Disclaimer: Gundam Wing, mine? Why... I don't know what to say! How sweet of you! I just... no one's ever given me anything like this before! What? You mean... it's not for me? It wasn't ever mine? How... how rude!

Heero is going to be ooc in this story. I think some people might say Quatre is ooc as well, but I figure that in any romance fiction pretty much everybody's going to be ooc. Love tends to make people act wierd, or at least in my book it does. So, look out for slight oocness from everybody. All in harmless fun, of course.

To Seduce Trowa

Chapter 2 ~ For the Moment

He was breathing heavily and fixing his trailing hair back into it's braid as the elevator dinged and slid open. He hurried out, not looking up, only to be brought short by a very familiar set of pectoral muscles. Duo looked up into cobalt blue eyes.

"You missed our briefing."

Duo grinned maniacally, "Sorry, just catching up on old times with your new sex kitten."

He delighted in the slight blush that drew along Heero's cheekbones, before it disappeared and he was treated to a patented death glare.

"You're not to tell anyone that I call him that."

Duo's eyebrows shot up and his mouth hung slightly open. He cleared his throat as Heero walked past him into the elevator and slid around on his heel. "I was joking, Heero. You call him your sex kitten?"

This time Heero really did blush and jabbed hurriedly at the lobby button of the preventer's only, slightly dingy elevator. He didn't deign to answer Duo, and the long-haired brunet had to slip into the elevator before the doors closed in his face.

It was quiet for a moment.

"So..."

They both stared at the closed metal doors as the floors went by, marked only by a soft ding at each one.

"...lovely weather?"

Heero grunted.

"Seriously though, Heero. How long have you known Quatre and Trowa were broken up?"

Heero shifted slightly. "About a month and a half."

Duo blinked and then whined up at the ceiling, "why does nobody tell me these things?"

"Trowa asked me not to tell anyone."

"So?"

They looked at eachother for a moment, Duo exasperated and Heero confused. "I told him I wouldn't."

"So?"

"So... I didn't?"

Duo sighed and leaned back against the cool metal, moving slightly as a bar dug into his back. "What kind of friendship is this, that you don't gossip with me?"

"Gossip?"

Heero stared at him, with a look as incredulous as Duo had ever seen on his best friend's face.

"Yeah, gossip. I think that, knowing them just as long as you have, I have just as much right to nose around in their personal business."

Heero rolled his eyes and stepped out of the elevator as the doors opened to admit a few scraggly haired office workers. Duo followed him, dancing around the mass of people who had parted ways for Heero, but just had to block his path.

"In the future, buddy, would you mind filling me in?"

"Why? They've already broken up, and you know about it now."

"Yeah, but I mean... if they... what I mean is... oh, shut up."

Heero smirked and Duo scowled and they left it at that.

For the moment.

Quatre looked around the small, dingy apartment, and considered this new development in his personal life. Two and a half months ago, when things with Trowa had come to a sudden and abrupt end, Quatre had been heartbroken. They'd been sitting across the breakfast table from each other and just looking.

They hadn't had sex in weeks.

They hadn't cuddled in days.

And Quatre didn't want to.

He didn't want sex with Trowa, he didn't want to cuddle. He just didn't want Trowa. Not anymore. All that lovely, sugary feeling he'd always had with Trowa had melted away bit by bit until, surprisingly enough, there was nothing left. There wasn't any attraction. No passion. Just something detatched and sligthly... brotherly.

And when, just a few moments before, Trowa had informed Quatre that he thought it would be best for them to take a break, Quatre hadn't been devastated. He'd been...relieved.

So they'd taken a 'break,' and when they'd gotten together for lunch a month later, they'd decided to extend the break.

Indefinitely.

That night, Quatre had gone home and picked up all the pictures he'd had of them together, and gone through them again with a fresh eye. Puppy love was apparent in the older pictures, but it had quickly faded to some sort of practiced affection. It was a wonder it had taken them this long to come to their senses, and Quatre supposed it had something to do with their growing dependence on each other. Trowa was one of the few people Quatre knew who knew exactly what he'd done. Who knew he wasn't some innocent little billionaire. Who didn't look at him with a slightly indulgent expression.

And Quatre was one of the few people who knew Trowa Barton wasn't really who he said he was. Who knew almost everything there was to know about Trowa Barton, and didn't care.

It was easy to see why they'd stayed together, but it wasn't enough in the long run. They had a chance to look for love.

And then yesterday, right after a stressful meeting, opening up what promised to be an even more stressful day, Quatre Winner had run, quite literally, into an old friend.

Heero Yuy.

They'd exchanged pleasantries, or what could be considered pleasantries to the stoic perfect soldier, and agreed to have lunch.

They'd met at a little café hours later across from Heero and Duo's apartment, and, while waiting for the food, Quatre found himself in a similar staring match to the one he'd had with his ex-boyfriend on the last day of their relationship.

Only this didn't feel quite so strained.

Heero had mumbled something about having lunch at his apartment, Quatre had nodded, and they'd somehow ended up on Heero's living room sofa, clothes strewn across the room, the most exquisite sounds coming out of Heero's mouth.

How... unexpected.

Quatre still didn't know quite how it had happened, he just knew that, with Heero, he didn't feel shy or sweet or pleasant.

He felt... sexy.

Quatre shook his head at the thought and went in search of his own underwear.
