Wufei walked up to the mahogany door and stared at the golden numbers nailed to it. Room number seventeen. He was even sure how he had made it up the stairs. His heart rate kept speeding up as each step took him closer and closer to the mysterious boy. Damn Quatre. Quatre knew Wufei was horrible in social situations and yet he insisted on him meeting as many new people as possible. Wufei just hoped that Quatre didn't have an eye on Trowa, he wouldn't be able to bear seeing the dark haired beauty fall for someone else. Yet he wouldn't blame the boy for Quatre was quite the catch....and it wasn't as if Wufei was going to try anything. Wufei let out a loud sigh and quickly knocked twice on the door eager to get the ordeal over with.
The door soundlessly slide open and Wufei felt his eyes go wide as he took in the site before him. The boy was so much more beautiful up close. His skin was lightly tanned and Wufei could see the slight definition of muscles under the tight black T-shirt the boy was wearing. The shirt was tucked into *very* tight jeans and Wufei looked up quickly to make sure he was not caught staring.
"Hi!" Quatre stated cheerfully. Trowa smiled and backed up allowing them to pass through the door. As Wufei passed him, he felt the boys gaze follow him but quickly dismissed the fact. After all, Wufei had smacked into him and now was sharing an apartment with him. And he's forgotten to introduce himself! Wufei turned to introduce himself but found that no sound came out. Fortunately the dark haired boy hadn't noticed for he was busy locking the door. Wufei turned back around and walked up to the entrance of what appeared to be the living room. The couch had already been folded out into a bed and Wufei suddenly felt very tired.
"I hope you don't mind the arrangements." Wufei jumped as he heard a voice right behind him. Quatre let out a small laugh and Wufei was quick to give him a silencing glare. "I presumed that you two were used to sharing a bed and didn't bother setting up the extra mattress." Wufei felt his cheeks redden as Trowa's last line sank in. He thought...
"N-no! I-I mean the arrangements are fine b-but I...I mean..we...um." Oh god there was no way Wufei could say it. Great, first five minutes and he was already turning into a stuttering idiot. This day was getting better.
"Oh we're not a couple" Quatre giggled. Wufei let out a sigh of relief that he no longer had to explain the situation. "Wufei and I are just friends. However, we don't mind the sleeping arrangements. It's really nice of you to let us crash here."
"Oh I see." Trowa looked back and forth between Quatre and Wufei. "I apologize. I shouldn't have been so presumptuous but after I heard how far you two traveled to get here, well....I just knew no friend of mine would willingly do that. I guess you're just a lucky man Quatre. Your name is Wufei?" Wufei melted once again under the boys gaze. Well he couldn't spend the rest of the night not speaking to anyone.
"Y-yeah. Sorry I didn't introduce myself I just...forgot", Wufei ended lamely. He berated himself for sounding so juvenile. How was he ever to attract a boy if he couldn't even manage a declarative sentence?
"Well, I'll make sure I don't forget that. Anyway in that door is the bathroom. My room is around the corner and through that opening is the Kitchen. Of course you guys won't need that until breakfast. I usually make pancakes so you can have some of those if you want. There's also yogurt and cereal if you want. It's almost 7 and Heero could show up any minute so you two might want to get ready. That is if you're changing."
"Changing for what?" Wufei gave Trowa and curious look but then quickly became suspicious and turned his gaze towards Quatre. The young blonde was grinning from ear to ear until he looked at Wufei. His smile quickly faded and he whacked his forehead.
"Sorry Wufei I forgot to tell you that we're going out for dinner. The four of us that is. I met a guy name Heero at auditions and he's coming too. Oh please don't give me that look Wufei. I know your tired but I promise it'll be fun. Please?" Quatre gave him the biggest puppy dog eyes he'd ever seen. Looking at Trowa, Wufei found a small smirk forming on the boys face. He had definitely lost this battle.
"Fine, but I'm not dressing up." Wufei the statement wasn't worth much since they were undoubtedly not going to a fancy restaurant but he didn't like going down without a fight...however pathetic that fight was. Quatre let out a small yelp and tackled Wufei to the ground. The blonde then ran of to the bathroom with his back all the while shouting to Wufei about how he was the greatest and that it didn't matter if he changed for he already looked good. Wufei blushed and look down in order to remind himself that he had dressed himself in a plain pair of khakis and a white buttoned-down shirt. Then he suddenly realized he was left in the room alone with Trowa. He looked up to find two gorgeous emerald eyes gazing back at him. He felt very wanton as the eyes sweeped over him.
"How come you didn't try out? You look as though you could easily pass the dance section of auditions."
"Oh, I prefer watching."
"You like watching huh?" There was a rather uncomfortable silence and Wufei nervously looked down at his feet. "Well I suppose everyone likes different things but it really is much more fun to participate. Who really wants to be left on the sidelines? I bet if you tried you'd have a good shot. You seem to have a dancer's body and you definitely have the looks." Wufei tried not keep his head from shooting up to look and the boy but wasn't successful. "Besides, Quatre already told me that you sing beautifully. All that's left is the acting portion, and with such perfection in the other areas, well, I'm sure that would be a piece of cake for you. Or if you want I could help you with that section?" Wufei's heart was pounding a mile a minute. Was this boy really praising him so much? Maybe he was overreacting. Perhaps this was the way Trowa treated everyone.
"I'm not sure if I really want to try acting right now but thanks." Wufei was proud that he'd finally managed to spit out a sentence without stuttering.
"Oh but it's fun to try out new things" Trowa whispered as he took a step closer. Wufei's eyes went wide and he suddenly was paralyzed with fear. What was going on here? Suddenly they heard a door creak open and Quatre stepped out of the bathroom. He was dressed in form fitting back pants and a loose dark blue buttoned-shirt that was left partially undone. Quatre had dressed up for someone and Wufei had a feeling it wasn't for either of the two boys in the room. Wufei was about to comment on the outfit when a knock was heard coming from the front door.
It was Heero. Wufei looked at the newcomer and with a start realized it was the push-up boy from auditions. How Quatre did love his muscles. The boy was now dressed in a form-fitting black turtleneck and black jeans. Quatre practically jumped into the boy's
arms and Heero greeted him equally enthusiastically. They quickly set off towards the restaurant.
*******
"This ice cream is soooo good" Quatre crooned as he collapsed into a fit of giggles. Heero gazed at the blonde fondly. The blonde held up a spoonful of ice cream to the messy haired boy and he gleefully to a mouthful never breaking eye contact with the boy. Wufei smiled to himself. The dinner had actually gone fairly well. He had been little miffed when Quatre and sat next to Heero, leaving Wufei next to Trowa. Wufei had been nervous thinking that he would end up acting like an immature teenage boy again. Fortunately he hadn't had to talk too much and actually found that the conversations flowed freely from his mouth when he had something to contribute. How odd that he had felt to uncomfortable before they'd left. It didn't seem as if Trowa was hitting on him now. He had such an overactive imagination.
"Who want to go to Club Noir tonight?" Heero suddenly asked. "It's a great club. They have the best music and they don't close until seven in the morning. Besides they sometimes give you free drinks!"
"Oh I want to go!" Quatre cried excitedly. "How about you Wufei?" Wufei gulped nervously. He hated dancing in front of people. Well actually he was more fearful of dancing with someone. He'd had about all he could take for one night.
"I-I'm really tired. You guys can go I'll just back to the apartment. I'll see you in the morning ok Quatre."
"But Wufei! You didn't bring your car. You rode over with Trowa remember." Wufei's heart sunk at that fact.
"That's ok I'll take you back. I'm not really in a dancing mood right now." Trowa stated. "Quatre why don't you go with Heero to Club Noir and I'll bring Wufei back?" Quatre agreed enthusiastically and quickly took off with Heero.
Wufei felt awkward being left with Trowa but chided himself for being so paranoid. He slipped into the car with Trowa. The car ride was only a few minutes but with the silence, it seemed to stretch on for hours. All Wufei could think about was how gorgeous the man sitting next to him was....and how much he had let his imagination run away with him. Sometimes he wondered whether it wasn't really a curse to have a brain. Too much thinking. Wufei smiled to himself as the apartment came into view. At least the tension would ease.
