Chapter 12: Sleeping Beauty

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ;>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>& gt;

Surprisingly, the club wasn't that crowded, but people that were there, were dancing everywhere when we arrived. It was like someone motivated them all to get up and dance on a Sunday night. I looked over at Duo, but it seemed he was shocked as well. I smirked at his wide eyed, gaping look. No one was at the bar that I could see. Well no customers, but two men looking at us with concerned, questioning eyes. The minute we got over to the bar, Quatre attacked us.

"What have you two been doing? You're the ones who were late this time and we had to open the club up ourselves. So what is your excuse?" He looked from Duo to me and gave us both a once over. His eyes widened and his gaze passed back and forth between Duo and myself. His eyebrows shot up when he looked at the pants we were both wearing. "Did you both decide to wear tight pants tonight for some reason that I'm not aware of?" He questioned suspiciously.

"Yeah Q. We did. I picked out Heero's outfit and he picked out mine that is what took us so long. I also met Heero's friend Wufei who came over to see him. We had a nice chat." I kept my expression neutral. Duo hadn't mentioned his break down or the fact that he slept through most of the visit I had with Wufei, but that didn't matter. Duo didn't tell Quatre about the other horrors of his past and I wasn't about to break my promise to him.

"Well I approve of the outfits, although I am surprised to see you both wearing such tight clothes. You better keep a look out that either one of you doesn't have a pack of ravenous wolves on your butt by the end of the night." Quatre warned. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not, so I took his words to heart.

"Don't worry Q. My Hee-chan will protect me from those dogs and I'll come to his rescue when he gets hounded." Duo grinned and hugged my arm to his chest.

"If they do that. I'll just have to inform them that I'm taken." I smiled at him. Quatre's face got soft as he saw the exchange between us.

"Then I wish the two of you luck. You can both dance since we aren't busy right now. Hilde's even dancing with some guy who asked her to come out on the dance floor. You can go and have a blast. I'll call you back when we need you." I nodded to him then grabbed Duo's hand and led him to the dance floor.

We danced to a bunch of songs then sat down at the bar to talk to Quatre and Trowa, who still weren't that busy. Some people had a few wine coolers but other than that, it seemed the only thing the people wanted to do was dance, putting Duo back from his job. He wasn't that disappointed though since he could dance and talk with me more, and didn't have to worry about being hauled off by anyone.

Duo got up and excused himself to go to the bathroom soon after that. I asked him if he wanted me to go with him, but he said `no' so I let him go. I wondered to myself how he could act one-way one minute and completely different the next.

I expected him to want me to go pretty much everywhere with him. Considering the fact that a guy had molested him in there yesterday and had an emotional breakdown in my apartment when he saw Wufei. I just couldn't understand it.

I saw Quatre looking towards the doors Duo had just exited and the answer then became clear to me. Duo didn't want Quatre or Trowa to worry about him. They had each other but Duo didn't have anyone to love or confide in until he met me. He was hiding what he truly felt from his friends, but trusted me enough it seemed to be completely honest with me and show the emotions he hid so well from them. [1]

I suddenly saw a movement out of the corner of my eye and thinking it was Duo I turned towards it. What I saw wasn't even close to resembling Duo. I small yet very well built man sat next to me, his breath reeking of alcohol and other bad odors I couldn't even begin to explain coming off of him. He had short dark hair and bloodshot eyes, not even attractive by any counts. Slowly I backed away from him, but his voice stopped me.

"Hey handsome, wanna come dance with me? You look like a lot of fun. I could show you a really good time. What do ya say?" His speech was slurred but I knew what he said. I then felt a hand travel up my thigh caressing it roughly and trying to make its way to my groin. I then stood up and moved out of his range, allowing a slight smile to appear on my face to hide my disgust at the man that had just violated me.

"I'm sorry, but I already have a partner and am not interested in finding another one. I suggest you try someone who is already on the dance floor. Have a nice time." I then walked away from him before he could counter my closing statement and walked around behind the bar. Once there, I saw him get up and move over to the stage, asking the same question to another good-looking guy.

Quickly, I scanned the room, but still no sign of Duo. It worried and relieved me. Worried since I didn't know what was taking him so long and relieved that he didn't see that revolting man hitting on me.

I made myself a Shirley Temple and waited for Duo to get back. Trowa and Quatre went out on the dance floor after I assured them I would watch the bar and take people's orders. If I couldn't handle it, I would call them back. They were grateful even though a little reluctant to leave the bar, but once they got on the floor, they were having a blast. I couldn't help but watch them, fascinated since I had never seen either one of them dance. They moved in perfect harmony with the music and their bodies were pressed tightly together, moving in erotic patterns to the beat.

"Amazing aren't they?" A voice said in my ear, making me jump a little from my stool. I looked over my shoulder and there was Duo, who was sweating and had a light blush on his cheeks. "Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. Q and Tro can light the floor on fire as much as I can. I taught them almost everything I know. Almost because I can't give them all my secrets, or I'd be out of a job." He chuckled lightly.

"They are amazing, but what took you so long? I got worried that you might have fallen in." I teased. Duo cracked a grin at me then pointed down at his pants.

"I had a little trouble getting them back on once I got them down. It seems as though the fibers melded better to my skin better than I had hoped. I finally yanked them on, but anyone in there probably thought something else was going on from all the noise I was making."

I started to laugh at the image that formed in my mind. I could just see Duo with his pants down, trying to yank them up without the pants obeying him in any way. It was a funny thought indeed, but I had no desire to be stuck in that situation.

"So what did I miss besides the love birds going out to dance and you taking up refuge behind the bar?" He asked innocently.

"Not much. Just some drunk smelly guy trying to hit on me and asked me for a dance and a good time. I declined by the way. You should have smelled him Duo. The guy reeked. I swear someone could fall over dead because of his stench." Duo just stared at me a moment before bursting out in a fit of giggles. I chuckled lightly but what I told him was the truth. His giggles slowly subsided.

"I'm glad you did or you might have ended up stinking too. It seems like you will have to beat off the guys here off with sticks after all. Those pants really do reel them in. I don't think I'll have to ask you who the guy that hit on you is. I can probably just sniff him out."

"I would advise against that. Your sense of smell might be permanently damaged, or you might pass out or die from the nauseating smell he's giving off."

"Okay. I'll take your word for it. I rather keep my sense of smell, so I can smell you. Your scent is a bed of roses compared to his sludgy sewer one any way. So I'm better off." Duo then hugged me and we stayed like that for a few moments.

The rest of the night flew by. We danced to a few more songs, drank some soda, and before we knew it, it was time to lock up and leave.

I drove us back to my apartment since I figured Duo's pants must be really uncomfortable by now, and after what he told me about the bathroom incident. I was doing him a favor by not making him move too much.

We got into my apartment and all Duo wanted to do the moment I shut the door and locked it was get his pants off. I told him to use my bedroom which he gratefully did as I went to set my coffee pot for in the morning. I checked to see the contents of my refrigerator, deeming there to be enough food in there to last Duo and me half the week.

I was still waiting in the kitchen when I heard Duo yell for me. I went to my bedroom and knocked on the door. I heard Duo say `It's okay, come in' and entered to find Duo laying on the bed with his pants unzipped but that was it. It seemed as if his pants decided they didn't want to come off, and allow the sight he made was shocking and tempting, I had to bite back a laugh as he looked at me helplessly.

"I can't get them off Hee-chan. Would you mind pulling them off for me?" He asked hopefully.

"Are you sure?" Duo looked at me exasperated.

"Yes, I'm sure. I wouldn't ask you if I could get them off myself, and since I can't, will you help me?"

"Alright. Which is the best way I can get them off?" I asked, having not a clue as to remove the offending garments from his legs.

"Well since I tried to tug the waist down and that didn't work, try grabbing the ends of the pants by my ankles."

I did as he instructed and by tugging firmly yet gently one pant leg slowly started to come down. I worked on one then the other alternately until the pants were finally off and Duo was only in his boxers.

"So what do you want to wear for bed? I have t-shirts and boxers or a have some PJs that I've never really worn since I prefer to sleep in my boxers." I asked him. Duo just shook his head.

"That's okay Hee-chan, I can just wear my boxers tonight." He smiled.

"Duo its no big deal. I don't mind at all. Besides, you'll have to wear something of mine tomorrow after I leave for work, unless you're planning to wear your boxers all day." Duo got a thoughtful look on his face then looked up at me and sighed. He apparently was giving in to my generosity.

"Can I go take a shower and borrow a pair of your boxers?" I nodded and went over to one of my drawers and pulled out a pair of dark red boxers and handed it to him. "Thanks."

"The bathroom's right across the hall, take as much time as you need. There's a purple toothbrush in the medicine cabinet ready for you to use and the toothpaste is on the bottom shelf." He nodded then got up. I went back to my drawer and pulled out a pair of dark green boxers, then striped my clothes off except my boxers and got out a new one. I would take a shower after he got out or in the morning, I hadn't decided yet.

Five minutes later, Duo emerged clean and refreshed, but his hair apparently he decided not to wash tonight. Maybe in the morning he would, but not tonight. I quickly decided to shower tonight and went in and took my shower and brushed my teeth. I came back out and Duo was sitting patiently on my bed, waiting for me.

"You could've went to sleep you know."

"I wanted to wait for you, besides it's your bed. Which side do you sleep on?"

"Either one, it doesn't matter to me. We'll probably end up in the middle anyway." I went over and pulled back the covers as Duo got up and went on the other side of the bed I turned on my lamp and then turned off the overhead light. I slipped in and he followed as well.

When we were both in I reached over and shut up the lamp. Duo didn't move over to touch me, so I slowly reached over to him and caressed his shoulder lightly and that was all it took. I lay on my side and Duo moved until he was snuggled against my chest wrapping an arm around my waist.

I returned the favor and wrapped him securely in my arms, rubbing his back soothingly, coaxing him off to the land of dreams.

"…Love you Hee-chan." Duo mumbled to me then sighed contentedly.

"I love you too Duo. Sweet Dreams." I kissed his forehead and let my mind drift; with my sleeping beauty in my arms I could have peaceful dreams.

[1] I got a few reviews saying that I made Duo a little bit overly sensitive. I did make him that way for the purpose of making the fic more realistic even if it's AU and a fic and nothing more but a means of entertainment. Since I witnessed behavior in reality, I made Duo act the way he is right because of it, sadly. I know someone that had been raped and that person (since I will not give the name or gender of my friend) was traumatized by it, as anyone would be and even though that happened, he/she would go on and be outgoing for one minute. But then he/she would change in the next instant if he/she didn't know someone in the room and went ballistic at times. I just wanted to clarify my actions why personified Duo that way.
