A/N: Yup, it was hard deciding on where to take the story from Duo and Heero's little get together.
Pairings: The only official pairing at this time is 1x2.There's also some 3x4 goodness in here too. More pairings later on.....
The standard disclaimers apply. There will be lemon in this chappy, because I know how everyone loves seeing our favorite bishouen roll around in the hay........
Chapter 9
"How could he do this to me!?" Alex rolled his eyes as he dodged a flying brush, the first object to be in the path of Relena's rage. He wondered to himself how he ended up watching over someone so un lady like. Here was the princess of an empire of darkness....... having a TANTRUM like a four year old! He sighed as he watched her push a medium sized sculpture of herself off the table it sat upon and on to the floor. The sculpture shattered into several large chunks (and at least a thousand smaller ones), which flew across the floor in various directions. Alex pitied the sculpture.
"Relena........ I thought your brother warned you about this...." She stopped in her acts of destruction to glare balefully at Alex who in turn glared back.
"Your too damn mouthy for your own GOOD Alex." she spat. She then threw herself of the bed and proceeded to sob. Alex sighed once again.
"Alex it's all over the damn school!" she whined. Alex went over to one of the cabinets and pulled out a bottle of brandy and two glasses. He smirked to himself at the thought of what Zechs would say about giving his sister alcohol. He then shrugged off his better sense and figured it would do her some good. He sat beside Relena's trembling form and poured her a glass of the drink.
"And to think I, lost to a guy! He chose another GUY over me!" She began wailing as her voice broke on the last sentence. Alex gritted his teeth in an attempt not to strike her. Her wailing, and crying, and moaning, and bitching, was REALLY grating on his nerves.
That made him think. I mean he was pretty sure that if he was a girl he'd be pissed that "her" crush had taken another guy over "her". But things are different these days so........
He too had lost someone in the horrible news Relena had brought from school. He had lost any chance of EVER being with Duo. What was worse was that he'd lost to Heero, Metrian, whatever the hell he goes by now. He despised "Heero", how he always got what he wanted with no consequence, how he was the leader of Zechs army instead of him, how even when he screwed up........he was still praised and held up for all to envy. It sickened him. What was worse was that he was such a bastard that he didn't even realize how favored he was in the eyes of Zechs. But Lord knows he wasn't taking the news as badly as Relena was. If anything he took it all in stride. It's not as if he was in love with Duo or anything but he did favor him in a way. Alas they were not meant to be..........oh well..........life goes on right?
"Here, take this." She lifted her head up to see what he was offering her and sniffled as she took the glass. She sniffed it curiously and raised the glass to the light as if examining it for poison.
"OH for Chrissakes! JESUS Relena...." Anthony smacked his palm against his forehead. She looked at him, her eyes narrowing into slits.
"Alcohol Anthony? Are you trying to fucken kill me?"
"You can't be serious! You think I'm trying to poison you?" She glared at him as her eyes filled with tears once again.
"Well the rest of the world is out to get me! What makes you any different?!" She cried dramatically as she threw the glass to the floor and began weeping into the bed spread again. /What the hell is wrong with her?/
"Oh God Re- Relena c'mon! Why'd you have to throw the damned glass? Shit's gonna take weeks to clean up....." Alex took a deep breath and then breathed out.
"Relena I'm gonna say this one last time, ok? Are you listening sweety?" He stood up and moved out of her throwing range.
"Heero Yuy doesn't want you! He has better things to do than cater to your needy little whims." He half expected for her to throw the lamp at him as she raised her head but she just sat up and wiped her face of her tears.
"Your right Anthony! Heero can't possibly give me what I need!" He nodded. /Well that's quite good. I should be a consultant of some kind..../
"And for that I shall make him suffer!" Anthony shook his head. He was hoping he could make her just forget about the whole thing for the meantime but obviously not. Relena was a determined girl...........he'd give her that. She could be bratty and childish at times but she really was coming into her own, becoming a lady. Really she was.....
"But right now Anthony.........." She shifted her gaze to the side as she ran her finger along the edge of the wall, approaching him.
"I need a real man. Can you be that for........... let's say the next 30 minutes?" She stopped in front of him, putting all of her charm on as she grabbed the scruff of his shirt. He grinned lopsidedly.
"Of course." HE made a move to kiss her but was quite surprised as he felt the palm of Relena's hand whip across his cheek roughly.
"What the fuck was that for?" She turned away from him and headed towards her living room quarters.
"PIG! How DARE you speak that way to me!" she spat. Alex nursed his offended cheek as he scowled at her from his place in the bedroom.
Relena rummaged through her drawers in search of something and cursed to herself as the chances of finding it became smaller and smaller.
"You're a real bitch, know that?" She glared at Alex over her shoulder.
"And you are a shameless pedophile." She shot back over her shoulder before continuing to rummage through her drawer.
"Ah found it!" She smiled in satisfaction as she lifted the desired object from her drawer, with as much care as you would deliver a newborn infant to it's mother. Alex came to stand beside her (still holding his abused cheek) as he stared over her shoulder, gazing curiously at the small book she held in her hands. She whirled around to walk over and sit in a huge arm chair. Flipping through the book.
"What is it?" She gave him the 'look'.
"What does it look like?" He made as gesture as if telling her 'does it look like I know'. She rolled her eyes and sucked her teeth.
"It's a book of witchcraft, you idiot."
"Ouch." She flipped through the book and stopped on an index page with a list of numbers and such. She smiled.
"Not to mention my address and phone book."
"Uh-huh.... And what, may I ask, are you planning to do with this book, Relena sweety?" She glared at him.
"Stop calling me that. Plus it's none of your business." She licked her thumb and continued flipping through the book.
"Amuse yourself somewhere, go frolic." She raised her hand and made a shooing gesture, still not looking up from the book. He made a face at her as he turned towards the door, mumbling the whole way.
"Go frolic she says...." He wrinkled his face in distaste, mocking Relena's voice the whole way to the door and down the sidewalk.
(X)(x)(X)
I hit the wall behind me with an 'oomph' and chuckled a bit. Both of my arms were pinned on either side of my head against the wall.
"Heero be gentle, I bruise easily ya' know." Heero pressed his body against mines and growled against my lips.
"Want you....." I touched my lips to his in brief little kisses. However brief they still set my soul on fire. He responded accordingly as his hands traveled over my chest and under my shirt. I moaned against his lips and tried to move my arms, but to no avail. These random fits of passion were the only excuse we had for making out in some alley in the middle of Manhattan somewhere. I tried my best to pull away from the kiss to avoid it becoming anything more.
"Not here you don't." I slipped out of his grasp and adjusted my clothing, walking onto the sidewalk and out of the alley. I raised my hand to my eyes as the bright daylight assaulted my vision. I noticed that Heero was standing next to me, with his hands in his pockets. Some mihgt say he looked irritated but I didn't think so. He should be though. Everytime we did something like this we would go no further. I guess it was unfair to him but lately the last thing I wanted to do was have sex.
"You love doing that don't you?" He raised his eyebrow a bit as he eyed be from the corner of his eye.
"Do what?" I rocked back and forth on my heels grinning like a maniac.
"Teasing." I put an arm around his shoulder and grabbed him by the chin. I turned his head to face me and brought my hand to his cheek.
"Only you Heero, only you." I gave him my most charming smile and laughed as he shook his head free of my grasp. He put his hands in his pockets and began walking.
"Hey where you going?" He eyed me over his shoulders and smirked.
"Baka we'll be late, you know Quatre won't be pleased if we miss this." I nodded and walked to his side.
"No, I imagine he wouldn't be....." It was Quatre's birthday and he was throwing this HUGE party at ONE of his houses on the LI. Notice how I emphasize ONE, as in he has even more houses. Can anyone be more luckier than Q to be born into a rich family? I mean he is blessed and the thing about it is that Q doesn't squander his money. Any extra money that his dad or sisters send him goes straight into the bank. I sometimes wonder how much he's saved up already. I don't even think he uses that much on furnishing his apartment. He says that he prefers to live comfortably so he only needs a few assets. He doesn't care to be home much anyways.
But then again....... it must suck never seeing your father because he has more important things to do than tend to his own damn kids. That sucks....... I know I'd probably hate my dad if he did that to me. But Q has always been a nice guy. Not nice as in he'll give you his car because your less "fortunate" or something but he's nice. He doesn't let people walk all over him.
Heero's car was at the shop so we had to go pick it up and head out to Port Washington to help Quatre set up. I imagine Trowa was already there seeing as how Quatre had needed a companion to accompany him on the drive out to the house, so he says...... I wonder what they're doing out there? But it's not my business is it? I don't think their doing anything though.... Quatre has been kind of down lately and their not as close as they used to be. Like something isn't there. He won't go into detail but he says Trowa's been a bit distant lately.
I look at Heero out the corner of my eye and smile. He's been peaceful the last few days. And if he's peaceful, it helps me be a bit more peaceful. I have done my job! I continue to examine Heero as we walk and then a thought comes to mind.
"Heero, why don't you ever brush your hair?" He stops and gives me the most hilarious look I've seen in a while. One of his eyebrows is quirked and his eyes are wide. IT looks kinda cute on him actually. Makes him seem more well.... easy going and carefree. OF course I laugh. I think he's just staring at me with that same look as I'm practically rolling around on the floor in uncontrollable laughter. Heero has a VERY unruly mop of hair!
"Nani?" I stop laughing and blink.
"What?" He smirks.
"Yea that is what the word means." He says matter of factly as he rolls his eyes.
"NO I mean 'what' as in what the hell did you just say, speak English please." I give him a pointed look and he gestures for us to keep walking, in a way that makes me think he's going to tell me a story of ancient prophets and what not, just like in the samurai movies.
"You know I'm kinda old but we never discussed it really, have we?" I frowned and shook my head.
"To be honest I had kinda forgotten until you mentioned it just now."
"Hn." He nods.
"I've been alive a while Duo and have traveled a lot." He sighs as if about to reveal some shocking revelation or cruel past. I nod to let him know I'm listening at the same time praying he doesn't say something creepy like "I am your father." or anything equally disturbing. That would really just........ I don't even know what I'd do! I'd probably just stand there and then you would see my eyes fall out just before my head falls off along with an arm and I'd probably just slowly disassemble and fall into a heap of body parts and DIE. I mean that's just nuts!
"Duo are you even listening?" I smile sheepishly.
"Sorry about that, go on." He fixes me with a stern look, telling me that I definitely need to listen. The wind blows a bit, messing with strands of my hair.
"Being that I've traveled a lot, I know a couple of languages here and there. Nothing that I speak fluently though. I spent a large part of my life living in Egypt and then later traveled through Arabia and then settled in Japan for a long time......"
"I know there's a lot I don't know about you Heero. You could've been some teenage terrorist in another time for all I know." I earn a small smirk from that.
"I also have a feeling that there's things I'd be better off not knowing as well as things you can't tell me. It's okay though, maybe it's best to stick with the basics , ya kno? How ever I would love to know everything about you....." He nods as if accepting this. It's quiet for a while, the only noises filling in the silence being the distant chant on the Manhattan traffic and our footsteps. December is an okay month, except for the fact that it's cold. I blow out my breath and enjoy watching it drift off in little clusters of cloud. When I was little I used to pretend I had horns and run around blowing air out my nose outside going "I'm a dragon!" my mom would always chuckle and shake her head at me. Those were the good old days. When my homework was 12=3 and I wasn't worrying about thousand year old vampires trying to steal me away in the night. That was another thing. Would Heero ever try to steal me away from my home, just as my father and many other vampires had done to human girls? I didn't think he would. Personally I felt that practice was kind of old fashioned and Heero didn't seem like the 'old world' vampire type.
"You still didn't answer my question."
"Hm?"
"Why don't you ever brush your hair?" The corners of his mouth tugged up in a small smile.
"Baka, of course I brush my hair." He looked at me out the corner of his eye as he spoke.
"Why don't you ever cut your hair?" I blinked in surprise as he seemed quite amused by my obvious disturbance at the thought of cutting my hair. Cutting my hair? Why the hell should I cut it? I asked him so.
"Why shouldn't you?" I waved my hands around and raised my forefinger, stopping right in front of him.
"Wait just a minute, last time I checked you liked my hair." I batted my eyelashes coyly at him and he seemed to think on this. He seemed to think on this before threading his hands through my hair and pulling me towards him. Our noses were inches away as I blinked at him, startled.
"Your right. I do." HE gave me a sly smile before releasing me and continuing his walk. I stood there frozen for a minute before jogging to catch up with him. I cleared my throat a bit. He did the strangest things sometimes. Heero Yuy was the hardest jigsaw puzzle I'd ever piece together. If I unlocked all his secrets I would be the champion all jig saw puzzle fans! So I imagined anyway................
"Yeah so anyways......." His face suddenly got serious as he turned his head to look at me.
"We haven't said anything about that incident that took place at your apartment." I made a face as I recalled the incident. I looked out onto the street avoiding his gaze. The thought of being some kind of magic wielding oddity, didn't appeal to me one bit. Basically I had tried to blot the incident from my mind. I don't even know how I did it. It just happened. What if there is something wrong with me?
"It never happened." I scowled a bit as I brushed past him. Heero suddenly was by my side again, keeping up with my swift steps.
"Do you think me odd because of my...abilities?" He had to stop to think of a word to describe the things he could do. I sighed.
"No-" He looked at me pointedly.
"Then why do you think yourself odd?" Was he reading my mind or something? I thought about that, which was something I hadn't really bothered to do since the whole thing happened. What did I do that night? Maybe what Heero had done had been some cheap parlor trick and I was wracking my brain for nothing. It sure as hell seemed real though. Who am I fooling? I KNOW it was real, but I can't accept the fact that something like that could exist in me.
"Whether are not you want to admit it Duo, you are in some way unique among your peers." I looked at him.
"How would you know?" He smirked.
"I know because of your aura, everything about you screams unique and different. ESPECIALLY the color of your eyes, amethyst....." I widened my eyes at him. It was true that no one else I knew had that eye color. NO one in my family even had that color in your eyes. All my life everyone would tell me how beautiful my eyes were and it never occurred to me WHY they were 'beautiful'. It's because their the color of an amethyst stone.....
"You have a gift Duo and I want to teach you how to use it. You have the gift of craft so why not embrace the idea." I quirked an eyebrow, giving him and odd look.
"Since when did you become so optimistic, last I checked you were quite the little pessimist." He glared.
"Are you going to let me teach you or not?" You know what this reminded me of? A nice...................BIG............FAT......................
DRAGON BALL Z moment! When Gohan's powers were first awakened he was in a situation he quote on quote: "had no control of". Once when his father was endangered and then twice when Piccolo decided to throw him into a mountain or something of that elk while teaching him. Now I'm pretty sure I was no where in the category of a Z fighter so I wasn't going to let myself be carried away on that little tangent. Why I'm even giving you the story of Gohan's childhood is a mystery in itself. I looked at him.
"As long as you don't use any psycho teaching methods I'm ok with it." He shook his head and smirked. The thought of Heero throwing me into a mountain flashed through my head and I shook it off.
"If teachers weren't psycho, how else would we learn?" He said witha sort of gleam in his eye. I just had a nice anime sweatdrop moment. That was weird..............
We continued our walk until Heero once again stopped me right before what looked like the car garage.
"Ok Duo, try your best to relax because this guy is a real nut job. Got it?" I grinned.
"Oi, Hee-chan, nut jobs are my specialty!" I winked suggestively at him and snickered as Heero caught me in the middle of my perverted travels. He rolled his eyes.
"Don't we all know......."
(X)(x)(X)
As we walked in the main office of the garage it was quite a mess. As usual. J specialized in potions and electronics, always fiddling with something or the other. He was a very old wizard and even a mage in his younger days. He worked with many different crafts also, but was not a craft user. Of course he didn't keep his craft lab in the open. Craft was quite frowned upon these days and at some point in time there was a great massacre as all the craft users in the land were hunted down and killed. Thanks to my work in Zechs organization I was hidden but this is the reason I was so surprised to see that Duo possessed these powers. He's strange........ Anyway the old man was smart even if a bit off his rocker. Which is saying something because I usually prefer not to use such terms. I heard Duo's awed mutterings behind me and smirked. He had a fascination with electronics so it must have been a surprise to see all gadgets and trinkets in their skeletal forms. Taken apart for the world to see.
"Interesting..."
I looked up to the doorway from the lot as J walked in. He must have been in his lab. He was in his usual disheveld state, raggedy looking lab coat with a khaki shirt and matching pants. Wrinkles from head to tow. Sometimes I wondered if the old guy even slept.
"Hello Heero how are you this fine evening?" I gave him a stern look.
"Enough with the pleasantries J-" I stopped as I noticed him not paying attention to me and followed his gaze to a very disturbed Duo. He raised his eyebrows well over his very odd looking specs and grinned lecherously.
"Why... who is this delectable looking creature behind you?" He was by Duo's side in an instant, arms over his shoulder taking Duo's hand in his. Duo looked at him, disgusted and shoved J off, with great difficulty might I add.
"ACK! Back off old man!" J blinked, well he would have if he had actual eyes, in confusion.
"Hey Heero does she have a cold? Her voice is quite deep, don't you say?" I could practically feel Duo seething beside me and sighed.
"I'm not a girl ya NUTTY ol geezer!" I put a hand on Duo's shoulder to stop him from furthering his rambling.
"Duo, he's very old and his sight is starting to fail him, it's not his fault that he thought you were a girl." Duo crossed his arms and sniffed as if truly hurt. I could here J mumbling to himself
"Last time I checked I could see just fine, he'd know that if he bothered to check up on an old man once in a while, little bastard....." I chose to move on to the matter at hand.
"J, where the hell is my damn car?" I had very little patience for his antics today and was hoping to make it out to Port Washington, sometime soon. He recovered from his temporary shock at the fact that Duo was indeed a guy and began rambling.
"You young people are so impatient these days!" He put started rummaging through his tool box.
"Back in the days of Napoleon, young vampires were more courteous, but now your all into this 'hey look at me, I'm a bat in the night' business. What's all that about? Here you are, only been one minute and your already demanding where your car is, instead of asking me "hey j, how's your day? I bought you a piece of that cake you like.' Ungrateful little whipper snappers, driving me crazy why I.........."I growled in frustration rubbing my temples tiredly. I could here Duo whistling to himself, barely making out his muttered commentary.
"Can you say psycho..........." J finally pulled a set of keys out of the chest and tossed them to me. "I made some adjustments to your car, you un classy little bastard." I crossed my arms and smirked.
"See ya later J." I headed towards the door to retrieve my car from the lot after giving him a one finger salute.
"Thanks for the help old man!" Duo waved from behind me, still keeping his distance as if J was some foreign object of some kind.
On our way out I hear a voice call out Duo's name. Duo and I look up and see a small girl running towards us, her long black hair flying behind her. She waves enthusiastically and mock bows slightly.
"Hey Duo, what you up to these days?" Duo grins and I can only wonder who this girl is. She look familiar.......
"Nothing, just the usual stuff, ya know? This is Hee- chan though you should just call him Heero." She looks at me and extends her hand enthusiastically.
"The names Ray.... hey you're the dude who was with Duo at the club right?" As I touch her hand I feel a small spark and a shock runs through my arm. She quickly snatches her hand back and I can see that she felt it to. She narrows her cat like eyes at me distrustfully and I glare slightly feeling that I have an instant disliking of this girl.
"Hey guys, everything cool?" She snaps out of her trance and nods at Duo.
"Of course. Well it seems you guys are going somewhere so........" She look around boredly, trying to avoid eye contact with me.
"Why don't you come with us. A friend of mines is having a party, you should crash it!" She gives Duo a look.
"I'm not sure Duo........"
"C'mon you look like the party type of chick!" She gazes at me and then at Duo. She shrugs.
"Why not?"
(X)(x)(X)
I glared at the table as I somehow managed to finally move it out of harms way. Lord knows I wasn't up for having my house smashed up by a whole host of hormonal teenagers. I made a note to myself to lock my room along with my dad's. True he didn't use this house often, but it wouldn't do good (for him or me) if he came back to his quarters in a complete pile of..........well God knows what.......
I was wondering if I should have most of the stuff moved to the garage but I couldn't do THAT until Duo and Heero showed up. Trowa had run to the store to get all the sodas and stuff. Notice how I don't say beer because I just know the press would have a field day if I was caught in the act of under age drinking or giving alcohol to minors. If people wanted to drink they better conceal it in a way I don't find them because may Allah help them if I do. I don't know why I say Allah though. I was never raised in the Muslim religion, however I hear my mother was a devoted Muslin until the day she died. BUt anyway back to the subjec: Where the hell are Duo and Heero, do they have no concept of time?! I knew I should've invited them to stay at the house over night with Trowa and I. Even if they just so happened to engage in some type of sexual acts and woke the house up, I would've at least been sure they were here! As for Trowa and I...........well he hasn't touched me. Have I contracted some sort of disease all of the sudden? But they way he keeps his distance these days, you'd think he wasn't allowed to touch me even with a ten foot pole. But hey, what can you do?
I stare at the living room trying to figure out what to move next, or what I CAN move.
"Quatre I'd happily help you move this stuff." I look up as Nina peeks her head out the kitchen. I give a small smile and shake my head at her.
"You're a big enough help as it is in the kitchen Nina. You ladies just stay put. You shouldn't have to work over time because of SOMEONE'S irresponsibility." She simply blinked.
"Um.......ok." I could hear her and my other female sibling and cousins start up their chatter again, as if it had never stopped in the first place. I wondered absently when the rest of my guy cousins would show up. The ones here were doing their best to move stuff around accordingly but yea......
"Yo Q, we finished moving the stuff in the back yard." I watch as my younger sister, Ella's, boyfriend Lucas emerges from outside. I nod a thanks as he walk into the kitchen, his entry immediately followed by a host of excited shrieks. I rub my temples and sigh.
"Wow, looks as if you have quite the operation going on here." I look up as Duo walks through the door, hands in pockets, followed by Heero and a small girl I have yet to actually get the name of. She has long black hair and piercing blue eyes, she's wearing a large pair of grey sweat pants and form fitting black shirt, with matching Tim's. She's has a large grey hoody on, which at the moment is open. I think to myself that she's going to catch a cold like that. Heero nods and gives his "Hn" of greeting and acknowledgment while the girl walks up to me and smiles.
"Ray and you are......" I blink at her boldness but giver her my name.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Raberbra." She grins slyly at me.
"Why didn't you tell me that he's the one hosting this party?!" I chuckled a bit. Duo just shakes his head.
"Still need help movin stuff Q?" I nod my head and give him the 'look'.
"Um.......YEAH." He raises his hands in defense.
"OK, OK." I look over at Ray.
"Well most of the ladies here are decorating or preparing food so-" I watched in astonishment as she held up her hand.
"Nuh-uh. I'll help move." She pushed up the sleeve of her sweatshirt and flexed her "muscles" playfully.
"I'ma a tough girl, I can handle it!" Duo clings and arm over her shoulders.
"Yea Q, you heard the little lady!" She elbows Duo in the shoulder and gives a huge smile. I sigh.
"OK Whatever, just don't break anything, k?" She gave an offended snort.
"Who do you take me for? Duo?" I laugh out loud at that and even see the corners of Heero's mouth turn up slightly.
"HEY! Ouch that cut me man, that cut me DEEP." Duo puts a hand to his heart and pretends to cough as if ill. Ray nudges him playfully and then turns to me.
"You have cousins and brothers right?"
"Only cousins. They'll be at this party. Why?" She gave me the cute adorable 'I'm lost please take me home' look.
"I sure as hell hope their as cute as you!" Just then one of my cousins pokes his head through the door.
"Q what do I do with the giant stump?"
"Just put it anywhere safe." I watch as Ray practically drools. Then she gives us a wicked grin before speeding out the door and into the backyard. Duo stares after her.
"O............K." Heero moves from his place against the wall and stands up.
"Where's Trowa?" He gives the place a calculating look as if expecting a binded Trowa to roll out of a closet somewhere or fall from a ceiling. I give him a strange look before answering.
"On an errand." Duo slides his eyes shiftily to the side, giving me a look that is very disconcerting.
"Oh I see he's already your errand boy Q, great job. What ellllse does he do?" Duo drawled as he winked suggestively. I could tell I was already blushing before I had the chance to tell myself not to.
"Shut up Duo." He snickered as he clapped his hands together in glee. He put his hands on the hips and stared off into the sky as if he was one of those astrnaut on the moon statues. All he needed was an american flag.
"Well waht are we waiting for? TO the party mobile!" He pointed off into the distance where my cousins were working and made whoosh sounds and he tip toed away. I looked at Heero who simply shrugged and followed. Did I mention that I worry about Duo sometimes?
(X)(x)(X)
I arrived back at the house to see that all preparations were going smoothly. I smiled as Quatre came up to me and smirked.
"For a minute, I though you got lost Trowa." He closed in on me and circled his arms around me. He rested his head against my chest and sighed. I tensed up a bit remembering my behavior towards him as of late and the reason behind it.
"Quatre please don't-" He looked up at me, eyes narrowed as he stepped away.
"Why are you like this? You act as if I have the plague. You won't come anywhere NEAR ME if you can help it!" I sighed.
"I have a lot of stuff on my plate right now Kat and- it's just best that we lay low for a while, k?" I sighed as I put my hands in my pockets. His eyes stayed narrowed as he turned away.
"Whatever......." He gave me a vague wave over his shoulder without turning back to look at me. I watched as Duo practically ran over him, a small girl not to far behind.
"What can I do to help?" I yelled after him. Quatre looked over his shoulder and winked in my direction.
"Alcohol patrol. Make sure that shit get's nowhere inside my house unless there is some sort of permit. If you're confused about something just come and get me." And with that he was walking back into the kitchen, looking both ways to avoid getting run over.
I wish I could tell Kat everything but I know it's not possible at this time. Lately I know he's been in danger. The more I distance myself from him, the better. Alex is getting more and more impatient by the day. Why can't he just go find it his damn self. He can sense he's here so why bother me with this? Why force me to make a decision that will ultimately destroy me in the end? I walked outside and sat on a bench at the side of the house to avoid guest who were still pouring into the Winner household. It was almost 6:00 pm and the house was already full. It'd be even more packed by the end of the night. I figured that after I got my head together I would stand at the door and do my job of making sure no alcohol got in Quatre's house. That's the last thing he wanted and I knew this would prove to be a VERY challenging job. Quatre was smart. Without this alcohol stuff being passed around he could kill two bird with one stone: avoid getting his house smashed up by psycho drunkards and a press scandal was avoided. I listened as a pumping bass shook the very foundation of the ground beneath me. Duo had finally succeeded in hooking the sound up. I sighed and took my post by the door. I noticed the song as a familiar Dj Mystik mix. I couldn't recall the name though but hummed to myself slightly as I waited for my actual job to begin.
I looked over Quatre's guest as they came in. Most of the first had the blonde hair and eyes that Quatre had. I assumed they were his cousins. His cousins also bought their entourage and their were people who I could tell had never known Quatre a day in his life. They were just crashing a party. I let them in. As long as they weren't axe murderers or drug dealers I was good and so was Quatre..... I noticed also that very few of Kat's relatives were vampires. Most of them looked like they could be half breeds because of the gold tint their possessed within their eyes but not full like Quatre. That shouldn't be a surprise to me being that I practically have Quatre's life story in the palm of my hand. He'd probably hate me when he found out. I just know he has to have a couple of holes in his memory and I know how to fill them in, but I haven't done it yet.....
I was relieved when I saw Heero come through the door. I gave a small smile as he joined me in sitting on the stoop.
"Why are you out here?" He shrugged.
"I'm on alcohol detail and besides, I'm not one for parties." He lit a cigarette and offered me one. I accepted. I chuckle as I heard a voice break through the music. It sounded like it was coming from the backyard. I'm pretty sure they had set up some kind of podium out there so.......
"Ah I see we got quite a turn out. Alright alright......." The voice chuckled and I smiled as I realized it.
"Duo's a natural at this stuff isn't he?" Heero nodded.
"Yeah...." He continued puffing away on his cigarette casually.
"Well I just wanna wish my buddy Q the best of birthdays and I'm pretty sure thats what we're all here to do right? Well besides get drunk off our asses......." I heard a small protest that sounded like Quatre and some shuffling right before Kat's voice took over.
"Don't mind DUO! We're gonna try to keep it pg guys, PG! If your gonna get drunk do it as far away from my house as possible!" I listened as some of the people whistled and chuckled, throwing up glow sticks and what not.
"Well we won't dampen your fun any longer. Now let's turn it up and thankyou for cooperating with as move on through QUATRE'S 18th BIRTHDAY BASH!!!!! We LOVE you Q!!!!!" Duo made a "muah" sound as if blowing a kiss. I didn't need to be watching him to tell that he probably gave one of his coy little winks.I laughed out loud as I could practically feel Duo's excitement take over everyone else in the room. People cheered and soon the pumping bass of Pink's "Get the party Started" filled the area. Duo's cheerful voice could be heard above all. Heero smirked, though it was that light hearted smirk that he'd been wearing as of late. HE had seemed as if his soul had been rested lately...
"He's changed you so much in so little time Heero...." Heero scowled and then nodded slowly as if just coming to the realization for the first time.
"So are you gonna go in and beat the masses off Duo with a stick any time soon?" I chuckled in amusement as Heero shot me a glare.
"Duo can handle himself and besides, I should be asking you that question." He nodded his head towards the door behind me and as I turned I could see some guy making moves on Quatre. I could feel my insides burn with jealousy but squashed it and sighed in resignation.
"Quatre deserves better you know? I'm putting him in harm's way...." Heero gave me a disgusted look.
"Aren't you the one whose always throwing all this self righteous shit at me every time something happens with Duo?"
"That's different, you weren't sent to kill Duo..." I shook my head.
"If Alex gets hold of him, then the Quatre I know now will be no more. SO technically I'd be killing him." I looked off onto the lawn sadly as I could feel Heero boring a hole in my head.
"Do something, don't just sit there and pity yourself." Heero stood up in alarm as you could hear the distinct sounds of Duo cursing angrily at someone. Heero sighed.
"What has Duo gotten himself into?" He shook his head and squashed the cigarette. I watched amused as he struggled through the throngs of people to find his hap hazard boyfriend. I sighed
It was going to be a long night.........
/I keep so much from you Quatre.../
(X)(x)(X)
"Heero....." I whined. Heero was dragging me through the crowd of people and up the stairwell.
"Duo the things you do....."
"WHAT!" I shouted indignantly.
"The guy was asking for it, he shouldn't have even thought of touching me. He was asking for it from the word 'go'!" Heero clearly gave me a look that said he was amused but still disapproved.
"That's no reason to insult his pride and his penis size in front of everyone Duo." Duo scowled to himself.
"So what the fuck are you going to do about it?" HE grinned wickedly.
"Put me on time out?" I sneered.
"Did you SOMEHOW get alcohol Duo?" I muttered quietly to my self and gave him the 'I know I'm wrong please don't hurt me' look.
"We're going to have to have you detained." He sighed. I gaped at him and wrenched my arm out of his grasp.
"But I'm not drunk!" He glared at me.
"But you have alcohol in your blood stream. The cops will take Quatre and throw him in a box and get rid of the key if they even THINK he's been giving alcohol to a minor such as yourself." I sighed but then quickly found a way to retaliate.
"What about you, your practically a child molester!" HE chuckled at that, amused.
"You don't seem to be complaining Duo." I pouted as he ushered me in one of the guestrooms. It wasn't fair. I had to be detained, what about the guys who gave me the damn beer? Well they didn't know that I was only 16 but still........
"Please don't do anything destructive or stupid while I'm gone." I nearly had a heart attack.
"Your going to LEAVE me here?!" I stared in at him in complete aww of what he was doing. He just couldn't.
"I have to find the guys who managed to get alcohol in here." He said simply. Heero was actually going to lock me in this room, like some sort of child. Oh no BUDDY, you have another thing coming if you think I'm gonna sit quietly in this room. LIke I deserve it? Pshaw! I suddenly had an idea. If I had to stay in this room I could at least have some kinda fun right? I turned on my seductive charm mode and approached Heero.
"Hee- chan you can't just leave me here, I won't allow it." Heero raised an eyebrow at this and crossed his arms.
"Oh really?"
Heero might be fast but I was a little bit faster these days. I zipped past Heero, locked the door, and pushed him into the chair in the corner. I stood in front of him with my hand on my hip, looking very smug, if I do say so myself. He smirked and seemed to be catching the idea.
"So this is how your going to play things Duo?" I grinned.
"Of course."
"Duo you know I do things differently how about....." The wind was nearly knocked out of me as Heero launched out of his seat and tackled me to the bed. I laughed a bit. Would it be possible that I could over power Heero and control this encounter? Hmmmm........ probably not.... I smirked as Heero pinned me to th bed using both of my arms. Just like in the alley way earlier today. He stared down at me intently.
"We haven't done anything in a very long time so......." I gfawed at him. Was he kidding? Did he not understand my body language. HELLO! I wanted this and I wanted it now! I glared at him and pouted a bit.
"Your still thinking about this. Heero c'mon!" He blinked as I somehow (I'll never even know myself) freed my wrist of his grip and tackled him, rolling over to the other side of the bed playfully. I smiled as I found myself triumphantly straddling Heero's waist, sitting on top of him. I leaned down and kissed him hungrily and was pleased to see him respond just as eagerly. I grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt. We stopped to catch our breath.
"I missed you." I panted out. He smiled a bit and took this as and invitation to further ravage my mouth. We had a whole night. I pulled away from him and tugged at his shirt. After I succeeded in that, without any help from him mind you, I went for the buckle of his jeans just as he caught my hand is his own.
"What are you, speed demon? We have the whole night Duo....." I smiled at him and shook his hand off, continuing with the belt buckle.
"I'm just kind of anxious, we haven't done it in a awhile Heero. Do you know how much I missed that?" I laughed as I threw the thrice damned belt across the room.
"YES!" I yelled in triumph as I heard the belt hit the door with a satisfying 'ping/knock'Heero simply just raised and eyebrow and gave me a look that said he clearly thought I had lost it.
(X)(x)(X)
I stared forlornly out at the street. I was sitting on a bench that I had found out of the way of the party. I was pretty sure that Heero and Duo were fucking each other's brains out up stairs but where was I? I was sitting on a bench by the side of my house shaking my head at how sad my life is. Do you know what it's like to go through a whole host of relationships that you're not even serious about but then you find that one person and there's no one else, but unfortunately their not serious about you........? When with Trowa I look at things different. My lifestyle has gradually changed since I got to know him. At first he was just this guy who happened to be Heero's friend and then he became my late night conversationalist. always there to talk to on the phone if I got board and then it was more....
I didn't want any of those girls or guys who stayed trying to make moves on me, not even tonight. I wanted Trowa. Everyone changes. Heero has changed, Duo has changed, MY sister have changed, and so have I. Months ago I wouldn't have cared and would have simply gone and found someone who was willing to spend a night with me without attachment. My life was FREE. And then here comes Trowa and he just put a freaking lock and chain on my heart and body. I can't be with anyone else so why not be alone?
It was winter so , no there weren't any fireflies to comfort or entertain me, no kids running down the block with their dog, no crickets to compose a song to sooth me, just bitter cold. I figured my guest could do without me for a couple of minutes, right?
I shivered a bit as I noticed tears welling up in my eyes. I refused to let them fall though. BUt obviously life doesn't go by what you want or resolve to do.Unfortunately after a while I just gave up and let the first trickle right down my left cheek and then the rest followed. I heard footsteps coming upon my hiding place so I began wiping at my face furiously.
"Quatre?" I turned my face away as I recognized the voice.
"What are you doing out here Trowa." I felt him sit down beside me which caused me to look away even more.
"You disappeared from your own party." I remained silent but made the mistake of sniffling. Before I could even react he had turned me towards him and was holding my face in his hands. He stared at face, evaluating me. I scowled and stared down at the ground when I finally shook my head free.
"You've been crying." He pointed out.
"Good job! You want a biscuit or something?" I snapped. I barely realized that I had snapped until a moment later.
"Trowa I'm sorry......." He once again took my face in his hands and stared at intently. I could see his green eyes right through the thick sheet of night. They were the first things that caught my attention when Heero had first introduced us.
"Trowa.....?" I brought my hand up to touch the side of his face just as he closed the distance between us and brought his lips to mines. He brought his arms encircle my waist as he pulled me closer.
)Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor.
Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance,
silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me.(
(X)(x)(X)
) Are you ready for a good pounding baby? (get down)
Are you ready to get it on? (get down, get down)
Don't pretend you're not fucking freaky baby. (get down)
I will spank that ass just for fun (get down, on the ground(
I moaned as Heero hit that special bundle of nerves that always drove me crazy. I don't know why he all the sudden decided to start prepping me before the actual main course but hey I wasn't complaining. I threw my head back as the constant pressure Heero was using on my length along with those two fingers inside me, were starting to make me lose it. I gripped at the sheet's in an effort to keep me from thrashing around any further. Heero had a pretty solid grip on my hip anyways, even using only one hand.
"Heero c'mon jus-" I arched my back violently, cutting off my words, as I felt a tightening in my abdomen and the swelling of my length. I cried out silently as I felt myself spill into Heero's mouth. It felt as if a whole wave of pleasure just knocked me over over into the sands of contentment. So very, very good......
I laid there trying to catch my breath, chest heaving in and out. Heero raised his head and eyed me predatorily and I managed a small gasp when I felt that ever consistent pressure abandon me I nearly whimpered and was about to have a fit when I noticed the two fingers that had been caressing my insides so diligently were gone. I panted a bit as I felt Heero hook an arm around my waist and pull me up towards him.
I could feel his heat nudge at my entrance slightly and was a bit surprised when he threw my legs over his shoulders, this caused me to be in the most interesting "U" shape anyone ever did see.
"What-" The next thing I knew I was thrashing my head wildy as my back hit the head board and Heero had entered me swiftly causing me to gasp for air, and when I finally found enough air I screamed. He looked me in the eye and I could see the sweat coming down his brow.
My hair was still in it's braid, THANK GOD, because I don't think I could handle it getting in the way right now. Even the few strands that had escaped their confines were too much right now. I tried to shift myself some in order to make the position a bit more comfortable. This was pretty new to me being that I had never been forced to be this flexible in my life.
)Ass up high, make a motherfu-cker cry
It's so good, that I could die
Help me stay alive.
The time is right
I want to feel it good'n tight.
I'm down to do this all night
I'm gonna beat it upright.(
I tried concentrating on the feel of Heero filling me and moaned as I rocked my hips a bit, letting him know I was ready. Heero leaned close to my ear and whispered my name out huskily. "Duo..."I tried to respond but he had already proceeded to piston himself into me. My hands looked for anything to grip onto and finally I settled for clawing at the top of the headboard, gripping it with every bit of my strength. I closed my eyes and rocked in time with his thrust
"nnnn...AHH-" The scream died in my throat before I could even finish. I moved my other hand to hook around his neck and claw at the back of it. Heero was gripping my hips tightly as he continued to thrust upwards, making me see every single color in the damn crayola box. If you had the chance which would you choose?
A. having mind blowing sex with your boyfriend or
B. getting drunk and bashing up your friends house with countless others downstairs?
"A damnit A!" I
s that your final answer?
"Hells YEAH!"
I felt the heat finally rise to my cheeks as we moved onto a whole a new level of Fahrenheit. Even though I'm pretty sure that's not possible. I released and contracted my insides around Heero's shaft. Heero let out a strangled moan before bowing his head to the nape of my neck. I cried out sharply as I felt the familiar pain lance up the side of my neck, causing me to claw even more insistently at the headboard along with Heero's neck. I was at a very interesting angle but it didn't matter too much. The only thing that mattered was the heated stick buried to the hilt inside of me. I could here myself muttering words that weren't even clear to my own ears as he continued to drink from my veins.
Black was starting to blot through my vision as I felt Heero drain me. Eventually he pulled away and brought his lips to mine in a heated kiss, pumping me insistently at the same time. I could taste my own blood in his mouth as I felt his tongue slide against mines, the metallic taste awakening my senses and bringing back the old craving that I hadn't fulfilled in a long time. I could here Heero hiss as my fang slid against his tongue, causing his blood to flow. I sucked on Heero's tongue savoring the taste of his blood mingled with my own. I let my eyes slip shut as the taste brought complete and total bliss to my being.
I could feel the familiar tightening in my abdomen along with the swelling and howled in pleasure as I came..........hard. My essence spilled over Heero's hand and spurted across my belly thickly. Heero moaned and threw his head back. Blending our voice together in a cry of sheer pleasure as I felt the familiar warmth slick my inner walls. I had forgotten how that felt for a time. That liquid warmth being released in side of me.
When I finally opened my eyes I was staring into clouded cobalt ones. Heero unhooked my legs from over his shoulders and pulled out of me. I laid there for a while as he sat next to me, taking in my naked form. I blushed a bit and sat up with him. I always found it kind of embarrassing when people stare at me naked. I know if I ever get married me and my wife would have sex with the lights off. Plain and simple. Heero flipped over the sheets on the bed and pulled me down into his arms. We both fell asleep sated and content.
(X)(x)(X)
I felt as if I was in an incredibly safe place, just drifting. I felt strong arms around me and blinked my eyes open. I shifted a bit to see who was laying down with me and smiled as my brain supplied the answer to my unasked question along with memories of the night before. Very SWEET memories mind you. I turned around to wrap my arms around Trowa, snuggling even further into the warmth his body provided. I stared at his relaxed sleeping features and smirked. Happy Birthday to me! I burrowed my head into his chest raining kisses over the smooth skin. Eventually I felt him stir and looked up into dancing green eyes.
"Morning Kat." I grinned.
"Hey Trowa."
"Should I go wake the remaining guest and try getting breakfast started?" He held me closer to him and those strong arms held me in place.
"NO they can wake up themselves." I laughed a bit at that.
"Are you sure, after that alcohol SOMEHOW being snuck in we might want to see how everyone's doing." He yawned, still refusing to let go.
"Your sisters can handle them." His eyes slipped shut again and I noticed that I was stuck. I sighed. Mine as well enjoy it while it last.
