"Bored?" Dorothy elegantly slipped into the chair beside Relena, her eyes looking at the other woman's polite smile.
Relena sipped her apple martini slowly. "Terribly."
Dorothy shot a distasteful look to where the group of former Gundam pilots were busy watching a car race. "Women think they are attractive. They would be disappointed if they knew how dull they can be."
Relena smirked. "You have to admit they are pretty easy on the eyes."
Placing a hand over her mouth to cover a yawn, Dorothy took the time to detail the men in front of her. They were sitting around a table, drinking beer and commenting on the race. They seemed so normal, so ordinary, so boring. "They've lost their charm."
The look Relena gave her clearly stated Dorothy must be crazy. "They might be boring when they get in this mood but you can't deny that the view is still very nice."
"They are missing something." Dorothy raised her chin up. Those brutish animals throwing chips at each other were nothing to admire.
"A Gundam, perhaps?" Relena was lost in thought.
Dorothy allowed herself to remember them as they were a few years ago. Young, naïve and courageous, fighting impossible battles in their mobile suits.
They both sighed at the same time.
"Wohoo! Crash!" yelled Duo.
"Pay up," said Quatre, extending his hand to Wufei.
"Stupid Malloy, couldn’t he have crashed in the next lap?" Wufei placed a crumpled bill on Quatre's hand.
Heero burped while Trowa stopped the waitress and ordered another round of beers.
Relena and Dorothy shared a look.
"I take it back," Relena said. "They've definitely lost something."
Dorothy took a sip of her mimosa. "Next time we can just stay home and reminisce together."
Relena raised her glass in a silent toast. "Boys will be boys," she whispered.
"A pity," said Dorothy raising her glass. "Such a pity…"

"This is your faullt!"
Duo glared. "How's this my fault?"
Wufei tried to move back a bit and out some distance between them but he only manage to trip on the toilet and fall down. The only thing that stopped him from actually falling into the toilet was Duo's quick reflexes.
"I can't hold you forever," Duo grunted. He had both hands on Wufei's shoulders, holding him up, knees bent to support their weights.
Placing a hand on the green wall, Wufei managed to stand up and regain his balance. Again, his face was just a few centimeters away from Duo's.
"A thank you would be nice," said Duo.
"Thank you!? Thank you!?" Wufei tried to gesture with his hands but there wasn't enough room for him to do it. Instead he just stumbled barely avoiding tripping with the toilet again. "It's thanks to you we are in this ridiculous position!"
Duo rolled his eyes. "Really, Wufei, It's not my fault you didn't lock the door. There's a lock for something."
"Sensible people don't walk into a stall if it's occupied," Wufei huffed.
"I was in a hurry," Duo explained. "I wasn't looking. Just be grateful you hadn't started yet."
Wufei raised an eyebrow. "Afraid to see me without my pants, Maxwell?"
Duo looked surprised for a moment but then a slow grin spread on his face and he leered, positively leered at Wufei. "Afraid isn't the word I would use, Chang."
Wufei gulped. He opened his mouth but before he could say anything a voice outside the stall said, "I suggest you pick a more private place to explore your fears." Trowa sounded way too amused. Bastard.
"Barton?" Wufei tried to use a dignified voice. "Barton, the door is jammed and we don't have room to try to get it opened."
"Uh huh," Trowa said. There were a few sounds outside and moments later the door was opened. Wufei had enough time to see Trowa smirk before he was temporarily blinded by a camera flash. When he regained his sight, Trowa was gone.
"This is your fault!" Wufei growled as he and Duo got out of the stall.
Duo stretched his arms over his head. "You wanna blame me or you wanna catch the bastard?"
Wufei smirked. "Let's go get him."

Pairing/Characters: Gen. Implied 1x2, 3x4. Trowa and Heero (Friendship)
Summary: Heero tells Trowa something.
Written forzerotwofan
___
Trowa put his beer bottle down and leaned back on his seat. The bar wasn't too crowded, but there were enough people to make the ambience lively. The music was old rock songs that almost everyone in the establishment knew by heart, their lips moving and forming the words. Trowa chuckled when he realized that he was doing the same thing.
"Be careful, Trowa, or those girls in the next table are going to think you are singing to them." There was a smirk hidden in Heero's voice.
"Maybe you should try it, then." Trowa picked up his bottle again and took a swig. "You could use some company."
The slight tint of color in the top of Heero's cheeks was the most Trowa had ever seen him blush. Trowa didn't ask, instead he just kept looking at Heero, waiting.
"I have company," Heero finally said. The smirk, now visible in Heero's expression, told Trowa that he hadn't done a good job at hiding his surprise. "Duo," Heero explained, and Trowa almost dropped his beer bottle.
"How long?" They were all friends. The five of them worked together, went out together and practically spent most of their free time with each other. Why hadn't he noticed before?
"Just one week." Heero took a long swig of his beer.
One week wasn't that long but Trowa still thought that he should have noticed something. Suddenly, he started to remember little things that somehow had seemed out of place but that he hadn't paid much attention to back then. Heero watching Duo from the corner of his eye every time he walked by; Duo, keeping his fingers on Heero's elbow longer than usual; the slight, almost imperceptible glare Heero had aimed at Wufei when he and Duo were teasing each other for one thing or another… and Quatre's knowing smile.
Trowa narrowed his eyes. "He knew!"
Heero grinned. "It's impossible to hide things from Quatre."
"I told you when Quatre and I got together." The reproach seemed a little juvenile but Trowa didn't care. He blamed it on the beer.
"Catching you making out in the men's room isn't the same as telling me."
Trowa waved a hand in dismissal. He finished his beer, put it on the table and gave Heero a genuine smile. "Congratulations."
Heero smiled back and nodded in acknowledgement.
"Remember what you told me when Cat and I got together?" Trowa asked, the smile still in place.
"That I would kick your ass if you screwed up." Heero finished his beer too.
Trowa gestured at the waitress to bring another round before turning back to Heero and saying in a low voice, "Remember that."
When the beers arrived, Heero raised his bottle in a silent toast. Trowa followed, took a long swig and leaned back on his chair. "So, who bottoms?"
Trowa knew he would pay for that later, but watching Heero sputter beer through his nose, was definitely worth it.

It was a cold night. It was raining heavily and now and then they could hear a thunder trembling the sky.
"Earth is too unpredictable," Quatre said, buttoning up his white silk shirt.
"I thought you liked that." Trowa moved towards Quatre, put his fingers over Quatre and undid the top two buttons of Quatre's shirt. He took a step back to get a better look. "Perfect."
Taking out a belt from the closet, Quatre said, "I never said I didn't." He put on the belt over his jeans, letting the pants fall loosely on his hips. "Surprises give life flavor."
Trowa licked his lips. He moved closer to Quatre so he could see both their reflections on the mirror. Trowa's deep green shirt looked good against Quatre's white one. Quatre moved his hands up and pulled Trowa into a long kiss.
"We'll be late," Trowa said, breaking the kiss but not pulling away.
"They can wait." Quatre kissed him again, this time more deeply.
Trowa looped his arms around Quatre's waist and pulled him closer. It was raining anyway, they might as well wait a bit. Everyone would understand, after all, it wasn't as if they controlled the rain…
They just took advantage of it.

On to the praise! I loved all of them - even the gen, which is unusual for me because I am a hopeless romantic. I have a hard time disliking Relena in fanfiction because I never really thought ill of her, so it's nice to see her in a normal light. It only bugs me if she gets in the way of Heero and Duo bliss :).
I have a soft spot for 2x5 also, so the second fic was a real treat. Wufei's reactions were wonderful and Duo's natural mischief was nice to see. Trowa's little stunt was great - it brought extra life to the fic without being unrealistic.
I have to say that the third was my favorite. Not only did it have all my favorite pairings, but it also have lots of great conversation and interaction. I love how you describe the facial expressions and hand signals - lots of times authors will forget that a dialog is not only the spoken word. Trowa, to agree with a previous reader is refreshing as a smart-ass. I was going to give you a list of all the quotes I liked, but then I realized that I was basically copying the entire fic!
And the fourth. Guh. I have trouble pairing Trowa or Quatre with anyone but each other just because they fit so well together that it is hard to imagine them with anyone else. The ending of this one was especially sweet and clever. So, wonderful work throughout. I'm so happy I friended you and I can now get updates on all of your great stuff! Thank you for writing.

Date: 2006-03-26 08:43 pm (UTC)I like Relena a lot. I think she's a great character, and you will never see Relena bashing in my fics. I don't believe in bashing any of the characters.
The second was the first time I wrote Wufei and Duo like that. I'm glad it worked. And Trowa just demanded to be part of the ficlet. He's such a smartass when he wants to.
Writing Heero and Trowa friendship was a lot of fun. I think they understand each other very well and are very close because of it. I try to keep the dialogue real, and include all those little gestures.
You are right. Trowa and Quatre fit so very well together. They have been trying to go OTP on me but I won't let them *determined nod*
I'm glad I got to know you too. You are very sweet and I love meeting new people. *hugs*
