Chapter 3: 21 Things I Want in A Lover

The alarm clock ran for the 5th time that morning and bright red letters read 8:00 AM. In a rustled bed a hand snuck out of the bed covers and once the infernal sound ended Duo Maxwell practically rolled out of bed groaning and stretching as he made it to the bathroom of his flat.

Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?

Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?

Do you have a big intellectual capacity

But know that it alone does not equate wisdom?

Once done with his morning routine of brushing his teeth, hair getting dressed and having a cup of STRONG coffee Duo ambled down the streets of Tokyo towards his job. Winner's Enterprises Japanese branch head of engineering. A few years after the war, a few years after Duo lost his heart, he had managed to make a B-line to college and work in the Tokyo branch which was new and NEEDED someone with not only the knowledge Duo's degree had giving him but experience in the battle field. Duo had worked very hard for the past four years and his life was vastly improving. The Preventers and the Tokyo Branch of Winner's enterprises were now great allies and new peace keeping machines and weapons came primarily from them, as well as the ongoing research for the perfect alloy. Duo ambled into his office at 9 and was greeted with an angry looking middle aged woman.

"YOU are LATE!" the Kidist hissed. "I've been waiting in the waiting room for half an hour NOW!" Duo sighed opening his office and nodding a greeting to his secretary before being practically chased into his office. Duo was not "released" from his office for the next hour till his early meeting ended. The woman huffed before leavings mumbling about Young heads of corporations and how they don't listen to their elders. Duo leaned against his offices door frame a triumphant grin on his face.

"What was it now?" Minako asked. She was about Duo's age and quickly after his arrival had become the best of friends.

"She thought I should pay more for less quality" Duo replied. "Honestly, she tries but I don't know why she hasn't gotten the hint, I shockingly KNOW what I'm doing"

"pfft, beats me" Minako replied twirling a strand of blonde hair between her fingers with one hand and offering a box of pocky with another. Her crush on Duo Maxwell had died as soon as she got to know him. He was sweet, caring, but also, she knew he wasn't interested "so tell me about your date last night" she grinned

these are 21 things that i want in a lover

not necessarily needs but qualities that i prefer

Duo rolled his eyes, "That guy you hooked me up with? That LOG! I swear I had to pry words out of his mouth!"

"Sorry Duo, it seemed like he was a nice guy! Don't worry next time I'll get it!"

Duo rolled his eyes. Minako had been trying to hook him up with some guy for the past 3 months, trying to pay him back for setting her up with Aidan.

do you derive joy from diving in

and seeing that loving someone can actually feel like freedom?

are you funny? a self-deprecating?

like adventure? and have many formed opinions?

"Mina-chan! You know picky I am with my men" Duo complained placing his hands stubbornly on his hips.

"So? That doesn't mean I can't try" Minako giggled, winking at the braided man.

Duo sighed shaking his head and heading into his office, he still had paper work to do.

In truth Duo had not found much wrong with his dates, it was him. He was still clinging to the past and he cursed himself for that. Heero is dead, and if he isn't it's obvious he wants nothing to do with you. Duo's love had not died even five years after the war he couldn't stop thinking about him. Duo sat at his desk proceeded to bang his head onto his desk. That's it, I can't take this, It's Friday, that means I have the weekend, I'm going out today, I need to get over it .Duo raised his head as the door opened.

"Mr. Maxwell, it seems Mr. Winner has come for a visit." Minako said professionally.

"Thanks Mina" Duo said as she turned away and welcomed Quatre in.

Duo smirked as the blonde entered. Even at 21 Quatre still looked about 5 years younger. But a little bit of change DID happen. Quatre's height was now equal to Duo's height of 5'10''. Duo stood up to greet the blonde

"Kit Kat! Long time no see!" He took Quatre into a friendly hug

"Hey Duo" Quatre greeted. "Sorry for not checking on you as often, My office has been mobbed since my sisters found out I wasn't going to be producing an heir." Quatre sighed practically collapsing into Duo's seat.

Duo shook his head sitting on his desk. Quatre was going through a lot; he was called to be vice foreign minister as soon as he turned 18, just a year after he had handed Duo his Tokyo branch position. Relena became president. Both were constantly under the public eyes and unfortunately Quatre's relationship with Trowa was revealed. The public did not react badly; another thing could be said about Quatre's family. They immediately turned on him, except Iria and Yasmin, 2 out of his twenty-nine sisters.

"Quatre, you need a vacation, big time" Duo said moving to touch Quatre's shoulder. A knot of muscles was all he was met with.

"Shit Kit kat, you're all knots" Duo hissed moving to loosen Quatre's muscles.

"Would you believe me if I told you Trowa loosened my shoulders this morning?" Quatre asked sighing in relief as a knot was undone.

i'm in no hurry i could wait for ever

i'm in no rush cuz i like being solo

there are no worries and certainly no pressures

in the meantime i'll live like there's no tomorrow

"Damn…" Duo said. "You need a break"

"When?"

"What are you up to this weekend?"

"uh….Saturday is open and Sunday I've got a board of directors' meeting." Quatre said "lower"

Duo's hand moved to the bottom of Quatre's neck. "Good, you need a break,"

"Huh?"

"You're going out dancing tonight! Don't forget to tell Trowa" another knot loosened.

"What?" Quatre asked spinning the chair to face Duo. "Duo my face has been on every magazine and newspaper at least 4 times in the past MONTH. I don't think that'll be relaxing" Duo's grin broadened.

"They've only seen you where your business clothes. When I say dancing I mean clubbing meaning you're not wearing formal stuff."

Quatre's eyes shimmered with excitement. "Count me in; I forget the last time we did that"

"Lets meet at my place" Duo said finishing up Quatre's other shoulder. "There" Quatre's tired demeanor he had entering was gone and excitement replaced it.

"Wonderful, see you then"

"No prob kit kat"

"Thanks Duo"

"Pfft… all in a day's work, now I'm heading down to blow sheets of metal to pieces." Duo grinned escorting Quatre to the elevator down the hall and pushing the basement floor and lobby buttons.

"How is that new metal you've been working with, you know it needs to be ready and presentable for the summit meeting" Quatre asked. Duo nodded.

"Yup, it's going through some small kinks, it'll be done soon, I even know how to present it!"

"Oh really?"

"I built something, an old friend of ours" Duo winked at the blonde.

"Duo…you didn't" Quatre stared at him shocked.

"Quatre…I did!" Duo mimicked the shocked blonde. "Think! If this thing can sustain a beam canon it'll make it through anything, including any sort of decomposition, except MAYBE an apocalypse…and I don't think you can save anyone from THOSE" Duo chuckled and the door opened. "Your stop Kit Kat" Duo pushed the billionaire out of the elevator as the doors began to shut catching a chuckle coming from Quatre's lips.

are you uninhibited in bed? more than 3 times a week?

up for being experimental? are you athletic?

are you thriving in a job that helps your brother?

are you not addicted?

"Ok boys and lady" he winked at Emily, and she winked back. "…tell me we've got something!" Duo yelled out as he entered an underground hangar.

"Right here, duo-kun!" Aidan smiled looked at the 1 ½'' thick metal dome in front of him and his sister. Both wore the same sly grin and both donned similar grease stains.

"Is it ready for the test?" Duo asked.

"As ready as ever for you." Emily sighed. "We just finished it about 3 minutes ago"

Duo nodded and touched the sheet his hands gliding over the metal, he had expected it to be cold but it was rather warm.

The welders watched crossing their fingers. Duo whipped out a gun he had brought with him. And shot three consecutive shots in the same place with out blinking. Emily and Aiden, having been prepared for this had already covered their ears. This was not the first random test the metal has been put through.

The metal retained it's smoothness, not a dent. Duo looked at the welders.

"This gun has enough power to break a hole through the current colony metal." He grinned. "Lad and Lady" he bowed. "I believe it is time we celebrate"

...are you curious and communicative?

Cheer's erupted from the team of two.

"Club, meeting tonight at my place, I think Wufei's already there" Emily blushed at Duo's statement. "see you guys there?"

With that Duo headed back to his office a grin on his face. He'd have more good news to share with Quatre. His internal excitement was too much. The metal for the Project was done; a future generation would see it come to!

Duo too excited didn't notice the Prussian eyes that followed him as he left the office determined to forget the past.

TBC!

And the plot thickens! Who's Prussian blue eyes are following Duo? I'll give you one guess! Srry about the lack of other sailor scouts in this chapter.They will be in the next chapter! Promise!
