Title: More Than Enough Love. -Chapter 14
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 is growing more and more confused because of this weird, overly affectionate group.
Wu Fei's shower took longer than he would have liked, but he kept getting lost in thought. He kept thinking about what Duo had told him about Joes and his past, and about what he might have meant by the group taking care of him for selfish reasons. Coming to no conclusions, he finally got out. Drying off, he turned to look at himself in the mirror. Glaring at his reflection, Wu Fei studied his bruises, trying to asses how long each would last.
Getting dressed, he was happy to be wearing his own clothes again. Slightly too long white pajama pants and a navy blue tank top. Pulling out his small brush from his duffel bag, he brushed his hair back before using the hair elastic Duo gave him to pull it back in a loose rat-tail. Staring at himself in the mirror again, he could just imagine what would be said if he were back with his clan. His soon to be bride would complain he was weak to be overcome by a few commoners.
Making his way back to the living room, he realized he didn't know what room was Duo's, and he wasn't going to search around for it, especially not with Howard and Duo being out back. Setting his duffel bag in front of the couch, then sitting down on the plush seating, he searched through the bag to see everything in it. A small smile took over his lips as he pulled out a book of legends and myths. The best part of the book was that each legend and myth were written in the language that the story originated in.
Before he could open the excessively thick book, Duo walked in. The braided boy had changed into overalls that had definitely seen better days, and he had grease all over him. The American grinned as he noticed Wu Fei trying not to stare at him. Walking towards the bathroom, Duo called out to Wu Fei. "My room is the one when you go down the hall passed the kitchen.. Its the last door, the first one is Howard's little office.. I think its booby trapped, so be careful passing his door. Make yourself comfy in my room."

"Boy, does a hot shower feel great... Hey, wanna play-" Duo paused when he saw the sight of Wu Fei. The Chinese boy was curled on his side, book out in front of him, as if Wu Fei had been on his stomach reading. Some of the damp black hair was loose and across the boy's cheek, his breathing slow and shallow from sleep. Duo smiled and felt content to just stand there and watch the other sleep. Wu Fei was just beyond adorable.
After standing there for a few minutes, Duo moved to the bed and picked up the book. Using the little string book-marker, he marked the page and closed it, setting it on the bedside table. Tossing his towel over the back of his computer chair, he moved to his dresser and pulled out some camouflage boxers and pulled them on. Checking his hair, making sure that it wasn't too damp, he tried to decide on if he should wear a shirt or not.
Choosing not to change his normal habits for a guest, he moved to the bed. Wu Fei was facing the wrong way, so Duo knelt on the bed next to the other. Not wanting to wake Wu Fei if he could avoid it, Duo slipped an arm under Wu Fei's shoulders as he leaned over him. Pulling the lithe body up a little to his own, Duo slowly turned towards the head of the bed, pausing only to use a leg to pull Wu Fei's lower body towards the foot of the bed, so as not to bend the boy in half.
Finally getting Wu Fei laying towards the head of the bed, Duo leaned back to smile. He actually was surprised the Wu Fei hadn't woken up, since the boy was a trained martial artist. He remembered when he tried to move Heero once while he was sleeping. Heero had woke up the moment Duo got within a few inches of him. Getting up from the bed, he pulled the blankets from under Wu Fei, then curled up next to the boy and covered the both of them.
When Wu Fei curled into him, Duo groaned at the realization this was going to be hard sleeping next to someone that he had to resist touching. Deciding to take his chances, Duo leaned in for a small kiss. When Wu Fei didn't wake up or make a sound of displeasure, Duo deepened the kiss some. When Wu Fei whimpered, Duo pulled back and closed his eyes, knowing he needed to resist and not cause problems.

Wu Fei woke up to the sound of grumbling and quiet cursing. Looking towards the noise, he saw Duo brushing his hair, just wearing his uniform pants and the undershirt with the button up shirt open, his blazer was on the foot of the bed. Duo seemed to be fighting a huge knot at the back of his head. When the American turned to see him awake, the Chinese boy did something he wasn't sure why he did. "Need help?"
"Oh, that would be amazing if you could. I really need to be going, I'll be late if it takes me much longer... and not to mention I have to stop by Heero's.." Duo held out the brush as he spoke, sitting on the edge of the bed when Wu Fei took the brush. When Wu Fei began to section the long brown mess, Duo gave a small moan of happiness. "Gotta take Ryoushi home, at least Heero's is on the way to school... Oh.. yeah.. Zechs will be here to pick you up soon.. He has the day off, so he'll take care of you, even if Trowa and Hilde want to.. Heh... Oh.. I think you'll get to spend some time with Treize today as well.. Dunno..."
Duo yelped as Wu Fei sectioned the brown mess again, pulling on a knot accidentally. A small frown creased Wu Fei's features and he carefully used the brush to pick out hairs that he could from the knot. Once he was able to get a small fist full of the hair separate, he started brushing the section thoroughly. That was how he continued for five minutes, til he effectively had all the knots out of Duo's hair. He watched as Duo sectioned the long locks and braided the plait.
Duo smiled as he fastened off his braid, he had really enjoyed Wu Fei carefully and precisely brushing his hair. Standing and turning around, he grabbed his blazer and pulled it on. Leaning in, Duo kissed Wu Fei on the cheek lightly, grinning when the boy blushed brightly. "Thanks for helping me.. I gotta go, but I put your left overs in a bowl in the fridge.. since all that is in there is your food and water jugs and bottles, its not locked... You can have a bottle of water, also.. so don't worry about Howard freaking out, he wont."
Before Wu Fei could reply, Duo walked out, grabbing his backpack on the way out. Bringing a hand to his cheek, he couldn't stop blushing. This group was really weird, and it was confusing him to no end. Taking a calming breath, he got off the bed and moved to his duffel bag and picked clothes for the day, he did not want to spend another day in pajamas. One question kept repeating in his head. "Why do they keep kissing me?"
/
A knock on the door brought Wu Fei back to awareness and out of the book. He looked around for a second, remembering where he was. Seeing Howard go to the door to look through the peep hole, Wu Fei got up and put the empty bowl in the sink. Moving to grab his duffel bag and put his book in it, he looked to the door, which Howard had open a bit and was talking through the crack. Wu Fei smiled, enjoying Duo's uncle's paranoid actions.
"Hello Wu Fei... Ready to go?" Zechs asked from the now fully opened door. Howard had stepped back, apparently waiting to be able to lock the door again. Zechs moved to take the duffel bag from Wu Fei as the boy approached the door. Smiling, Zechs took the bag to his car while Wu Fei said goodbye to Howard. When Wu Fei made his way to the car, Zechs locked the gate and opened the passenger door for Wu Fei.
Getting in the driver's door, Zechs looked to Wu Fei. Reaching out, he lightly ran a fingertip across one of Wu Fei's brow lines, touching the edge of the bruising. "They are already healing.. that is good.. I do hate to point it out, but Quatre thinks you need some medicine.. He gave me some and told me to try and get you to use at least the salves.. They will help you heal better, as well as be of some temporary relief... I can imagine some things still hurt badly."
Wu Fei sighed at the thought that they were still going to keep offering medicine. He really did not like relying on medicine, but maybe he would agree just to get them to stop worrying so much. When Zechs started the car and drove, Wu Fei looked out the window. He was happy when the ride was in silence, it let him have time to think without getting lost in a book or listening to someone talk.
Zechs decided he'd take Wu Fei out to the park for a peaceful time outdoors. Glancing at the Oriental, he had to bite his lip a little to not say anything. Wu Fei was wearing fitted jeans with a dragon design up the outside of his left thigh, a dark red short sleeve shirt, and gray sash tied around his waist so that the loose material hung down his right leg. Not to mention his black Chinese slippers that made the outfit look less westernized. Wu Fei looked great, even with the few bruises on his arms and face, at least the swelling had gone down mostly. Only thing that bugged Zechs was that the sash hid Wu Fei's butt, but that might just be why Wu Fei wore it.
While driving, Zechs would glance at Wu Fei every now and then. Not only was he having fun watching the boy, he was making sure that things weren't going to get to stressful for him. Heero had pointed out that on the walk to his house Wu Fei would get tense every now and then, most likely from the uncertainty of the whole situation. Zechs was determined to make Wu Fei feel more comfortable.
/
When they got to the park, Zechs had been a little surprised when Wu Fei actually looked excited. They had found a good spot in the shade near the pond, where Wu Fei preferred to sit on the grass rather than a bench. Most of the two hours they spent there were in silence, though Zechs had talked about the group, as much as he felt was right for him to talk about right then. Wu Fei actually responded with questions, and a little about himself, but nothing majorly revealing, to Zechs disappointment.
As they were leaving, Zechs asked Wu Fei if he'd like to stop at a cafe and eat. Wu Fei refused, only wanting to get somewhere he could rest. Most people would probably wonder why he was so tired, but Wu Fei understood. His body was using all its strength in trying to repair the damage caused by the attack. He understood his body enough to know that he would probably be tired for another day or two, since he refused medicine.
With a bit of sadness that the morning out together was ending, Zechs agreed and drove them to Quatre's. He explained that his own home would be busy with business people since there was a meeting going on there. He pointed out that he actually lived at Quatre's almost as much as his own home, since it was actually Relena's adoptive mother's home. That had confused Wu Fei, since Zechs said she wasn't his adoptive mother though.

Once they made it to Quatre's, Zechs led Wu Fei up to his bedroom, rather than the spare bedroom Wu Fei had used before. Inside the room, Zechs motioned towards the large bookcase. "You can make yourself at home... If you like, you can read any book I have, and all you need to do is ask if you want anything to eat or drink.. Quatre does not like the use of maids or butlers, so right now, I am the only person here other than guards."
Wu Fei set his duffel bag down next to the bed. Making his way over to the bookcase, he looked over the books. He felt Zechs move up behind him, tensing as the taller man stood almost against his back. When Zechs's hand moved past him to touch a book, he blinked and looked up at the man's face. "This book is my favorite.. There is a story in it that makes me think of you..."
Zechs smiled when Wu Fei blushed. Pulling the book out and setting it in Wu Fei's waiting hand, Zechs stepped back some. Looking towards the door, the blond thought for a moment. "Excuse me.. I think I'll go get the medicine, Quatre wants me to.. entice you to use... I think I would rather attempt to persuade you to use them, rather than face Quatre being upset that I did not even try... Enjoy the book."
Heh... I think this was a good chapter, even if it was mostly a filler chapter... The next chapter will be nice and lemony, so enjoy if you like lemons. This wasn't my original plan for a lemon, but I think it will be much better for the storyline than my original. It will be more likely this way also, the other way would have been a little awkward...
OH! I thank you all for your reviews, they made me so happy. It also helped me write this chapter faster.
Alice Vice ~ I am really happy you enjoyed it. ^_^ *Enjoys review cookie*
LionsChild ~ Hehe, well, he is a life saving dog. ^_~
I am glad that the Duo/Joes thing is getting that kind of reaction, that was what I was aiming for.
Heh, when it gets a little more into it, Wu Fei will also voice his curiosity, so that way it will be clarified. ^_^
Seneschal ~ I am excited that it made your day better, getting reviews from my awesome readers makes my day better, even to the point of making me giddy, which I was when I got on and found three reviews. Also, I think your reviews are great, you don't have to review every single chapter, just knowing you like the story is great. ^_^
Well, as for Duo, yes, the thing with Joes was sad, and a horrible thing.. but think about it, he's got great friends to take care of him.. and when it gets to the part where relationships are explained, it will show how amazing things are for Duo now.
I also thought about Ryoushi going after Mikey, but then I remembered, he's a life saving dog, most of them won't go on offense, only defense. At least, the ones I worked with during their training were like that.
Aww, thank you, I try my best... I hope once I get a chance for things to span out a little more for each character.. and I am happy you like how I have Howard.. he is fun to work with.. and he makes me think of my favorite uncle.. (my uncle actually is why I am a paranoid person, lol)
Heh, right now there is little interaction with Trowa, but wait.. you will be happy.. I do foresee plenty of happy people when relationships form or become obvious. ^_^
Also, Quatre will always feel there was something he could have done, but I do think things will make him feel better as more is revealed.
