Chapter 9 is finally done and I'm going to clear up a few things about Sally before I start.
First off I haven't watched Endless Waltz in like years. I taped it when it came on Cartoon Network one time, but that's on VHS and I don't have a working VCR right now, so I couldn't go back and look at that stuff. So if they are already partners I'm sorry, but I'm going to change that. Work with me on this.
For this fic Sally originally worked in the medical field, but now shes going to become a full-fledged Preventer worker so now Wufei is showing her some of the ropes.
I hoped that cleared up anything. If you still have questions as to what's going on or whatnot, don't hesitate to review or PM and state your concerns.
A Special Shout out to Markanovanlink and ChilledFlame for continuing to inspire me to write. And to all you others reviewers Mama, Pomona, and you guys keep me going.
There was a request of some Wufei/Quatre time so here ya go.
Quatre waved goodnight to his driver and turned to unlock the door. He was finally home and he sighed in relief as he entered through the door. He gently closed and locked the door behind him as he took a whiff of the pleasant scent in the air. He had forgotten he had called his housekeeper, Rebecca, and requested if she could have a meal cooked for him by the time he got home.
Since Trowa wasn't living with him anymore he usually just got a bit of something to eat on the way home or when he got tired of eating out he would cook something simple for himself. But tonight he was famished and wanted nothing better than to be welcomed by a warm house and a hot meal.
Well at least he had half. Every since Trowa left it felt empty in the house. He even moved from the room they shared, but he could still feel Trowa's presence. Quatre shook his head, trying to clear his head from the invading thoughts.
He walked towards the kitchen in order to thank Rebecca for the last minute meal preparations, but it wasn't Rebecca that stepped out of the kitchen; it was Wufei wiping his hands on a towel. Quatre nearly dropped the binder he had in his arms.
"Wufei….I didn't expect you to be here."
"Well I decided to come tonight since I didn't have the chance yesterday." Wufei placed the dish towel on the table. "…I hope that's okay." He added unsurely.
"Oh no, it's perfectly fine." Quatre replied placing his binder down. "I'm just surprised, but pleasantly surprised." He smiled.
Wufei let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding. "Well when I got here Rebecca was about to start dinner and I told her I would take over."
"Oh so you're cooking." Wufei nodded and Quatre smiled. "Good because I find that hot."
Wufei's eyes widened. "I'm sorry what did you say?"
Quatre smirked. "I find the fact that you're cooking sexy."
Wufei reddened and rubbed the back of his neck. "It's nothing…too much, just some Chicken Teriyaki and rice."
"You're cute when you're embarrassed." Quatre commented.
"I'm not embarrassed." Wufei protested.
"Then why are you blushing?"
"I'm not blushing!"
Quatre gave a knowing smile. "Then why are you turning red?"
Wufei crossed his arms and turned away. "You're seeing things Quatre."
Quatre chuckled and slowly wrapped his arms around Wufei's neck. "Come on Fei, I'm just teasing you."
At the mention of his nickname and the blonde man in his arms, Wufei uncrossed his arms and wrapped them around Quatre's waist instead. "Yeah, well I like it the other way around." Wufei pulled him closer. "You know we have to make up for lost time Quatre."
"Oh? And what did you have in mind Fei."
Wufei demonstrated by placing his lips fully on Quatre's. He proceeded to enter and explore the moist cavern. Quatre moaned and tugged Wufei's hair band out of his hair. As the silky strands fell down around his face, Wufei detached his lips from Quatre's and redirected them to his pale neck. Quatre tilted his head to give Wufei better access, while running his fingers through Wufei's hair.
"Wufei…" Quatre's breathing increased as Wufei continued to work on the side of his neck. "….Wufei." Quatre voice gained volume. "Wufei, you have to…stop…..Wufei…..Wufei!"
Wufei looked up startled. "What?"
"Something's burning."
"Oh shit!" Wufei proceeded to run to the kitchen as Quatre readjusted his shirt and followed him.
Quatre peered over Wufei's shoulder as he pushed the rice in the pan around. "So is it okay?"
"The bottom is burnt, so we'll just have to scrap from the top."
Quatre nodded. "That's fine as long as the chicken is okay."
"The rice would be okay if you weren't distracting me."
"I distracted you?" Quatre asked in disbelief. "You were the one that wouldn't stop."
"Yes, but you were the one standing there looking so inviting"
"I can't help it if you find me irresistible."
Wufei rolled his eyes. "Conceited much Quatre?"
"I have reason to be." Quatre peered over his shoulder again. "So can we eat now?"
Wufei nodded and Quatre proceeded to pull out two plates from the cabinet and placed them on the counter. Wufei fixed them both a generous amount of food and took the plates to the table.
Once they were both settled Quatre took a bite and nodded enthusiastically. "This is really great Fei."
Wufei nodded. "I'm happy you like it Quatre."
After a couple of more bites Quatre spoke again. "So since you're here tonight I take it the new recruit didn't need you tonight."
Wufei almost forgot he didn't tell Quatre what happened. "Actually I meant to tell you that the recruit is Sally."
"Sally?" Quatre asked confused. "But she's already part of the Preventers, is she not?"
Wufei pushed a strand of hair behind his ear. "I was confused at first as well, but Sally normally only works for the medical department, but now she's going into active duty."
Quatre nodded in understanding. "Well I'm sure she'll do fine, considering you are there to help her."
"I hope so." Wufei glanced over at the end of the table. "So what's that for?"
"Huh?" Quatre looked over to the binder he sat down earlier. "Oh I just brought some work home tonight."
"Quatre that binder is the size of a telephone book, how much work do you plan on doing?"
"I was going to go over some things I didn't get to finish today, but since you're here I'll just do it tomorrow."
Wufei raised an eyebrow. "You're ditching work for me? Should you really be doing that?'
Quatre grinned "I'm the boss Wufei; technically I can do whatever I want, whenever I want."
"Yeah and then you go back and your company is bankrupt."
"Wufei are you trying to jinx something."
"No, I just don't want my presence to interrupt your work, that's all."
"It's fine Wufei, really."
Wufei nodded and they continued eating. Once finished Wufei offered to wash the dishes, but Quatre ushered him out of the kitchen telling him to relax and that he would take care of it. After enough convincing, Wufei made his way into the living room and fiddled with the stereo system. Once he found a station to his liking he reclined back on the couch to listen to the classic rock music. (1)
Quatre entered ten minutes later, handing Wufei a glass of water before he happily, hopped on the couch and snuggled his head in Wufei's lap. Wufei chuckled at Quatre's antics and started to play with the blonde strands in his lap. Quatre sighed softly and snuggled deeper.
"Quatre?"
"Yes?"
Wufei continued to run his hands through Quatre's hair. "How about we go out this weekend. Maybe go to the park or catch a movie or something."
Quatre sat up and frowned. "As much as I would love that I have a meeting in L3 this weekend, so I can't."
Wufei kissed his forehead. "Hey don't get upset, we can do something when you get back."
"Are you sure because I can try to get out of it."
"I can wait. I'm not going anywhere Quatre. I'll be here when you get back."
Quatre seemed assured at the comment and settled back into Wufei's lap. Wufei propped his legs up on the table and laid his head back on the couch, while continuing to play with Quatre's hair.
"So when are you leaving?" Inquired Wufei.
"Early Friday afternoon." Wufei gave a slight nod and they lapsed into a comfortable silence. They stayed like that for a while, just enjoying each other's company and the music before Quatre's soft voice broke the silence.
"Wufei?"
"Hm?"
Quatre squirmed a little. "Do you….Do you think you can come over more often. I like being here with you, like this."
Wufei smiled and closed his eyes. "Of course Quatre, whatever you want."
Quatre tilted his head up and looked at Wufei's peaceful expression. "Fei?"
Wufei cracked an eyelid. "Hm?"
Quatre shook his head. "It's nothing."
"You sure?" Wufei asked skeptically.
"Yeah."
Wufei shrugged and closed his eyes again thinking of what to do with Quatre when he got back from L3.
(1) I don't know what it is, but I see Wufei as a classic rock listener. shrugs
Well there goes the Wufei/Quatre goodness. I was in such a good mood when I typed this because I saw Chris Daughty perform at Universal for Mardi Gras on Saturday. He's so awesome and even though he can't be mine, I will forever drool over his pics and buy his CD's. Well enough of my obsession with Daughtry I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter because I really enjoyed writing it. If you guys have any other suggestions or requests I'll see what I can do. Later :)
