Angel Heart
Chapter eleven: The crossroads

I’m about to change my vibe
Today’s the sun’s gonna shine
Cause I’ve made up my mind
That today will be the start of better days
Leavin old shit behind
And move on with my life
That blindfold’s off my eyes
And now all I see for me is better days
“Better Days” Janet Jackson


The sun rose slowly the the horizon as dawn broke across the barrier of night awakening the world anew as it began its daily journey across the sky. Below from its majestic view, the fiery orb showered its warmth to the great mother earth calling all living things to beckon to its call. Gradually, the inhabitants of the bluish-green planet began to show signs of life as the start of a new day slowly began.

There was a cool breeze blowing through a window causing the curtains and the silk canopy covering a massive bed in one particular house to billow from its gentle force. Usually a canopy was created to shade its inhabitants from the elements beyond its reach but that would not be so today. A gentle blast of wind, with the softness of a woman’s touch, broke through the silken barrier and caressed the slumbering teenagers within. The two young men lying on the mussed satin sheets slept like babes, each more beautiful beyond compare. The dark ebony tresses on a young man’s head fluttered about his crown like pure silk webs against the pillow and they slid delicately across the Asian youth’s nose in an elaborate dance.

Slowly, dark brown eyes deep like bittersweet chocolate opened blurring a little from its disorientation from sleep to wakefulness. The teenager slowly sat up, stretching his golden arms high over his head relieving the cracks in his spine as if a great burden had risen from his shoulders. One by one, strong muscular arms came back down and bumped into something warm. Wufei blinked, his vision slowly clearing back to normal. He turned and saw the lump of a body cuddled by his side in his bed. Dark eyes stared at the form and his hand rose to wipe away the sleep still lodged within corners of his dark eyes making sure the vision before him was not an illusion. The breeze blew again and long chestnut strands moved with the dance of the wind.

It was not a dream.

A golden brown hand reached down, lightly fingering a few strands of that glorious mane. Wufei could see three coloadiaadiating from that handful; red, gold and brown flowing over each other so perfectly, blending into a wonderment of autumn colors. His right hand strayed further, touching the side of pale defined cheekbones gently stroking the soft skin that he had coo loo love. The occupant of said face was still sleeping but unknowingly the sleeper sighed in contentment breathing words that ded ded like Wufei’s name.

Wufei blushed, a little embarrassed from the sleeper’s admission, pulled his trembling hand away but not before he kneeled down to kiss Duo’s left cheek. He took a deep breath to calm his shaky nerves, yawning a bit and rose quietly from the bed. Memories of the night before began to flood his mind. He was still trying to make sense of how and what happened, trying so hard to comprehend his actions of the night before.

Soft sound of his footsteps paddled against the carpeted room as Wufei walked over to the bathroom. He kept his noise to a minimum as he opened the door, did his business like he always did every morning, washing both his hands and face before he clicked off the light and walked back over to sit on the end of his bed letting Duo continue to sleep. Memories of his past rolled in his mind and instinctively, his hand rose to finger brush through his massive ebony hair. “Dammit!” Wufei exclaimed, as his fingers tangled in a knot. His arm shot out reaching slightly over to his nightstand. His brush was still there from this morning where he left it and he picked up and brought it back to his tangled mane of fine hair. One stroke after the other, his hand moving in a calming rhythm as if he was brushing the troubles away from his mind instead of detangling his dark hair. Wufei was so worried that he scared Duo that he began thinking that boy would not want to see him again. It wasn’t long before he had finished detangling his hair; the dark strands gleaming like onyx. Wufei then placed the brush down besides his thigh and began to braid a few strands by his ear nervously.

“I wonder…” Wufei began, “I wonder if I scared him. He said he was happy…but…”

“I am happy.”

Wufei jumped, surprised and in shock, thinking he was alone in his thoughts when he looked over his shoulder and was caught by a pair of sleepy violet eyes. “Ack! Duo!” Damn the boy did resemble a sleepy kitten. Wufei was getting turned on against his will just from the look in Duo’s sleepy eyes.

Duo blinked a couple of times, his line of sight focusing on Wufei’s face. He moved, groggy yet gracefully rising from the bed until he balanced his body on all fours. His chestnut hair was a mess, strands falling around his face like the mane of a lion while his long braid hung over his shoulder and piled onto the bed like the body of a boa constrictor. “Fei…Wufei…I would never leave you.” Duo crawled slowly over on the bed until he was safely secured in Wufei’s lap, where sat comfortably and gently rested his head on the teenager’s shoulder.

Wufei sighed. Duo must have been slightly dozing to hear his mumbling. Languidly, he began to pet Duo’s hair, playing with the untidy braid and trying to ignore how sensual Duo appeared at the moment. “I…Sorry…I just didn’t know…”

Duo caressed his cheek against Wufei’s neck, feeling comfort from that gentle touch. “You could only imagine the ordeals I’ve had to go through….”

Wufei leaned his cheek on Duo’s head. “I don’t think I’d want to.”

“Wufei…”

“You’re strong, Duo. You’re one of the strongest people I’ve known. Meiran was strong for surviving as long as she did but you….you’re a survivor. I know if that ever had happened to me, I don’t think I would have been able to sit here. It takes a lot of courage to just live. I’m proud to you.”

Duo blushed, calm for once. He wanted to tell Wufei everything. “The games, Wufei…the sick games…but when we were put into the witness protection program….”

Wufei pulled back, looking down at Duo startled. Did he just hear that right? “You’re in that?”

“Yeah…” Duo replied, looking into Wufei’s eyes showing the truth in his words. “My family’s been through so much.”

Feeling a little weird all of a sudden, Wufei swallowed. “Is your name really Duo then?”

Duo giggled knowing Wufei was feeling uncomfortable about the witness protection thing. “Don’t worry, Wufei. My name is really Duo. I was named because I’m an exact duplicate of my mom though a male version. I was teased a lot, often mistaken for a girl.”

Wufei breathed a sigh of relief. It would have felt odd calling Duo by another name. Eventually, they would have to tell Heero & Quatre to better protect Duo. “Good…because I like it. You would have had a hard time with me recognizing you as anything else.”

Duo giggled again. “More trivia on me, Fei-Fei. I am also named after my father…my middle name is Damien and for security purposes, my name was official changed. I have my grandmother’s maiden name in lieu of my father’s.”

Wufei put the words together and breathed Duos’ full name. “Duo Damien…Maxwell. Instead of Krushrenanda.”

“Yup. You have it.”

Wufei knew that information was kind of odd when he first began searching in the school records for information about the mysterious Duo Maxwell. Now he knew the truth. Smiling, Wufei savored the syllables of the name over and over within his mind, mixing the surname with his own name. The sound was lovely, as he thoroughly adored the name rolling over his tongue as he began to physically knead the back of Duo’s neck.

Duo purred in contentment yet he continued the conversation. “Yeah…Damien…that’s the perfect name for my father.”

“Demon.” Wufei murmured.

Soft snickering rumbled against Wufei’s chest. “I remember the first time I arrived at the school. Treize and I were on our way to the principal’s office along with an escort. We got a quick tour on the way and we happened to pass by the dojo. I couldn’t believe a high school had a dojo but we were told of the various extracurricular activities offered by the high school. We were told a presentation was going on at that moment and we could only stay a few minutes. The first person I saw was you. You were gi gi doing some type of balancing or something.”

Wufei blushed a bit, trying to remember his club’s schedule last term. Helios Dragons, Wufei’s Tae won do team, had finally made it to the national tournament under his tutelage. The school was proud of the team’s accomplishments and asked for the students to do a demonstration for the district consul. “I was weak with hand to hand then. My grandfather got on me about that. I’m better with a sword or a spear.”

Sighing in Wufei’s arms, Duo reflected on his first glimpse of Wufei. “It was the first time…I actually felt something move me in such a way like that in a very long time. Your hair was pulled into a high ponytail but you had strands escaping all over your face. You look like you had been practicing for hours to get everything perfect. Your clothes were sticking to you and your skin was glowing from your sweat but the movement you moved….I couldn’t breathe. It was …beautiful. It was like you were flowing water gliding along the surface of glass. You were beautiful.”

“Oi!” Wufei looked irked from that comment.

Duo looked up from Wufei’s shoulder and laughed. The dark haired boy was pouting and looked embarrassed by his words. His expression was hilarious. “Well you were! I didn’t understand what was happening to me. It happened so fast. I’ve never seen anything like that in my whole life.”

Wufei’s dark eyes glittered. “It’s not that hard, Duo. I could…teach you.” Golden fingers rose, dancing along Duo’s spine and slowly crept through the nape of Duo’s hair. A sheepish grin emerged on Wufei’s face. “If you don’t mind me being your sensei….”

Naughty teacher/student thoughts raced through Duo’s head as his body began to respond from Wufei’s light touches. “Yesss…Er…” His words began slurring and melting sensations tingled within his body as he tried to agree to Wufei’s offer. Swallowing deeply, Duo tried hard getting his body back under his control. “That would be fine, Fei.” His face had brightened into a reddish hue while Wufei continued to pet hime hee he was his personal pet. ‘Damn.’ Duo thought to himself, ‘Fei’s touches are driving me nuts.’ Once he got his voice in order, he simply replied, “Besides I need to learn how to better protect myself.”

“I’ll teach you, Duo.”

Duo swallowed again, quivering physically from the deep rumble of Wufei’s voice. How could a voice do that? The teen would be the end of him if Wufei had his way. “Besides Quat, you’re the only one that knows about me-the true me. Those were some of the reasons why I worked so hard in the books. Those guys you saw at lunch…the ones at the tables? They would always ask me about my personal life when we hung out but I would immediately change the subject. That didn’t work when they started asking me out on dates…”

Dark brown eyes stared intensely at Duo. “Other people were hitting on you?”

Duo blinked confused until he watched while Wufei leaned back slightly over for a moment, with him still in his lap, to reach undes bes bed. Amethyst eyes widened in shock with the Chinese teenager leaned up again and pulled out a rather large container from underneath his bed to place on end of his bed.

Nimble hands unfastened a lock and the box was opened. Within a bed of red satin and cushion sat a sword. It was beautiful. Duo watched as Wufei asked him to get off his lap a minute so he could show it to him. Duo slid off and watched as Wufei securely grasped a very expensive sheathed sword with both hands as he rose from the bed to kneel on the floor. Dollar figures rained in Duo’s head, and judging by the way Wufei held the blade, it had to be heavy as hell as well a small fortune. The detail on the sheath appeared to be painted by hand with the exquisite design of a raging dragon flowing out of the water from the tip to the handle. Duo was afraid for Wufei as he watched transfixed while the boy unsheathed the sword. The sword was in immaculate condition yet Duo frowned from this knowledge. Wufei was sitting with a dangerous weapon in his room and with enough force he could kill someone with it.

“I will tell them to back off if you want me to…”

Duo looked at Wufei like he had lost his mind but stopped himself when he realized the true meaning behind the gesture. It was strangely touching that this boy was willing to defend his honor…. “Fei…”

Wufei lowered his sword, sliding the blade back into its sheath and then placing it back into its case. After locking it away, he slid it back under his bed and sat back down next to Duo. It would appear to be kind of odd for a teenager to be sleeping with a real sword under their bed. Who said he was a normal teenager? Blame that on his deceased grandfather. “Eh?”

“I’ve never been so touched in my life even though you are nuts!” Duo giggled as he went to sit back into Wufei’s lap. “You are so funny, Fei.” Duo closed his eyes against Wufei’s chest. “That’s what I like about you. You aren’t afraid to show what you feel.” Duo could hear the thump of Wufei’s strong heartbeat against his ear, each beat changing because of Duo’s closeness. “Quatre does things that he knows will get to you. He knows you will react but he only does it out of love, Wufei. He can’t help teasing you.”

Wufei pouted. “I wish he’d keep lov love to himself.”

Duo looked up, staring at Wufei. “That’s not nice, Fei. Quatre’s lonely. I can understand the way Quat feels. My Dad did it to me.”

Not wanting those amethyst orbs upset with him, Wufei caressed Duo’s right cheek. “I do understand, kitten. It’s just he doesn’t need to tease me so much though. It’s irritating.”

Duo leaned closer into the touch. “That may be true but Quatre considered you a brother. My father never let me have anyendsends. He even told me that my own brother didn’t give a damn and I was the reason he left. I discovered my father was and will alway a p a pathological liar and manipulator. Treize loved me. My father just hated anyone that loved me more than him.”

“It’s a shame.”

“Be a brother to Quatre, Fei.” Duo pleaded, looking up at Wufei. “He may be a brat but he’s our brat.” He smiled at Wufei, lowering his head back against the warm chest. “Mmmmm. This feels so nice.”

The atmosphere with the room was warm and very cozy to the two occupants. Wufei’s voice had disappeared, lost within his mind as Duo snuggled into his being enjoying the silence. Wufei’s face was flushed yet again and he desperately wanted to ask Duo about last night. The problem lied in the approach…how could he ask him? “You know we ought to call Quatre. He might…want to talk. I mean…that is if he and his parents didn’t try to kill other.”

“Knowing Quat,” Duo purred, “he’s getting his point across.” Duo closed his eyes, snuggling even closer to Wufei. Wufei radiated strength and Duo needed that strength. Last night beckoned to him for answers. Judging from Wufei’s reactions, he knew Wufei had to be thinking about the same thing also and just didn’t know how to approach the subject. “Wufei…about last night…”

Dark eyes widened before returning back to normal. “Yeah?” He watched, as Duo shyly looked him in the eyes. “I hope I didn’t disappoint…I hope.”

Duo didn’t let him continue. One hand rose to caress Wufei on his left cheek, slowly memorizing every contour on theng mng man’s handsome face. Duo had never seen anything more beautiful in his life than what he was looking at right now. “Beautiful…”

Wufei turned bright red. Duo was looking at him with absolute adoration within his amethyst eyes. It was hard to believe that after all this time of working together and getting to know one another, Wufei felt like he was seeing Duo for the first time all over again. Feather light touches brushed over his face, causing his golden skin to flush darker with each passing second. Softly, he felt petal soft lips touch his and Wufei shivered for more of the gentle touches. He felt himself leaning further into the kiss; deepening the taste as a small spark began to begin its slow pace into a flame.

Duo was in heaven. He couldn’t help himself. Wufei’s mouth was heaven to him and he wanted to explore every single crevice within it. His hands found their way into Wufei’s silky mane and he heard the boy moan in his mouth. A lovely war of tongues began and lithe arms reached out gently as Duo was slowly pushing Wufei back to lie down on the bed. His body molded firmly against the dark-haired demigod but before Duo could get comfortable, a loud shrieking noise disrupted the mood.

Wufei growled in total annoyance. He apologized to Duo while he reached ove the the side of his nightstand. cel cell phone, the one that Angie had gave him, was ringing and he picked up. This was so not the time to interrupt him. “Hello?”

One chestnut eyebrow rose knowing who the person was on the other end of that phone. It wasn’t long before Wufei was gently pushing him off him and was off the bed, searching around his semi clean room for a pen and paper. Duo watched from his spot as Wufei sat back down on the bed and opened the top drawer to his desk, reaching deep within while pulling out said items to write the numbers down as Angie instructed him via phone. Five minutes past by and after promising Angela he would give the information to Xi-Shen later that day, the call ended leaving the boys alone again. Wufei’s attention focused back on Duo.

Wufei sighed. “Sorry about that…” He was about to reach for Duocontcontinue their little play when the regular phone began to ring. Wufei loudly growled his displeasure. He was not a happy dragon. “Hello?!” He yelled into the cordless phone. It was Quatre on the line this time. “What do you want, Quat?”

Duo watched the exchange of words while lying on the bed. Wufei was getting pissed yet again.

“No! I do not feel like…What? That’s blackmail, you blondecho!cho!” Wufei screamed into the phone receiver. He was so going to that kill the blonde! “Fine! Yes, we’ll go. Yes!” Suddenly, Wufei blushed while looking at Duo. “That’s none of your business.” He then slammed the phone back on its receiver…hard.

Duo blinked in confusion. Quatre had said something yet again to erk Wufei’s nerves and just when he was standing up for him. Duo made a decision. He was not going to have a mad Wuffie around him so he did the most obvious thing he could think of at the moment…since his mind was in the gutter anyway. He got behind Wufei while he ranted, pulling his long dark hair from the side of his face to get to more access to his neck. Gently, Duo placed kisses on the Chinese youth’s neck while his hand fingered slightly underneath his shirt to rub circles along Wufei’s chiseled stomach.

Wufei was still grumbled about Quatre’s phone call. “Quatre’s parents were so pissed that they left for a hotel for the night and were leaving the country again afterward. He said he wanted us to come back to his house. He needed some help on a couple of things and he wouldn’t say what.”

Duo ignored everything Wufei said and continued to kiss him on his neck, nibbling along that golden column of skin, upward toward his earlobe. He continued to the lavish the golden lobe with his full attention.

It seemed to be working. Wufei’s bad mood was fading fast and his speech was starting to slur when he tried to continue about the time they had to meet Quatre. “And to…be…there….by….twelve….oooooooooh…cl—oooooh-ck…”

Duo licked upward into the cavity of Wufei’s ear, whispering his satisfaction. “Since…you were so…nice to me…yesterday…you deserve a little treat.” He turned Wufei’s face around to stare him in the eyes. “I really do love you, Wufei.”

Wufei gasped loudly while his fingers clenched the bed covers for dear life. He felt his world tilting. He thought he had dreamed those words last night. He knew he had said them mentally, practicing yelling the simple words with every moan from Duo’s lips but they were said in his mind. But what Wufei lacked in words, his actions conveyed his feelings and spoke volumes between them.

Duo smiled, watching Wufei. Though Wufei had not verbally spoke the actual three words he longed to hear, Duo already knew what Wufei did. Every action from the amusement park until this moment spoke his declaration. Some people are more physically than verbal he thought. Slender fingers danced over golden skin, caressing over a golden brown rock hard stomach that seemed to shiver along the pads of his fingers. Duo enjoyed the tickle his fingers caused the other boy.

Wufei moaned this time. His dark eyes were lowering to mere slits, following the path of the pale fingers on his body. Ebon orbs darkened as they blended into thick watery ink. “I lo…” His voice hitched when Duo’s fingers danced lower playing through a trail of curly hair though not actually touching. The slow tease was causing Wufei’s groin to swell to wakefulness.

Duo brushed his lips against the side of Wufei’s temple, removing his hand from Wufei’s stomach and gliding upward across his clothed chest and towards the Chinese teenager’s strong shoulders as he gently pulled the boy back on the bed.

Onyx ink glazed over as Wufei felt his head tilt back against the bed. He watched as Duo grabbed a pillow from the top of the bed to place it under his head just to make sure the dark haired bishounen was comfortable. A low moan rose from his throat and Wufei didn’t realized it was him making the sound. All he knew was he needed more friction as his hips arched upwards from the bed.

Duo smiled down on his masterpiece. Wufei looked good enough to eat as his dark hair spread across the down pillow like a fan. The budge within Wufei’s pants displayed itself for Duo and the sight was beautiful. He couldn’t wait. He had to unwrap his china boy. Duo gently placed his hand on Fei’s groin, measuring how aroused Wufei was. His smile morphed into a smirk. Wufei could be harder. Duo decido teo test his theory. “Oh…you’re a big boy.” He kneeled down, rubbing his face against Wufei’s clothed groin and made sure he faced Wufei. “Is this all mine, dragon?”

If Wufei could get any harder…He bit his lip, knowing full well his parents were in the house. There was no question how vocal he could get in the midst of pleasure and judging by his reaction to Duo’s ministration if he didn’t release soon, he was going to be in some serious pain. There was no turning back at this point.

Chang Ai Meng stirred the rice porridge for the morning meal before moving on to the rest of the breakfast items to prepare. Her husband sat at the kitchen table drinking a cup of tea while reading the day’s paper looking yet again for the latest news on his eldest son’s accomplishments. She shook her head watching her husband. Xi-Shen was such a good child and highly intelligent. He was everything a mother would want in a son. It had to come from her side of the family. It was a miracle that her arraigned marriage to Ryu, though he was a perverted bastard, could give her such intelligent children. But of all the accomplishments her children could achieve…she was still a bit worried for some reason. Her youngest son worried her the most.

As a child, her baby dragon was always in a book or with her father. She worried when Wufei spent most of his time with her fa eve even to the time of his death learning the old ways from the old country instead of being Americanized. Forhilehile she thought he would turn into prejudicial brat but he surprised her with his outgoing outlook. Much of this had to be because of Heero’s influence. She smiled. Thank goodness for the Yuy family. All she ever wanted from her youngest child was to go to college to get a good education and be happy. She didn’t care if his future mate was male or female as long as he was happy which is why she didn’t mind when she discovered her baby was in love with another boy.

Her husband had joked about it, teasing her for wanting to date the lad herself but the looks Wufei would give his father was enough to stop the conversation. It was about time Wufei found some happiness. The fiasco with Meiran needed to be put to rest. “Honey, could you get Fei? I don’t want his food to get cold.”

Ryu tried to ignore his wife as best he could to try to stall for time for Wufei. He knew the boy was upstairs up to no good. “Yes, dear. In a minute.”

Ai Meng glared at her husband. “And you are going to move when?”

Shaking the paper, Ryu sighed thinking how Wufei and his guest had better have clothes on. “Alright! I’m going. I’m going.” He put the paper down and rose from the table. He then proceeded to follow his wife’s orders against his better logic.

~****~

Wufei was trying his best not to yell. He was biting his lip to keep from making any more noise. Duo was avidly staring down at his groin while he rubbed and squeezed the area not wanting to pull down Wufei’s pants just yet. The boy seemed determined to make Wufei cum without being indecent.

Duo couldn’t help himselach ach caress against Wufei’s groin caused a different sound and movement against his hand. He had the poor boy squirming on the bed biting the hell out of his lip to the point of breaking the skin and drawing blood. When Duo saw this, he stopped giving Wufei time to pant hard. “Seems you’re enjoying this, dragon dear, but I have another treat…”

If Wufei’s eyes could get any wider….

Duo got up from his knees and crawled on top of Wufei until he straddled the boy’s lap. His clothes were still on and he made sure he aligned his plumb bottom against the aroused member while he grabbed for Wufei’s right hand to place it on his own aroused member. “Dragon….” Duo purred before he tilted hiad tad to the side in a seductive manner. “Kitty wants some more…”

Wufei’s mouth dropped open and he groaned very loudly this time. He did not want any interruptions at all. He reached over slightly for his remote control and turned his system on loud.

The movements began slowly but Duo began to give Wufei a lap dance he would never forget. Round and round Duo grinded against Wufei smiling as Wufei’s breathing quickened. He held Wufei’s hand in place against his own groin so he would be pleasured at the same time. Slowly, Duo bent down to kiss Wufei while Wufei eagerly grabbed his beautiful heart-shaped face with his free hand and kissed Duo breath away.

Wufei was lost. He couldn’t take it anymore. He was determined to cum at all cost as his pace sped up on Duo’s groin. He stopped, giving both himself and Duo time to breathe. Words were not needed as his glazed chocolate fell into amaryllis dew. He removed his hand from Duo’s groin much to Duo’s annoyance and leaned. His hands caress from the top of’s m’s messy hair down his neck and back and settled on Duo’s waist. Duo, by instinct wrapped his arms and legs tighter around Wufei’s waist and Wufei pulled themselves as tightly to each other as humanly possible as he went for broke.

Duo held on tight, wrapping his arms even tighter around Wufei’s neck and helped Wufei bring them both off as he bucked against Wufei. Strong hands held tightly to his buttocks and Duo could feel his hardness lined up against Wufei’s. He moaned and panted “more” into Wufei’s ears.

“Just a little bit more…” Wufei thought when he bucked harder against the form. Sweat dripping down the side of his face. He was almost there. He could feel the tingle rising…just a little bit more….

~***~

Ryu was about to knock on his son’s door when he heard the loud music blasting from the room. There was no way Wufei would be able to hear him. milemiled, knowing what those two were probably doing and being the nosy parent that he was…he decided to take matter into his own hands. He smirked as he placed his ear against the door and remained silent as he tried to listen in on the two.

~***~

“There! There!” Duo moaned continuously while panting loudly in Wufei’s ear. Suddenly a deep shiver traveled up Duo’s spine and he bit his lip to keep quiet. His darkened eyes closed involuntary and his body tensed along with Wufei’s. Both boys tightening their grip around each other as the grinding continued while they were coming like a maelstrom. The creation of the universe erupted within their mind and stars exploded through every single pore of their body. Never had they felt like that just from hungry caresses and desperate touches.

Wufei was no better shape. His body was still tingling and he couldn’t stop clawing at Duo’s back. He had never came so hard. He was still trying to catch his breath gently caressing Duo’s hair while the chestnut haired teenager continued to hold him.

Suddenly the door opened and Wufei’s father was standing in the doorway about to make a statement much to the horror of Wufei. Wufei shot up so fast throwing Duo off of his lap while reaching for the closest thing within his reach, which happened to be his alarm clock. His father ran out the room retreating for his life feeling the bunt of the clock cracked against his back of his head. “OOOOUUUUUTTT!!!” Wufei yelled, panting with fiery fury burning in his eyes.

Ryu snickered. “Hey, lover boy! Your mother said to get up and come down for breakfast. I’ll let her know that you up and you’re coming down in ten minutes once you get cleaned up.” His laughter disappeared back down the stairs.

“Itai!” Duo rubbed his butt, getting up from the floor wobbly.

Clutching hard to his chest, Wufei stared daggers at his bedroom door, mentally daring his father to step back in his room unannoun Her Here was another reason Wufei despised his father-the man was a pervert. The moment he had reach adolescent, his father‘s sick behavior had reached an all- hig high. He knew Wufei had company and he could bet the old man was bidding his time to pester him in one way or another. The music blasting as loud as it was had to be a clue not to enter into Wufei’s domain but did his father care? Hell no! Wufei could see that from last night just from his father’s eyes when the man had just a glimpse at his Duo. The man that was supposed to be his father became an instant threat.

Wufei tried hard to get his breathing under control but his stupid father had to go and mess up a precious moment for him….Wait a minute! Where was Duo? His eyes bugged out of their sockets. His Duo was on the floor! How the teenager got there was a mystery! “ACK!” Wufei screawhenwhen he finally realized what he had done. He leaped from the bed, helping up his boyfriend from the floor. “I am so sorry! Are you okay?” He gently took Duo’s arm, dusting the rest of him off before leading him back to the bed. Wufei never felt more embarrassed as his blush deepened gazing at Duo’s state. Then his mind dropped like a cone on a hot summer day. “I’m going murder my Dad…”

The floor had hurt like hell against his rump. When that door had suddenly flew open, just as he had reached orgasmic bliss, Duo didn’t have time to react. Wufei had reacted before he even had a chance to move a toe before he found himself flying to the floor. It was so embarrassing to be caught by your boyfriend’s father after you just met him the night before but if you truly thought about everything that they had been through in the course of two days, this was normal behavior. Duo started to giggle at the hilarity of the situation. At least they were not caught naked. He let Wufei help him back to the bed, who was deeply apologetic for his reaction as he checked his body for injury. Duo had to smile from Wufei’s fussing over him. “I’m fine, dragon. Guess I to to give you another treat later.” He walked up close to Wufei, kissing him soundly and replied, “I’ll shower first.”

Wufei blinked in confusion, dumbstruck by Duo’s words. Then as quickly as it happened, a smirk bloomed on the Chinese teenager’s features. He couldn’t wait until later.

~***~

A blast of steam exited the door as the doors to Quatre’s privbathbathroom opened and closed with a light swoosh. The person exiting said bathroom, rubbed his messy chocolate mass of hair vigorously with a fy wfy white towel while another one was wrapped firmly around his slender hips. Water glistened from his perfect muscles, caressing each peck like morning dew. The only thing that made that glorious body appear even better was the cutest bunny slippers to ever be created covering his feet. The scene was priceless. Heero continued to towel dry his hair, his mind seemingly in deep thought when he heard Quatre calling out for him.

“Hee-chan!”

Heero wrapped the towrounround his neck and walk causally into the adjacent bedroom. He looked around, seeing a room identical to the one next door just in a different color. The voice repeated again and Heero walked over to what appeared to be a walk-in closet. “Quatre? Okay, where are you?”

“I’m right here…”

Heero turned around and his eyes bugged out. Standing in the doorway of the den, wearing a silk kimono stood Quare, one satin shoulder standing bare to the world while one slim pale leg bent against the wall. He looked like liquid sex. “Uh…are you okay, Quat?”

“Of course! I was just wondering if you were done using the hot water.”

Blood dripped down towards Heero’s mouth and he raised his hand to investigate. Prussian eyes widened in surprise. Damn! The boy made his nose bleed. “You are really pushing it, baby.” He suddenly stalked over to Quatre, grabbing thondeonde dream around the waist and pulled him closer to his wet muscular body.

Quatre giggled, letting the kimono fall off both of his shoulders as the garment became trapped within the crook of his arms. He made a very seductive picture. “I’m sorry for calling you over so early that you didn’t have time to shower. I just didn’t want to be alone after Zechs left this morning.” One slender finger rose, twirling little circles into Heero’s chest.

Heero seemed to have lost his voice for a moment. “Ummmm…” Slowly, beads of sweat appeared on Heero’s brow and he began to physically heat up. It appeared that the warmth from the room wasn’t what was causing the temperature to rise for our dear football captain in the presence of his seductive boyfriend. “It’s okay. I was going to come over earlier anyway to check on you.”

Heero was worried for him. That was the sweetest thing Quatre heard. He smiled. “Thanks…”

Heero held Quatre closer to him. “Can’t let anything happened to my baby.”

Quarte sighed as placed his head on Heero’s shoulder for comfort. His finger fiddled with his sleeves soaking in the smell of his Heero. “I can’t believe they left again. With Zechs’ help, I had the strength to tell them everything and how I really felt. You know what they did? They just told me if I ever locked them out again they’d ground me. I’m throuith ith them, Heero.”

“Well…” Heero began, lowering his face to nuzzle into Quatre’s hair. “At least you spoke your peace. That was all I wanted you to do. Now, I’m going take you away from all this drama and get your room ready at the house.”

Quatre still could not believe Heero was serious about moving into his home. He closed his eyes, loving the tender touches of Heero on him. “I know.” Slowly, his eyes opened again while he began to poke Heero in the chest with his fingers. “It’ll be hard for you though. I’m used to such lovely upkeep.”

The statement just made Heero roll his eyes. “Trust me. You’ll get used to being ordinary when you are around my family. We will just have to save your money for your college fund.”

“There is no need for that, Heero.” Quatre smiled while nuzzling into Heero’s chest. “I’ve already got my own bank account. I don’t spend all my money on frivolous stuff. At least my parents do give me money. I’m saved up for college and then some.” He snorted. “But I could probably get a free ride with scholarships anyway.”

Heero ruffled Quatre’s hairs, forcing him to looked up and pout his annoyance. “Yup! There is a big ole brain in that bubble head.” Quatre growled at him but he retaliated by kissing his forehead to calm him down. “Now come and give me my honey, baby…”

Just when Quatre was about to lean up to give his boyfriend his much expected kisses one of the phones in the room rung. Quatre growled in annoyance as he left the security of Heero’s arms and walked over to the phone. He grumbled the moment he picked up when the butler informed him who was at the door. His posture slumped forward. “Ugh. I forgot I called Duo and Wufei to come over to help.”

Heero was pouted cutely. “No taste? Not even a little one before they come up?”

A lovely smirk appeared on Quatre’s face. Seductively, he walked back over into the circle of Heero’s arms. Heero nuzzled his face while wisps of his blonde hair caressed against Quatre’s cheek. He smiled listening lovingly to Heero’s purrs of enjoyment.

Heero was in heaven. Quatre felt as well as smelled good. He didn’t care if the golden boy within his arms didn’t wash for the rest of his life. Quatre was absolutely perfect. “Mmmm! You smell so good.”

Quatre frowned, already knowing where this conversation was going. “I’d smell even better if you let me take my shower.” He watched as Heero frowned. Quatre pouted. He didn’t want Heero upset with him so he placed a very chaste kiss on the taller boy’s lips and slowly tried to tug Heero out of the bathroom so he could finish dressing before Wufei and Duo arrived. He had a problem though. He was dealing with a highly aroused boyfriend and what you want is not always what you get.

The moment Quatre left his arms, a deep emptiness filled Heero. He didn’t like feeling like that. The drama of last night starto tao take effect as he grabbed Quatre bto hto him, kissing him as he pushed the lithe teenager against the side rig right by the bathroom. Heat slowly began to pool in Heero’s groin and erotic visions of what he really wanto doo do raced within his mind. If Quatre would only listen to his hormones like Heero’s were yelling at him to do. A simple glimpse from those aquamarine diamonds and Heero was mentally pleading with Quatre with his own Prussian jewels. Within his mind, ideas of great pleasure pulsated, screaming for some action of some sort…actions that could give them both extreme pleasures…. if only his boyfriend would listen.

Quatre didn’t know what to do. His resolve was slipping while his bed stood only a few steps away…

“Ah hmmmnnn….”

Both boys jumped, both looking like they were caught in the infamous cookie jar before they turned towards the direction of the voice that just spoke. Standing there in the doorway, leaning against the frame without a care in the world, was Chang Wufei. His companion, one Duo Maxwell, was snickering beside him and waving hello to the bewildered couple. Quatre’s eyes were popping out of his head as well as Heero, who was still in a towel. His glazed vision cleaned up rapidly, sobering up his drunken mode in seconds as he looked at his brother in law and his companion. Quatre just pulled up his kimono, straightened the delicate robe over his shoulders and swearing vengeance on Heero for to allowing him to dress in time.

“Wufei…”

“Hmmmph!” Wufei began, folding his arms over his chest. “Serves you right for calling me THAT early in the morning!” Duo began laughing behind him.

Quatre smirked, not letting a little ole thing like nudity embarrass him. “You two were probably doing some “horizontal speedway” anyway and needed to be interrupted. “

Wufei blushed a deep red coloring while Duo stopped in mid breath and followed Wufei with a similar expression.

“Hah!” Quatre yelled, answering his own question about the exploits of the two when they were left alone together last night. Boy did he love to tease Wufei and he sincerely hoped Duo was okay. If Wufei made him cry, the dark haired boy would suffer his wraith.

“Quatre…” Duo glared as he regained his composure back. “I wouldn’t talk. You were disturbing a very personal moment…” He smirked internally; proud of his aggression ness as he watched Quatre’s bunny ears droop in regret.

‘Oh! Sorry Duo!”

Duo smiled, walking over to Quatre to hug him. He was happy. He had his best friends and his boyfriend with him. Speaking of his boyfriend, said boy was grumbling next to him. “Oh sure!” Wufei muttered by him.” If I had said that you’d like ‘so what, Fei!”

Quatre stuck his tongue out at Wufei. “I like Duo.”

Duo practically glowed from that admission and grabbed Quatre in a tight hug.

“And I love Quatre! He’s like the twin brother I’ve never had. Not to say Treize isn’t great but Quatre is more my speed.”

Quatre was so happy that Duo really did care about him that he began to sing, “Incest is Best!” to the guys and only stopped when Duo bonked him on the head.

“Gods, I hope not!”

The four teenagers turned again towards the bedroom door and were greeted by Quatre’s older brother and boyfriend. A blonde eyebrow as as Quatre looked at his brother. “What are you doing here?” He questioned suspiously. Some habits were hard to break. “I thought you pledged never to step back in the house?”

Zechs smirked and looked at Trowa. Trowa smiled. “He’s moving out. He called me this morning to help him.”

“Well….” Zechs replied quietly, while wrapping an arm around Trowa’s slim w. Wh. When I left last night to get some air to cool off, I had to call Trowa. I just needed to hear his voice.” He looked over at the young arm next to him, staring into his glowing green eyes. “We talked a bit and we came to a decision. I’m moving in with him. It was easy.”

Trowa snickered. “Yeah…easy. My matemate’s decision to finally to live with his fiancé had no bearing on his decision.” He smirked even more with Zechs gave him the look.

Quatre was speechless for a moment. “Wow! That’s…nice.”

Zechs removed his arm from around Trowa’s waist and walked over to his baby brother. “I’m still going to see if you are okay, Quatre. I’ll pop by everyor wor week however you want it. You can call me if you need to talk anytime. I mean it, Kitkat.”

Quatre blushed to the tip of his golden locks. He totally forgot that nickname his brother gave him as a toddler. The two brothers looked at each other as if for the first time, each measuring the sincerity of the words.

“And that reminds me…” Zechs looked Quatre up and down. “What’s with the kimono? Have you been in my closet again?”

If Quatre couldn’t get any redder… ”I did not. You are not the only with good taste in this house.” Then he smiled. “I’m just glad there is finally an understandingweenween us, Mil. You’re never done me wrong and just because we’re different ages with different interest does not mean we can’t be friends.”

Heero smiled.

Zechs walked up to his little brother. “I hope you don’t start to think that I’m like Mom and Dad.”

“I know you aren’t like them.” Quatre sighed sick of thinking about his obnoxious parents. At least he had allies for his cause and would never be alone again. “Is anyone hungry? I can have cook make breakfast.”

Duo glared and Quatre was talking back by its seriousness. “You’re not cooking, Quatre. I am.”

“Okay, Duo. Sheesh! The kitchen is yours for the morning.”

“Great! Now I can show Wufei what I can really do!”

Quatre chuckled. “Really? Other than being his main course?”

Wufei blushed but Duo prepared for the come back. “And his side dish…dessert…”

Heero and Trowa had to cover their mouths trying valiantly to hold back their laughter watching the combatants battlele Zle Zechs smirked, impressed by the longhaired brunette.

Quatre wasn’t finishing by a long shot. “But wait! Wufei doesn’t like sushi…you want me to hold your clothes while I go get the perfect seasonings…”

Wufei covered his ears and yelled running out the door. “I can’t hear you, you two perverts!” The only sounds left were the thumping of i’s i’s soles against the floor and him running down the stairs into another room before there was the sound of a door slamming. Heero finally fell to floor in laughter along with his brother while Quatre happily pulled Duo with him out the door. Zechs yelled at the two brothers for their outrageous behavior, though he was laughing himself. With a little encouragement on his part, he finally got Trowa and Heero off the floor and out the door to follow behind his brother.

~***~

The kitchen was buzzing with excitement as a storm erupted within the complex. The kitchen help looked on in awe as they watched the longhaired teenager control their kitchen like a master. Duo didn’t think anything of it as he zoomed around the room like there was twenty of him. One of the helpers thought Duo looked a masterf pef personally preparing a meal for a king. The teenager’s braid was zipping around behind him until Duo stopped in mid run and twisted his braid around itself like a bun. He then pinned it up by pushing the end under and pulling it through the middle. Then he was off again as he ran from the fridge with various foods and condiments.

Soon the counter top was filled with three dozen eggs, fresh chives, a container of sour cream, small red potatoes, three packs of bacon, two pounds of boar head ham, two packs of turkey sausages, and other items for Duo’s supreme breakfast menu. Frying pans zoomed in the air landing unscathed on the counter top and the radio was on full blast as Duo danced around the kitchen. Quatre’s head cook Velma giggled at Duo’s antics admiring the way the bouncing teenager prepared his meal so quickly. She watched as onions were chopped without tears and the potatoes were skinned, cleaned and finally cut up into small pieces in mere moments to be placed in a bowl. A cast iron skillet was slowly heated on medium flame and a dollop of virgin olive oil was placed it in. The potatoes thrown in the pot and seasonings were added and the pot was covered three fourths of the way.

The rest of the gang watched in shock as Duo went through the motions of preparing the meal. He was efficient if not brilliant from cracking the eggs with one hand to not burning the sausages or himself. Wufei had never felt more proud in his life.

“Duo…” Quatre began, pulling down plates to place on a side counter, “Don’t forget. I don’t eat meat.”

“I know.” Duo countered, while stirring some batter for homemade pancakes. “I’m making you a veggie omelet.”

“Damn!” Zech yelled, while he nudged Wufei. “Can I have one?”

Wufei looked at Zechs like he was crazy. “One of what?”

Zechs pointed to the zooming chef with the chestnut bun. Wufei frowned and then he smiled a very toothy grin like a little boy who had just received his Christmas gift. “Nope!”

Half an hour later, seats within the spacious dining area was filled to the tee with the kitchen help and the boys. Velma sat at the head, named as the guest of honor for all her hard work. The items on the table were mouthwatering. Pancakes were stacked high on a plate with warm maple syrup and creamy butter. On another plate, scrambled eggs fluffy from the sour cream and chive glowed like a taste of sunshine. Home fries were cooked to golden brown flavored with green peppers, onions, garlic and other spices that smelled heavenly to everyone. There was also crispy bacon, juicy sausages as well as slices of warmed honeyed ham. The last items on the table were pitchers of orange juice and milk. Duo clapped his hands and placed his hands on his hips. “All done.”

The room soon filled with applause and Duo blushed to the roots of his hair. Soon everyone stood up and Duo felt even more embarrassed as everyone gave him a standing ovation. He turned to Wufei and Wufei gave him a smile that only appeared for him. Zechs faked his tears and Trowa slapped him in the head. The room soon filled with laughter and Quatre smiled. He looked around the room as plates were passed gazing at all the happy faces. Memories of last night’s nightmare disappeared and his vision was filled with love before him. Here was his family-this jumbled bunch of workers who loved him like a son instead of an employer. He wasn’t alone anymore. Not when he had the love of friends, his brother and his love. Yes. He was happy and judging from the way everyone was chatting and teasing Duo…Duo was happy too.

~***~

People walked the crowded street, bustlingly from one store to next only caring about their destinations. It would seem like a typically morning as owners opened their shops for another day and the city seemed to come alive from its nightly slumber of inactivity into action. Mothers pushed their baby carriages while others walked on the pavement holding the tiny hands of their prodigy, laughing with their private games shared between a mother and child. It seemed innocent, an ordinary day…but miracles begin in ordinary ways.

While the horns from the various cars honked along the street from the ongoing traffic and the ridiculous pace set before them, no one noticed the flash of light like a lightening bolt striking an area in a deserted alley. No one noticed that time was stopped for one minute. Amidst the filth and debris of the abandoned space a being suddenly materialized from the space where the light had touch. Light seemed to illuminate from the entity’s body, shadowing its face while hiding the light from anyone to see.

Normal clothing including shoes melded out of nowhere covering the entity’s form and judging from the curves, it appeared to be a woman. Long hair was twirled into a bun and dark shades covered her eyes. A hand rose to pale skin as if it was the first time she had felt it. Two suitcases magically appeared next to her feet on the floor filled to the brim with clothes. She looked upward and smiled. She then picked up the suitcases and walked out of the alleyway clicking her shoes against the pavement like it was nothing wrong in the world.

She looked around her, watching as the people walked by especially the young mothers with their children. She stood still for a moment. Her head tilted to the side and she said strange words ignoring all who walked byithiithin one’s lifetime, a soul must come to the crossroads of destiny and choose the path that is appropriate for them. If destiny lays in the soul of the believer, and to be human is the gift of free will, which one would you choose if you really had a choice? “

She smiled again and walked off into the town that would be her home for a little while.

To be continued…
