Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing…AT ALL
It had been two weeks since Wufei followed Quatre to the café, but since then everything was back to normal, but Quatre still seemed a little off like he was hiding something. So Wufei took it upon himself to investigate.
He was in Quatre's office one day when Quatre had left to talk to his secretary. So since Wufei was alone he walked behind Quatre's desk and looked through his appointment book. For the last two days he had a meeting set up around 1:00 pm and all it said was T B. And for the next two weeks or so it was repeated. Wufei walked back to the side of the desk as Quatre came back into the office.
"So it seems you have a lot of meeting lately Quatre."
"Hmm, Oh yeah, things just keep coming up."
"So who are you meeting with?"
Quatre shrugged. "Directors and CEO's of different companies to sign deals and whatnot…Don't worry Wufei I still have time for you."
Wufei snorted. "You had better. You're mine, remember that."
Quatre laughed and sat back in his desk chair while Wufei remained leaning against the desk. "You know I think you enjoy saying that too much."
Wufei shrugged. "I have the hottest billionaire ever as my boyfriend; I think I'm allowed to gloat."
Quatre blushed. "Wufei you know that's not true, Relena's just as rich as I am if not richer and she's attractive."
Wufei shrugged and picked up a dolphin paperweight off the desk. "I guess for a woman she is, but I still prefer you." Quatre smiled to himself at Wufei's light, but thoughtful comment.
Wufei glanced up and noticed Quatre staring at him. "What?"
Quatre shook his head. "Nothing, its just you've been stopping by the office more often."
Wufei put the paperweight back. "What you don't like me stopping by?"
"No, No I don't mind. I like seeing you Wufei you know that. Which reminds me…"
"…Yeah?"
"There's this charity Masquerade ball coming up. I wanted to know if you would be my escort."
Wufei smirked. "Depends on how much you pay me."
Quatre threw a balled up paper at Wufei, which he easily dodged. "Why do you insist on teasing me Wufei?"
"Its fun."
Quatre shook his head smiling. "So do you want to go with me or not?"
"Of course I would love to go, but Lady Une will probably want me there for security since all of you famous celebrities will be there."
Quatre nodded, though a little disappointed. "Yeah you're probably right."
"So what are you planning to wear?" Wufei inquired.
"Well it's a costume party so I get to dress up."
"As a girl right?"
"Wufei!"
"What? You could probably pass off as one, well not as well as Duo probably could. But just for you I'll check with Une and see if she needs me that night alright?"
"Alright, that's fine."
Two days later Wufei called Quatre and said that he was to be part of the security crew and could not be his escort. Quatre assured Wufei that it was fine and that he was probably just going to go with Relena. Yet even though Wufei asked what Quatre was going to wear, he answered that it was a secret and he would have to wait until the ball.
"You sure you ready for this Q?"
"Of course I have the best date in the world."
Duo laughed as he adjusted his boots. "We both know that's true, but don't let Wufei hear you say that."
Duo looked at Quatre critically and Quatre raised his eyebrows. "What?"
Duo shook his head. "You really fill that outfit out nicely. I didn't think Kevlar was your thing, but you look quite good in it."
Quatre blushed. "Ah come on Duo it's just a costume besides I think yours awesome also."
Duo nodded enthusiastically. "Hell yeah, your people do good work and look…" Duo grabbed his canister of arrows. "This is authentic."
"I'm glad you like it. So why did you decide to wear that again?"
"Oh I've always liked his story. You know, steal from the rich and give to the poor, my kind of thing you know since I know what it's like to be poor." Quatre nodded and Duo continued. "And what about you? What made you decide to be the Dark Knight?"
Quatre shrugged. "We both have secret lives trying to juggle life and work you know."
"Yeah, that you're both rich as hell."
Quatre laughed. 'Yeah that too I guess."
"Still I didn't know you were into Kevlar."
"It's just a costume Duo, nothing more."
Duo snorted. "Yeah right. I bet yore going to play a little bad guy, good guy with Wufei, eh."
Quatre furiously shook his head. "Duo! Of course not!"
"Well I definitely plan to do some role playing tonight."
"Sir, were here."
Duo looked at Quatre and smiled. "Let's go have some fun tonight." Quatre nodded in agreement. As they exited the limousine, cameras and lights were everywhere and the press was there to ask questions and comment on outfits.
Once they got inside Duo asked Quatre. "I thought you said you were supposed to be coming with Relena."
"Yeah I was, but I would have clashed with her costume besides she got Zechs to be her Prince Charming for the night."
Duo nodded. "Cool and now we can go party."
Quatre looked around quickly for Wufei but his search came up unsuccessful and he followed Duo out into the crowd.
An hour later Wufei stood impatiently. He couldn't find Quatre and it was irritating him. He said he was coming with Relena, but she was with Zechs. What irritated him more was the fact that he had been hit on more times then he could count tonight. All he was doing was standing off to the side in his Preventers uniform, face expressionless so he could be on the lookout for danger and he kept being approached. So far he had been approached by Catwoman, Pocahontas, and even Superman. He heard someone come up behind him and before they had a chance to speak he spoke up harshly.
"No I'm not single, I don't dance, I don't think you're attractive, and I don't like your costume."
The person behind him chuckled and stepped up beside him. "Well whoever is dating you must be really lucky. It's too bad you don't dance though it looks like you would be really great at it. And as for me not being attractive I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little hurt by that comment. But as for the costume, I guess I could have done better."
Wufei froze and turned around. He knew that voice. "Quatre?"
"Shh, you're going to ruin my secret identity."
Wufei looked Quatre up and down. All black Kevlar, skin tight so he could see Quatre's body perfectly, the costume would have been better if he wasn't wearing that ridiculous pointy eared mask.
"Where have you been I've been looking for you? You told me you were coming with Relena, but she came with Zechs."
Quatre shrugged casually. "Yeah I know so I came with someone else."
Wufei raised his eyebrow. "And who would that be?"
"That would be me Wuffles, who else." Duo announced his presence bounding in front of Wufei.
"What did you just call me?"
Duo totally ignored Wufei and clung to Quatre. "Come and dance with me Quat. I asked Relena, but she said her glass slippers were not made to dance in. Seriously how her shoes don't break with all that pressure on them amazes me, but anyway come on and dance with me Quatre. Please, please, please."
Quatre looked at Duo's begging face and gave in. "Alright."
"Yeah!"
Quatre looked at Wufei and smiled. "I'll be back." Wufei nodded and watched them walk away, or more like Duo drag them to the dance floor. Wufei went back to his watch, but made sure to keep an eye out for Quatre.
"Damn Quatre that was amazing." Duo said pulling Quatre off the dance floor. "I didn't know you could shake your bon-bon like that."
"I couldn't let you out do me could I?"
Duo laughed, 'I guess not. Oh look who it is, the princess herself."
Relena walked up to Duo and smiled. "I see you found yourself another dance partner."
Duo nodded. "Yep, one who doesn't have to worry about being home before midnight."
"Your dress is gorgeous Relena." Quatre stated admiring the sparkle blue of her dress.
"Well thank you very much Quatre." Relena answered giving a slight curtsy. "If you'll excuse me I promised Zechs I wouldn't go too far."
Quatre smiled and waved her off.
"Duo…is that you?"
"Huh?" Duo turned around and his eyes widened. "Trowa?"
Quatre turned around also and even though Trowa was wearing a costume he could tell it was him. He could also see Sherry hanging on his arm.
"Hi Trowa, you're a little far from Never Never Land aren't you?"
Trowa cocked his head to the side. "Quatre, is that you?"
"Yep…nice costumes by the way. Sherry you look very pretty tonight."
She smiled, yet shifted uncomfortably. "Um thanks it's nice to see you again."
"So what's going on here?" Duo asked as he gave a confused look at the three people standing next to him and the tension in the air.
Trowa took his eyes away from Quatre. "Oh sorry. Sherry this is Duo, Duo this is my girlfriend Sherry."
Duo nodded slowly, recognition setting in as Sherry gripped Trowa's arm tighter. "Ah well it's very nice to meet you Sherry." Duo said reaching out for her hand, laying a light kiss on it and bowing. "It's always a pleasure to meet a beautiful lady."
Sherry's grip loosened on Trowa as she smiled a little.
"Duo's quite the charmer as you can see." Quatre said smiling thankful for Duo trying to ease the tension. "So who are you guys here with?"
"Oh, Sherry knows Albert McNelson and he invited us to some."
"Oh? I just recently met with him to discuss making reforms on the construction taking place on L2."
Suddenly a young man in a waiter uniform came up. "Excuse me Mr. Winner, but Miss Peacecraft requests your assistance."
Quatre bowed, "If you'll excuse me, it was nice to see you two again."
Trowa looked a little disappointed, but gave them a smile and said goodbye. Quatre hooked his arm through Duo's and followed the messenger towards Relena.
"Thank you Duo." Quatre said once they were far enough from Trowa and Sherry.
"For what?"
"You know…For being nice to Trowa and Sherry."
"Ah don't worry about it buddy, that's what friends are for, to help you in those awkward situations. Besides she was pretty, but that doesn't mean I approve of them together. Especially not after what happened."
"I know Duo, thanks again."
The rest of the evening went by without Quatre and Duo running into Trowa or Sherry again.
"Quatre that party was kick ass. I had so much fun tonight."
"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Quatre said as Heero, Duo, Wufei and himself walked down the hotel stairs to go home. Duo had his arm locked through Heero's bounding down the stairs, while Wufei and Quatre walked at a more leisurely pace. When Wufei and Quatre reached the bottom Duo had Heero pulled close to him, hands on his ass about ready to lip lock.
"Get a room you guys." Wufei said covering Quatre's eyes. "I don't want Quatre to see you two ravish each other. He might get ideas."
Duo got even closer to Heero. "Well I intend to do more then ravish him, I plan to-"
Heero covered Duo's mouth. "You're just going to have to wait until we get home."
Duo pouted. "Ah that's no fun. Why can't we start in the car?" Duo asked wiggling his eyebrow.
"Because we took my car this evening and there is no way in hell I'm letting you 'get busy' in my car." Wufei answered.
"That's okay Duo, you and Heero can take the limo back."
Duo's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"
Quatre nodded, "Yeah I'll ride home with Wufei."
Duo glomped Quatre, "Thanks buddy you're the best ever. Me and Heero…alone in a limo…with my hormones kicking in overdrive…this is a dream come true."
"I liked how he asked me before he made plans." Wufei commented to Heero as they watched Duo catch Quatre in a headlock, laughing.
"Yeah Duo and Quatre are like that. Plan things without telling us first." Heero cracked a smile and shook his head. "Yet we follow them anyway.
Wufei smiled too. "Yeah we have no one to blame, but ourselves."
"Heero come on lets go before all the erotic fantasies about you disappear from my head."
"I hardly think that will ever happen." Heero replied.
"Well I don't want to take that chance."
"Ill tell my driver what's going on and you guys can go."
Once Quatre finished and waved them off, Wufei led Quatre to his car. He unlocked the door, but before he opened it he pushed Quatre against the passenger door trapped between his arms. He pulled the mask over Quatre's head and leaned close.
Quatre blushed. "Wufei someone might see us."
Wufei just smirked in return. "Let them watch." He then claimed Quatre's mouth in a searing kiss. When Wufei pulled away Quatre was breathless, but smiling nonetheless. Wufei was getting bolder and Quatre loved it.
As Wufei took his place behind the wheel, he checked to make sure Quatre was strapped in and then drove off. Wufei smirked to himself. He couldn't help, but molest Quatre a little bit; he was looking so damn hot in all that skin tight black material.
"So, what made you decide to where that outfit?" Wufei asked.
Quatre shrugged. "Guess I kind of wanted to be a superhero, but apparently I didn't pick the right outfit since you don't like it."
"What makes you say I don't like it?"
"You said and I quote 'I don't find you attractive and I don't like your costume.'"
Wufei rolled his eyes. "You're taking that out of context. The only reason I said that is because I though you were someone else."
"And who did you think I was?" Quatre asked curiously.
"I don't know anyone else but you. I got hit on so many times tonight its unbelievable."
Quatre laughed. "That's what happens when you look as good as you do."
"Thanks, but I don't like all the attention. I'll leave that up to you celebrities."
"So… you don't mind the outfit?"
Wufei smirked. "Definitely not and I'm sure you're going to be all in the tabloids tomorrow…You know your outfit totally clashes with your 'I'm cute and innocent look.'"
Quatre pouted. "That's not what I aim for."
Wufei shrugged, "I know, but it's only a few of us know who know who you really are and what you can do."
"Well the same goes for you." Quatre replied.
"Maybe, but I don't mind my 'I'm stuck up and better than everyone else' attitude."
Quatre laughed. "Yeah I remember when Duo first met you, he went on about how you were worst than Heero and what a prick you were."
"Hm, it's nice to know I was loved then."
"Hey its not the same now, we all just had things to work through."
"…Yeah, you're right."
It was silent for awhile until Wufei spoke up about something that was on his tugging on his mind all night.
"I saw Trowa tonight."
Quatre rolled his eyes; he really did not want to talk to Wufei about Trowa. "Wufei…"
"And I also saw you talk to him."
Quatre grew angry. He didn't even know Wufei noticed Trowa was there, but apparently he did. Quatre took a deep breath to calm himself.
"So what now Wufei? Are you going to tell me you were jealous and never want me to see him again?"
Wufei sighed. He had a feeling this conversation wasn't going to be the most pleasant. He didn't want to upset Quatre, but he knew things were still unsettled between them and though it might now seem a problem at the moment, it might cause problems later.
"No I'm not telling you to stop seeing Trowa, even if that's what I want I-."
"I don't like people telling me what to do and how to do it Wufei. I can handle this." Quatre replied cutting Wufei off, staring at him as he broke for a stop light.
Wufei looked directly at Quatre and spoke bluntly. "He still loves you Quatre."
Quatre turned away from Wufei and faced the window refusing to accept the fact. "Don't say that Wufei."
"Why? Because it's the truth?"
"You don't know that." Quatre said as he clenched his hands in his lap. He didn't want to have this conversation not now, not ever.
"Well either way he still cares about you, Quatre" Wufei continued. "Whether you want to admit it or not."
Wufei resumed driving, but heard Quatre reply softly. "If he cared so much he wouldn't have slept with someone else behind my back."
"Do you still love him Quatre?"
"Quatre?"
"Wufei please let's not talk about this."
"Quatre-"
"No!" Quatre shouted. He then realized his outburst and spoke in a softer tone, "Just stop it Wufei…let's drop it, please."
"Quatre we need to talk about this."
Quatre continued to look out the window and refused to say another word on the topic no matter how many times Wufei tried.
Wufei finally pulled into Quatre's driveway and as soon as Wufei stopped the car Quatre opened the door, said "Thank you for the ride," and got out the car.
Wufei immediately followed and stopped Quatre before he went inside, by grabbing his arm.
"Wait, Quatre please-"
"I'm done talking Wufei."
"Fine then I'll talk." When it seemed like Quatre wasn't going to leave anyway, Wufei released his hold on Quatre and spoke.
"Look I know this is difficult for you and I also know you still have feelings for Trowa, no matter how much you try to deny it. And I'm okay with that I knew you wouldn't get over him that easily." Wufei's voice got softer and he brushed his hand through Quatre's bangs lightly.
"I know you're still hurting Quatre and I understand that, but you can't' keep it bottled away, you have to acknowledge and face the situation. If you need help, talk to someone. If it's not me that's fine, but at least Duo or someone else you trust….The truth is Quatre I love…I love it when you smile and I don't want you to be sad anymore okay."
It was silent for a moment as Quatre soaked in all of Wufei's words and hearing the sincerity in Wufei's voice made him feel guilty for overreacting in the car.
"I know Wufei and you're right I'm acting foolish… I'm…I'm sorry that-"
Wufei stopped Quatre's words by placing his finger against Quatre's lips. "You don't have to be sorry Quatre. I'm here for you." Wufei lightly kissed Quatre's forehead and wrapped his arms around Quatre in a hug. They stood like that for several moments before Quatre pulled back and gave a little smile.
"Thanks Wufei."
"Don't worry about it. Are you going to be okay tonight?"
Quatre nodded. "Yeah I'm just going to take a shower and go to bed."
"Alright then, goodnight Quatre." Wufei gave Quatre another kiss and then started towards his car.
"Be careful, Wufei."
"I will." Wufei replied.
When Wufei pulled away Quatre went inside and sighed as he leaned against the
door as thoughts ran rapid in his head.
/As much as I hate to admit it, Wufei is right. There are still some unspoken things between me and Trowa and there's only one way to handle it. /
Ah there first fight, no makeup sex though. Now that I reread it Wufei seemed really sweet with the comforting Quatre even though he wouldn't give a straight answer to his question. Hm, seems like Wufei is trying to give Quatre some time. But what is Quatre going to do? Well, you'll just have to wait and see. Though I would like to know what you think will happen.
Oh yeah everyone's costumes if you couldn't figure it out. I tried to be descriptive, without saying anyone's names.
Relena- Cinderella
Zechs-Cinderella's Prince Charming (I don't remember his name, sorry.)
Quatre- Duna Duna Duna Duna Duna Duna Duna Duna Batman. -
Duo-Robin Hood
Trowa-Peter Pan
Sherry-Tinkerbell
Oh yeah Kevlar is a type of synthetic fabric having resistance to high temperatures and great strength.
Don't even ask me how I came up with this whole scene. I was probably fantasizing again. Well I see y'all next chapter. Thanks for reading and review if you have time.
