"Same Street"

Ch 2


The phone number proved to be all but useless however, as it was connected to a phone that never got answered. There was no message system and it was a working number, it was just that no one ever picked it up. Hiiro was feeling a little perturbed about it two days later and Trowa was positively beside himself. Whatever the blond boy had offered him in that backseat had him totally addicted and he was starting to have some very annoying withdrawals.

‘What in the hell is his problem?’ Wufei asked quietly watching the knife in Trowa’s nimble fingers dance.

‘Sexual tension,’ Hiiro told him flat out. If it had been anyone else they probably would have flinched when the blade suddenly lodged itself in the wall by his head but all Hiiro did was pull it loose, close it and lay in on the table while glaring at the taller boy silently.

‘He’s got a boner for someone, huh?’ Wufei chuckled. ‘Well, who is it?’ he asked scanning the lunch room. ‘Maybe I can set you up.’

‘No dice,’ Hiiro replied. ‘Unless you know where to find that little blond that was running with Duo.’

‘Duo?’

‘The boy I knocked off his board the other day.’

‘Ooooohhhh,’ the Chinese boy exclaimed. ‘The blond?’ he asked wanting to clarify. The expression in Trowa’s eyes left little room for doubt. ‘Hm,’ Wufei mused. ‘I heard his names Quat or something like that.’

‘I know that,’ Trowa ground out. ‘I know his name and his height and what he tastes like,’ he went on getting louder by the moment. ‘What I don’t know is why he doesn’t answer his god damn phone!’ he shouted pinning his food tray to the table with the knife Hiiro had laid there before.

‘You… umm… have his phone number?’ Wufei asked moving to remove the knife before the curious onlookers got them expelled.

‘For all the damn good it is,’ Trowa spat.

‘Calm down, geez,’ Wufei laughed lightly. ‘Shit, you’ve got it bad’ The emerald glare he received both frightened and amused him. ‘Don’t let it get to ya,’ the Chinese boy advised. ‘He probably hasn’t answered because they’ve been spending so much time on the north side.’

‘What?’ Trowa barked sitting up suddenly.

‘I heard their shaking things up over there now,’ Wufei told them. ‘Guy’s say that longhaired guy’s the new number one. He damn sure outclassed anything around here. ‘Cept maybe you two. Maybe their just staying with frien…ds…?’

It took half a second for Hiiro to fall into step behind the taller boy as he bolted for the exit leaving Wufei laughing out loud.

It was late afternoon when they arrived at the north side park. This was a real park built by the residents of the community which were more upper middle class. Even the trash got picked up on time in this part of town meaning it looked a lot like June Cleaver might step around the corner any minute. Dogs from the east side weren’t openly welcomed here but it had more to do with fear of being mugged than anything else. Hiiro and Trowa really didn’t care about the odd looks they received as they entered the park and Trowa wasted no time hitting the course when he spotted Quatre. Duo was much closer, it only took one run down the ramp and back up again to put Hiiro next to him.

‘Where in the hell did you come from?’ Duo grinned. The smile softened the words in a way that made Hiiro really want to find a dark spot somewhere.

‘You didn’t answer your phone,’ the Japanese boy replied.

‘That’s ‘cause brilliance over there,’ he stopped watching as Trowa caught up to the blond boy landing deftly beside him on the wall. ‘Gave you,’ he went on absently staring openly at them as the green eyed boy snatched him into a tight embrace and kissed him hard. ‘The office .…number,’ he said softly watching as the taller boy carried his partner away still kissing him blind. ‘Shit, he’s going to get us in so much trouble,’ he sighed.

‘Do you live around here?’ Hiiro asked wanting to know the answer to some of the questions that usually got lost in this boy’s kiss.

‘Not really,’ Duo replied. ‘We’re just hanging around for awhile.’

‘Where are you from?’

‘Around.’

‘Will you be `around` long?’ Hiiro asked sarcastically emphasizing the fact that he was being very evasive.

‘If I feel like it,’ Duo sighed sounding a bit annoyed. ‘What’s with the twenty questions anyway?’ he asked turning the tables on him.

‘Well,’ Hiiro chuckled blushing softly. ‘I was kinda working up to asking you out but your not makin it easy.’

‘A date?’ Duo snorted. ‘Isn’t that a little bizarre? Two guys going on a date?’

‘I don’t care what it is,’ Hiiro replied. ‘I just wanna spend some time with you.’

‘You really are into guys aren’t you?’ Duo asked a little bewildered by the idea.

‘No,’ Hiiro told him smiling gently. ‘But I’m apparently into you.’

Duo replied only with an uncertain smile before turning his attention to the performance of a young, shaggy headed blond boy that was turning some pretty sweet tricks on the course.

‘You’ve got some good moves,’ he told his companion. ‘Ever compete?’

‘No.’

‘Beat me to the gate and I’ll go out with you,’ Duo told him bringing a huge grin to his face just before he suddenly disappeared down the wall. Duo knew the moment he saw the speed and precision of the Japanese boy’s flight there was no way he was going to win but then, he hadn’t really wanted to anyway. Much to Hiiro’s delight the date started the moment he caught up with him as he dragged him out the gate behind him.

They spent the first couple of hours discovering they actually had a lot in common. Duo was the single most knowledgeable person Hiiro had ever met when it came to the skateboarding world. Lots of kids liked to skate but he’d never met anyone as into as he was before. He’d harbored dreams of becoming a pro before his goals changed to just getting through high school without ending up in prison. So far he was doing pretty well. His new foster parents didn’t seem to care what he did as long as they got their monthly check leaving him the freedom to do as he saw fit. Like dating a beautiful skater boy.

They ended up in a little burger join that was a favorite with the local teens from Hiiro’s side of the tracks. It looked like Duo had been there a few times since some of the people knew him already. Hiiro insisted on buying him dinner since the date had been his idea. They were still sitting in the booth near the back drinking their third soda when Quatre and Trowa showed up. Duo laughed. Quatre looked like he could charge a battery with a single touch.

‘You wanna keep it under control there, green eyes?’ Duo advised glancing at the way Trowa’s hand was resting own the blond boy’s hip but the comment only caused the tall boy to slip it fully around his waist and pull him close. ‘Geez, Quat... a little discretion huh?’ he sighed looking out the window for something.

‘Alright already,’ the blond boy sighed rolling his eyes as he pulled his new lover down into the booth with him. ‘You worry too much,’ he admonished his friend still smiling brightly as Trowa slide up close beside him.

‘It’s not just your ass in the ringer you know,’ Duo retorted.

‘Well,’ the blond boy grinned happily glancing at his attentive lover. ‘Maybe people should just get used to it.’

‘Fuck... you can’t be serious!’ Duo all but gasped setting Hiiro a little more off balance. What was his problem? ‘Your Dad’s gonna have kittens if you bring him home!’ Oh… that.

‘Then I’ll stay here.’

‘Quatre!’

‘Duo,’ the blond boy smiled almost laughing as he leaned in a little to emphasize his point ‘It is sooooo too late for this,’ he told him holding Trowa’s arm affectionately as he too smiled at them.

‘Shit,’ Duo exclaimed sitting back in a huff.

‘It’s not like I’m the only one,’ Quatre defended himself. ‘Look at you!’

‘No ones going to care if I date a guy!’ Duo countered.

‘What in the hell’s going on?’ Hiiro wanted to know. Something wasn’t right here.

‘He’s... he just... he can’t... I mean... not just like that!’ Duo told him confusing him even more.

‘Why is it alright for you and not me?’ Quatre demanded righteously.

‘’Cause I’m not the freaking Winner heir!’ Duo ground out in frustration.

‘What?’ Hiiro gasped looking at the blond more closely. He knew the name and now that he really took a good look he’d seen that face in the newspapers often enough to know it was true. But what in the hell was he doing down there getting chased by hoodlums and nailed by Trowa?

‘Shout it a little louder!’ Quatre growled in response to the outburst. ‘I’m sick of this! You can have him but I can’t see Trowa? I won’t give him up! I don’t think I could even if I wanted to,’ he told him feeling the taller boy’s steady presence by his side.

‘I know,’ Duo sighed apologetically. ‘I just... gods, Quat, this is getting complicated.’

‘Why don’t you clue us in and maybe we can help?’ Hiiro suggested.

‘Damn it,’ Duo exclaimed relaxing back against the cushion. ‘Fine... you know who his family is. Did you know he’s also the captain of a pro ranked skateboarding team known as Meteor Fall?’

‘I know the team,’ Hiiro replied looking the boy over again. ‘But I thought the captain was a named Sandrock ...or... I see,’ he said putting it all together. ‘The goggles are a good disguise,’ he praised recalling that the captain always wore a pair when in public.

‘We’ve been scouting for new members,’ Duo went on. ‘We’d actually intended to ask you two to hook up before all this weird shit started going down,’ he confessed.

‘Trowa’s already agreed,’ Quatre beamed.

‘Is that why?’ Hiiro asked, the lack of emotion in his tone catching Duo’s concern.

‘Why what?’ he asked.

‘Is that why you went out with me?’

‘How far do you think you could actually go with this?’ Duo asked in return. His breath caught in his throat when Hiiro leaned in close to his ear and whispered.

‘Take me home and I’ll show you.’

‘Quat?’ Duo swallowed.

‘He’s coming home with me,’ Trowa smiled kissing the back of his lovers pale hand.

‘So,’ Duo choked still flustered by the fact that Hiiro’s lips were almost touching his neck. ‘You want to be a pro skater?’

‘Later,’ Hiiro replied pushing him out of the booth.

By the next morning there was no place between them that had been left unexplored. They had a lot of fun discovering all the subtle nuances of becoming intimate with each other. It was a bit like a treasure hung since neither of them had ever been with another guy before. Hiiro made a note to be sure and thank Quatre and Trowa for leaving a drawer full of necessities for them to experiment with. It had made things go a lot smoother once they found them. Considering what he’d ended up doing to Duo he was very glad lube came in a pint bottle.

They met their friends at the park the next day. They looked almost as giddy as Hiiro felt standing there with his arm resting easily around Duo’s waist.

‘Mornin,’ Quatre beamed brightly as Trowa slipped up behind him and snuggled up to his back.

‘Will we be going back to your town?’ Hiiro asked.

‘Not yet’ Duo replied. ‘We still need one more teammate to be able to enter the grand championships.’

‘Trowa’s already recommended someone,’ Quatre smiled turning his attention to the park as a lone figure sailed five foot into the air doing a triple spin with a full arch before gracefully landing and taking the ramp that landed him five feet from the group of boys.

‘Morning,’ Wufei smiled.

‘I think that’ll just about do it,’ Duo grinned leaning back into his lover.

‘Damn,’ the Chinese boy smirked looking Duo up and down. ‘No wonder you jumped the fence,’ he grinned.

‘Don’t get your panties in a bunch,’ Duo told him tipping his board toward the drop. ‘Nothing begins until the meteor falls,’ he smiled leading his team down the first ramp to their future.
