A Persian's Tale 4

Disclaimer: I don't own either of them or the story that spawned this bunny.
AN: Things to know for this story -- 1) The pilots are as follows: Heero Yuy is Pilot 01, Duo Maxwell is Pilot 02, Trowa Barton is Pilot 03, Quatre Raberba Winner is Pilot 04, and Wufei Chang is Pilot 05. 2) This is set after Year 5 and a few years after Endless Waltz. 3) Yes, this will contain both SLASH and HET but NOT HARDCORE! Words and actions people, not sex. 3a) Harry will be in a SLASH relationship with a character of the GW-verse. I already gave you a rather blatant hint who it is. 4) If you aren't familiar with Gundam Wing, I won't be going hardcore into the specifics of the plot, just Wikipedia "Gundam Wing" and read the plot summary of the show and Endless Waltz. Life will be good.
There was a reason that Duo Maxwell smelled so strongly of explosives and it scared his fur stiff. The bloody fool kept plastiques and charges inside his braid. And, if that wasn't bad enough, Heero didn't seem to care that his brown haired lover was doing so. He had seemed mildly upset when he found something that looked suspiciously like a partially completed pipe bomb near his precious laptop but, aside from having to share the couch for three days, there was no reaction. They were bloody insane and barely 20!
However, ignoring the lethally insane menace, his life was looking up. The vet, Dr. Barton, had removed the stitches from his face and leg that morning which was a relief. There was a problem when scratching your eye out or biting your leg off came off as appealing. His bandages were also removed and he was given a clean bill of health. Life was good.
Then, the purple eyed hell spawn had asked about shots. Harry never had any and Dr. Barton wasn't going to take the chance that he might have had previous shots anyways.
They hurt. Very much.
And so did Dr. Barton and the hell spawn when he was done. There was something extremely satisfying about watching the nurse give the vet a total of 23 stitches. Yes, he counted. As for dear, sweet Duo? That was another two inches off the bottom and a rather spectacular impression of his left paw claws raking across his eye.
He then curled up in the lap of the very pretty nurse who turned out to be a cat person and smugly watched his prey. The fact that he could feel the brunette nurse shaking with laughter left him feeling vindicated.

"It's evil!"
"I thought you name him Calico?"
"Hah! No way, that thing is officially an 'it'!"
"Why are you feeling so hostile? Hair grows back and you were contemplating trimming the end."
"Trimming, not getting two inches hacked off, and that was because it already took two inches off before!"
"Duo. Calm down. Your hair will re-grow and Calico will be out of the apartment in a week."
"Gah! Fine! I'll calm down but only because he's leaving soon."
"Hn."
"You're welcome."
"No napalm."
"Spoilsport."

He would be a present to some stranger in a week and he still couldn't change back. His magic categorically refused to cooperate with him, refusing to budge whenever he prodded it trying to switch forms. But, he could make it move when he tried for something else, like levitation, bigger jumps, or softer landing. Plus, there was usually some sign he was actually doing those things, nothing big but definitely something. Actually, the passive uses worked best – they worked all the time to various degrees and didn't drain his reserves down to almost nothing like levitation did.
However, getting back to the subject, he was going to be a present in a week. He didn't know this person, he didn't know where he lived, and he didn't know his political affiliation. All of which was very important considering his effin' Boy Who Lived status. Not that he had much choice, actually they would probably be a blessed relief in comparison to the hellion and his blue eyed love. He didn't have a problem with Heero, definite potential for becoming a cat person, but Duo was a whole other story. The sadist had him flea dipped in retaliation for the incident at the vet's office.
Speaking of blue eyes, Heero was calling for him. His tail swayed back and forth, attracting GSR-man's attention.
"Come down Calico. I need to take you to the groomer's before the party at Quatre's next week."
Ah, he did know one thing about his soon-to-be new owner; his name was Quatre Raberba Winner, brother-in-all-but-blood to Heero Yuy and Duo Maxwell.
Okay, so Harry has something of a love/hate relationship going on with Duo. Go figure. A reviewer mentioned being disconcerted with the slash content present in this story but I am taking it as a statement of fact since the review wasn't hostile. Sorry for the lack of warning but I have done nothing to hide the slash in this story, I like slash stories personally. I am going with the standard slash pairings where GW is concerned in fanfiction -- HeeroxDuo, QuatrexTrowa, and WufeixSally. Although cute, I actually prefer the pairing of Sally Po and Chang Wufei over slash variants, just a quirk I guess. As you can (or will) see, Harry is Bi-Curious. He likes girls but is curious about boys (not that he is ready to admit he might be interested).
For those in the know concerning Gundam Wing -- I am going to take Milliardo Peacecraft, Relena Peacecraft, and the Sanc Kingdom and I am going to play with them. Sanc was short for Sanctuary and there is a reason the Peacecrafts were called the Peacecrafts. That is the only hint I'm dropping right now.
Timeline (because I'm surprised no one has asked yet) -- I am not going to touch it. AC and AD are just too big a pain in my happy little arse to bother with. I sucked at math. Just know that the happenings of GW were going on in the muggle world while Voldemort was going on in the magical world. Yes, the two are merged, yes there are colonies in space, yes, I am leaving it to you (the reader) to design your own explanation for the timeline. The calendar is standard January to December, 7 days a week, 4 weeks per month, 365 days a year.
Hopefully that has answered anything you might be thinking so be kind and leave a review. If I missed something, say so and I'll try to address it. OH! And look at Treize Khushrenada, he'll be important to the story in his posthumous way.
