Can I show you the world?

Duodin-A Whole New World

By Carol Edwards

 

Prologue: A special gift

 

“I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?”

“A whole new world”, Aladdin

Valentine's Day slowly approached the Winner Estate and everything was hokey-dory in the world...everything except for the attitude of our favorite China boy, Chang Wufei. By Nataku, there was a problem in the world. After finally professing his adoration and everlasting love to Duo Maxwell, our resident dragon boy was suddenly stuck on getting his boyfriend the perfect gift.

 

Why was this a problem? Well…it would be their first holiday as a couple. Wufei wanted the holiday to be the most special of all days since he cared so much for the longhaired bishounen. For the first time, Wufei was stumped on ideas. Currently, Wufei was sitting in the living room drumming his fingers on the arm on the couch. A writing pad was lying on the coffee table directly in front of him and crumpled balls of paper littered the floor. After twenty different starts, he was stuck. He had already written a list on things other people would probably give their own beloveds for the holiday but Wufei refused to do the ordinary concerning Duo. He was not nor would he be like other people.

 

What a dilemma? As the watcher of the heart, we all have to see how this is going to turn out, right? I know you guys are nosy, right? I've already seen how this turns out…but do you? So mortals, are you interested? Good! Let's listen in, okay?

 

Sighing, Wufei sat up straight and picked up the pen again. The writing instrument danced around fell across the blank parchment as the owner concentrated on the right words to say. Strands of inky silk repeatedly fell into Wufei's chocolate brown eyes as he continued with each movement of his body. “Let's see,” Wufei began as his hand continued to apply his thought to paper, “roses, chocolates, satin sheets, candlelight dinners, champagne, romantic dates...” Wufei growled in annoyance, crumpling yet another sheet of paper tightly into a ball. As if on autopilot, his arm pulled back, and released, shooting the paper ball towards a small taupe garbage can located in a the corner of the room. The paper ball bounced twice off the lid before safely landing in the can. Wufei grumbled, staring at the filled trashcan, overloaded with wasted thoughts and “failed ideas”. His mind was so preoccupied that Wufei didn't hear the soft footsteps approach from behind him.

 

“Having problems, Wufei?”

 

Chocolate velvet eyes blinked once before Wufei glanced over his shoulder. A brilliant pair of matching aquamarine stared right back at him, worried. The owner of said jewels belonged to the only person in the house that could give Wufei some relief from his current anxiety. Funny, since the young man was probably feeling the same way Wufei did, “Maybe, Quatre.” Wufei replied, running a hand thru his ragged hair. He would have take out his hair again and redo it. The Chinese boy was always trying to straighten out stray hairs, yet it was a lost cause since his ebony hair was so fine, “I'm kind of lost on Duo's present.”

 

“Present,” Quatre questioned, blinking curiously before he exclaimed in glee, “Oh! That's right. Valentine's Day is coming up!”

 

Ebony brows burrowed into an oval face, “What's Zechs getting you?”

 

“I've haven't the slightest idea,” Quatre answered honestly, confusion written over his face, “He hasn't even talked to me because of that damn mission Treize has him on.”

 

Wufei snickered, but not too loudly, judging from the expression on his friend's face. The mere mention of Zechs' ex-lover caused the gentle empath to rant without warning, “Calm down, Quat. I bet you that it will be something that you will never expect.”

 

Frowning, Quatre smirked sarcastically at Wufei, “Yeah, right.” Suddenly, the craziest idea popped into Quatre's head about Duo, something that the longhaired teenager did while Wufei was away, “Hey! I had a thought. Maybe you could write a story for Duo. While you were away on your last mission, I was passing by your room. I noticed that Duo stayed in there for hours, cuddled up on your bed with that old copy of Disney's Aladdin and that panda bear you got him at the carnival.”

 

Shocked, Wufei's expression resembled raisins in a bowl of cow's milk. He blushed before he spoke, “He did?!?” Wufei knew Duo loved that story-Adoration would be a better word for it. It was a miracle that dvd was still useable as many times as Wufei's braided boyfriend viewed the action/adventure. In their spare time, the couple spent endless hours together. Usually, they could be found exploring Quatre's private library with Wufei reading and discussing various classics with his love. It was during one such excursion, they found the literary version of the “Aladdin” story from “Stories from the thousand and one nights.” What an enjoyable time that was. Wufei and Duo would snuggle comfortably in a room and the couple would read on the loveseat, enjoying their closeness with one another.

 

Wufei smiled in remembrance. Reading stories with Duo was heaven. He enjoyed watching Duo's exotic eyes glow from his enactments. Just like the desperate wife saving her skin from her husband, Wufei would change the direction of the story each night, painting a different adventure out the life of a mischievous, yet kindhearted Arabian pauper. Many lessons were taught from the story, lessons about life, hope, magic and love.

 

This extraordinary adventure pulled at Wufei's heartstrings, invoking his unusual curiosity for information. Soon, he began studying other books in Quatre's massive library including the teaching of the Qu'ran and other ancient books associated with Arabian culture. Even if Quatre' culture viewed their relationship in a negative light, Wufei didn't care. Most cultures felt that way towards their type of relationship, but Wufei felt he could make a world just for Duo and him. The original story of Aladdin was much different from the Disney version but the ideal was the same.

 

Wufei smiled in thought. The lonely dragon had finally found his phoenix, a priceless treasure, just as Aladdin had found his. With that thought in mind, Wufei made a decision. Yes…Wufei finally knew what to give Duo now, "Quatre, you know…that's not a bad idea. You think you can help me?”

 

A twinkle sparkled in those big aquamarine eyes and before Wufei could speak, the Chinese teenager already knew the answer glowing from Quatre's smile.

 

~***~

 

It was February 7th, one week before Valentine's Day, at 9 pm at night. In total exhaustion, Duo had just entered into the bedroom he now shared with Wufei. Glancing at the window, it was still early yet Duo just wanted to roll over and go to sleep. After spending hours and hours playing chess with Quatre while drinking tea instead of coffee, all Duo wanted now was a nice hot shower. Maybe, if he were lucky, that would include a lot of making out. Duo frowned. After much pursuing, Wufei was finally his yet, the new couple had yet to consummate their relationship to the final level. Not to say that Duo wasn't eager, because he was eager as hell. He stood by the door blushing in spite of himself. His nightly ritual of waking up in the middle of the night to ice cold showers after sleeping so closely to Wufei every night just reinforced that fact.

 

Every couple had problems. The only major problem in Wufei and Duo's relationship was issues of their past. Within life and war, everyone wore a mask and just like his clown personae, Duo's mask only covered the pain of his life-his loneliness combined with the emptiness of solitude. Wufei, somehow, saw through Duo's shields, breaking past Shinigami's shell. After many conversations, Wufei finally understood everything about Duo and what made the resident “God of Death” tick. Over time, Duo didn't feel the least bit pressured nor did he pressure Wufei. Even though Wufei had already been married and widowed before they officially met, your past was your past. Wufei helped Duo understand that. Not to say that the young couple didn't touch each other, just Wufei and Duo were very careful in their intimacy. In all honest, Duo found out that his gruffly Chinese boyfriend was a big teddy bear with a fixation for cuddling.

 

Loosening his long flowing chestnut mane, manually separating the tangles with his fingers, Duo walked straight toward the bathroom in total desperation for a shower. He didn't even care that the room was empty. Duo was too busy swearing while ranting about crazy best friend and their tea bag fetishes. “Now, where the hell is Wufei,” Duo yelled. His boyfriend told him he was going to bed earlier due to his mission the next day, so where was he?

 

Scratching his scalp, Duo grabbed the towel off the door and walked by to enter the bathroom. The long haired teen was so busy ranting; he never noticed the letter lying on his bed. The bathroom door closed behind Duo as he replayed his day-breakfast, cleaning Shinigami and that damn game with Quatre. The only good thing was cleaning Shinigami. His jet-black Gundam now gleamed in the Winner garage, shining like metallic chrome on a new sport car. Pale hands pulled the elastic from his hips and white boxers with tiny hearts soon fell to the floor. Naked, Duo pulled back the shower curtain and turned the hot and cold knobs, adjusting to the perfect temperature. After a few seconds, Duo reached in to test the water and when everything was okay he finally stepped into the lovely ceramic tub. One hand along with his forehead as Duo sighed letting the hot pulsating streams of water pounded down over his back and lithe muscles, caressing out the aches and pains of the day.

 

Twenty minutes had passed before the youth named “Death” walked out the bathroom feeling clean and refreshed from his shower. A black towel hung low on his swaying pale hips, barely covering a line of chestnut hair leading towards his manhood. Another towel, balanced precariously around his head, in a turban fashion, before being pulled off. Water dripped slowly to the floor while Duo quickly began towel-drying his long hair and squeezing out the excess water. He was currently searching for his hairdryer, finding it at the top of Wufei's closet. With his tool of the trade, Duo walked over and sat down on his bed turning on his “power tool.” The moment he sat down, Duo heard a loud crunching sound, and jumped up, turning to investigate. Lying on the top of his comforter, with the indention of his backside on it, was an envelope tied with black ribbons inscribed with Duo's name in golden script. Duo looked from side to side before cautiously picking up the letter up, scrutinizing it, checking over his name. “Huh,” Duo muttered, his violet eyes widening from the words after opening the note:

 

“Duo,

You are about to embark on an adventure of love, intrigue and ultimate happiness. I have several items hidden within the room to help you along on your trip. So, my darling one, you will unroll the carpet by the right hand side of the stand, gently lay it on the floor.”

 

Duo looked briefly at the small nightstand by their bed and there, arched on the wall, was a beautiful carpet of intricate design, embedded with black, gold, and violet coloring. Shrugging, Duo rose and walked over to the carpet. The carpet had a gold cord wrapped around it. The moment Duo released the cord, the carpet unfurled with a snap. Duo then followed the instructions, laying the carpet on the floor and sitting down. Duo then continued reading the letter:

 

“If you are reading this, then you have already placed your transportation to our world.”

 

“Transportation?!” A chestnut eyebrow arched gracefully and Duo shook his head, continuing to read:

 

“Now, under our bed is a black box. Retrieve it. Put on the first set of clothes, my love and do not braid your hair, leave your hair out.”

 

Duo did as he was instructed reaching under the bed and finding the box described in the letter. Lifting the lid, amethyst eyes widened in awe at the different ensembles. According to the letter, Duo was asked put on the first outfit. Delicately, shifting the clothes around, Duo gasped at the first one marked simply with a little tag stating, “Costume one.” The outfit was gorgeous, consisting of a short jet black and violet vest the shade of his eyes, slightly baggy white balloon pants and a matching pair of black sandals. The pants would hang loose on Duo's slim hips. The ensemble appeared to be a slight variation of the outfit Aladdin had worn in the Disney`s movie.

 

“Aladdin,” Duo yelled while his mind began working overtime. His eyes focused on each word of the letter as Duo continued reading:

 

“Now, my lovely one... Go to the top drawer by the desk, by the bed, and take out the box. Place the box on the carpet and sit down. You must then open the red and black box, very...very...slowly...”

 

Again, Duo followed instructions and a second box was within the box. Duo knew what was up and very slowly opened the package. The lithe teenager blushed; sheets upon sheets of papyrus paper were placed together and held tightly by golden strings. Written on the very first page, inscribed in golden script, were the most beautiful words in the most exquisite handwriting Duo had ever seen. It could only be the work of Wufei. Soft pale fingertips traced over golden trails of calligraphy, caressing each curve of the pen. Duo felt entranced; mesmerized by the amount of the time that it took for his boyfriend to do this.

 

Not wanting to waste any time, Duo began reading out loud and slowly became absorbed into the world of Wufei's Aladdin.

Author note: HEHEH!! I love fairytales but I really love it when my OCC Wufei tells a story. When I first started this story, I hadn't worked on it for awhile. My Wufei muse kept buggering the hell out of me to finish this damn story for Valentine's Day, but as you can see, it is not Valentine's Day. But let me not digress; any day is Valentine's Day within the Gundam Wing universe. Revamping the story yet again, I let my crazy bunch of muses' gang up on Wufei while he tells a tale in a way his beloved Duo will understand (and crack a joke or two). Snicker! Life just makes the story even funnier. Join the fun because this is just the start of this roller coaster!
