Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Duo's Boredom ❯ The Set-up ( Chapter 1 )

They all cringed inwardly when they heard it. Everyone thinking to himself, now just how in the hell would they get out of this one?!? Duo sighed again, a little louder than the first time. Each pilot started to try to get more involved in whatever activity they were doing at the moment. In the dining room next to the living room Heero and Quatre sat at the table.

 

Uncharacteristically Heero leaned in closer to the screen as he was busily typing away at his laptop trying to figure out a new way to infiltrate the OZ headquarters. Quatre was sitting at the table, calmly sipping his tea until he nearly choked on his sip when he heard Duo. Trowa was in one of the chairs reading up on the latest gymnastics so that he could learn some more cool new flips and tumbles, upon hearing Duo he pulled the book closer to his face, trying to look intently on a particularly hard flip and tumble combination. And WuFei was in another chair reading some book about justice, frowning heavily and muttering about the injustice in some of the examples given in the book. Upon hearing Maxwell's sigh he muttered to himself about the injustice of this situation. The object of the pilots' misery was now sprawled out on the couch. They all knew when Duo got bored; they were all in for big trouble.

 

"Let's play a game!" Duo chimes in from his sprawled out position on the couch. Everyone in the room is dead silent as the request floats in the air.

 

"Guys?!? C'mon! Let's play a game!" He all but demands again as he sits up and bounces lightly on the couch. All the pilots share the same look of fear as they inwardly try to come up with a reason not to play one of Duo's silly games. They each can remember a particular game that at the end of it one of them was completely humiliated on more than one occasion for playing.

 

Heero recalls the time when they were playing a game of dominoes and for whatever reason Heero ended up one losing the game (defeating his purpose as the perfect soldier) and ended up in a hoopskirt and cowboy boots carrying around a stuffed lama in front of a busy mall.

 

WuFei recalls after losing a game of jacks he ended up in a diaper complete with pacifier and bonnet in front of the open window of his sword fighting class giving everyone a show.

 

Trowa, even though he lost a game of poker, seemed quite comfortable in a pair of skimpy neon pink hot pants and tube top while he strutted his stuff alongside the neighborhoods closest church.

 

Quatre turned red as a tomato after he lost a game of pick up sticks and had to dress in one of his sister's skimpiest negligee and model the see through pale pink camisole and matching thong in front of the other pilots.

 

Sure they all knew that Duo had cheated his way to victory each and every time he played, but so far none of the other pilots could catch him in the act so that none of the horrid bets placed would be fulfilled.

 

"C'mon guys! Let's have some fun!" Duo says bouncing up and down again on the couch. A collective "NO!!" rang out from his fellow pilots.

 

"Aww, c'mon fellas! You know we always have fun when we play games!" He says with a wink. WuFei snorts and lowers his book.

 

"You're the only one of us that actually enjoys these games Maxwell; everyone else suffers!" The rest of the crew nod in agreement.

 

"You guys don't mean that!. And anyway I know you all enjoy the outcomes of the games we end up playing." Duo says with a smirk. Everyone blushes in silent agreement.

 

"But that's beside the point Maxwell we will no longer be a party to your games!" WuFei pipes up.

 

"Aww c'mon! You guys know you want to play!" Duo says bouncing up and down on the couch.

 

"No we do not Duo. We've been humiliated for the last time under you guise of 'game playing'!" Heero says giving him the death glare though of all the pilots Trowa doesn't seem to be too upset with the outcomes of the games a small smirk could be seen on his face if anyone were to pay attention to him at the moment.

 

"Guys, c'mon! I know! Let's play spin the bottle!" Duo says enthusiastically jumping up and down on the couch.

 

"NO!!" they all shout out in unison after they each look at each other for a split second.

 

"You've got to be kidding Duo! There's no way on Earth that we're playing that let alone any other game you think up in that idiotic head of yours!" Heero says.

 

"Aww c'mon Heero! Guys! I know let's play hopscotch!" He says grinning at the pilots. All of them look towards each other thinking there's no way Duo could cheat at hopscotch. Each sighs inwardly as they can't help but go along with Duo's childish games.

 

"Oh all right!" Wufei says for all of them as he crumples into his chair as everyone else nods in agreement.

 

"Yay!" Duo says as he jumps up and down on the couch seeing that everyone's pretty much given into him again without having to bring up those pictures of them at the last Halloween party. Each of the pilots remembered what happened the last time they outright refused to indulge Duo in his request that they play a game of naked Twister before that horrid Halloween party. They didn't think they'd ever be able to live down the combined embarrassment of having to perform scenes from The Rocky Horror Picture Show in front of all their partygoers. (Trowa was Janet, Quatre was Brad, Heero was Frank 'n Furter, with Wufei ending up in Rocky's role.)

 

Since they didn't go along with Duo's request to play the game, he blackmailed them with pictures of them at the previous years' Christmas party. (Duo has pictures of Heero with his face in the punchbowl (because he was too drunk to figure out how to use a cup), Wufei and Quatre were snuggled up in a chair drunk and exchanging small kisses while Trowa table dancing shooting some looks at the boys in the chair not they noticed him.(oh but Duo did!)) Needless to say after the Halloween and the Christmas parties they vowed to take Duo down in one way or another to end his reign of torment and humiliation!
