Who Would Have Thought? Part 4
"Look, just TELL him! It doesn't hurt to try!" Sally was trying to persuade Noin.
"Yes it does! It always hurts to try! Especially with something like this!" Noin was stubborn like a rock or something that's stubborn.
"People who don't try are quitters." Mariemaia stated behind them.
"Mariemaia! How long have you been there?" Sally waved her hand to come in.
"Long enough to know what you're talking about."
"Everyone is gonna know about this whole situation at this rate." Noin got up and left.
"I think she's upset." Mariemaia kept looking at the spot where Noin was.
Sally let out a long sigh. "I'm too tired to think and I still have to read this report. You ate lunch yet?"
"Duo is getting food for me." Sally nodded and was going to headed for her office when Wufei and Zechs came in.
"Why is that red-headed witch here?" Wufei pointed to her. His hand was immediately slapped down by Sally and Zechs. "Hn. Sally, let us talk. In your office, preferably."
"All right, all right." They left, leaving Mariemaia and Zechs.
"So are you setting Wufei and Noin up?" Mariemaia started the conversation. He looked surprised.
"How about we step into my office?" Zechs offered and he lead the way.
The two walked in and didn't talk until the door was closed. "So, what is it that you want to talk to me about?" Sally sat down in her usual chair.
"Noin." Wufei remained standing but leaned against the wall.
"Noin? What about her?" Sally tried to remain calm and not blurt out the fact that Noin liked him.
Wufei seemed uncomfortable and started to zone out. 'What am I supposed to say? I can't just blurt it out. Have to set the mood.'
"WUFEI!!" Sally was ready to throw something at him.
"What?!"
"You didn't hear me before? I called you like three times already."
"Oh, sorry. Anyway, uh.." 'Set the mood..' "You think Noin likes anyone?" 'That was REAL subtle.' Wufei mentally kicked himself.
"In other words, do I think Noin likes you?"
"That's not what I said!" Wufei straightened.
"But that's what you mean, right?" Wufei blushed until his whole face was red.
"NO!"
"You're a bad liar. But back on topic here. Look, why don't you just ask her yourself? As in you go to her and ask her the question you just asked me, or attempted to ask me." Sally waved Wufei's report in front of her. "It's 1:48 already and I'm not done reading this yet. If you don't go ask her yourself, I'm not bothering to read the rest."
"That's blackmail!"
"Oh hush, you! You're not a fifteen year old boy going through puberty anymore! Instead, you're a seventeen year old boy going through puberty! So in light of that, you can take these matters into your own hands."
Wufei ran out of the office and slammed the door. "BAKA ONNA! She thinks she can tell me what to do, but I, Chang Wufei, shall prove her wrong!" Wufei stuck his head in the door of Sally's office. "So, what do you want me to do now?"
"Go talk to Noin yourself and leave me alone! I'll hand in your crummy report! Goodness!" Wufei stood there a moment longer until Sally threw his report at him.
Wufei returned to his office. "Go ask her yourself. HA! She thinks it's so easy! Why doesn't she ask her then?" He leaned back on his chair to face the ceiling. "How am I supposed to approach her? She should be the one approaching me anyway! I mean, who wouldn't want to confess their love to me?" He leaned back down and looked at the floor. There was a little white note on the floor, right in front of the door. He picked it up and stared at it before opening.
"Wufei, meet me at Sbarro's for
lunch tomorrow." 'Why? And who sent this? I bet it's something stupid.'
"I want to talk to you about how
much stupider stronger you are then women. Sally"
"Well, that seems a little strange of her, but I'll go see what she has to say. Sbarro's? I didn't know she liked Italian." Wufei wrote it down in his planner.
Somewhere else, Noin finds a little white note on her desk. "Lets go out to lunch tomorrow. Is Sbarro's good? I know you like Italian. Sally"
"All right! Sbarro's!" Noin wrote it down in her planner.
Somewhere else, Sally gets confronted by two people. "What did you do and what do you want me to do?" Sally asked the two.
"We wrote Wufei and Noin a little note but you put your name instead or ours." Mariemaia explained. "It says you're going to met them tomorrow at Sbarro's for lunch."
Zechs cut Sally off before she could ask why. "We want you to go to Sbarro's tomorrow for lunch to met up with Wufei and Noin. Then after they both come, you can leave them to their lunch."
"Why should I go if I'm just gonna leave them afterwards?" Sally finally got a word in edgewise.
"We're setting Wufei and Noin up. I'm sure you know how they feel towards each other, but they don't seem to have the guts to tell each other." Mariemaia was playing with a mechanical pencil. "If they don't see you there and see each other, they won't be able to figure out that the whole point was for them to meet up with each other. They'll just sit there and nothing will happen."
"So, what do I get out of it?" Sally leaned against her fist, bored out of her mind.
"The satisfaction of knowing those two will finally be happy." Zechs replied back. Sally raised a questioning eyebrow. "Okay okay, lunch. Anything you want." Sally's face lit up.
"All right. I'll keep up with my half of the deal and you better do the same." Sally had a look of a businessman that just signed a profitable contract. Mariemaia and Zechs had the same look.
The next day, everything went according to plan, Sally reached Sbarro's first, then Wufei.
"Can you move over a little? I can't see anything from here!"
"Be quiet, I can't hear anything."
"Why did you bring me here?"
"You don't want to know what happens to them?"
"Not like this."
"I'm not saying I mind, but just to let you know, you're sitting on top of me."
"Gomen-nasai."
"Hey! My baked ziti! If you guys wanted some, you could have said something! Why are you guys here anyway? And all in one booth?"
"They noticed everyone leaving and I told Duo about it. Sorry." Duo let out a smile between eating Zechs's baked ziti and trying to see Sally and Wufei. "It's just fun talking to him, I couldn't help it."
"Anou, koi? I can't feel my legs anymore."
"Gomen." Quatre slid back into his spot in the booth.
"Hee-chan, you want some ziti?" Duo's fork hovered in front of Heero's face with ziti on its prongs.
"I'll settle for the bread." He grabbed the complementary bread from the tray.
"Hey you guys! Noin just walked in!" Mariemaia climbed up on her knees for a better view.
"Sorry I'm late, Sally, but I had to finish up one of those annual reports." Noin stood there deciding where to sit. "Why is he here?"
"Why is this onna here?" Wufei asked immediately after her. Then they both started to talk about the note they received.
"OKAY!! That's quite enough!" Sally got up from her seat. She pushed Noin into it, across from Wufei. "You two are going to sit here and eat lunch together and talk NICELY to each other and ENJOY it! Got it?! If I hear another objection from both of you, you're getting a pay cut," she looked at Wufei, "and you are going to have to eat Zechs's cooking everyday for every meal until both of you learn how to get along with each other! Understand?!" They both nodded and Sally walked away to where the six giggling "inconspicuous" "adults" were sitting.
"What did you mean by that?! Are you trying to imply that I'm a bad cook?!" Zechs looked up at the half Chinese. Sally looked around for some support, but when she tried to make eye contact with them, they looked away.
"No." Sally quickly thought of something to back up the statement. Zechs was going to say something but she cut him off. "Quick, move in and let me sit somewhere." Sally shoved Zechs into Trowa and Quatre.
"What was all that about?" Noin looked at Sally shoving in three people against the wall. Wufei shrugged and tried to think of something to say.
Wufei's palms where glistening with perspiration. He wanted to tell her but in a natural way. 'Set the mood. Set the mood. Ack! Like that worked last time! Think of something to say. Nobody is talking.' Wufei was about to open his mouth but he shut it closed.
"You want to get something to eat now?" Noin looked at the line for food.
"Uh, sure!" Wufei got up nervously, nearly running into a little kid.
"What's with him?! He looks so nervous. He almost killed that kid! Oh! Hey Mariemaia!" Duo waved at the girl. (In case you didn't get that, Wufei nearly killed Mariemaia. *bows and walks away*)
"What's the matter with him? Didn't he see me coming?!" Mariemaia was in a state of shock.
"So, uh nice weather today, huh?" Wufei didn't even look outside.
"Wufei, it's raining." Noin looked at his head since he was staring straight into his food. He looked outside and promptly sweatdropped.
"Well, you know," he started to laugh nervously, "I like the rain. It's considered good weather to farmers." 'Farmers? Why did I say that? I'm no where near a farmer. This isn't going well.'
"I guess, if you're a farmer." Noin looked at the nervous boy. 'Gosh, he's real nervous. I guess I should be the one to start the conversation. A real conversation at least.'
"So how's.." Wufei started
"SO ANYWAY!" Noin cut him off. "What's going on with Sally and everyone else?" She motioned her head to the nosiest table.
"I dunno, they've been acting strange lately. You think this whole lunch thing was planned out?" Wufei looked straight into her eyes. They shone with anticipation.
"Duh they planned this out!" Wufei straightened and had a peeved look on his face.
"This isn't going anywhere! But at least they're getting along." Sally exclaimed.
"Aw, I just think he's shy and doesn't wanna say anything." Duo finished off the last bit of ziti. "Hey, you got anymore?"
Zechs looked at the empty bowl. "You ate all of it?!"
"Well, what did you expect?" Zechs let the conversation drop there and went to get more. "So anyway, maybe Noin should be the first to make a move."
"Well someone has to, our lunch break is almost up." Trowa pointed to his watch. "Those two dragged Zechs into their conversation."
"They must really have nothing to talk about." Mariemaia looked at the three conversing. "We gotta do something to move this along."
"All right." Heero cocked his gun and started to take aim until everyone tried to refrain him from doing so. He let out a grumble and put his gun back. "You wanted things to move along. Should have killed Zechs and Wufei when I had the chance."
"Zechs! I'm hungry! Hurry up!" Duo called loud enough so everyone was staring at him. "What?"
Zechs began to get up but not before nudging Wufei in the ribs. "Make a move already." He murmured to him.
"It's not as easy as you think!" Wufei glared at him.
"Oh?" Zechs sat next to Noin, facing her. He leaned towards her ear. "I love you." He gave her a kiss on the cheek, smiled sweetly and then looked at Wufei with a triumphant smile. He got up, leaving Noin blushing and Wufei glaring.
"Baka!" Mariemaia hit Zechs upside the head. "Wufei is supposed to be saying that! Not you!"
"I was just proving a point, that's all!" Zechs shoved the plate of food towards Duo. "I'm sure one of them has to say something now, right? We only have 15 minutes left."
"Wrong, we have 10 minutes left, your watch is five minutes slow." Quatre corrected him.
"No, we have five minutes left, Une just called." Heero was putting away his cell phone.
"What was all that about?" Noin putting her hand where the kiss was.
"Oh nothing! Nothing at all!" Wufei turned around to see all seven people staring at him and mouthing to make a move and there's only five minutes left. "Five minutes?! Ack! How can I do this in five minutes?!"
"Do what?" Noin looked at the seven.
"Nothing! Nothing!" Wufei turned back to Noin.
'He's really dragging this out long. And he calls himself a Gundam pilot. HA!' Noin finished the last of her food and started to get up to throw it away.
"Where are you going?" Wufei got scared she decided to leave. Noin slowed down to a crawl and looked back.
"I'm throwing away my trash." Noin gave him a weird stare as if he was crazy. She wasn't half wrong though. Wufei let out a sigh of relief. While Noin was away, the seven confronted him.
"Make a move already!" Mariemaia slapped him upside the head.
"Yeh, this is getting sickeningly boring." Duo exclaimed while examining his hair.
"I thought this was supposed to be a 5x9 or something." Quatre pulled out the script. "Yeh, it says so right here." He pointed to the text.
"It's probably gonna be a 5+9 or a 9+5." Trowa started to flip through the booklet of paper.
"Well it's not MY fault! Blame her!" Wufei pointed to a far off corner with a girl sitting at her computer. The girl turned towards to them with a blank stare.
"Stop pointing! It's rude." She looked directly at Wufei. "Stop using me as a scapegoat!"
"Fen! Make Wufei do something quick or else Une is gonna have our heads on a platter!" Duo complained to her.
"I'm building up the scene or something." Fenril mumbled the last words. "Now leave me alone or else I'll drag this into another part!"
"Hey, who were you just talking to?" Noin walked behind them. Everyone turned towards her and shrugged their shoulders. "Riiiiiiiight!"
Zechs nudged Wufei in the ribs. "All right! Don't rush me! Just go sit down." Everyone moaned but obeyed. "Uh, sit down Noin."
"There something you wanna tell me?" 'Maybe I should just say it instead. He's taking a long time.' Noin wanted to just leave.
"I uh.. I luh.. lovvvvvv.. l-lik.." Wufei took a deep breath before continuing. He was shaking enough to make you think he was going to have a seizure any moment. "I .. I llllliiiiiike .." He kept stuttering and after a while, you couldn't understand him anymore.
"HE LOVES YOU! There! I said if for him! GOSH! How hard was that?!" Sally slapped him across the back of his head. She headed out the door, followed by the others.
"That took long enough." Noin was getting up as well.
"That's all you have to say?!" Wufei finally managed to say it without stuttering. "I thought you felt the same way about me!"
"Yeh, but you just took so long to say that and you didn't even say it in the end." Noin put on her coat and headed for the door. Wufei caught her sleeve right before she reached the door.
"No, wait. Onegai?" Either way, Wufei wouldn't let go of her sleeve. "I was just too nervous. I never had to do this kinda stuff because it never really happened to me." He slowly let go of her sleeve. "This emotion that so many have, love. Ha! It's so blinding and yet I want this emotion. I've fought hundreds of soldiers and I'm now brought down to a weakling by a human emotion." Wufei spit towards the side with a pissed off look on his face. Noin couldn't help but pity him.
"Hey you! Yeh you!" A waitress pointed to Wufei. "Don't you DARE spit on the floor AGAIN! Now clean that up NOW!" Wufei's expression went back to an innocent look and Noin's pity disappeared.
"Brought down by a human emotion and a women." Noin mumbled under her breath. She walked out the door without another word and headed toward the office.
"Noin! Where were you?" Une just happened to bump into her.
"Nowhere special. Sorry to be late." Noin walked past silently.
"What's wrong, Noin? I thought you would be happier then this after what .. Sally said." Zechs looked at the dreary look.
"I think you just answered your own question." They stood there for a minute or so. "You're so stupid!" A smile came on her face and she was cheerful again.
"Noin! Wait!" Wufei ran up towards her, obviously tired from running back to the building. Noin started to walk away.
"Leave me alone." Noin turned but was quickly intercepted by Wufei and slapped across the face. Wufei was angry and wanted to hit her one more time, but he didn't.
"You're not giving me a fair chance! I came the way back running just to apologize and say 'I love you' because that's what you wanted to hear from me and not Sally!"
"Oh. Wufei." Noin sounded like he was dying and if was her fault. "Hit me again and I'll throw you out the window!" She held him by the collar of his shirt. Her expression softened and she leaned over to his cheek to give him a kiss.
Wufei put his hand on his face while she stood back up. "Uh.." Wufei was speechless and his blush deepened into a crimson red.
"Well, that was cute while it lasted." Zechs spoke from the spot where Noin left him.
Somewhere else in time and space...
"Aw, Fen! That was a 5+9! You promised a 5x9!" Duo was sitting next to her while she typed diligently.
"I didn't promise anything!" Fenril looked at the bishounen. Duo pouted. "What am I supposed to add?"
"I'll add it!" Duo grabbed the keyboard.
Noin took Wufei by the shoulders and leaned in for another kiss. "What was that for?" Wufei asked. He was going to continue, but she hushed him.
"Don't ask questions. Besides, I didn't think you would mind." She smiled slightly. "Come with me. We're gonna be leaving early."
"Nani?" Wufei was lead by the hand. "Won't Une have a fit about this?"
"Don't worry about it." She turned towards Zechs that was still standing there. "Tell Une that we're leaving, okay? Thanks."
"Make me get yelled at for something you do." Zechs walked towards Une's office.
"Where are we going?" Wufei demanded to know.
"My place. Any objections?" Wufei raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "I didn't think so."
Back at the office…
"Hey, Hee-chan!" Duo bounced into his office.
"You need something?" Heero said in a monotonous voice.
"I wanted to see you!" He jumped into the other's lap…somehow. "Come on, let's leave. Wufei and Noin just left to go back to her place."
"Why did they leave?" Heero wanted to change the subject.
"Isn't it obvious? They went to bang each other up the ass." Duo started making swirls with his finger on Heero's chest. "You know you want to do the same." Duo gave him a wink.
"Of course I do!" Heero's voice had more expression and feeling this time. A LOT more. "But, omae o korosu...later."
Duo nodded in agreement and stared into Heero's eyes. "You don't mean that, do you?"
"Yes. No!"
Heero gave Duo a hug push
out the door office
and headed towards Duo's place.
But the ones still at the office were Trowa and Quatre. Quatre walked into Trowa in the hall. "Gomen, Trowa-chan!" Trowa couldn't help but smile.
He looked deep into his eyes and said "Heero's stuck at Duo's place so I have to go save him!" But we all know that Trowa didn't REALLY say that. He really said "Leave Duo and Heero alone. They need to be together but so do we! So let's go back to your place. Duo and Heero have the right idea, don't you think?"
Quatre nodded in agreement
and
Heero couldn't resist Duo! Especially the smell of gunpowder.
The aroma filled the room and Trowa
just rememberedhe had more work to do, so he couldn't go with Quatre.But
Quatre told him that everyone else left early so it was
Duo who was theuke
semethis
next time.
"I thought this was supposed to become a 5x9." Fenril looked at the odd scene that was happening.
"Uh...yeh. Don't worry, it will be." Duo pushed her away. Then he resumed his little strip act with Heero. Heero got bored and left, so did Trowa.
Trowa came back into Quatre's bedroom and seduced him right there. "Trowa! I didn't think you were that kinda person! Oops. I mean, Heero! I didn't think you were that kinda person!"
"That's because I'm not that kinda person!" Trowa said, trying to leave the room again but it was locked.
Trowa sighed, realizing there was not point in fighting and hit Duo across the face which was followed by a long passionate kiss. "Oh Quatre! We're so silly! We shouldn't be here!" Quatre tugged on Trowa's boxers which lead to him having a nosebleed.
"I think this is for the better, Duo." Heero started to walk away from the now unconscious Duo but that was what Duo wanted Heero to think, that he was unconscious! Duo seized him from the back and flung onto the bed.
"Hehe, fooled you, didn't I?" Quatre was giggling. "But I decided to let you leave."
"Well, there's no other choice, is there?" Quatre nodded a "Heero! That tickles!" Duo exclaimed loudly.
So Heero punched him across the "I NEED IT NOW!!!" Trowa demanded.
"Okay!" Duo cheerfully said. But Trowa had to go visit his "I'm sorry, but there's someone else for me out there. I hope you understand."
"Who?" Duo was teary eyed.
"Relena!!" Heero screamed loudly so everyone could hear him, even her.
"Omae o korosu!!!" Heero chased Duo down.
"If that's the game you wanna play, koi, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Heero loves Relena!!! Hehe!!" Duo got pinned down by a furious Heero.
"Am I...turning you on?"
Trowa ran
out of the room. "Maybe we can just be friends." He looked back at the
Heero pulled
out his gun, ready to killss
Duo.
"Oh Trowa-chan! I didn't know you felt that way about me! HHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahahahaha!!" Trowa was tied down to a bed.
"DUO!! This isn't going the way you said it would!"
"Just give me a few more pages, I mean lines!!" Duo was trying to make some scrambled eggs in the kitchen.
"See Fen! They kept changing the story so it'll never be done!" He explained. "Why are you here anyway? Is this gonna turn into a Mary Sue?"
"AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! NO!! No Mary Sues!! No Mary Sues!! Unless I'm making fun of it." Fenril started to trot away. "Just try to finish up, okay?"
"All right guys, lets finish this."
"Wufei and Noin fucked all night and everyone lived happily ever after. The end."
"Trowa! I didn't know you thought that way!" Trowa shrugged and took Quatre by the hand.
"You don't know a lot about me." They walked away.
"I liked his ending. Simple and direct." Heero commented. "How about it just ends like that?"
Duo thought about it. "Sure,
why not?"

Sorry it
was so long. Just to clear up some confusion in case you had any, this
was Duo typing, Quatre,
Heero, and Trowa.
