school adversary

Epilogue


I glared angrily at John, the guy facing me across the puck on the clear, cold icy playing field. These last few weeks had been hell, with him and Ben deciding that being gay just was not natural, and
therefore would not be tolerated. He and Ben had then made our lives increasingly difficult. They left
snide, crude notes in my locker, rude pictures were drawn of the three of us, not to mention Quatre
and Trowa. Nothing could be proved however, and they wouldn't dare try anything in front of anyone
else, as not much of the school community minded, much to my surprise. In the first few weeks, there
had been tension, but then other same sex couples had started coming out of the closet, and people
were forced to the realization that it wasn't just nameless people who were gay, but friends and family
as well. Being homosexual stopped carrying such a stigma after that, and people were much more
relaxed. The whole worm/jock thing was still a sore spot, but it was becoming less and less of an
issue. There would always be rivalry, but now it looked more friendly than anything else.

John grinned at me through his mask and looked sideways to where Heero was standing slightly
nervously to my right. After finding out that Heero could play ice-hockey as well as Wufei, and a lot of
persuading on Wufei and my parts, Heero had finally conceded to try out for the hockey team. It was
no surprise to me when he got in.

It was, however, a surprise for everyone else.

So anyway, Heero had been on the team for one week before my cast came off, and in that time he
had gotten quite a few bruises from Ben and John, all in the name of 'sport' of course. And now, Wufei
and I were going to give them a few bruises, in the name of sport.

The coach blew the whistle, and I hit the puck past John and flew after it, getting it quickly down the
other end where I passed it to Ris, who shot a goal. The whistle blew once more and we all went back
to our starting positions. This time, John managed to get the puck over to Ben who powered down
towards our goal, passing it to another one of their team members.

The game progressed like this for a few more goals, but then Heero got hold of the puck down the
other end of the rink from where I was and was preparing to shoot a goal.

Ben and John clothes-lined him.

I saw red.

I flew down the rink, Wufei close behind me, desperately trying to catch Ben and/or John when either
of them had the puck, to give either of us an excuse to pound the bastard into the wall. John passed
control of the puck over to Ben, who began to skate up the side of the rink. I built up some more
speed, lowered my shoulder, and slammed into Ben, crunching him into the wall.

He crumpled to the ice, and I hit the puck over to Wufei, who drove it back down the rink. I smirked
down at Ben evilly. "Sorry about that Ben, all in the name of sport you know." I grinned at him as he
glared futilely up at me. The rest of the mock match passed in much the same way, with me actually
getting a two minute time-out because of rough play. But it was worth it. It was such a great feeling,
knowing that those two were getting exactly what they deserved, and Wufei and I knew exactly how to
give it to them. We normally played extremely fair, always on the offensive, not defensive when it
came to being a little heavy handed. However, we had both been playing for a long time, and we knew
every trick in the book, legal and not. It was in this way that we repaid Ben and John three times over
what they had given Heero.

Needless to say, they would never bother anybody about their sexual preferences again.

That night Heero raged at us for what we had done. I stood calm in the wake of his storm, blandly
telling him that I loved him, I always would, and so his pain became my own. I then informed him that I
liked to stick up for myself, and would allow no-one to cause me pain without them getting a little
back. He glared and Wufei and I accusingly, Wufei having taken on the same attitude. We would not
back down, however, and he soon found himself being seduced by two very determined boys.

Heero Yuy is stubborn, but we are persuasive, and very good with our hands (so I'm told). He gave in
to us, and after that little hiccup, we seldom fight. There was this one incident with a muffin, a banana
and a spork, (don't ask) but apart from that, I was completely happy with my two lovers.
