Was tust du
Was fühlst du
Was bist du
doch nur ein
Tier

Duo and Wufei arrived at Quatre's mansion, both somewhat casually dressed - Duo in a black t-shirt and jeans, and Wufei in a Chinese pantsuit, which seemed more suitable for winter than summer. The suit, itself, was black with long sleeves and high collar to high the bruises and to hide possible blood. His black hair was also down, to help hide what the collar could not.
As the entered the foyer, Duo gaped in surprise at the size.
"I'll never get used to the size of this place!" he exclaimed.
Wufei, who was lagging behind, his dark eyes transfixed on the paintings that adorned the walls, nodded in silent agreement. The butler led them to a doorway, motioning for them to go through.
"C'mon, Wufers. Don't wanna keep Quat waiting," Duo said good-naturedly.
"Sorry," the Asian murmumed.
Duo smiled as he grabbed Wufei's slim hand and pulled him the rest of the way.

Before stepping into view of the other three, Duo spun around, causing Wufei to nearly collide into him.
"I meant what I said this morning. I do love you, no matter what," he said quietly, brushing away a strand of hair from Wufei's face, his finger lingering before trailing down the bronze cheek.
Wufei gave a small, forced smile. "I know you do."
Duo smiled then kissed him softly on the lips, then spun around and let out a loud Duo-like yawp as he approached the other three. As expected, Quatre rushed up to the braided boy and enclosed him in a tight bear-hug for a few moments before turning onto the Chinese teen. Quatre smiled and hug him as well, to which Wufei winced in pain. Unknown to Wufei, this action was seen by one other.

Once they had settled down onto lawn chairs, Duo engaged himself in endless chatter with Quatre and the silent Trowa. Wufei looked distractedly over the garden, not even paying attention to the greenery and flowers he was looking in the direction at. Heero was lying beside the pool, working on his tan, his eyes closed but his mind, however, was working clockwork. His throughts transfixed on Duo and Wufei.

Once the heat got to the talking duo, Duo jumped into the pool while Quatre sat at the end, his legs dangling into the water. They both resumed their talking while Trowa had disappeared inside. Heero used Duo's absense as a diversion to talk to the other Asian teen. He sat up, slipping on a t-shirt, and walked over to the distracted boy. When he tapped Wufei on the shoulder, the Chinese boy tensed and Heero's indifferent Prussian blue eyes met fearful black.
"I want to talk," the Japanese boy stated bluntly.
Wufei looked over towards Duo, then nodded reluctantly.

***

It felt so good to be back with the others - catching up on news straight from the horses mouth was something that I missed. Quatre told me of his life so far, which included juicy details about his and Trowa's sex life. That made Trowa go red with embarrassment, then he abruptly left to 'over-see lunch'. I laughed. Their relationship contrasted mine and Wufei's a lot, but I can't be bothered comparing. When Quatre asked me about Wufei and myself, I told him lies. I mean, what could I possible say? Wufei was mine to do as I pleased and I loved him, but Quatre wouldn't understand. No one could. I think he saw through my lies, but he dismissed it without probing further.
'Nosy little bastard.'
As of late, I'd been nitpicking everyone - Quatre was too cheerful for his own good, Trowa too damn quiet, Wufei was disobedient at times but he know how I worked, and Heero. I sighed. He was too fucking perfect. But I had one thing that he wants but can't have. Ever. Wufei. I smile mockingly.

After I grew bored with Quartre's idle chatter I asked if I could go for a swim, seeing as it was just too damn hot to be talking by the poolside, when I could be in the pool, doing the same thing. Jumping into this chlorine-filled water was like pushing the refresh button - out with the old and in with the new. I guess that's what happened to my life when I got with Wufei - new Duo in, old Duo o-
'argh! I have to stop saying that!'
Here, ladles and germs, is what my mind is like - all fucked up. Anyways, I'm all calm now and finally enjoying myself. That is until I look up in Wufei's direction. Instead of finding him all alone as, I expected, Mr Perfect is over there, talking to him. I watch them from the pool, my eyes narrowed and maniac thoughts racing through my head. I barely control my anger and bitterness. I tried so damn hard to keep Yuy away from him. I'll have to try harder.
'Yes,' I smile sardonically, 'again tonight.'

As plans for tonight race through my head, I push myself up from the poolside and bring one knee up to help. The water comes up with me before losing to the law of gravity and splashes back down onto the titles or into the water. That's what I'm like - happy-go-lucky to start but am soon pushed back down by my sardonic and sadistic attitude. I happened to have glanced in Wufei's direction at the same time that he looked my way. Heero had disappeared somewhere. Trepidation clearly shows on his face and I glare at him, taking pleasure in his facial changes. His face pleads for the negative but my malicious grin is the final answer. He knows that as he slumps over in his seat, beaten, his eyes covered by his hand. From where I'm standing, I see the sun dance in little sparkles that seem to be falling from that eye-hiding hand.
'He's...
As I realise that he's crying, my heart shatters into a thousand pieces, that disgusting grin faded. Shoving aside my demons, I race over to his side, and pull him into a tight, effectionate hug. At first he is tense, but then he relaxes, hiding his face into my shoulder. Once the tears are gone, he pulls his face away and rests his head in the crook of my neck. He knows I wont hurt him here and maybe, just maybe I'll do nothing tonight.

I hear Quatre's voice from inside, indicating that they are coming back outside. I look down at the lithe, broken form in my arms. Wufei's attention is drawn into oblivious but snaps back to the present as I brush aside his hair and kiss him on the forehead. His questioning eyes look up at me.
"Why do you do this?" he asks.
I barely heard him as he said it so quietly. He has asked a taboo question - a question that will only receive partial truth. How would he react if I said I was breaking him because: a) he is mine, b) it's the way I am, c) it's for his own good and d)...

"Because I love you."
