Well, it's official... this is a holiday series now. I'm calling it the 'Cultural Enrichment Series' since so many people thought that phrase was really amusing :) This was supposed to be posted for either Valentine's Day or White Day *looks at calendar* but I just didn't make it. I guess the guys aren't the only ones to be late. Anyway, thanks to all of you who read and replied, making this become more than I'd intended. It's fun writing 1x2x5, especially in more than just a sexual relationship... and yeah, a little plot has shown up, so beware...
I sat on the couch, sulking. I would've been drinking if Wufei hadn't hidden all of my shot glasses. I just can't drink properly without them, and the Chinese bastard knew it too. Since Heero refused to tell me where our overbearing lover put them, I considered him just as guilty as Chang. It pissed me off to no end to know that I would've forgiven them both if they had only been here with me. I was still tempted to uncork the Champagne, but I didn't really have the heart to do it. I missed my Amorous-Asians, and drinking without them was a pretty poor substitute for being with them - especially today. Yeah, it was Valentine's Day, and I was alone. I kept telling myself that this wouldn't have been an unusual thing just over a month ago, but since I had two lovers to call my own now, the thoughts of being by myself on the most romantically important holiday was just... damn depressing.
I sighed heavily. I'd been looking forward to spending time with the two men that I'd recently come to love on one of the holidays I didn't have to avoid like the plague anymore. We had planned on a nice dinner, a long soak in the tub, and then hours of foreplay leading to incredible sex; if I wanted any kind of touch tonight, it would be by my own hand. I knew I was pouting about it, but we hadn't been together for very long, and I wanted to be with them. We still had problems communicating sometimes, but things were working out better than I'd ever imagined they would. Whenever we had a disagreement, no matter who was involved, we all would sit down and talk it out until the problem was solved - well, after the door slamming and yelling was over with, of course, but we were making progress. That progress made me want them in the worst way.
The trip to Earth had been great. After leaving Pennsylvania, we'd gone to Japan to celebrate the coming of spring. Heero and Wufei had insisted on understanding the cultural aspects of the holiday by going to the festival; I had just wanted to sleep. Being dragged out of bed by your lovers is not as good as being tumbled into bed by them, but in the end, I'd been amused by the traditions and had enjoyed the food and light-hearted atmosphere almost as much as I had with Phil and his followers. Then the night had come, and it was even better. Hot sake and private Japanese baths were the highlight of my celebration. Making love in steaming water was going to be a tradition for the three of us from now on if I have my way about it.
Unfortunately, the festivities were cut short. An emergency situation interrupted our mini-vacation, and Heero and Wufei were called back for a mission. We'd hopped a shuttle immediately after receiving the message at the hotel, and my two Preventer agents had left the port as soon as we'd arrived, leaving me with getting our luggage home, since they always kept an overnight bag at HQ and didn't need their suitcases from the trip. They'd been away on assignment for twelve days now, and I'd been moping like some love-crazed idiot. If I hadn't been so depressed, I would've been pissed at myself for it. As it was, I'd tried to keep busy at the yard to forget - not that it worked.
When Wufei had emailed me a couple days ago, telling me that they might make it back in time for Valentine's Day, I'd hurriedly purchased gifts for both of them - see, love-crazed idiot, am I. Needless to say, I hadn't been too happy this morning when Heero had emailed me, apologizing for the fact that they were being delayed and wouldn't make it home tonight. At that point, I'd seriously considered joining Preventers and demanding to be added to Heero and Wufei's team just so this wouldn't ever happen again. I'd even dialed Une's number until I'd thought better of doing something like that without talking to my lovers. Still, even though I didn't want to kill anymore, I could probably contribute without blowing stuff up or shooting people, and at least I'd be with them. That was worth it, right?
I looked dejectedly at the gifts I'd painstakingly wrapped for each of my Amorous-Asians. It had been kind of hard to choose presents for them since we were still learning personal likes and dislikes at this stage. Sure, we'd known each other for years, but being able to recite gun and ammo preferences did not help one pick out romantic gifts for his significant others. I bit my lip nervously as I thought about what I'd finally bought them. One of the things was something they could share - artisan memberships to the fine art institute downtown. My culturally minded lovers would be allowed admittance to exhibits, attendance at special events, and participation in workshops. I'd even gotten a membership for myself so we could all go together.
The separate gifts had been a little more challenging. I'd had to search the web to find most of it, and shipping had been a small fortune, but I was pretty satisfied. I'd found a rare book of poetry for Wufei that I knew he didn't have in his collection because I'd checked every damn book in the den. He'd mentioned the poet before, so I felt it was a fairly safe bet to get it. A compilation disc set of famous piano pieces was his other present since he liked to listen to classical music in the evenings before bed and when he was meditating. I found watching him do that to be very peaceful for me sometimes. For Heero, I'd managed to find an old medieval fantasy series that he'd told us about reading while still training to be a pilot. He'd hidden them from Doctor J, getting lost in tales of chivalry and sword fights instead of studying at times. Just thinking about him sneaking the books in his room at night made me smile. His other gift was a stir-fry set, complete with a wok, hand-painted serving bowls, spoons, and several pairs of nice chopsticks. He liked to cook for us, another hidden talent he possessed, and something I really appreciated.
I sighed heavily; I'd been looking forward to giving that stuff to them ever since I'd bought it. Now... it would be too late. I mean, sure, 'Ro and Fei would still get their gifts when they got home, but it just wouldn't be the same. It's like missing someone's birthday - belated cards and presents just don't make you feel as good when you've had to spend the day alone without them or the person giving them. As I looked at the brightly colored wrapped boxes on the coffee table, I suddenly decided to just go to bed. There wasn't any reason for me to stay up any longer. It was already eleven o'clock, and my two lovers weren't coming home tonight. Stalking into the bedroom, I pulled back the cold sheets, tugged off my worn jeans, and collapsed into our empty bed. Alone and miserable, I grabbed Heero and Wufei's pillows and inhaled their combined scents before closing my eyes. I must have fallen asleep for a few hours, because the next thing I was aware of was hearing voices in the room that shouldn't have been there.
"I don't think I like my pillow being used as a replacement," a familiar voice said softly in obvious amusement.
"Me neither," came a second one, no less familiar or humored.
The bed bounced, and then warmth seemed to settle on both sides of me, making me doubt my sanity. I was on my back, still clutching the pillows I'd slept with, when they were suddenly pulled out of my grasp. A lighter weight settled on my chest in their place, and when I opened my eyes, I was face to face with... a stuffed marmot? I sat up quickly, a bit startled then. My eyes flew to the right side of the bed, finding dark blue shining at me with warm mischief. When my gaze shifted to the left, dark kohl was laughing just as affectionately.
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked breathlessly as I picked up my furry attacker. A huge plushy smiled back at me with the hand-stitched words "You put Spring in my heart" across its tummy. Oh yeah... somebody needed to be smacked for such... lame cuteness. I petted the fluffy toy anyway, feeling embarrassed at doing it, but unable to keep from it. It was so soft, with brown eyes that melted me whether I wanted to admit it or not.
"We got done a little sooner than we anticipated," Wufei explained, smiling at my response. "We're technically late, but... Happy Valentine's Day."
Heero reached over and handed me a gift bag. "And Happy White Day too."
"White Day?" I asked, barely recalling the holiday. The Asian-Twosome had listed all of the special days we had yet to celebrate together, but I must have drunk too much sake and couldn't remember them all. "When was that?"
"Today," Heero replied with a smirk. "It's the day after Valentine's Day celebrated in Japan."
Wufei nodded with that scholarly look of his. "It is the day you are supposed to give chocolates."
I tore into the bag. Chocolate is one of my well-known weaknesses. Throwing tissue paper all over the bed, I found a box of truffle-filled milk chocolates. I leaned over and kissed Wufei soundly on the lips, and then gave Heero the same treatment. "Thanks, guys!" Yep, the way to my heart is through my stomach, but the fact that they knew that was what meant so much.
"There's something else in there," Heero said, almost seeming nervous as he pointed to the bag I'd abandoned in joyful anticipation of sweets. When I snatched the bag up again, he chuckled lightly, and Wufei rolled his eyes.
I grinned and reached inside, feeling around. On the bottom, I found a small velvet box that made my heart skip a beat. What had they done? I knew they hadn't bought rings or anything like that. I mean... we're guys, and even if we did want people to know we were taken, the jewelry would get in the way of our jobs since we all had to use our hands so much, especially me. Taking a deep breath, I lifted the lid up and just stared for a moment. Inside was a chain that looked like sterling silver with a charm that was part of a heart. I looked at them in awe. "It's beautiful."
Wufei smiled and reached under his shirt collar to pull out a matching necklace. "We had them made at a little shop on the colony where we were staying," he explained simply. "We wanted to surprise you with it to make up for not being here on a special day we all wanted to share."
I turned to see Heero fingering the metal around his neck, a soft look in his eyes. "It took a little longer to get the heart cut into three pieces, but the jeweler managed to do it just in time for us to leave." He paused and then added, "They weren't really expensive, but we wanted..." He looked at Wufei to help him express what he wanted to say.
"We wanted to have something to remind us all of what we have," Wufei finished for him, as he reached across me to brush Heero's bangs out of his eyes in a comforting gesture. It was still hard for both of them - hell, all three of us - to say the deeper feelings out loud sometimes. Wufei went on, "We know it's been hard for you with us gone."
I took a deep breath, the emotions colliding inside me. "Yeah, it has. I missed you," I said huskily as I looked at him, and then caught Heero's eyes, "Both of you... more than you'll ever know..." I suddenly felt like this was the perfect opportunity to talk about what I'd been contemplating earlier. "Which is why I'm thinking about joining Preventers and your team. I could be with you instead of wondering when you're coming home or missing out on spending time with you. Even if it were during 'work' at least we'd be together. What do you think about that? I mean... I know I'll need to train... and I'd have to defend myself during missions, but... "
They both stared at me like I'd gone crazy. Finally, Heero spoke. "Duo, you said you never wanted to fight again."
I waved his words away. 'I know I did, but it's not like being in a war. I could do something important without it being a bloodbath." I looked at them both pleadingly. "I know you guys have to follow rules now, so things are different than before. It would give me a chance to protect the peace without feeling guilty about it, you know?"
Wufei gave me a considering look. "Well Collins is being relocated due to getting married. His position will have to be filled in a couple months. Maybe we could... " He raised an eyebrow at Heero.
Heero sighed. "Yeah, we could use a new surveillance specialist," he replied wearily, glaring at me. "You wouldn't be in the line of fire, just giving us infiltration info, but you'd still have to pass all of the required Preventer tests, and you haven't been in action for quite a while. You would also have to use a gun if a mission went wrong."
I nodded. "I understand that guys. I've been thinking about it a lot today. I'm still undecided, but I wanted to ask you about it." I then grinned, wanting to end the discussion for now. "Besides, I don't think I've lost my touch."
Heero gave me a sly smile. "Oh, we know you haven't... at least in some things."
I laughed, knowing he wasn't talking about any kind of Gundam training. "Well, maybe I should demonstrate some of my skills." I winked at Wufei, who was shaking his head at my teasing, but obviously interested from his smirk. My mind then flashed to the presents in the living room. "Hey! Did you guys see your stuff on the coffee table?"
My Chinese lover kissed my cheek before continuing down my neck. "Yes, we did. Thank you for my book and CD's. You obviously know me better than I thought, and the memberships..."
"... Are going to be put to good use," Heero continued, nuzzling my ear in a way he knew drove me wild. "I can't wait to read my novels and use my cooking set. I really appreciate you getting them for me."
I sighed happily at the satisfaction of pleasing them in something other than bed. So my gifts were a day late... so what? I still felt good, and I was getting to spend time now with the men I love, which was what was important, right? I guess belated cards and gifts could mean a lot if they're from the right person. Wufei distracted me from my thoughts as he took my necklace out of the box and handed it to Heero. My Japanese lover put it around my neck, fastening it. I touched the cool silver, feeling the connection between us. Looking down at it, I noticed that my charm was engraved with the word 'love'. "What do your pieces say?" I asked throatily as I was once again being kissed and nuzzled.
Heero ran his hand down my braid. "The same as yours, but mine is in Japanese, and Wufei's is in Chinese. It just seemed... right, somehow, since we're all discovering those ancestries. It kind of brought us together, so we... "
"Thank you," I said to both of them. "It means a lot for you to... that you wanted something to show..." I faltered, but then grabbed my marmot and hugged it tightly before tossing it up in the air and catching it. "I'm naming my woodchuck Phi!" I exclaimed to cover how choked up I was over the level of commitment we were making.
They both gave me an understanding look before tackling me to the bed and laughing out, "It's a ground hog!"
I was soon being kissed and caressed with a fierceness that told me how much they'd missed me too. It didn't take long for us to be naked on the bed. Heero lay under me in an inverted position, sucking me enthusiastically. I was happy to return the favor, and behind me, Wufei kneeled as he prepared me. It was so intense, feeling their passion for me, and my passion for them, in some kind of endless loop. Then Wufei pressed into me.
"Oh yes. I've missed this," he panted as his hips drove forward.
I moved back into his thrust as I pulled away from Heero, licking his tip teasingly. "What? Heero won't bottom for you anymore?" I grinned, knowing I was baiting both of them and loving it. This is what I had missed most. When we have sex, we indulge in more than just physical teasing, and it always makes it more fun, because I do it so well.
Heero let go of me, nibbling on my thigh. "He likes it on bottom. He's just too proud to admit it."
Wufei moaned as he sheathed himself again in me. "Shut up, Yuy. You're the bitch more than I am."
I choked on my laughter, trying to not bite Heero since he was back in my mouth. I felt my lover below me reach back to my lover behind me, and then Wufei gasped. I knew exactly what was happening; Heero had inserted a couple fingers into the Chinese man, and as much as Wufei hated to admit it, he loved having his prostate fingered.
"You're just as often the bitch as I am, Chang," Heero growled before kissing my cock. There was no way I was going to get in the middle of this. Sure, I'd started it, but that really wasn't the point. No, I would just mind my own business, which was getting well and truly screwed, receiving some good head, and giving the best blowjob I could. Yeah, I was staying out of this, just continuing to innocently suckle the hardness between my lips.
Wufei grabbed my hips, slamming home with more vigor. "Maxwell is the bitch more often than both of us."
Well, okay, if they really wanted me to play, I could do that too. I wasn't going to take that lying down... well, you know what I mean. I thrust back harder onto Wufei, squeezing tightly around his shaft as I began nuzzling Heero's balls. "Being the bitch has its advantages, guys," I told them smugly as they both yelled out from my actions. "I usually get to come more than once and almost always get dual stimulation." I smirked as I licked the spot behind Heero's sac and squeezed my muscles around Wufei again. "It's good being bottom."
"We'll remember that," Wufei replied breathily, obviously too focused on his impending climax to banter more.
"Yeah, you're bottoming for the unforeseeable future," Heero added before abandoning the conversation as well.
I was close myself. How could I not be with Wufei pounding into me like an experienced construction worker with a jackhammer, and Heero slurping me like I was a freezer pop on a hot summer's day? I let my fingers roam down to Heero's entrance, slipping a couple inside, wanting to give him as much stimulation as he was giving Fei and me. He groaned at the penetration, sending a chain reaction through the three of us. Wufei hit that pleasure nub inside me just as Heero used his tongue to stroke that amazing place under the head of my cock that always sends me over the edge. The pressure that had built up inside of me released in a blinding moment of intensity that literally took my breath away. I tried to alert the Japanese man under me of the coming explosion, but he knew the signs, and I just moaned helplessly as he began swallowing down my seed, sucking intently to arouse every single nerve in my body. When my other lover struck that spot within again, my muffled yell vibrated through Heero's shaft where I was still suckling him. I twirled my fingers and felt him tense at the added stimulation a moment before my mouth was filled with his passion. I was still coming and tightened around Wufei as he thrust inside me, his heat pouring into me as he cried out loudly. Heero must have given our lover a finger-twirl or two of his own. Our completions rocked the mattress, and we remained in position just trying to ease our shaking for several minutes. This was the most intense lovemaking we'd ever had, sake and Japanese baths notwithstanding, and it took a while to recover.
We were way too sticky to stay in bed for good though. A hot shower was the best way to end our little reunion celebration, and we didn't waste time getting into the bathroom once we could all walk again. Of course, there was more groping, and finally another round of orgasms, but then we were snuggling under the covers of our bed, warm and content. Wufei's hair was down, as was mine, and Heero had his hand tangled in both, mingling them together in a way that would have made me turn around and kiss him if I hadn't been so wonderfully exhausted. Heero was pressed close against my back with legs entwined and Wufei was turned on his side with his leg thrown over mine. My head was resting comfortably against Wufei's shoulder as my fingers laced with Heero's from where his arm wound around me. If I hadn't been so happy, I would have been laughing my ass off at how sappy we were.
"We are definitely going to celebrate White Day every year," I drawled out lazily.
Soft snores met my sated proclamation, and I felt Heero's even breath on my neck as Wufei's ruffled my bangs. Snickering to myself, I snuggled and cuddled against my Amorous-Asians, thinking about what holiday we would get to have fun enjoying next. Knowing them, it could be anything. They had surprised me so many times already since they'd shown up at my door New Year's Eve. To think that my first night with them was because of 'cultural enrichment', without me even knowing about it, was enough to make me grin. I thought about the Preventers and what it would mean for me to join. I thought about how Hilde would take me leaving the yard for good. I thought about whether or not I could watch the men I love risk their lives in front of me instead of just waiting for them to come home. An old earth song echoed in my mind, reminding me of how I'd felt earlier, and I wondered if I could bear going through that again. For now, I was content to be here with them, but tomorrow I would have to really consider what I wanted. Closing my eyes, I let myself drift towards the realm of dreams where every day was a holiday and both of my lovers were always by my side, but the lyrics still played in my mind.
//I wonder how we can survive this romance, but in the end if I'm with you, I'll take the chance... Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you. Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks, I will be right here waiting for you//
Before sleep finally claimed me, I had already decided that being with the two men wrapped around me was where I belonged. I wouldn't be left behind to wait for them again when I could be by their sides, watching out for them.
The End
