The Paddle Team Vs. Green Thumb Duo Part 09
By ClarySage
A Round Robin of the CS Insanity Central ML
Quatre bit his lip to keep from laughing at the look of pure bliss on GreenThumb's face. Hopefully Duo wasn't too fond of jealous green...
He hurried a little to catch up with Trowa, catching his hand and stroking one thumb over his palm.
Trowa shivered slightly and turned to Quatre with an inquiring eyebrow.
"Soooo, Trowa... about the garden.... How would you feel about some vines...?"
*******
GreenThumb was in heaven, or at least a fair facsimile thereof. The Paddleteam headquarters was a large, ivy coated building, reddish bricks, wide sparkling windows, and to his utter delight, the back yard was just one huge garden. Quatre and Trowa had a done a decent job with it, small fruit trees yet to bloom encasing flowers and low shrubs. A lovely little wrought iron bench, a small fountain here, a pathway between a rock garden over there. In short, it had everything possible to make Duo comfortable.
There was really only one problem. There was no one there to keep him company. The four members of the Paddleteam were all inside, concentrating on figuring out just how much damage he'd manage to do, and what, if anything, his punishment was to be. GreenThumb sighed heavily, running his fingers along a flower nearby and smiling a little when it grew large and striking, a heady odor rising to his nose. Plants were always trying to impress him in such ways. They all felt this strange desire to please him; it wasn't his fault, really.
He dug his toes into the grass, leaning back on his elbows and letting the dying sun bath him in gold. It had really all started when he'd accidentally drunk Scientist Duo's mixture of plant growth formula and lust potion, then had downed some fertilizer and plant food to boot. Before he'd become GreenThumb, he'd actually had a different name. He smiled slightly in remembrance; he'd been called Pretty Duo. His main purpose amongst the others of his kind being to merely look beautiful at all times, and to dazzle everyone with his magnificence.
But after drinking all those chemicals, he'd been changed. First, his stomach had hurt something awful, and then he'd actually turned green, and finally, his skin tone reverted to porcelain white, hair becoming lustrous, and his eyes had become like two sparkling emeralds. The only problem really, had been they'd found he couldn't stand the touch of manmade materials anymore. Anything like concrete, or iron, even a polyester shirt, and he'd end up writhing on the ground in pain.
So, he'd run away from his home, leaving behind the other Duos and his mistress, determined to find some better way of living. What this better way was, he was still unsure of, but he knew it had to be out there somewhere. Unfortunently, it'd only been a few months and already he seemed to be causing serious trouble.
He sighed again, letting a few soft tendrils of grass grow along his arm like a bracelet. Maybe the Paddleteam would let him stay with them. He'd certainly be 'planted' more often. He could tell, just by the look in their eyes, they *all* wanted him. The problem was, he wasn't sure which ones he wanted.
Heero, the dark haired one, was certainly very attractive, and sexy too. It was the way he seemed dangerous and seductive all in one glance. Not to mention the body on him, so tight and lean, piercing eyes and full lips.
But then there was the way the Chinese boy, Wufei, had been paddling him. It still sent little tingles to his groin just thinking about it. The lascivious whacks to his bottom, the way Wufei had been panting, an obvious erection poking Duo where he'd laid across his lap. That'd been hot too.
And the blond one, Quatre, those tiny delicate hands, the small slapping sounds of his camel quirt, those lustrous aqua eyes. Mmm, and that kiss! But he seemed to be taken already by the tall one, Trowa, who also was decidedly gorgeous.
Not that GreenThumb really minded borrowing something already taken, or in this case, someone. But just the same, if he wanted to stay it was probably best if he didn't cause any more trouble.
So who to pick? Or maybe, he thought, rolling over and letting the grass have its way with him. Maybe he should just let them decide. That way, he wouldn't be the one causing the trouble, if there were any troubles. The grass wiggled its way over his body, the smell of fresh greenery enveloping him entirely as it slithered over his face, feeling like tiny kisses. Soon, little flowers sprouted, miniscule blossoms erupting like rainbows within the grass.
"GreenThumb," he heard what sounded like Heero's voice saying, "GreenThumb, are you all right?"
He blinked, looking up through the small space left around his face. "Uh huh, they like me," he murmured happily, inhaling the scent of a hundred tiny flowers.
"I can see that, but aren't they suffocating you?" Heero knelt down, gingerly pushing the grass and flowers away from Duo's face. He sat back on his heels, holding back a sigh of appreciation. GreenThumb really was beautiful, those enchantingly green eyes sparkling with pleasure.
"No, they wouldn't do that," he wiggled a little and the grasses eased away, as if melting off him, "they don't want to hurt me, they just want to touch me."
Heero knew that feeling, rather acutely. Even now, he fought the urge to run his finger over that tiny upturned nose, that full and smiling mouth, trace the long lashed eyelids that swayed sleepily over GreenThumb's stunning emerald eyes. Lust pollen or no lust pollen, he had to face the fact that GreenThumb Duo was beyond attractive, and that there was no way he'd be able to resist much longer. "We decided that you should stay with us for a while, just in case," he whispered, tentatively stroking one alabaster cheek. His fingers trailed down a little, refusing to listen to his brain.
"Mm," Duo sighed, arching into the touch and tilting his head to the side, "I promise I'll be good." Then he frowned a little, realizing that if he behaved himself, he wouldn't get any more spankings. "Well, mostly good," he said with a grin.
"Hmph," Heero grunted, easing into a sitting position and removing his hand from GreenThumb's face. Idly he fingered the brush that was attached to his belt, eyeing the long hair in its messy braid. "Would you mind if I…" he asked, holding up the hairbrush and waggling it.
"Oohhh, would I?!" Duo squealed excitedly, sitting up suddenly and jumping into Heero's lap. "I'd love it!"
*******
Wufei was in hell, well, proverbial hell. He had been coming out to tell Duo the good news, when he'd discovered Heero had beaten him to it already. So, being the honorable man that he was, Wufei decided to hide behind some nearby bushes and watch what unfolded, or in this case, unraveled.
Heero was busily trying to unravel GreenThumb's long hair, tangling his fingers to the roots in an effort to release the snarled hair from its braid. After a few moments, he managed to get some of it undone, and carefully ran his brush through a bit of it. Instantly GreenThumb stiffened, yowling with pain. Heero jerked backwards in surprise, "What's the matter?"
"Owww, that brush," GreenThumb gasped, "what's it made of?"
"Metal and wood," Heero responded, nonplussed.
"No wonder," Duo sighed, slumping down and putting his head in his hands, "It's not fair! I can't seem to touch anything," he groaned, slumping even lower, "I can't even get my hair brushed anymore!"
Heero glanced at him, rather puzzled. Had he hit a snarl? Maybe he'd brushed too hard? "Why not?"
"I can't touch anything that's manmade, it hurts now. Before the change I was normal, but now…"
"The change?" Heero asked.
The change? Wufei echoed silently from his hiding place.
"The change, you know? When something changes you irreversibly? Well, I used to be normal once, but a few months ago, I accidentally drank some of S. Duo's plant growth formula, and then when I went looking for something to wash my mouth out with I accidentally drank his lust potion, and then T.K. Duo handed me fertilizer mixed with plant food…" GreenThumb trailed off, looking rather forlorn all of a sudden.
Heero was confused; who were all these other Duos GreenThumb kept referring to? And why on earth would someone hand you fertilizer and plant food to drink? And wouldn't this normally kill you if you did happen to drink all of it? "So it's the brush?" he asked, realizing at last the reason Duo had howled.
"Yeah, it hurts," Duo fell backwards into the grass, digging his fingers into the soil and moaning softly, "damnit," he whispered in disappointment. He'd been so close. Heero had been right behind him, all nestled up close, breath whispering past his ear. And he hadn't even had to use pollen this time!
"Hold on, I'll be right back," Heero said, standing up and jogging back towards the headquarters.
