Bubble Gum

*~* Alright, so you all don’t think I hate Quatre and Trowa, I’ve got this story! *throws it forward* It’s just a PWP and really has no relevance except I was chewing gum and swallowed it and while I was still trying to breathe this idea popped into my head. Yay! In all actuality I like Duo and Heero’s relationship better because it can be a whole lot deeper. But I still like Quatre and Trowa as a couple. Anyway, thanks for reading

Enjoy! *~* ~Ana~

Duo burst into the base giggling wildly clutching something in his hands. He ran over to Quatre, Trowa, Heero and Wufei smiling brightly and giggling like mad.

"Maxwell, what’s the matter with you?!"

"Gum, Wu-man! Gum!"

"Gum?!" they all asked.

They stared at him as if he was nuts. Well, one could never tell with the bouncy, bright, cheery pilot who called himself Shinigami. I mean that had to be a dead give away of his sanity.

"What’s so great about gum?" Quatre asked, slightly curious.

"That it’s this gum!"

"Uh…"

"This gum is the bestest alliestest gum in the world. It can blow bubbles twice the size of your head!"

"*sweatdrop* Well, that’s nice, Duo."

Duo beamed and nodded his head rapidly.

"Baka!"

"You know you love me, Heero!"

Heero glared at him and blushed slightly but nothing more. Duo smiled and nodded rapidly again and flopped down in one of the wooden chairs around the old table. He pulled a piece of gum out of the package so delicately like it was some sort of cherished treasure. He did that four other times and passed them around to the other pilots.

"Here ya go, guys. I have this great idea. Since we haven’t had any missions and what not… plus we’re all bored…"

"You are the one that is bored, Maxwell."

"Ha-ha so what, Wu-man. Anyway, we should have a bubble gum blowing contest!"

They all stared at him with wide eyes and he just beamed, nodding rapidly, braid bouncing along his back.

"That’s an interesting idea, Duo but…"

"What, little Q?"

"Uh… you don’t know if everyone wants to play," Quatre blushed slightly, looking around at the other pilots who were examining the gum. He blushed most when he caught glimpse of the pilot next to him.

"You guys don’t want to play? *sniff*."

They all stared at him and the sad violet eyes that he was giving. They were even worthy of Quatre. He then turned them on Heero who glared but softly.

"*sigh* Fine, we’ll play."

"YAY!" Duo cheered, latching onto Heero’s and squeezing him with all his might.

"Baka! Let go of me!"

Quatre giggled softy and was happy that they both had found love in each other. He could tell that they both were in love, even if Heero tried to hide the fact. Quatre turned to Trowa sitting on his right. He blushed even more and wished he could have that with him. He shook his head as Duo started to explain the rules.

"Ok, each of us has to blow a bubble. We’ll go around the table and whoever has the biggest wins."

"What do they win?" Trowa asked.

"Uh… I don’t know. You actually want a prize? Hmmm… you win another piece of gum!"

They all stared at him and sighed. He was way too happy and excited to argue for a real prize now. They nodded and popped their pieces of gum into their mouths. Chew… chew… pop… chew… snap… chew… chew… snap… chew… pop… chew… pop… snap… chew.

"Alright, ya ready? *chew*."

"Who should go first?" Quatre asked timidly.

"Heero! You go first!" Duo announced with an evil little grin on his face. Heero nodded and started to blow his bubble. The pink sticky gum filled with air and started to get rather big. The other pilots stared in awe and then a hand from out of nowhere slapped the bubble and it popped, getting stickiness all over Heero’s face. Heero turned to his right, staring at the giggling Duo, picking gum off his hands.

"You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that!"

Heero glared at him and picked some pieces off his face. He then grabbed Duo’s braid and hand, pulled him from the table and was dragging him down the hall.

"Baka!"

"You know you love me, Hee-chan!" Was all that was heard for a long time from the two pilots locked up in Duo’s room.

Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei sat at the table and stared at each other and shrugged. Then Wufei spit his gum back into the wrapper and balled it up.

"Gum is bad for the teeth. Especially something this sweet."

"It’s all sugar, Wufei," Quatre smiled.

"Yuck! I’m going to clean my Nataku."

Wufei nodded and walked off to the hanger bay. "Bye," Quatre waved and then sighed. He turned back to his fascination on the right of him still chewing on the gum with much concentration. Perhaps a bit too much for gum chewing.

"Trowa? Are you ok?"

"Yes, fine… *chew*… Why?"

"You look… uh… I don’t know…"

Trowa nodded and blew a little bubble and continued to chew. Quatre sighed and stared dreamily at him. That spiky hair and those large emerald eyes, what was there not to like… or well in Quatre’s oh so humble opinion he was perfect.

"To bad we didn’t get to finish our game," Quatre said leaning his head in his hand.

"We can still finish it if you like."

"Really?! Oh wow! That would be great. I remember my sisters would chew their gum and snap it. I hated that. It was rather irritating."

"Like this?" Trowa asked chewing and then snapping the air in it. Quatre cringed and gave him a pitiful glare "That’s annoying. Please don’t do that."

"Sorry."

"It’s ok," Quatre smiled and then chewed his gum one more time and it snapped. He blinked and blushed, Trowa simply shook his head.

"I bet I could snap it louder than you," Trowa said as if it was matter of fact. Quatre blinked but smiled.

"Alright." He chewed his gum a couple more times and it snapped, rather loudly too. "Can you get yours louder?"

Trowa simply nodded and chewed a bit, blew a bubble and then snapped his gum really loud, so loud it made Quatre jump.

"Sorry."

"No, it’s ok. Let’s see if I can beat that one."

He sat back in his chair and chewed pensively. Blew little bubbles here and there to get the air into it and then chewed some more. Trowa watched him intently. His eyes softly closed as in thought and his jaw working so fast. Trowa smiled on the inside.

Quatre opened one eye as if to challenge him and was about to snap and pop his gum one more time when Trowa leaned in and kissed him. Quatre’s eyes flew open and he sat there, frozen. Trowa deepened the kiss and Quatre melted, closing his eyes and kissing back. After a minute or so Trowa pulled away and stared at him.

His face flush and red, eyes gently closed, mouth parted. He was digging his fingers into the chair and sat stiff.

"Quatre?"

Quatre opened his eyes and blushed more, smiling some. "Trowa… I think I swallowed my gum."

Trowa stared at him a moment and blinked then started to laugh. Quatre smiled and laughed too yet blushed hard. Trowa stopped laughing quickly and Quatre just stared down at the floor, face red.

"What’s the matter, Quatre?"

"Why did you kiss me, Trowa?"

"Well, why not?"

"Uh… *blush*… I don’t know."

"Quatre, I happen to think that you are a good kisser and that you deserve to be kissed. You have very nice, soft lips and I couldn’t help it."

Quatre blushed an even brighter shade of red and toyed with the small crease in his pants.

"Quatre?"

"Yes, Trowa?"

"I would like to kiss you again… if you don’t mind?"

"No… but… get rid of your gum first. I already swallowed mine."

He gave a slight giggle as Trowa spit out his gum and folded it into the wrapper. He then leaned over and kissed Quatre again.

*~* The End *~*
