Disclaimer: I own nothing. Not even the computer I'm now actually.

Note:1) Sometimes it takes a well aimed smack in the head to knock some sense into people, so thank you Blair, Akennea and evrybody else for staying number one and for knocking some sense into me and all you other reviewers who pushed me forward. I realized that it made no sense for me to sit and whine about not having the internet, and how I can't write now because that's no excuse. So I got off my lazy behind and got a ten pack of storage disks and here we are. Took me a week and a lot of Starbucks but I made it through. I wanted to get this about before exams, which is in a few weeks and I have been falling back in my classes (curse the man who invented math!).

2)I know this is long over due but her it is, the long awaited chapter- eight is it?- or is it nine?- I don't know. Which ever chapter it is it's here so please enjoy.

3) I had hoped to get this to you guys before the new year but time wasn't one my side and I had many touch ups to make before the final result. Anway after five, yeah count um, five re-writes I give you chapter 7 (Or somthin'). HAPPY NEW YEAR! I chould have the next chapter my Monday, next Friday at the latest.

4) After many a trial and error my internet is back on, for how long I have no idea, but its here now so lets make the best of it. By the way I tried posting this like a month ago and every single place I went to said no they can't except the disk because it might have viruses. Bull! Even my frickin Library turned me down and my school only takes floppy disks.

CHAPTER 7????

There was nothing worse then the deafening blare of a cell phone ringing in Wufei's ear when he was trying to sleep. Groaning Wufei turned over once again and clamped his pillow over his head in desperation. But the offensive ringing went on unheeded until Shadow that, the poor baby, whined piteously beside Wufei. Angrily Wufei switched the damn thing to vibrate and tossed it across clean over his body. Unfortunate I landed near a drowsy midnight noise while it still vibrating, and to Wufei that was the last straw. Who ever had the gall to call him that early morning deserved what was coming to them.

"Good Morning, lovely." purred Duo wonderful baritone through the receiver, sadly it was rubbing Wufei in all the wrong ways.

"Who? Maxwell." Wufei growled, a slow rumbling in his chest that eventually rose to his voice.

"Are you insane? Why the hell are you calling me so early?"

The deep rolling laugh the came through the other line grated Wufei's nerves even more.

"Did you forget already? Or did you change your mind about or date?" asked Duo, half jokingly but lined with a tinge of doubt. Wufei drowsed silently in thought and was nearly asleep again when it hit him. Dammit!

The afternoon before

"Right so I'll see you tomorrow." Duo said and began walking to the parking lot. It was Friday afternoon and Duo had stayed after school with Wufei and Merian for the culinary club. Heero, Quatre, Trowa, and murderous Relena waited there for him. They watched him start toward them the stop, a look of determination on his face.

"Actually-" Wufei waited for him to finish patiently but Duo didn't seem to know how; "Um, never mind, sorry." he began walking away again and stopped.

"No, no. Actually Wufei, I just wanted to- doyouwanttogooutwithmeonSaturday?" he gushed, his face turning a very interesting shade of magenta.

YES?! God yes, what took you so long?!, was what Wufei would have loved to scream, had he not been the upstanding and self-preserved person he was. But seriously, what the hell took him so long? After narrowly avoiding running a lap of victory around the campus and after composing himself somewhat Wufei agreed.

"Yes, I would." he remembered saying but who the hell knows, he was just too damn happy to pay attention. He couldn't remember having smiling that way for a long time. He couldn't wait.

Back to the Present

"Oh. Dammit!"

This time the rumbling laughter coming from the other line didn't bother him- that much.

"But why-"

"Come down stairs." Duo purred.

Somehow Wufei's body was moving on its own and before he knew it he was out of bed and down a flight of stairs. Traitorous body, it was something about that damn voice that pulled him to it, and damn the man that owned it too.

Merian was already up and cooking, Wufei Senior at the kitchen island staring daggers into his coffee mug, and his wife beside him reading the paper. The only person missing was Wufei but that was no shock, the boy didn't leave his bed till noon on weekends. The understanding silence that lingered between was harshly shattered by Merian quavering gasped, her trembling finger pointed toward the kitchen door. Curiously both parents turned in the direction of her horror just in time to catch a flash of a disgruntled Wufei gliding past.

"Hell has frozen over." Mr. Chang breathed.

Merian whimpered.

"Mommy I'm scared."

"Me too baby. Me too."

Duo waited anxiously on the porch, cell phone still pressed to his ear but he couldn't hear Wufei anymore. He was about call again when the doors swung open a scantily clad Wufei standing before him. Wufei hadn't notice his lack of clothing till he stepped outside and wave of warm air prickled his skin, Duo noticed though. The deep emerald silk of night shirt clung fruitlessly to the curve of Wufei's bronze shoulder till it slid down his biceps to the elbow, and to Duo's delight Wufei's nipple, a dusky little nub was wonderfully visible. Fortunately Wufei wasn't at all perturbed by his own nakedness.

"Why aren't you dressed?"

"I'm not going anywhere. It's too early." Wufei said flatly.

"It's nine o'clock!" argued Duo skeptically. "You said you wanted to go on a date."

"Yes!"- his voice rising- "At a reasonable hour."

Their bickering went on like this for a while until Wufei gave him an ultimatum: either buy him coffee or live life as a castrated male. As you could imagine Duo readily agreed.

"Fine! Now will you get dressed?" Duo finally reasoned, on his last leg. If this went he would doubt he would be begging. Wufei had him where he wanted and happily agreed, then left him in the front hall to go up stairs to change.

Mr. Chang leaned on the door way Wufei had just disappeared through, half eaten apple in hand. His attractively tousled, coarse black hair shadowing his face, and for a moment Duo wondered how eating an apple could be so intimidating.

"I like your son very much." Duo chirped, his hands safely at his sides at all times and his posture pointedly submissive. "He's very nice."

"Yeah, I bet you do, you little-."

"Ok! Come Duo lets wait for him in the Living room shall we?" and with out waiting she pushed her husband out of the way and, throw the poor kid a bone, took his hand.

" Good." Mrs. Chang intervened horridly, taking Duo's hand and leading him to the living where they sat; Duo on the love seat and furthest away from Mr. Chang as the room would allow and Mrs. Chang seated between them. As Duo sat beside them; Mrs. Chang broadly smiling face and Mr. Chang darkly sinister one, both staring him raw, he wondered he would die at the tender age sixteen. Two floors up Wufei was have a problem of a different kind.

"Nine o'clock in the morning! Can you believes this? Nine o'clock!"

"Yes Wufei, I heard the first three times."

Wufei waved her off tiredly, he was too damn sleepy and anxious to flip her off now. What he needed was a plan. When he had agreed on going to on a date with this guy he wasn't expecting Duo to take him out during such unholy hours.

"I've never seen you this excited before." laughed Brian amidst a sea of strewn clothing, shoes and sweaters. She was still dressed in his jammies, Midnight stretched luxuriously across her lap, enjoying the wonderful scratching behind her ears. She'd obviously spent the night, as she did every weekend, and had been so rudely woken by her so called best-friend.

Wufei's room looked if someone let a bomb off in his closet. He'd spent all of twenty minutes straight scouring his closet for the 'right outfit' as Merian dubbed it, but Brain couldn't understand why. It was just a date.

"I've never been interested in anyone before." Wufei replied head first in the closet tugging on something big.

That was true, Wufei had always been somewhat asexual, much to the delight of his father, and seeing him excited about someone at all was a bit off putting.

"How about this one?" Wufei asked, pulling a pair of his favorite most ill-worn pair of pants from his closet and held them in front of her for inspection. They were a great pair of pants, she'd been there the day Wufei bought it and remembered it was the only pair he vowed to only wear on important occasions. Well she supposed he deemed that night important enough to break um' loose.

"Yes, and with that shirt." Wufei took the suggested shirt and hung them on his shower door to scrutinize.

"Augh, wrong." he groused and ripped it off the hangers, Brain rolled her eyes.

"What's wrong with that one? It was cute." Brian asked exasperated, that was the third time he'd changed his mind.

"I'd look like an assassin"

"Never bothered you before." she argued while folding a discarded shirt neatly and placing it back into a draw.

"Never been on a date before. I'll keep the pants, but instead of that shirt how about the one with the extra long sleeves and silver clasps."

"Perfect."

Judging by the rumbling purr coming from Wufei, he agreed. He disappeared into the bathroom, moments later she could her the shower knobs being turned and water running. It wasn't long before he was showered, dressed, hair combed, teeth brushed, lotioned, and ready to go. Brain thought it was the fastest he ever moved in the morning, she was impressed. She only hoped Wufei had moved fast enough to save Duo's life.

They stopped by a coffee shop not far from their neighborhood that was already crowded with twitchy, angry morning people caring briefcases and constantly checking their watches. Duo had insisted they go somewhere else but Wufei was unmovable; it was now or never for him.

Hooking him self onto the back of Wufei's pant Duo followed as he skillfully maneuvered through the crowd. It wasn't an overly large café and by the looks of it was violating the buildings fire code with the amount of people in it. Many mean looking men and woman stood around the café, tickets in hand from the round red dispenser near the door. Duo felt at edge in this crowd, there were to many people around and they all looked murderous before their morning doses. They weren't on line long before a man from behind pushed past Duo and stood right in front of Wufei, towering over him, flanked by his friends. It seemed he was a college kid, if his university tee shirt and frat sweat pants were any indication, and a beach boy too. His hair was obvious dyed blonde, and his tan was kind of orange, Duo felt sick.

"Oh, my. What do we have here?" he remarked, sparing a brief acidic glance over Wufei's head and right at Duo. Wufei was bored; this guy had no chance before he even opened his mouth. The guy was eyeing Wufei predatorily now, his friends did the same; pointedly ignoring Duo all the while.

Duo watched with increasing anger as the guy pressed his call card into Wufei's hand; which was carelessly thrown over the little mans shoulder with out so much as a glance.

"Hm-hm-hm" he grunted appraisingly eyeing Wufei from top to bottom, and narrowing his site on Wufei's bottom. Duo didn't need to feel it to know there was a vein throbbing in his temple at the point. Wufei on the other hand could care less, so long as the guy didn't get itchy hands.

"Hey sexy." he said licking his lips; "What's a sexy little thing like you doing with this kid." he said snidely, sneering at Duo over Wufei's head and emphasizing the word 'kid'.

"Give me a call some time," Duo watched with increasing anger as the guy pressed his call card into

Wufei's hand "And I'll show you what's it like to have a real man."

Wufei fingers closed around the card, crushing it in his fist and tossed it over his shoulder with out so much as glancing at it.

Duo chuckled as Wufei threw the card over his shoulder. Did this guy seriously think he had a chance with him in the first place? Then a funnier thought hit him: this guy probably hadn't even realized that Wufei wasn't a girl! Duo was nearly in tears when the cashier called their number, this time Wufei did look at the card in hand and when the numbers matched he jumped like a bullet, parting the crown around them like a tiny force of nature. If it hadn't been for the thumb hooked in the loop of Wufei's jeans Duo was sure he would be lost in the dust with the dumb guys still gaping in the back. As they rushed forward Duo glanced at the guy still standing their, his eyes bulging from their sockets at the sheer speed of Wufei's departure and laughed harder. This was turning out to be more fun then he expected.

The casheir was startled when a -girl?- rushed to through the crowd parting at as they went and stood before the counter faster than she'd ever seen. She was also a little frightened at this persons disturbingly intense eyes.

"How may I help you today?"

"I'd like two large grande white chocolate mocha latte with a shot of espresso please."

The cashier smiled as she typed in the order, then repeated it back for verification.

"Two?" Duo asked having snapped back to attention. "You didn't have to order one for me Wufei, I don't want one."

"Good. Cause I didn't order you one." the boy said carelessly, now eyeing the baked goods.

"Why you little-"

"That'll be twelve dollars please." interrupted the nervous woman as her co-worker placed the drinks on the counter. Wufei took them happily and broke free from Duo, wandering in the direction of the door.

Twelve dollars! What the hell did that midget get the whole latte menu?! Duo grumbled under his breath payed and if possible made the poor cashier even more nervous. Leave it to him to be attracted to the most high maintenance date.

Once Wufei was filled with enough to caffeine to stop a man's head, he was a lot easier to manipulate, which made it a lot easier for Duo to get him back in the car. Wufei reclined luxuriously on the passengers side, his feet propped onto the dashboard for added comfort and the viser pulled down. Duo hummed happily, eyes focused set on the road as they passed the highway to the towns largest open market. Not his ideal kind of date but what else could he do with someone like Wufei? What does a little schizoid find fun?

"Have you ever considered that maybe some people don't like their passengers feet on the dashboard?" Duo asked suddenly, his hand had fallen from the stick shift and was slowly creeping up its way toward Wufei's thigh.

"Why? Do you mind?"

Wufei reigned in a gasp as those creeping fingers rasped down his pant leg, to his ankle and underneath his pants cuff.

"Oh no. I never said I didn't mind. I just meant, you know, that its nice to be considered. You know common courtesy and all that."

Wufei seemed to consider this for a moment. Duo stretched his fingers further up the cuff and tickled his ankle, Wufei squirmed.

"Would you have moved them if I did?"

"Nope."

Passing cars honked their horns in irritation as their car swerved, through the side window they could see a boy with long hair attacking a petite black haired girl. Teenagers these days!

The open air market was as hot as death, the sun had reached its highest point just as they pulled into the market. It was one of the hottest days of the year and Wufei's beginning to regret having worn such a dark long sleeved shirt. For an hour or so they milled around the markets edges where the crowds were thinner until Wufei's buzz wore off, and Duo was becoming a little to happy with his hands.

Wufei had just ducked underneath a wonderfully cool thatched roofed stand, panting softly from the heat and wishing he'd just take off that damn shirt. Duo followed after him, thumb still latched onto the back of Wufei's pants and pulled the smaller boy closer, wrapping his arms tightly around his waist and curving them both into each other. Wufei batted him away, annoyed at the others antics and tried to cool himself off. It was too hot for that kind of behavior.

"Aw, well isn't that sweet."

They both jumped at the small woman who stood behind the stands counter. Her voice was soft and accented as she spoke and her long solid white hair was plaited between her shoulder blades. Her round, finely lined face glowed eerily in the stands dim light as she smiled warmly at the two teens.

"Reminds you of us when we were that age, doesn't it Vinchenzo."

An older man of the same age step out beside the woman, he didn't seem have the same accent as his -wife?- but was undoubtably foreign.

"Yes adorable. Now how can we help you two this lovely afternoon?"

Vinchenzo glimmered playfully at them, having come from behind a curtain separating the front from the back and wrapped his arms around his wife lovingly. She nudged him away just as Wufei had; they both laughed.

"How can we help you today."

For the first time they noticed the shelves of phials and flasks of scented oils. Wufei picked one closets to him, a medium sized bottle filled with a misty looking oil in a very beautiful azure snake shaped bottle.

"Ah, good choice; you picked one of our best. Perfect for a nice massage after a long day" she hinted suggestively.

Wufei was quick to lay it back down.

"Actually we weren't-"

"How much for it?"

Duo intervened, taking Wufei by the hips from behind, pulling the smaller boy back to that he was pressed into him, and rested his chin on top his head. The woman smiled. She took the bottle and read the bottom tag before handing back to Duo how in turn gave her a twenty and told her to keep the change.

"Nonsense." she said and slipped at least six other bottle in the bag she'd given them as well, then as an after thought she slipped another bottle in and winked.

"Now this is our best stuff." she winked again. "Satisfaction guaranteed."

Wufei was absolutely mortified. This woman obviously had the wrong idea about them, Duo would not be using any kind oil on him (yet), and he most certainly would not be giving him a massage. Duo on the other hand had other plans, and that much was obvious as he pratically leeched himself to the other boy and stirred them away from the booth. Wufei groaned, as Duo started persuing with a new found detrmination; this could not be good.

Heero couldn't believe his so called best friend. It was Saturday night and they had all assembled at the movies, like they did every Saturday night for as long as they could remember. Except one problem, Duo wasn't there.

Heero growled as he dialed Duo's cell for the fifth time that night and once again he received his voice mail.

"He's probably busy or something, 'Ro. Don't worry."

Relena tried soothing him, a daring move, but she hated seeing Heero frazzled. Heero glared at her, and not one of his normal death glares, but his 'if you don't shut the fuck up right now, the only time they'll find your body is when the river thaws.' glare. Relena gulped. She might have been like a little sister to him but Heero had always been very clear that he had no qualms with kicking your ass no matter what you were to him.

"Oh well you look at that." she tittered, tipping over a full box of milk duds onto the lobby floor. "I ran out of milk duds. Better go get so more." with a nervous almost hysterical laugh she ran towards the confectionary stand, putting as much distance as she could between them. Merian watched her go, then flipped her phone on an dialed her brother. She had to get in contact with him soon, before someone died.

Duo growled as the smaller boy averted him once again. They had gone out after the market, back to little Italy for dinner after walking around for a few more hours. Duo was actually very proud of himself, he'd finally gotten the other boy to loosen up enough to relax around him. He'd even gotten him to laugh and make jokes. He was having fun, but he had to admit, Wufei Chang was a real tease.

He hated giving chase, usually all he needed to do was tell a light joke and flash his pearly whites and girls would fall over themselves to get to him, but no, not this one. Wufei was not one of those girls, and he fully intended on making him sweat if wanted this one. Wufei Chang was not easy.

Wufei slipped in between a couple of women making their way down the side walk, huddled close as if it was cold that night when really it was very warm and flipped open his ringing cell.

"Hai."

"Where are you?" Merian practically screeched though the other line, Wufei held the phone away from his ear.

"Up St. Bernard's in little Italy, why?"

Hilde looked at Merian questioningly; her new friend seemed to yell an awful lot. Merian smiled at her beautifully.

"Is Duo with you."

Wufei pulled the phone away again to smack the other boy when he got close enough.

"Unfortunately."

Duo followed behind him doggishly, nosing behind Wufei's ear when he got close enough, occasionally nipping the hard shell of his ear, avoiding the tiny glimmering clamp over the bowl. Moving lower he nibbled along the curve of his ear and, once he reached the softer part, sunk his teeth into it. Wufei groaned softly, forgetting Merian for a moment and letting his eyes shutter closed for a brief moment. Seeing his chance Duo dove in, pulling the other boy closer flush against him, and kissed him.

Wufei's lips were so soft, just as soft as he thought they'd be and he smelled so good, like something sweet but not overly feminine. And he had inhaled sharply when Duo kissed him and pulled away felt so warm and pliant Duo's arms. Groaning he used his tongue to part those petal soft lips and thrust it into the warm moist cavern, running his teeth over a row of sharp, little even teeth. Wufei maoned softly, Duo pulled his bottom lip into his mouth and suckled softly. Wufei felt so warm and pliant in his arms, his mouth opening in spite of himself. Duo slipped his tongue in, wrapping it around Wufei's soft little tongue and suckling it gently. Duo groaned, Wufei was so warm in his arms, and had even begun to shake; his little tongue pressing back into Duo's hesitantly, shyly.

"Wufei?"

Wufei inhaled sharply as Duo nipped his lips sharply. Taking a chance he loosened an arm around Wufei and took his phone from his limp wristed hand and slipped the phone shut soundlessly. Sinking his teeth into the rounded ridge of his ear and pulling into his mouth and sucking it. Merian stared in bemusement at the phone, from the other line she could her Wufei's breathing rapidly and finally a low groan; she took that as her cue.

"Well I hear your busy so I'll just leave you two to it." she said laughingly "Have fun!"

They kissed again, this time much slower. Duo cupped his hands around both of Wufei's hips and squeezed, rocking the other boy up against him slowly until Wufei was almost on standing on tip-toes. Wufei's hand found their own occupation as well on Duo's forearms, rasping lightly over his coat.

Once again they surfaced, breaking free for a moment so that both could catch their breath. Wufei blinked slowly, having regained his senses now that he was so occupied and swallowed. With out warning he bite the other boy other boys lip hard and pushed away from him.

"Augh, dammit, Fei!"

Wufei narrowed his eyes at him dangerously.

"Never with out my permission." he said lowly, almost inaudibly and then suddenly the air around constricted and dense. Duo hesitated. He hadn't done anything wrong? Wufei seemed to like the it just as much as he did, so why was he acting that way?

And just as suddenly as it came, Wufei's temper was gone and he smiled mischievously back at Duo.

"Come on, I'm tired, and its nearly ten. My father would kill you if I'm late."

Duo followed him tiredly, sucking on his swollen bottom lip, wondering just what he'd gotten himself into.

Duo pulled along the curb in front if Wufei's house slowly, all ready regretting not having stolen another kiss. Mr. Chang stood stock still and furious on the front porch, hair mussed and cloth in disarray around him, as if he'd thrown them on moments ago. He glared at Duo as if he wished his eyes alone could elt the skin of his face and Wufei smiled serenely.

"Your fathers about to kill me and all you can do is smile?"

Wufei leaned forward and smacked a sudden wet kiss on Duo's lips and hopped out of the car.

"I'd drive fast if I were you." he said leaning on the drivers side window, and winked cheekily. "Good night Duo."

Duo watched him walk up the drive, slack jawed, then racked a hand through his hair, staring blindly at the steering wheel.

"You drive home safely sweetie." Mrs. Chang called, waving along with Merian, both perched daintily on a window seal in the kitchen. Mr. Chang turned them his death glare of doom onto them which only made them laugh. Wufei walked up the drive with deliberate slowness, testing how far he could with this until his father inevitably snapped. He didn't get far when he was taken suddenly by his waist and hoisted over a broad shoulder and carried, the rest of the way as if he was a toddler again. The front door slammed shut behind them; Duo stared at the door, dumbfounded, the sound of both females laughter still ringing in his ears, before driving home.

Note (Rambles actually): Here's news, but not really. I cut my hair. I guess I'm setting a goal for the new year: all things new and for the better. It's really short now which is strange for me because the last time the hair saloonist so much as cut a inch of hair I bawled like a baby (so vain!). I hardly even have a bang now but I like it, it's really cute on me, or at least I think so. My brother didn't even notice. Basterd. Anyhoo here's the long awaited chapter seven (or something) hope you enjoyed. Please be so kind as to read and review my lovely, wonderful little readers. Love, Destiney.
