Disclaimer: YAY! REVIEWS! Um okay, I'm glad you all actually LIKE the
rebelliousness of Areina! I was afraid you would think she was a man hater,
but oh well! You didn't! Yay!
And, as usual, I don't own any of the Gundam characters (some I wouldn't want *cough Relena cough*)
Back to the story!
Dishes
Relena was stuck, YET AGAIN, with washing the dishes while the guys went out. What a surprise.
Well, at least she had some people to help her. Areina was kind enough to offer her assistance, and at least she was somewhat useful with dishes. Hilde was helping her, only because she felt sorry for her. Of course, 'helping' wasn't really the word, since Hilde had no idea what a sponge even was. Quatre had decided to stay back, because Trowa and he had had a fight in the club the night before - something about each of them cheering for opposite sides of the dance match.
Relena still couldn't believe that Areina was even able to keep up with Duo's slick dance moves, let alone beat him to a pulp in front of a teeming crowd of dance freaks, jeering and shouting at them both. But she was slightly pleased with the outcome, for Duo had been getting a little cocky about his dancing talent.
"So what're the dos and don'ts around here?" Areina asked out of the blue.
"Don't make any derogatory comments about sexuality,' Quatre said firmly, especially for him. However, Quatre was very touchy about comments regarding homosexuality, and it was the one thing that could get him angry.
"Don't prejudge people," Hilde said matter-of-factly, happy that she could get in a note for once. It seemed that whenever Duo was around, she didn't get to voice her opinion that often because Duo was such a loudmouth.
"Do help out with the chores," Relena said strictly. She was getting tired of always having to deal with the chores.
"And do respect people," Quatre finished in his sensitive, child-like voice. Relena realized that she'd probably be attracted to him, if he weren't gay. They shared many traits, like sensitivity and kindness. Too bad he's gay, Relena thought jokingly. Like Quatre would ever be interested in me.
He liked the more rough men, for some odd reason. It was strange, because he was anything but rough. Maybe they gave him a sense of safety, or maybe he just got hot at the thought of a nice, strong man. Hilde, on the other hand, liked her men more socially attractive, like Duo: Funny, attractive, energetic men who never stopped moving their mouths! Then there was Relena, who liked the mysterious type, the ones who barely talked at all. Strength was definitely a good quality for her. He didn't have to be smart or charming, he just had to be strong. Of course, looks weren't a bad quality, either. Although, she still had no clue what Areina's taste in men was.
Suddenly, Quatre asked the question that Relena was thinking. "What kind of men do you like, Areina?"
- - -
Areina blinked and slowly put down the dish she was washing. She was totally taken back by this random question. She stared off into space, wondering what to say.
"I guess I like the classic tall, dark, and handsome," Areina said, lying her ass off. "Blonde hair is also a nice quality."
All of this couldn't be more far off from the truth. In reality, she had a very strange taste in men. Instead of most girls, who loved their men to be big, strong, and hot, she liked ugly, short, and fat men who were funny but sensitive. She also loved a guy with a big nose: If she could find someone with those qualities, she'd fall in love with him on the first date. She truly loved sensitive men, for they always seemed to be the most sincere and the most lovable. And of all things, she HATED men with blonde hair. Quatre was lucky he was gay, or she'd hate him to no end.
"Ah," Quatre said with a jesting tone. "So people like Wufei would be perfect if they had blonde hair?"
Areina turned a bright red at this, because she found Wufei quite unattractive. "What do you mean?"
"Areina's got a crush," Hilde sang mockingly to the tune of "Ring around the Rosie."
Soon all three of them were joining in to the chant. "Areina's got a crush, Areina's got a crush."
"Oh, please!" Areina said, suppressing a giggle in the back of her throat, which turned her face even more bright pink.
"Look how red she is!" Relena guffawed like a toddler.
"It's official," Quatre yelled over the continuous chants. "Areina has the hots for Wufei!"
All three of the others laughed, rolling on the soapy floor in hysterics. Areina peered down at them with a smirk on her face and her soapy hands at her hips.
Suddenly a loud DING-DONG echoed through the apartment, and Areina rushed for the door, turning the knob with her soap-covered hand.
"Hi," she said as she opened the door to find Wufei in front of her, wearing only a towel to cover his unmentionables. "Oh, God," Areina muttered nervously as she covered her eyes, embarrassed out of her mind as she heard the three in the kitchen walk out and start whistling like the perverts they were. She quickly lifted her hands from her eyes to see Hiro, Duo, and Trowa in the same towel-uniform as Wufei.
She could hear Hilde, Quatre, and Relena in hysterics as she closed the door behind the four nude boys. Areina could feel herself turn a yet brighter shade of red, knowing that she was probably glowing.
Areina uncovered her eyes to see the four boys blushing an equally bright shade of read. All except for Duo, who seemed like he was enjoying it so much that he was about to whip his towel off of himself and reveal what his mother gave him, which Areina definitely did not want to see.
Just before the four naked-brothers ran to their rooms to get some clothes on, Areina decided to take some disciplinary action. "WHAT IN HEAVEN'S NAME IS GOING ON HERE!?!?" she yelled at a volume that made everyone go silent, and which could probably be heard two floors down.
The four boys laughed nervously to each other, and faced Areina together.
"Well, it's a funny story, really," Hiro began. "We went to the lake and, well.......got naked and went in for a swim."
"You went skinny-dipping?" Areina said, half surprised and half amused.
"Wish I had gone," Quatre remarked flirtatiously in Trowa's direction. Trowa blushed back in embarrassment.
"Me, too," Hilde said, raising a suggestive eyebrow at Duo. Quatre and Hilde looked giddily at each other, both grinning at the images of their naked lovers.
Areina rolled her eyes in disgust. "Continue," she said, so firm that all but Hiro flinched.
"Well," Hiro said shyly, which was a strange mood for him to be in. "When we got out, we forgot where we put on our clothes, and as we were looking, a cop found us and chased us all the way here. We got some towels off of the clean laundry rack downstairs and came here as fast as we could."
The doorbell rang again, and the four boys winced. "The cop, probably," Hiro said, backing away to his room door.
Areina covered her eyes in frustration now. This was both amazing and terribly idiotic at the same time. Relena motioned for the four boys to get in their rooms quickly, and Areina walked to the door.
When she was sure that the boys were safely in their rooms, Areina opened the door again, and sure enough, a stern policeman stood there, tapping his foot impatiently.
"Where are they?"
"Who?"
"The four naked boys who came out of the lake."
Areina grinned nervously as Relena, Quatre and Hilde scurried about, nervously preparing tea.
"Um, how about if we discuss it over some tea?" Areina said through clenched teeth.
The cop lifted his sunglasses to reveal a pair of brown eyes that looked Areina over, with a slight sense of sick pleasure in them. "I guess it wouldn't hurt," the nasty-minded policeman said as he stepped into the room.
They sat down on the couch, and the policeman stretched his arm around the back of the seat, flexing his muscles and continuously glancing in Areina's direction. Relena brought in the tea, tipsy with nervousness. She set down the two cups, which were half-empty from the amount she had spilled in the saucers.
"So," the policeman said as his arm edged around Areina, like a spider crawling across the couch. "What do you do for a living?"
"Nothing," Areina piped quickly as she scooted over.
"Really? A cute chick like you?" the policeman said as he scooted over as well, cornering Areina on the couch.
Areina hated it when men called her 'chick.'
"She is quite cute, isn't she?" Duo's voice half-jeered from their right. The braided young man stood in the hallway with the four other previously nude boys. Areina didn't know what was worse, seeing the four in their towels, or seeing them in their tight boxer-briefs, which were a bit too tight, if you get my drift.
"She's definitely an attractive one," the cop said as he squeezed Areina with his right arm, which had made it around her shoulder. "But what I'm concerned about is why four nice young men like you were running around naked."
"Sir," Relena stammered in a raspy voice. "Please forgive them, they just lost all their clothes, and..." Relena's voice trailed off and resounded in a gasp as she noticed the man's gun at his belt.
"Lost their clothes, eh?" the policeman said in a doubtful tone. "I'm not convinced, but I could be..."
"You know," Duo said, changing the subject. "You two would make a great couple."
The cop smiled with glee at Duo, while Areina furrowed her brows and opened her mouth in a huge, gaping frown at the braided boy in his underwear.
"And she loves blondes!" Quatre cheerily piped in from the kitchen. Areina peered at the policeman's head, noticing blonde locks falling from underneath his cap.
"You two should really go out," Duo said suggestively as he rubbed his chin with his hand slyly. Areina mouthed the worst curse word she could think of to Duo as the policeman turned away to look happily at Duo.
"Tomorrow night, then?" the policeman said hopefully to Areina. The Canadian sat with her jaw half-open, staring blankly out of pure shock.
"Tomorrow night," Duo said energetically.
"See you then," the policeman said with a beaming smile as he exited the apartment, leaving Areina stunned and enraged.
Uh-oh, maybe this chapter should be R? Oh, well, LET THE READERS DECIDE, I always say. Hope you liked it! :)
