CHAPETER 2
The next morning breakfast went much the same way, this time however it was a banana that was on the receiving end of Duo's teasing while he pretended to read a book. For his part, Wufei tried a little harder to ignore Duo's suggestive eating habits failing just as miserably as the day before. It seemed to him that it should be illegal for Duo to be allowed to use his mouth in such a way. The way he subconsciously licked at the tip of the pale fruit before slowly allowing it past his lips to nibble on it. After every bite he would close his eyes a little and make an almost inaudible moan of pleasure at the sugary, tart flavor. Wufei had to excuse himself from the table abruptly saying he had to go work on his Gundam, missing the tiny smirk Duo wore caused by his hasty retreat. The long- haired pilot gave his friend about 15 minutes to calm himself before he joined him in the hanger; after all, he knew that if he pushed the other boy too hard he would retreat to his room and not come out for the remainder of the day upsetting Duo's little game. He couldn't let that happen now could he? So he joined him on the pretense of needing to work on his own Gundam. Some time went by before Duo decided to make his next move, sliding down from his own Gundam and making his way over to Shenlong, removing his shirt in the process to allow the small summer breeze to cool his over-warmed skin. He was able to climb soundlessly up to were his ebony haired friend was working and silkily whispered into his ear
"Would you like some help putting that in?" Wufei jumped, clearly shaken by the sudden appearance of Shinigami behind him.
"What are you trying to do, give me a heart attack baka?"
"Not exactly what I had in mind, but not a bad idea either.." Duo managed to say with a contemplative look on his face.
"What did you want?" Wufei said, trying to get back to his work.
"How 'bout you guess?" Wufei turned around to look at him with an unreadable expression and asked
"Why, what would be the point of guessing when you can just tell me?" Duo looked thoughtfully at him for a moment, a smile appearing on his face that promised mischief. "How's this, I'll give you three guesses and three hints and if you guess correctly you own me for a day and I'll do whatever you want"
"What happens if I don't win?"
"Then I get to own you for a day" Wufei thought about it for a few minutes, but they both knew that he would eventually agree because he simply could not turn down the chance to figure out a riddle.
"Alright" was his only answer. He was graced by one of the biggest and most intimidating smiles he had ever seen.
"Ok, first clue: It involves you" Wufei looked at him dumbfounded.
"That's not a clue, that's obvious"
"Possibly, but we never stated how easy or hard the clues had to be. Would you like to guess yet or do you want the next clue." Wufei was nearly fuming by now but asked for the next clue.
"It's not something I would want from Trowa or Quatre." Wufei was silent and motioned for him to go on with the next clue, quietly contemplating the first two.
"Last clue, "at this point Duo leaned forward close enough to just whisper into the others ear "we would need to be really close for it" He pulled back slowly taking in the slightly flushed look he had caused and turned around to walk away calling over his shoulder,
"You have one hour to come up with all three guesses, I'll be in my room when you're ready." With that he disappeared out the door leaving a very flustered Wufei behind.
Exactly one hour later Duo heard a hesitant knock at his door. He walked to the door and opened it smiling.
"Are you ready?" A curt nod was his only answer. He motioned for Wufei to sit on his bed, the only piece of furniture in the room other than Heero's own bed. After they were both seated Duo waited, watching the other boy shift a bit uncomfortably.
"I don't know. I forfeit." Duo was stunned. Wufei never failed to answer a riddle.
"Don't you even want to try to guess, you have three chances"
"No, I went over every possibility I could think of and I just couldn't figure it out. You win so tell me what you wanted"
"Are you sure you want to know?" Duo asked with a hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't" The violet eyed pilot smiled in earnest then as he slowly leaned forward to brush his lips softly against the caramel tinted lips of the other boy. Wufei froze instantly; this certainly wasn't what he had been expecting. Duo pulled back looking rather confused with his eyes downcast.
"I'm sorry, I guess I shouldn't have done that"
"Why did you?" Duo looked up at him, thinking momentarily before he answered,
"Because I like you and I thought you might feel the same way, I'm sorry if I offended you" The Chinese boy looked sad when he spoke
"No, I'm not offended. It's just that no one has been close to me since my wife and I was a little surprised by your actions," He blushed and looked away before he continued to speak "but I would like to try again if you're still interested." Duo smiled and leaned forward to grasp the other boys chin in his fingers, turning his head so that they were facing each other.
"I would love to" was all he said before closing the distance between them and locking their mouths together in one of the sweetest and most innocent kisses either of them had ever experienced. They parted only to come together again, kissing tenderly as Duo gently licked the Wufei's bottom lip seeking to deepen there embrace. The Chinese boy accepted the intrusion hesitantly, moaning slightly at the intimate dance being played out between the two. The kiss was broken by the need for air, the two boys looking into each others eyes and resting their foreheads together, panting slightly. Wufei was the first to speak once the caught their breath.
"I'm sorry but, I think I need a little time to think some things over." Duo looked at him for a moment before responding.
"I understand, just let me know when your ready"
"Thank you" was all he could manage as he got up and walked to the door fallowed by Duo.
"I'm willing to wait until your ready" Duo stated as he placed a chaste kiss upon the others lips. Wufei smiled before whispering goodnight and retreating to his own room leaving Duo to contemplate the events of the night. As Duo lay in his bed that night the only dreams he had were of toffee flavored lips and deep obsidian eyes
