Smile

 

 

            “You know what would be fun Wufei?”

            Wufei glanced up to meet the bright eyes of Duo Maxwell, currently perched atop the kitchen counter as he spoon chocolate peanut-butter ice cream straight from the carton straight into his happily awaiting mouth. Wufei felt a smile jerking at the corner of his lips as he watched the boy eat his favorite of favorite treats. The American really *was* attractive despite the many times Wufei and him had tossed careless insults at one another in a semi-friendly banter. “What would be fun?” Wufei asked dutifully, unable to keep the threatened smile from spreading across his face. Knowing Duo it would be something crazy and yet, deliciously fun.

            Duo paused and motioned to his mouth, indicating that it was full of ice cream. He grinned down at Wufei despite his full mouth and was delighted to see Wufei respond, his smile growing into a grin, crinkling up the corners of his eyes. Duo loved making Wufei smile like *that*. Duo took great pleasure in the fact that only *he* could make Wufei grin like that, enough to make those cute little crinkles appear and the tiny flicker in those dark eyes. There was usually such a touch of solemnity and reserve around the Chinese youth and Duo took immense satisfaction in knowing that *he* could draw Wufei out of his shell and make him laugh and smile like *that*.

            Duo swallowed noisily and grinned again before saying. “Working at an ice cream shop! That’d be so cool!”

            Wufei raised an eyebrow. < Working at an ice cream shop? > Of all things he’d expected, he’d never expected something containing to the word ‘work’ to come out of Duo’s mouth. Duo was the first to admit he was a procrastinator and hated to work. But then, maybe not so strange. After all, Duo was the one who’d wanted to *be* the Tyrannosaurus when they had rented the movie ‘Jurassic Park’. His argument was simply: ‘It’d be *fun* to be so big and powerful you could *eat* people and be all gory like that!’ No, nothing should surprise Wufei after hearing *that* come out of Duo’s mouth.

            “Hey, don’t look at me like that!” Duo protested, stabbing his spoon into the ice cream carton with more force than necessary.

            “Like what?” Wufei questioned, amusement veining his voice. Duo only shook his head at him, smirking profoundly. Wufei’s eyes followed Duo’s movement as he popped another spoonful of ice cream into his mouth and ran his tongue over his lips, lapping up each bit of the sweetness. A shiver tumbled down Wufei’s back as he watched the American finish his ice cream, running his tongue over his lips after each bite. Was Duo doing this on *purpose*? It was bad enough having to live with the boy and now he was doing everything possible to draw attention to the very lips Wufei was aching to kiss. Wufei wanted to cry as Duo drew his tongue over his lips once more before jumping off the counter and bending over in search of the trash can located beneath the sink, presenting Wufei with *quite* a view. < This isn’t fair, > Wufei whined to himself as Duo pushed his braid away from him, the long braid flopping over his shoulder and brushing his rear just *so*. “Tease.”

            “What?” Duo turned and gazed at Wufei with wide-eyed innocence as he snapped a trash bag open with a flourish. “Did you just call me a *tease*?”

            < Oh shit! > Wufei panicked. He hadn’t realized he’d said that out loud-hadn’t realized he’d even *thought* it. “Er…um…”

            A smirk graced Duo’s face as he removed the full garbage bag from the trashcan, put the new one in and carefully placed his empty ice cream carton at the bottom. When he looked up again, Wufei was still there, blushing a fiery red as Duo’s eyes alighted on him. < He’s so cute when he’s all flustered and embarrassed. > Duo thought happily as Wufei opened his mouth several time and then closed them with embarrassment. “You think I’m a tease?” Duo asked, hoisting himself back up onto the countertop, his chore finished.

            “N…no,” Wufei stuttered out.

            “Then why’d you call me one?” Duo asked matter-of-factly as he began idly pressing loose strands of hair back into his braid. He watched as Wufei followed his movements and it was with a slight smirk, he took the elastic binding his braid off the end and playfully shot it at Wufei. Wufei looked up, flustered and highly embarrassed as Duo finger-combed his hair and slowly began re-braiding it.

            < He’s definitely messing with me now. > Wufei acknowledged even as his mouth went dry and his heartbeat quickened. This wasn’t fair, just watching Duo braid his hair was going straight to certain parts of him he’d rather it not. “I…”

            Duo grinned, pinching the ends of his braid between his fingertips as he jumped off the counter. “It’s okay Wu. I know you weren’t thinking…with your mind at least,” Duo added reflectively as he tugged on Wufei’s ponytail on his way past. “I need a hair tie,” he mused out loud as he rounded the corner.

            Wufei was left, stunned and confused as Duo left. He didn’t know *what* had just happened, all he knew was that he desperately wanted the braided youth and that he was becoming desperate.

 

#@#@#@

 

            Duo yawned as he rolled out of his bed, stumbling around in the darkness. This was the third time he’d woken up that night and damned if this wasn’t the last time! With that in mind, Duo headed directly for the staircase, planning to get more ice cream. Despite the high sugar count of the food, Duo had found that ice cream always helped him sleep. And he vaguely remembered seeing a carton of vanilla, his second favorite flavor in the back of the freezer. Yum.

            A soft sound paused Duo halfway to the stairs. It sounded like a quiet moan…but it couldn’t *be* anyone…Quatre and Trowa were on a ‘mission’ that suspiciously included large amounts of chocolate and whipped cream while Heero’s bedroom was located in the basement. Was it Wufei? No…it couldn’t be, the Chinese youth always slept silent and unmoving, almost like a rock. But who else could it be?

            Curiosity over-riding his desire for vanilla ice cream and sleep, Duo turned around and headed back down the hallway, passing his room and the bathroom until he got to too the second bedroom at the end of the hallway. Another soft moan…yes, it was Wufei. But why in the world was he crying out like that? Curiosity piqued once more, Duo quietly edged open the door and peaked in.

            “Awww,” Duo quipped as he entered the room, no longer fearing waking Wufei. The Chinese youth was thrashing about in his bed, soaking his sheets with sweat in his highly aroused state, showing *exactly* what type of dream he had to be having. “Poor Fei-chan hasn’t *gotten* any!” Duo said, his tone sugary-sweet as he sat down gingerly besides Wufei.

            “Duo?” Wufei’s voice was incredulous as his eyes flew open suddenly and Duo jumped off the bed, crying out in surprise and embarrassment of being caught.

            “Oh shit!” Duo cried out, jumping off the bed and stumbling backwards. “Aaa, Wu, I’m sorry-I really didn’t *mean*-,” Duo paused. Wufei was smiling. *Laughing* at him! Duo drew himself up like a ruffled hen and said with as much dignity as possible, “If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be leaving…”

            “No, I’m sorry, I’ll stop,” Wufei called, his laughter stilling although his smile remained. “But you looked so *funny* stumbling around like that!”

            “And you looked so *funny* squirming around hard as a rock!” Duo shot back nastily.

            To his surprise, Wufei didn’t retort with any sarcasm or insults. He only nodded and said a bit ruefully, “Was I really thrashing around like that? I didn’t know if I was dreaming or what.” Duo nodded and a heated blush stained Wufei’s face even as he said gallantly, drawing up the covers to hide his state of mind. “Why’re you in here anyways?”

            “I heard you moaning and I wondered why,” Duo muttered, blushing a little himself. This was definitely not the way he had anticipated the night to go.

            “Oh…” silence on both sides as the two searched for something to say. “Why were you up anyway?”

            “I kept waking up and I was gonna go get something to eat.” Duo smirked as he added, “I guess I was having the same problem as you.”

            “What?” Wufei looked around unknowingly until Duo’s eyes landed on the tented covers. “Oh…*that*.”

            “I’ll just leave you…go get that ice cream,” Duo excused himself.

            “Yeah,” Wufei agreed although his tone was slightly disappointed.

            Duo nodded and turned, planning to exit but found he really *couldn’t* just leave Wufei like that…

            “Holy *shit* Duo!” Wufei screamed as with a flying leap, Duo landed back on his bed. “What’re you doing?” Wufei cried, scooting over even as he said this to make room for the flushed American.

            “This,” Duo answered and before he could lose his nerve, he pressed his lips against Wufei’s a very firm, very intense kiss.

 

#@#@#@

 

            Wufei was speechless even as he responded to the kiss, pulling Duo down with him as he slowly eased back into a more relaxed position. Their lips parted, both breathing heavily as they gazed at one another, inches apart and unsure of what to do. “D-Duo?” Wufei whispered, his eyes meeting Duo’s briefly.

            Duo nodded slowly. “I don’t know a lot about emotions and stuff but I do know…”

            “What is it to want someone,” Wufei finished.

            Their eyes met again and Duo smiled weakly. “Yeah. That about sums it up.” And it was with that, he leaned forward and kissed Wufei again, this time a bit harder and more forcefully.

            Wufei’s eyes fluttered close as the kiss deepened, pressing him into the pillows and forcing his lips open. Wufei opened his mouth obediently for further examination by Duo’s tongue and was immediately astounded by the sheer passion Duo was kissing him with. Wufei had known for a long while how deep his feelings ran for Duo but he had never supposed Duo might return them…and now it seemed he had thought wrong as Duo’s hot tongue dove in and out of every cranny of his mouth. “Mmm…” Wufei moaned into the kiss, his arms wrapping around Duo and bringing the American crashing down beside him, breaking the kiss and giving them both a second to breathe.

            “Fei?” Duo asked uncertainly, unsure of how far Wufei wanted to take this. Heaven knew how far *he* wanted to take it but Duo wasn’t entirely sure if the feeling were mutual. “Should I go?”

            Wufei’s eyes widened. “No! Stay!” A small blush stained his cheeks as he noted the desperation in his voice but Duo seemed quite pleased by the response as he kissed the Chinese youth again.

            “Then I will,” Duo promised, his fingers moving deftly down Wufei’s chest and pulling his shirt over his head with expertise. A soft sigh escaped his lips as he pressed a gentle kiss to the base of Wufei’s throat before continuing on his path down Wufei’s body.

            Wufei hissed gently as Duo inquisitively nipped at his sensitive flesh before gently kissing and suckling away the hurt, pausing and paying especial attention to each hardened nub of flesh adorning Wufei’s chest. Wufei’s eyes closed softly as he squirmed beneath Duo’s touch, wanting to feel the soft pressure of Duo’s lips and tender, experience touch of his hands on every inch of his aching body. “Duo,” Wufei whimpered out, thrusting up against the American desperately.

            Duo laughed, and kissed Wufei’s lips gently, ignoring the wanting look in his dark eyes. “Patience, Fei, patience.”

            “To hell with it,” Wufei growled, struggling to sit up but unable to as the weight of Duo was suddenly added on to his own as the American straddled his hips. “Duo!” Wufei cried out, half in frustration and half in passion as the American smiled winningly up at him.

            “You, my dear, need to calm down a bit before you hurt yourself,” Duo advised Wufei in a patronizing voice as he played with the drawstring of Wufei’s pants absently. Wufei gnashed his teeth and in response, tried futilely to buck Duo off of him. “As nice as that is,” Duo purred out as their cloth-covered erections met and rubbed against one another with Wufei’s attempts. “It’s not going to get you anywhere.”

            “I hate you,” Wufei growled unsuccessfully trying to glare at Duo.

            Duo laughed again. “You’re a horrible liar, Wu-chan. Stick to the honor thing, it works for you.”

            “Du-oh,” Wufei whined out as the braided youth untied the drawstring of his pants with irritating slowness. “Why are you taking so God-damned long?” Wufei whimpered, thrusting against Duo once more to no avail.

            “Because it makes everything more worthwhile in the long wrong,” Duo explained, finally untying the- stupid, in Wufei’s mind-drawstring. His eyes closed as Wufei thrusted against him once more, a low moan leaving his lips. It had been longer than he’d wanted to admit and Duo desperately craved to finish their union entirely. But that would mean the night ending sooner and Duo didn’t exactly want *that* either. And it was almost with a preoccupied; absent air that Duo slipped down Wufei’s body and aided him removing the unwanted pants Wufei had been despising for quite some time now.

            “Duo,” Wufei whispered, his body tremoring as he felt the eager, hot mouth of Duo envelope his arousal. “Oh God Duo!” Tears of passion seeped beneath his eyelids and trickled down his cheeks as he automatically began thrusting upward into that deep, hot cavern of Duo’s mouth. “Duo!”

            Duo’s mind was racing as he reduced Wufei to a squirming mass of nerves. He’d fantasized about this, oh yes! Every night for past few months it seemed he’d waken up only to dive straight into a cold shower trying frantically to scrub away the memories of his dreams. And now, his hidden desire was a reality. But so much better than a dream! Duo moaned unknowingly and the tremor of his vocal cords shot straight through Wufei, searing his senses and releasing the tension that had built within him. “Duo,” Wufei practically sobbed out as the American licked himself and Wufei clean of Wufei’s release and happily crawled back up Wufei to press another warm kiss against his lips. A deep red flushed in Wufei’s cheeks, as he tasted the dull saltiness on Duo’s lips.

            “Mmm, you’re so cute when you blush,” Duo whispered, kissing him again, deeper this time and a bit more intensely. Still shivering slightly from his climax, Wufei returned the kiss with equal ardor, becoming a little more aggressive this time and forcefully demanding the American open his mouth to him. Duo managed to smirk although his lips were currently engaged elsewhere and deferentially opened his mouth to Wufei’s prying tongue, sparring in turn with his own.

            There was a long moment as the two continued tongue-wrestling and Wufei was surprised to feel the stirrings of an erection so soon after his release. Duo apparently noticed this and ran his hands over Wufei’s lean, muscular build several times before taking firm hold on his half-erect arousal and bringing him to a full state of excitement.

            “Duo,” Wufei hissed out as their lips finally broke apart and both gasped for breath simultaneously. “Duo.” This time it was almost a declaration and Wufei was vaguely aware a smile lighting up amethyst eyes before one long, inquisitive finger invaded him. “Oh-whoa-oh!” Wufei made a sort of strangled moan as the gentle digits of Duo probed questioningly, searching for- “DUO!”

            Duo smirked. That was the spot, all right. “Hush,” Duo whispered quietly, kissing the side of Wufei’s neck gently. “The neighbor’s will hear you.”

            “And?” Wufei groaned out, biting his lower lip harshly as he rocked back on Duo’s hand. “Uhm…Duo…please…”

            “How many times must I tell you to be patient,” Duo admonished, removing himself from Wufei and sitting back on his haunches. “Do you have any-?” the question hung in the air and Wufei nodded, rolling over and opening his nightstand’s drawer.

            “Here.” Wufei pressed the cool bottle into Duo’s waiting hand. “Hurry.”

            “Once again, patience,” Duo scolded in a denigrating tone as he opened the bottle and dipped one, two, three fingers in. “Here…” Wufei whimpered as Duo penetrated him once more, this time with cool, slick fingers, searching for *that* spot again.

            “Aaah!” The cry tore from Wufei’s throat savagely as Duo found what he was looking for and brushed against it several more times, sending jolts of pleasure throughout Wufei. “D-Duo!” Wufei couldn’t catch his breath to utter the short syllables of Duo’s name as the American pressed once more.

            “Just double-checking,” Duo explained, sitting back from Wufei once more. A soft mewl left Wufei’s lips at the lost of the feeling of fulfillment.

            “Please…”

            “In a moment,” Duo promised, gritting his teeth as he massaged the balm onto his long-neglected erection. Oh God, he’d waited so long for this, he didn’t even know if he’d last ten seconds inside Wufei…

            “Now?” Wufei’s tone was begging.

            “Now,” Duo agreed, thrusting forward and into Wufei, crying out as their union was completed. Wufei was silent, his face contorted into a silent cry as he shuddered around the welcomed intrusion. They were still for a extensive moment, both trying to catch their breath and become used to the new sensation. “Fei…?” Duo whimpered out, finally dropping the collected tone he’d kept throughout the night’s events.

            “Yes,” Wufei gave his consent and Duo began his thrusts, long, rapid strokes, filling Wufei with a sense of gratification. “Oh…oh God…Duo…” Wufei managed to gasp out above Duo’s own cries, as the two moved together, rocking themselves and the bed as they rushed towards the pinnacle of the night.

            “Fei…Fei…Fei,” Duo was chanting Wufei’s name with each thrust as he took the Asian beauty, his eyes closing as the tension coiling within him became tighter. “Fei…”

            A long, shuddery breath escaped Wufei’s lips as suddenly, too suddenly it seemed, he exploded, covering both of them with his release as he reached his second climax of the night. Only a mere matter of seconds passed before with a final shout of Wufei’s name, Duo reached his own climax, shaking with the effect it had on them both

            A soft sigh of contentment escaped Duo’s lips as he relaxed and wrapped his arms around Wufei, slowly floating down from the aftermath of their lovemaking, too happy and satisfied to put into words as his eyes fluttered closed. Wufei shifted in Duo’s arms, wanting to say something but much too exhausted too do anything but smile and close his eyes.

            Almost immediately afterwards, sleep overtook the newly-found lovers, relieving them of their exhausted state of mind and body.

 

#@#@#@

 

            “Duo?” Wufei called quietly, rolling over to collide with the American.

            Duo groaned and opened his eyes, “I’m here Wu. What do you want at this *unearthly* hour?”

            “I…” Wufei paused; suddenly shy and tentative around Duo, despite the going-ons between them the night before.

            “Yeah?” Duo yawned and smiled sheepishly, wrapping one arm around Wufei and planting a gentle kiss on his cheek. “What is it?”

            “Nothing. I just wanted to watch the sun rise,” Wufei changed his previous thoughts and sat up, yawning widely.

            Duo smiled impishly up at him from his angle and said, “I love you too.”

            “What?” Wufei looked distraught. “I never said that!”

            “Do you?”

            Caught off-guard by the simplicity of Duo’s question and the still heady feeling from the previous night’s exertion, Wufei nodded. “Yes.”

            “Thought so,” Duo smiled sleepily and wrapped his arms around Wufei’s waist, cuddling against the Chinese youth. Wufei smiled down at the braided American and ruffled his hands softly through his hair, watching with quiet amusement as the chestnut strands turned auburn in the early morning light.

            “You should smile more often. You have a great smile,” Duo advised.

            Wufei’s smile widened into a grin, crinkling his eyes in the way that Duo loved so. “I believe I’ll be smiling more from now on.” Duo nodded at him, satisfied with the answer and quietly, fell back into a deep sleep, followed quickly by his newly claimed lover.
