Chappie 2

*Dances* its, Spring Break, and we are gonna party down and... *trips* x.x; Ok, skip that. Its spring break anyway, and I figure I might as well be useful and write an update... even though I have no clue what will happen... so now I write, and pray to Shinigami that my hands type something good. O_o It might work... Ha. Now its three weeks after Spring Break, and I haven't finished it. Go me o.O;;;

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing, Dungeons and Dragons... or ANYTHING ELSE!! AHAAHAHAHAHHA!!! I own... NOTHING! YOU HEAR ME!! NOTHING I SAY!!!

*Takes a deep breath* and this story has shounen ai (two guys together, romantically, being all kissy! HA!), bad language, and uh... maybe shoujo ai too, later on ^_^; Isnt it great? :D Pairing-wise... Heero and Duo, obviously... Quatre and Trowa later. and a few others that haven't shown up and are surprises! :D

I'll answer reviews at the end of the chappie, kay? ^^ Btw. this chappie is considerably less serious then the last one o_O;; I found the last one painful to write... too tense for meh. But then my humor might not be that great either x_x *cough* Slight Wufei bashing in this chappie, and OOCness on his part... But don't worry, I personally love Wuffy ^_^; Which makes him more fun to make fun of :D If I was going to write a serious fiction or one centering around Wuffykins... It would be in character ^^; Dun worry... I know he's not actually a jerk. :P

Heero awoke to a loud tapping noise from somewhere outside his room. Needless to say... He wasn't exactly leaping for joy at the prospect of being woken up. However, due to the fact that tapping and other loud noises were generally bad things (either Duo causing trouble or an enemy, neither of which were safe or uncommon) he forced himself to get up and investigate. Muttering assorted profanities, he stumbled out of his room and started to walk towards the front door of the safe house. However, he didn't get very far before being knocked out of the way by a blur of black and brown also headed for the front door.

"Whoops, sorry Hee-chan! Didn't see ya there!" Duo yelled back at him, grinning like a maniac. Heero glared before grabbing his gun (the metal one for killing stuff, hentais...) and preparing to shoot whatever was in the doorway (if it was an enemy). Duo threw the door open, and there stood... a very mad Chinese pilot. Or, what might have been a Chinese pilot, because the figure in the door was soaked to the bone, had hair that looked like it had been electrocuted several times, and was carrying a large inside-out umbrella. For the first time that evening, Heero noticed it was pouring outside.

Duo was the first to react... naturally, with a very kind and sympathetic manner.

He burst out laughing.

Heero, who had now completely identified the thing in the doorway as A-Not an enemy and B- Wufei, a fellow Gundam pilot, quickly shut the door and helped the soaked boy inside. Wufei glared at Duo and began cursing in Chinese, something which simply caused the braided boy to laugh even harder and collapse in a heap next to the door.

Finally, after Wufei had worn himself out and run out of languages and curses and semi-graciously accepted the towel Heero had handed him did Duo finally recover from laughing and heave himself up from his position on the floor. Wufei glared at him.

"Maxwell... I suppose you found that funny?" Duo blinked and looked as if he was going to keel over laughing again.

"Nope! Actually... I found it... absolutely hilarious! The look on your face was PRICELESS!!" At this, he burst out laughing again.

Wufei looked as if he was going to strangle him. Duo looked as if he were going to have a heart attack from laughing so hard. Heero looked very much like he was going to go back in his room and sleep... but decided against it, as that would have resulted in having to clean up quite a lot of blood. Blood's horrible on carpet, don't ya know. He kicked Duo, who paused in his laughing to look at him and quickly hopped up after seeing the familiar glare.

Duo took a deep breath and counted to 10 while Wufei continued to glare (though it was quite difficult considering he still looked like a soaked sad little puppy) and let it out slowly.

"Hiya Wuffers! Nice weather we're having, isnt it?" Heero gave him a look. Ignoring Duo's complaints and spontaneous bursts of laughter, he motioned for Wufei (who was still giving Duo a glare to rival even Heero's) to follow him.

After Wufei was dried off, they sat down in the living room on the various chairs and Wufei explained he had been chased by several assorted OZ mobile suits and managed to lose them in the countryside surrounding the town. Having hidden Nataku in some trees away from where OZ would've looked, he had stumbled about for a while trying to find the designated safe house in the area. Duo had found all this extremely funny, and had cracked up laughing on several occasions (which resulted in the Chinese boy threatening to cut off his braid... which served to temporarily shut up the braids owner). Heero, being his normal soldierish self, noted down the information on the mobile suits and decided to see to it right then and there. He grabbed a gun and headed out the door, leaving Wufei and Duo alone.

Not a smart thing to do.

Or, for that matter, safe.

After a few minutes of awkward silence and an occasional cough from Duo, Wufei stood up and announced he was going to his room to find something on the computer. He hopped up gracefully, and Duo quickly followed suite. The Chinese boy said nothing to this, but was quick to get to his room. He locked the door (and these doors have quite a few locks, fyi) and yelled out at the braided baka not to bug him. Whenever Duo didn't seem to be doing anything even slightly annoying, it usually wasn't a good thing.

In this case... he was absolutely right.

Duo, cackling happily, trotted into his room and flipped on a light. Wuffers certainly wasn't acting normal and he was going to find out why. And, if it was good... blackmail. Rummaging around in one of the cabinets, he quickly found what he was looking for. He grinned evilly and muttered to himself, "Lets see what Wuffykins is up to, eh? And if its something interesting. well, then we'll just have to see."

Said Wuffykins was currently sitting in his room, going through his Inbox. One message in particular caught his eye. He smiled to himself and opened it. (no, its not Quatres message. our dear Wuffles has a much more interesting message to look at ^_-) Unfortunately, he was so preoccupied with reading it he forgot to pay attention to his surroundings.

Also, most unfortunately, was the fact that the door, the locks, and Duo Maxwell were part of his surroundings. Foolish, foolish boy.

Duo, being the master lock-picker he was, had quite easily gotten through the first 6 locks. There had been a bit more difficulty with the old Chinese one, which required not one but 4 hairpins, and the combination lock, which had required him to correctly find 17 different numbers. The ID recognizing one was easily fooled with one of old Wuffers' gloves, and the laser was deflected with a mirror. Finally, silently, Duo had managed to open the door just enough to get a periscope through, along with the little item he had picked up out of his room.

Upon locating the silhouette of his fellow pilot, he focused the periscope on the computer screen and zoomed in (I want a periscope like that one O) and did his best to focus it. He squinted and read. Now then, this particular message was not really something that he was expecting, and after reading it had to reread it several times for it to register. Finally, it clicked who it was from and what it concerned. Duo blinked and grinned evilly. He held up the object from his room to the end of the periscope and pressed the button.

Wufei was suddenly distracted from his quite lovely message by a click and flash from behind him. He whirled around... but there was no one there. The dragon glared. He would've sworn he had heard a camera... but then he realized no, it must have been his imagination. Besides... he had his beautiful, beautiful email, and everything was right in the world. He quickly typed a reply and did a little dance in his chair. Next Thursday. he looked at the Dungeons and Dragons calendar next to the computer. Injustice!! 9 whole days... Well, he'd just have to wait. He sighed, made a little grring sound and flopped down on the bed to take a nap.
Down the hall, the single occupant of the room to the left was in an excellent mood. Long braid flying, he hopped down in his (black) chair in front of the computer and hooked up his precious camera to it. He whistled and snickered softly. This could be something to definitely lighten up the next 9 nine days.. oh yes, if he had read it correctly, the next 9 days would be fun. Specifically, the ninth. He chuckled; there would have to be some planning involved, of course, and perhaps enlisting the help of the other pilots. Quatre probably would say it was mean, but then agree if properly persuaded. If Quatre said yes, Trowa probably would, and Heero would agree if he made it mission-like enough. Speaking of Heero... Duo smiled. Hopefully, someone would have a decent answer to his question soon (all the others had replied... very strangely, with things like "'accidently' lock him and Heero in a dark closet together" and "stalk him (how original) until he realizes he loves you (cough...)". Needless to say... neither of these appealed to him, not to mention would result in him being shot.)

A sudden noise outside the safe house brought Duo out of his thoughts. He poked a few buttons on his computer and was given a view of the security cameras outside the safehouse. Well, it wasn't an enemy, just Heero returning from his mission. Sheesh, it'd been what. 15, 20 minutes? Duo chuckled. "Hee-chan must be losin his touch! 15 whole minutes... tsk tsk. Bad perfect soldier, bad!" He laughed to himself and skipped out of the room and out the front door, ignoring the fact it was practically pouring out. Naturally, Heero completely ignored the rain and probably couldn't care less if he was soaked.

Unfortunately, even the Perfect soldier can't ignore a hyper, also soaked, and dancing Duo, particularly when being danced around.

"I'm siiiiiiiiingin in the rain, just siiiiiiingin in the rain! What a glorious feeeeeelin I'm haaaaaaaappy again! I'm lauuuuughin at the clouds, So dark, up above... Doodeedoodeedoooooo! Lalala... I'm siiiiiingin, just singin in the raaaaain!"

Heero coughed. "Duo... Do you know half the words to that song?" Duo paused in his singing enough to look at him.

"Maybe, maybe not... but hey, what difference does it make, eh Hee-chan? Come on, sing along!" He grinned and started singing again. Heero resumed his normal glare and continued to trudge to the house. For some reason, he couldn't shake the feeling there was something that he couldn't remember, something from before he fell asleep. All mission, he had been contemplating it. There was something... something he was forgetting. Something important. Yes.

Duo, noticing his comrade wasn't joining in, poked him in the side of the head. "IM SINGING. IN THE RAIN. AND SO ARE YOU." He continued to sing and poke. Poke. Sing. Poke. Poke. Heero blinked. Waiiiiit... That was it. Before he had fallen asleep, he had seen something about Duo... oh, right. The website. And it had said... had said... Kami-sama. Suddenly, it came back to him- the website and everything it had said. (We don't know why it took him so long, so... ha. He was distracted.) He snuck a glance at the singing boy, still dancing madly around him while singing and looking generally gleeful. Well, at least his little 'crush' didn't change his hyperness. Good, if Duo didn't change how he acted then he wouldn't have to worry about it as much. Well, until someone gave him an idea that he deemed worthy, anyway. Then... it could start to get interesting. Hn... that was an idea, actually... Hn.

"Just siiiiiiingin in the rain!" Duo sang happily and latched onto Heero's arm. "Sing Hee-chan sing! Altogether now! WHAT A GLORIOUS FEEEEEEELIN..." Heero did his best to glare but ended up singing quietly anyway. Duo was contagious, and, most unfortunately, darned good at getting his way.

And so it was that Duo and Heero trudged through the rain and up to the safehouse, soaked to the bone and singing joyously (well, Duo was joyous, anyway. Heero was..uh.. Heero.). Naturally, it didn't register to either of them that there were cameras around the safehouse-broadcasting straight to the colony where a certain 5 scientists were watching and laughing drunkenly, or the fact that Wufei was recording it for future amusement. Nope, who cares if it was being broadcast all the way to Zechs and Treize via satellite? No one. Actually, under normal circumstances this would have occurred to Heero, however... he was a tad too absorbed in remembering exactly what had been put on the site to think about how much this would ruin his Perfect Soldier rep (and boy would it once those tapes got to Dorothy and Relena, plotting evilly in their little pink and gold PJs). And Duo... well, Duo didn't care. He was in the rain, singing and dancing, having a good time, and actually getting Mr. I'ma-kill-you to WILLINGLY sing along.

Life was good.

Heh, was kinda lazy on the last singing part u.u Grammer may be really off, if it's too much I'll redo it in the morning. Determined to finish this chapter, got 3 hours of sleep last night... *nods off and drools all over keyboard*

The rain/singing thing was inspired by a chat I had a few days ago, and I just didn't get to write it. Now then... I will give a cookie to anyone who can half accurately predict who/what/anything about the e-mail Sir Wuffit got. Hehe... *cackles* I know D I just have to figure out what Duos doing about it o.o This story has no plot. Lalala... well, it does sorta! So ha.

Reviews!!

Wow @_@ I got 22 reviews!!! X_X! On one chapter... hopefully this one'll live up to it? O.o;; In order from when they came.

LightofHope- Yees ^^ So cute! Though I find when it comes to cuteness, Quatre and Trowa take the cake -^^-

LB- Glad to know theyre in character, I spose o.o; Hee-chan may be a weeee bit more OOC in this and later chapters so uh... sorry ^^; And as for the response Duo actually will choose... well, you're going to have to wait and see D

Yoko Blade: *nodnod* FOREVER! Hurrah! :D

Kawaii Kai (lol): Yay for the kawaiiness! ^^

... : But of course :D

Rei- I made someone laugh!! :D!!!!!! *does a Joyous jig (dun ask ^^; chat room... thing)

Crazzybanana- Weeeeelll since Heero has no clue what he feels (how would he know? O.o hes emotionless... er, supposed to be.) we cant really be sure yet, ne? But since this is a 1x2 fic... Something tells me he will ^^;

Silver Angel- Heh, I try to make my grammar and spelling as decent as possible (so many wonderful fics are chock full of spelling and grammatical errors @@;) so... glad it seems well written ^^;

Rain- Thanks ^_^; I put myself down a lot, just cuz... I don't like my art or my writing that much, so I tend to do that a lot x.x; Although, with the art... It really, really deserves it x_X; Hn.

Wouldntyouliketoknow- Thanks ^^ I originally thought it might set things off a bit too fast, with Heero already knowing Duos feelings instead of finding out later.

Bakaneko- Will do.

Karma Strike- Hn, well, honestly I think the whole thing of changing the Gundam Pilots genders and whatnot is delightful fun... but slightly overused. However, you already decided, soooo... it doesn't really matter ^^

Rei Tenjou (o.o zero life/birth? If I'm not mistaken u.u): uh... I'll finish when its over? *sweatdrop*

Kat: *hides box of matches behind back* no Mrs teacher... these are... pencils o.O you write with them... *cough* Yes, we do D And I will get it to happen! I will! BWAHAHAHA. 1x2 forever! ^^

Dia: o_o;; Kay.. Well, I dont actually HATE any of em ^^ Tea... bothers me. Mai amuses me, and has a cool attitude. Rebecca amuses me to no end, although her voice does get annoying. I used to hate Meilin, but then I saw the subbed version of the second movie and she wasn't evil anymore. Also, I'm in the middle of trying to figure out which one I prefer, EriolxSyaoran/ElixLi or SyaoranxSakura x.x;;; I mean... I support Li and Sakura soooooo much since they are just SO cute... and in the series and movies they are sooo adorable... but then Syaoran and Eriol do make an unbearably cute couple too ^^; I don't know. I really don't. I guess... I like em both :D

Sev-chan: Hn, well depends on what library. To put it bluntly, all the libraries around here suck. They have an awful collection of fiction, most of which are waaaaaaay below the level of anyone who actually would bother to read one. They have horrible taste in books @_@ Such dumbness! Need more fantasy x.x; So... set only the libraries which are lacking in decent reading aflame (plus, that library is PART of my school D kill two birds with one stone, ne?)

Belittled Muse: If I get any flames... I'd be happy to ^_^ Thanks!

Haile: Will do.

Wing Gundam/Zero: o.o frightening?

Lemon-chan: Yessir! ^^ (note: I call everyone sir x.x just to make it known I don't think youre male.)

Sabe: Ee! Spiffy! ^^

Once again... Thanks sooooo much to everyone who reviewed!! And I am sooooo sorry this took so long to get out... Promise the next chappie wont be quite as long a wait, kay? ^^; Ja ne!
