Notes: Oh, this is SO LATE... I hope you guys enjoy anyway. Darn thing grew a plot and, well, you know how that goes >__< Also, I wanted to mention that I have a new ML on Yahoo! Groups, Bittersweet Haven *bounces* All of my new fics and stories - GW, other fandoms (WK, FMA, MoB, Gravi), and originals - will be posted there after I finish posting the opening fic for the ML... which I will post here too. I plan on posting preliminary drafts of new fics there for feedback before posting them in completed form. I've also uploaded some bishonen bitmaps to use for icons in the files sections, as well as a few pics/wallpapers. I'll be posting updates on yaoi in English and upcoming yaoi releases as I find them out as well. So... come and join! It's new, so there's not much going on yet, but there will be... I'm sure we'll all have a blast! And now, on with the fic
BTW, I know a lot of you have sent me feedback, and I just wanted to say a blanket 'THANK YOU!'. I'll be emailing individual replies too, but I have the chest cold from hades, so my inbox is out of control again, and I don't know how long it will take me to wade through it. I appreciate every single email and reply I get, so please don't think I don't care. I DO!!! *huggles*
I opened my eyes to the most wonderful feeling in the Earth and Colonies - the feeling of my lovers lying against me. Heero was cuddling against my left side, his head on my shoulder, and Wufei was snuggling against my right side, his cheek on my chest. I grinned goofily as I thought about our trip to Ireland three weeks ago, and if not for waking my two Amorous-Asians, I would have laughed out loud at some of the memories. The three of us had to return to work tomorrow, but I'd decided to deem today as our own special holiday. Yep, that's right, folks; today was going to be 'Let's-see-if-we-can-screw-each-other-silly' Day. What? Don't look at me like that. I'm sure that most people would like it... though it does need to be move to sometime in April. You know, so it's right between Easter and Memorial Day. That would work out better in my opinion, but today would do. I was going to make sure it became another tradition for us at least... like the steam baths in Japan. Oh yeah.
Ireland had been fun... and interesting. Celebrating St. Patrick's Day was something I'd definitely be doing from now on. Those Irish could really party! Who could blame them? St. Paddy had been a cool guy, running out the snakes and all. The best part for me, though, was finding out new things about both my lovers' personalities. For instance, Wufei hadn't been a bit self-conscious telling folk tales in pubs once he was lit. He hadn't been too stuck up to wrestle in some tavern for the title of 'Brawny Man' either. In fact, he hadn't even been embarrassed leaning over to kiss the Blarney Stone. Seeing his jean-covered ass bent over while doing it had made me drag him and Heero into a secluded area where various oral attentions had followed. So yeah, Wufei had surprised me.
As for Heero, he'd shocked the hell out of me. First, he'd harassed the help until one of the girls had taught him how to dance a jig. Then he'd talked with the Irish band during a break, only to hop up on stage later and sing the chorus of the song they were playing - and he has a good singing voice too, the bastard. Of course, his crowning glory had been when he'd straddled my lap and kissed me senseless in front of everyone. Yeah, he'd been plastered, but still, I'd never imagined he'd do those things even then. His excuse later was that I was a bad influence. Me? Those two perverts could give lessons! If anyone was being corrupted here, it was yours truly. Of course, I was enjoying it, but that's not the point. That night, I realized that I couldn't compete with their newfound craziness.
So I just watched.
To see two former Gundam pilots swilling ale and trying to explain colony course calculations to the bartender made me grin and shake my head at them. To see them singing "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" with a barmaid who had one front tooth missing made me laugh my ass off. To see them tip that same barmaid generously because she'd just lost her husband in an accident made me want to hold them as close as physically possible and never let go. Do you understand why? They give me so much to live for now. The way that they conspire against me just to make me smile is downright inspiring at times. Being without them for even a single day is lonely, and losing either one of them would be like losing the sun. Which is why I'm joining Preventers.
What? You didn't see that coming? Well, the three of us had been forced to observe White Day at home because my two Preventer agents were placed on call due to a situation that might have needed their team. Although sweets had been exchanged at our place, it had created problems for our holiday plans since we'd had to rebook our flights. Then when we'd returned from Ireland, Heero and Wufei had been sent out on a mission that had taken longer than expected; I'd spent Easter coloring eggs and muttering stuff that should not be uttered on Easter Sunday, whether you celebrated Spring or Jesus. Chocolate bunnies, jellybeans, marshmallow peeps - they just can't compare with having my lovers here with me, explaining the cultural significance of Christianity on the Roman Empire, and the pagan rituals that made their way into the holiday from different religions mingling as the Empire expanded.
I called Une the following Tuesday, which was last week, and had a little chat with her. I was tired of being left behind while my lovers were out risking their lives, and she was all for letting me become a field agent because of my skills. I made her a deal - I'd join, but I wanted to be on Heero and Wufei's team. Une had offered me the job that Ro and Fei had told me about the day after Valentine's. I was going to be the one responsible for getting my teammates into places, keeping them safe while there, and getting them out if all hell broke loose. I hadn't thought about how I'd handle it if I couldn't get one or both of them to safety during a mission, but at least it would be me doing it, not some schmuck that might not give a damn. That had to be an improvement...
Of course, I still hadn't told them about it.
Yeah, I know. Here they were draped all over me, and I hadn't even told them that I was coming with them to PHQ tomorrow instead of to the scrap yard. Hilde already knew about it, but I hadn't told the two men I love yet. That was messed up, but I was worried that they'd blow a gasket over it when I did tell them, so I'd been... waiting. The right moment hadn't materialized during the rest of last week, so I was down to a sort-of-right moment at this point. I mean... they didn't even know that I'd called Une. I'd begged her to not say anything to them until I was able to, and she'd agreed. I guess I felt like they'd gone along with me before just so I wouldn't get angry with them - like they had said 'yes' but was going to make sure it never happened. Sure, I could trust them with my life, could even trust them to give me anything I needed or even wanted on a material level, but when it came to their odd code of honor, I could also see them pulling strings to keep me from becoming an agent. They would call it 'protecting' me, even though they know damn well that I can take care of myself. I could see them doing it, and it made me feel really shitty to even admit it to myself that I thought they would do it to avoid an argument.
Hey, I know I have a temper. I've gone off the deep end more than once since we've all been together, so both of my lovers are well aware and try to avoid it if possible. Not that they tiptoe around me, or anything. They just don't say much sometimes when I bring up a subject they don't agree with me on, making those noncommittal noises, which can be very patronizing but ineffective since I usually walk away, doing what I want to do anyway with or without their approval. Most of the time, they are rather reserved the next few days after one of my 'attempts at being an individual'. It's called sulking, and they both do it so well, they should see if the event could be added to the Olympics. Summer games, I think. Maybe could be a partner sport, like tennis doubles.
Looking down at them, I sighed. My mind was wandering all over the place again when what I needed to be doing was waking them up to have mind-blowing sex before pancakes. Heero had promised to make me pancakes, and by golly, he was gonna do it when he woke up... after I ravished him and Fei, that is. Smirking, I slid my hand down to rub the curve of his ass. Wufei was a little father south, so I contented myself with trailing fingertips over his back. Both of them nuzzled me, so I proceeded with my assault. Scooting lower in the bed, I shifted my arms and slipped my hands inside the waistbands of briefs and boxer-briefs alike, feeling the silky flesh harden as groans sounded above me. My two sleepyheads were finally beginning to awake in more ways than one...
"I think he wants us to get up," Wufei grunted out.
"He must want pancakes," Heero replied with a yawn.
I grinned that goofy grin again. "First of all, you're both already 'up' if what I'm feeling is any judge. Secondly, I want pancakes but not yet. Thirdly, Happy 'Let's-see-if-we-can-screw-each-other-silly' Day!"
"What's he talking about?"
"I don't know, but it sounds good."
I laughed at them throatily as they pulled down their respective underwear. Fisting two cocks gleefully, I was even more pleased when two hands tugged at my boxers. When the garment was thrown on the floor, I spread my legs in obvious need, my own erection straining for attention. They both snickered at me, the bastards, while Heero stroked my cock and Wufei fondled my balls. My hands faltered, but then I regained my control and began stroking them faster, trying to get them to pick up the pace. I'm all for taking it slow usually, but pancakes were calling, and I just didn't have the patience for anything other than good old-fashioned hand jobs right then. Groans filled our bedroom, and I have to admit mine were the loudest. It didn't take long for us all to come, stickiness flowing against hips and fingers, on stomachs and groins... basically, all over lower bodies, which was fine since I loved feeling the evidence of their enjoyment on me. In me was even better, but on me was a close second. I smiled in contentment as they both leaned in and kissed me, Heero on my forehead and Wufei on my cheek.
"Shower then pancakes, guys," I said with a sigh as I returned those kisses in the same way.
The shower provided another round of festivities. Touching had become a major part of our lives together, and although nothing could take the place of restful snuggling, erotic handling was a close second... well, okay, third, since I love kissing, and my lovers were very good at it. You would think that meant they were good with their mouths doing other things, but as I've alluded to before, they apparently didn't do much of that before getting with me. I don't know if it was because of the act itself or just the idea of sucking another guy off, but when I began doing it to them, they soon discovered that it could be a pleasurable thing without being demeaning. It had to be some kind of cultural thing, though if anyone had a reason to feel that way about it, it should be me. I'd watched hookers ply their skills on customers in alleys. Talk about a way to put you off of something for good, but I'd managed to maintain an open mind when it came to sex despite my background.
Now I never did it for money or anything, but I do give great head. Not being conceited either. Heero and Wufei both can attest to it. The fact that they let me do it to them and have tried to do it to me more often now shows me that they have accepted it as part of our lovemaking. It still takes some coaxing sometimes to get one of them into that position, sucking or being sucked, but once in the middle of it, they go nuts. I don't understand why they get skittish about it. Maybe I intimidate them by making them feel inexperienced? I don't know. I'll have to work on building their self-esteem for doing it - and no; I would never TELL them that they needed to work on it. When it comes to other things, sure, I'd let them know they had room for improvement, but sexual stuff is not something a guy jokes around about when it comes to male performance. Of course, any licking is good in my book, so I don't really care if they can't deep throat me. I just take pride in the fact that I can do them both. We won't go into size.
Looking at them get dressed made me wish I could throw them both down on the bed and take turns sucking them right then, but pancakes were a priority, and there would be time for oral fun later. Pulling on sweats and a tee shirt, I followed them into the kitchen. Fei and I sat down and watched Heero pull out a skillet and box of pancake flour. Just minutes later, nice fluffy rounds of golden goodness lay on my plate, drenched in butter and syrup. I eyed the glory of morning and forked up a huge bite. Did I mention that Heero's cooking is divine? Well, it is.
"So what are you and Hilde doing tomorrow at the yard?" Heero asked as he sat down with his own plate.
I never tell a lie. It's been my creed, and I try to live by it. It is one of the Commandments, and although I've broken just about all of the other ones, I'm trying to keep this one intact. "Oh, nothing. She'll probably just input sales."
"So you plan on just watching her?" Wufei demanded, a slight frown on his face.
"No," I said, trying to come up with something, "I'll be doing something else." See? Not a lie.
Heero looked at me through his bangs. "Inventory?"
Sighing, I stuck another bite of pancake in my mouth, using the time to stall until my brain kicked in. Bite swallowed, I smiled at him. "Not exactly. More like personnel issues." Oh, that was good!
"Hiring or firing?"
What was this? 'Ask-Duo-questions-during-breakfast-until-he-screams'? I leveled my gaze at Wufei. "Hiring."
They both sat there in silence then. I noticed that they were steadily avoiding my face. What the hell? Finishing my breakfast, I put my plate in the sink and turned to look at them. I felt my temper flaring. Something was going on, and I wanted to know what. They never acted like this unless they were pissed over something, and obviously this pissiness had something to do with me. Leaning back against the counter, I sighed heavily. I suddenly had a feeling that good ole Une hadn't kept her promise. I would have to talk to her about that tomorrow.
"I'm not going to the yard tomorrow, guys, but you know that already," I paused and watched as two pairs of eyes flew to mine. "Don't you?"
They seemed to relax almost immediately. Heero gave me an apologetic look. "Yes. We just didn't understand why you hadn't told us. We decided to wait until today to ask, but you still didn't say anything so..."
"So, we thought you didn't trust us," Wufei finished, his eyes flashing. "Which you obviously don't. Even after this morning, after being so close physically, you still didn't trust us."
I sighed. "Listen, guys. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I wanted to do this on my own." I saw the hurt on their faces and winced. "I thought you'd try to stop me if you knew, and this was just too damn important to me. I didn't want you to... I don't know... keep me out somehow."
"How dare you presume that I would do something so dishonorable!" Wufei exploded; standing up so fast, his chair hit the floor. His face was red with anger.
"Wufei, calm down," Heero said firmly before turning to look up at me, but his glare matched Wufei's. "Why would you think that? We told you that we would be glad to have you on our team. Didn't you believe us?"
I kept my gaze steady on his. "Remember when you asked me to go with you to rescue Relena?" My Japanese lover nodded, a confused look on his face. I continued, "What did you do to me after we stopped the colony from falling on Earth?"
Heero thought for a moment, and then I saw realization dawn. "That wasn't the same thing!" He grated out.
"Oh?" I spat. "Punching me in the stomach to keep me from going with you isn't being overprotective? Get a grip, Yuy." I gave them both an angry look. "For some reason, you both think that you're invincible, but I know you're nothing more than human, and I want to make sure your sorry asses make it out alive! I don't care how afraid you might be of losing me, my fear is twice as much because I can't even think about losing either of you, especially when I can do something about it!" With that, I turned and stalked out of the kitchen.
I felt the tears coming. I used to be able to tell myself that 'boys don't cry', but shit happens now, and I fucking bawl when I feel like it. This was one of those times. Locking myself in the bathroom, I put the toilet lid down and sat on it. For a few minutes, I indulged in an Olympian round of sulking, complete with fanfare and little thought medals. Then I mentally smacked myself and started calming down to where logic could reach me again. I should have told them. I knew that, but I just didn't want them to make me feel... as useless as I felt sometimes. I'd never told them, or anyone else for that matter, but I'd always envied my two friends for becoming agents. Even though I didn't want to kill anymore, a part of me wanted to fight for something I still believed in, to feel like I was making a difference. I was jealous of their jobs, and the only way I knew to end that jealousy was to join them. I hadn't lied when I'd said that I wanted to make sure they made it out alive on missions. That was completely true. So was the part about me being afraid of losing them, but I wasn't going to give them up without one hell of a fight, and this position would at least put me in the field so I be there to try. I may love them, may trust them with my life, but I don't trust them to take care of themselves, and I don't want them to get hurt. Was I being selfish? You bet. Then again, I had just lost their trust by not being honest with them. 'Yay' for irony.
They didn't run after me and beat on the door, yelling or pleading for me to come out. I didn't even hear them in the other room arguing. A good half hour passed, and I was getting tired of sitting in there. My round of sulking was over, and I had come in third - bronze wasn't too bad, right? I sighed and got up, unlocking the door. Peering out cautiously, I walked into the bedroom. Not a sign of either one of my Amorous-Asians. Just as I was about to turn around and go look for them, two bodies tackled me to the bed. I won't say that I 'eeped'. I'd say that I hollered, because that's a dignified word. 'Eeping' might have taken place, but I'll never own up to it.
"You can be such an idiot at times," Heero said softly. "I'm not the same person I was during the war, and although I still want to keep you safe, I would never stop you from doing something you feel so strongly about, especially when it's something I want and need too. I love and respect you too much to do that, and it pisses me off that you don't seem to know that already."
I turned my head to gape at him. He'd admitted to needing me? Wanting me on the team? I'd always known that he appreciated my abilities, don't get me wrong - hell, he came to me and asked for help during the last war - but there was a little place inside me that still wanted to smack him for that stunt on the colony. Yeah, it had worked out in the end for me to go with Quatre and Trowa, but that wasn't the point. Having his respect meant a lot to me - more than I'd wanted to admit.
"We went to Une to see if the position was still open on Friday, because we knew you wanted it, even though you hadn't talked about it anymore," Heero continued. "When she said it had been filled, we argued with her, trying to get her to change her mind and pick you, until she had to tell us that you had it already."
Oh, well... that explained Une's defection. I could understand since I knew my lovers could be tenacious bastards.
Wufei spoke then, drawing my gaze to his face. "You should have talked with us about it. What happened to open communication? What happened to being honest with each other? We can't have a lasting relationship if we can't discuss our feelings and deal with having different opinions." He nodded towards Heero. "Do you know how hard it is to get him beyond that stupid 'I don't need anyone' mentality he has?" I nodded my head, and Wufei went on, "Well, my 'I'm not weak' attitude is just as bad. We wanted to be there for each other, but those ingrained ideals kept getting in the way. We ignored it until we finally blew up at each other." My Chinese lover smiled. "That's when we found out that it was better to argue than to be silent. Telling each other how we felt was better than carrying all of that anger and pain alone. We revert back to old habits sometimes, but we're trying not to."
Heero was right; I can be such an idiot at times. I'm sure Wufei agreed with him. I hadn't wanted them to disrespect me, and yet I'd done it to them. "I'm sorry," I told them. "I should have told you. I... have some issues too. I guess I was afraid that you didn't want me working with you. I didn't want to be... unwanted."
"If I didn't want you working with me, you had better damn well believe that I'd tell you," Wufei growled. "When it comes to my life and the lives of my team, I won't compromise, not for love nor anything else. I may be sarcastic about some things, but I have always considered you a skilled ally, and I need all of those I can get, especially when I need someone to... what did you say? 'Make sure my sorry ass makes it out alive'?" He and Heero shared a look.
I laughed then. "I really am sorry, guys. I'll try to keep from being an idiot when it really counts."
Heero snorted, but his hands were gently running through my bangs. "Never stopped you before."
"In fact, you've made it an art form over the years," Wufei added with a smirk, leaning in closer to me.
"Hey! What is this? Pick on Duo Day?" I asked with a frown, knowing where this would be going and loving it.
Both of my lovers grinned wickedly and said together, "No, it's 'Let's-see-if-we-can-screw-each-other-silly' Day!"
I grinned, and they began showing me what holidays are supposed to be all about. Much later, lying together with them, their seed on me, in me, and all around me, I decided that this was a damn fine one to commemorate!
The End
