*ahem* All previous warnings and disclaimers are in effect in
this chapter! ^_^
Like I said, you have been warned...
Chapter 1: 'Change'
***
//I've watched you change//
//Into a fly//
//I look away//
//You were on fire//
Heero had been off doing his own thing when Quatre and Trowa
accepted a mission from the scientists that required them both,
leaving Wufei on his own in the safe house.
The fifth member of their team had been gone for over two
months. Duo had left on an undercover operation, not divulging
into great detail about it before he left, so they had no idea
when, or if, he would return. He had only said that he wouldn't
be able to contact them for a while.
That should have been the warning sign.
Duo was notorious for his big mouth and normally always
chattered on about what he was going to do, but in those few
days before he had departed, he had been noticeably subdued and
removed from the others. He spent much of his time locked away
in his room, saying he had to do research for his new
assignment, and they hadn't even realized he was gone until
Quatre had gone into his room and found it cleaned out and
empty.
//I watched a change//
//In you//
//It's like you never//
//Had wings//
//Now you feel//
//So alive//
Then came the day Hell walked through the front door.
Alone in the house, Wufei had no idea what nightmare he was
going to enter when he heard the door and entered the living
room to investigate. If he would have known then, he would have
stayed in his bedroom and barricaded himself in.
"Maxwell, why didn't you send us a message on when you would be
back?"
"I told you I wasn't going to be able to."
Duo stood in the center of the room with a black duffel bag at
his feet, dressed in tight leather pants and a violet mesh
shirt, his long chestnut hair out of its customary braid and
flowing in waves down to his thighs. There was no stupid grin on
his cool, calculating façade as his dark gaze flickered over
Wufei, and when he spoke, his words seemed to cut through the
air like ice, filling the Asian with unease. His whole demeanor
commanded attention to him even though he wasn't moving.
Wufei snorted irritably to cover his discomfiture. "I -know-
that, but you could have sent -something- before just showing up
here like this. I could have thought you an OZ soldier and tried
to kill you."
"No. I don't think so," Duo replied smoothly, picking his bag
up.
He spoke as if his words were the word of God. Inarguable.
There was no clumsiness in his fluid step as he approached him,
and for a fleeting second Wufei felt like a trapped animal
cornered by a prowling panther as the long-haired teen brushed
past, his wave of dominance swallowing him. He even gave an
involuntary step backwards so that he was against the wall,
earning a silver laugh from the stranger as he went into his
room.
Yes, he was a stranger; there was no trace of the cheerful,
talkative Duo Maxwell to be sensed from the teen standing in
front of him.
"So where the hell have you been all this time, Maxwell?" Wufei
continued, trying to act as if he wasn't bothered by the
distinctive change in his fellow Gundam pilot.
//I've watched you change//
//I took you home//
//Set you on the glass//
//I pulled off your wings//
//Then I laughed//
"Now, -Chang-, you know we never discuss mission information
unless we are teaming up or it's an important situation." There
was a taunting lilt to Duo's reply, but it wasn't the jester
tone he always used, it was mocking him as if he was stupid and
needed the rules spelt out to him to the last letter. Under
different circumstances, that would have incensed Wufei even
further, though now he felt as if an ice block had been dropped
into his stomach in his growing unease.
"Here's a better question then," Wufei said abruptly as Duo
reemerged from his room with the same detached air about him.
"What the hell happened to -you-? Is this another big joke of
yours, or have you been seriously messed up in the head while
you were gone?" Panic started to seep into his voice as a
predatory light gleamed in his amethyst eyes and he had the
feeling of being a hungry panther's next meal again. "Honestly,
this is going overboard, even for you. If you're attempting to
bother me to make up for lost time, then you're doing a good job
of it, so laugh and get it over with."
//I watched a change//
//In you//
//It's like you never//
//Had wings//
//Now you feel//
//So alive//
"The Great Chang Wufei, scared?" A sinister smirk slid into
place.
"I said nothing about being afraid," Wufei retorted, flustered.
"'Bothered' has nothing to do with fear. I'm tired of your
stupid games, that's all."
The smirk spread. "My games? But I've hardly begun with my
games," Duo purred, the sound ominous as it rumbled, the
comment's significance slowly sinking in. "No, when I'm through
playing with you, you'll wish you had said you were afraid..."
His silver laugh rippled, making the ice in Wufei's stomach to
grow colder.
"What do you-" He was cut off as Duo suddenly flew over, pinning
his arms above his head against the wall with a slam as he
crushed his mouth to his aggressively, his tongue pushing past
the shocked lips and exploring the region within. His free hand
slid up Wufei's throat and embedded its roving fingers into his
raven hair, ripping it out of its tight ponytail with a rough
jerk as he gripped the back of his head and compressed him
harder into the wall.
//I watched you change//
//It's like you never//
//Had wings//
//I look at the cross//
//Then I look away//
//Give you the lungs to//
//Blow me away//
Wufei was utterly thunderstruck by the unexpected sensuous
onslaught; all his strength melting away to nothing at the power
that radiated from the person on him, unable to fight back. He
wanted- no, needed- to shove him off, to get as far as possible
from this absolute stranger that bore resemblance to Duo
Maxwell...
But the more he resisted, the more he melted away beneath him...
Hook, line, and sinker.
One more victim to add to the list.
Duo pulled out of the deathlock slowly, not looking at all like
he had just ravished one his wartime comrades as he calmly
smiled and stepped back, watching with morbid satisfaction as
Wufei sank weakly to the floor in an undignified heap when his
iron grip released him.
"Now the mind games begin, my little Dragon."
//I've watched you change//
//Now you feel alive//
//You feel alive//
//I've watched you change//
//It's like you never//
//Had wings//
//I've watched you change...//

Not too bad, eh? ^_^;;;
