"Quatre this is stupid!"Heero shouted over the loud music.

"Oh come on Heero,"he shouted back. "At least try to enjoy yourself." Heero grunted back in reply as he leaned against the cold brick wall, arms crossed against his chest. Somehow Quatre had talked Heero into going to a rave with him and Heero stuck out like a sore thumb. He was wearing a white cotton button-up shirt and a pair of blue jeans. Quatre on the other hand looked the part even though he'd only been to few raves. He wore a skin tight black shirt with a big yellow star on the front and baggy JNCO pants. They were at one of those abadoned warehouse raves. The kind that were illegal and usually broken up before dawn. It was hot and cramped inside from all of the dancers, not to mention all the stereo equipement and large speakers. Quatre and Heero were standing near the entrance. The Dj and the turntables were on the far wall, at the back of the warehouse. Quatre and Heero had been friends since childhood and because they lived so close to each other they had always gone to the same school. They were an odd pair. Heero the quiet, scary one while Quatre was more loud and outgoing. And even though Heero always looked angry and bored, Quatre could see right through him.

Heero sighed impatiently as he stared at the crowd of bright people dancing. All were wearing those rainbow bead jewerly and doing that weird dancing which consisted of tricky hand movements and jumping around. Quatre had tried to teach Heero how to liquid but he had to little patience to learn such a useless activity. Heero looked over at Quatre who was hopping up and down energetically.

"Quatre go dance if you want to!"Heero shouted. Quatre looked at him warily for a moment.

"You sure? You won't mind being by yourself?"he asked.

"I'll be fine!"Heero said as he put his hands on Quatre's shoulders and pushed him into the crowd. "Go have fun!" Quatre looked back at Heero a few times as he walked away, unsure of whether he should leave his friend alone or not. Heero tried to put on an assuring smile as the blond haired boy walked into the crowd of dancers. As soon as Quatre had dissapeared into the group of people Heero grimaced. He sighed loudly to himself as he crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the wall. Heero stared disinterestedly at the ravers dancing. 'What the hell am I going to do?'he thought. Heero stayed there for five minutes tapping his foot angrily. He growled as he pushed off the wall and went in search for a stand that sold water. 'This is gonna be a long night,'he thought as he purchased a small bottle of water for three dollars. 'Over inflation. This is gonna be a long night.' He walked down one of the side walls, scanning the crowd for Quatre.

"Hurry up!"

"I'm coming!" Two people roughly ran passed Heero and nearly made him drop his water as they bumped into him. He was about to yell at them for watching where they're going when he saw one of the kids. One was a girl and one was a boy. The boy had very long chestnut hair that was braided down his back. He was wearing black leather pants and a black silk shirt. He also wearing a black fuzzy viser and a pair of wings. The wings were made with black feathers and pinned to the back of his shirt. The shirt was also a button up like Heero's only it was unbuttoned at the top. He was also wearing candy jewerly that glowed in the dark and stood out from his black clothing. The boys face was heart shaped and he looked like a cherub. It was too dark to see what the color of his eyes were.

Heero didn't even notice what the girl was wearing or even what she looked like. He just stared at the boy with his mouth hanging open. The boy was dragging the girl by the hand into the crowd of dancers. Heero, his eyes wide, followed after them. He was so mesmorized that his movements were slow and he had to remind himself to breathe. The girl and the beautiful boy pushed their way into the middle of the group and started dancing in tune to the music. The girl began to liquid in front of the boy's face, teasing him. He laughed and gently grabbed her wrists. He held her arms out to the side and gave her a light kiss on the cheek. Heero's heart sank as he watched. That is until he saw her hit the boy jokingly on the shoulder.

"Tease!"she shouted at him. He just laughed in reply. Heero seemed like he had been watching them for hours. People bumped into him constantly as they danced around, totally oblivious to the strange boy just standing there as still as a statue. Suddenly the beautiful boy with black wings stopped dancing. He had a strange feeling, like someone was watching him, and he began to look around curiously. He turned and spotted Heero a few yards away. The boy looked back at Heero and narrowed his eyes angrily. Heero was shocked and wanted to turn and run but he couldn't seem to move. He watched as the boy whispered something in the girl's ear, never lifting his gaze from Heero. The boy began to walk towards Heero and Heero just wanted to sink into the floor.

'Damnit! Get a grip Heero!'he ordered himself as he masked his face with a look of indifference as the boy stood in front of him. The boy glared at Heero and placed his hands on his hips.

"Hey! Why are you staring at me!?"the boy shouted above the music.

"I was......I.....what I mean is I was...,"Heero stuttered. He was too nervous to say anything. He just stood there and looked at the boy before him, hoping to God that he could just disappear. The boy stared at Heero for a few moments and then he began to giggle. Heero relaxed slightly at the sound.

"You wanna go for a walk?"the boy asked as he smiled at Heero. Heero knodded eagerly and the boy laughed. The boy grabbed his wrist and Heero nearly died from happiness. The boy led him out of the group and out of the warehouse into the cool night air.

Quatre, hot and exhausted from dancing, walked along the walls of the warehouse searching for Heero. 'Where the hell did he go?'Quatre thought angrily. 'Maybe he decided to give it a chance and he's dancing.' He looked around while contemplating this concept but soon dismissed it as impossible. Heero was too much of a wet blanket. As Quatre looked to the right he spotted a pair of wallflowers leaning against the wall, the same way Heero had done. Quatre took a step towards them slowly to get a better look at their faces.

One was Chinese and his black hair was pulled back tightly and tied at the nape of his neck with a rubberband. He was frowning and it looked like the frown was pasted against his face 24/7. He was wearing some jeans and a regular black t-shirt. The other boy was much taller and he had brown hair. The boy's bangs were really long and covered half his face. He looked indifferent to the whole situation while his partner looked like he was about to pull out a gun and start shooting everyone. The taller boy was wearing a green turtleneck, besides the heat in the warehouse, and black pants. 'They look like someone forced them here,'Quatre thought as he braved anothe step towards them.

"Hey,"Quatre said as he built up his courage and stepped up to them. "You guys don't look like you're having any fun." The two boys, both quite surprised by his arrival, stared at him. Well the taller one stared, the other one glared. Quatre tried to smile, but it's hard to stare at someone when they're looking at you like you're a freak. "Um sorry,"he muttered as he turned to walk away.

"My sister made us come,"the taller boy said to Quatre's retreating back. Quatre turned around to face them again and smiled broadly. "Sorry,"the taller boy said again. "I'm Trowa." Quatre smiled widely and walked back to them.

"Hi, I'm Quatre,"he said cheerfully as he shook Trowa's hand. He looked over at the Chinese boy questioningly, awaiting a introduction but not getting one. Trowa elbowed the boy in the ribs and the boy stuck his stuck his hand out angrily for Quatre to shake.

"I'm Wufei,"the Chinese boy said, still looking extremely pissed off.

'I'm almost Heero got lost, Trowa's kinda cute,'Quatre thought happily as he smiled up at Trowa. Trowa smiled back at him, looking equally pleased that they had met. Even though they had just met, Quatre guessed that a smile, even for a boy this cute, was a rare thing.
