Happy Valentine's Day to Everyone!
Wufei crouched in the death stance that was natural conclusion to the series of moves he had been taught by the Masters. On the ground, just underneath his elbow, Duo Maxwell panted with one eye closed and face screwed up awaiting the final blow. He'd finally done it and it was about to cost him his life.
A hand dropped on Wufei's shoulder and the former Chinese pilot looked up with a glare of death.
"C'mon, Wufei," the Prussian blue-eyed pilot, Heero Yuy said.
For a moment or two, Wufei stared back, breathing hard. His black hair was disheveled at loose around his shoulders and his body nearly pulsed with tightly controlled anger.
Heero looked back without fear. The expression on his face was one of near boredom.
"It wasn't that bad," he said.
Wufei swallowed, tensed to spring like a wild cat. A moment later, he uttered a string of what Duo took to be curses in rapid fire Chinese.
Duo, who had opened the other eye was concentrating on the elbow still poised to strike.
"That's not what he said or meant," Heero replied in English. Taking a step back, the Japanese pilot frowned. "He didn't say you drink or resembled a woman in any way. 'You go, girl,' was a figure of speech in the twentieth century on Earth. I'm going back inside and don't blame me when you find the sake gone," he added, heading back inside. "Besides, it's Valentine's Day, you should expect drivel."
The Chinese pilot raised his arm and swept back his dark hair. Looking down at the American, he shrugged and the paper heart attached to his chest dangled. "Sorry," he said.
Wide, violet eyes blinked as Duo relaxed. "No problem man," he said, taking the offered hand up by Wufei. "And you might want to save that until you open your Valentine."
Wufei shook his head to clear it. His mind was a little fuzzy from drinking all afternoon.Waiting for the long-haired pilot to stand, he moved next to him and leaned against Duo heavily. "Oh, yes," Wufei said, as they headed back inside. "Just how many more do I have to drink before I can open it? Is this really how it's done?"
Duo draped an arm around Wufei's shoulders. "It's what Heero said, and I wouldn't lie," he said, wide-eyed.
Wufei frowned. It took a few seconds, but he finally patted Duo on the chest. "That's right, your motto. Quite honorable," he said, as they staggered back to the cushions in the middle of the room.
Wufei sat down heavily and re-filled his glass. As he did so, Duo signalled Heero for a private conference.
"I thought you said the sake was like a million proof. He should be out by now. I need to switch those cards, before he really kills me," the braided pilot said.
"It *is* a million proof," Heero retorted. "It's just met the constitution of a million and a half proof. Look, just let it go, Duo. He's going to find out you like him sooner or later."
Duo scratched the back of his neck. Frankly, the sake was starting to get to him. "Maybe you're right," he said, "But I don't think that "Be My Honeybunny" is gonna go over well with the guy. Besides, you bought it, you get me outta of this."
Heero took a deep breath. "Oh alright," he said testily.
Walking over to where Wufei sat, he looked down at the Chinese pilot.
"Wufei, Duo loves you." he said, in one breath.
The Chinese pilot looked up at Heero, mouth agape. Finally, he snickered. Then, he laughed out loud, dissolving into a heap on the floor.
Heero looked back at Duo and shrugged.
Duo took a deep breath and walked back over to the cushions. Reaching for a bottle of sake, he poured himself a drink.
"Well, that wasn't so bad," he said, looking over at the cackling heap that was Wufei Chang.
"Re...Read your card," Wufei managed, as he pulled himself up onto a cushion.
Duo opened the red envelope and read the card inside.
"Be My Honeybunny," he read.
