Monday Part Three: Detention

*********************

After having something like a normal day, apart from the quiet since Duo and Heero decided not to talk to each other, the boys re-met. Just after the last class, Quatre fell down some stairs on his way to the lockers and Trowa had to carry him to the Nurse. Either way, the day passed with only a little excitement. The first to meet inside of Mr. Khushrenada's classroom was Wufei and Mr. Khushrenada himself.

"Good afternoon," said Wufei as he walked over to his desk and unpacked some books. "I think the others said they'd be here shortly. Quatre had a little accident." Mr. Khushrenada sighed, "I bet it was all Duo's fault." Wufei shook his head, "Nah, actually, he just fell down the stairs trying to get his books. He has really weak arms, I think."

Mr. Khushrenada walked over Wufei and took the boy's glasses off, which caught Wufei's attention. "That's very interesting Mr. Chang, or can I perhaps call you, Wufei?" Wufei swallowed. "Ah, Wufei is alright, Mr. Khushrenada." The elegant professor of literature raised an eyebrow, "Oh but my dear Wufei, please call me Treize, with the same courtesy of course."

//"I can't believe he is talking to me like this,"// thought Wufei.

"Yes sir, Treize." Said the blushing young man. He would be seventeen this year, maybe the teacher was younger than he had first assumed.

Wufei mentally slapped himself. //"Right, and he's still in a teaching position! Nope. It's your overactive imagination." //

Treize stood up. He had heard something from the hallway. "I believe that would be your friends, including a Mr. Winner." One could hear the boy screaming a little as Trowa tried to get him to walk with the crutches. "Trowa! Stop! It hurts!"

Duo laughed and helped Quatre, "Like he hasn't heard that before, huh?" Heero slapped the back of Duo's head. "You idiot!" Duo ran into the classroom with his back turned to Heero, and his eyes shut. "I'm not talking to you Heero Yuy, kiss my ass you son of bitch!" Duo kept talking and walking with his eyes shut, until he ran face first into an obstacle.

"Oh hi there Mr. Khushrenada." Treize stepped back and folded his arms. He really couldn't stand this one. "Good afternoon Duo. Take your seat and shut your mouth, now." Duo nodded then ran over to his desk. Treize was a very tall teacher. Something about height commanded him a little, only a little.

Heero walked in, "So don't talk to me. Save my ears from bleeding you stupid bitch." He stopped by Treize and nodded to this young teacher. "Hi Mr. Khushrenada." Then Heero sat down beside Duo. The boys exchanged glowers then turned away from each other.

Quatre sighed at the sight. "Good afternoon Mr. Khushrenada, may I sit between those two?" Treize nodded, "You as well Mr. Barton." Treize walked back to his desk and pulled out four books. "Your assignment is simple for today gentlemen. Read the first three chapters of this book and for extra homework write an summary of it, don't forget it has to be more than three pages, front and back."

Heero sighed, but accepted the work. Quatre beamed, "Is this a good book in your opinion Mr. Khushrenada?"

Treize smiled at Quatre, "Yes I believe it is. I almost forgot your interest in Alexander the Great. This is a marvelous and well written novel on him Mr. Winner." Quatre smiled back. Duo rolled his eyes. "Please, a boring history of Alexander the Great? Why!"

Wufei frowned, "Its not boring Maxwell! It's very well written! One might think that an blood-liking idiot like yourself would appreciate the war descriptions!" Duo beamed. "Blood! Cool!"

The class became quiet for a while as the boys read. Wufei was doing a separate writing assignment for a contest. Treize came and stood behind him, looking over the boy's shoulder. "How adorable, your handwriting is very elegant Wufei. It's like artwork."

He leaned down with a red pen, "But here's a mistake, and." he whispered quietly in his ear. "I just happen to be very fond of artists." Wufei's glasses slipped down his nose. He looked up at his teacher. "... t-thank you sir." He could hear Duo snickering to the side.

Treize left the room for a moment and later stuck his head in, "Oh um... Wufei you're the only one actually free. Can you help me in here a moment?" Wufei hadn't heard the first part, but looked up and nodded. While he walked past the others, Duo whistled, "Whoopee. huh Fei-Fei."

Wufei made sure Treize wasn't looking to the side, and slapped Duo on the side of his head. "You're so stupid Maxwell!" Then he walked away, coolly at first, but slipping a little at the end.

Trowa shook his head, "Damn shame."

Wufei walked into the crowded back room. Treize was at the end of it, looking up. "Come here would you. You're the smallest and I think you could get up there with a little more grace than myself." He was looking up at the top shelf. I think you just have to climb up a few steps and then you could reach it, that box. Don't worry about falling child, I'll hold you."

Wufei swallowed then, with Treize directly behind him, he tried climbing up to the top. The first shelf was shaky, but he kept going. He felt Treize holding his waist. That made the boy's body shiver a little. The slight shudder made his small foot slip on a step and he fell down. Treize caught Wufei and held him close in his arms.

"Are you alright child?" Asked Mr. Khushrenada with a concerned look, somewhat slyly. Wufei started to sit up, letting his glasses slip and very honestly asked, "Are you going to kiss me sir?"

Treize smiled, thought a moment and stood Wufei up. "Not unless you want me to, after class... outside of the school. Of course that couldn't be arranged though." He pulled Wufei's glasses off. "That wouldn't be very moral... would it little Posey?" Wufei swallowed and nodded. "It would be okay if I consented, sir."

Treize shook his head. "I'm afraid my little prince wouldn't agree with that. He's ever so careful of me. I wish I could give him something else to play with. He's a marvelous musician... he can make the most beautiful music from any instrument."

Wufei frowned. //"He would be dating... a rock star." //

Wufei gulped again. "Sorry if I misunderstood sir." He started to walk away but Treize grabbed his arm, gently. "Of course. One hates to be wrong when one's so very intelligent. Unless of course they're right... and can't be told so."

Wufei looked and smiled. "I think you can reach that shelf, you are a lot bigger than me, in height." Treize smiled back, reached up and pulled down the box. "You can't determine that yet I'm afraid." Wufei felt his cheeks light up. A rosy blush started across his face. He noticed Treize had winked at him and turned away. The boy turned around, shook off a wave horny intent and walked away.

Treize admired the shaky, walking figure for a moment. //"How adorable." //

Wufei walked back to his seat and tried to continue his work as if nothing had happened.

Duo watched as the Chinese boy sat completely composed and started writing. //"This is easy enough. The first page is a little boring but it's interesting." //

Duo looked at his own blank sheets of paper, then to the others. Quatre was still reading and with a smile.

Trowa looked a little bored was already writing. //"Hn. Speed reader." //

Heero was quietly sleeping on the side. //"Awww, the jerk does have his cute moments." //

Duo looked back at the stoic boy in front of him. He took notice to Wufei's hair. //"It's longer. The bastard trying to outdo me!" //

Duo couldn't help himself. He leaned over and pulled Wufei's ponytail loose. Wufei hadn't noticed until several dark locks of hair cascaded over his glasses. "Maxwell!!!!"
