From his bed, Duo stared at the blaring red digits on the alarm clock that read 5:00 am. "Damn it!" he cursed. He had promised Wufei and Quatre that he would not oversleep, and that they would get started on planning the mission to infiltrate the Organization at 7:00 am, when the offices in their apartment building opened. Of course, at the time, he had not anticipated that he would spend all night tossing and turning. He has gotten about ten minutes of sleep the entire night, and Duo knew exactly what had brought this bought of insomnia on. Stupid Trowa, he thought as he shifted yet again in his bed, why the hell did he bring up the past? Duo groaned and continued tossing in his bed, attempting to capture at least another few minutes of sleep.
What made the whole situation impossible to endure was that Duo was sure that Trowa was in the living room sound asleep. What would keep him up? It's not like he had been reminded of an unrequited love. All Duo could do was replay the conversation that the two of them had over and over in his mind. How had Trowa figured out his feelings for Heero? And furthermore, Trowa had always intuitively known when to keep his mouth shut, why the hell hadn't that kicked in this time? Duo was ready to admit that things weren't exactly calm before Trowa came back into his life, but he has a nice program of denial going on as far as his love life had been concerned. Who did Trowa think he was screwing the whole thing up?
"What an asshole," Duo murmured to himself. He was getting more pissed off by the minute, the night was starting to feel like it would never end. He turned over and looked at the clock again; it read 5:05 am. "Fuck that's it, I've had it!" Duo exclaimed as he threw off his covers and marched towards the door. He opened the door silently and crept down the hallway, towards the couch that he knew Trowa was sleeping on. He did his best not to make a sound so that he didn't wake up Quatre and Wufei in the other room. Duo didn't know exactly what he wanted to do to Trowa, but after his shitty night of sleep he was pretty sure that it was going to be violent, and he didn't want the others to interfere.
Duo finally reached the sofa, and sure enough, Trowa was blissfully asleep on it. He looked so peaceful with his face relaxed and his arms wrapped around a pillow. Duo shook his head trying to shake off the wave of affection that overcame him. He grabbed a nearby pillow and inched closer to Trowa's sleeping form. I'm not really going to smother him, just scare him out of that slumber of his. If I can't get any sleep because of him, I should at least return the favor, Duo reasoned as a smirk graced his face.
Duo crouched down next to the sofa, and got ready to pounce on his unsuspecting prey. Trowa was stronger than him, but if he pulled his plan off right he could scare the shit out of Trowa and get behind his locked bedroom door, before Trowa fully comprehended what had happened to him. Duo knew that he was being childish, but he also knew that making Trowa miserable would make him feel a hell of a lot better. Just seeing him on that couch, resting peacefully, with his stupid muscular arms and . Duo couldn't help but notice Trowa's lack of clothing. The former Heavyarms's pilot slept without covers, sprawled out on the sofa in only his boxers. His entire body seemed to be made of either muscle or bone, like he had been engineered for maximum efficiency. Duo suddenly realized that he had better attack before his attempted murder turned into attempted rape. He smoothly moved over Trowa's body with all the grace that he possessed, and held the pillow a few inches from the sleeping boy's face. With his face set in a look of determination, Duo went in for the kill.
The next thing Duo knew, he was pinned on the floor by a very awake, and very pissed off Trowa Barton. Trowa's reaction time had completely caught him off guard, it was as if he had been lying there waiting to be attacked. Duo struggled against the weight on top of him, but it was like working against concrete.
He tried to regain the breath that had been knocked out of him, as Trowa spoke.
"And just what the hell do you think your doing Duo?" Trowa snarled as he brought his face closer to Duo's. It took Duo what seemed like an eternity to find his voice. Trowa's eyes seemed to glow in the dark room, and Duo was frankly scared for his life. However, Duo prided himself on never telling lies, and he wasn't about to start now.
"I was trying to wake you up."
"Do you always try and wake people up by trying to kill them?" Trowa whispered harshly.
"It's effective isn't it?" Duo mumbled as he quickly surveyed Trowa's chiseled chest, he swore the guy was inhuman.
"What do you want?" Trowa asked, his voice not losing any of its venom.
"Right now? Well I want you to let me up." Duo put all of his force up against Trowa's body and succeeded in getting a few inches off the floor. Trowa let out a snort that was a combination of amusement and contempt, before slamming Duo back on the ground. "Shit Trowa, your going to bruise the hell out of me."
"That's the idea stupid."
"I'll call for help, Wufei and Quatre are right in the other room."
"If you think that I'm pissed off, try waking up Wufei. I assure you that if I explained the situation to him he would have no problem with me killing you right now." Trowa leaned down further so that his mouth was right next to Duo's ear, "Now tell me what the hell it is that you want, or I am going to have to assume you're a traitor and deal with you accordingly."
Duo felt a wave of panic overtake him, "Come on Trowa you're not serious are you? Besides I am your star witness," Duo flashed him his most charming smile, "you can't exactly kill me can you? But, since I don't feel like being pinned here for the remainder of the night I'll tell you why I attacked you." Duo let his smile fade and fixed Trowa with an intense stare, "It's because you had to go bringing up Heero, and I already left that bullshit in the past. I'm pissed off because you came into my life and fucked everything up; the way I live, the way I think, and the way I act, and I wanted to get back at you for it, that's all. I couldn't stand the thought of your smug ass getting a good night of sleep while I was tossing in my bed over a past that got thrown in my face, and that I am powerless to change. I'm over Heero! Can't you get that?" Duo noticed that Trowa's angry glare had faded, "Let me up already Trowa, wouldn't you rather continue this conversation in an upright position?"
"Not particularly, but I wouldn't mind making myself more comfortable." Duo watched Trowa's face, memorized by the evil grin that had appeared there. His breath caught in a mixture of shock and excitement as Trowa lowered his body against his. Through his thin flannel pants, Duo could feel Trowa's hardness, and promptly began cursing his own body as he felt it start to betray him.
"Oh so you do like me?" Trowa spoke in a quiet, but rough voice. "And I thought you wanted to kill me."
"I wasn't trying to kill you," Duo responded in a strained tone as he desperately tried to keep some kind of control over his body, "But after this I think I will, because now I really don't like you." Duo prayed in his head that Quatre and Wufei wouldn't wake up. If those two caught him in this position, they would never let him live it down.
"What's that? You say you don't like me?" Trowa moved his hips against Duo, causing an involuntary groan to escape the smaller boy. Trowa, himself, bit his lip to avoid making the same sound. "Well your body seems to like me Duo; hopefully the rest of you will catch up later."
Duo tried to keep control of his thoughts, but all that he could grasp was more and more confusion. "Why are you doing this Trowa?" Duo finally asked, with a tone of defeat.
"Simple, because you want this and I want this." Trowa moved his body against Duo again as if to reinforce his point. He watched Duo's eyes shut as his face showed an emotion somewhere between pain and pleasure. "Just let go Duo. I promise I won't hurt you." With that said Trowa leaned down and gave Duo a demanding kiss. Duo gasped at the feel of warm lips on his, and Trowa took full advantage of the access to Duo's mouth. Duo had been kissed before, but they had always been the awkward gestures of adolescent affection. Trowa had none of the tentativeness of youth, he was skilled and aggressive. Duo was suddenly glad that he was on the floor, had he been standing his legs would have given out by now.
Duo once again pushed his body up against Trowa's, but this time he was not doing it as a means of escape. He groaned when Trowa pushed back and ground his erection against him. Trowa let go of one on Duo's wrists and let his hand slide down the boy's thin frame, letting it settle between his legs. Trowa broke their kiss to seek reassurance from Duo. He looked into the other boy's eyes, and could see that desire had overtaken whatever anger had been there in the first place. He parted Duo's legs with his free hand, and settled himself between them. Trowa kissed Duo again as the boy's legs wrapped around his waist. This time the kiss was broken when both let out hushed moans at the contact between their sexes.
"Trowa." Duo whispered.
"Mmmmm?" Trowa mumbled made a trail of kisses along Duo's neck.
"Let go of my other hand."
Trowa brought his face up so that his eyes met Duo's, "Can I trust you to behave and not try to kill me?"
"No,' Duo grinned, "but you can trust me not to run."
Trowa smirked slightly and let go of Duo's hands, as he captured his lips once more. Duo knew he was almost at the point where he would have no control left over himself, and he was surprised to find that he didn't care. He'd never been any farther than a couple of make out sessions when he was younger, but it didn't feel as though Trowa was planning on stopping there. With this thought Duo broke the kiss, resulting in a questioning look from Trowa, "Look, Trowa, I've never."
Duo's statement was cut off by the blaring sound of an alarm going off in Quatre and Wufei's room. Trowa lifted his head and turned it towards the room with the offensive sound coming out of it, "You've got to be fucking kidding me," he cursed under his breath.
"Trowa let me up, they might freak out if the catch us like this," Duo whispered quickly.
Trowa down at Duo, and then back at the room with the alarm, and then back at Duo again. He mumbled a few more curses and got off Duo, helping him up to his feet.
"All right I am going to go to my bed and pretend that I am just waking up, you do the same all right?"
"Yeah, fine." Trowa murmured.
Duo started to move down the hallway towards his room, only to be pulled back by his forearm and pushed up against the wall. Before Duo knew what was happening, he was once more engaged in a fierce kiss with Trowa. This time Duo's knees did give out, but fortunately Trowa supported him easily. When Duo finally managed to pull away, he felt completely dazed. "We'll finish this later," Trowa whispered.
Duo managed to nod, and actually got his feet to carry him back to his own bedroom. Once he got in the room he immediately got under the covers and stared at the ceiling. "Holy shit," he murmured as he tried to get his body to calm down.
Although he was expecting it, Duo jumped when he heard the knock at his bedroom door. "Time to get up Maxwell! Coffee is on!"
Duo leapt out of his bed and opened the door, smirking slightly at Wufei's disheveled appearance. "You look like hell Wufei."
"It turns out that Winner is quite the snorer, I had a rough night. You can take a shower if you want, but just to warn you, it takes a while for the water to heat up."
"The colder the better." Duo mumbled as he walked towards the bathroom and thought about his own rough night.
Sorry it took a while to get this chapter up. Work and School have been hell. *dies*
