[fic-91 pairs] Chance of a Lifetime [2xNoin] (Mixed up Series, 2/5)

"Quatre?" Duo's eyes widened as he looked at the boy in the doorway,
then he smiled. Stepping back, he gestured for the boy to enter,
throwing a quick glance over his shoulder at the closed bedroom door.

"Did I come at a bad time?" Quatre asked, catching Duo's
glance. "Heero gave me the address."

"No," Duo said quickly, grinning at the closed door. "She's a heavy
sleeper. Besides," giving the blonde boy a quick wink, Duo pointed
at the door. "I wore her out."

Quatre laughed softly as he sat on the couch. "I was surprised when
I found out who you were with," he said, glancing around the small
apartment. "I didn't know you were bi."

"Yeah," Duo sighed as he sat down across from the blonde. "I
actually thought I was just gay for a long time, but then I met Hilde
and I realized I was bi. Heero said I'm just a sex-addict." Duo
laughed as he remembered Heero's deadpanned expression when he'd
given that opinion. "I guess he's partly right. But...I think I'm
ready to settle down. There's just something about Zia that holds
me. I really think I'm in love."

"You call her Zia?" Quatre laughed. "I guess it *is* better than
Noin."

"She doesn't mind. Besides, she says it makes her feel younger and
exotic." Duo grinned and stood. "Still drinking tea?" he teased as
he walked into the kitchen, "or have you finally become a man and
switched to coffee?"

Quatre laughed as he followed him into the kitchen. "Whatever you
have is fine, but I didn't come here for caffeine. I have an
ulterior motive."

"I figured you did," Duo said, starting a pot of coffee since they
had no tea. "So what can an ex-God of Death with an older girlfriend
do for a rich boy like you who has everything?"

"Not everything," Quatre said slowly. "There's something I want and
I think now's probably the best time to get it. This may be my only
chance."

"Quatre," Duo put his hand on the pale boy's shoulder, squeezing
slightly. "You know I'll help any way I can."

"Duo?" Noin paused in the bedroom doorway, tilting her head as she
looked at Duo who sat on the couch, feet propped up on the
table. "What are you doing up?"

Turning, he eyed her lasciviously, eyes moving to her bare legs then
making their way up. She was wearing a long button-up shirt and
nothing else. "It should be illegal to wake up looking that good,"
Duo quipped. "Come here."

Smiling, Noin crossed the room to sit beside the long haired boy,
throwing an arm around his shoulders as she pressed against his
sides. "Well?" she prompted, poking his side.

"Hey!" Duo cried, giving her a mock glare. "Don't tickle or I won't
tell who our late-night visitor was." Pouting, Noin sighed. Then
her expression grew serious as she waited patiently for Duo to stop
teasing. "Well, Quatre stopped by. Did I tell you that Heero's
hooked up with Trowa?" At Noin's nod, Duo smirked. "Well, it seems
Quatre's single now. And he's got his sights set on a certain
Peacecraft we both know."

Noin's eyes widened as she stared at Duo. "Surely not! I mean,
she's so anoying. Besides, she's gaga over Heero."

"No!" Duo shouted, expression one of disgust. "If he was after
Relena I'd kill him. No, I'm talking about Zechs. *Millardo*
Peacecraft."

"You're serious? Wow...let me guess, he thought Zechs was straight,
right?" Noin shook her head. "It's amazing how mixed up people get
when it comes to sex and love. Don't you think so?"

"Not at all," Duo said sarcastically, then he grinned. "I'm just
glad *we* finally got ourselves straight."

"Especially *you*." Noin said accusingly, causing Duo to flush.

"Hey, until you've been with the `Perfect Soldier', you've got no
place to talk." Duo smirked at Noin's wide-eyed expression causing
*her* to flush.

"Well I don't know about *him*, but even if you're not perfect,
you're pretty damn close."

Smiling cockily, Duo placed a kiss on the tip of her nose. "Yep. I
am, aren't I."
