Wednesday Part Fifteen: It's Fashionable Darling

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

"You did what to the car!"

Treize smiled at the passing students with curious faces. He knew better than not to expect something like this to happen. He thought it odd for his cell phone to ring in the middle of lunch. He really should have known better.

"Why on earth were you speeding?"

Milliard pouted on the other line. Wufei was sitting on the curb and watching the car get towed.

"I asked you a question!"

"I wasn't speeding, I swear!"

"Then how on earth did it happen, Milliard?"

"I was kind of joy riding, but only a little bit. It really isn't my fault! This soccer mom rammed right into me when I was pulling into a space. I swear I didn't do it on purpose."

Treize rolled his eyes. "You never do it on purpose."

"Don't sound so irritated, Treize. I'm really, really sorry."

"I hope my insurance doesn't go up. again."

"I said I was sorry."

"You're forgiven. Now what's the other surprise?"

Milliard looked back at his ex-passenger. "Um, the boy is with me. The police asked about his parents. If that Sally girl sues, we're in trouble right?"

Treize dropped the phone into his spaghetti. // "Why on earth would Wufei be out with him? Alone?" //

"Treize? You there?"

The phone was wiped off, "Yes I'm still here. Why is Wufei with you?"

"It's a long story, I have to go now."

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

Wufei sighed. He sat with his knees pulled up to his chest. "Mr. Merquise sir. How are we getting back? Did you call a cab?" Milliard walked over shook his head, "No, not yet. I was telling Treize about the car trashing. But that's not as important as you are. Are you alright Wufei?" The boy looked up and brushed hair out of his eyes. "I'm still a little bit shaken. That was kind of scary." Milliard sighed and sat down beside the boy. "Really? I thought it was little exciting." He smiled and looked up towards the sun. "Treize is half right. I never mean to get into accidents, but I sort of enjoy them. Despite the cost."

The younger man frowned, "You have issues."

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

Trowa brushed off his clothes. He never intended to end up on the floor, but it was too late lay a towel down. "Movie's over. Come and let's catch up to he others." Quatre sat up and straightened his hair. "Okay. um. Do you see my wallet?" Trowa frowned. "What aren't they in your pants pocket." Quatre felt under the seat and pulled his pants up. "Nope. I thought I took it out." Trowa sighed. "Get you pants on. Well check around when the lights come on."

The tall teen leaned over the balcony and shouted. "Heero! Wait up a second, Quatre lost something."

Below the balcony, Duo Maxwell started laughing. "What the condoms? Can't leave without those huh!" Heero punched Duo's shoulder and pointed at the exit. A young couple and two little girls stood switching stares between the balcony and Duo. The braided boy grinned, "Ah, this isn't a movie to bring little kids to. Finding Nemo is next door." The couple nodded dumbly and dragged they're too-interested daughters out.

Duo broke into laughter afterwards. "That's was a good one, huh Hee-chan." Heero temporarily forgot himself and smiled. "That was great. Lets switch the signs or something." Duo snapped, "Cool! I wish I thought of that!" They were almost holding hands before they realized what had just transpired. Heero drew away immediately. Duo sighed.

// "That's it. Heero is my best buddy. This fight thing is getting annoying." // Duo shrugged and threw his arm around the reluctant Heero. "Like I was saying. Lets switch the Disney signs with the R movies and put something in the popcorn. I hope you bought your camera, cause this is going to be funny."

Heero shook his head, "Any idea where Wufei went?" Duo frowned, "Do I have to be blunt? Look man, I'm sorry for being a jerk if you're sorry for being an asshole. Can we forget about the Wufei thing now? I know it wasn't real." Heero smiled and wrapped his right arm around Duo waist. "I'm sorry for being an asshole. The Wufei thing wasn't real. We can forget about it now." Duo grinned, "Great! I'm starving!" The boy leaned in and hugged Heero. "Buy me some candy buddy, pretty please, with you on top." Heero laughed a little, // "Okay that's blunt." //

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

Wufei was speechless. The mall was quiet. He'd never seen it on a quiet day. Milliard raised a blonde eyebrow. "Whatever is the matter with you boy?" Wufei followed numbly, "Nothing. It's just so empty. I've never seen it like this." Milliard stretched and looked around. "Well, I do have something of a hunger. Let's go grab something to eat then find a few nice stores. There's no risk of annoying teenagers, so we should be okay." Wufei's face dropped, "I'm a teenager." Milliard sighed, "So, you're not an annoying one. Come on."

There was a little sushi restaurant just opening and the pair went walked in. "I love this place. Lets go sit over there. That's where I always sit." Wufei sat up as second too rudely to see if Milliard could even get his long legs under himself. Surprise, he did. "What are you staring at boy? Your shoes, silly, leave them outside of here over there." Wufei nodded and did as he was told. "Um. When are we leaving?" Milliard sighed, "Preferably after I've had something to eat. Stop asking so many questions. Wufei blushed and turned his attention to the menu. They or ordered and ate and nearly complete silence until it Milliard spontaneity figured out his move.

"Alright, I'm full, I'm mostly happy. Now it's time for some new clothes. I have a suit to pick up from my tailor, too."

Almost an hour of walking around had Wufei's legs hurting. Not to mention he was carrying most everything the older man picked out. At every shop, Milliard saw something he had to have or that would great on Treize or didn't do the boy a bad turn in fashion. "Here we go darling. Ahoy, eskling! It's you! The lines are perfect! You must have a pretty gorgeous body underneath it." He winked and Wufei immediately blushed. "Are we done yet?"

Wufei hadn't worn a sailor school uniform since he was twelve. This wasn't bringing back good memories. "Why do I have to try on clothes? I can't afford this stuff." Milliard smiled, "I'll have to buy then, won't I." He called the owner over. "Put all of this on my tab Charlie." The owner nodded and after Wufei came out he wrapped the new clothes up. "May I ask who this cute little gentleman is with you Milliard?" Milliard winked, "Not if Treize is to keep his job. Chao Charlie."

They finally reached the tailor. "Milliard stretched out and sat a few boxes in Wufei's arms. "Okay then. Let me get through this fitting and we can go call for a cab." An old man came out with a big smile on his face. "My Adonis! You came to pick up your suit already? It's not like you to come so early. You must have skipped a few shops." He was a little Italian man with a short beard and gray fading blue eyes and a cheerful expression.

Milliard shrugged, "I have company today, Fann. This is Wufei Chang. Wufei, this is Fann. The designer who's followed me most of my life." The old man laughed, "Pshaw my little Adonis. I was there to custom design your baby booties and diapers too! I have been there to design your whole life!" The little old man laughed and offered his hand. "Luigi Fann, call me Fann, all my friends do."

Wufei smiled and held out his hand. The man certainly seemed jovial enough. Wufei smiled back, "It's a pleasure to meet you Fann." Fann shook the boys hand then backed away. "Hmm, I can do something him." Wufei's eyes grew wide. "No way." Fann frowned, "Why not?" Wufei looked down at his feet. Zechs patted the boy on the shoulder. "It's alright, I said I'd pay for anything. If you're going to be my new songwriter then you obviously have to dress the look you have." Fann nodded, "He has a great look, my Adonis. Why maybe he's my new Ganymede?"

Wufei continued the staring contest with his feet. // "What's with all the weird nicknames lately?" //
