Chapter Eight-Day at the Carnival
Heero led Wufei into the house, an arm wrapped securely around his waist. Heero closed the door behind them and pulled Wufei close again and smiled softly as Wufei lazily pushed him away before shrugging and letting Heero kiss him again. Then they pulled apart and Heero imprinted what Wufei look at that moment into his brain forever.
Wufei slipped his shoes off and wiggled his toes. "Where exactly does this date end since we live together?" Wufei looked at Heero questionly. "At the front door? In the kitchen? At the hall in front of our rooms? In our rooms?" Wufei rolled his eyes at himself. "I'm starting to sound like Duo."
"You sound like drunk Wufei." Heero smiled and kissed Wufei again. "Right here outta be good. Night." With that Heero jogged up to his room and disappeared inside of it and listened until he heard the familiar sound of Wufei mumbling about injustice and Wufei's door closing. Then Heero slipped out of his room and went down to the kitchen, finding Duo right where he had figured.
"Heero." Duo said, holding up his glass in a mock toast.
"Duo." Heero replied and sat down. "About the bet-"
Duo grinned and nodded. "Yes, about the bet. I believe I've practically won which means that you own me." Duo tilted his chair back. "You know we never did say what the prize was going to be." Duo shrugged. "How about for a day you take me to the carnival up down and-"
"Duo!" Heero growled. "I think that we should call the bet o-"
"What bet?" Wufei asked as he entered the kitchen. Wufei opened the fridge and pulled out the orange juice.
Duo and Heero looked at each other and cleared their throats. "We were betting what time you guys would get home. I was closer." Duo said quickly. "So Heero owes me a day at the carnival." Duo stood up and saluted Wufei and Heero. "Anyways, I'm gonna go up to bed now. I'll see the both of you tomorrow. Heero? What do you say we go about ten o'clock since neither of us are working tomorrow anyways?" Duo shrugged and then went up to bed.
"So you're going with Duo tomorrow." Wufei sounded a bit disappointed. "Guess you two will probably be making a day out of it, huh?"
"Yeah, sounds like it." Heero sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "Not exactly what I planned spending my day off doing." Heero's thoughts floated to the talks that he had hoped they would get around to. Not to mention the kissing...
"You have a prior arrangement." Wufei shrugged. "Besides I do have to work tomorrow so I'll just see you when I get home. Maybe we could go see a movie or something tomorrow night." Wufei let the statement hang in the air and then got up. "I'm tired too, I just needed a drink. I'll see you tomorrow Heero."
"Night." Heero went to the living room and turned on the news and stared at it for a while.
He woke up the next morning to the sound of the tv blaring and the smell of coffee. Heero shifted and found a blanket was draped over him. Heero's eyes opened and he looked up to see Duo gazing down at him with a cup of coffee in his hand. "Have a good sleep? I found you there last night when I heard the tv fuzzing. You looked too comfortable for me to want to wake up so I just put a blanket on you." Duo handed Heero the coffee and sat down on Heero's legs. "You ready to go?"
"What time is it?" Heero's voice sounded even more husky as he woke himself up slowly, registering Duo's weight on his legs as a minor nuisance.
"It's nine already." Duo replied, shifting off of Heero and onto the floor, where another cup of coffee sat. "Wufei already left. So Heero, want a shower? I took mine awhile ago, had to wash my hair after last night, but I'm sure the hot water's back by now. I'll go get you clean towels while you're in there."
Heero nodded and finished the cup of coffee. "Thanks."
"No problem." Duo flashed Heero a grin and then got up.
Heero went upstairs and grabbed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Then he went to the bathroom and turned on the shower. Heero quickly shaved as he waited for the water to heat up and then climbed in the shower. Heero was washing his hair when he heard the door open and Duo creep in.
"Hey Duo?" Heero called out.
"Yeah?"
"There's no soap in here, want to pass me some?" Heero waited a second and then heard the tell-tale sounds of Duo unwrapping a new car of soap. Duo's hand snuck into the shower and Heero grabbed the soap from it. "Thanks Duo."
"Welcome. See you in a few."
Heero finished his shower and quickly slipped into his clothes (1) Then Heero went to his room and grabbed his wallet. The preventors were paying him a lot of money to train their top agent's dogs. Heero didn't really need it but it was a bonus. With all the money he had hacked during the war, Heero didn't think money was going to be a problem for an extrememly long time. Not that anyone really needed to know that.
Heero walked down the stairs and saw Duo waiting by the door. Heero glared as he read Duo's shirt. It stated "Yes I'm gay and yes this is my boyfriend and hell yeah he will kick your ass for me."
Duo saw Heero's glared and laughed. "What? Don't you like my shirt?" Heero just kept glaring and Duo sighed. "It's either this or my "my boyfriend's a porn star" shirt. Everything else is either too formal, too tight or too dirty."
Heero sighed. "Fine, you can wear that."
Duo beamed and then threw his arm around Heero's neck. "You won't regret it!" Duo led Heero out, closing the door behind him. "We're gonna have so much fun today. This is the first time in a long time since we went somewhere just you and me." Duo skipped around to the other side of the car."
Heero climbed in the driver side and reached over to unlock Duo's door. "Yeah, it's been a long while." Heero adjusted the rearview mirror. Heero started up the car and backed out of the driveway. "Sorry. I've been pre-occupied lately and-"
"Hey no worries. You're hanging out with me now." Duo grinned. "Think we could go play at the 'shoot the target' booth first? I want you to win me the biggest teddy bear there." Duo giggled and then looked over at Heero while Heero studied his expression in a quick glance. "I was just kidding."
"You sound like Relena." Heero stated. "I'll win you the biggest teddy bear there if you take off that stupid shirt." Heero sped around the corner and grinned when he saw Duo was holding on for dear life.
"You want me to go around half naked?" Duo questioned and then rolled his eyes. "And they said that I was the preverted one. And don't compare me to that pink princess." Duo shivered. "I'll walk around without a shirt if you do."
"Deal."
Heero pulled over and both ex-pilots undid their seatbelts, hanked off their t-shirts and threw them in the back. Then Heero rejoined traffic and soon they pulled up to the crowded carnival, parked and headed in. Heero led Duo straight to the booth that he had wanted to go to first.
"Three shots for two bucks. Win your girl a stuffie." The man called out and Heero rolled his eyes before striding up to him confidently.
"I'll take three." Heero slammed down the money and took the 'bullets'. Heero loaded the gun and aimed, hitting one stack down easily.
"Nice shot." The man commented. "You get two more though. Get all three and get another round free of charge."
Heero didn't reply, simply re-aimed and fired. He hit down the second pile and quickly did the same to the third. Then he turned to Duo. "Pick one." Duo pointed out a blue tiger and the man got it for him quickly. "Want another one?" Heero asked Duo. Duo nodded and raised a finger to a teddy bear that had a chain with a cross around his neck. (2) Heero grabbed his next three shots and shot down three more piles. The man gave him the teddy bear while Heero put the gun down. "Thanks but that'll be all." The man nodded, probably happy that Heero didn't plan to win the entire pile of stuffies he had and Heero and Duo made their way to another booth.
For the next hour or so, Duo and Heero took turns at each booth, winning two stuffies at each. Then they went to the booth accepting toy donations for orphanages Duo had looked at twice and Heero had pulled him over there instantly.
"Are you donating all of these?" The lady asked, looking at their armfuls of toys. "You two are very generous, bless your souls."
"Yes, all of them." Heero looked over and saw Duo staring wishfully at the teddy bear with the cross and Heero pulled it off the pile. "Except for this one."
The lady nodded and Heero led Duo away, handing him the teddy as he did so. Duo fingered the teddy bear in awe and Heero smiled. "Wanna go on some rides?"
Duo looked at Heero and nodded and they joined the line for the rollarcoaster.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
Wufei sat in his office, tapping his pen on a piece of paper he was supposed to be studying for the next mission and looked at his watch. It was 11:48am, his watch told him and Wufei sighed. Right about now Heero and Duo would be heading to eat lunch.
Wufei closed his eyes and innerly glared at himself. Heero and Duo's activities were none of his concerns, they were just two friends going to a carnival together. Heero was with him! So what on earth was Wufei doing trying to guess what Heero was doing every five minutes of the day? It was a pointless thing to do and it wasn't like Wufei didn't have something more important to do. He did, he had paperwork.
But yet, every little while Wufei would find himself looking down at his wrist, checking to see what time it was and instantly trying to figure out where Heero was at that precise moment.
What on earth was going on? Wufei had caught himself more times than he wanted to mention, acting like a completely and total love sick onna. It was pitiful! What was different between Heero and every single person Wufei had tried to go on a date with before? This was the first time ever he had done this to himself and well, he didn't like it. So what was it?
Heero was definitely the most physically in shape out of everyone he had ever dated before. Heero was also the only gundam pilot but Wufei was quick to dismiss those two possibilites. After all, that wasn't it. If he was just interested in someone who was in top physical condition or a gundam pilot, he could have gone with Trowa, Quatre or Duo and he didn't. It seemed to be just Heero that effected him this way.
Well Heero was also one of the smartest people that Wufei had ever 'gone out with'. That might it. It be something to do with the fact that all this stuff he could give to Heero and have it done in just a second were making him think of Heero.
Wufei shook his head. No, that wasn't it either.
Well then what in the fuck is it?
"What's the matter Wufei?" Noin asked as she entered his cubicle. "Can't think? Sheesh, I've never see you this bad in your life. Usually you would have this done in a second. What's wrong? Did you finally find someone who won't throw themselves in your bed."
Wufei froze. That could be it! Heero was the only person that Wufei had ever gone out with that didn't follow Wufei around. Heero was the only person that Wufei had ever gone out with that wasn't here at lunchtime with a picnic basket (or something of the sort) and flowers and the offer to go and have lunch somewhere they could 'be alone'. Heero was the only one that wasn't busy thinking of him (3)
Wufei jumped up and slammed the papers into Noin's hands. "Hey, can you look over these and make smaller notes for me to look at later. I need to go and do something."
"Hey what's going on?" Noin exclaimed but Wufei didn't stay around to tell her as he ran to the stairs and ran down all of them (Duo had counted them once when the elevator was broken and there was 237).
"Hey Wufei, what's the rush?" The guard asked Wufei as he ran past him.
"I remembered that I have to go and meet someone." Wufei yelled back and kept going.
"Have fun." The guard called after him while he chuckled to himself but Wufei didn't care. He unlocked his doors quickly and climbed in. He was going to go and meet Heero.
Heero didn't know how to be a boyfriend, and he was waiting for Wufei to tell him what he wanted. So Wufei would just tell him that he needed the lunchtime thing. Then he would be acting like every other person Wufei had dated and Wufei would be able to get back to his work and wouldn't have to worry about worrying about Heero.
Wufei sped down the freeway as he made his way to that damn fair that just had to be out of town which meant that it would take about twenty minutes to get there, another ten to explain things to Heero, another two to get Heero to win him something and other twenty to get back to work. He'd be gone for about an hour, enough time for Une to realize that he was gone. The only way he might get saved is by the fact that Une wouldn't look for him if she didn't get a hint that she should. Hopefully Noin knew how to shut up.
Wufei reached over to the volume control for his sound system and turned it up and listened to the song that was on. It was some song that Wufei didn't recongize but that was alright. He didn't care. Wufei felt weird racing down the freeway while listening to music that was blaring in his ear. It was....different.
Almost foreign to him. Wufei blinked, this relationship with Heero was changing a lot of things with him. What on earth was going on?
Wufei pulled up to the carnival, parked in one of the parking lots and ran into the carnival and looked around. Where should he check first? Wufei saw a path that lead to a basketball court and didn't know why but decided that that was exactly where Heero and Duo were. Wufei headed that way, avoiding running into the crowds of people that were everywhere.
Wufei headed up the path and saw who he figured was Heero, a shirtless Heero with an equally shirtless Duo. They looked to be attached at the hip and were whispering in each other's ears as they looked a pair of kids that held a basketball. Obviously Heero and Duo had found someone to play them.
Wufei found his temper growing as he saw Duo lean in a little closer to make sure that their opponents didn't hear their plan. Heero nodded at Duo and then pulled away and Wufei grinned with pride. Wufei caught himself at that and growled at himself. What on earth was he doing now? Duo was Heero's best friend.
But then again, Wufei knew that Duo had had a crush on Heero the size of the moon just a couple of weeks ago. What if he wasn't over that crush yet? What if...
Wufei shook his head. It wasn't going to do him any good to play the 'what if' game.
Wufei walked up to the side of the court and sat down on the grass, willing to watch Heero and Duo's game against these unexpecting teens.
"First ball goes to you." Heero announced as he passed back the ball that the two had given to him. "We figure it's only fair."
"Whatever." The taller of the two said. "It's your funeral because we aren't going to give this up." The boy passed Heero the ball and then Heero passed it back and the game started.
The taller one passed it to the shorter one who Duo was obviously checking judging by the fact that the second he had the ball, Duo was all over him. The shorter one swallowed in nervousness and then started to dribble the ball and even Duo looked impressed by his skill.
But obviously not impressed enough because Duo snatched it from the guy without a second shot and Heero instantly moved from being in front of the taller one to moving back behind him and then starting to move around while Duo started dribbling it easily, not trying to scare them.
Or let them know just how good they were this early in the game.
Then Duo passed it to Heero who turned and jump-shotted it. Two points, no problem. Heero grabbed the ball and passed it to the short one who passed it to Duo, who passed it back and it started again.
This time Heero was playing defense rather than Duo. Sure Duo was standing by the shorter one just in case the tall one got the ball around Heero (which was basically not likely to happen). The tall one faked to the right but Heero didn't follow him and was on him the second he went to the left. The tall one was completely stunned by this and almost fumbled in his dribbling. His pause was so subtle only the ex-pilots would have noticed and only Heero would have been able to act on it.
Heero grabbed the ball and quickly passed it off to Duo, who aimed and swoosh, two more points.
The two nameless opponents didn't look all too happy and gritted their teeth, obviously ready to give this game their all. Wufei smirked as he recongized the change in Heero's demeanor. Heero and Duo were now going to give it their all too.
And that was going to be something to see.
Two slam dunks, eight jump shots and four three pointers later, Heero and Duo won the game 34-5. The two teens slunked away in defeat while Heero and Duo just grinned and Duo shot another ball at the basket.
"Think we're going to find anyone else to beat before the end of the day?" Duo asked with a grin as he jogged up to the ball and then passed it over to Heero.
"Nah, everyone who might have gone against us saw how bad we beat those two and aren't going to do anything about it for quite a long time." Heero said as he leaned down and tied his shoes.
Wufei got up and went over to Heero and touched him on the shoulder. Heero started and then looked up, his eyes widening slightly with the shock as he realized who he was looking at.
"Hey."
"Wufei?" Heero asked dumbly as he straigtened up. "You're supposed to be at work, aren't you? What happened?"
"Nothing. I just got bored and there was nothing to do. I finished early, so I came out here. You don't mind, do you?"
Heero shook his head and looked over at Duo who was looking at the ball like it was the most interesting thing in the world. "Uh, Duo? Can he stay?"
What on earth was Heero doing? Who cared what Duo thought??? Then Wufei remembered that today Duo had claimed because of a dare. Great, Heero just had to be honorable.
"Um, sure, I guess so." Duo shrugged and stretched up and then flashed us an embarassed look as his stomach growled. "I think I need to eat now."
Heero nodded. "Come on, I'll buy you two a hot dog."
Wufei grinned and fell in step right next to Heero. Now all he had to do was get Heero away from Duo so he could talk to him about this problem of his, by himself. The last thing he needed was Duo to find out about it. He'd never let Wufei live it down that he couldn't concentrate because he was too busy thinking about Heero. Never...
Not in a million years...so Duo would just not get to know. That would work. Wufei grabbed Heero's hand and pulled him into a run. That would definitely work.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
Duo watched as Wufei pulled Heero down the path towards where the food was. Duo sighed, so much for his day with just Heero. This was supposed to be a day that Heero and Duo spent time together, best friends only, kinda thing. But no, Wufei has to come and ruin it all again. It was bad enough that Heero had been so obviously interested in Wufei when he had a crush on Heero but now this was just too much.
Duo sighed and started to head towards the car. Heero could go home with Wufei when they finally realized that they were alone. Duo on the other hand wasn't going to stay here and watch them do whatever it was that they planned on doing.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" Heero asked, grabbing onto Duo's braid. "Aren't you hungry? If you don't want a hotdog I can get you something else." Heero paused. "I'll share a plate of nachos with you if you want."
Duo blinked as he realized Heero was in front of him and Wufei was no where in sight. "Where's Wufei?"
"Sent him ahead." Heero said with a shrug. "He won't be here long, he has to go back to work. Then we can go and see if we can talk someone else into playing basketball or something. We could even go somewhere else if that's what you want." Heero looked at Duo again. "So, where were you going?"
"Home." Duo admitted. "I figured you and Wufei would want to do something together. It's not a big deal."
"I said I'd spend the day with you Duo." Heero said, frowning. "I'm not going to change that just because Wufei is here. You're still my best friend. Wufei's my boyfriend now. That doesn't mean that I have to spend time with him just because he's here."
"You'd better watch out." Duo said with a grin as he looked up at Heero. "You're going to make him think that you and me are doing something if you don't pay attention to him when he's here."
Heero rolled his eyes. "Coming?"
"Only if you were serious about the nachos."
"I was."
"Good." Duo and Heero began to walk down the path to where Wufei was probably waiting for them. "Then I will come with you love birds." This was how it should be, Duo thought, me and Heero. Best friends without a care in the world. "Someone's gotta make sure that you don't start making out in front of all the little kids."
"Very funny Duo." Heero said with a growl. "You're usually the one breaking that rule, aren't you?"
Duo stuck his tongue out at Heero. "So? You're always there to make me stop. You're like my own personal mother when Quatre's not around."
"I'm not as bad as Quatre." Heero said, glaring at Duo.
"Almost."
"No where near."
"Alright, but that's only because Quatre's that bad!" Duo proclaimed and ran ahead, turning around to grin at Heero again.
Heero jogged to catch up with Duo and then he grabbed Duo and pulled him over, which threw both of them into the wall, Duo pressed up against Heero, Heero against the wall.
"Hey! What are you doing? This is beyond friendly contact, man." Duo said with a cheeky grin, trying to ignore their closeness.
"You almost ran into someone." Heero said. "Get off!"
"Yes sir." Duo said and removed himself from against Heero and looked around. "Better hope Wufei didn't see that. He might think that you were putting the moves on me."
"Would you stop it." Heero said firmly. "You don't have to put the act on me." Heero grabbed Duo's braid. "When Wufei's gone, we're going to talk."
"About what?" Duo asked, frightened all of a sudden.
"There you two are." Wufei said, suddenly appearing and scaring Duo slightly. "Come on, I found a table and some kid is watching it for us for a buck." Wufei motioned the way.
Duo nodded and followed the two other pilots as they went to the table. What on earth did Heero want to talk to him about?
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
{1-YEAH! Heero in no underwear drools}
{2-It's a Duo-teddy }
{3-"When they retreat, we advance therefore if we retreat they'll advance"....for some strange reason that actually works sometimes shrugs I don't know why but it does!! sometimes at least.... Poor Wufei, getting sucked in by some weird theory of some people}
{A/N: Hey look, it's a long chapter FYI, this chapter was like 4000 words long (which is long compared to my other chapters)...It's length is dedicated to Feikins who said my last chapter was too short, which it probably was but eh...
waves to her reviewers You people rule!!!!!
btw...i don't know whether or not Neko and Duo will be together at the end but I do doubt it...I can't see it unless I do a major change with her *nods*....but I don't know about 1x2x5 *shrugs* guess we'll have to wait and see }

"Nice shot." The man commented. "You get two more though. Get all three and get another round free of charge."
Heero didn't reply, simply re-aimed and fired. He hit down the second pile and quickly did the same to the third. Then he turned to Duo. "Pick one." Duo pointed out a blue tiger and the man got it for him quickly. "Want another one?" Heero asked Duo. Duo nodded and raised a finger to a teddy bear that had a chain with a cross around his neck. (2) Heero grabbed his next three shots and shot down three more piles. The man gave him the teddy bear while Heero put the gun down. "Thanks but that'll be all." The man nodded, probably happy that Heero didn't plan to win the entire pile of stuffies he had and Heero and Duo made their way to another booth.
For the next hour or so, Duo and Heero took turns at each booth, winning two stuffies at each. Then they went to the booth accepting toy donations for orphanages Duo had looked at twice and Heero had pulled him over there instantly.
"Are you donating all of these?" The lady asked, looking at their armfuls of toys. "You two are very generous, bless your souls."
"Yes, all of them." Heero looked over and saw Duo staring wishfully at the teddy bear with the cross and Heero pulled it off the pile. "Except for this one."
The lady nodded and Heero led Duo away, handing him the teddy as he did so. Duo fingered the teddy bear in awe and Heero smiled. "Wanna go on some rides?"
Duo looked at Heero and nodded and they joined the line for the rollarcoaster.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
Wufei sat in his office, tapping his pen on a piece of paper he was supposed to be studying for the next mission and looked at his watch. It was 11:48am, his watch told him and Wufei sighed. Right about now Heero and Duo would be heading to eat lunch.
Wufei closed his eyes and innerly glared at himself. Heero and Duo's activities were none of his concerns, they were just two friends going to a carnival together. Heero was with him! So what on earth was Wufei doing trying to guess what Heero was doing every five minutes of the day? It was a pointless thing to do and it wasn't like Wufei didn't have something more important to do. He did, he had paperwork.
But yet, every little while Wufei would find himself looking down at his wrist, checking to see what time it was and instantly trying to figure out where Heero was at that precise moment.
What on earth was going on? Wufei had caught himself more times than he wanted to mention, acting like a completely and total love sick onna. It was pitiful! What was different between Heero and every single person Wufei had tried to go on a date with before? This was the first time ever he had done this to himself and well, he didn't like it. So what was it?
Heero was definitely the most physically in shape out of everyone he had ever dated before. Heero was also the only gundam pilot but Wufei was quick to dismiss those two possibilites. After all, that wasn't it. If he was just interested in someone who was in top physical condition or a gundam pilot, he could have gone with Trowa, Quatre or Duo and he didn't. It seemed to be just Heero that effected him this way.
Well Heero was also one of the smartest people that Wufei had ever 'gone out with'. That might it. It be something to do with the fact that all this stuff he could give to Heero and have it done in just a second were making him think of Heero.
Wufei shook his head. No, that wasn't it either.
Well then what in the fuck is it?
"What's the matter Wufei?" Noin asked as she entered his cubicle. "Can't think? Sheesh, I've never see you this bad in your life. Usually you would have this done in a second. What's wrong? Did you finally find someone who won't throw themselves in your bed."
Wufei froze. That could be it! Heero was the only person that Wufei had ever gone out with that didn't follow Wufei around. Heero was the only person that Wufei had ever gone out with that wasn't here at lunchtime with a picnic basket (or something of the sort) and flowers and the offer to go and have lunch somewhere they could 'be alone'. Heero was the only one that wasn't busy thinking of him (3)
Wufei jumped up and slammed the papers into Noin's hands. "Hey, can you look over these and make smaller notes for me to look at later. I need to go and do something."
"Hey what's going on?" Noin exclaimed but Wufei didn't stay around to tell her as he ran to the stairs and ran down all of them (Duo had counted them once when the elevator was broken and there was 237).
"Hey Wufei, what's the rush?" The guard asked Wufei as he ran past him.
"I remembered that I have to go and meet someone." Wufei yelled back and kept going.
"Have fun." The guard called after him while he chuckled to himself but Wufei didn't care. He unlocked his doors quickly and climbed in. He was going to go and meet Heero.
Heero didn't know how to be a boyfriend, and he was waiting for Wufei to tell him what he wanted. So Wufei would just tell him that he needed the lunchtime thing. Then he would be acting like every other person Wufei had dated and Wufei would be able to get back to his work and wouldn't have to worry about worrying about Heero.
Wufei sped down the freeway as he made his way to that damn fair that just had to be out of town which meant that it would take about twenty minutes to get there, another ten to explain things to Heero, another two to get Heero to win him something and other twenty to get back to work. He'd be gone for about an hour, enough time for Une to realize that he was gone. The only way he might get saved is by the fact that Une wouldn't look for him if she didn't get a hint that she should. Hopefully Noin knew how to shut up.
Wufei reached over to the volume control for his sound system and turned it up and listened to the song that was on. It was some song that Wufei didn't recongize but that was alright. He didn't care. Wufei felt weird racing down the freeway while listening to music that was blaring in his ear. It was....different.
Almost foreign to him. Wufei blinked, this relationship with Heero was changing a lot of things with him. What on earth was going on?
Wufei pulled up to the carnival, parked in one of the parking lots and ran into the carnival and looked around. Where should he check first? Wufei saw a path that lead to a basketball court and didn't know why but decided that that was exactly where Heero and Duo were. Wufei headed that way, avoiding running into the crowds of people that were everywhere.
Wufei headed up the path and saw who he figured was Heero, a shirtless Heero with an equally shirtless Duo. They looked to be attached at the hip and were whispering in each other's ears as they looked a pair of kids that held a basketball. Obviously Heero and Duo had found someone to play them.
Wufei found his temper growing as he saw Duo lean in a little closer to make sure that their opponents didn't hear their plan. Heero nodded at Duo and then pulled away and Wufei grinned with pride. Wufei caught himself at that and growled at himself. What on earth was he doing now? Duo was Heero's best friend.
But then again, Wufei knew that Duo had had a crush on Heero the size of the moon just a couple of weeks ago. What if he wasn't over that crush yet? What if...
Wufei shook his head. It wasn't going to do him any good to play the 'what if' game.
Wufei walked up to the side of the court and sat down on the grass, willing to watch Heero and Duo's game against these unexpecting teens.
"First ball goes to you." Heero announced as he passed back the ball that the two had given to him. "We figure it's only fair."
"Whatever." The taller of the two said. "It's your funeral because we aren't going to give this up." The boy passed Heero the ball and then Heero passed it back and the game started.
The taller one passed it to the shorter one who Duo was obviously checking judging by the fact that the second he had the ball, Duo was all over him. The shorter one swallowed in nervousness and then started to dribble the ball and even Duo looked impressed by his skill.
But obviously not impressed enough because Duo snatched it from the guy without a second shot and Heero instantly moved from being in front of the taller one to moving back behind him and then starting to move around while Duo started dribbling it easily, not trying to scare them.
Or let them know just how good they were this early in the game.
Then Duo passed it to Heero who turned and jump-shotted it. Two points, no problem. Heero grabbed the ball and passed it to the short one who passed it to Duo, who passed it back and it started again.
This time Heero was playing defense rather than Duo. Sure Duo was standing by the shorter one just in case the tall one got the ball around Heero (which was basically not likely to happen). The tall one faked to the right but Heero didn't follow him and was on him the second he went to the left. The tall one was completely stunned by this and almost fumbled in his dribbling. His pause was so subtle only the ex-pilots would have noticed and only Heero would have been able to act on it.
Heero grabbed the ball and quickly passed it off to Duo, who aimed and swoosh, two more points.
The two nameless opponents didn't look all too happy and gritted their teeth, obviously ready to give this game their all. Wufei smirked as he recongized the change in Heero's demeanor. Heero and Duo were now going to give it their all too.
And that was going to be something to see.
Two slam dunks, eight jump shots and four three pointers later, Heero and Duo won the game 34-5. The two teens slunked away in defeat while Heero and Duo just grinned and Duo shot another ball at the basket.
"Think we're going to find anyone else to beat before the end of the day?" Duo asked with a grin as he jogged up to the ball and then passed it over to Heero.
"Nah, everyone who might have gone against us saw how bad we beat those two and aren't going to do anything about it for quite a long time." Heero said as he leaned down and tied his shoes.
Wufei got up and went over to Heero and touched him on the shoulder. Heero started and then looked up, his eyes widening slightly with the shock as he realized who he was looking at.
"Hey."
"Wufei?" Heero asked dumbly as he straigtened up. "You're supposed to be at work, aren't you? What happened?"
"Nothing. I just got bored and there was nothing to do. I finished early, so I came out here. You don't mind, do you?"
Heero shook his head and looked over at Duo who was looking at the ball like it was the most interesting thing in the world. "Uh, Duo? Can he stay?"
What on earth was Heero doing? Who cared what Duo thought??? Then Wufei remembered that today Duo had claimed because of a dare. Great, Heero just had to be honorable.
"Um, sure, I guess so." Duo shrugged and stretched up and then flashed us an embarassed look as his stomach growled. "I think I need to eat now."
Heero nodded. "Come on, I'll buy you two a hot dog."
Wufei grinned and fell in step right next to Heero. Now all he had to do was get Heero away from Duo so he could talk to him about this problem of his, by himself. The last thing he needed was Duo to find out about it. He'd never let Wufei live it down that he couldn't concentrate because he was too busy thinking about Heero. Never...
Not in a million years...so Duo would just not get to know. That would work. Wufei grabbed Heero's hand and pulled him into a run. That would definitely work.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
Duo watched as Wufei pulled Heero down the path towards where the food was. Duo sighed, so much for his day with just Heero. This was supposed to be a day that Heero and Duo spent time together, best friends only, kinda thing. But no, Wufei has to come and ruin it all again. It was bad enough that Heero had been so obviously interested in Wufei when he had a crush on Heero but now this was just too much.
Duo sighed and started to head towards the car. Heero could go home with Wufei when they finally realized that they were alone. Duo on the other hand wasn't going to stay here and watch them do whatever it was that they planned on doing.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" Heero asked, grabbing onto Duo's braid. "Aren't you hungry? If you don't want a hotdog I can get you something else." Heero paused. "I'll share a plate of nachos with you if you want."
Duo blinked as he realized Heero was in front of him and Wufei was no where in sight. "Where's Wufei?"
"Sent him ahead." Heero said with a shrug. "He won't be here long, he has to go back to work. Then we can go and see if we can talk someone else into playing basketball or something. We could even go somewhere else if that's what you want." Heero looked at Duo again. "So, where were you going?"
"Home." Duo admitted. "I figured you and Wufei would want to do something together. It's not a big deal."
"I said I'd spend the day with you Duo." Heero said, frowning. "I'm not going to change that just because Wufei is here. You're still my best friend. Wufei's my boyfriend now. That doesn't mean that I have to spend time with him just because he's here."
"You'd better watch out." Duo said with a grin as he looked up at Heero. "You're going to make him think that you and me are doing something if you don't pay attention to him when he's here."
Heero rolled his eyes. "Coming?"
"Only if you were serious about the nachos."
"I was."
"Good." Duo and Heero began to walk down the path to where Wufei was probably waiting for them. "Then I will come with you love birds." This was how it should be, Duo thought, me and Heero. Best friends without a care in the world. "Someone's gotta make sure that you don't start making out in front of all the little kids."
"Very funny Duo." Heero said with a growl. "You're usually the one breaking that rule, aren't you?"
Duo stuck his tongue out at Heero. "So? You're always there to make me stop. You're like my own personal mother when Quatre's not around."
"I'm not as bad as Quatre." Heero said, glaring at Duo.
"Almost."
"No where near."
"Alright, but that's only because Quatre's that bad!" Duo proclaimed and ran ahead, turning around to grin at Heero again.
Heero jogged to catch up with Duo and then he grabbed Duo and pulled him over, which threw both of them into the wall, Duo pressed up against Heero, Heero against the wall.
"Hey! What are you doing? This is beyond friendly contact, man." Duo said with a cheeky grin, trying to ignore their closeness.
"You almost ran into someone." Heero said. "Get off!"
"Yes sir." Duo said and removed himself from against Heero and looked around. "Better hope Wufei didn't see that. He might think that you were putting the moves on me."
"Would you stop it." Heero said firmly. "You don't have to put the act on me." Heero grabbed Duo's braid. "When Wufei's gone, we're going to talk."
"About what?" Duo asked, frightened all of a sudden.
"There you two are." Wufei said, suddenly appearing and scaring Duo slightly. "Come on, I found a table and some kid is watching it for us for a buck." Wufei motioned the way.
Duo nodded and followed the two other pilots as they went to the table. What on earth did Heero want to talk to him about?

{1-YEAH! Heero in no underwear drools}
