*Disclaimer- Yea, yea, yea..the usual: don't own GW, do own all original characters/Gundams n plot, and no the name Yuri does not mean yuri as in yaoi/yuri. Please r&r! Oh, what's the use. I GIVE UP! Don't r&r. I don care anymore. Gomen ne, I'm in a bitchy mood right now.
***Yuri***
The morning sun shone through my window, lighting everything in a brilliant golden shine. Blue jays were chirping cheerfully outside to one another while the cool spring breeze flew by softly. This is what I woke up to the next day, along with the delicious smell of pancakes and cappuccino.
I stood up and stretched my arms and legs, then went to brush my teeth. The reflection in the mirror was definitely not pleasant. My eyes were puffy from the tears shed the night before. I groaned inwardly. Well, nothing a good face washing and a tad bit of makeup can't fix. With that done, I combed my hair and threw on an oversized white t-shirt and black leggings. I halted at the bedroom door, preparing myself to meet Duo.
"Ohayo, Duo."
He looked up from the Sunday newspaper with his mouth stuffed. "Goohd mofning! Haf sum phood."
A grin forced its way onto my face. "Did you make this?"
"Yep. It actually turned out decent, if I do say so myself. The cappuccinos I got at Starbucks, though. There's no way I can make coffee that good. Trust me, I've tried. Hilde has a new kitchen due to my experimenting." he replied, after downing his food with a gulp of coffee.
"Tsk, tsk. Well, if I get food poisoning, you're paying for it."
Things went on like usual. Neither one of us really wanted to bring up last night's incident. After I did the bills and laundry, I asked Duo if he wanted to go to the mall with me. There was going to be a huge sale today, and the thought of new clothes was really appealing. He agreed without hesitation.
"Duo, if you're going to the mall with me, you're going to have to do better than a shirt and boxer shorts. I'm not going to be seen with you like that."
"Ha! And what about you? T-shirt and leggings?"
"No, for your info, I'm going to go put on a blouse and jeans. You?"
"Oh. Well, umm....I'll have to go see what's in my suitcase..yea.." He made a beeline for his room, and I smirked triumphantly.
**At the mall**
"Yuuuuuri, are you done in there? Come out and lemme see!" whined a bored Duo.
"Just a sec.."
I stepped out timidly in a red tube-top and baggy blue jeans. This is not my usual style; I don't have a single top in my closet without a strap. But Duo suggested this and pushed me into the dressing room, insisting that I try it on and let him see. His excuse?
"Please? I've never seen a girl in one of those, and I really want to know how they keep those up."
Hmph. BS Well, truth be told, I was also wondering exactly how do you keep those things from falling off.
Duo whistled loudly, attracting a lot of attention from other male shoppers there with their female friends. They gawked. I turned scarlet. The ladies hit their men on the head and scolded.
"Duo!!!" I hissed.
"Nani? You look great, be proud! If you won't buy that, I'll purchase it for you and make you wear it when out with me. I want to make every other guy jealous."
"Hey, I'm not your doll! And fine then, I'll just avoid being seen in the same place as you."
"Aw come on. If you look good in something, then you should wear it."
Fifteen minutes later, he finally talked me into it. I paid the cashier, and dragged Duo into a clothing store for guys. He looked like he could use some new clothes.
***Duo***
I was really glad Yuri decided to buy the red tube top and baggy jeans. She looked wonderful in it, and I noticed every guy in the store stared at her when I whistled my approval.
"What size do you wear?" she asked, standing next to a pile of jeans.
"Doshite?"
"Baka. You're not a girl, what does it matter if you tell me?"
"Boys can keep secrets too you know!" I compromised by grabbing my own size. (AN: I have no idea how the size chart goes with male clothing, so I'm not giving him a size)
"Hey, this plaid shirt looks nice. You'd look really great in it with a white shirt and those jeans." (AN: alright, so maybe it doesn't look that great. but I have a thing for guys dressed like that. I'm weird)
I just moaned painfully.
"If you want me to go places with you, then you better dress nicely." was all she said.
I pouted, but saw her considering some leather items. She looked at a pair of leather pants, then at me, and back to the pants. I wonder if she wanted me to see me in a pair? Well, in that case......
Grinning, I grabbed one in my size along with a black trench coat. She looked startled. "So, ojosan. You want to see me in leather? You have your wish. I'll be right out."
Yuri blushed. "No, no, that's ok. You don't have to if you don't want to! Really!"
I came out five minutes later, and totally got the reaction I wanted. Her soft mouth formed into a small 'o' and she gasped.
"...Oh my..God..Duo, you look....don't take this the wrong way, but you look hot!"
"Thank you, thank you very much. Of course I do. I think I'll go charge this on my card."
She shook her head. "If you really want it, I'll buy it for you. I still haven't thanked you properly for the bracelet.
"You did with that kiss."
Yuri looked down, but then smiled shyly at me. "I owe you for that too." she quietly commented.
I changed back into my clothes and picked up the leather pants, jacket, plaid shirt, and jeans. She took the clothing from me and went to pay for them. I watched her walk off, wondering what her last statement meant.
***Yuri***
Lightly, I hinted to him that I did enjoy the kiss we shared. I was still really confused, but that didn't mean I didn't like the moment. His intent gaze was fixed on my back as I walked to the cashier.
After getting Duo the new clothes, we decided to head to the food court for a drink since Duo had been complaining/whining for the past hour or so. We were on our way when I suddenly noticed a girl in a black mini-skirt, knee-high boots, and a rather revealing halter-top standing behind a post. She had a map of the mall and looked like she was calculating something, judging from the pieces of paper full of arrows and diagrams. The girl wore sunglasses, and her long brown hair was covering parts of her face, but she looked so familiar...
"Kenmei?" I asked cautiously.
The girl let out a small cry of surprise and dropped her papers, along with her sunglasses. It was Kenmei all right.
"Hey Kenmei. Looking good!" Duo whistled.
She shot him a don't-mess-with-me look and Duo actually shut up.
"Sorry about Duo, Kenmei. What's wrong?"
Kenmei picked up her papers and replied, "If I'm still alive after today, remind me to kill Quatre."
Duo couldn't help but ask, "But why? I thought you guys were friends,"
Looking around to make sure no one was near, Kenmei began her story.
"It all started this morning, when Quatre asked me if I could take his three newly arrived sisters shopping. He promised that he'll ask Instructor H to let me have the day off and treat me to any restaurant I wanted. So I thought, okay, I'll have the day off, take his sisters shopping, and make him pay for a five hundred dollar dinner. Well, he apparently "forgot" to tell me that those three were the ones who had dressed him up in a dress before, and I guess showing up in a t-shirt, loose jeans, and pony tail wasn't a very good idea. You see, they suddenly had evil glints in their eyes after seeing me, and well," Kenmei whispered in a low voice, "they've decided to give me a make-over."
Duo burst out laughing and calmed himself twenty minutes later, only because his stomach started to hurt.
"Lemme guess," I said while looking at the various diagrams covered with writing, "you are trying to stay away from them?"
"I escaped while they went into a beauty parlor. God I hate these boots, you can't even walk in them!" She looked down at her four and a half inch heels.
I shook my head. "Walking in those are easy enough with practice, just don't ever try to run in them.. Trust me, I've tried. I couldn't be seen in public with shorts on for a month, in the summer!"
Now massaging his stomach, Duo asked, "Why didn't you stop them?"
"You think I didn't? I never knew they could be so strong! Besides, I don't think I can still get my five hundred dollar dinner if I shot Quatre's sisters."
"So you thought running away was a better idea?"
"I know, but they were going to..." Kenmei didn't get to finish her sentence, because three girls about five years older than us came over and dragged her away.
"So here you are, Kenmei. Come on now, your manicure is waiting." Sister #1 said.
"Please, don't take me there. I'll do anything, anything..." she begged.
"Silly, of course you want a manicure. All girls do." Sister #2 explained while throwing Kenmei's diagrams away.
"No! My escape plans! I spent an hour on those..."
Duo and I decided not to interfere with this little meeting...
*ten minutes later*
A faint scream came from the direction where Kenmei went.
"Somebody shoot me!" came the shout, followed by a loud blast and more screams and smoke.
"Yuri should we go help her?"
I laughed. "Nah, let's not. She'll live, I think. Probably the worst that could happen would be her ending up with neon orange nail polish and being sued for blowing up the parlor.. In that case she'll strangle me for laughing at her, and then beg to remove it. Oh, this should be very interesting indeed. Wait. Poor Quatre. He'll have to pay for her. Oh well!"
"You're evil, you know that?"
*shrug* "I know. Now, we never did get the food you wanted so much."
Big mistake. Duo grabbed my hand and ran to get in line for pizza. After he finished off six big slices of a variety of pizzas, we went to check if Kenmei and Quatre's pushy sisters were still alive. Then we returned home, where Duo decided home was boring and we should go to a night club to party instead.
Fin
Funny? Not funny? I'm no good at humor fics. So don't flame me if you didn't like it. Pft. What's the point of saing that.
