Written for merith
"What's Trowa hiding under his blazer?" Duo whispered, nudging Quatre on the side.
Quatre made sure the teacher wasn't looking before whispering back, "a kitten."
Duo gave Quatre a look and tilted his chair back to get a better look at Trowa.
"What is it?" Heero asked, pulling Duo's chair back in place.
"Trowa has a kitten in his blazer."
Heero raised an eyebrow. "Is that a clever metaphor?"
Duo shook his head discretely and gave the teacher an innocent smile before pretending to take some notes.
"What is it?" asked Wufei, when the teacher turned his back to the class to write something on the board.
"Trowa has a kitten in his blazer," Heero repeated.
"Why?"
Heero shrugged and asked Duo. Duo poked Quatre on the side and asked him.
"Trowa found it on an ally," Quatre explained "And it's too little to be left alone."
"Have you seen it?" Duo asked, exited. "Is it cute?"
Quatre smiled brightly. "I saw it in first period. It's tiny and brown with white spots."
Again, Duo moved his chair back, balancing on the two back legs. Trowa had his hands around his torso, and he was looking down, a small smile on his face. Two tiny furry ears could be seen peeking over the blazer. Suddenly, Duo lost his balance and fell back with a loud clack followed by a soft meow.
The classroom fell quiet and the teacher asked, "What was that?"
"It was me," Quatre said, quickly, as Duo stood up. "I was startled."
The teacher was glaring. "Do you always mew when you are startled, Mr. Winner."
Quatre nodded slowly.
"He's done it since he was little," Wufei commented.
"Why do you think we call him Cat?" Duo added, noticing from the corner of his eye that Trowa had warped the blazer closer around him, completely hiding the kitten from view.
Heero swallowed a chuckle.
The teacher was turning a funny shade of red. "Out! All of you. I don’t want you in my class. Principal Une can deal with you in detention today."
Duo blinked. "When you say all of us, exactly, who do you mean?" He asked, even though experience had taught them that when a teacher used the expression "all of you" it always meant the five of them, regardless if they all had gotten in trouble or not.
"Out!"
The five of them gathered their stuff and walked outside where they could finally let out a laugh and play with the kitten while it mewed happily.

Summary: When their lovers are away, Trowa and Duo allow themselves some guilty pleasures.
Written for zerotwofan
Duo took a swig of his beer and wiped his mouth with the back of his had. "What you get?"
Trowa grinned and placed the plate on the table. Tamales. Duo nodded his approval and took another bite of his culin, licking his fingers after he finished the pork sausage. He patted his stomach, took another swig of his beer and smiled happily. "You know, Tro, this is the only good thing about having our snuggle bunnies away."
After almost chocking on his food, Trowa drank some beer said, "I would like to see you call them that to their faces."
Shrugging, Duo stole a piece of pork from Trowa's tamales and ate it. "Q would probably find an inventive and scary way to get back at me. Heero would be inventive too, but not scary." He winked.
Trowa shook his head. "I don't want to know."
"Like you two aren't kinky," Duo accused. "I can see Q punishing you for eating this."
"Not in the fun way." Trowa frowned. "He just doesn't let me kiss him for two days."
"Ouch!" Duo winced. "Heero makes faces and tells me he can smell the grease in my skin. Like you can really do that!"
Finishing his tamale Trowa shook his head. "They don't know what they are missing." He finished his beer and then looked at Duo. "Empanadas?"
"Hell yeah!" Duo said, standing up and walking up to the small food stand. "If our lovers have to be away then we might as well enjoy all the comfort food we can."
Trowa nodded. "Let's get some tortillas too."
"Good idea," Duo agreed. "They get back in two days and then there's no more unhealthy greasy food for a while," he added, smiling.
"A tragedy," Trowa said in a bored tone. He was smiling too.
Duo laughed and patted Trowa on the back. "The sacrifices we made for love."
Trowa's smile widened slightly. "They are worth it, though."
Duo grinned in response and licked his fingers. "Oh yes…"

"Heero blushes, did you know that?"
Dorothy put down her mimosa and raised an eyebrow. "And how do you know that, dear?"
Relena grinned, that grin she carefully hid from the public eye. "I caught him and Duo having sex once."
Eyes brightening, Dorothy leaned forward. "Do tell. Did you get pictures?"
Shaking her head Relena said, "Sadly I didn't have my camera with me."
"A shame." Dorothy took another sip of her drink. "I would have liked to see Heero Yuy blush."
"You can." Relena smiled, finishing her cosmopolitan. "He does every time I mention his stay in Sank last summer."
"Wonderful! You must mention it the next time I'm around."
"Duo makes bad jokes," Relena gestured to the bartender to bring her another drink. "When he's nervous," she explained.
"I've noticed." Dorothy nodded. "Quite an annoying trait." She put a hand under her lips and then smiled. "Quatre mutters under his breath when he's annoyed. Makes him look like a grumpy child. An amusing sight, I must say."
Relena laughed, took the new cosmopolitan from the bartender and had a sip before asking, "You haven't seen Wufei pout? He does grumpy child so well."
Dorothy drank slowly. "I can only get him to rant incoherently. Making him pout would be an interesting challenge."
Dipping her index finger in her drink, Relena twirled it slowly, and then licked her finger. "Have you noticed how Trowa always licks his fingers deliberately slow when Quatre is watching?"
"They are madly in love and completely clueless about it," Dorothy said and finished her drink.
Relena smirked. "Would you be against a little meddling?"
Dorothy smirked back. "Not in this case."
"Good. And this time, I'll have my camera ready."

The Captain's Goggles

Pairing/Characters: Gen. Quatre and Rashid.
Summary: Quatre finally makes it to Earth.
Written for zerotwofan
Rashid stood straight, watching as the cockpit of the Gundam opened and a figure jumped down, without hesitation, holding onto a rope. Taking two steps forward Rashid smiled. "Master Quatre, welcome to Earth."
Quatre had changed since Rashid had seen him last. He was taller and, although still lean, Rashid could notice the strength hidden in the slim figure. His eyes were completely different, more secure, proud and strong. Quatre shook his head slightly. "You don't have to call me Master, Rashid. I disinherited myself to come here. I don't deserve that title."
The words took Rashid by surprise. He hadn't expected Quatre to give up his family and everything he knew to fight, but somehow, it didn't surprise him either. "You earned that title, Master Quatre, not with your family's money but with your actions."
A small smile appeared on Quatre's face and he bowed his head, gracefully accepting the compliment. "Thank you, Rashid. It means a lot to me." He reached for his back pocket and retrieved a pair of goggles. "I also wanted to return these to you," he said, handing them to Rashid. "Thank you for letting me use them."
Rashid gently pushed the goggles back to Quatre. "They are yours."
"But they are the captain's goggles. You should have them."
"Master Quatre, I gave those to you." Rashid looked back at the group of Maguanacs barely restraining themselves from running over to greet Quatre, and then fixed his eyes on Quatre again. "When I did, I entrusted you with my men's lives. The Maguanacs owe you a debt of honor, one we are grateful to repay with our loyalty. Those goggles are a symbol of the trust we have in you, and you honor us by wearing them."
Quatre smiled, apparently unable to speak for a moment. He folded the goggles carefully and put them back in his pocket. "I will take good care of them."
Rashid nodded solemnly and waved the other Maguanacs over. "I know."

Pairing/Characters: Gen. Howard and Quatre.
Summary: Howard and Quatre have a small chat on Peacemillion.
Written for zerotwofan, because she wanted Friendship fics
Howard looked at Duo's retreating figure and shook his head. He let the cards fall on the table and muttered, "Damn kid!"
There was a soft chuckle, and Howard turned to the side to see Quatre grinning. "How much do you owe him now?"
Putting his hands behind his head and leaning back on the chair, Howard said, "More than I want to admit. He cheats better than I do." And that's what hurt Howard the most. The damn kid probably knew more tricks and than Howard did, and Howard had several years of advantage.
"That's why I don't play with him." Quatre walked up to the table and sat on the chair Duo had previously occupied. "I'm not very savvy in the art cheating." He gathered the cards and started shuffling them expertly.
Howard watched Quatre's hands carefully, trying to see if Quatre was indeed more 'savvy' than he let on. Quatre dealt the cards, five for Howard and five for himself. "No bets. This is just for fun."
"Sure, kid," Howard said, not even trying to hide the suspicion in his voice. He looked at his cards; he had nothing but a pair of fours. "No bets, right?" He pushed the other three cards on the table and Quatre quickly dealt him three new ones to replace them.
Quatre smiled. "This is just fun." He pushed away one of his cards and dealt himself one from the top of the deck. "What do you have?"
Howard looked at his cards and grinned. "Four fours, kid."
The smile in Quatre's face changed to a smirk as he turned his cards, showing four aces. He stood up and winked at Howard. "I might not be very savvy, but Duo's instructions do seem to be paying of." And with that, he left the room.
Howard shook his head, chuckling, and started to put the cards away. "Damn kids!"
