Warnings: uhm…erm…same as the others I guess!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Wufei called Ms. Sally to his room while, once again, Duo hid in the closet. He could hear their voices faintly. "What's the matter Wufei? You look..troubled." Sally said, sitting beside Wufei on his bed. "Well Ms. Po, there is something I need to ask of you. But you need to promise that you won't tell anyone. I need your trust." Sally's eyes widened slightly.
"Okay Wufei. You can trust me. What's wrong?" She asked. Wufei took a deep breath and said, "You know the boy that is missing from the conference?" Sally nodded. "Well…he's here. And I want him to stay here. That isn't the point though. We need you to tell the bathing lady that I don't need her so Duo and I can bathe together…to avoid suspicion for the water being run more than twice a day." Wufei glanced up at Sally's eyes.
She smiled slightly. "Wufei, you know…this will hurt me severely if your father—" Wufei shook his head. "He already knows. Me and him have an understanding right now, and it is of utmost importance if you don't let anyone else know." He interrupted. /God…I really hope they hurry it up! It's damn hot in here./ Duo thought as he pulled off his coat. The silken garbs that were hanging in the closet looked mighty airy.
"Okay. But only because I love you Wufei. Please, please don't get into trouble okay?" Sally asked, putting her hand on Wufei's shoulder. The Chinese prince nodded and kissed her gently on the cheek. "Thank you Sally." She bowed and was gone. "Duo, you can come out now." Wufei said after the closet remained closed. "Just a second." Came a muffled response.
Wufei walked over to the closet door wearily. "Duo? What's going on?" he asked. Ther door swung open, nearly breaking Wufei's nose in the process. His eyes widened beyond their limits. Duo had invited himself to try on a pair of Wufei's silken pajamas. They were all black, which was why Wufei never wore them. Black was too…depressing. "Wh…I…wow…" Wufei stuttered. Duo did look cute in those pajamas!
A short while later, there was a knock on the door. "Master Wufei, it's time for your bath." Wufei pushed Duo into the bath room and closed the door. "Come in." He said. A servant came in with a wash cloth and towels in her hands. "Thank you, but I'll do it myself. You can have a few days off." Wufei said with a smile. The servant bowed. "Thank you master Wufei." Wufei walked into the bathroom and turned the hot water on. It was best to have a hot bath. That way, it relaxes your muscles faster and if it cools down, it won't be freezing.
Duo stood sheepishly while Duo pulled off his silky pajama shirt. "Duo…go behind the screen and undress." Wufei said, laughing slightly as Duo blushed tomatoes in the corner. "Oh…right." He said, running behind the screen. Wufei stripped off the rest of his clothes and slid into the tub. Duo came out, wrapped in a towel. He stood next to the tub and said, "Okay, I'm going to open the towel and you're gonna grab it so you…can't see anything. When I'm under the water, you can move the towel." Wufei nodded and took the towel.
What was Duo so embarrased about? It's not like Wufei didn't have a chibi of his own. There was an awkward silence as they sat in the tub. Wufei pulled the elastic out of his hair and dunked his head under the water. Duo's hands flew to cover his member. Wufei giggled under the water, causing a few bubbles to rise to the top of the water. He lifted his head up and laughed some more. Duo grinned and put his hand behind his head. "Oh…heh…sorry. I'm sorta shy." He said.
Wufei grabbed Duo's braid and started to unravel it. "Here, I'll wash your hair first." He said, turning Duo's body around so his back faced Wufei. "Okay.." Duo replied nervously. "So…any interesting stories to tell?" Wufei asked. Duo shugged. /Strong looking shoulders./ "I guess…I have a cat at home. She's a real cutie. She likes to stay with me when I'm working. When I sleep outside on the hammock, she sleeps on my chest. But my dad says she's annoying and gets in the way. He's kind of a two mirrored guy. He'll come off nice to everyone but be a bastard to me."
What happened next surprised Duo. He found Wufei's arms wrapping around his chest and holding them tightly. "I..I…" he stumbled. "Mmm…I like this.." Wufei whispered. Duo smiled weakly. /Was that a pass? Is he making passes at me?! Gods I hope so!!/ There was a knock on the bathroom door, causing Wufei to pull back. "Y-Yes?" he asked. "Master Wufei, your father is here to see you." The door swung open and Chen's eyes widened more than physically possible.
Wufei turned white as a sheet. Chen grabbed both teens by the arm and pulled them out of the tub. Wufei shouted at his father in Cantonese, while he desperatly tried to find a towel to cover himself with. Luckily, the servant managed to give Wufei two towels. "What the hell are you doing!?" Chen shouted. The servant left quickly, closing the door tightly. Wufei quickly wrapped the towel around his waist, while handing Duo the other one. "What do you think?! We were batheing." Wufei replied. Duo watched dumbfounded as the two Chinese men argued back and forth.
"And you think this is okay?!" At this rate, someone was going to hear the commotion. "Why isn't it father?! You think it's perfectly to go screw another woman—" :slap: Duo jumped as Chen's hand struck Wufei's cheek. "One day or another father, you're going to realize that this can't be solved with you slapping me! Grow up!" Duo wondered what Wufei was saying that was getting him slapped. "I will discipline you as I feel necessary. For the time being you will not question my actions, understood?!" Wufei nodded weakly and Chen was gone.
"Oh Gods are you okay?!" Duo asked, crawling over to the very wet, naked Wufei. "Yeah. I'm okay." Wufei replied, crawling up from the floor. "Jeez, what happened?" Duo asked. Wufei pulled a few more towels from the bathroom closet and sighed. "He asked what we were doing, I told him, he asked if we thought it was 'okay' to do so, so I brought up his affair. Don't worry about it." He started drying his hair, while he sat on the bed. Duo wrapped a towel around his hair and joined Wufei. "So..he's having an affair?" Duo asked, drying off and making sure the towel stayed around his waist.
Wufei nodded. "Yeah. The only reason you're still here is because of that. If I didn't know…" Duo layed back on the bed and sighed. "Man that sucks. How do you know he'll let me stay?" he asked, putting his hands behind his head. Wufei stood up and went to get his silky pajamas. "That's what we'll have to pray for."
The Next Morning…..
"Aaah! I gotta get out of this room. Isn't there any where we can go Wufei?" Duo moaned. Wufei shrugged. "I don't know. We can risk getting caught by some servants but father's out doing buisness today." He said with a sly grin. Duo hopped up from the floor and ran to the door. "Then come on!!" He took Wufei's hand and slid out the door. They escaped to the library, where they managed to slip out the window into another garden full of colorful flowers and swings. "Wow…this place is great!" Duo said, sticking his head into a bush of flowers and inhaling deeply.
"Isn't it?" Wufei smiled, sitting on a swing. Duo grinned and flopped onto the lush green grass. "I could stay here for hours…and it smells great too! Like a million flowers all in one place." He sighed and looked over at Wufei. "I wish I could stay here with you forever." He said sadly. Wufei rested his head on the rope of the swing. "Me too…"
