His eyes shone clearly across the smoky fog of the bar. Wide - deep coloured. Reflecting all the lights and colours of the room, and absorbing them at the same time. They were hypnotic. Things stood like that, for all of ten seconds. Then he lifted the glass very gently, as if he saluted me. And his mouth twisted into a slow, arrogant smile.
No, I thought.
His head inclined a little, as if he were calling me over. There was no way we could have heard any words over that din.
No, I thought again.
And I pushed carefully past a group of partygoers beside me, shouting and laughing as they handed out bottled beers amongst them, and I walked over to him.
I stopped close enough to him so that no-one else would force their way between us. But far enough apart that we wouldn't touch accidentally. His eyes were still on me, but he'd put the glass back down on the bar. I don't know whether it was the vodka in me, or the astonishing glow there was to those fabulous eyes. But there was an aura that sparked off him like electricity. I didn't even have to touch him to feel it. I felt the current through my whole body.
I guess he looked a little like him. Like Wufei; it was the black hair - the Eastern look. 'Praps that was why I'd been drawn to him.
But that wasn't enough to explain the thrill inside me.
Duo gives way to a sudden impulse - one that seems to be someone else's, as well. And so he's drawn to something - and someone - that he finds both thrilling and unnerving. Heero is like no-one he's met before; he's used to being in control. What develops between them is hot, and fierce and potentially very, very dangerous...
My notes: AU where Duo is a former prostitute working his way toward being an upright citizen and steering clear of his former life of drinking and sex, until he meets a man at a bar he just can't stay away from. Quatre and Trowa are his supportive childhood friends. Lots of hot sex and smoldering interactions here. CW for underage sex, drug use, prostitution, and sex with a teacher, all referenced but not graphically described. CW for references to MCD (Wufei) before the start of the story.
