SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AYA WRITES A LONG CHAPPIE?! SEE THE HORROR! I HATED THAT CHAPTER! I ABHORE IT! I WOULD RATHER GET WITH WUFEI THAN TO RE-READ THAT PIECE OF SH**!!

Duo: I'm sensing the anger…

Aya: HELL YES!

Duo: *short laugh * you suck!

Aya: *pouts * yeah I do…

Duo: That DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T DO THE FREAKY FREAKY LATER!

Aya: WOOHOO!

Life aint no bowl of cherries

"Aya, it'z five." Duo nudged the female body next to his.

She popped up in a daze. "Whatzzit?" Gingerly, Duo laid a kiss on her forehead. Ayame shook with a yawn and a stretch. "Nononono, let's 'tay in bed just a liddle longer…" her head hit his chest, crushing his lungs lovingly, "liddle bi-"

The sleepy happiness of the couple was shattered with the arrival the angry Chinese man who, indeed, hadn't received his medication.

 "MAXWELL. Get your sorry ass out to the store and get us food for our 'gathering'." He stared at both of them, eye slightly twitching. "Did you-"

Duo grinned. "Have sex? Of course! Didn't you hear us last night?"

"I screamed," Ayame yawned, cutting her sentence off, "sooooo hard. And lemme tell ya when Duo RIDES you he RIDES you. He went in and out so fast my p-"

"ENOUGH! If I wanted details like that I'D WATCH A POROGRAPHIC FILM!"

"You're just a horn dog," Duo replied nonchalantly, rising out of bed, "I'll get your FOOD evil bastard. You're lucky it's my day off…"

"YES I WILL BUILD A SHRINE IN YOUR HONOR UPON YOUR RETURN." And off Wu-Wu went to take a cold shower.

Ayame yawned the climactic yawn. "D'you think he believed us?"

"Sadly, yes."

"Shopping sounds like fun though!" The female resident of the bed nudged Duo in the side. He grumbled. "We could always get some things that AREN'T on the list…like…whipped cream?"

He grinned, aware of the implication, "And chocolate sauce!"

"CHERRIES!"

"CONDOMS!"

"FLAVORED!"

"THAT'S WHY I LOVE YOU AYAME!"

~~

It only took ten minutes for Duo to braid his hair, this time with his Aya-chan's help. She picked out a sexy pair of black pants and a tight white shirt.

"I didn't even know I had these clothes!"

"How can you not know what's in your closet?! See its comfy and sexy…really sexy…" the sliding closet door shut. She joined him, admiring his ass in the mirror.

"Your turn! SHORT SKIRT!" Duo threw his hands up in the air, giddy.

Ayame fidgeted uncomfortably. "I dun like my legs!" Duo's eyes ran down her body.

"What the hell are you talkin' about? They're fine!"

"Duo…I'm wearing pants…" her fingers pulled at her pajama pants.

"Fine, I'll allow you to wear pants, but tonight, after the party, they're coming off."

"I can't pass that offer up now can I?" She playfully stuck her bubble gum tongue out at him. In an instant Duo's mouth was locked onto her in a long sweet kiss.

"I don't take teasing well…" his eyebrows went up and down.

"I'll be using that to my advantage…" she replied with an innocent tone.

And yet another annoying disturbance interrupted their kitten foreplay, this time, the carebear.

"Oh Duo! Ayame! Gomen, I don't mean to intrude." Quatre Winner stood, flushed faced, staring at the scene like a thirteen year old who had just stumbled on an issue of playboy. The meek Arabian backed away, slowly to the door.

Ayame pulled out of Duo's arms, leaving the appendages lonely and hanging in mid air.

"You're not intruding! You're so cute!" She hugged the albino Arabian. Violet eyes of vengeance seethed at the poor, frightened boy. "So…what brings you here!" She smiled, planting a kiss on his forehead between his blinding white bangs.

 Shinigami's eye twitched.

"I brought the grocery list…and the money…" Quatre fished the items from his pocket, handing her a few yellow, crinkly post-its and two hundred dollars, "that should be enough! I'll reimburse you if you need to spend anymore than that."

"Hey, Q, why the hell are people coming over anyway." Duo's glared bared down on the Sandrock pilot who had stolen the attention of his Aya from him.

Quatre shuffled under the gaze, looking at the ground in meek innocence, "We haven't seen them in a while…since last Christmas Eve, I thought it would be nice t-"

"Yeah, yeah I know, to keep in touch, but do they ever initiate anything…NOOOOOOOO, and that would tell ya they aren't really interested…" Duo rubbed his nose, getting every word out with the sincere disgust he intended. All of them, except for Hilde and Sally, tried their hardest to AVOID the five terroristic/suicidal "gentlemen" ever since the war had ended. It looked bad for the higher-ups in the social scale to be associating with such low-lifes. And Duo Maxwell took pride in his title as one of those low-lifes. He wasn't going to bend for them. Being around THEM made him feel uncomfortable, especially people like…

::Dorothy…::

"Blech!" Duo cringed as eyebrows invaded his thoughts. Ol' double brow was always included…and he could have sworn she was stripping him with her eyes last they had met.

"Duo! They're nice and they graciously accepted the invitation!"

Ayame scratched her brown hair, "It would be nice to meet some of your old friends…"

"Not you too Aya-chan!" Shinigami whined helplessly. Both of them had him backed into a corner.

"Fine! I'll THINK about it Quat."

"Yay!" the young woman squealed. Quatre looked happy that his efforts proved not to be in vain.

"Hell," Duo scratched the back of his head, "what's a party without me anyway."

~~

Two hours later both were out the door and on their way to a small shopping center blocks away from the house. It was a good walking distance but because Duo was banned from ever touching or getting within five hundred feet of the vehicle he had once trashed, they were forced to make their way on foot. Duo was a good two yards behind his companion. She walked too fast for his liking.

Shinigami was lost in his thoughts, and, like always, ignored everything else that happened outside of his little daydream.

::Ayame looks cute in those clothes…Hm, I wonder if she'll take well to someone like Relena…How many licks DOES it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop …Licking and sucking of a lollypop do coincide wi -::

"DUO, WATCH OUT!"

The braided boy narrowly avoided getting splattered on the highway. The red car that had swerved precariously from him stopped a few feet away as the driver stepped out, angrily marching towards Duo.

"WHAT THE FUCK!? ARE YOU STUPID!?"

"Hey buddy calm down. Don't worry about ME I'm FINE even though you almost made me a grease spot on the highway going, probably ninety miles an hour…" Duo glanced over his shoulder to see Ayame the short distance in his direction. Strangely, she stopped, and her eyes went wide.

The young man who had almost made Duo's insides a new hood ornament tore his intense glare from Shinigami over to Ayame. He visibly flinched, his look intensifying on her.

"You know her?…" the question was plain and simple, the tone it was asked in suggested that the reason was not so innocent.

"Yes I do in fact I'm her…" Duo looked for the word that would surely fend him off.

"He's my fiancée…" Ayame finished for him. Duo jumped unaware she had gotten closer, "…Otto."

"Wait…you hurt Aya?…"

Otto's face curled into a smirk, "Technically. But the police didn't think much of it now did they. It seems that they've dropped all the charges. It's nice knowing people in high places…"

"You're a fucking bastard." Duo replied back, as if he was stating a simple fact.

The tall darker haired man shrugged it off, grin widening. "Why don't you just come back with me Ayame and save me all the trouble of finding you and killing you."

Ayame glared back defiantly.

Duo was trying with all his strength to turn down the chance to whip out his gun and blow the guy's balls off. "Let's just get something straight buddy," Duo started, " You touch her…I'll castrate you and make you eat your balls." He grinned. "But if you get back in that car and drive away I'll pretend this never happened…"

"Fine. I'll just wait." Otto took one final glance over Duo's shoulder where Ayame was hiding, "He's gonna dump your ass sooner or later Ayame and when he does I'll find you." He began to back his way up to his car, eyes still locked with hers, "You're just a whore to him like you were just a whore to me, and when you're dead no ones gonna care. No amount of calls to the police or help from friends will save you from what I'm going to put you through…" Otto stepped carefully into the car, "Just remember that…"

And with those words he sped off in the opposite direction.

"Ayame, don't listen to that ass…" Duo turned around expecting to see her tearful and frightened. Instead she stood there with the same defiant look as before.

"I'm fine…he's not worth my tears."

A wide grin, seconds later, crossed Duo's face.

"Sooooooo, I'm your fiancée, am I?"

Ayame's face flushed darker than Duo had ever seen.

"It was just to get him to leave me alone…and you alone too! If he knows that I'm with you all the time he won't go looking for me!- Dammit! I'm such an idiot for dragging you into this!" Her deeply shaded face took refuge in her cold, clammy hands, hiding it from Duo's musing grin.

"I just hope I can afford the ring."

"DUO!" Ayame squeaked back, hitting him playfully on the shoulder.

"AND THE WEDDING! AND THEN THERES THE LITTLE DUO'S AND AYA'S TO PROVIDE FOR!" He couldn't help himself from finding mirth in those words.

"You're really an ass you know that!?" Sincerity failed Aya-chan as a smile pinced at the dimples in her cheeks, "But you're the cutest ass I've ever met…"
