A/N: Ok, so here actually starts the drama that isWufei vs Aya.
Dragon's Desire
Chapter 2
Wufei sat staring at the book, a small knowing smile on his face. It had been three months since he'd seen Aya and he thought he'd finally figured out a way to get in touch with the man without being too pushy or obvious. He didn't want to scare him away after all.
There was no doubt in his mind that he desired the beautiful redhead. But the man intrigued him as well. Fujimiya Aya was quite a rare find and Wufei knew that any effort required to win the man would be worth it. And the book seemed the perfect starting point.
He'd written a short note on the inside page and carefully wrapped the book in brown paper, tied it with string and affixed the address label. He thought about sending it in a box or using better paper, but he decided to stick with plain paper and string because he didn't want it to seem like a gift of affection or anything other than what it was. He, the author, was mailing a book to someone he thought would appreciate it. He'd found out from Ken that the person who introduced Wufei's writing to him was none other than his former lover Aya. So maybe he would like to read this book too? It was an honest assumption. Ok Aya, let's see if I made as strong an impression on you as you did on me.

As soon as he walked into the Koneko he knew something was going on. At the sound of the bell over the door, all three sets of eyes looked his way. Usually it was just Yohji who looked at the front door to acknowledge the customer. Not everyone in the room.
Aya eyed the smiling trio suspiciously as he walked into the backroom to get his apron. He'd taken his break to get some fresh air, the day being too beautiful to stay indoors. When he came back out into the store, he found his friends converging on him.
He looked from a blushing Omi to a snickering Ken to a glittering green-eyed Yohji whose smile was almost criminal.
"What are you doing here?"
"Hello to you too. I just stopped by to say 'hi'." Ken patted him on the back. "It's good to see you're human after all Aya."
Amethyst eyes threw daggers at the brunette. When he looked to Omi, the youngest Weiss member just blushed harder and looked away. That left Yohji.
"You have three seconds to say what needs to be said or I gut you all."
"Calm down Aya." Yohji put his arm around the redhead's shoulders and led him away from Ken and Omi towards the front counter. "I'm sorry I wasn't here to take the delivery myself. If I had, then I certainly wouldn't have told those two about it. I mean, it's your business what you do in the privacy of your room."
Aya remained silent. He didn't know what the hell was going on but he had a feeling it was bad. Very bad. He was relieved when Yohji took his arm from around his shoulders and went behind the counter.
"Here. This arrived while you were out."
Aya looked down at the nondescript brown package addressed to him. He didn't recognize the return address and there was no name to indicate the sender. He picked it up and turned it over, still not finding any clues. So he began to unwrap it.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm opening it."
"Here!" Yohji put his hand over Aya's to stop him. "I really don't think that's a very appropriate thing to do right here in the store."
"Why not?"
"Well, do you really want the chibi to see what's in that package? What if a customer walks in?"
"You're not making any sense." Aya pulled the package away from under Yohji's hand and continued to unwrap it.
"Aya, for as much as I'd like to see what's in that package, I really don't think you should be opening your porn here in the store."
A resounding thud echoed through the store as the package hit the floor. Aya's wide eyes were fixed on Ken as the former assassin slowly approached him and picked up the package.
"Why…why do you think it's porn?"
Ken just shrugged and handed the partially opened package back to his friend. "All 'adult material' comes wrapped in nondescript brown paper or black plastics bags. We just assumed."
"I. Did. Not. Order. Porn."
His voice was a quiet, seething rage. And to prove his innocence, he proceeded to open the package right there in front of them. The paper fell to the floor and Aya stared at the book. Honor Bound by Chang Wufei.
Ken leaned over and when he saw the book he smiled. He'd hoped something would have come of their dance at the wedding, but when nothing happened after a couple months, he'd given up hope. But now…..
"I didn't know you and Wufei kept in touch."
"We don't." The response was muttered and Aya didn't wait around for any more nosy questions. He picked up the discarded wrapping and headed upstairs to his room.

Aya sat at his desk and stared at the brief note in the neat script on the inside cover.
Rumor has it you enjoyed my last novel.
I hope my newest meets with your approval.
Let me know what you think.
Wufei
Aya knew that any information Wufei had obtained about him was from Ken. He cringed at the amount of personal stuff Ken knew about him. I shouldn't be surprised though. Ken already told him we were lovers. You can't get much more personal.
Aya closed the book and went back downstairs to continue work. By the time he entered the Koneko, Ken had already left and there were a few customers so Aya didn't have to deal with any more inane conversation about his mysterious package. He was sure he didn't have answers to most of their questions and the answers he did have, he wasn't willing to share.

Three weeks later Wufei was sifting through a stack of mail when he came upon a small white envelope. A small smile crept across his lips as he slowly opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. He wanted to sustain the suspense as long as possible. This letter was either going to make his heart soar, or crush it entirely. He didn't understand how his fascination with Aya became so strong so quick, but he refused to fight it. It had been too long since someone captured his interest.
Thank you for the book. It caused quite a stir which you've undoubtedly already heard about through Ken. Just in case he hasn't been running his mouth to you recently, the package was thought to be porn. So I thank you for the excitement you brought to my day as well.
I enjoyed the book very much and actually finished it several days ago. Unfortunately I've been too busy to write to you until now. I wish I could return your generous gesture with one of my own, however I lack your gift with words so I'll share one of my favorite quotes with you.

Aya
Wufei smiled at the letter in his hands. So this is to be a paper chase Aya? Very well. I accept.
He went over to his desk and pulled out some paper and a pen.
To be continued….
