Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny.

A/N: Uhh. Actually, I had updates for Redemption and A Terrible Beauty on the tip of my brain, but then it's gone... so yeah (sweat drops). I kind of disappoint myself.

To those who read and reviewed, and to those who placed this simple story(Petiks) onto their favorite list- I greatly thank you. :D

AU. Please don't take these nonsense seriously. I'm not on crack, okay? Just really-really bored. Boredom is evil!

The Manliest Boyfriend

"... That's why I keep telling you to rewrite the damn OS!"

"Well no shit. How would I have known rewiring the thing wouldn't fix it!"

Two and a half hours passed noon. Having missed lunch as well as having been abandoned by Athrun, Kira, Nicol and Rusty, their workmates, by not coming back with food when they were supposed to, Yzak and Dearka set off to the cafeteria on their own hungry and in bit of a foul mood.

Forget them! The two thought in unison.

But lo and behold, that was where they found the four lazy asses piled on top of each other behind a huge divider- near the cafeteria entrance.

Yzak's face immediately twitched at the sight of their presumed dependable friends playing human stack up.

"So here's wh-!"

"Sh!" Athrun said, without turning around.

"The hell!"

"Sh! The girls are talking about us." Athrun pointed out causing Yzak to shut up for once as he and Dearka joined in on what the guys were listening into, out of curiosity.

Precisely two and a half meters plus an empty table away from their wall, Lacus, Cagalli, Flay and Miriallia, four out of six of the guy's girlfriends, were lounging on a rectangular table that was normally for eight.

Lips chatted away.

"... I'm telling you guys it was so incredibly sexy! Dearka drives with only one hand on the steering wheel and is completely relax all throughout. He does it like this." The girl who sounds like Miriallia boasted in a way that would make Dearka, or any other guy, proud. "It's so manly!"

"Seriously Milly, his driving? You're getting fanatical over the guy for his driving?" The next girl who sounded like Flay scoffed. "At least, I look at character. Yzak's so reliable it's ridiculously sexy. I love knowing he'll be waiting by my locker to drive me home after school on Monday to Wednesday."

"Hate to break it to you, Flay, but Athrun does that for me all the time. It's nothing special." Cagalli added.

"Hey, this is my Yzak we're talking about. Every little thing that he does is worth three times more than your suck up Athrun."

"Athrun's not a suck up! He just enjoys reminding me everyday that chivalry isn't dead!"

"For what's it worth. Kira's the sweetest guy I know. When we are on the phone late at night and I fall asleep, instead of hanging up, Kira would just fall asleep next to me." Lacus inserted.

"Athrun's a suck up and you know it."

"Okay, so what if he is? I love how Athrun would sometimes greet me from the kitchen door in his red-and-white-stripped professional home chef's apron with a home cooked meal whenever I head over. Now that's a man."

"Well, Kira always offers to repair stuff in my apartment. Kira's so talented and handy with the toolbox and yet he remains so humble about the whole thing. I believe that's pretty manly."

"Pft. Who needs home cooked meals or stuff fixed? What matters to me is that Dearka tells me I'm beautiful everyday."

"Yzak's stubborn, and though it can be annoying sometimes, it can also be cute."

"Kira never believes me when I say nothing is wrong."

"Well, Athrun puts our picture in his mobile!"

"Kira does that too."

"I love how Dearka's sense of humor is more perverse than mine."

"I love how Yzak can honestly tell me he likes my breasts."

"That's nothing. I love how cute Athrun's butt looks when he jogs!"

"Kira is-"

"Everyone stop." Miriallia interrupted with a sigh. "Arguing about our boyfriends like this is pointless. It's fairly obvious Dearka's the manliest out of the four because if the guys were to have a sexual relationship with each other, I bet Dearka would be on top of Kira, Athrun and Yzak!"

There came a strained pause...

"Oh yeah? well, in that case, Athrun would be on top of Kira and Yzak because Kira's way beyond kind and a cry baby. And Yz-"

"Actually, Cagalli, I disagree. Kira may cry a lot, but he is most certainly more sexually assertive then Athrun so Kira would definitely be the seme in the relationship. I mean, Kira has more porn and I have caught him..." Lacus hesitated over the right word. "fantasizing several times on his bed, in the bathroom, in front of the computer..."

Another boggling pause.

"Fine, Lacus, you made you're point." Cagalli's chair squeaked as the girl pushed back on it. "Athrun would still be on top of Yzak though. And so long as his on top of somebody, I'm good." Cagalli waved off causing Flay to gasp, defensively.

"Now wait just a minute. That's not fair. Yzak is-... Well Yzak-... his... umm...Fine! So Yzak's kind of an uke material, but that doesn't make him any less manly!"

00000

Hours later, back at the robotics lab.

Despite the black eye, the scrapes and the bruises Yzak gave them, the snickering didn't die down; Rusty and Nicol simply couldn't help themselves from suppressing laughter. What's worst- apparently Miguel was now in on the fun too, role-playing.

"Okay," Rusty continued. "And so Athrun's strong hold on his arms braced Yzak against the window frame. Yzak was too stunned to breathe, much less move."

"Yeah," Miguel snickered. "but suddenly Yzak grew aware that his hands rested on Athrun's shoulders, his fingers lightly clinging to him. He could feel the tension of firm muscle in response. Yzak let Athrun kiss him for an endless moment. Reality set in as the two were walked in by Kira and Dearka. Then they remembered where they were. In a hotel room."

"Oh. My turn again." Rusty signaled to Miguel. "Walking in on them, Kira's eyes pooled with tears at the sight of his lover cheating on him with Yzak. And so he goes: Athrun, how could you?"

Back to Miguel again. "And being the Casanova Athrun was, Athrun would say. Don't worry, Kira, we can always have a foursome."

"Because that's so incredibly sexy." finished Nicol. And again, all three broke into collective laughter through the strain of their stomach.

Halfway across the room within earshot, Athrun, Yzak, and Dearka threw daggers at Miguel, Rusty, and Nicol. Kira sobbed through the shame.

"I don't… wanna sob be manly..."

Tsch "And to think I used to call those bastards my friends." Dearka hissed venomously.

Having enough, "Fuck this! I will not be made fun of!" Yzak kicked-off from his station, ready to create havoc until goody-goody Athrun blocked his way.

"Yzak stop. You've already done enough damage..." Athrun said causing the lines on Yzak's forehead to deepened even further.

Athrun and Yzak rarely did see eye to eye. And, unfortunately for their laughing friends, it would seem- today was one of those few rare days because Athrun, the one usually with the rational head, had began rolling up his sleeves. "You had your turn so let me have mine."

Miguel, Rusty, and Nicol were dead men.

"Athrun!"

"Kira!"

"Athrun!"

Kira: (rips the script apart in frustration) "I'm not gay! Athrun probably is, but I'm not! Leave me alone!" (runs away crying)

/ side comment Dearka: Athrun likes boys?

/ side comment Yzak: I should have known.

Athrun: (flabbergast) Damn you Kira, I'm not gay!
