‘I think he only owns the one club,’ Duo corrected. ‘The bulk of capital is inheritance. His family owns a large piece of the middle east not to mention most of the resource satellites.’ ‘He’s a Winner?’ Hiiro asked uncertain as to why he’d never asked the boy’s last name before. ‘Yeah... you know ‘em?’ Duo inquired trying to unlock the door and not spill the pizza’s at the same time. ‘Only by name,’ the Japanese boy confessed. He couldn’t imagine anyone not knowing the Winner name. He hadn’t known about Quatre, however. Apparently the family didn’t feel it wise to advertise their homosexual, strip club owning son. Go figure. ‘Well,’ Duo went on conquering the door so they could enter. ‘Quat’s the only male heir but just between you and me, I don’t think he’s really too thrilled about it. Just put ‘em down over there,’ he instructed indicating a table for the pizza’s. ‘Shit,’ he breathed dropping the four boxes he was carrying on the same table. ‘Next time, I bribe the delivery boy I don’t care how far out of his way it is.’ ‘He seems very happy here with Trowa,’ Hiiro observed looking around the huge house. ‘There’s the understatement of the year,’ Duo snorted taking out his cell phone. Hiiro looked around some more while he called Quatre to find out how things were going. From the one side of the conversation it sounded like they were wrapping it up and wouldn’t be long. He was examining the signature on a Rembrandt hanging in the main hall trying to decide if it was authentic or not when he heard the cell phone snap shut and Duo’s cheerful voice calling. ‘Hey… you wanna take a dip? They’re gonna be another half hour or so,’ the braided boy asked joining him at the painting. ‘You like this one?’ he asked curiously. It was a depiction of a lazy summer road with jasmine vines in full bloom and a small forgotten cottage on the left side of the lane. ‘Mm,’ Hiiro confirmed sighing softly as he imagined the cottage repaired and Duo sitting on the front porch in a swing. The sunlight in the scene would have been reflecting in his hair as the breeze played across his face... ‘Hiiro?’ ‘Hm?’ the Japanese boy smiled turning to see his vision standing beside him. ‘Come on,’ Duo chuckled pulling him aside by the arm ‘I think you could use a cold splash in the face,’ he said leading the grinning boy away. ‘You sure you’re ok?’ he asked moving on down the hall while Hiiro nodded his head obediently. By the time Duo had supplied him with a suit and they managed to actually get in the pool the others were already showing up. The first to find them being Wufei who stripped off his clothes without a second thought leaving him butt ass naked as he dove into the pool while Hiiro sat still in the water gaping at what he’d just seen. He didn’t have time to recoop from the odd behavior before the insanity spread and both Teah and Pally followed suit. ‘Hey! Guys! Come on!’ Duo objected to no avail guarding his face from the duel splash. ‘Damn it, we’ve got a guest here! Put some damn clothes on!’ he groused throwing a squash ball at Wufei’s grinning face. ‘What’s the problem?’ Teah laughed. ‘He’s already seen us all naked.’ ‘Yeah’ Pally agreed. ‘Its not like he’s a virgin,’ she laughed not quiet catching the blush on Hiiro’s cheeks at the comment. ‘Don’t tell me,’ Wufei grinned sliding up beside Duo who squeaked and made his escape a little to slowly to save face. ‘What the hell’r you doin’ in Bermuda shorts?’ the Chinese boy laughed back stroking into the deep end of the pool. ‘You own a swim suit?’ Teah asked bewilderedly deepening the mantel that had appeared on Duo’s face. ‘He’s blushing!’ Pally cried swimming over to try and drown the rosy tent off his cheeks. ‘Honestly, Duo,’ Quatre sighed from the pool side slipping out of his shorts right along side of Trowa. Hiiro was feeling very odd right about then since his eyes were sending his body into sensory overload. He’d never seen so many well formed tight young bodies naked all at once. It was a bit much to deal with and he was really glad for the bulky shorts he was wearing himself. Trowa on the other hand didn’t seem to care in the least that the sight of his little blond lover was obviously arousing him as he slipped into the water and raised his hands to help the blond boy down. ‘Where’s the bottle?’ Teah asked moving across the pool to take the bottle of rum from Madelyn, the only other clothed member of the group, as she sat on the edge and dangled her legs in the water. Hiiro had gotten the feeling there was something going on between the three girls through out the day. The fact that the bottle was received with a kiss from the stronger looking Madelyn before she’d let it go confirmed his theory. Pally was apparently feeling left out and almost drown Teah claiming a kiss from the short, dark haired girl sitting on the side of the pool for herself. It was odd how easily Hiiro accepted the strange relationship but he’d learned a lot about himself over the past few weeks. This was just another rung in the latter. Live and let live. They seemed quiet happy with their arrangement so who was he to worry? Once free of Pally’s attempted drowning Duo drifted over to where Hiiro sat huddled in a corner. ‘You ok with this?’ he asked softly enough that the others didn’t hear. ‘Hm?’ Hiiro replied having to think about the question for a moment. ‘We can get out if you want,’ Duo offered sounding genuinely sorry for the incident. ‘It’s ok,’ Hiiro assured him. ‘A little unorthodox maybe,’ he added smiling for him. ‘I really like your friends,’ he added honestly watching as Trowa cornered Quatre and stole a kiss. ‘They’re your friends now,’ Duo told him kicking back to float on his back. Hiiro’s eyes traveled the boy’s slim body as it drifted just under the shimmering surface of the water. He still just couldn’t believe how gorgeous this boy was. Just looking at him made his heart swell to bursting every time. ‘You don’t have to wear those,’ he said before he’d really had time to think it over. He realized his mistake the moment the words had left his mouth. ‘I mean... I didn’t mean... shit,’ he sighed in defeat as Duo grinned knowingly. ‘I just meant you shouldn’t behave differently just because I’m here,’ he tried to clarify knowing full well it wasn’t the whole reason. ‘I didn’t want to be impolite,’ Duo replied sinking into the water until only his nose and eyes showed. Even so Hiiro could see the impish light in his eyes. ‘I know,’ he said a bit nervously ‘I appreciate it but... I’d rather see who you really are,’ he told him meaning every word. ‘Then you have to join me,’ Duo grinned wriggling out of his shorts. Hiiro’s blood pressure hit the roof the moment he saw the wet material floating in the water meaning Duo was now just as naked as the rest of the group. It only hit him as an after thought what the boy had just said. ‘Wh...what?’ he stammered backing away as Duo advanced on him like a shark in a tide pool. ‘You’re the only one here with clothes on,’ the braided boy gleamed backing him against the corner. ‘Yes, but,’ Hiiro tried to no avail. ‘You’re making me uncomfortable,’ Duo argued slipping up close. Hiiro gasped and clutched his shorts as they started to slip off his hips where the long hared boy was tugging on them. ‘Damn it,’ Hiiro hissed lowering his tone ‘If you do that everyone in this pool is gonna see just how much I want you,’ he warned his tormentor but got little sympathy in return as he tugged harder leaning in to suddenly nip as his left nipple sharply. Hiiro gasped releasing his shorts in order to defend his abused chest loosing the battle for the shorts in the process. The struggle left him soaked as he’d gotten dunked during the fight. When he came up the entire pool was cheering as Duo held up the trophy for all to see making Hiiro kind of want to sink back under the water and drown himself but he settled for the security of his small corner of the pool while Duo discarded both pairs of shorts and returned to his side still giggling. ‘Don’t sweat it,’ he told him. ‘There isn’t a soldier in the ranks that isn’t standing at attention right now,’ he grinned demonstrating his meaning by taking Hiiro’s hand and placing over his own swollen groin. ‘Shit,’ Hiiro breathed closing his hand as the heat spread through his body once again. ‘That wasn’t really an invitation,’ Duo sighed but he did nothing to deter the Japanese boy from continuing. The sudden bliss on his face urged Hiiro on as he explored the one part of Duo’s body he’d desperately wanted to test and tease since he’d first laid eyes on him. It was such a thrill to see the kind of joy he could bring to the boy’s angelic face with just a touch of his hand, a tightening of the fingers here made him sigh, the caress of his thumb there coaxed a soft moan of pleasure from his long throat. He was so enraptured just watching him he never saw the squash ball coming until it slammed into the side of Duo’s head. ‘Fei!’ the braided boy growled diving into the water in pursuit of the antagonistic Chinese boy leaving Hiiro feeing frustrated and annoyed but also grateful. He had no idea what he might have done if he’d been allowed to continue and he really didn’t fancy having sex in a pool full of people he hardly knew. A quick glance at the other end of the pool told him Trowa and Quatre held no such reservation as the taller boy had his smaller lover pinned to the ladder clearly rocking his world. The scene shocked him so much he didn’t notice Pally until she spoke beside him snapping him out of the daze he’d been in as he watched the passion between the two boy’s unfold. ‘Don’t mind them,’ the girl sighed. ‘They’re always like that. You’ll get used to it.’ Hiiro just nodded trying not to stare anymore while wondering when he’d stepped into the twilight zone. ‘So, do you just do guys or what?’ the girl asked casually taking a drink from the rum bottle. ‘I…’ Hiiro had no clue how to answer her. ‘Get lost leach!’ Duo growled splashing her to chase her away as he reclaimed his spot next to him. ‘Geez!’ the girl groused. ‘Selfish brat!’ she snapped sulkily swimming away. ‘Watch those three,’ he warned his companion. ‘It’s all a bit much huh?’ Duo mused sounding a little sad. ‘Why do you do it?’ Hiiro asked the question for the second time. ‘It makes me feel alive,’ Duo answered truthfully this time. ‘Don’t you ever get bored with all the ordinary things in life?’ he asked hitting a very large nail in Hiiro’s mind right on the head. He’d been incessantly bored since he was five years old. It wasn’t something he’d ever questioned before. It was just the way life was but having met Duo and his lot he knew how wrong he’d been. Duo was at least as smart as he was but he’d found a way to live his life that made him happy. A great deal of the discomfort he’d been feeling since the shedding of the clothes dissipated the moment he realized he’d woken from a long sleep the night he’d stepped into that club and he had Akima of all people to thank for it. He did feel alive. Very alive. He was frightened and elated, exited and exhausted and he couldn’t remember a time in his life when he’d been so aware of his heart beat before. Something that once again elevated as Quatre’s voice rose desperately into the evening air. Most of the company had completely ignored the couple during their union but as the two boys reached their peak every head in the place turned to watch silently. Hiiro’s groin tightened painfully just looking at them. Quatre’s knuckles were pure white where he was gripping the side rail of the ladder, his head dropped back on the first step as Trowa slammed into him holding both of his legs in the crick of his elbows as he clung to the lower rungs of the ladder, each of them tense and straining to withstand the rapture running through their bodies as they reached the peak of their culmination. ‘Sorry,’ Duo whispered softly as Quatre’s raspy scream cut through the air. ‘Why?’ Hiiro asked leaning a little closer but unable to tear his eyes away from the couple as they clung to each other in the free fall back to earth. ‘They’re so beautiful,’ he confessed honestly amazed by the wonderful feelings the sight had brought out in him. ‘You really think so?’ Duo asked sounding a little amazed himself. ‘Is that bad?’ Hiiro wondered hoping he hadn’t offended him. ‘No, of course not,’ Duo assured him. ‘Its just... even I think they’re weird. Guess I didn’t expect you to be so accepting,’ he admitted. ‘Neither did I,’ Hiiro chuckled. ‘Is it... always like this?’ he asked curious as to just how deep he was in this rabbit hole. ‘Oh, they’re the only exhibitionist’ Duo informed him. ‘Though the three musk-rat-ear’s over there come in a close second,’ he chided loud enough for the girls to hear earning him a stuck out tongue and a squash ball tossed at his head. ‘What about you?’ Hiiro ventured uncertainly. ‘He’s the team mascot,’ Wufei interjected offering the bottle of rum to Duo who took it rolling his eyes in irritation at the constant interruptions. ‘Anybody touches him I get to break their legs,’ he grinned. Even Hiiro felt the cold wave come off Duo as his eyes leveled on the Chinese boy. Hiiro silently hoped he never had to look into the amethyst fire that was spitting in his eyes as he turned the bottle up again suddenly grabbing Hiiro by the back of the head and pouring the huge gulp of hot rum from his mouth down Hiiro’s throat as he flailed in the water completely at the braided boys mercy. The transference soon changed into a deep kiss that robbed him of his ability to flail leaving him as limp as a wet noodle in a very large bowl of broth. Duo suddenly released him flashing a crackling glance at Wufei who stood in wide eyed shock and watched as the beauteous boy pulled his naked body from the pool and strode off into the house. ‘Ouch,’ Trowa’s even tone broke the eerie silence left in the long hared boy’s wake as he appeared at Wufei’s shoulder. Hiiro’s confusion only doubled when the tall boy’s arms slipped around his waist and he bent to kiss the nap of his neck soothingly. ‘What in the hell was that?’ Wufei spoke to no one in particular looking Hiiro over as if he were an alien or something. ‘That would be rebellion,’ Quatre supplied swimming around to cling to the front of the Chinese boy as Trowa guided him neck deep in the water. Hiiro actually had to shake his head to get it around that one. What in the world was with these people? ‘Against me?’ Wufei gasped looking as confused and heartbroken as a sparrow in the snow. ‘Why would he...’ he words ran out quickly as he gazed again at Hiiro, a sudden light coming on in the back of his eyes the Japanese boy didn’t really understand. ‘Son of a bitch,’ he added to the look of comprehension on his face as Trowa and Quatre guided him into deeper water. ‘It’s ok,’ Trowa soothed pulling him along while Quatre clung to his neck. ‘Maybe it’s time,’ the blond boy added snuggling up tighter as he laid a tender kiss on the corner of the raven hared boys mouth. ‘Time for what?!’ Hiiro suddenly burst nervously. ‘Pizza,’ Madelyn interjected. ‘Get off,’ she ordered Pally who had taken up residence on her lap. Well, their first date hadn’t turned out anything like Hiiro had imagined it. It had been the single most freaky experience of his life to be honest and it wasn’t over yet. Eating pizza with this group meant playing spin the bottle with the empty rum bottle while they ate only in this game you had to put on an article of clothes each time it pointed to you. Duo’s mood had improved greatly by the time Teah slipped her shirt on huffing indignantly since she was out because she was fully dressed. Madelyn had recovered her panties and shirt whereas Pally was only a pair of socks away from being out as well. Duo had his cut offs back and Hiiro had recovered his boxers early on which meant he could put the throw pillow back on the couch. Wufei had recovered his pants leaving both Trowa and Quatre still butt naked from head to toe since every time the bottle started to stop on one of them Trowa kicked the table. Pally lost the next round finishing her off so she consoled herself by crawling into Madelyn’s lap while Hiiro took his turn at the bottle. It started to stop on Quatre but another of Trowa’s well timed accidents pushed it on to pause in Duo’s direction. Since his shirt was the last of his attire he was out leaving only Hiiro, Madelyn, the bare skinned couple piled up on the pillows in front of he couch and Wufei. ‘Lets raise the stakes,’ Madelyn suggested gaining the full attention of both the girl in her lap who had been nibbling on her neck and the one laying casually behind her as Teah sat up leaning against her back, her brown eyes bright with anticipation. ‘Who ever it lands on keeps us company tonight,’ the boyish girl grinned making her two companions giggle feverishly and nod in agreement. ‘No way in hell,’ Trowa scoffed. ‘Oh, you’re not really playing anyway’ Pally waved a hand at him. ‘Works for me,’ the tall boy said rolling over to block what he was doing to his little blond lover from view with his body as Quatre suddenly lost all interest in anything but the back of his eyelids. ‘Here we go,’ Madelyn said spinning the bottle. ‘Wait a minute!’ Hiiro gasped watching the gleaming green bottle twirl. His mind spun right along with it, his heart sinking as fear gripped his stomach and tried to turn it inside out when the bottle slowed and came to a stop pointing directly at him. He looked up desperately to find the three girls glaring at him hungrily. Pally even licked her lips before Duo cut in bringing some shred of sanity back to the situation. ‘It’s just a joke,’ he chuckled gently as the three girls broke out laughing and Hiiro sucked in some much needed air. ‘Come on, lets find you a room for the night,’ the long hared boy sighed standing up. He managed to bump the table along the way jarring the bottle’s position so that it was now pointed at Wufei. ‘Looks like I win,’ the Chinese boy grinned standing also before he snatched Teah by the hand and slung her over his shoulder to carry her off toward the stairs with the giddy Pally bounding along behind. Madelyn also got up to follow but at a much more dignified walk. Hiiro paused at the door of the room Duo had chosen for him to watch the odd foursome tumble into another room down the hall leaving him for the first time with a sinking feeling in his gut. ‘There’re PJ’s in the dresser if you want,’ Duo told him pulling a fresh towel and wash cloth out of the small cabinet in the half bath attached to his room. ‘Cathy uses this room when she visits so things should be pretty fresh.’ ‘Duo?’ Hiiro asked feeling a little ill when the giggling from down the hall drifted through the walls. ‘Hm?’ ‘Why am I here?’ Duo stopped to consider him a moment before he answered. ‘Because you asked,’ he reminded him shortly. Hiiro had to smile at his straight forwardness. Indeed he had asked to be allowed a look inside Duo’s world but so far he couldn’t make heads or tails of anything at all. ‘Kind’a feels like my heads swimming up stream,’ he sighed running his hands through his messy hair. ‘You can turn around any time you want,’ Duo said so evenly Hiiro knew beyond the shadow of a doubt whatever he was truly feeling as he said it was carefully hidden behind the porcelain mask he wore. Somewhere behind that polished surface was the fiery eyes of the boy he’d fallen so completely in love with and it hurt in some way to be shut out like that. ‘No,’ he replied honestly laying back on the bed feeling more tired than he had in a long time. ‘I can’t.’ ‘Don’t worry,’ Duo smiled chasing the
heaviness from the room. ‘No ones gonna eat you in your sleep,’
he assured him heading for the door. ‘But… ya know... ya
might wanna lock the door,’ he grinned. ‘Just in case,’
he added making Hiiro chuckle from deep down in his stomach before
he left.
