"Who Would Have Thought?" Part 2
"Something the matter?" Zechs asked Noin. "Your dinner is getting cold." Noin's fork was in the food, but it never reached her mouth for the past five minutes. She looked up at the sound of his voice. His hair was still long and it was at the bottom of his butt now, but she likes it long.
"Oh, sorry. Just thinking." She ate something off her plate that tasted like chicken, but doesn't everything taste like chicken? "This is pretty good." She forced the words out of her throat. His cooking wasn't too great when they started going out four months ago. She gave him some cooking lessons and he practiced a bit. He was making progress.
"Really? You think so? I've been practicing everyday, with some help from my cook of course. But I made this all by myself." He sounded like a child who just came home with an 'A' after mostly getting 'F's.
'Practicing everyday? I think he needs to practice every minute.' Noin urged a smile. "Would I lie to you about your cooking?" She fought the urge to burst out laughing.
"So, what were you thinking about?" Zechs tried to bring that back on topic.
"Oh, it was nothing, really." Noin tried to avoid the topic.
"You used to tell me everything, Noin. I remember, back at the Academy, you would always tell me everything during breakfast and lunch. And after everyone went to sleep, you would call up and talk to me." Zechs looked like he was in some fantasy.
"No I didn't. Not during breakfast at least. And to be honest, I didn't tell you everything, I told you at least half of what I knew. I needed someone to talk to and you were always there." She saw Zechs was a bit hurt by her statement. "But I always looked forward to talking to you. I mean, I always liked to talk to you."
"So, wanna tell me what you were thinking about?" He was determined to find out.
"Wufei." She said it plain and clear enough for a deaf person to hear. Zechs nearly fell out of his seat. It wasn't what he had expected, at all. He then started to laugh hysterically.
"Why are you thinking about him? I thought you hated him!" Noin told him a brief summary of the day's events. She told him about what Mariemaia thought about she and Wufei. "You're gonna believe a girl who didn't even hit puberty yet?" Zechs stared at her with disbelief.
"Well, no, not entirely at least. I dunno. She might be right." She caught her mistake in saying the last phrase, but it was too late.
"WHAT?! Am I hearing this right? You might actually like…Wufei? The same Wufei that called you 'weak' and 'onna' and 'weak onna?'" Zechs was on the edge of his seat. Noin hesitated but nodded. "But, you two fight all the time! I just don't get it. I really don't know who women think." He paused for a moment thinking. He let out a chuckle. "You hurt the one you love." Noin's eyes widened enough to fit dinner plates in her eyes like contacts.
"What are you doing?! First you're trying to piece together the fact that I might actually like him. Now you're trying to figure out reasons that we're meant to be!" She was baffled and didn't know what else to say. Zechs let out another chuckle and put his hand on top of hers.
"I was only kidding…well sorta at least. But can we finish eating first? I didn't spend 5 hours preparing dinner to see it go to waste." Noin let out a sigh and finished dinner. Afterwards, Noin decided that she should do the dishes. She was washing a glass cup and nearly dropped it by the comment Zechs made.
"I think you and Wufei make a cute couple." He didn't seem bothered by the situation anymore. He seemed more like he wanted them to get together. Or maybe he just liked to tease her.
"You can't be serious." Noin turned away from him so he couldn't see her blushing.
"I'm kinda serious. Half and half, I guess. Actually, no. You two do look cute together." Noin was speechless.
"You're not jealous that I like another," she hesitated to say 'man' "guy?"
"No, not really. Don't ask me why though. I mean, if you wanna break up to go pursue your 'guy,' go ahead." He shrugged off the last sentence. 'Not like I can't find another girl a week later. But it's not my fault they all like the way I look.'
Noin couldn't believe what she was hearing. It wasn't that she was angry because of what he said, she just couldn't believe it. 'He could find another girl in two days. He has his little black book, he'll survive. But I don't wanna leave him. We could still be friends.' "You're serious about what you said?"
"Was there ever a time I wasn't serious?" She thought it over. Most of the time, he was pretty serious about what he said. Especially when he said he was going to drop Libra on Earth. Who would have thought he actually meant it? She nodded in agreement and said she would think about it. When she arrived home, she went straight to bed, she didn't want to think about it.
The next day was like any other ordinary day at work, except she distanced herself a bit more from Zechs and Wufei. Nobody really noticed, except Sally.
"Noin? Are you and Zechs having a fight?" Sally sat next to her during their lunch break.
"No, why do you ask?" Immediately after saying the last word, it dawned upon her that that was a stupid question to ask.
"Well, you two have been ignoring each other the whole day. Did something happen over dinner last night?" Sally waited for a moment, but she wouldn't talk. "Come on. I won't tell anyone! Did he ask you to marry him or something? Oh, I know! He has another girl! He does seem like a player." She trailed off with the idea.
"No no! Nothing like that! We didn't get into a fight."
"Oh? Then what is it?" Sally was dying to know by now.
"Okay, but promise me you won't tell anyone!" Sally nodded. "Well, last night, we were eating dinner and I guess I was sorta out of it and.."
"Where is that onna? She's supposed to be reading my report and make sure it's suitable for Une." Wufei stops at Sally's door to her office. "'Wufei-eating lunch now. Read through half your report. Don't worry.-Sally.' Eating lunch now?! You think Chang Wufei is going to wait for you to finish?! Knowing that weak woman, she'll take at LEAST 30 minutes! This report is supposed to be in my 2pm. It's already 12:30!"
"AHAHAHAHAHA!!! You've gotta be kidding!!!"
"That's Sally's voice. What can she be laughing about? Is it my report?! I bet she's laughing about my report!"
"What's so great about Wufei? I mean of ALL people!" Sally's voice resonated in the room. Wufei was stunned by the comment.
"What does she mean by that?!" He rushed over to where they were. Sally was laughing her ass off and Noin was blushing like a madman.
"I mean, come on! Zechs was sitting right in front of you! Ahahaha!!! The same arrogant, egoistic, woman-hating Chang Wufei?!" Noin nodded in silence and realized Wufei was standing right behind Sally. "Why would you be thinking about him?"
"Uh..Sally." She pointed to Wufei.
"Sally!" Sally turned to see the rather furious boy.
"Wufei! Oh, I can explain! Wait, why should I explain to you? You work for me?" She turned away from Wufei for a moment. "I guess for the friendship." She mumbled and turned back. She opened her mouth to say something but was cut short by the palm of Wufei's hand.
"First! Let me attend to the matter of Noin thinking about me. THEN! I will talk to you!" Wufei had a scolding eye with some curiosity hidden behind the angered look. Noin didn't know what to say and Sally couldn't talk until after the matter was settled.
Noin cleared her throat and began, "Well, you
see..
