Title: More Than Enough Love. -Chapter 13
Author: The Phoenix
Rating: NC - 17 (For later on)
Pairings: Uhm, heh.
Warnings: Somewhere along the line, this fic will display my personal views on love (and maybe life)... So be warned that there will be completely unconventional ideals of love, as well as some dark moments, like major depression and sadness. There may even be some really disturbing, heart-twisting moments. I will do my best to make certain chapters skip-able for those who don't want to read stuff like that (as in I will make sure the chapter only revolves around that one scene, and is mentioned in passing in later chapters)...
Disclaimer: I don't own the G-boys...I only lay claim on my mind and the characters I make up, but all the G-boys (and G-girls) are not mine... So yea... Don't sue me. ^_^

Summary/Notes: Wu Fei learns about Duo, even if some of it he doesn't want to learn.

Wu Fei stood on Heero's porch with Aoi and Catherine, waiting for Duo to join them. He kept himself turned away from Aoi some, not wanting her to worry about his bruises and cuts, though he was sure she had seen them last night. If she had noticed and was worried, she didn't say anything about it. She only mentioned how she was glad to have met a new friend of Heero's, even if Wu Fei had slept all day and skipped school.

He didn't very much like the idea that he was once again going to walk around in just pajama pants and a tank top, but he wanted to shower before putting on anything clean. Wu Fei then wondered how far it was to Duo's, hoping it wasn't that far since walking had hurt excessively before. Soon, Duo walked out with Trowa and Heero, then Wu Fei realized that Duo held a leash connected to Ryoushi.

Duo grabbed Wu Fei's duffel bag and slipped the strap onto his shoulder before leading the Chinese teen down the steps. He turned back to blow a kiss at those on the porch before waving and leading Wu Fei down the road, Ryoushi content to lazily walk on the other side of Wu Fei from Duo. The braided American made sure to keep the pace calm, but not prolonging the time more than necessary.

"Ryoushi came to protect you." Duo commented when Wu Fei kept glancing at the waist-high dog. A small nod was his response, which made him wonder exactly how Wu Fei felt about the large dog coming with them. "Oh.. You know... Ryoushi is a certified care dog? He can help blind people and save you from fires or whatever... Also, he doesn't fight, but he can easily stop another animal... Heero's dogs are amazing, but not anything like what Trowa lives with.."

Wu Fei looked at him in confusion, what could be more than Heero's dogs? Deciding to ignore it for now, he listened to Duo ramble on about anything and everything, and while annoying, he was glad for the distraction from his accident. Wu Fei soon learned that Duo couldn't stay on one topic for very long, mainly because it seemed the boy wasn't even paying attention to what was coming out of his own mouth, meaning it was all for the sake of distraction.

Loud growling was the first warning Wu Fei and Duo got. They looked up to see something that had Wu Fei stepping back, only to be stopped because of the leash across his back. There was the Rottweiler and teen from the attack. The boy came closer, stopping so that his dog couldn't get within two feet of Wu Fei and Duo. "Hey Chink... Shi, I thought you were over your Oriental tastes, since I saw you with that tall blond."

"Shove it, Mikey... Go blow Joes..." Duo snapped, having an air about him the made Wu Fei freeze. He was no longer that goofy, talkative boy from a moment ago, but more of a dark, gruff, angered man. Duo was glaring at the teen with the Rottweiler, knuckles turning white as he gripped the leash, trying to remain calm. "Get before this turns ugly, since now your in my territory."

"Hmph." Mikey sneered, then made a motion as he looked to his hand, drawing their attention to the leash just as he let it go. As the black and brown dog lunged at Wu Fei, Duo brought his hand up, whipping the leash over the black haired boy. Ryoushi practically tackled the Rottweiler, pinning the dog that was only about half his size. Ryoushi's large mouth encased the smaller dog's, teeth pressing into the skin, but not puncturing. The Rottweiler whimpered and just laid their, knowing it was beat.

Wu Fei took a few steps back, eyes wide as he stared at the two dogs. Duo, though, moved forward, fist slamming into Mikey's jaw. He looked completely enraged and ready to kill the other boy. Mikey fell back, staring in shock, then quickly recovered and grabbed his dogs leash. Jumping up, he pulled the smaller dog with him and Ryoushi just let the Rottweiler go. Duo looked back to Wu Fei with a small happy smile, the duffel bag still over his shoulder, making the Chinese youth wonder how it didn't hinder the American.

"Hey.. It's okay.. Mikey's one of the only ones dumb enough to come head on.." Duo grinned and motioned for Wu Fei to come ack between him and Ryoushi. When the Oriental boy didn't move right away, Duo sighed and looked down. When Wu Fei finally did move up to walk with him, Duo nodded. "I'll admit.. I brought Ryoushi because I saw Mikey earlier... I just hoped he would confront us.. We'll be there is no time, so lets go.."

Reaching one of the only fenced yards, probably the only one with a metal security fence, Duo stopped. It was almost an hour long walk since they had run into Mikey, so Wu Fei was pretty sore. Pulling out a key, Duo unlocked the gate padlock, then pushed the gate open and let Ryoushi loose into the yard. Duo then led Wu Fei in, after locking the gate of course, and up to the front door. He tried the door, to find it also locked. Kicking the door some, he really wished he had a key. "Howard! It's me, don't be so paranoid!"

Soon enough, the door opened, revealing a man in his late forties, staring at them with some disbelief. After a short moment, he stepped out of the way, opening the door all the way. "Duo.. It surprising to see you home.. And.. you've.. brought a friend.. Hmm.. I've never seen him before, pretty boy though.. other than the bruises and cuts...What happened to him, looks like he got into a fight... What's up?"

Wu Fei blinked at the vast emotions and questions from the older man. It was as if he were an older Duo, since it seemed his mouth worked separate of what he actually seemed to be doing. The Chinese youth felt as though he were being studied as Duo led him in and towards the couch. He felt on edge, since Howard was also acting on edge, making him completely unsure of this situation.

"Howard.. That's Chang Wu Fei.. He's a new student on behalf of his clan.. or something like that." Duo grinned as he dropped the duffel bag on the floor in front of the couch. He then went to the kitchen, to check about food, figuring Wu Fei would be hungry since he only ate once, from what Trowa said. "Hey.. How long has it been since you went shopping? Its bare in here... I guess we'll have to order in.. Damn, you being paranoid is so troublesome."

"Hey.. I'm Duo's uncle.." Howard smiled at Wu Fei before heading into the kitchen with the braided teen. They talked in hushed voices that Wu Fei actually couldn't hear, so he let his eyes slide closed. Wu Fei was nearly asleep when the sound of something banging and a yelp of surprise shocked him from his rest. "Joes? Fucker."

After a short moment of some more quiet arguing, Duo moved to stand in front of Wu Fei. He smiled sweetly, holding out two take-out menus, one for a Chinese place, the other for an Indian place. "Howard doesn't like going out in public, so there is no food... Which would you prefer, some Indian food.. or some Chinese to feel more at home? I wanted to give you an option, rather than just being an assuming ass and pick Chinese to start with."

Wu Fei, Duo, and Howard sat on the living room floor, around the small coffee table, eating and talking. Well, Wu Fei listened while Duo and Howard talked about anything and everything they could. "Oh oh oh... Did you know, Quatre gets to finally take over the company in a couple months.. He just has to wait for his birthday... Who ever knew the baby not only of his family, but of our group, could be such well known CEO.."

"Oh, that sounds amazing... You guys still going to be able to hang out? That would suck major monkey balls if not... I mean. it was when you started hanging out with him that you became a better you.." Howard commented before stuffing over half an egg roll in his mouth and chewed. He made sure not to stare at Wu Fei, even though he was really interested in learning about the Oriental.

"Oh... Wu Fei doesn't speak much English.. so.. he's not going to contribute much... but it makes me wonder how much he understands... since he rarely seems confused or lost." Duo grinned when Wu Fei gave him a look of disinterest. Wu Fei wasn't fond of being spoke of like he wasn't there, but at least they weren't questioning him. "Oh, Howard.. now that you mention that... Quatre totally went hen-overload when he learned Joes was at it again.."

"Man, that fucker Joes better watch his ass... Someone is going to turn the tables on him one day... and I hope its you and your friends, Duo.. I mean, who is going to have a problem with it, especially since nobody will want to fuck with a group that has a Winner and two Peacecrafts, especially if that group is doing a great thing for the community.." Howard muttered, even though the other two heard him perfectly fine. He decided to remain silent, since his anger was building, and there was no need to get angry in front of a guest.

"Hey, Wu Fei... You can take a shower after dinner... Howard and I usually go and work out back for a while, so you'll have some privacy." Duo smiled when Wu Fei nodded. He was happy that the smaller teen was not as tense as he had been. He was dreading telling the other that they would have to share a bed. Just because Wu Fei agreed to it at Heero's didn't mean he would at Duo's. Well, at least with tonight the group would get a bit of insight into the tug they all felt, and see if it was what they thought.

"Thank you... For it all..." Wu Fei commented without looking up from his food. He flinched a bit when Duo cooed about his cute accent. Sighing, he tried to eat more of his dinner, though he wasn't feeling very hungry. He glanced up to see that Duo must have been done for a little while, and Howard was finishing his last couple bites. Looking down, he bit his bottom lip lightly. He had only eaten about half of his food and couldn't eat much more.

Wu Fei stood in the bathroom, staring at the mirror as he leaned on the sink. He ignored the fact that this bathroom was nearly half the size of the one at Heero's, and not even a third of the size of the one at Quatre's. Currently, he was preparing for a shower, and avoiding Duo's comments about him not eating enough. Huffing, he looked away from his bruised and battered reflection. Damn, he really wanted the signs to go away.

There was a knock on the door and he turned to see Duo stepping into the room. When the braided boy grinned, Wu Fei glanced to the floor, steeling himself. He had a few questions for Duo, but wasn't sure the other teen would be okay with him asking. Duo seemed to sense the tension, so he moved over to lean against the counter next to Wu Fei. "What's up? You look curious."

"Oui... Why?" Wu Fei looked to Duo, completely confused as to why Duo was helping him. Glancing to the door, he absently wondered if it locked, since it seemed even the cabinets and the fridge even had locks on them. With that minor amusing tidbit, he glance to the glass door of the shower stall, just checking to see if it locked. No, but it would have been interesting if it did. Maybe Howard was paranoid someone would lock him in the shower to suffocate.

"Why are we helping you?.. Why do I hate Joes?... Why am I so devilishly good looking?" Duo snickered when Wu Fei blushed. Shaking his head a bit, he smiled. "Well... We are helping you for a selfish reason, believe it or not... but honestly, its not my place to tell you, its a group thing... As for Joes... I used to be his toy.. When I first moved him to live with Howard.. I ran with his gang for a while... Til I met Zechs and Quatre.. flipped my life around."

Duo sighed and let his head loll back a little as he tried not to remember the past too much. "For a while, I was his toy, just wanting to feel needed or wanted, not caring... Then I met Zechs when I got sent to the Dean, he saved me from expulsion.. Then he made me go to dinner with him and Quatre... I never talked to Joes again... Then one day, he went after Quatre... I got in the way so Quat' could escape, but he beat and raped me... nearly killed me.."

Wu Fei stared at Duo, eyes wide. He hadn't expected anything so horrible, let alone Duo to actually tell him. At least he knew why everyone was so excessively angered at Joes. He had little anger for the man himself, more upset at the event instead. Wu Fei viewed it as pointless to be so focused on something that was incurable, but the other did seem to have good cause. He blinked when Duo held out a black hair elastic, then watched the other set it on the counter.

"Quatre is in turmoil, thinking its his fault... Even after so long, he feels that if he hadn't wanted to walk to the park, I wouldn't have had to protect him from Joes, and that would never have happened... I try to reassure him that shit happens, you just gotta deal, get over it, and live... Now.. He fears that you getting attacked could have been prevented if he had walked you home.. He will probably go completely mother hen on you, since he's tired of people he cares about getting hurt... Just bare with him, please.."

Duo took a breath, only to find Wu Fei looking confused. He decided just to let Wu Fei think on it and let the boy shower. Reaching out, Duo caught the curtain of black hair and brushed it back, leaning in to press a light kiss to Wu Fei's temple. Leaving the Oriental teen there, staring. Locking the door, Duo leaned against the thick door and sighed, fighting down all that burning anger at Joes.

Okay... So I think this chapter turned out a little longer than I thought... but heh, works for me... Hmm.. the next chapter was originally planned as a lemon (not 2x5 so heh, can you guess?), but I have changed my mind to wait for another chapter or two.. so, I'm sorry if this taking forever, but the story keeps getting more intricate as I go, lol... I have a complete outline of what I want to happen, but I have to keep going to that list and add in things as I go..

Oh, yes, there is the basic Duo/Joes story... I may go into it more if it comes up with Quatre... Oh, if there is anything you are curious about that hasn't been covered completely, just point it out, and I will do what I can, sometimes I forget that you all can't read my mind about what I'm thinking when I write, lol.

Sakurazu - Hi hi. ^_^ I am so happy to get a review, I have been a little starved of those, I think that's why it took me so long to get this chapter out.. I usually get stuff written faster...
Hehe, I love 1x5, can't go wrong with two hot Oriental boys... Oh, about the pairings.. heh, I was hoping it would be a little confusing... That is to help break conventional views of love, so that one I get into detail about the actual pairings, things fall into place... Though I do hope you enjoy the pairings when they are explained. ^_^
Oh yes, I actually working on a 1x5, but its going to be a rollercoaster.. I'd love to hear from you once I get that one going.
