Chapter 2 - (Saturday)

Duo was not looking forward to spending the evening with Wufei's scary friends but he would be damned if he breathed a word about it or showed the smallest hint of negative emotions. He was going to go in there and be a good boyfriend, even if it killed him. And if the psycho killer had something to say about it, it just might.

They had decided to meet at the bus stop close to his street. Even after living in the city for a month he still couldn't find his way around very well so the less he had to wander around aimlessly the happier he was.

"Hey." Duo smiled when Wufei showed up next to him only to stare in horror a second later when he realized just what he was wearing. "Jesus! Aren't you cold?"

Wufei looked down on his short red skirt and his pantyhose covered legs that were barely surrounded by his long open coat.

"Not really." He said but Duo had already taken his gloves off, bending down to button up his coat.

The buttons were small and slippery and he grumbled as he fastened them. "I'm wearing three layers and I'm still freezing so don't you dare tell me that it's not cold."

As he straightened back up he realized that Wufei was a bit taller then he normally was. A glance downwards revealed that Wufei was wearing some kind of tall leather boots with soles the size of his hand.

Duo took a quick breath through his nose. He remembered very well the comment made about wanting to wear high heels to make kissing easier. Duo felt arousal grow just thinking about it.

Wufei smiled crookedly, tipping his head to the side to give him a coy look. "Am I presentable now?" His eyes were framed by a thicker layer of black paint than usual, making his eyes very intense and dark.

Duo was aware of the fact that his boyfriend was really beautiful and the whole outfit was, to put it frankly, sexy as hell. That and the smile, the teasing and the memory of making out against a brick wall did not help Duo to keep his hands to himself.

After a quick look around to make sure no one he knew was around, Duo wrapped an arm around Wufei and pulled him into a hug. "You always look good."

Wufei snorted into his chest. "Yeah right, you so haven't seen me first thing in the morning."

Raw desire twisted inside of him and Duo had to take a moment while he rejected the first couple of things that his mouth wanted to say. "I bet you look beautiful no matter what."

"We'll see."

Duo read a lot into that answer and he hugged his boyfriend closer. They didn't step away from each other until the bus stopped next to them.

They stepped on and took a seat far back. There were not a lot of people on the bus and Duo happily grasped Wufei's hand, leaning into his side. It felt nice to sit like this, watching the snow covered landscape drift by. Duo wanted to stay there and not get off to meet Wufei's intimidating friends. That would have been a perfect way to spend the day. But it was not to be.

Thank god they were going to Hilde's place where he was at least partly welcome.

Duo waited in dread for the ride to end.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

Hilde lived in a two story house with a huge yard in a nice area. It was pretty much as far away from Duo's area as one could come and still be in the same city. No trash on the ground, no graffiti, no political posters glued to everything. Yeah, this really wasn't Duo's neighborhood.

Wufei didn't stop to knock or ring the doorbell; he just opened the door and called out a 'Hey.' Duo followed reluctantly, feeling like he was stepping in to the wolf's den.

Wufei pulled him along into the house and over to the living room where several eyes looked over to them with various degrees of suspicion. Wufei started introducing him to his friends and Duo tried to remember their real names so he wouldn't accidentally call them any of the names he had made up for them.

Blue haired girl who digged him was named Hilde, which he already knew. Bushy hair girl who hated his guts was named Tiddy. The Psycho killer who wanted to kick his ass was named Jason. He had a vague memory of hearing that name while his life flashed before his eyes. The Cyclops who stared suspiciously was named Trowa. Girl without hair or eyebrows who was dating psycho killer was watching him curiously and was named Stacy. Guy who dressed like Dracula and was just as pale was named Eric. He was somehow related to Trowa but Duo hadn't paid attention enough to remember how. Quiet knife happy boy who seemed like he couldn't care less about anything was named Shawn.

Duo almost unconsciously tried to hide behind Wufei. He was going to have to agree with Quatre, Goths were fucking scary. Especially when they were looking at you with various amounts of suspicion. The girl with birds nest hair on the other hand was glaring at him with un-concealed hatred.

"Hey." Duo greeted them all shortly. He really did not want to be there. He hoped no one was going to try to talk to him because he just knew that he was going to end up stuttering if he tried to answer.

Wufei seemed totally oblivious to the fact that almost all his friends were staring at him. Duo on the other hand was very aware of it and stepped a little closer to his boyfriend's side.

Hilde was the only one genuinely happy to see him and she led him away to show him around. It was all he could do not to beg Wufei to come with him. He was given a quick tour of the bottom floor before he was led into the kitchen to help Hilde carry the snacks into the living room. Happy to be given a task so he wouldn't have to stand around like an idiot, Duo loaded up with bowls and coke bottles. During his second trip, Tiddy unexpectedly stepped in his way. She narrowed her eyes angrily, something that made the small black stars painted on her temple wrinkle. "I don't know what you and your friends are up to, but if you hurt Wufei you are dead."

Duo didn't really think that they would kill him… not really. Make him wish that he was dead maybe but not actively kill him. "I-" He started, words getting stuck in his throat.

The girl gave him one last glare before walking away.

Duo sighed sadly. This was not going well. He was so not leaving Wufei's side again.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

They took a seat in one of the smaller couches, the one standing a bit to the side so they would get a tiny bit of privacy and at the same time be able to see the television. It was dark in the room except for the glowing television and Wufei couldn't help but lean against Duo's side, happy when his boyfriend turned so that he could sit between his legs. Wufei had no idea what movie they were watching, all his attention was on the boy behind him. And the boy's hands.

Wufei decided that he was going to wear skirts more often. Especially if it got him this kind of attention.

Skirts usually ended up in the same category as dresses, lipstick and panties. Too feminine but thrillingly fun when you had the guts to wear them. He had spent a long time trying to decide what to wear. He had been in the mood for something outrageous, something that would make people question him, something that made them think and re-evaluate what they knew. He enjoyed shaking narrow mined people who were so stuck in their ways that they spent far too much of their time degrading people who were different.

Also, he wanted to look nice before Duo.

The choice had at first stood between skin tight leather pants with a silk shirt and the dress that he had gotten back from the dry cleaners. But he figured that the dress held a bit too many bad memories and to be truthful, leather pants with a silk shirt wasn't all that sexy. Most people looked like idiots in leather pants unless they were the type that used them often and were comfortable in them. Wufei wasn't one of them.

So the hunt had gone on, and on and on until the time was almost out and he was starting to panic. Then he had found the skirt. It was a short red thing with a black metal zipper all the way down the side. He had gotten it during a trip to visit his grandmother. The nice one, not the one who thought he was a Satanist. She used to work as a seamstress and had happily adjusted the waist on the skirt when he almost guiltily had presented it to her after a shopping trip. The skirt was in fact the first feminine piece of clothing he had ever bought. He had never had the courage to wear it. It had spent all it's time in a paper bag in the back of his closet, forgotten by everyone. Until now.

He had really gone all the way after deciding to wear the skirt. He had put on his best top, his coolest boots and an almost extreme amount of make up. He had been really nervous to see what Duo's reaction would be, unsure if he had gone too far. But Duo hadn't seemed to mind, too busy making sure that he wasn't cold. Wufei smiled just thinking about it. He might not be in love with the other boy but he felt a great deal of affection for him, an affection that kept growing. Especially when Duo was doing what he was doing now.

Duo was shyly brushing a fingertip against the edge of the skirt, barely touching the thin pantyhose. It wasn't much but it was enough to get Wufei's breathing to speed up.

'Don't get hard, don't get hard, don't get hard.' Wufei tried to order his body without success and an unmistakable tent was soon raised.

It was so embarrassing.

Just when he thought that he was going to die in humiliation, Duo clumsily pulled off his baggy sweater and spread it over his lap. "Don't want you to get cold." He mumbled softly with his eyes back on the television. He was blushing lightly as he stiffly shifted behind Wufei.

It appeared that Wufei wasn't the only one who was affected.

The movie played on. Most of the people in the living room were making fun of the dialog and Eric kept telling them to shut up because the good part was about to start. Wufei still hadn't figured out what movie they were watching.

Duo's thumb softly started stroking the inside of his elbow and Wufei's whole attention was on that slip of skin. Almost shyly, Duo's hand searched its way down his arm, petting the inside of his forearm. The thumb moved on stroking its way from the palm of his hand to his elbow and back down again. Then, on its way up, the back of Duo's hand accidentally stroked along his thigh. Wufei felt his breath catch and Duo quickly snatched his hand away. A mumbled apology and the hand was banished to the armrest

It frustrated Wufei. He didn't want an apology, he wanted more of that thrilling touch. Pulling Duo's hand back down to tell him that it was okay, he could touch him, he enjoyed it. Duo's hand slowly spread over his thigh, so hot it was almost burning.

Wufei softly sucked in air between his lips at the action. This was so the wrong place to do this but he didn't want to stop.

Wufei slowly put his own hand down on Duo's thigh, the one pressed up against the couch so no one could see him do it, just in case. He could hear Duo's breathing speed up behind him

Duo's warm touch against his leg was robbing him of all his concentration. Shy fingers drew patterns as they slowly searched their way down to his inner thigh. Wufei leaned back firmly, feeling that hard bump against his back. Duo was panting against his ear as his fingers seemed to almost nibble their way along the edge of the skirt, dipping in under the edge.

Then the movie came to an end and everyone started to stretch, refill the snacks bowls and argue over what movie to see next. Wufei tied the big sweater around his waist before grabbing a hold of Duo's hand and pulled him out the door.

He had been to Hilde's house countless of times and knew that there was a rarely used bathroom on the second floor. It was small but who cared when you got to stand really close to fit. They hurried up the stairs, Wufei pulling his boyfriend along until they reached the bathroom door. Swinging the door open the boys stumbled into the small room, closing and locking the door behind them.

Duo's hand found the back of his head, holding him as they started to kiss. Wufei just knew that the hand was messing up all the effort he had spent on making sure that his hair was perfect. He didn't care as he pushed a hand in under the baggy t-shirt, feeling the defined muscles under it. It felt like he knew about a hidden treasure that no one else could even dream about. Duo's legs were spread wide, letting him fit between them and Wufei used it to his advantage as he humped his boyfriend. Their hands wandered hungrily over each other, touching everything they could reach.

The sweater had fallen to his feet and his skirt was riding up around his waist, something that Duo fully took advantage of as he fondled his ass. Wufei had never been so horny in his life. He had the edge of Duo's boxers under his hand, not knowing what to do about it. He was so damn nervous! What if he wasn't any good and was this considered to be too early? They hadn't even been on a second date or maybe this was their second date or maybe you could even stretch it and let their lunch meetings in the cafeteria count because in that case they had been to six dates and then it would be okay to- to- oh god!

Duo's hand had found the edge of his pantyhose and was dragging them down.

Wufei decided that having a boyfriend rocked.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

Tiddy considered Wufei to be the kind of guy everyone should have as a best friend. He always looked out for you, always. He never took peoples shit, he always did what he thought was right, wanting there to be justice in everything around them. He was stubborn and proud but he was also an all around nice guy. His biggest flaw as Tiddy saw it was that he was too nice for his own good. He rarely beat his bullies up as much as he should have, he let his sister push him around and was kind to people who didn't deserve it. But worst of all, he had a big blind spot when it came to manipulative people.

Tiddy on the other hand could see clearly.

Duo was up to something, he just had to be. Guys like Duo didn't just suddenly go gay and want to date people like Wufei, it just didn't happen.

She didn't know what he was trying to accomplish, but she knew that it would end badly for Wufei, no matter what.

"He hardly said a word all night; he just loomed over Wufei like a fucking prison guard." She hissed angrily, kicking her heel back against the wall.

Trowa nodded. "It's a bit alarming that he wouldn't let Wufei out of his sight once." He tiredly rubbed a hand over his face. "Jason said that he had tried to talk to Wufei to see if he was okay but that the guy had hovered so much that he couldn't get a proper answer"

Tiddy sighed. "This is going to be so fucking bad." She could not believe that her friend had gotten himself into this mess. "Did you notice when they took off?"

Trowa shrugged. "No, but Jason said that they left in a hurry at the end of the first movie."

"Then did you see how the creep was acting when they got back?" Tiddy sneered. "It was fucking sick to see how he couldn't keep his hands to himself. That Wufei didn't fucking punch him was a miracle."

Trowa nodded in agreement. "I'm more worried over the fact that you couldn't hold Wufei's attention more then a minute before the guy was interrupting the conversation."

They both silently contemplated the situation.

"What do you think, is he gay or not?" She asked, kicking some dirty snow to the side.

Trowa thought for a moment "I don't know, Before today I would have said no but now… I don't know. He sure found every moment to be all over Wufei."

"If the guy actually is gay, which I doubt, he's sure as hell going to be a problem either way." Tiddy grumbled, a feeling of unease growing in her stomach.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

It was Sunday afternoon when they met again at the same bus stop as the day before. Duo quickly realized that he was in trouble. Wufei was wearing lipstick, ink black lipstick that made his brain short circuit. How the hell was he going to be able to focus on anything besides those lips?

"So... what do you want to do today?" Wufei asked as he walked up to him.

Duo shrugged awkwardly, trying not to stare. "I don't know... what do you want to do?"

Wufei's black painted lips twisted in an ironic smile. "I don't know. What do you want to do?"

Duo would have laughed, if it wasn't for the fact that he could not rip his eyes away from those lips. "Umm. If you want... you could come with me and find some shoes."

Wufei grinned. "So you finally figured out that sneakers aren't such a good idea in the middle of the winter?"

Duo snorted. "Oh, that I figured out the second I stepped off the plane, I just didn't have the money to buy them."

Wufei awkwardly spun a red streak of hair around his finger. "Oh..."

"It's no big deal and I was on my way but then-" He cut himself off as he remembered why his shoe shopping had been interrupted. "Never mind, I just haven't gotten around to it."

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

There were not a lot of stores open since it was Sunday but a couple of the bigger ones were. They ended up at one of the malls where a shoe store could be found on the top floor.

For some reason they didn't seem to be able to settle on a pair. The ones Duo liked, Wufei found boring. The ones Wufei liked were the ones that made Duo wrinkle his nose and shift his feet. In the end a pair of leather boots had been chosen. Duo liked them and Wufei found them to be acceptable but wishing that they would have been black instead of brown.

They walked aimlessly for a while until Wufei slowed down in front of a shop, flicking his head towards the dark sign outside the door. "Can we go in here for a moment? I want to see if they have gotten anything new."

Duo eyed the sign with the words 'The Darkening' with unease before nodding. "Okay."

Stepping into the small store was like walking into a cave. They left the sunny winter day behind and walked into a horror movie. The gothic clothing store was more than a little intimidating. The brick walls were painted in a dark blood red color while the floor once had been painted black but years of military boots and sharp high heels had worn it down, making the gray concrete color show. Why they even had a window when they did not allow any sun shine to come through was a mystery. Something that sounded like opera with electric guitars thrown in was booming out of the speakers and the dark clothes hung like corpses along the walls. Duo decided to stick close to Wufei.

He felt tall and awkward. Not to mention very out of place in his blue jeans and baggy winter jacket. Wufei on the other hand fit in like the store had been made just for him.

Duo ducked his head to get through a doorway leading in to a, if possible, darker room that was filled with even more hanging corpses with a bit more leather on them.

In the far corner stood a cash register, painted black and silver in a way that was probably meant to look like a coffin. The store keeper, a short busty girl with short pink hair and more piercings than should be possible greeted Wufei by name.

Wufei smiled. "Hey Jo, anything new?"

"Sure. Haven't unpacked everything yet but check out the clothing rack by the dressing room, there are a couple of wicked pants there."

"Great." Wufei turned and walked further into the store. Duo followed wordlessly, giving everything around him a wide eyed look.

"What do you think about these?" Wufei asked when they reached the right rack, holding out a pair of baggy black pants with several silver zippers. "Think they will fit me?"

"Yeah sure." Duo said, trying not to look at the underwear section next to him. The fantasy of Wufei in a thong was dancing at the edge of his mind but he pushed it back to be used at a later time.

"There's a pair in red too." Wufei mumbled, holding out the two pants next to each other. He walked past Duo to stand in front of the mirror in the empty dressing booth, only to pause when he got a look at himself. "God, I totally forgot I was wearing this." Wufei laughed, giving Duo a shy look. "Tiddy used me as a guinea pig." He fished a rumpled napkin out of one of his coats many pockets.

"No!" Duo protested just as Wufei was about to wipe the dark color off his lips. Wufei blinked in surprise.

"Don't, it looks good on you."

Wufei glanced at himself in the mirror before looking back at him. "You think?"

"Yeah."

"I don't look too girly?"

Duo shook his head, fighting down the overwhelming blush.

Wufei rubbed his lips together for a moment, making the small bead piercing his bottom lip shift before turning towards him. "Ever kissed someone wearing lipstick?"

Duo shook his head again, hopelessly losing against the rising color on his face.

A slim finger beckoned him downwards and Duo followed as if in a trance.

Wufei's lips were slick and soft against his own and Duo dived right in. He was vaguely aware that Wufei had pulled the door of the dressing room closed behind them. The tall boots made a really big difference but Duo still had to put a hand up against the wall of the fitting room to hold himself up. One of Wufei's hands worked its way in under his jacket and around his waist. Duo wanted to touch too, but he didn't know how or where, his hands were sweaty and he didn't want to get it on Wufei. His hands hovered uncertainly over the black shape in front of him before slowly lowering them down on Wufei's back.

Feeling a bit more bold he put a bit more pressure on them. Wufei made a low pleased sound that made a shiver run down his back. Lips danced sloppily over each other and inexperienced tongues wrestled. Duo swore that kissing Wufei got hotter every time and that he really wished that they were somewhere a bit more private.

With one last kiss, Wufei pulled back and Duo had to stop himself from following him.

"You look like something out of a horror movie." Wufei laughed. Duo turned slightly, looking at his reflection in the mirror. The paint was smeared nearly all over and around his lips.

"You are not looking much better." Duo smiled, putting a finger up against Wufei's lips, painting a black line as he dragged it down over his chin.

Wufei steeped up next to him, turning until they both stood facing the mirror, looking at the black mess on their faces. "We look insane." Wufei declared before once again fishing up the napkin out of his pocket, motioning Duo to lean down. "God, lipstick is hard to get off." Wufei muttered as he wiped furiously on Duo's lips.

Duo happily stood still under the attention, waiting until his boyfriend was done.

Wufei also managed to fix his make up until it was acceptable before shooing him out of the dressing room so that he could try on the pants and a couple of other things he had found.

Duo stood outside, awkwardly shifting his feet as he was shot some curious looks by a gang of gothic shoppers. He really didn't fit in there.

"Get me a bigger size of this would you." Wufei called out, throwing a long sleeved black sweater up on the door.

"Sure." Duo took a look around the store trying to remember where Wufei had found it. An amused look and a helpful pointing finger from the shopkeeper helped him find it and he soon returned.

"Thank you." Were the soft rewarding words as he lifted the bigger size over the door.

"You're welcome. Do I get to see it on?" He asked, a bit curious how the strangely shaped top was supposed to be worn.

A couple of silent seconds later, the door opened and Duo got to peek in.

"Nice." He said, taking in the shape fitted sweater. It had a wide neckline that left Wufei's right shoulder bare while the left bottom side was hanging low, reaching almost all the way down to Wufei's knees.

"Yeah, but it's a bit expensive." Wufei sighed, looking down at the tag hanging off it.

"Oh." Duo ducked back out again as Wufei started trying out the next outfit.

He waited patiently, hoping that he wouldn't have to come a long on too many shopping trips. It was kind of fun and really nice to see Wufei all dressed up, but still, shopping. Not his favorite past time.

"What do you think?" Wufei's voice brought his attention back and he opened the dressing room door to poke his head in.

Duo let his eyes wander from the black high heeled boots, up over the black pantyhose, the wide Lolita skirt and to the tight vest. "You look-" Duo swallowed awkwardly with 'fuckable' on the tip of his tongue. "-really nice."

Wufei smiled widely and said something but Duo was too busy imagining lifting that skirt up to reach what was underneath to really pay attention.

"Not too girly?" Wufei asked, giving him a hopeful look.

Duo shook his head. "Not too girly at all." He took a step closer, making the door swing closed behind him. "How come you started dressing like..." He made a vague motion with his hand towards the rest of the store.

Wufei made a thoughtful noise, giving himself a look in the mirror. "It's about making a statement. That I'm not going to follow their stupid rules about how to act and look. I'm not a slave to their trends. I don't care what they think about my ideas and values. I rule my life and nothing is going to change my mind... that and I like my clothes."

"Oh... I like your clothes too." Duo mumbled shyly, reaching out to finger the black lace on Wufei's skirt.

Wufei grinned. "Do you want to try? Come on, it will be fun."

Duo hoped that Wufei would never realize just how much influence his painted lips had on his resolution. "Okay."

Wufei grinned happily and it didn't take long before Duo was the one standing in the changing room and Wufei was the one throwing clothes over the changing room door.

Duo reluctantly stepped into a pair of leather pants. Or tried to. "Um, I think these are too tight." He said as he tried to get the black pants up his thighs.

Wufei snickered. "Probably not, they should be really tight."

Duo cursed quietly, trying a method of jumping and pulling that seemed to give result.

He finally managed to get the pants on after sucking in his stomach and wondering if you could cut off the blood flow in your dick enough for it to fall off. The second part of the outfit was a 'Gothic Aristocrat Mandarin Military Shirt' as the label in the back proudly proclaimed. Duo felt like an idiot in the form fitting white shirt with the obscenely high collar and two rows of black buttons down his chest. But he still opened the door for his boyfriend.

Wufei snickered when he saw him.

"Oh ha-ha." Duo grumbled in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry." Wufei laughed, hiding his smile behind his hand. "But you just look so awkward."

"Yeah." Duo felt very awkward too and he really wanted to get out of these pants.

Wufei sighed softly. "It's okay, you don't have to wear it. Just change back. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

"You didn't." Duo denied but Wufei gave him a look that just screamed that he did not believe him. "Or maybe just a little bit. This just... isn't my style. It looks great on you, really great, but... just not on me." He pulled on the high collar.

He was given a soft smile and a finger beckoned him downwards. "Well I think you look very handsome." Wufei said before giving him a rewarding kiss. A kiss that went on and on and made the threat against his dicks survival even more serious.

"You are not having sex in there are you?" The shop keepers teasing voice called out from the other side of the door.

Duo pulled back, feeling mortified.

Wufei just rolled his eyes and petted his chest in comfort. "Ha-ha, funny Jo."

The woman just laughed then they heard her high heels walking away.

Two seconds later they were kissing again.
