Ch 15 It took some time to clear the air but when all was said and done it turned out that Wufei and Treize had known each other for some time. Their love affair actually dated back to before the beginning of the Eve War when Treize was a young boy who had become infatuated with the talented and promising young Chinese prince. Their paths had crossed many times over the years, strengthening the bond between them until finally they’d become lovers. Soon afterwards their paths had parted forever, it seemed, as Treize believed in his heart the best way to bring about the changes necessary would be from within and began his ambitious climb through the Tribarian ranks. His plan had worked for the most part as he had gained a position of power within the organization and had many loyal followers who were ready, willing and able to pull off a mass revolution that would leave Treize at the head of the greater body of the military forces available to the Tribarian leaders. This was all worthless in the face of the space station Libra, however. Even the Gundam’s stood little chance against firepower of that magnitude. If they were to have a chance against it they were going to have to get it before it got them. ‘You have the plans for this station?’ Wufei asked. Treize had been reluctant to move too far away from him throughout the evening so he handed him a small computer disk as he sat beside him with his arm resting behind his back on the couch. Wufei took the disk and plugged it into the laptop on the table, bringing up the plans for them to look at. ‘Wow,’ Duo exclaimed as the intricate schematics were displayed. ‘Holy Mary, mother of God,’ he gasped, pushing in front of Wufei and plopping down in his lap so he could see better. The Chinese boy blushed and offered his old lover a helpless look of apology as his hands betrayed him and rested comfortably on the braided boy’s hips. Treize was less than amused. ‘Jesus, Hiiro look at this shit,’ Duo breathed, pulling the prince over so he was almost in the Chinese boy’s lap as well. Treize’s eyes narrowed as he noted the way the prince’s hand rested familiarly on the Chinese boy’s knee. ‘This thing’s gonna be a bitch to crack,’ Duo went on, leaning back into Wufei’s chest as Hiiro browsed through the different levels. ‘We’ll find a weakness,’ Hiiro assured him. ‘We’ll need to keep this disk,’ Duo told Treize, who was looking green around the gills at this point but nodded just the same. Duo noticed the fact that he kept staring at Wufei but the raven haired boy didn’t seem to want to return the gaze. ‘You snuggling up with us tonight or sticking around to warm his sheets?’ he asked, leaning his head back on Wufei’s shoulder so he could see him. Wufei glanced at the raised brow on Treize’s face then groaned and rolled his eyes in defeat. ‘It’d be safer if he came back to the house with us,’ Trowa interjected. ‘That’s debatable,’ Quatre said softly to no one in particular, picking up the growing animosity in the ginger haired man. In the end Treize agreed with Trowa and went back to the guest cottage with them. If Duo picked up on the man’s disconcertion he made no attempt to alter his behavior toward the Chinese boy because of it, going so far as to include Hiiro in his flirtations even though the Japanese boy was more inclined toward discretion. He’d sprawled out across Wufei’s lap as they studied the plans for the space station on the lap top resting on Hiiro’s thighs. Quatre made them all a pot of tea and sat with Trowa in the big chair at the end of the coffee table where they could see the screen while Treize was banished to the other chair to sit alone as he watched the five of them interact. Wufei kept throwing him that apologetic glance but he did nothing to deter Duo’s advances, accepting the affection as he always did and even returning it at an acceptable ‘mixed company’ level. He’d just tossed one of those ‘sorry about this’ looks at his old lover when he noticed the tall man’s eyes flick toward the hand he hadn’t realized was resting on Duo’s ass. He respectfully moved it to a less intimate spot on the back of the boy’s knee as he offered a small grin to go along with the apologetic glance that was fast becoming the only thing the two old lovers shared between them. ‘If it bothers you, I’ll move,’ Duo offered off handedly. Hiiro’s eyes glanced nervously at Wufei then Treize as Quatre and Trowa looked up uncomfortably. ‘No,’ Wufei sighed softly, taking a deep breath and sinking down into the couch a little as he let his hand ride back up near the boy’s ass again. ‘Obviously, we’re more than just friends,’ he admitted to his old lover. ‘I’m sorry if that makes you uncomfortable,’ he added as he finally relaxed. Treize considered him for a moment then smiled and relaxed as well. ‘I had hoped,’ he began, ‘when I saw you…But I suppose it’s too late for a lot of things,’ he chuckled wryly. ‘It’s not even eleven o’clock yet,’ Duo countered, looking at the wall clock. Treize furrowed his brow at that comment whereas Wufei simply chose to roll his eyes again and smack him on the ass. ‘Hey!’ the braided boy groused, half turning to glare at him. ‘Is it my fault the man has no concept of occasion!?’ Wufei blushed at the odd look on Treize’s face when they realized the implications of that statement. ‘Oh, come on!’ Duo huffed. ‘Geez, Fei you haven’t seen the man in how long? Take him upstairs and give him a bath or something. Christ! Your mopin’ and pining is makin’ my damn teeth hurt already,’ he groused, climbing off the boy’s lap to curl up next to Hiiro. Treize looked like he’d just popped the piñata open. ‘That would be. .. acceptable to you?’ he asked, eyeing Hiiro who offered him a shy smiled then went back to his studying, obviously not thrilled to be pulled into this conversation. ‘I love’im, I don’t own’im,’ Duo replied, pointing out something of interest on the screen as Wufei’s mantel deepened. Treize smiled softly then stood and offered his hand. Wufei reached out to take it but before he could make contact Duo leaned over and kissed him. Wufei got the point and offered the same to Hiiro before he followed his old lover up the stairs. ‘Think we’ll loose him?’ Duo asked, watching the spot where they’d disappeared. Hiiro could feel the mourning tone in his lover’s voice. It set his own chest to aching slightly at the thought of loosing the intimacy that they shared with their Chinese friend but like Duo had just demonstrated, it was Wufei’s choice. So far the boy had made it pretty clear he had no intentions of breaking away from them. Whether that resolve would remain by morning was yet to be seen. ‘He loves us,’ Hiiro reminded him. ‘No matter what he decides, he’ll always love us.’ Duo sat quietly for a moment staring up the stairs before he finally sighed softly and nodded, turning his attention back to the screen. ** ‘You love them,’ Treize stated as Wufei ran the water in the bath. ‘It’s easy to do,’ the Chinese boy smiled. Treize chuckled. ‘I wouldn’t have thought the Toorima to be the cuddly type,’ he said, reaching out to touch the Chinese boy’s cheek. Wufei shuddered slightly. He’d always been susceptible to the ginger haired man’s touch. Nothing had truly changed between them. ‘He’s … he’s umm...’ ‘What am I?’ Treize asked, stepping closer. He let his hand slip back around Wufei’s neck while the other began to disrobe him. ‘Damn,’ Wufei swallowed hard. ‘Here,’ he answered as Treize’s mouth ghosted over his trembling lips. ‘You’re really here,’ he breathed just before he kissed him. ** ‘It looks like there may be a flaw in the main cannon,’ Hiiro said, pointing at the possible discrepancy on the screen. ‘Mmm,’ Duo hummed distractedly, glancing at the stairs again. Hiiro considered him a moment. ‘Or maybe we could just toss a few hundred cats in it and see if it chokes on a fur ball.’ ‘Could work,’ the braided boy replied. ‘It’s a little quiet up there don’t ya think?’ he added, looking up the stairs again. ‘Duo,’ Hiiro sighed impatiently as Quatre chuckled and fed his lover another pretzel. ‘I mean maybe they decided to just go to sleep, huh?’ ‘No, they’re mmuphlmm,’ Quatre began but Trowa kissed him to silence his revelation. Hiiro closed the laptop. They obviously weren’t going to get anymore work done. He placed it on the table and pulled Duo into his lap so he could kiss him as he slid down until he was laying flat with his head on the arm rest and Duo sprawled out on top of him. ‘They could be talking,’ the braided boy mumbled between kisses. Hiiro sighed deeply and scratched his overworked head in frustration. ‘Why are you so worried about what their doing?’ he asked. ‘You’re the one that insisted they go.’ ‘Cause, Fei wanted to,’ Duo mopped, resting his chin on the prince’s firm chest. ‘You saw the look in his eyes. He looked like you do when you look at…me,’ he grumbled as the moping turned into downright sulking. ‘Why did he have to show up anyway?’ the braided boy whined. ‘Libra,’ Trowa reminded him. ‘Oh…yeah,’ Duo replied. ‘Stupid space station,’ he grumped, going back into mope mode. Hiiro chuckled and kissed his forehead. ‘Don’t worry so much. You’re obsessing over something you can’t control.’ Duo sighed heavily. ‘Yeah, I know. You’re right. I don’t know why I’m so bugged about it really.’ ‘I’ll miss him too,’ Hiiro confessed. They fell silent as the prince closed his eyes and sank into the comfort Duo’s familiar weight afforded him. He was just about to drift off when the boy suddenly said softly, ‘You think he’s the possessive type?’ ‘Duo!’ they all three admonished at once. Treize smiled as he awoke to the familiar scent of his first love. It was different now but still the same. The heat of the boy’s body beside him made him feel warm and young again. Like he had the first time he’d woken up with the elegant Chinese boy so long ago. Had it truly only been two years? He sighed softly and moved closer, his hand reaching out to touch his lover in the morning glow as he opened his eyes to find... Duo?’ ‘AHHGG!’ he barked, jumping back as the image of the braided boy sitting on top of Wufei beside him in the bed as he kissed him deeply and pinned his hands to bed beside him assaulted his senses. His heart slowed down a beat or two when he realized the braided boy was dressed for the most part and still on top of the sheets. Wufei on the other hand, he knew to be buck naked under the thin sheet since that’s how he’d left him the night before. ‘What are you doing?’ the man gasped, making sure his own nakedness was covered as he stared at them wide eyed. Duo took his time as he slowed the kiss and Wufei did nothing to deter him, accepting as much of the tantalizing affection as the boy wished to pour into him before he finally pulled apart. ‘Just saying good morning,’ Duo grinned, sitting back to smile down at the flushed Chinese boy. The sinful temptation proved to be too much for the raven haired boy. Treize’s eyes widened slightly as Wufei’s hands gripped Duo’s hips as he lifted his own. ‘Are you suggesting we... that I... I mean…’ Treize was having trouble forming a whole sentence with Wufei pushing into the groaning, longhaired boy like that. ‘Sorry, Kushy,’ Duo sighed. ‘You’re a babe but I got nothing for ya, myself,’ he told him, bending down for another kiss. ‘Have you no shame?’ the man asked completely exasperated. ‘What’s there to be ashamed of?’ Wufei asked, running his hands down his back and under the waist band of his pj’s to cup his ass. ‘Treize, come on,’ he said softly, turning to face the man as Duo began to nibble on his neck. ‘Could you turn me down if I did this to you?’ he asked. ‘Shit, forget the fact that I love him for a minute and just fucking look at him!’ Treize started to spit something in return but it deflated and whizzed out the window before he could speak it. He watched Duo kissing Wufei for a moment before he smiled and sighed, sitting up and reaching for his pants. ‘You’ve certainly grown,’ he said fondly shaking his head. ‘Damn well formed, too,’ Duo added, moving to kiss his chest. Treize chuckled again but it was a sad sound as he slipped his shirt on and got up. ‘Treize?’ Wufei said softly. The man paused and looked back at him. ‘I’m sorry. I have no desire to hurt you,’ he offered even as the sweat began to form on his chest. The man smiled again. ‘You haven’t,’ he told him. ‘It would appear you have once again surpassed me, though. I still have some growing up to do,’ he confessed as he walked toward the door. ‘Duo?’ Hiiro called as he walked in the half opened door, meeting Treize as he was walking out. He paused and glanced at the couple in the bed as Duo kissed Wufei deeply, drawing him into the fog then back at Treize to assess his reaction. He saw the conflict in the man’s eyes but Treize managed to smile for him just the same so he let it go and stepped out of the way. The ginger haired man stopped to look back at him for a moment after he’d crossed the threshold. Hiiro offered him a half smile then looked back at the bed where Wufei was rolling over on top of Duo before he turned back and shrugged his shoulders with a half guilty/half hungry look in his eyes. He shut the door, leaving the tall man alone in the hallway as he shook his head and chuckled at his own ignorance. He did a quick backstep when he heard Relena’s voice in the living room, just barely avoiding being seen by the girl as she spoke to Quatre. ‘…tell Hiiro I’m here please?’ she was saying. ‘Of course, your Highness,’ the blond boy replied amiably as he furrowed his brow at the man in the hallway behind the girl who was frantically waving his hands and mouthing NO over and over again as he pointed at the ceiling. The blond boy reached out with his heart then blushed as he caught wind of what was happening upstairs. ‘Actually,’ he amended, taking the girl by the arm and leading her toward the front door. ‘I believe I heard him say he was going to take a shower. Perhaps I could have him meet with you at the main house when he’s finished?’ ‘I was hoping he could join me for tea,’ she said. ‘I’ll just wait for him if you don’t mind.’ ‘Ohhh, no,’ Quatre replied. ‘Umm, he takes notoriously long showers, really. I’m sure your time would be better spent if he met you at the main house.’ ‘Well, I’ll just go up and tell him I’m here then,’ she offered. ‘NO!’ Quatre barked as Treize bounded back up the stairs. She turned and looked at him as if he’d lost his mind. ‘Sorry,’ he apologized. ‘It’s just… ummm Trowa… he has a bad habit of walking around in his underwear. I’ll just run up and tell him for you. Won’t you sit down?’ Treize made it back to the room and opened the door without really thinking about what he might find on the other side. The scene about knocked him back out the door but he managed to shut it and just turn his back. ‘Shit!’ Duo barked. ‘What in the hell to you want? Fuck no! Don’t you dare stop,’ he added to one of them. Or perhaps... both? ‘Relena,’ Treize tried to explain. ‘She’s here to collect Hiiro for morning tea.’ ‘Tell her to ... shit... fu…fuck off ... mmm, damn! F... Fei! Oh gods, yes!’ Treize turned his head curiously and was instantly sorry he had. He had no idea a body could bend like that. ‘We tried, she’s on her way up,’ he informed them. ‘Shit,’ Duo sighed. ‘Wait,’ Hiiro groaned. ‘Damn it,’ Wufei complained. ‘Hiiro?’ Quatre called from outside the door. ‘Wait... Duo please ... don’t,’ Hiiro pleaded as Treize cracked the door open. Upon seeing it was Quatre he opened it enough to pull the boy inside. ‘Hiiro, Relena’s… down... I guess you already know,’ the blond boy smiled. Treize eyed the young blond as if he’d grown a second head. ‘We can’t afford to loose her support right now,’ Duo reasoned with his frustrated lover. ‘Damn it!’ Hiiro groaned. ‘I’m not exactly whistling a tune about it,’ the braided boy retorted but it was a little less than convincing as he moaned Wufei’s name again. ‘I feel your pain,’ Hiiro groused extracting himself and grabbing his cloak and broach. Treize chanced another look back at the bed, confirming Duo and Wufei had made the adjustment to their missing partner smoothly enough. Hiiro ran a hand through his hair and headed for the door, stopping briefly to kiss Quatre then and tell him, ‘Keep ‘em warm for me,’ before he nodded to Treize and walked out the door. The tall man’s jaw dropped another two inches as the blond boy’s brows rose happily and he headed for the bed. Treize slipped silently out into the hall, closing the door behind him as he tried to recapture his sanity. He shook his head and tried to analyze the things he’d seen and experienced since he’d rediscovered his old lover. He shook his head again and chuckled as he realized he still had a lot to learn.
