Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing or the characters... curses, huh?
Warnings: I wish I knew... no serious language, I think... shounen-ai, which is guys liking guys, no like, no read... and definite OOCness, because it's me *shrugs* gomen... okey-dokey? okey-dokey ^_^
Pairings? well, it's definitely 1+2/2+1... officially some 3+2(he has his reasons), maybe some added 5+2(he also has his reasons)... oh yeah H+2, too... okey dokey...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hilde hummed to herself, as she strolled around the mansion. It was a very beautiful home. Considering there were nothing but teenage guys living there. There was a housekeeper, but no butler(something about Duo being lazy enough, already?).
She plucked up a magazine, and sat down in an easy chair, then started to read.
***
Heero narrowed his eyes, as he crept up to Hilde with great stealth. Within a few seconds, he was directly behind her. He smirked devillishly and raised the vase over his head, ready to bring it down on Hilde's head.
"HEERO!" Quatre cried.
Hilde whirled around, just as Heero lowered the vase and hid it behind his back. He turned around to see the Arabian standing in the livingroom's entrance, tapping his foot.
"What's going on?" Hilde asked, nervously.
Heero pursed his lips, giving the younger a boy an innocent look, "what?" he asked, with a tone that rivalled Quatre's kind nature.
"Step away..." Quatre ordered.
"But, I..."
"Heero..."
"No, Quatre... I..."
"Heero..."
"I was just..."
"Heero..!"
With a sigh of defeat, Heero walked up to Quatre and the livingroom's entrance.
"... Hand it over..." Quatre said, calmly.
"Hand over what..?"
"Heero."
Grimacing, the Japanese pilot handed the younger boy the vase.
"And the paperweight..."
Heero sighed again, as he pulled out the heavy piece of glass from his jacket pocket and handed it over, as well. Quatre nodded, permitting Heero leave, who did, looking rather glum. Hilde just stared, not really understanding what just happened.
***
"Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold..!" Duo was chanting, as he shivered in the corner of the sofa. "Is this damn office always cold!?"
"It's called a den, Maxwell... and if you're cold, perhaps you should go somewhere else..." Wufei said, as he flipped through his novel.
"Can't move... too cold..." Duo informed him, his teeth chattering.
"Then get a blanket, at least."
"Perhaps you never heard me the first time..." Duo said, dryly. "Can't move... too cold... ringing any bells?"
Wufei rolled his eyes. "And what, praytell, would you like me to do about it..?" he asked, calmly.
"I dunno... turn up the heat?"
"The temperature's fine, Maxwell..."
"Spoken like a true He-Man[1]..!" Duo spat, sarcastically, still shivering.
"Damnit..." Wufei grumbled, "Yuy's gonna kill me..." Sighing, the Chinese pilot got up, and sat next to Duo. Then wordlessly went back to reading. Duo grinned, and in a surprisingly subtle manner, he snuggled closer to Wufei.
"Thanks, Wu-chan..!"
"Hn... if you hear Yuy coming, I'm moving..."
Duo nodded, "gotcha..."
"Wow, the scandel..." Trowa commented, as he leaned against the doorframe of the den. A small smirk on his face, seeing Wufei willingly sit so close to Duo.
"Not a word, Barton..." Wufei said, calmly. Trowa shrugged, then glanced at Duo.
"Hilde's looking for you..."
Duo blinked, "why?"
"Isn't it obvious..? 'Ooh, Duo... I love your big, pretty eyes... your laugh, your braid... I wanna be near you always..!" Trowa said, in a painfully familiar kind of tone.
"Whoa, flashback! Stop talkin, Tro-kun!" Duo yelped, covering his ears.
Wufei grinned, "Trowa le Peau[2]..." That sent Wufei over. He started laughing hysterically at the memory. Trowa blushed, faintly.
"Shut up, Wufei..."
"There a reason you just finished saying all of that to Duo, Trowa...?" a cold voice asked. Trowa gulped and turned around, "heh... hi Heero," he said, nervously.
"Don't start, Yuy..." Wufei said, grimacing. Heero shifted his cold gaze towards Wufei, who was sitting a little too close to Duo. Wufei blinked, then started to fidget under the intense glare.
Duo looked confused, "what's goin on?" he asked.
Heero smiled faintly at Duo, "Duo, may I speak to these two, alone..?"
Duo raised an eyebrow, "you wanna hit on them?"
All three of the pilots' eyebrows shot up, "WHAAT!?"
"Kidding!" Duo said, he got up and started to laugh. "... Shoulda seen your faces..." he managed to choke out as he strolled out, still shivering a bit.
"That boy has issues..." Trowa commented. Then he remembered Heero was right there. "Uhhhhh, in a good way..!" he added, hastily.
"Hn..."
"What do you want, Yuy..?"
"I need you both to do me a favor..."
Trowa and Wufei glanced at each other. Then turned back to Heero, "what kinda favor?" they asked in unison.
"I'm going to go find Relena..."
"There a reason why?" Trowa asked.
"Yes..."
"Which would be..?" Wufei pressed.
"I'm going to kill her..."
"CAN I GO!?" both of the other pilots asked, eagerly.
Heero smirked, wryly, "no..."
"Damn..." they both muttered.
"This is where your favor comes in... I really don't trust Hilde... I trust Duo, but Hilde's a completely different story... so, if you don't mind..?"
"You want us to spy on 'your' Duo..." Wufei asked, with a raised eyebrow, then he scowled. "I'm not doing such a thing!"
Trowa frowned, slightly, "if you trust Duo, there's nothing to worry about..." he pointed out.
"True... but Hilde doesn't strike me as the trust-worthy type... anyways, I want you to keep an eye on Hilde, that's all..." Heero explained.
"And if she's doing anything..?" Trowa asked.
"Anything..?" Wufei echoed, confused.
"Funny business..." Trowa explained.
"Oh..."
"Kill her..." Heero said, simply.
"WHAAT!?" both of the other pilots yelped.
Heero smirked, "gotcha..." then he turned and walked out of the den. Trowa and Wufei glanced at each other, uncertainly. It was kind of hard to tell if he really was joking or not. Then Wufei suddenly had a thought, so he raced to the door.
"Wait! How long you gonna be!?" he hollered after him.
"Long enough..." Heero called back, then he went to his room. His bedroom door closed with a click, which seemed to be sealing Trowa and Wufei's fate.
"I don't believe it..." Wufei said, with a shake of his head.
"Me either..." Trowa said, slowly. "Who knew Heero had a sense of humor..?"
Wufei rolled his eyes. Trowa smirked, then sighed.
"Guess we better get started..."
"We aren't baby-sitters, Barton..."
"True... we're spies..." Trowa said, with a light grin. Then he grabbed Wufei's shirt and dragged him along.
"KISAMA! I'M NOT DOING THIS!" Wufei snapped.
"It's your chance to watch 'Maxwell', Wufei... why complain?" Trowa asked, his grin slowly becoming a taunting smirk.
"Don't start..." Wufei spat. Then his face fell, suddenly getting another thought. "What about Winner?"
Trowa blinked, "what about him?"
Wufei frowned, "I don't think he'll really approve of us spying on Duo for Yuy's sake..."
The green-eyed pilot looked mildly amused.
"What?" Wufei asked, suspiciously.
"You're starting to call him 'Duo' more than 'Maxwell'," Trowa pointed out.
"What part of 'don't start', don't you understand?" Wufei growled. Trowa snickered, and ran down the hall, Wufei on his heels.
"Just out of curiousity..." Trowa called, as he ran.
"What?" Wufei snapped, as he grabbed an apple from the fruitbowl as they ran through the kitchen. Then he hurled it at Trowa. The acrobat easily veered left, dodging the apple, and darted back down the hall.
"How will we go about all this?" he asked.
"Go about what?" Wufei asked, looking for something else to throw.
"How will we go about keeping Hilde from Duo?" Trowa asked, then dodged the Nerf ball[2] Wufei suddenly scooped up from the floor(and threw). Again, Trowa dodged, by turning and running into the livingroom.
Wufei smirked, "you can be seductive, again."
Trowa glanced back at him, gaping in shock "WHAAT?!" Then he ran into the sofa, thus flipping over it. "WHOA!" and landed with a pleasant THUMP on the other side. Wufei strolled over, looking over at him, still smirking.
"Well?"
"You have any idea how many more appointments with the therapist I'll need, if I go and try to seduce Duo, again?" Trowa asked, looking up at him, completely deadpan. Then he narrowed his eyes at the younger pilot, "unless you want me to get killed..."
"No, of course not... you are a comrade..." Wufei said with a shrug, then his smirk returned. "It'll make things easier on us, if Hilde thinks you're after Duo..."
"We..!"
Wufei raised an eyebrow, "we?"
"Yes, 'we'! I'm not gonna face Heero alone, when he gets back..."
"So... you agree..?"
"Only if you're involved, too..." Trowa replied. Then he stood up. Both pilots tried to stare each other down. Into submission.
Finally, Wufei sighed, and held out his hand, "very well..." he agreed. Trowa smirked, and shook his hand.
"We'll both do our best in keeping Hilde away from Duo..." he said, wryly.
"... By continually interrupting them, and putting the moves on Duo..." Wufei added, with a solemn nod. But he was smirking, ruefully.
Trowa grinned, slightly, "you're still callin him 'Duo'... more than 'Maxwell'..." then he turned and ran. "Wait till Heero hears!"
"KISAMA! BARTON!" Wufei instantly took chase, again.
***
Hilde sighed. Who knew good-byes took so long? She glanced at them again, not really believing that it was Heero standing shyly in front of Duo, trying to say good-bye.
"Yeah... no problem, Hee-chan..." Duo was saying, cheerfully, "just try not to forget me, huh?"
"I would never..." Heero said, softly. Then in a rather timid manner, he gently kissed Duo on the lips. Duo blinked, then smiled. Heero smiled, glad for the approval. Then he took up his backpack, and walked out the front door.
Hilde pursed her lips, then bounded up to Duo, who was waving good- bye, "see you later, Hee-chan..."
"So... where's he off to?" she asked, curiously.
"To find Relena..." Duo answered, with a shrug.
"Ummm, why?"
Duo smirked, in a devillish manner, "to kill her..."
Hilde grimaced inwardly. Well, that couldn't be good. She would have to warn Relena later. "Umm, Duo... you think you could give me a tour of the place?" she asked, shyly. Duo blinked again, looking adorably confused.
"But you already know the layout, the way you keep walking from place to place..."
"I mean outside..." without waiting for his reply, Hilde grabbed Duo's arm and dragged him outside.
"But, I..." Duo started to protest. Too late. Then he remembered Hilde was never one to take "no" for an answer.
***
"Will you stop that!?" Wufei hissed. Trowa smirked, slightly.
"Flat tire..." he said, simply. He kept accidentally stepping on the back of Wufei's shoe. Unfortunately Wufei thought he was doing it on purpose. So, Trowa started pretending he was.
Wufei narrowed his onyx black eyes at the taller pilot, "you think you're funny, don't you?" he asked, sarcastically.
"Why yes, I do..." Trowa said, shortly. Then he turned back to the scene.
"I feel like an idiot..." Wufei grumbled, as he stooped over, watching Hilde carefully.
"Oh Duo! It's so beautiful!" she gushed, as she gazed up at the cherry blossoms.
"Yeah... count on Cat to have cherry trees around here... it gets even better later in the season..." Duo told her.
"I'll take your word for it..." Hilde said, smiling brightly at the braided boy. Then she stepped up to him, gazing up at him, shyly. "Umm, Duo... there's something I've been meaning to tell you..."
Trowa glanced at his companion, "now?"
Wufei frowned, and shook his head.
"But... like you always taught me... actions speak louder than words..." Hilde went on. Duo tilted his head.
"What's up, Hilde?"
"Duo..." she whispered, and her lips were now less than two inches away from his mouth.
"Now..?" Trowa asked.
Wufei shook his head, again.
Duo frowned slightly, okay this was weird. Hilde was hitting on him? Or what? Hilde grabbed Duo's shoulders, and pulled herself up on her toes... so close...
"Now?" Trowa asked, nervous about Heero's reaction if he ever found out about this.
"Now..." Wufei confirmed. "Go in..."
Trowa sighed. Why did he always have to be the guy to...? Never mind that... he had a job to do. With a defeated slump in his shoulders, Trowa straightened up, and walked over. Then he sped up to a jog, then a run. Then finally it became a full-on sprint. And since Trowa's legs were long, he was unrealistically fast while running.
"DUO!" he yelled.
"Huh?" Duo blinked in surprise. Then he was tackled to the ground. "ACK!" Groggily, he opened his eyes, staring into dark green eyes. "Tro-kun..?" he mumbled, his head aching slightly from hitting the ground.
Trowa rested his nose on Duo's gently, "I've been looking for you..." he murmured, in a dangerously familiar kind of tone.
"Trowa..?" Duo said, slowly, cautiously.
All Hilde could do was stare at the scene. Trowa straddling Duo, looking about ready to kiss him! "WHAT'RE YOU DOING!?" Hilde shouted. Trowa sat up, giving Hilde a slightly annoyed, if not confused, look.
"What?" he asked, dryly.
Duo propped himself up on his elbows, and watched Trowa for a moment, "what can I do for you, Trowa?"
Trowa smirked at him, "wouldn't you like to know..? But I can't tell you in front of a lady..."
Duo suddenly blushed at the seductive tone Trowa's voice took on. "You better not start all that again!"
"Start all what again, Duo?"
"Exactly what I was wondering..!" Hilde spat. Duo was two-timing Heero! With Trowa!? Wait. Wasn't she supposed to be getting Duo away from Heero? But... if Duo had a secret relationship with Trowa, then Heero was a victim..? Hilde bit her lip, feeling a small twinge of sympathy towards Wing's pilot. But she quickly pushed it down. No, she had a job to do!
"I think I'll leave you two alone.. since that's what you're so eager for..!" Hilde snapped. She whirled around on her heel, and stormed away.
"Hilde! Wait!" she heard Duo yell. "Oh great! You got her mad at me!"
Hilde smiled in satisfaction.
"Why do you care?" Trowa asked, sounding confused.
"I don't like having people mad at me, you know that..!" Duo retorted. Hilde's face fell, then she released a low growl, and stormed on. The nerve!
Then Wufei appeared, "where's Trowa?" he asked, not bothering to say her name. But at least he didn't refer to her as 'woman' or 'onna'.
"Back there, with Duo..." she snapped.
"Someone's moody..." Wufei muttered, then he smirked, "PMS?" Hilde glared at him. But Wufei grew a slight immunity to glares, since they all paled in comparison to a certain pilot's 'DeathGlare'.
"Where are they?" he asked, shortly.
"By the cherry tree..." she grumbled. Wufei raised an eyebrow.
"Oh... they're starting without me..?" with that, Wufei turned, and walked more briskly towards the direction Hilde came from. Hilde gaped after him. A threesome!? A THREESOME!? Between Duo, Trowa and Wufei!? Who knew Trowa and Wufei were like that! Poor Heero!
"No! No poor Heero!" Hilde told herself, sternly. "He's keeping you away from Duo!" she paused, quirking an eyebrow, "and so are Trowa and Wufei now, apparently..." she bit her lip. Things were getting complicated. And Relena said all she had to concern herself with, was Heero Yuy?
"I can do this..! I can still do this!" she said, with a firm nod. At least, she hoped she could.

Heero narrowed his eyes, as he crept up to Hilde with great stealth. Within a few seconds, he was directly behind her. He smirked devillishly and raised the vase over his head, ready to bring it down on Hilde's head.
"HEERO!" Quatre cried.
Hilde whirled around, just as Heero lowered the vase and hid it behind his back. He turned around to see the Arabian standing in the livingroom's entrance, tapping his foot.
"What's going on?" Hilde asked, nervously.
Heero pursed his lips, giving the younger a boy an innocent look, "what?" he asked, with a tone that rivalled Quatre's kind nature.
"Step away..." Quatre ordered.

"Heero..."
"No, Quatre... I..."

"I was just..."
"Heero..!"
With a sigh of defeat, Heero walked up to Quatre and the livingroom's entrance.
"... Hand it over..." Quatre said, calmly.
"Hand over what..?"
"Heero."
Grimacing, the Japanese pilot handed the younger boy the vase.
"And the paperweight..."
Heero sighed again, as he pulled out the heavy piece of glass from his jacket pocket and handed it over, as well. Quatre nodded, permitting Heero leave, who did, looking rather glum. Hilde just stared, not really understanding what just happened.

All Hilde could do was stare at the scene. Trowa straddling Duo, looking about ready to kiss him! "WHAT'RE YOU DOING!?" Hilde shouted. Trowa sat up, giving Hilde a slightly annoyed, if not confused, look.
"What?" he asked, dryly.
Duo propped himself up on his elbows, and watched Trowa for a moment, "what can I do for you, Trowa?"
Trowa smirked at him, "wouldn't you like to know..? But I can't tell you in front of a lady..."
Duo suddenly blushed at the seductive tone Trowa's voice took on. "You better not start all that again!"
"Start all what again, Duo?"
"Exactly what I was wondering..!" Hilde spat. Duo was two-timing Heero! With Trowa!? Wait. Wasn't she supposed to be getting Duo away from Heero? But... if Duo had a secret relationship with Trowa, then Heero was a victim..? Hilde bit her lip, feeling a small twinge of sympathy towards Wing's pilot. But she quickly pushed it down. No, she had a job to do!
"I think I'll leave you two alone.. since that's what you're so eager for..!" Hilde snapped. She whirled around on her heel, and stormed away.
"Hilde! Wait!" she heard Duo yell. "Oh great! You got her mad at me!"
Hilde smiled in satisfaction.
"Why do you care?" Trowa asked, sounding confused.
"I don't like having people mad at me, you know that..!" Duo retorted. Hilde's face fell, then she released a low growl, and stormed on. The nerve!
Then Wufei appeared, "where's Trowa?" he asked, not bothering to say her name. But at least he didn't refer to her as 'woman' or 'onna'.
"Back there, with Duo..." she snapped.
"Someone's moody..." Wufei muttered, then he smirked, "PMS?" Hilde glared at him. But Wufei grew a slight immunity to glares, since they all paled in comparison to a certain pilot's 'DeathGlare'.
"Where are they?" he asked, shortly.
"By the cherry tree..." she grumbled. Wufei raised an eyebrow.
"Oh... they're starting without me..?" with that, Wufei turned, and walked more briskly towards the direction Hilde came from. Hilde gaped after him. A threesome!? A THREESOME!? Between Duo, Trowa and Wufei!? Who knew Trowa and Wufei were like that! Poor Heero!
"No! No poor Heero!" Hilde told herself, sternly. "He's keeping you away from Duo!" she paused, quirking an eyebrow, "and so are Trowa and Wufei now, apparently..." she bit her lip. Things were getting complicated. And Relena said all she had to concern herself with, was Heero Yuy?
"I can do this..! I can still do this!" she said, with a firm nod. At least, she hoped she could.
