition to this shitty low-down dirty excuse of of a fucking story written by a boyfriend-less high school reject Kitsue, he's never been out of his room but now finally reveals himself, the darkest of dark, the strongest of strong, I'm proud to present Sleeper."
Kitsue- You think your funny don't you Shinigami. * Grabs duo by the hair.*
Duo: Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow, Let go, let go.
Kitsue: Wu-fei scissors. * Cuts off braid.*
Duo: * teary eyes* Oh c'mon thats not fair. You cut my hair.
Kitsue: * could care less.* You put me on blast so we're even.
Sure enough Halo and Sickle were gripping the arms of their chairs. Eyes tightly closed and scrunched to the point where they looked like some hard put an awkward mask on them.
Sleeper, just gripped the chair of his seat the dark knuckles had lost some color looking gray.
"Leave them alone Duo." Quatre said calmly. Quatre was on his computer checking the stock market. He did so occasionally just for fun.
Duo cartwheeled down the plane aisle teasing the reaper's and Sleeper. Silence was having a great time watching Duo's antics but was more interested in the conversation with Heero.
"Indeed the book portrays the tale of a young boy who is orphaned and taken in by a man who forces him to be a soldier and lover slave. The boy knows nothing of the outside world, he got the thoughts of exploring the world beyond beaten from him. He's tortured, raped and trained till thats all he knows. It's exhilarating Zechs is great at writing books."
"I've read a couple pages, maybe when your done I can borrow it." Silence said.
"Maybe." Heero said with a small smile.
Aarin was bored, his friends were too busy with their lovers. He turned his attention to Quatre. Soon had engrossed the boy in a conversion on the structure of economics.
Duo had found the liquor cabinet much to everyones horror and when he did not a soul was safe.
When the plain landed, the girls in grass skirts and coconut bras, as well as the men in grass skirts had to help steady them as they walked down the ladder. Duo, no surprise, was carried off.
The first day and a half of their trip was spent with hangovers courtesy of Duo, revenge was the single thing on all of their minds.
They all lay bunkered in separate rooms of the hotel owned by the Winner company.
Wu-fei was the only one without a roommate which made him regret what he had said and done.
Despite the hangover he was aware of his loneliness.
He settled onto the hammock instead of the two person bed. The hammock was comfy and helped with the throbbing in his head.
The next day Duo was up bright and early. He was smiling widely. He slipped out of his room and into the breakfast room. Wu-fei was already there, the eye daggers were firmly set on Duo.
Duo just smiled. "Konichiwa Wu-kun," he said.
"What are you so happy about?"
"I succeeded in something thought to be unable to be done."
"You fucked Heero?" Wu-fei said wide-eyed.
"No, sadly I didn't get that far, bu~~~~~~t," He dragged out the the 'but'. A stupid grin spread wider across his face. "I succeeded in molesting him." Duo laughed.
"Wish I could have seen that." Wu-fei said.
Goal numero uno of the pilots, get Heero into bed with other men, so far no one had gotten close, not even when they went to Luck of the Yokai. Duo now held the record for actually 'touching' his intimate parts.
"Yeah that would have been an amazing to watch over and over, minus the point where he punched me." Duo rubbed his jaw. "Fun though. He sleeps funny on a hammock."
"They are actually comfy." Heero growled walking in. "Wu-fei can I sleep in your room please, I don't want to sleep with him again."
"Oh c'mon Hee-kun, it was just a little touchie-feelie nothing to get mad over." Duo said.
Heero's eyes flared. "A little. "You were stroking me while I slept. If I hadn't had awoken when I did who knows what you could have done."
Wu-fei was quick to turn the laughed into a harsh series of coughs. "What?"
"Duo here decided to masturbate while he stroked me off and while I was asleep. I swear, he's like a rabbit in heat using any means necessary to get what the hell he wants."
Again Wu-fei coughed/laughed. "Go ahead you can stay in my room."
Heero smiled. "Let get out of here Wu-fei, we can hit the shops on the island."
"Can I..."
"No." Wu-fei and Heero said.
Duo slumped. "Fine I'll go to one of the local bars and hit on a couple island girls."
"What?" they said.
"I'm turning bi, plain and simple." Duo said. "If I can't get sex at home might as well get it on vacation." He smiled and sauntered off.
"Wow, thats new."
"Zechs we need to talk." Trowa said.
"Whats up?" Zechs asked.
Both had been distant since they got back together. This vacation was the time to renew that bond they once had, but Trowa couldn't see Zechs in the same light anymore. He sighed and over the week came to a decision.
"Zechs, maybe we should split, and you go to WU-fei rather then stay with me." Trowa looked from Zechs who had froze.
"Wha~? Why? Is there something wrong?" Zechs stared with the endless ocean blue eyes . He tried to catch the undeniable emerald depths but Trowa refused to look at him.
"I'm sorry Zechs but, ever since... I can't think of you in the same way." Trowa's voice was shaky. "I've tried to, I've really tried, but I can't, and and it may be better that we part instead of me having to fight myself, no force myself to gain think of you the way I had before. This was the only solution that could come to mind."
Zechs rose up on the bed.
Trowa looked at him. Tears flowed from the stones that were his eyes, giving them an even more enviable appearance. "Please Zechs don't be mad. We could still remain friends, but not lovers as we were before."
Zechs steeled himself, as he had done during the long seemingly endless war. At this moment he wished he had old white mask, the one he had worn during the war.
"It's alright." Zechs said. His voice was emotionless, cold. "I felt this would come someday. Well it was great while it lasted."
Zechs stood up, is naked form catching the Hawaiian sunlight making it like a golden marble. Trowa stared at his naked back, he expected a tinge of loss but he felt nothing other then a slight ease of relief.
Zechs tried to break himself of the steel posture. He, like Heero, can never break themselves of old habits. 'Once a perfect soldier, always a perfect soldier.' as their motto went.
"Hey Zechs how about a little keep sake." Trowa said.
Zechs turned around to see his ex-lover on the bed spread open. Trowa's had was caressing this hardening penis and a smile caressed his smooth features.
"Sure." Zechs said.
Sickle knocked on Halo's door. Falcon was blushing fiercely behind him. Halo was quick to open the door and Allen quick to rush out and Falcon in.
"Never again." Falcon said. "I won't drink with that monster ever again. I was in a panic when I didn't see you in bed, and I saw Sickle but oh, Halo forgive me."
"Sickle forgive me as well, I didn't mean too, I was drunk and you two look so much alike drunk." Allen squeaked.
"We forgive you, as long as you forgive us." Sickle said for the both of them.
"Agreed." The boys murmured nuzzling into their lovers chest.
Aarin was awake before Quatre. He smiled warmly at his sleeping elder brother. He started to giggle. Quatre had slept till afternoon because of the hangover. He gently shook Quatre to wake him up.
"Ut?" Quatre asked sleepily.
"Lets go chill on the beach." Aarin said. "Come on the warm water and the fish, lets go swimming."
Quatre was up in seconds. He walked to his suit case as Aarin walked to his. They dug their swim trunks. Both got a shock at what they found.
Later on Quatre purposely invited everyone to the beach. He waited as everyone, minus Duo, rushed to get bathing suits or swim trunks. They came back minutes later mad or embarrassed. All eyes turned to Duo casually whistling the 'I love Lucy' theme song.
"How the hell did you switch our bathing suits with out us noticing?" Heero asked. He held up a pair of extremely small speedo's. The kind that is you went swimming in them something is bound to pop out if you weren't careful.
"At least your covered in the rear." Zechs said hold up a pair of thongs.
"At least yours has more cloth." Noin screamed her face red. "He got me a string bikini." She didn't have to explain any further.
"All in favor of shopping say aye." Hilde giggled. She leaned over to Noin whispering something intimate in her ear.
Noin's face flushed with the thought.
'Aye' chorused around and they all departed to the stores that lined the beach getting clothing that was more 'conservative.'
To Duo's misfortune, the beach was the worst place for him. Everyone took the chance to exact their revenge upon the long haired youth. By the time the day was done, Duo had been carted out of the water by a life guard and the entire group was given a strict and final warning.
"Revenge is sweet." Heero said.
"That was so~~~o fun." Wu-fei remarked.
"He won't be getting on our nerves for a while." Riiight.
Zechs lightly tapped on Wu-fei's door. Wu-fei opened it and smiled at Zechs. "Can I bunk with you?" He asked.
Wu-fei looked puzzled but nodded. Zechs stepped in to see Heero already asleep on the cot.
"Oh, I didn't know he was here as well. What happened?" Zechs was surprised to see Heero in the room.
"Duo molested him." Wu-fei said.
Zechs shook his head.
"What about you?" Wu-fei asked closing the door.
"Trowa thought it would be best if we were just friends. SO I left the room to him." Zechs gave a sad smile.
"Not taking it well are you?"
"It hurts, a little, but it'll subside."
Sleeper snuck into Quatre's room. He looked at Quatre still at work on the laptop while Aarin played poker with the usual players and a couple maids.
"Work work work, thats all Cinderella does." Halo said.
"I'm not Cinderella, I'm Snow White. I do the work voluntarily." Quatre said not noticing the fact that he was referred to as a girl by Halo and himself.
"Well I was going to mess with him but I guess I'll join the poker game instead." Sleeper said with a heavy sigh.
"Aarin, give me a hand on this." Quatre said.
Aarin looked over at Quatre and stood up. He crawled onto the bed and examined the problem.
"You sneak, your playing online poker." Aarin laughed. The others joined in.
Aarin gave Quatre a hand anyway.
Quatre was playing with on of the tops by the look of it. The name was Bleed-4-me. An awkward name for a player but intimidating, if that was the persons goal.
After a few hands Quatre had won the game. A private chat box appeared and in it was written one word. Touche'
