********** Chapter 9 **********

"Surprise!!!!!!" Everyone yelled.

The kittens yowled at the top of there lungs as if they were trying to yell surprise too.

People ran to hug the stunned Duo as the cake was brought to him.

Everyone sang;

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday dear Duo Happy Birthday to you!!!

Duo blew out all twenty-two candles.

Everyone cheered as Duo cut the first slice of cake; the triplets pulled at Duo's pant legs.

"Let the party begin!!!" Duo yelled.

Everyone cheered even louder than they did before.

The cake was passed out; music was playing; almost everyone was dancing; it was a great party.

Duo opened the presents and loved every one of them. Especially the CD's that Heero and Trowa bought; he played those immediately after he opened them.

The first song Duo played out of the collection of CD's was the Baha Men's: Move It Like This.

**********

The party went on for probably an hour and a half already; one of Duo's favorite slow dance songs came on, he wanted to dance; but couldn't find Wufei.

'Where is he?' His mind asked. 'Wufei, where are you?'

The song was Brian McKnight's: Back At One.

Duo looked around and spotted Heero and Trowa dancing together; he took a picture of the two dancing with the digital camera he got from Stephanie. (Yes, the same Stephanie from the ice cream shop.)

'If those two never get together themselves; I can use this picture for blackmail and at least try to get them together.' Duo thought deviously.

All of a sudden; the song was cut off and switched to Boys to Men's: Down On Bending Knees.

Duo looked around when everyone stopped dancing; his eyes landed on Wufei.

Wufei was wearing a black and white tuxedo; with a rose in the front pocket.

Wufei made his way to Duo and gave him the rose; Duo had a confused look as to why everyone stopped dancing and why Wufei was dressed up so nicely.

"May I have this dance?" Wufei asked as he held out his hand.

"Yes, you may." Duo said as he put his hand in Wufei's.

Wufei and Duo dance through out the whole entire song; everyone was looking at them; but Duo was lost in Wufei's eyes; he never really noticed them.

At the last verses of the song; Wufei stopped dancing; then bent down one knee; holding Duo's right hand.

Duo gasped.

'Is he going to...' Duo thought.

"Duo, we have been together for so long; and you know I love you with all of my heart." Wufei said. "Duo Maxwell, will you marry me?"

Wufei took the velvet box out and presented the ring to Duo.

Duo had tears in his eyes.

"Y-yes Wufei; I will love to!" Duo said. "Yes!"

Tears came to Wufei's eyes as he put the ring on Duo's right hand ring finger. (Is the right hand the hand the engagement ring usually goes?)

Everyone applauded as Wufei stood up and grabbed Duo into a kiss.

"It's about time!!!" Someone yelled from the crowd.

No one noticed the voice; it was drowned by the clapping and cheering. (No one important yelling anyway.)

For the rest of the party; everyone slow danced; the children fell asleep, so did the kittens; Heero and Trowa drew more closer.

Heero and Trowa went inside the house to get away from the noise.

"Wow, what a party." Heero said.

"Yeah, from how nervous Wufei was; I thought he would have never asked Duo to marry him." Trowa said.

Both Heero and Trowa sat on the couch.

"Trowa, the cuts and bruises you had; did they leave any marks?" Heero asked.

"Not many." Trowa said. "The cuts are still healing."

"Trowa, at the mall; when you said you're nothing." Heero said. "How could you say that?"

"It's just that I felt that way." Trowa said. "After all of the years of pain and misery Quatre had brought me; I really felt like nothing."

"Don't say it again." Heero said. "You're amazing..."

Heero and Trowa drew closer; until their lips finally touched.

Heero put his arms around Trowa's waist to hold him closer.

Trowa put his arms around Heero's neck to hold him closer.

The kiss deepened at Heero slipped his tongue past Trowa's lips.

Trowa gasped; but acted fast.

There was an all out tongue battle between them.

**********

Out in the backyard the party continued.

It was almost ten; and most of the people already left. (They used the backyard gate to go home.)

Zechs looked around; then noticed Heero and Trowa were nowhere to be seen.

"Trieze, do you know where Heero and Trowa are?" Zechs asked.

"They're probably inside." Trieze said.

Wufei and Duo had finally stopped dancing.

"Where are Heero and Trowa?" Duo asked.

"Let's check inside." Zechs said.

The four started to walk; until they heard little meows.

"Where are the kittens?" Duo asked.

Everyone looked around.

"Hey guys." Max said. "I'm going to go now, see you later, kids say bye."

The triplets got together and shrieked:

"Bye!!!!!!!!!!"

Everyone rubbed their ears; those kids were loud.

"Okay, see you guys later." Duo said.

The four left; and the others continued to look for the kittens.

One of them fell from the air.

"Whoa!" Duo yelped.

Everyone looked up; and saw the kittens up in a tree.

"Do you think they're stuck?" Zechs asked.

Just then one by one; the remaining kittens jumped from the tree.

"Nope..." Trieze said.

"Now that we found the kittens; let's go find Heero and Trowa." Wufei said.

Everyone headed for the house.

When Wufei opened the door; everyone heard moaning.

Very quietly the door was closed; and everyone quietly crept to the living room.

When they got there; they found Heero on top of Trowa. (Fully clothed.)

"AH-HA, I knew it!!!" Duo yelled.

Trowa pushed Heero off over him; Heero fell off the couch onto the floor.

Trowa jumped off the couch and ran up to his room.

"Damn it Duo!!!" Heero hissed. "You and your big ass mouth!!!"

Everyone was laughing at what had just happened; they could hardly breathe.

Heero rushed up stairs after Trowa.

**********

Trowa was now pacing back and forth in his room.

"Oh god, what had come over me?" He whispered. "I was just kissing Heero. Do I love him?"

There was a knock at the door.

Trowa froze.

"Trowa, Trowa, are you okay?" Heero asked through the door.

Trowa said nothing.

"Trowa, can you please let me in?" Heero asked. "I have something to tell you."

'Should I let him in?' Trowa thought for a moment.

Trowa walked over to the door, unlocked it, and opened it, letting Heero in.

Trowa walked over to his bed; then signaled for Heero to have a seat.

Heero sat down beside Trowa.

"Trowa, why did you run?" Heero asked.

"I was scared..." Trowa mumbled.

"Why were you scared?" Heero asked.

"I don't want to be hurt again." Trowa whispered.

"I promise Trowa." Heero said as he cupped his hand on Trowa's cheek. "I won't hurt you."

"But..." Trowa started. "What about Scar? If he's after me for lust; and catches me; he'll kill me after he's done with me."

"Scar or anyone else will never break us apart." Heero whispered then he kissed Trowa.

Tears steamed down Trowa's cheeks as Heero kissed him.

He finally found true love.

To be continued.
