Warnings: Hm... well... this part has a bit of sapp, a bit of angst, a bit
of humor, and a bit of crap! Heh! okay, I just said crap cuz it rhymed! say
it out loud! I promise! It's entertaining! lol. um... seriously folks...
um... lessee.... mystical behavior...
Duo: *glares at Allie*
Allie: WHAT?
Duo: *taps foot*
Allie: We went over all that already!!!
Duo: Yes! but then in chapter 5 you.... *is cut off by Harm's hand over his mouth*
Harm: SHHHH!!! Don't tell them!!!! This is only Chapter 4... they aren't supposed to know that chapter 5 is finished already and Chapter 6 is almost done! Oops... Anyhews! *grins brightly* Moving on! There is sapp, pouncing, suggestive content, a bit of shonen ai, over use of empathy (from the over abundance of empaths... well.... only three... but still... lol....)
"Hmm....looks familiar," Quatre remarked, getting out.
"That's because it is," Trowa replied quietly. "This is Harmonie and Allie's house."
If it were possible, a light bulb would have turned on over Quatre's head. "OH! Cool!" He grinned.
Suddenly, the door opened. Two figures bolted down the porch and tackled Quatre, nearly taking him down.
"Q-tra!" Harmonie grinned, squishing her fellow empath.
"Q-chan!" Aliera squealed, hugging him even tighter. Trowa chuckled and pried Quatre loose.
The two girls glanced at each other, then at Trowa. "TROWA!" They wailed and attached themselves to his waist.
His eyes widened slightly, about the only reaction they were likely to get out of him. If anything, the two girls squeezed him even tighter.
Trowa began to turn blue from lack of oxygen. "Um, Allie-chan, sis? Trowa needs to breathe." Duo said between laughs.
Reluctantly, the two girls let go. Aliera went and stood beside Duo, interlacing their hands.
Harmonie practically beamed and ushered everyone inside.
Aliera sighed. "Harm, we forgot the bags. I'll get them." She made a gesture. The doors opened, and the two boys' luggage floated in and settled in the foyer.
Duo gaped, eyes wide. "How... how in the hell..."
Aliera smiled at his expression. "Legacy from my mother. She wasn't as strong, though."
Harmonie glared at her slightly.
*What?!* Aliera asked telepathically. *It's not like I'm using it to harm anyone!*
*You know damned well that you shouldn't do that... especially out in the open like that! Besides, it wears down your strength!* Harmonie silently lectured, the two glaring at each other.
Aliera glared a moment longer, then sagged slightly. She sat down.
Duo glanced worriedly between the two of them. Then he noticed how tired Aliera looked. "Is she okay?" he asked, his question directed at Harmonie.
Harmonie sighed, her anger forgotten. "Yes... well... she will be. She has been using her abilities too much."
"Will you please stop talking about me as if I'm not here?" Aliera groused. "I can speak for myself, you know."
Harmonie shot her a small glare. "Well, if you would be a bit more careful..." Harmonie sighed, deciding not to argue, knowing that a tired Aliera meant a stubborn Aliera. "Come on, to bed you go!"
"Not until she eats," Sally interrupted. She glared at Aliera. "Kitchen. Food. NOW."
Aliera sighed and trudged to the kitchen, mumbling under her breath.
Harmonie followed after, keeping an eye on her best friend and partner as she ate a banana. [1]
Back in the living room, Sally sighed and slumped slightly. "I hate it when she does that," she said under her breath.
Duo looked at her. "You mean this has happened before?"
Sally snorted. "She's just lucky I'm a doctor."
"What's happened to her?" he demanded.
"I've been in four comas, each of them longer than a month," Aliera replied, coming from the kitchen, Harmonie following. She gave a sarcastic smile. "Legacy from my mother. Seems like a curse sometimes."
Harmonie nodded. "If she wouldn't over use it...," she added under her breath.
"I heard that," Aliera said. She looked at Duo and tried to allay his fears. "Every time I use it, I expend energy. Nothing that a little rest doesn't cure," she smiled half-heartedly.
"Speaking of which." Harmonie gestured towards the stairs.
Aliera nodded tiredly. She headed toward the stairs. Duo jumped up to accompany her, wrapping an arm around her waist. She smiled and leaned against him, relying on him to lead her. She rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes, almost asleep already.
Wufei passed the couple going down the stairs. "e'Kieron exhaust herself again?" He half asked, half stated to the group in the living room.
He got immediate glares from Harmonie and Sally.
Quatre's eyes bugged slightly and he put a hand over his heart, glancing at Harmonie.
Harmonie closed her eyes and barely controlled her anger at the Chinese boy in front of her.
Quatre stood and left the room, grabbing Harmonie on his way out, barely registering that they were in a closet.
"You're mad at him. Why?" Quatre asked her.
"Because!" she practically yelled, stopping to control herself. "Because he's an asshole." she stated more quietly.
"Oh, that tells me a lot, Harm! Come on..." he prodded. Quatre stopped, eyes widening. "You like him, don't you?" he asked disbelievingly. All the tangled emotions coming from her fell into place.
Harmonie stood stock-still, not saying a word.
"It's true, isn't it? You like Wufei."
"I don't just like him. I...I love him," she said so quietly that Quatre had to strain to hear her.
Quatre's went wide. "Wow."
"But he doesn't give a damn about me..." she added.
"Well...I'm sure he does, in his own way," Quatre replied, trying to comfort her.
Harmonie snorted. "Right. Can we come out of the closet now?"
Quatre smiled. "I already did, remember?" he teased.
She giggled. "Well, how about we do it again? Oh, and did I mention that the object of your affections is here too?"
Quatre blushed and ducked his head. "I thought he was afraid of you two?"
Harmonie grinned. "He still is. Seems to think we're a threat to him for some reason," she said thoughtfully. "I think he's warming to us though... we didn't booby trap his room this time..."
Quatre snorted. "THIS time..."
She giggled. "Um, Q? This closet is getting small..."
"Very well, if we must...shall we come out of the closet, Ms. Firefly?" he said jokingly, offering his arm to her.
"Yes, we shall." She grinned and they exited the closet. [2]
They entered the living room and sat down on a loveseat. Everyone looked at them. "What?" They asked together.
Heero twitched.
Harmonie and Quatre looked at each other, both feeling the emotions coming from Heero. "Go get him." She said quietly.
Quatre grinned and stood up. He took a deep breath, then launched himself at Heero, glomping him and pressing a kiss to his mouth.
"Mmmf!" Heero managed, before regaining control and dominating the kiss.
The other people in the room simply stared, not quite believing what their eyes were seeing, with the exception of Harmonie, who just grinned.
Once the need for oxygen made itself known, the two pulled apart and looked at each other. Heero nodded, stood, and threw Quatre over one shoulder, carrying him upstairs.
"Don't be too loud, guys! Allie's sleeping!" Harmonie yelled before collapsing in laughter.
Trowa silently stood and gathered his bags to unpack and Sally left to do some research in her lab.
Realizing that she was alone with Wufei, Harmonie fidgeted uncomfortably.
"Harmonie... I... apologize." Wufei dropped his head.
She blinked. "Huh?" she asked intelligently, then mentally smacked herself.
"I said I apologize. I was wrong." he looked at her and continued before she could interrupt, "You are more than just an ally to me. Much more. I..." He let the earlier actions of Quatre and Heero spur him on, "I care about you. More than I think I should. In fact, I think... I think I love you." He stood up to leave.
"Wait!" Harmonie stopped him. She turned him around to face him, searching his face. "You really mean it?" she asked quietly.
"I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it."
Harmonie processed that in her mind, then did something that completely surprised him....she kissed him, hands reaching up to cup his face. It was a simple, breathtakingly sweet kiss that said more than either teen had words for. They broke apart, foreheads meeting as they looked into each other's eyes.
"Does that tell you how I feel?" she asked, a soft smile curving her lips. He nodded, unable to speak.
She looked at him passionately. "Make love to me."
He looked down at her, surprised. "Are... are you sure?"
"I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it." [3]
Wufei thought about that, then nodded. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder, duplicating the action Heero took earlier.
Harmonie laughed. "Oh, how romantic!" she rolled her eyes.
Wufei lightly slapped her bottom. "Quiet, woman," he teased as he continued up the stairs to his room.
"Caveman." Harmonie retorted, watching her braids hit the steps.
"You know you like it," he replied, smirking.
"Your point?" she said, taking the opportunity to admire Wufei's ass underneath his white pants.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Trowa was up in his room, unpacking his things. He looked up when he heard a thump from Heero and Quatre's room, then returned to his task. His attention was drawn from his task again when Wufei walked by his door with Harmonie slung over his shoulder, much like Heero did Quatre. He briefly wondered if Harmonie did the same thing to Wufei as Quatre did to Heero, then returned to unpacking, again. [4]
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Aliera yawned and sat up, rubbing sleep out of her eyes. She looked over to find Duo still asleep beside her. He mumbled and opened one eye to look at her. "Go back to sleep." He reached up and pulled her to him, effectively dispelling any desire she had to get out of bed.
Aliera smiled and snuggled up to his side, laying her head on his chest. Just as she was about to fall asleep, a blast of extreme pleasure hit her senses, making her shiver.
Duo stirred slightly, holding her tighter. "What's the matter?" he mumbled, eyes still closed.
Feeling extremely giddy, she rolled on top of him, making his eyes open in surprise.
"Did I mention that I have empathic abilities as well as telekinesis?" she asked, giggling.
Duo just looked at her, still confused and sleepy.
She leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Our friends are having a good time." She giggled again as his eyes widened.
She kissed him in a way that left no doubts in Duo's mind what she wanted. Kissing back, he rolled them over so that he was on top. Pulling back, he looked down at her. "Are you sure about this?" he asked.
She nodded. "Absolutely," she replied, and pulled him down to her again as their lips met again. Neither spoke for quite a while.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was late at night. Duo shifted, then awoke as he realized that Aliera was not beside him. Slipping out of bed, he picked up a robe and threw it on as he walked out of his room in search of his missing lover.
He found her in the music room, seated at the piano and playing a soft melody that seemed to fit the mood in the house perfectly. Smiling to himself, he walked up behind her and nuzzled her neck, feeling decidedly lazy. She stopped playing and leaned into him, making a soft sound of contentment when he wrapped his arms around her.
They sat there for a few minutes that seemed like an eternity before Duo spoke.
"I love you," he whispered, reluctant to break the silence.
"I love you too," she replied, just as softly, smiling when his arms tightened around her. He buried his face in her neck and breathed in her scent, committing it to memory.
"You scared me half to death today, you know," he murmured. He felt more than heard her sigh.
"I know. I'm sorry." She smiled ruefully. "I do tend to use my abilities more than is good for me." She chuckled to herself. "The first time I went into a coma, I was trying to move a boulder, just to see if I could." [5] She sobered. "I don't know what would have happened if Sally hadn't found me. I could have died." That thought, spoken out loud, made chills run down her spine. She shivered involuntarily.
Duo stood up and scooped her into his arms. She looked up in surprise.
"Feeling like a gentleman, are we?" she teased, the look in her eyes taking the sting out of her words.
"No, feeling selfish. Let's go back to bed," he replied. He felt her snuggle against his chest.
"Hmm. Sounds good to me," she said, almost asleep. She felt him place her in the bed before crawling in next to her and pulling the covers over them both.
He kissed her bare shoulder. "Good night," he whispered, then fell asleep.
********************
Harmonie opened one eye and watched Wufei get up and leave. She waited two minutes and got up herself, meeting Aliera and Duo in the hall. Without a word, the three teenagers slipped silently into the shadows and followed Wufei to his destination....the music room. They waited until Wufei was a good ten minutes into playing before they entered quietly. The three teens looked at each other. Harmonie nodded slightly, and they crept up behind him on noiseless feet and prepared to give him the scare of his life. "BOO!!"
Wufei calmly turned around to face the three. "And why, might I ask, are you three sneaking around at this time of day and stalking me?" [6]
Duo and Harmonie pouted. Aliera stood a small distance away, shaking her head and trying to hold back her laughter for fear of waking up the house. "Well..." Harmonie started, looking into Wufei's eyes, "We need some to play keyboard in our band..." she gave him a look.
"And you want me to join, is that correct?" he finished. Harmonie and the others nodded. "Well, okay. It could be fun." The others blinked at him. "What?"
"That's IT? We did all that planning and you just GIVE IN! Oi!" Duo threw his hands up.
Harmonie pouted. "Fei, you were supposed to argue with us, like you normally do!" She put the back of her hand against his forehead. "Are you sure you're feeling all right?"
Aliera muttered. "I'm going back to bed..." she leered at Duo. Duo leered back in response and threw her over his shoulder, charging up the stairs.
Harmonie looked at Wufei and giggled. "I think they have the right idea..." she yawned. "I'm going back to sleep."
