"In The Stars" Chapter 12

Wufei felt the slight chill in the night air as he laid on his stomach on Treize's large king size bed. A pillow rested under his chest helping to prop him up as Treize lay on his back beside the smaller man. It felt weird to be there yet he couldn't help but smile.

"So have you decided what you want for Christmas?" Treize asked glancing over into Wufei's dark eyes.

"Not really, what about you," Wufei answered nibbling on his lower lip.

"You with just a bow on would be nice," Treize remarked with a straight face.

"What!" Wufei balked while blushing at the very idea.

"Kidding," Treize answered with a laugh.

"You... you're unbelievable," Wufei huffed using the pillow under him as a weapon to hit Treize with.

The older man caught it pulling Wufei closer to him. "You know this bed is plenty big enough for two, if not three or four," Treize said a smile in his voice.

"I don't know where you're going to find these three other people so late at night," Wufei replied with a smirk.

"Now whose being rotten," Treize replied pulling Wufei even closer.

"Turnabouts fair play," Wufei answered with a snicker.

"In all seriousness though," Treize said his fingers gently rubbing against Wufei's clothes covered spine.

"Would you dance with me, if I asked?" Wufei said instead of answering the question.

Treize looked at him a moment before sliding free and getting out of the bed. He walked over to the stereo, his bare feet padded by the carpet. He hit the play button before returning to the bed and offering his hand out to Wufei. The dark haired man took it slowly as the song started to emit from the speakers. Treize easily pulled him from the bed into his arms. They began to circle lazily as words started to filter through the music.

//If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you//

"So why do you suddenly want to dance?" Treize asked his arm weaving securely around Wufei's slender waist.

"Because I'd be able to say no," Wufei answered his face buried in Treize's chest.

"I understand if you're not ready, it was just a thought," Treize replied gently.

//If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you//

"I don't know if I'll ever be able to," Wufei whispered feeling the rise and fall of Treize's chest against his cheek.

"We will just give it time, let things go as they will," Treize said with a sigh, his hand running soothing circles across Wufei's back.

"Time... I hope we have that."

//And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
You're all I need
My love
My valentine//

"I think we have lots of it," Treize offered.

"Does Milliardo know where you live?" Wufei asked suddenly, pulling back to look at the older man.

"What does that matter?" Treize asked surprised.

"He could come here, he's not just going to give up," Wufei said removing himself from Treize's arms.

"Duo seems to think he's got the message."

"Well Duo can be an idiot too!" Wufei huffed. "What will you do if he does show up here one day?"

"I don't know, never really thought about it before."

//All of my life
I have been waiting for all you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And shown me how to love unselfishly//

"Well maybe you should, he isn't going to stop trying to take you for himself," Wufei growled. "I mean he put me in the hospital to get me out of his way. He's not going to give up cause of one little setback."

"I thought I made it pretty clear I wasn't interested," Treize said taking a step closer to Wufei.

"He doesn't care if you are interested or not, he refuses to lose," Wufei said steeping even further away. "I'm gonna go to my room now, I don't really want to argue over him." Wufei turned and left before Treize could say another word.

//I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
And in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time
You're all that I need
My love
My valentine//

Wufei sagged against the back of his closed door. He didn't know why he was picking this fight. Deep inside he was just overly worried of losing the man who had come to mean so much to him, to someone else. He just didn't know how to trust, Treize or himself. He could still hear the song coming from Treize's room, and it made him itch to go back and apologize. Apologize for bringing up that vile man and hiding behind him. After a long sigh he knew he had no other choice, his mind refused to let him think about anything else. He quietly pulled his door open to see no light coming from Treize's room.

//And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time//

He ducked into the room, his eyes adjusting quickly. Treize was lying on his side on the large bed, most of it empty space. Inching closer he could hear the man's breathing, he wasn't asleep. Climbing on the bed he must have surprised him as Treize quickly turned over.

Wufei laid half on, half off Treize, his head resting against the solid chest. "I'm sorry; he just... gets to me when I think about how manipulative he can be."

Treize's arms came up to wrap securely around Wufei's back. "You are all I need," Treize mimicked the ending song.

//Cause all I need
Is you my valentine
You're all I need
My love
My valentine//

Wufei found himself snuggling deeper into Treize's embrace. "You're right; this bed could hold at least four."

"I only want one companion."

"Good," Wufei yawned using Treize's chest as his pillow before he fell sound asleep listening to the older man's heart beat in his ear.
