When Nothing Goes Right

Vastulja Sata Menton

Chapter Nine: Fight to Win

I hadn't expected Wufei to show up, entering though the balcony. The sight caused fear and anticipation to run though me. But when he kissed me…oh how all that fear just washed away. His tongue; god I couldn't help but melt to his ministrations. I was in pure ecstasy, and when he ran his hand down my body – I was in heaven. Well, until he pulled away due to the fact that Heero had entered the room. In that moment, I wasn't sure what to do or how to feel. The look on Heero's face caused shivers to run down my spine. I hadn't seen that glare in years, not since the war. It was the look like he was going to kill someone.

"Wufei," he ground out between clenched teeth. If looks could kill, I tell you. Wufei slowly stood, still holding my hand. His face was as set as Heero's. Uh oh.

"Heero," my lover spat. It was like watching two lions stare each other down, and I was the pray…er prize? I wasn't sure, but I knew that I did not want to be there anymore.

"How the hell did you get in here?"

"What does it matter? I'm here. And I'm taking Duo and we are leaving."

"You aren't going anywhere with him. He is staying right here."

"I beg to differ. You have no authority over what I do, Heero. And being his lover, I can and will take him." I looked between the two. I was afraid; really afraid. Something was going to happen and I wasn't going to be able to stop it. Wufei dropped my hand then and moved around the bed. They were face to face, and almost the same height, though Heero was taller. Perfectly matched against each other.

"No, Wufei. I don't think you will."

It all happened in kind of a blur, so I wasn't sure who threw the first punch. But Heero and Wufei were soon on the ground, fighting to win. I heard myself scream out their names in protest. Before I could do anything to stop them though, Quatre and Trowa rushed into the room and pulled them apart. The two men I loved so much struggled to get to each other, but neither Quatre nor Trowa would let go. For that I was thankful. Quatre was first to speak up.

"What the hell is going on here?" I had never heard Quatre swear, no one had. So it shocked us all.

"Wufei wants to take Duo away!" Heero spat, shrugging Quatre's hands off his shoulders.

"And I will too!" Wufei shouted, struggling against Trowa's hold. My unibanged friend knew better than to let go though.

"Like hell you will!"

"STOP IT!" All eyes turned to Quatre. He seemed to be fuming at the ears (if that were possible)(1). "Why don't you guys ask Duo what he wants for a change?" Everyone turned to me where I sat on the bed. Great.

"M-me?" I sputtered. He had to be kidding. Wufei had never asked me what I wanted, but now I was being given the chance. What did I want though? Something, but I wasn't sure what. I felt like my insides were being torn apart by this simple decision. Then again, it wasn't that simple. I loved Wufei, but I knew that our relationship had a lot of problems that needed to be worked out. Would he be willing to work them out, or would things just go back to the way they were? And then there was Heero. I loved him too, and inside I knew that I wanted to be more than just best friends. But if I chose him, would Wufei still care for me and be my friend? And if I chose Wufei, what would happen then? I wasn't sure. All I knew was that I didn't want to hurt anymore. In fact, I didn't want to feel anymore. It was all so confusing!

I think that Quatre saw the pain and confusion in my eyes because he pushed Heero and Wufei out of the room just before the tears began to fall. Leaving Trowa to deal with the two men, Quatre came and sat by my side. I buried my face in my hands and let the sobs and tears fall shamelessly.

"It's okay, Duo. Just let it all out." He took me in his arms and rocked me gently, letting me cry out all of the pain, anger, frustration, and anguish. Why did everything have to be so difficult? Why? Outside of the room I could hear angry shouts, which only caused me to break down even more. Quatre pulled away, a look of anger on his face, before storming to the door. He threw it open and slammed it shut behind him.

"What the hell is your problem!" I heard Quatre shout louder than any of them had. "GET OUT! Both of you get the hell out of my house! I don't want to see either of you until tomorrow!" There was a stunned silence. "NOW!" There was a shuffle of feet before my blond friend slipped back into the room. Taking a deep breath, he straightened his shirt before coming back to sit down beside me. I was in pure shock. I had never heard Quatre shout like that. "Sorry about that Duo."

"'S okay." I replied wide-eyed. He smiled at me and patted me on the back.

"This will all work out, Duo. I promise. Even if I have to make it work out myself." I smiled weakly at him. He really was a good friend. I just hoped that he was right.

End Chapter Nine

(1) Yes, this saying was in Wufei's POV too. I like to repeat things slightly. To make a point I guess.

AN: Wow! Go Quatre:) Well I'm happy with this chapter. I hope you are all as well.
