Wufei wiped the layer of sweat off his forehead as he watched Duo’s body tensing with strain as he lifted a large shovel-full of dirt.  Despite himself he caught himself eyeing the nice view of Duo’s pants tightening over the boy’s rear-end, leaving Wufei with less than honorable thoughts concerning his fellow pilot.
     Cursing his own weakness he redoubled his efforts digging, until his muscles burned horribly from exertion.  It had been Duo’s idea to help the local orphanage in digging the basement for the new addition as a cover for their mission.  Who’d expect a couple of ‘lost’ boys who were merely giving back to someplace similar to where they’d once lived.  Course duo hadn’t mentioned they’d be the only ones available to work on the entire project, including building the addition, pouring the cement, insulating, electrical wiring, and everything else, all the way from painting to roofing.
     He found himself frowning at Duo as the braided boy continued to dig.
     Duo must have felt his eyes burning into this back because he suddenly looked up and upon seeing Wufei’s face, grinned wearily.  “It’s for a good cause Wu-man.  Besides, we’re helping them and they’re helping us, it’s only… honorable.  AND we’re supposed to be enjoying this… helping those who helped us and all… if you keep scowling like that you’ll blow our cover.”
     Wufei dredged up a glare he didn’t feel.  “My name is WUFEI.  Be so kind as to address me as such, and I will make an effort to be pleased about… your arrangements.”  He knew he sounded like an egotistical jerk but if he didn’t keep the distance between them he wasn’t sure just how he’d manage to keep what he was beginning to feel secret.
     Duo responded with a half-hearted smile and a lame, “Sure Wufei.”
     He had to bit his lip to keep from apologizing but his heart thumped painfully in his chest as Duo went back to work.  Following his example he did as well, trying to forget a certain pair of deep violet eyes.
……………………..
     Wufei tried not to groan as he stumbled into the garage towards his cot and collapsed onto the straw-filled mattress.  He was used to hard work but he’d never quite pushed himself to distraction so hard in his entire life and it felt as though every muscle in his body was spasming out of control.  He’d almost managed to drift off to sleep when a hand started messaging his leg, but before he could react his assailant laughed low in his throat making Wufei’s imagination go into overtime.
     “God Wufei, you’re muscles are hard!  What the hell were you doing?”
     Despite himself Wufei grinned ruefully, not entirely sure he wanted Duo’s ministrations to stop.  **I did it in order to forget about you, you baka, but I think the Fates are having fun at my expense.  Talk about your sweet torture.**
     “Hey Wufei?  You okay, if this bothers you I can stop….”
     Before he realized what he was doing he spoke.  “No, don’t.”  He went rigid as he comprehended what he’d said.
     There was a frown in Duo’s voice but the hands didn’t stop.  “I don’t thin you should work tomorrow, your muscles are completely knotted.  I think you pushed yourself too hard.”
     The hands moved up his side and Wufei felt himself being turned over before just managing to squawk out indignantly and sit up, in one fluid motion tossing a blanket over his lap to hide his obvious arousal.  “Maxwell, what the hell are you doing?”
     Violet eyes blinked at him in stunned surprise.  “I was just going to do the muscles on the other side and in order to do that I had to turn you over…”
     Wufei had to virtually drag his mind back from the thoughts Duo’s pouty lips brought, unbidden to his mind.  “Look, never mind.  We both need to get some sleep.  That includes you Maxwell, especially since you’re the one who’s scouting the base in about two hours.”
     Something, Wufei wasn’t exactly sure what, passed over duo’s face and then vanished as if it’d never been there.  “I got to check a couple of things first.  It shouldn’t take too long and IF I come back I’ll try to keep quiet and not bother you.”
     Before Wufei had a chance to reply, the other boy was gone.
……………………….
     Wufei shifted uncomfortably, Duo had been gone for too long as far as he was concerned.  Four hours.  He eyes his watch again, like he’d done every five minutes since the braided boy had left.  He was ready to go looking for Duo if he didn’t come back in the next ten minutes.
     He was starting to get up when the door to their garage room swung open and a figure silently entered, locking the door behind him.
     The sudden relief that flooded through him was shocking but right along with it was a sudden surge of irrational anger, born of fear.  “What the hell were you doing Maxwell?”
     He wasn’t sure what he expected but the cold tone in Duo’s voice sure wasn’t it.
     “My job, Chang.”
     Frowning Wufei sat up.  “What’s that suppose to mean?”
     His only answer was Duo lying down in his cot in the dark.  “Figure it out yourself Chang.  Until you do, shut up, SOME of us have work tomorrow.”
     And Wufei was left to think as Duo turned away, putting his back towards him.
…………………………
     Not for the first time, Wufei cast a furtive glance back at Duo.  Neither of them had taken a break since they’d started at six and it was nearly one in the afternoon.  With an exasperated sigh he dropped the shovel and glared at his fellow pilot.  “Look Maxwell, I don’t understand what’s gotten into you but whatever it is, I don’t like it.”
     Duo turned ever so slightly, dropping his shovel, “No one said you had to like it.”  With that he turned and moved towards the garage where they were staying.
     For a second Wufei couldn’t move but slowly his body began to work and he moved after Duo.  Opening the door he moved inside, only to be thrown back against the closed door, a pair of deep violet eyes captured his own.  He blinked in surprise as a pair of warm, pouty lips descended on his own, lighting his skin on fire and sending sparks cascading up and down his spine.
     The lips pulled away and he found himself locked in Duo’s spell.  The braided boy place a light kiss on his neck, below his ear and spoke in a low husky voice.  “It’s more along the lines of what HASN’T gotten into me Wufei.  You’re a hard guy to seduce.  Short of tying you down, I was running out of ideas.”
     Wufei blinked, his lips tingling.  “Duo…”
     The braided boy laid a gentle finger on Wufei’s lips.  “Don’t.  I’m sorry.  I know you don’t like guys Wufei but… I had to do this… I-I didn’t want to die without knowing what it was like to kiss you.”
     “Die?!”  The word came out harsher then what Wufei’d intended but the sudden worry the word caused, made his heart momentarily stop.
     Duo looked away, backing up and effectively breaking contact.  “Things got a little… uncomfortable there.  But I dot out alright, basically unnoticed… The mission won’t be effected.”
     Wufei laid a hand on Duo’s shoulder, “What happened?  Are you injured?”
     Not for the first time Wufei was shocked out of his shoes as he was tackled to the floor by Duo. Soft lips on his own and a highly talented tongue searching his mouth, despite himself he groaned, deepening the kiss and wrapping his arms around Duo’s slender waist.  It took him a moment to realize something was wrong with this whole business and though reluctant, he forced himself away to stare up into violet eyes darkened with desire and pouty lips swollen from kissing, which only served to create an even more urgent ache between his legs.
     Fighting to regain his equilibrium he mentally splashed himself with cold water.  “Duo something has shaken you.  Not that I mind the after effects in the least but… I don’t want you to do anything that you’ll regret later.”
     Duo’s mood changed almost abruptly.  He erupted into tears right on top of him.  More than slightly confused Wufei hugged the other young man to his chest, gently stroking his hair.
     After a few minutes he pulled away, smiling idiotically, “Sorry Wufei.  Back at the base I got mixed up in some drugs.”
     Wufei’s eyes widened.  “What?!”
     Duo smiled mischievously.  “It was just an aphrodisiac, long-lasting.  I’ll tell you though that that kind of thing REALLY messes with your emotions.”
 “Is it out of your system?”
     Duo purred, snuggling into his neck, “Nope.  My libido’s STILL on hyper-active.”
     Wufei still wasn’t sure that Duo was fully in charge of his actions.  “Duo maybe we shouldn’t…”
     His sentence and his thought were cut off as Duo’s mouth ravaged his own and talented hands roamed over his chest, rubbing his nipples and making him groan against the soft lips.
     When Duo moved away from him to catch his breath, Wufei tried again, reason slipping away from him.  “Duo, please, if we go any further I don’t think stopping will be an option for either of us.  This isn’t even you Duo, it’s the drug.”
     Duo sucked lightly on Wufei’s earlobe, causing him to gasp in pleasure.  “Don’t worry Wu… before I went undercover as a test subject, I tested the stuff in the lab.  I’m only doing what I want to do, it’s just that I am so incredible… HOT right now that I can’t wait much longer.”  As if to prove his point he ground his groin against Wufei’s.
     “Are-are you sure…?”  He managed to choke out as Duo slipped his black silk tank top off, and ran his nimble fingers over the dark skin of his chest.
     “Wu, you’re sexy and I’m going to go crazy if I don’t get laid soon, what do you think?”
     Despite himself Wufei felt himself smirk.  “I think, that you have a valid point.”  With a grace born of his warrior blood he flipped Duo onto his back, pushing his hands underneath his shirt and tearing it off, letting his eyes feast on the expanse of lightly muscled chest.
     Before he could do anything else he found himself on his back staring up into Duo’s grinning face.  “Not so fast Wufei.  This is MY show, I get to show you what I’m made of.”
     The question ‘why’ was on Wufei’s lips but never took form as Duo reached behind his own head and ever so slowly undid his braid, making Wufei bit his lip as the cloud of chestnut locks cascaded around Duo’s shoulders, framing his elfin features.
     Duo leaned forward a soft smile curving his lips.
     Only on word came in close to the breath-taking site Wufei was seeing and with a gentle caress of his fingers against Duo’s cheek he murmured.  “You’re beautiful.”
     Duo chuckled seductively.  “And you’re exotic.”
     Wufei felt himself blush, “No…”
     Duo frowned slightly.  “Yes.  I mean for pities’ sake Wufei even before I left here I was trying to find ways that I could watch you, TOUCH you…”  He slid his hand inside the band of Wufei’s pants, long fingers lightly stroking his arousal and causing Shenlong’s pilot to jerk at the sudden sensation.  “I may be pumped full of a drug that’s making me act first and think later but I could have grabbed ANYBODY to satisfy the urges, but I didn’t WANT to make love to anyone else.  I was trying to ignore it because I didn’t want to ruin our friendship but… I’ve never seen a guy who could look so sexy shoveling dirt or lying in bed with a frown wrinkling his forehead… You know how hard it was not to jump you last night?  Or this morning?  SO I walked away… but you followed me…”  His voice hitched slightly and Wufei saw tears in Duo’s eyes.  This time he forced his body’s reactions to the back of his mind and let his brain take over.
     “Duo.  We can’t do this… don’t get me wrong.  I really want to, but this drug is really messing with you and I don’t want the first time we’re together to be shadowed by an experimental drug.”
     “But…”
     Noting the relief and panic in Duo’s eyes he laid his finger over the other boy’s lips.  “I know you don’t want it this way either but you need to do something about the way your body feels.  I’ll take care of it.”
     Wufei smiled slightly at the adorable, puzzled expression Duo wore and ever so slowly he urged the longhaired boy to lay down on the bed.  Without a word he quickly undid Duo’s pants and slipped off both his underwear and pants.
     “No Wufei.  I don’t, I mean, I oh god I don’t know…”
     Wufei smiled gently.  “It’ll be alright Duo.  Trust me.  We’ll save the important stuff for later, just relax and try to calm down.”
     “I-I’ll try.  God Wu, I’m sorry.  But it was a good plan… They never knew and… God I’m so stupid…”
     “No Duo, you’re not.  You’re just a good soldier, trying to do his best.  Things like this happen sometimes.  Now relax, leave this to me.”
     Before duo had a chance to argue, Wufei took his member into his mouth and gently sucked, marveling at the other’s sudden gasp of pleasure.  Bobbing his head he increased the suction, listening to Duo panting his name.  Using his tongue he played with the tip for a moment before feeling Duo’s hands undo his ponytail and run his hands through his black hair as he increased his speed and felt Duo shudder violently as he came in Wufei’s mouth.  Without thinking Wufei swallowed before looking up at his dazed lover.
     Unsure of what was going on in Duo’s head, Wufei moved upwards, lying next to the other pilot and pulling him close.  “Duo?”
     “Wu?”  The reply was mumbled, tired.
     “Yes love?”
     “Thank-you.  But next time I get to please you, kay?”
     Wufei smiled against Duo’s chestnut hair.  “Of course Duo.  Now get some rest.”
     “Ummm, Wu?”
     “Yes?”
     “Do you think we can get some more of that drug?”
     Wufei frowned, “Why?”
     “It might serve to get Quatre and Heero together if I put it in Quatre’s tea….”
     Wufei smiled softly, “Go to sleep Duo.”
