Yes we left them at the brink of entering the bathroom, what will happen? Who knows… well technically I should but I don't

Trowa:///.¬

Me: shut up.

Anyways, lets get going with the disclaimer, this time brought to you by your charming host Heero ^-^ (be warned)

Heero: Bishie Lil does not own any of us or the programme or anything, so if you try and sue… omae o korosu.

Thank you for that lovely disclaimer, now a song from Duo…

Duo: O.o

Never mind, I'm very tired so strange things are happening with my brain.

Knickers are a tricky business…

Duo dragged Heero into the bathroom and shut the door.

"I never thought we'd get in here, I'm absolutely bursting!" Duo announced as he hopped from foot to foot.

"I'll go first then," Heero said with an evil grin as he leapt to the toilet.  Duo made a spectacular dive to reach the toilet before Heero, but he failed, landing at Heero's feet in an unceremonious heap.  Heero merely laughed as Duo crawled away.

"S'not fair," Duo whined as he sat on the floor, squeezing his legs together, "I really need to go!"

"You should be quicker then," Heero said indignantly as he looked over his shoulder at the sailor scout, "And if you really needed it that bad," he mused, as he returned to the task at hand… literally, "you'd be going in the bathtub right this minute!"

Duo looked at Heero's back, shocked.  Then he looked at the bathtub interestedly before sticking his tongue out and making a gagging sound.  Heero merely chuckled.

"But you were considering it, weren't you Maxwell," he said as he grinned at the wall in front of him.

"Yeah… but then my brain kicked in!"

"Then you're definitely not drunk enough."

"Ah, so true.  Hurry up would you, are you trying to beat a world record!?"

The unmistakable sound of a zip could be heard; Heero turned round looking… well relieved to tell the truth.

"Much better," he said, patting his crotch contentedly.

"My turn!" Duo shouted viciously as he shoved Heero to the side.  Heero went flying into a potted plant.  Duo was attempting to undo his zip when he realised… "Oh no!" he whined.

"What," Heero asked, as he extricated himself from the plant

"I'm wearing knickers!" he wailed.  Heero went blank for a moment before bursting into hysterics.

"Just pull them down dude!" Heero said as he slid down the wall into a sitting position.  Duo brightened and turned towards the toilet.  He gingerly removed the offending undergarment and positioned himself for his well-deserved leak.  Heero was busy playing with a leaf from the plant, as he didn't want to be rude and stare at his friend having a piss, but when Duo started humming the tune to 'Low Rider' he couldn't help but look up, so he could chuckle at his long-haired friend.  As he did so he received a full on view of Duo's naked ass.  This was the second time today he had seen a naked Duo ass, but this time he didn't drop anything in shock.  He was actually quite pleased with the situation.  He looked down and saw the knickers, which had been mentioned in earlier conversation.  He smirked to himself.

Duo was humming 'Low Rider' as he released his water into the toilet; he was much calmer now, as he was relieving himself.

"So I finally get to see the infamous knickers."

"EEP!" Duo jumped 3 foot in the air at the sudden presence of Heero's voice right by his ear.

He spun around to face Heero.

"Dude!  You're so weird!" Duo yelped.  Heero said nothing, he was merely gazing downwards at something that was quite shocking, yet interesting, below Duo's waist.  Duo followed his friend's gaze down and realised that the teeny tiny sailor skirt was not quite covering his manhood.

"EEEEEEEP!'" he screeched as he covered himself up and went bright red.

"Second time today Duo," Heero said silkily, "Some might think that you were trying to expose yourself to me."

Duo made some flustered noises before launching into a verbal waterfall.

"That'ssonottrueyouknowthatsnottruesoIdon'tknowwhyyou'resayingthatI'mperfectlyabletoconcealmyselffromyouIdoitallthetimeI'mnottryingtoshowyoumybitsconciouslymaybeitsasubconciousthingormaybeI'munluckyidon'tknowbutknowthismisterperfectsoldier mmmph!"

The last sound ensued as Heero pressed his lips against Duo's.  He pulled away, breathing hard.  Duo was breathing hard also.

"W-why did you do that?" Duo asked flustered.

"Because I thought if you didn't stop talking soon, you were going to pass out, I definitely was," Heero answered as he stared into Duo's eyes.  Duo swallowed nervously.

"Well, it worked," Duo said, a little shakily.

"Mmm, so it did," Heero said, looking at Duo seductively.  Duo looked hesitant and embarrassed, "I was thinking of using that technique to shut you up every time you start talking non-stop," Heero said to him.

Duo laughed nervously, and scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment.

"Well, next time, could you warn me first," Duo said pleadingly, "that took me by surprise."

"Well…" Heero said, looking pseudo-thoughtful.  He looked into Duo's big eyes and chuckled.

"Alright then Duo," he said as he tapped him lightly on the nose.

"Yay!" Duo beamed as he did a little happy hop dance.  Heero watched him amusedly for a minute before his face turned serious again.

"Oh, by the way," Heero said, glancing at his friend in amusement, "you're still not wearing any knickers."

Duo blushed violently and hoisted up the aforementioned underwear.

"Thought my dancing was being restricted," he said with a grin as he continued his dance.

"Duo," he said to his hopping friend.

"Yes?" Duo answered, still continuing with his dance.

"I'm going to do it again," he informed him as he backed the dancing boy against a wall.

"But, but, but," Duo stuttered, "I didn't talk loads that time!"  Heero looked at him thoughtfully again before grinning wickedly.

"Oh well," Heero sighed, "I guess that's just tough luck for you," he finished as he leaned in to steal another kiss.

15 minutes had gone by and Heero and Duo had still not emerged from the bathroom.  Trowa was lying on the ground while Quatre played with his unibang.  Treize had positioned Wufei carefully against a wall, so that he wouldn't fall over, and was lounging about, keeping his eye on Wufei the whole time.

"What could be taking them so long?" Quatre asked, as he unravelled a plait he had just done in Trowa's hair. (AN: miraculous, I know, considering the amount of gel Trowa must have in his hair.)

"Can you not guess?" Treize asked, amused, as he looked sceptically at the blonde Arabian.  Quatre blushed a little and busied himself with Trowa's hair.

Trowa lifted his head slightly and looked at the door.

"HURRY UP!" he screamed at the door, "WE'RE WAITING OUT HERE FOR YOU PEOPLE!"

Everyone, including Wufei, looked at Trowa, shocked.  Who knew the quiet pilot could raise his voice to such decibels.  Trowa merely looked back and raised one eyebrow, before lying down again.  Heero and Duo emerged from the bathroom looking a little shame-faced, but mostly flustered.

"Had a good time in the bathroom hey?" Treize said nudging Heero in the side with his elbow.

"I don't know what you mean," Heero said as he picked a bottle of booze up off the floor and took a drink.  Treize looked at Duo, who merely blushed and rearranged his hair.  Treize smiled evilly and took a deep breath.

"Well then," he said as he turned his back on the 01 pilot, "you must just really like Duo's lipstick," he said flippantly.  Heero blanched as he passed his hand across his mouth.  When he looked he could see the pink lipstick smeared across the back of his hand.

"Bollocks," he said and then grinned widely.  Duo blushed even more.  Quatre noticed his friend's discomfort and gave him a wide and reassuring grin.

"It's alright," he said, "we knew this was coming, it's welcomed."

Duo looked up shocked, Heero merely raised an eyebrow at Trowa, who repeated the quirk and then added a nod.  Heero nodded back.   Duo watched them sceptically.

"What interesting conversations you 2 must have," he said sourly.  Heero merely poked him in the side.

"Well, how could you tell?" Duo asked Quatre.

Before he could answer, Wufei snorted and focused on Duo.

"Braided baka," he husked, "even I could see it."  Duo looked confused and Wufei merely rolled his eyes and then closed them.

"You're always hanging round each other," Quatre answered helpfully, "you always tease him most erm… apart from Wufei," he added.

"Yeah, and some of the looks you give each other when the other isn't watching," Trowa said as he leaned up on his elbows.  Heero smiled a little as he put his arm around Duo's waist and pulled him closer.

Duo sighed, defeated, "Fine then," he said as he looked at Heero, "apparently you and I are officially an item."

"On one condition," Heero answered.  Duo waited for the condition.  Heero turned his attention to the 3 boys and 1 man in front of him.

"That these bunch of losers admit their feelings for each other."

Treize snorted with laughter, Wufei fell over, Quatre went bright red and Trowa… did nothing.

"Fine," Treize said as he scooped Wufei up into his arms and planted a wet one on his lips.  Wufei didn't have time to react and just sat there, looking dazed.

Trowa said …nothing and pulled Quatre, who squeaked, in for a hug.  He whispered something in his ear and Quatre smiled.  He whispered back.  Trowa smiled.  They hugged and gave each other a small kiss.

"Happy now?" Duo asked his new "special friend" (AN: you have to imagine doing the finger motions with that "special friend" bit.  Ok, everyone do it "special friend".  There, much better ^_^)

Heero merely nodded.

"Come on then," he said as he guided Duo to the stairs and motioned for the others to follow, "time to party."

Quatre smiled at him as he walked hand in hand with Trowa.

"And you never know," Duo said as grabbed a bottle of champagne from a passing waiter… don't ask why he was upstairs… and tossed it back to Trowa, "we may even get to annoy Relena with this new situation."  He beamed at a stoic Heero.  Heero looked at him and then broke into a wide grin of pure relief and joy.

"Finally," he said, as he pretended to wipe tears of his cheeks, "I finally have a valid reason for not going round to her home when she invites me to one of her poncy tea thingies."

Trowa was chugging away at the bottle he had been passed before passing it to Quatre for a quick drink.

The 3 couples descended the stairs quickly as it was much more fun going down as it was going up.  They reached the bottom just outside the hall.

"Are we ready?" Quatre asked.

"What do you mean 'ready'?" Duo asked bewildered.

"We left there, young, immature, unsure boys… apart from Treize," he said with a quick glance at the young man behind him.  Treize simply quirked an eyebrow and clung on to Wufei who was starting to fall over.

"Now, we re-enter, older wiser and with new situations and beginnings blossoming ion our lives," he finished with a flourish.  Everyone looked at Quatre with varying degrees of confusion, worry and despair, apart from Duo, who looked suspicious.  He started towards Quatre and circled him.  He then smiled to himself and beckoned Trowa to lean towards him.  He whispered something in his ear.  Trowa leant back and nodded.  He looked at Qautre, and then, without warning, he thrust a hand up Quatre's tutu.

"Eek!" Quatre squealed as his boyfriend rummaged around amid the pink folds.  Trowa's look of determination changed to one of triumph as he pulled a flask out from under Qautre's skirt.  He threw the flask to Duo who opened it and sniffed.

"Ah ha!" he cried excitedly, "I knew it!  Tea!" he exclaimed as he poured some into the lid.

Quatre looked embarrassed as everyone stared at him like he was insane.  Heero stared at Duo and shook his head slowly.

"I thought his speech was getting a little fucked up… I mean flowery, so I thought he may be harbouring tea somewhere," Duo explained to everyone.

"I like tea ok!?" Quatre answered, a little defensively.  Trowa made calming noises and cuddled him.

"Let's go back into the hall," Treize said, "before it gets anymore bizarre out here."

Agreement noises were heard, and the 6 turned and made their way back into the swing of the party.

The end of this chapter is nigh!

Oh well, next part soon… I hope.  I'm getting sceptical looks from my cast.  Oh well.
