Hello and welcome, this is Untitled. Basically, It's one big get-together fic...and wow! AU! 1x2, 3x4, 5x13 and even a few hints of 1xR
Rating: T now, there's a little strong language and a few adult themes, but i think the children of today can handle it.
Disclaimer: If I owned Gundam Wing, I would have DSL or Cable Internet...I have Dial-up...so NO I don't own this, and no money was made from this project, only deep self-hate when Writer's Block comes...kisses Enjoy!
UNTITLED
The weather raged outside, the mansion was already on its own generators. The room he sat in was dark except for the light of his laptop, a couple candles, and the lit tip of his cigarette. Flicking the ashes into a jade ashtray, Wufei sighed. The book was not going as he had planned, and neither had this party. As soon as the lights went out, Quatre declared that the party would be rescheduled. He had just began typing again as a light knock came on the door. He thought maybe it was Barton or maybe Quatre so he called.
"Come in." He took a drag on his cigarette and almost choked on the smoke when a moping Maxwell came in. Duo Maxwell, you must understand, was not a mopey person. His head was hanging low and his slim hands twisted his long chestnut braid in his hand. "Maxwell?"
"Hey Wu, what ya workin' on?" Wufei felt a little pang of anger, but he had long ago given up on correcting Maxwell's misuse of his name. He motioned for the idiot to come and look.
"It's my new book." He took another drag of his cigarette and Duo wrinkled his nose.
"Wu-chan, you really shouldn't smoke, or Shinigami will come early for you." Wufei blew his smoke away from Maxwell's face.
"I would welcome him, I do not fear death." Duo snorted.
"You wouldn't, so what's your book about?" Wufei smiled as Maxwell sat down to listen to Wufei's tale. Snubbing out his cigarette, he began to spin the tale of murder, mayhem, mystery, and sex. Lots of sex. "Definitely a best-seller. I can't wait to read all of it. You'll send me a copy won't you Fei-Love?"
"Of course Maxwell, it's late, so why don't you go to bed?"
"I can't, I cannot sleep with them right next to my room." Wufei sighed. He knew who that them was. It was Heero and Relena. Wufei had known these people since college. They'd all been in the same Mod, except Relena, she had known Heero from high school. "The love of my life, and that whore who's been sleazing around him for years!" Duo Maxwell was very passionate. "I can't believe it Wu! Who would you pick? If you had the choice between me or Relena." He struck a dramatic pose to make himself more appealing to Wufei.
"Maxwell, did you ever tell Yuy how you felt?"
"No, I haven't, but I haven't told him because I can't get him alone ever! I would do it if I had the chance!"
"Fine, then I'll get you the chance. Now get out."
"Thanks Wu, and what about the choice? Who would you pick?"
"GET OUT!" Duo left, he knew what Wufei's choice would be. "You Maxwell, I'd choose you." That was Wufei's statement to an empty room.
Trowa looked up as someone entered the room. "Hey Trowa, it's me." It was Quatre, he had a silver tray with tea on it. "I thought you might like some."
"I-thanks." Quatre smiled, the boy had a beautiful smile. "Where is everybody?" Trowa couldn't think of a better question.
"Well, Wufei's in the study, I don't know where Duo is and Heero and Relena are in their room." Trowa nodded and stirred his tea. "I never thought that Heero would go for her. She's a nightmare."
"I always thought that Duo and Heero would end up in each other's beds." Trowa took a sip of tea and tried to gauge Quatre's reactions. But Quatre only nodded. They sat in silence for a few moments, then Quatre asked.
"What have you been reading?"
"Oh, Wufei's last book. It's quite good. Except for the lesbians." He smirked and Quatre half choked. "I particularly like Adrian and Tom. They're a very nice couple."
"I would think you'd like Moon and Donna." Trowa shook his head.
"Too Lez for me. Give me a bi girl or guy for that matter." They were learning from each other. Trowa had tiptoed around Quatre because he couldn't gauge the younger boy's sexuality. Trowa had known for a long time that he was bisexual.
"Me too." Trowa raised an eyebrow as if asking 'really?' "Well, yeah. I mean, I thought it was obvious. Pink shirt."
"That's true. And if it is. Why the hell haven't we fucked?"
"I dunno." Quatre said, as Trowa was about to lean over to kiss him a knock slammed on the door and then it opened. "Rashid? What is it?"
"You have another guest Master Quatre. He's in the foyer. Says the name's Treize Kushrenada."
"Oh, I didn't think he got my invitation. Come with me Trowa?" The brunette nodded and stood gracefully. They went down to the foyer where a man stood shaking the rain out of his hair. "Treize! How good to see you! I didn't think you were coming, you never replied."
"I had only just found it this evening. I hope I am not intruding."
"No, not at all, this is my good friend Trowa." Quatre introduced Treize and Trowa. "I'm so glad you came, but I've decided to reschedule the party for later. The generators won't last long. So I thought that we'd just have a casual dinner party and do the murder mystery party later this month or next month."
"Ah, I would've called but it was busy and I decided to surprise you." Treize smiled and Trowa could've growled. Quatre, as far as Trowa was concerned was his now. He'd had his eyes on the little blond for years.
"Are you hungry?" Quatre asked the man and he shook his head.
"Some tea would be nice." Quatre nodded.
"We'll all have tea together, is that alright with you two?" Trowa nodded and Treize nodded while running his fingers through his hair.
Rashid knocked briefly on the door in the study and strode right in. "Master Quatre requests your presence in the music room for tea and meeting a new guest."
"Alright, thank you Rashid." He nodded to the man and backed up his book then closed the lid to the slim notebook. Slipping his pack of Camel Turkish Jade 100's into his pocket along with his lighter, he left the study. It took him three minutes total to get to the other side of the mansion. Smoking was really taking an effect on his system. He entered the room, located the nearest ashtray and lit up. Wufei just really didn't care.
"Hi Wufei, I want you to meet my friend Treize, we were in Professor Vinkus's class together." Wufei's eyes rose to the man with the broad shoulders and a killer smile.
"Pleased to meet you Wufei, Quatre has told me so much about you." Treize reached out a hand and Wufei, in his own world, reached out slowly and they shook. "The name's Treize Kushrenada. I've read your books, but I never realized you were this young." Treize's smile got him.
"Yo, Que? What's up?" Duo bounded into the room and Wufei's gaze into Treize's eyes was broken. The older man smiled and was introduced to the braided man. Duo sat down on Wufei and the Chinese man cursed.
"Maxwell!"
"Come on Wu, they are going to be here too." Duo's eyes were full of pain. Wufei resigned and he tried to take a drag on his cigarette but Duo took it out of his hand and snuffed it out in the ashtray. "I told you it was bad Wu."
"Damn you, Maxwell." Then the door opened and Relena pulled Heero inside and sat them on a love seat.
"Relena, Heero, I'd like you to meet my good friend Treize. He was supposed to be here earlier, but he just found his invitation." Quatre smiled at them and Wufei could've growled when Heero put his arm around the girl. He knew that Yuy felt trapped. It was a wonder the girl wasn't dead yet. Quatre had introduced them all and they just sat there while the blond served tea. He seemed nervous. Nervous about what? Maxwell was getting heavy, not that Wufei would ever admit that. "So, Wufei do you want to tell us about your new book."
"Not particularly but Maxwell can do it. Get up you twit, tell them." So he lit another cigarette while Duo wove his new story out for the others.
"I don't like it, it's too graphic. What if a child were to get a hold of a copy and read that garbage?" Duo looked like he wanted to slit her throat. She was glaring daggers at Wufei. "Well?"
"Ms. Peacecraft, the fact of the matter is, you can see the exact thing on cable. So, if parents don't screen their children on what they watch then why would they care about what they read." Wufei blew a ring of smoke towards her.
"I for one have NEVER seen anything like that trash you write on television."
"I have." this came from Treize, the only one who wasn't seething besides Wufei. Wufei had stopped listening to Relena's opinions right after he met her, two minutes after he met her in fact. She was staring blankly at Treize. "Well, I mean it was foreign television, but still, Wufei's books sell better over there than over here. I don't think they're that graphic at all, Mr. Maxwell's description has gotten me interested."
"Yes but, the children of thi..." Relena started to disagree and Heero clapped his hand over her mouth. Duo snickered loudly and if looks could kill Relena would've been charged with infinite counts of homicide.
"Leave it alone Relena. I think your book will be great Wufei, if you don't mind, we'll just be going to bed." The two got up and left and Duo turned to look at Wufei.
"Ah, Yuy, wait." The half-Japanese youth looked back, Relena's hands were tugging on his shirt.
"Come on, Heero." Relena's voice was angry.
"Go back to the room, I'll be there in a little bit." He shoved her away and Wufei got up.
"Excuse me, I'll be back in a bit. It was a pleasure to meet you Mr. Kushrenada." He nodded to the older man and told Heero to follow him. Duo had a hopeful look in his eye, and Relena had disappeared.
They got to Wufei's room and they went out on the balcony. "Why, pray tell, are we all the way out here?" Heero was angry as well.
"This is the furthest place from Relena. You should be thankful."
"I can't stand her anymore. What the hell is wrong with me? Why can't I love a woman the way I'm supposed to?"
"Are you gay?" Wufei asked after blowing a puff of smoke into the night air.
"What?" Wufei looked at him, his obsidian eyes piercing Heero's blue ones.
"You heard me, are you gay?" Heero's head drooped a little obstructing Wufei's view of his eyes. "Heero, if you are, I know how hard it is to admit it and come to terms with it, but I thought you ought to know that you're not the only one who's life is miserable." Heero looked at him. "There's someone else who's life is just as miserable as yours. Just relax. Assess yourself and what you want in life."
"You did major in Psych didn't you?" Wufei nodded and smirked.
They were silent for almost ten minutes. The sound of their breathing was the only one besides the natural sounds of the night. "Wufei, I don't know what to do, I don't know how to get away from her."
"Have you figured out what you want in life? Have you figured out your sexuality? Have you figured out that Relena is not the one for you. Have you figured out that she is ripping your friendships to pieces?"
"She is? What?"
"We all hate her, Duo especially. Duo wants to speak with you privately. He can't get you away from that viper long enough to tell you something important."
"Oh. I'll talk to him, tonight and Wufei?"
"Yeah?" Wufei looked up and smiled.
"Thanks." Heero left the room. Wufei finished smoking and then made his way back to the study.
