Notes: *thoughts* Yes I know, all you get for those two will be hints of a lime, erm... We can't write them together... It just... Not unless they have company. Well, you'll just have to wait until the next chapter huh?

Begin part Thirty

"He wasn't angry with me. Neither of them were. Wufei started shooting once he saw you." It was true though. Wufei only really went ballistic once he saw Trowa. Heero was taking some sort of sadistic glee in pointing this out, and Trowa was sure of it.

Zechs pushed himself off the wall. "Next time, one of you goes to get Duo."

Trowa just sighed. "I had to tackle him though..." His voice trailed off and he took a step nearer to Heero.

"Why were you just hovering in the door? If you'd just been in or out I don't think he would have tried to shoot anyone..." Heero sighed, then turned his head to blink at Zechs' sudden words. "Uh, Trowa?"

"I was hovering, because Wufei had a gun, and wasn't acting like he knew who we were!" Trowa snapped and suddenly grabbed Heero in a hug.

"He didn't. Now turn around and look at what Duo did to Zechs." Heero returned the hug though, even as he was speaking.

Zechs, after his initial calm statement, was looking into the room where Duo was, being damn careful not to be standing up straight when Duo saw him until he was sure that the other was not angry any longer. Trowa did as Heero instructed, but didn't release the chocolate haired teen from his arms. "What the fuck?" His eyes widened as he took in the scratches and bruises, then narrowed.

"Duo told Wufei not to follow him when he left the room... It might have been a warning..." Heero let Trowa cling to him, not up to commenting on that.

Duo turned his head to look at the door, seeing Zechs there. Then he saw how Zechs was acting. He had to fix that... "Zechs, c'mere."

"Shit... What the hell is going on with those two?" Trowa spoke the last part mostly to himself, stunned but the sheer volume of damage.

"Wufei didn't want anyone there. Duo was talking about trust. I think Wufei might have said something I didn't hear because he just... Exploded." Heero took a deep breath, resting his chin on Trowa's shoulder.

Zechs eyed Duo but rose to his feet and moved into the room, kneeling back down beside the striped boy. "Yes?"

"Hmmm..." Trowa pondered that for a moment. "Hey... Where's Quatre?"

Duo reached out, wrapping an arm around Zechs and ignoring the wince from Zechs and the awkwardness of doing so with Wufei's head in his lap. "I'm sorry."

Heero looked for a moment. "I didn't see him. Maybe he went into another room?"

"Let's go look for him?" Trowa hadn't seen Quatre since he told him to hit the deck and was understandably worried. Heero nodded slightly. Trowa led Heero down the hall and, not seeing Quatre immediately in the kitchen or the living room, called for him. Heero followed after, mostly concerned over the trio of messed up pilots in the bedroom they had just left in the other room. He didn't say anything further about it to the quiet boy he was following. He knew that Trowa hadn't ever gotten along with Duo and this just made it worse.

"I'm outside!" Quatre called from... Outside. He was making it far easier to find them.

Trowa came out to find Quatre sitting in the grass, in the dark of the moon. He sat down beside him. "You okay?" He was nervous, wondering why Quatre was outside. Heero followed after Trowa, concerned, but unsure just how to go about it. So he hovered.

"Sit." Quatre commanded as he caught sight of Heero and pointed to his other side on the grass. Heero settled into the grass before he had a second to even think about it, his hands firmly planted around his drawn up knees. That was starting to become his favorite way to sit... Quatre patted his knee and smiled. He almost wanted to say 'Good boy' but thought better of it. He just wanted to let Heero know he was pleased.

Heero looked at Quatre, then sighed. "That went a completely different direction than I anticipated."

Trowa let out a loud sigh. "What exactly happened?"

"Duo at first thought I was upset with him. I told him I wasn't. I then mentioned that we missed having them around. No problems. I made a... bad joke, and I got a hug for it. He even laughed. Through all this Wufei just laid there. Duo turned around, started to talk to Wufei in tones I couldn't understand, and when I tried to get up and leave, Duo pinned me in place with his foot. Still, nothing to cause his reaction. Duo dragged me to lie down then he started talking loudly enough for me to hear him, it was about trust. I asked if they were ever going to be with us after sitting up and moving to the edge of the bed. I shouldn't have, because I didn't hear what Wufei said. Whatever it was made Duo extremely upset. Duo said something about the fact that he wanted it, and ran out the door after telling Wufei to stay there. Wufei then went mildly into a catatonic state. He remained that way until I touched his shoulder. Then he went slightly crazy, gun flailing. Once he saw Trowa, after repeatedly demanding I bring back Duo, he started shooting. Trowa knocked him out, Duo was back. The two faced off, then we left the room. We saw Zechs who looked like he was in pain with all those bruises and cuts, then came to look for you." Heero furrowed his brows. "Quatre I mean." It was the most either of the other two had ever heard Heero say at once. He barely took a breath in all of it.

Trowa blinked at Heero. "You made a joke?" That part just stuck with him, added tot he long winded speech...

Heero blushed. "I said that the blue suited Duo."

Trowa's lips quirked and he let out a little laugh. Quatre threw back his head and laughed deep, slapping Heero on the back as he did so. "You're right! That's a horrible joke!" Heero blushed harder; embarrassed that was what they chose to focus on. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." Quatre calmed down and gave Heero a small hug as his laughter tapered off.

Heero blinked at Quatre, but his blush didn't go away. "It's alright... There's a reason I don't make jokes..." Heero's lips twitched. "Duo had the exact same reaction, that's why he hugged me."

"Let's lay down." Quatre rested his hand on Heero's back. Heero gave Quatre an odd look then shrugged, laying back. "Ah. That's better." Quatre moved his hand until it was behind Heero's shoulders as a makeshift pillow.

Heero simply gave him a strange look. He had to ask now. "Explain."

"Explain what?" Quatre was baffled.

"Why's it better that I'm laying down?" He still sounded confused.

"I was talking about for me. It's just better to rest for a while on the grass." Quatre lay down, realizing that was the confusion. He blushed slightly as he realized he spoke from Heero's comfort.

Heero's confusion lifted. "I see."

"I didn't want to go in the house just yet either." Quatre admitted this bit with a sheepish smile.

"I think everyone is calmed down, and Wufei well... He's unconscious." Heero's lips twitched.

"I know." Quatre replied, then shivered.

Duo finally released Zechs, smiling slightly and picking Wufei up from the ground to settle him into the bed. He needed to find out what all the shooting was about still. He pulled on boxers, then grabbed Zechs' hand, leading him outside. He was significantly calmer after having his apology accepted.

Quatre sighed softly and reached up, playing with Heero's hair a little. Heero closed his eyes, just letting himself relax for a few moments.

Duo finally stepped outside, and released Zechs' hand as he looked away from everyone, head tilted down. "Would you guys mind too much if I were to join you?"

Quatre smiled warmly and increased the pressure giving Heero a little mini-massage. "Wufei asleep?" Quatre's eyes narrowed slightly. Zechs looked as Duo with a slight smile then moved out near the others, settling himself on the grass near where Heero was lounging.

"Not precisely, but it was clear he wasn't waking anytime soon. Besides, I'll be listening for him. Earlier... He just upset me." Duo still didn't look at the others. He felt guilty for ruining their good afternoon.

"As long as you are there when he wakes up." Quatre re-relaxed and continued to play with Heero's hair.

Duo nodded slightly but didn't move, studying the trees outside their clearing as though fascinated. "Of course. What else could I possibly do?" Quatre shrugged, choosing not to continue that topic at the moment. It was in the past now. "He doesn't want to be part of the group anymore. Doesn't want me to be..." Duo ducked his head further, now studying the ground.

Quatre sat up, frustrated. "What are you talking about Duo?"

"When Heero asked if we'd ever be with you guys again... Wufei said no. He said he wouldn't trust you... He wasn't even sure he trusted me..." Duo moved his fingers to his arm, clasping it tightly in his other fist.

Quatre sighed. "Duo. Try not to worry too much. Wufei... Isn't himself. I don't think he's thinking clearly at the moment."

"He meant it." Duo then rolled his shoulders back and grinned. He was being unkind. "Sorry about freaking on you in there Trowa, I'm just kinda protective."

"I noticed." Trowa's voice bordered on dry as he replied.

Duo nodded and moved closer, timidly. He already had Zechs' forgiveness, be he still wasn't sure it was right of him to hope they wouldn't mind him being there. Heero cracked an eye open and saw Duo's indecision. "Baka! Hurry up and sit already."

"Yes. Duo, please sit." Quatre smiled again, the light from the house was casting a soft glow on everyone. They were just a ways off from the steps of the small cottage.

Duo took a deep breath and moved forward, settling on the ground next to Zechs, just above Heero and Quatre's heads. "I really am sorry..."

"It's alright." Quatre soothed. He reached up with a free hand and patted Duo's knee for a moment before rolling onto his side and grabbing Heero about the shoulders to kiss him on the cheek before rolling back.

Heero turned his cracked open eye on Quatre but didn't say anything immediately. When he did a few minutes later, it was after scooting up to use Duo as a pillow, while Zechs used him as one, having decided he didn't like sitting. "You know, you guys might get me too used to all this..."

"Good." Quatre replied, and seeing that Heero had been taken away from him, he went to sit over in Trowa's lap since he was looking a little lonely.

"That isn't good..." Heero looked at Quatre reproachfully for that, then extended a hand to the pair. He didn't care; he liked having people touching him, even if he wasn't supposed to ever get attached to anyone.

Trowa wanted to go sit by Heero and snuggle with him and the others, but Quatre had already wrapped his arms about his waist, so he was effectively trapped. He thought about throwing Quatre off, but changed his mind. He was glad the little blond was no longer mad at him and wanted to be friendly. *Perhaps...* Trowa shook his head to get rid of that thought, that's what got him in trouble in the first place.

Heero gave a little huff then tangled the hand in the silvery mane on his belly. "You coulda just come over here Trowa."

Duo looked down at Heero with a bit of amusement, his loose hair curtaining him. It was long enough to, pooling on the ground around him. "Is this recent?"

"Not at the moment, Heero." Trowa tried to guide Quatre in that direction, but Quatre's squirming wasn't going to allow it to happen.

"I think it's my fault, not bad though. You knew Heero was ticklish already. These two didn't and I found it." Zechs waved beyond his head at the other two.

"Oh, so they found out the secret." Duo sounded matter of fact, and he pet his hands into Heero's hair while he was talking. He was a lot more touchy feely than he used to be.

Quatre giggled and turned his back on the others so he could loop his legs around Trowa's waist. He was enjoying himself. He wanted to be close to Heero to... but something about sitting with Trowa was fun.

Heero looked over to Quatre. "Silly blond."

Zechs turned his head. "I'm a blonde too!"

"Yes, and?" Heero looked down to Zechs and gave his hair a tug, his lips twitching with mirth.

"If you don't stop your squirming I'm going to knock you over." Trowa mock threatened.

Duo laughed quietly as he heard the conversations. It suddenly made it clear that he hadn't since the two returned. They hadn't heard that husky chuckle in nearly a month until just that moment.

"Ouch, Damn it Quatre, stop squirming!"

A smile curved Duo's face and he leaned over, giving Quatre a tap on his lower back. "Careful he might toss you like a pony."

"Ooh. I hope so." Quatre wiggled again and laughed as he did so.

Duo shook his head with another low laugh, then yelped as his other wrist suddenly had teeth inserted, before he drew it to his chest. "Heero! Did you just bite me??"

Trowa eyes narrowed and he scowled at the blond on his lap. He suddenly pushed him over and laid himself on top of him, giving him a kiss in return for the flirting. Quatre snickered and twined his arms over Trowa's neck and enthusiastically began to kiss him back.

Duo's wide eyes turned on the other two. "The Hel!"

Trowa pulled away and propped himself up on his hands and looked at Quatre's face. Quatre was breathing hard, but just smiled and mouthed 'I'm ready.'

Duo looked down to the smirking Heero, then over at the two who were rolling around on the grass. Then at last he looked at the blonde who was trying to glare at Heero while looking at Duo. It wasn't working. "You said this is your fault? Well, kiss an make it better." Still disbelieving. "Heero bit me!"

Trowa smiled in return, but whispered "Are you sure?" Quatre nodded. He had completely tuned the others out now. Trowa smiled back then picked Quatre up, throwing him over his shoulder and grinning at the others. "We'll be back later." He then sprinted back into the house.

They all blinked at the pair as Trowa said that, but then Zechs gave Duo a grin and grabbed his wrist, giving it a big kiss. Duo's eyes widened as Zechs kissed all over the slightly red bite mark, but when he started to lick, Duo snatched his hand back. "Then you licked me!"

"So I did. You didn't seem too objectionable." Zechs laughed at the shocked expression on Duo's blushing face. "You should leave your hair down more often."

Heero was ignoring them both, his fingers playing in the silky strands around his face as though mesmerized, and he wasn't even being told to stop it! He loved long hair, but Duo had never left his down long enough for his fingers to feel it. Not to say he hadn't tried, but Duo had never noticed that he had. Duo was just too sneaky about his hair before this for Heero to get the chance.

Duo's eyes were drooping closed with a small purr before he registered why. "Oh, Heero... You might, you might wanna stop that..." Duo cleared his throat, sweeping the mass back behind his shoulder as he took a deep breath, trying to calm his suddenly happy body down as Heero stared at him in disappointment.

Zechs sat up, then turned around, running a lock of Duo's hair through his fingers consideringly, only to watch Duo shiver. "I see. Erm, Heero, he kinda doesn't need to get worked up like that at the moment."

Heero finally turned his attention to Zechs and blinked. Now both of them were sitting over him. "Could you explain?"

Duo cleared his throat again, noticing his erection wasn't going to go away, he settled for ignoring it. "I can kinda ah, feel it more than I should be able to... Could you move?"

Heero sat up, and Duo immediately rose to his feet, a rosy flush on his cheeks. "I didn't hurt it did I?" Heero followed Duo to his feet, getting a peek at the part of Duo that was happy on his way up while Duo tried to keep it confined.

Duo shook his head, hard, setting his hair to dancing around his body, nearly to his knees. "No, didn't hurt!"

Zechs laughed a bit, getting to his feet as well. He then rested a hand on each of their backs and pushed a little, ever so glad he was settling into his own skin. "Let's go inside." Heero nodded, peeking sideways at Duo before proceeding the other two into the house.

Zechs followed Duo into the house, and he immediately went to the refrigerator. Peering at Duo and Heero out of the corner of his eye, he then followed after them into the living room. Duo settled onto the sofa, immediately sprawled over the surface happily, only to have the two blue eyed teens stare at him, one with sodas in his hands. "What?"

Heero just snorted and picked up Duo's upper portion, then settled into the cushion under his head. "Baka." Zechs handed Heero a soda and offered one to Duo, who took it, before doing the same on Duo's other end, settling the dainty feet in his lap.

Duo huffed and scooted around before he opened his soda, taking a drink before setting it on the table just within reach. "I'm not that bad!"

"You are!" Heero also opened his soda, drinking part of it, but not putting it down.

The door down the hall slammed open a minute later and a very naked Quatre, his body red with a flush and his cheeks tinged with red, walked down the hall. He had a grin on his face so big one would have thought he was drunk, and he walked into the living room. "I..." He paused dramatically. "Have just lost my virginity!" He beamed and then turned to the kitchen grabbed some cookies before he went back the way he came.

Zechs merely sat his soda aside, followed quickly by Heero as the three of them stared after Quatre in shock. Duo, ever the horrible joker, was the first to comment. "Well, lets see, I'd say that took him ten minutes. So much for foreplay."

Heero turned pink, looking down at Duo in his lap. "I just realized this. Zechs, did Trowa ever explain to you what you asked him?"

Zechs shook his head. "Nuh uh. Quatre appears to have gotten a demonstration though..."

"When were you all talking about sex??" Duo looked from one to the other, wondering how he could have missed that.

"You were busy." Heero just started petting Duo's hair again; too fascinated to care about how turned on he got the poor boy.

Trowa came out of the room a moment later, shutting the door behind him, he was only wearing a pair of black jeans and was looking very pleased with himself. He sauntered into the kitchen then pulled out a beer before he began to drink while leaning against the counter. He was smiling softly to himself, and feeling better than he had all week.

Two head turned, Heero and Zechs, to watch the procession, Duo being too distracted between Heero's hands in his hair, and Zechs' skilled hands, which had started to massage his feet.

Trowa blinked and focused on the blue eyes watching him. "Yes?" He asked, as calm as ever, a little smile still on his face.

Heero smirked slightly. "Will you be able to sleep?"

Trowa smirked back. "I'll sleep better if you join me." He didn't miss a beat.

"I'm sure." Heero peeked to his lap and the smirk grew. He lifted one hand to gesture Trowa over. Duo looked like a more than happy puddle and he thought Trowa might like a look. He knew that Zechs was alternating his attention between the other half-naked members of the room.

Trowa's eyes half closed and he swayed over to Heero, giving him a little kiss in greeting, and pulling away and gave him a seductive look and a little eyebrow wiggle. Heero merely rolled his eyes, tilting his head down to look at Duo as he started to pet the strands under his hands again, drawing a soft whimper from the person he was petting. "Trying to get me in the sac too?" Heero sounded amused, and he looked out of the corner of his eye at Zechs, who was staring at Duo fully now, apparently mesmerized by the sounds coming out of him.

"I know Quatre would like to have you in the sac... That's what he sent me out here for." Trowa kept his voice low as he spoke. He stood up then and began to pet Heero's hair, happy that Heero was finally relaxing to the touches of others. "Why don't you come to bed?"

Heero turned his full attention to Trowa, his hands stilling and drawing a grumble from Duo, who'd finally ceased caring, and his wide eyes stared at Trowa. "What?"

"Won't you come to bed?" Trowa repeated the request, hopeful.

"But you were in it with Quatre." Heero sounded confused and it showed on his face.

"Not right now I'm not." Trowa looked down at Duo and Zechs for a moment. "Please?"

Zechs leaned over Duo, pulling the highly aroused pilot from off of Heero and turning him around, resting the violet eyed boys head in his own lap before resuming where Heero left off, though with more practiced hands. "Go, enjoy yourself. They won't push you too far."

Trowa's hand reached down to cup Heero's cheek and he squatted down to look him in the eye. Duo cracked his eyes open, forcing them to look at Trowa. "Damn straight. Heero, go, if they take anything you don't want taken, I'll beat the shit out of them. Kay?" Heero looked from Duo to Trowa as he heard that, uncertainty lurking in his eyes. Trowa smiled gently at him and smoothed his hand over Heero's cheek again.

Heero sighed softly and rose to his feet. "You promised me my gun."

"I did." Trowa smiled and got to his feet. "Get it and then join me in bed, okay?"

Heero nodded, ignoring the confused looks the two half-naked bishounen were giving him. "I have it on me." Where, could not be figured out from Trowa's viewpoint, but it was. "It's always with me."

"Follow me then." Trowa was glad he did not have to wait. He reached for Heero's hand to lead him down the hall. Heero let Trowa hold onto his hand this time, though he walked slowly, still uncertain about the entire idea, but following. "Relax Heero." Trowa gave his hand a little squeeze as he opened the door to their room.

Heero peered into the room, reaching back to flick the safety off his gun, and the sound was audible, though where he was keeping it was nowhere near as obvious. "I'm just... Nervous."

"Why are you nervous? I'm not going to shoot you. Quatre's not going to either." Trowa went to sit on the bed, sitting his glass down on the bedside table. Quatre's back was turned to them and he was partially under the covers, sleeping. "Oh. Shut the door behind you. And lock it. I don't want Duo coming in again."

"If you hadn't noticed, guns I fear significantly less." Heero shut and locked the door, drawing his gun and turning the weapon in his hands before, tucking it back away. Not time for it just yet. Trowa smiled and just threw back the covers to climb in behind Quatre; he looked over at Heero, smiling in invitation. Heero blushed then moved forward, crawling into the bed and settling against the covers beside the other two.

To be continued.
