Isn't life just a kick in the crotch

Sorry for the long wait. I got a bit stuck with this version of the fiction. But I now have a plan and I know what's going to happen so updates should go faster from now on :)

Chapter 8

The day after the phone call came with dark rain clouds and nervous young men.

Wufei paced back and forth in front of the couch where a fidgeting Duo sat with his back hunched.

Wufei took a deep breath. "If we are going to do this, we are going to do it for real." He paused. "Duo, will you be my boyfriend?"

The braided man snickered. "Do I get to fill out a note with yes, no or maybe?"

Wufei could feel himself relax at the sight the smile that was spreading over his friend’s face. "Sure, if that's what you want."

Duo leaned back against the couch pillows with his arms crossed. "Yes Wu, I'll be your boyfriend." It was obvious that he was trying to be patronizing but his wide, happy grin spoiled the effect.

"So how are we going to do this?" Duo asked and put his feet up on the coffee table.

Wufei sat down next to his new boyfriend with a sigh. "I was thinking that we could try the human’s adaptability method this time. Just... very slowly."

Duo reached out and took his hand. "Like this?" he asked, gently stroking his thumb over the side of Wufei’s hand.

"That was actually a bit slower than I had in mind," Wufei said before he folded his legs underneath him and leaned towards Duo's startled face.

There was a slight pause before their lips met. Softly they started to move hesitating lips against each other. It was a careful kiss, like they almost couldn't believe that they were actually doing it. But as seconds passed they leaned in closer and the kiss grew more heated. Duo had a hand in the back of Wufei's neck, who in turn was using Duo's thigh to support his weight.

Duo was making small, pleased sounds that sent tingles down Wufei's spine.

The Asian’s mind seemed to only want one thing. 'Closer.' With that thought Wufei started to press Duo down into the couch pillows.
d their – in the beginning – innocent kiss had turned into something wild and uncontrollable. Wet, almost violent kisses were exchanged.

Duo suddenly flipped them around and Wufei blinked in surprise when he found himself lying on his back. Duo leaned down to kiss him again and Wufei hesitated slightly before responding. He was very aware of Duo's hands that was slowly moving over his body. Before, he had just been relaxed and lost in the action, but now there was a new tensed awareness that was slowly working its way through him. He tried to ignore it, tried to force himself to enjoy it, but the feeling kept growing. He tried to concentrate on kissing Duo back but he felt off, like he had forgotten how to move his lips. Wufei stiffened when he felt Duo's hands on his crotch. And not in a good way.

"Sorry." Duo quickly snatched his hands away but the mood was already lost.

Wufei tried to apologize but he couldn't find the words to do so. He was the one who had started this and he was the one who insisted that they should try again, not to mention that he was the one who had kissed Duo in the first place. It wasn't that he didn't like to kiss him, because he did. It was just that he had started to feel uncomfortable as soon as Duo's hand had touched him. The difference became more obvious and reminded him that this wasn't one of his girlfriends; this was his 'boyfriend' that was touching him!

"I- I just..."

"You're not ready. It's okay Wu, don't worry about it. I'm just going to have to get used to taking cold showers." He said it with a grin but Wufei could still see the frustration behind it.

A realization hit Wufei right between the eyes. "God, I'm the girlfriend who won’t put out," he groaned.

Duo burst out laughing.

Wufei glared. "It's not funny. I'm not a girl!"

"Oh, I know that you're not. I definitely know that," the braided man said as he got to his feet and discreetly rearranged his crotch.

Wufei sighed and stared up at the ceiling like it could give him the answers that he needed.

"I'm sorry Duo. I didn't mean to chicken out. I just... froze. Maybe I'm thinking too much again, like you are always telling me that I am. We could try again.... Shit, maybe this wasn't the right way to do this."

Duo sat down on the floor and leaned back against the couch with his head next to Wufei's. "Don't worry about it. We got all the time in the world to try this."

"What if I'm just leading you on? What if I can't do it?" Wufei whispered.

Duo swallowed thickly. "Yeah, well that's a risk I'm willing to take."

"Gods, why do you put up with me? I wind you up only to turn around and freak out on you as soon as we are getting somewhere."

"You're my best friend and…I love you."

Wufei turned over on to his side and curled up around Duo's leaned back head. "I haven't heard you say that to me since the first time."

Duo shrugged. "I didn't want to make you uncomfortable."

"I'm not. I just... how could I have missed it?" He slowly stroked Duo's temple with his fingertips.

"You had enough on your plate. Your teenage years weren’t exactly a walk on roses."

Wufei snorted. "No, but still. I should have known. Of all the people in my life I always considered myself to be closest to you. But how could I be when I missed this... when you couldn't tell me this?"

Duo turned around and got up on his knees. Wufei looked up at him with lost eyes. "Wu. No, don't think like that. We were still close, we -are- still that close, it's just that... I refused to risk losing you -because- we were that close."

"You really thought that you would lose me if you told me?" he asked in a sad voice.

Duo sighed and put his elbows down on the edge of the couch. "I- no, maybe not lose but... I don't know. I guess that I didn't want you to pity me."

"I never would. You are one of the strongest people I know."

Duo snorted and leaned his head against his hand. "Yeah right."

"No, I mean it. You were always there for me, no matter what, no matter when. I never thanked you for that did I?"

"You can buy me ice cream tomorrow,” Duo said with a grin.

Wufei laughed. "Loon."

"Well you're dating me. What does that say about you?"

Wufei smiled as he grabbed hold of the dangling braid in front of him and pulled his boyfriend down to him. He nibbled softly on a slightly swollen bottom lip before kissing him. It was a slow, almost lazy kiss that seemed to last forever. Wufei tangled his fingers deep into Duo's thick hair as he cupped his chin with the other. Their lips danced against each other and it didn't take long before the kiss grew more heated. It was like they couldn't help themselves.

Duo was making those low, pleased noises again, the ones that made Wufei want to force more out of him. Rearranging his grip on the braid he pulled Duo's head away from him. He smiled as a disappointed sound ripped itself from Duo's throat. "Wu, what's wrong?" his boyfriend asked in a slightly breathless voice. The Asian didn't answer. Instead he tilted Duo's head to the side and started to kiss and lick his way down his neck.

Duo was panting, but no more low noises made their way out. Feeling challenged, he shoved Duo down and to the side. Making sure that the other man wouldn't hit his head on the coffee table he pushed Duo's back to the floor and straddled his waist.

"Woah, what happened to taking it slow?" Duo teased in a breathless voice.

"Change of plans."

He leaned down and kissed his boyfriend hard. He wrapped his tongue around Duo's and shivered in delight as he felt hard metal against his tongue. He let his hands wander over the flat chest underneath him.

If he didn't stop to analyze everything then there was just skin under his hands. The chest might be flat but it was just a chest. The mouth against his was just a mouth and the tongue was just a tongue. A hot, flexible tongue that sent his head spinning, but still just a tongue.


Wufei could feel himself freezing up again when he felt Duo's hands on his waistline.

Duo must have felt it too because he once again ripped his hands away from him. "Chill, Wu. Look here." Duo said and waved his hands in front of his face. He then raised them above his head and grabbed hold of the thick, dark blue rug that he was lying on. "I'm going to keep them here. No worries."

Wufei looked up at Duo's raised arms and his tight grip. "I'm not really into bondage, you know."

Duo just rolled his eyes. "It seem simple to me. My hands freak you out so I wont use them. Easy."

Wufei didn't look convinced but Duo pressed on. "Let's just try it out. I'm not saying that I'm always going to do this, I just think it's a good way to start and get used to everything. Okay?"

Wufei hesitated but nodded. "So, you are not going to move your hands?"

Duo shook his head and flexed his arms to get comfortable.

Wufei leaned down and their lips meet again. Stretching out on top of the taller man Wufei once again got lost in their kiss. Wufei gasped in both surprise and pleasure as Duo rubbed his leg up against his awakening cock. Desire started to grow and their hips moved against each other.

Duo was so hot beneath him and Wufei grinded his hips downwards. It felt so good, it was maddening.

Every little sound that came from the other man fuelled him on and made him work harder to hear more of them.

The world circled around them, nothing existed except their movements, their kisses and the pleasure that kept climbing higher and higher.

With a heart stopping rush, Wufei came violently in his pants and by the strangled sound that came from the other man, so did Duo.

Rolling off his lover, Wufei stared up at the ceiling. His mind was a jumble of thoughts and emotions. He wanted to leave, to run, to stay, to sink through the floor. He wanted to fall asleep next to his new lover, he wanted Duo to go away and never come back. He felt good, he couldn't remember ever feeling this bad. It was like everything inside of him had fallen out of place, like he was lost in his own body.

"Are you okay?" Duo's voice asked with his breath against the Chinese man’s cheek.

Wufei swallowed thickly. "I- yeah. Fine."

"Yeah right. You’re freaking out again, Wu," Duo replied calmly.

Broken laughter left the Asian’s mouth. "You're right. I am."

Duo sat up and looked down at him. "Everything is alright, don't worry. If you just stop over-analyzing everything for a second you'll be just fine. Now get up, go shower and we'll watch 'Vicious Blood 2' on TV."

Wufei blinked. "You rented Vicious Blood 2?"

"No, it's on TV, so you only have fifteen minutes to get ready," Duo said as he got to his feet and held his hand out to Wufei.

The smaller man let himself be pulled to his feet only to grimace at the sticky feeling in his pants. "I need to change."

"You know where my clothes are, now go shower and I'll make popcorn." He gesticulated for him to go.

Wufei nodded and started walking towards Duo's bedroom. He paused and turned to his friend. "Thanks."

Duo just smiled. "Any time, Wu."

:-:-:-:-:-:-

The next day Duo opened his apartment door to let his new boyfriend in.

Wufei held out a package of blueberry ice cream. "You did say that you wanted ice cream."

Duo grinned. "Yeah, it's perfect. Let me get some spoons."

They sat down on the warm concrete floor of Duo's balcony with their backs against the wall. The sun was shining and through the railing they could see people strolling by.

Getting their spoons out, they started to dig into the ice cream.

"I think we should tell everyone," Wufei said suddenly, before licking some stray ice cream off his finger.

Duo blinked. "What? About the dating?"

"Yeah. We’re doing this for real this time, there’s no reason to keep it quiet." Wufei took another spoonful of his ice cream from the box before looking over at his shocked looking boyfriend. "If you don't mind, of course."

"No-no, sounds fine. I don't mind at all."

"So why the look?"

"Sorry, just being paranoid. It just feels like... what are people going to say when they find out?"

"I guess we'll find out."

Duo blinked and snatched the box out of reach of his friend. "I'm starting to think that you are a pod-person and the real Wu is trapped on a spaceship."

Wufei laughed around his spoon. "What makes you say that?"

"Well, usually you're the one who thinks too much about what's going to happen and what people are going to think."

"And you are the one that doesn't think at all," Wufei said and grabbed the ice cream out of the braided man’s hands.

Duo stuck his ice cream-covered tongue out at him. "I think. I just don't -over- think everything."

Wufei gave him a skeptical look. "I have two thing to say about that. Bobby. Green."

"He was being mean!"

"You were chatting up his girlfriend!"

"She could do better and he had it coming."

"Had it coming? He was twice your size!"

"Well that's what I had you for, right?"

"Yeah, he was just three times my size. I swear sometimes I think the only reason I started with Karate was because of you."

Duo smiled. "Well it worked didn't it? Green never bothered us again."

"Yeah, I got suspended and you got to date Kate López. That worked out great."

Duo snickered. "Poor thing. Should I bring the ice cream the next time?"

"Yeah, I want coffee flavour."

"You got it."

They sat back in a comfortable silence.

Wufei made a small sound as if he suddenly remembered something. "I talked to Meilan today. I more or less invited us to dinner tonight. I thought that we could tell them then."

Duo dropped his spoon in to his lap. "Tonight?"

Wufei licked his own spoon clean before responding. "Yeah, you got other plans?"

"No, it's just...already?"

"We have no reason not to." Wufei looked up at him. "Do we?"

Duo shook his head. "No, I guess not. It's just... you sister is going to kill me."

Wufei laughed. "She is not going to kill you."

"Well, I'm going to hide behind you. Just so you know."

"Yeah, you do that." Wufei said with a snicker. "Don't worry, it's going to be fine." The Asian held out a spoonful of ice cream to him. Opening his mouth, he let the blueberry flavour and Wufei's reassuring smile calm him.

I'm so happy that I finally managed figure out where I was going with this version of the fiction. The next chapter should not take as long to write, but I would recommend that if you are reading this on adultfanfiction net you should go to gundam-wing-universe dot net since I keep forgeting to update here.


Now, I'm not going to demand reviews (I hate it when authors do that, because fiction should be about wanting to tell a story, not about how many people who tells you that they like it. Not to mention that you are going to have to drag me kicking and screaming out of here before I'll ever stop writing.)but I am going to as you to please give me some inspiration and criticism by reviewing. Please?
