Disclaimer: Don't own Gundam Wing, If I did Duo Maxwell would be mine insert evil grin here
Ok, this was originally a one shot but reviewers have told me that they want more and I'm here to please so here you go! I'm warning you, I'm NEVER this nice to Wufei so lap it up while you can.
Peanut Butter and Jelly
Wufei walked down the stairs of Quatre's mansion and into the kitchen. The other Gundam pilots were already there. Duo and Heero were sitting at the table with their breakfast, looking up and grinning like loons when their eyes met. Quatre was cooking his, Trowa and Wufei's breakfast and his lover was standing next to him, they would look over at Duo and Heero and smile at each other. Wufei figured that he's either missed something or someone had given out happy pills when he was upstairs.
"Hey guys, what's up?"
"Hi Wufei!" Quatre beamed "Breakfast will be ready in a minute"
"Ok, thanks" Wufei sat down at the table across from Duo and Heero "Well you two are certainly chummy this morning" All he got in reply was a giggle from Duo.
Wufei looked perplexed when Quatre put his breakfast down in front of him, Duo and Heero had just finished and left "What's with them?"
Quatre imitated the giggle of his best friend "I think you'll have to ask them" He then sat with Trowa and ate his meal. Their heads were close together, talking in whispers. Wufei couldn't take it; everyone knew something that he didn't. He quickly finished eating and went to go find Duo or Heero. But he couldn't find them anywhere. As he had a mild mission to go on he left and didn't think about it until he came home late that night.
When he came in he knew that everyone would be in the lounge, well, he called it the lounge. Everyone seemed to call it different things. Heero and Trowa called it the living room, Quatre said it was the den and to Duo it was the T.V room, since in it was a large, wide screen T.V on which they watched movies on a Saturday night. As today was Saturday they would all be in there as nobody left until 2am. Some nights they even ended up sleeping in there.
When he entered they were all on the couch. Duo yawned and snuggled closer into Heero, who put his arm around him. Quatre was already asleep with his head resting lightly on Trowa's chest. It was then that Wufei figured out what he'd missed. Something had happened and everyone had gone gay. He knew that Quatre and Trowa were together but Duo and Heero? He'd never thought of that possibility. It was odd though, he didn't feel disgusted or any thing. He felt left out. Not that he wanted to be gay but everyone now has a special someone, like a best friend but better. He'd sort of had a relationship with Duo, but it was one of 'I can annoy you more than you can annoy me' not really something of great friendship. He'd never really had a best friend. Ever.
Heero noticed that Wufei was standing in the doorway and Duo followed his lover's gaze "Hi Wu-Man! Come on! Now that Quatre's asleep we can watch an action movie with disgustingly unnatural amounts of blood in it!"
"Erm... No thanks... I think I'll just go to bed"
"Aww, but Wu. You'll really like it I promise. It's got this really cool Zen master dude in it. Some guys speak Chinese too, I know you love translating!"
"It's ok, really, you guys have fun. I'll be upstairs if you need me" So he left. He'd let them have a little double date thing, even if Trowa's partner was unconscious. Wufei climbed the stairs to his room. He passed the stairway that led to Duo's. He was glad he'd lost that fight for it; otherwise he'd be climbing an extra fifty stairs every night, there were enough of them already.
Wufei's room was decorated to remind him of home. He had oriental things everywhere. The laws and disciplines of martial artists were written in Chinese on his wall. Duo thought that it was Japanese at first and tried to read it, he thought that the first law was 'Always wash your chickens and stamp your mother' he got a little disturbed, stopped reading and immediately asked Wufei where the chickens where and what did his poor mother do to deserve stamping. Wufei was laughing for at least two days.
Wufei sat on his meditation cushion and thought, how on earth did Heero and Maxwell get together with out him noticing. He'd always thought that Heero liked Releena, no matter how hard he said that he was going to kill her, and he thought that Duo had it for Hilde. But, he was wrong about Quatre and Trowa too. He thought Quatre's empathy would stop him from ever being with someone and he thought that Trowa liked Catherine. How was he supposed to know that Cathy was Trowa's sister and that's why they spent so much time together? Boy, did Wufei feel a fool after that came out in the open.
So here he was, in his room, alone, again. It wasn't long until he heard footsteps in the hallway outside. 'That's odd' he thought 'the movie couldn't have finished yet' it was then that he heard a knock on his door "Who is it?"
"Na no da!!"
"Maxwell, I thought you were watching a movie"
"I was going to, but the disk wouldn't go in and then Heero got a little frustrated and shot the DVD player"
"So you thought you'd come and talk to me?"
"Yep! I'm lonely, Trowa's consoling Quatre because he woke up to the gunshot and thought we were under attack. You know, I've never seen a guy jump so high without a trampoline. Heero's trying to find the other DVD player, which is... Somewhere. So, are you going to let me in?"
"I suppose so, door's open"
"Yay! Hi!"
"You've had sugar haven't you?"
"And lots of it! Why were you so down before?"
"Oh, no reason"
"Did your mission go poopy?"
"Poopy? You have had a lot of sugar haven't you. No, the mission was fine"
"Then how come you wont watch the movie with us?"
"The DVD player is broken"
"You know what I mean!" Duo jumped down and sat cross-legged in front of Wufei "Tell me"
"No"
"Tell me!"
"No"
"TELL ME!"
Wufei's eyes widened "You want to know that much?"
"Yes, why wont you come watch movies with us?"
"That's just it Duo. I have no 'us'"
"Huh?" Duo looked so confused that Wufei almost laughed. Even his braid looked like a sort of question mark because of the way it trailed on the floor around the sitting Shinigami.
"Quatre and Trowa are an 'us'. You and Heero are an 'us' who do I have?"
Duo grinned, "Know about me and Heero do ya?" He then giggled and looked Wufei in the eye. Then his sugar high sort of fell off and he looked concerned "Wufei, just because we're two couples now doesn't mean that we're going to leave you out."
"I know, but it's going to be awkward. I can see it now, me in the middle of the four of you, you and Heero kissing on my right and Trowa and Quatre kissing on my left and me stuck there, alone."
"Hey, you like Sally don't you? What if you got with her? She's nice"
"Duo, I don't want to go out with some random girl just so I wont feel left out when you all start showing that you love each other. You should have seen you and Heero this morning at the table. You were practically oozing with pink gooey love stuff, and just now you were all snuggled together"
"You ok Wu?"
"No, I guess I'm a little jealous that you all now have someone to be all gooey and snuggled with and it's with someone who understands that we go on missions and could die. It just feels that I'm never going to find that"
Duo shuffled forward and gave Wufei a hug, from the Chinese boy's shoulder he said, "Don't worry Wu-Man. I'll find you a girl. Even if it kills me"
"Thanks Duo. So, how did you and Heero get together anyway?"
"He hugged me"
Wufei immediately threw Duo off him "Don't even think it!"
Duo stared in shock for a second and then they both burst out laughing. They only stopped when they heard a voice from downstairs yell, "Come one! We've found it!" they realised that it was Trowa when they heard Heero reply, "What do you mean we found it. I found it!"
Duo got up and pulled Wufei with him "Hey, Q-babe's gone to bed. You could be Trowa's snuggle bunny!"
"Har har Maxwell, Har har"
Duo grinned, back on his previous sugar high and as they were going down the stairs he yelled, "Heero! Honey! I'm coming down now!" Duo's grin widened and Wufei smiled as Heero yelled back up "How many more times do I have to tell you! Stop calling me honey!"
Duo whispered to the Chinese boy "I only do it to annoy him" he then shouted back "What shall I call you then!"
"Heero! Last time I checked it was still my name!"
"Aww, but you call me Braidy-poo!"
"I DO NOT CALL YOU BRAIDY-POO!!!"
At this they entered the living room, Wufei and Trowa were already laughing. Duo was still grinning like a loon and Heero looked like steam was going to come out of his ears. That was until Duo went over and planted a kiss firmly on the Perfect soldier's lips. Wufei thought that the kiss lasted longer than necessary but that could be just him. When they stopped Heero was back to his normal self but he was blushing, Duo on the other hand was grinning so widely that Wufei thought his face was going to split in two.
Duo then started to jump up and down "Moviemoviemoviemoviemoviemoviemovie!!!!" Heero glared over at Trowa "How many pockies did you let him have?"
"I thought you were watching how many he had"
It was then that Wufei realised that he was on Duo sugar watch this week. Heero and Trowa must have also remembered as they both said in unison, "Wufei! It was your turn!"
"I was on mission today! How could I have watched him!"
Heero sighed "Great, now he's on a sugar high until the morning, he wont sleep and I've got to share a bed with him"
"Oh really?" Wufei grinned like his sugar filled companion as Heero turned tomato red and in a small voice said "oops"
They all laughed and Duo bounced off the couch and onto Heero's back, put his arms around him and kissed his cheek. Then they all sat down on the couch, Duo was snuggled into Heero and about half way through the film Quatre came down because he couldn't sleep due to the shock he had before. He sat on Trowa's lap and the French boy put his arms around him. Wufei was in the middle, but he didn't mind, it was quite sweet really. Duo's sugar high wore off faster than any of them expected and was flat out and snoring slightly with his head on Heero's shoulder. Quatre had hid his face in Trowa's chest because of the blood and guts in the film; it wasn't long before he was asleep again.
Even though things had changed so much, that Wufei was the only single and straight boy in the house, it felt like normal. Every Saturday it always ended up that Wufei, Heero and Trowa would see the end of the film as Duo and Quatre would fall asleep, then next week they'd have to play the same film from where they last saw it, which usually meant watching the last half hour of it again. Even when the film had ended it was the same. Wufei and Heero would clear up while Trowa put Quatre and Duo to bed and then come back down to do whatever Wufei and Heero hadn't done. They would then check the calendar to see who had a mission this week and who was on Duo sugar watch. The watch had to be doubled if the American had a mission that week, as a Sugar high Shinigami in a Gundam was a very bad idea.
Then they all climbed the stairs and said goodnight at the top, Heero asked Trowa where he had put Duo, Trowa replied that he wouldn't carry Duo up all those stairs so he put him in Heero's room. So Heero went off to the left, Trowa went straight on to his and Quatre's room and Wufei went right to return to his. It had been an odd day, with finding out about Heero and Duo and then the talk he and the American had had. Wufei lay down on his bed, he had been a little shocked at first but after replying the image of Duo snuggled into Heero with the Japanese boy's arm around him, he realised something. They fitted together; Wufei racked his brain for an analogy and then found it. They were peanut butter and jelly, completely different but great when they come together. Yes, Duo and Heero's relationship was like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They were perfect for each other.
Yay! I've decided to keep going with this fic so expect more! Maybe not so soon though as I kind of have exams to revise for but ASAP, trust me! Don't forget to R R!
Ok, this was originally a one shot but reviewers have told me that they want more and I'm here to please so here you go! I'm warning you, I'm NEVER this nice to Wufei so lap it up while you can.
