"Duo," she said softly, grabbing my attention again, "we have to send you in, we need someone on the inside to…" Une paused, uncertain of the word she should use.
"To fuck with the system, stir things up and make people talk. You want me to find just how extensive their network is and get to 'know' the top dogs, right?"
She looked slightly relieved as she nodded, "Yes."
"And you know this means I'll be…" Damn, I couldn't even say it. Prostitution, who hasn't done that on L2? But to willingly exploit myself into it?
Her eyes dropped, "We know."
"I see." I whispered, my eyes straying to the brochure again. Yeah, I see exactly, I'm the only fucking agent they have that can really play the part and I'm already trained in military tactics, infiltration and seduction. Heero would never go for it, he's too tense, same for Wufei—and that whole honor shit. Trowa's specialty is blending in and not attracting attention which would be the opposite of what was needed, and Quatre? Well he's just not fit for something like this, he'd be shell shocked by what some buyers do. Not to mention the Winner heir would be recognized immediately nor would his Maguanacs allow the CEO of WEI go be fucked by a bunch of people. Add to it that we are the youngest agents they have, as usually you have to be at least twenty one, and I'm one of the only ones who legally can attend a high school. No, I really am the only one who can do this.
Duo Maxwell ran away from everything, but when Lady Une calls him back for an assignment he can't refuse, things become more convoluted than he ever imagined. Trying to balance being an undercover agent posing as a student at a sketchy school while keeping his friends from knowing what's really happening and keeping his feelings for Heero underwraps isn't as easy as it sounds.
My notes: "Duo was a former prostitute on L2 and still does it to get by" was one of the most common lemon concepts in Gundam Wing fanfics back in the day. This fic is a combination of old and new writing, so you'll see all the tropes, but with a fresh look at it. It has all the consent issues, child prostitution references, kinky BDSM and torture that these kinds of fics used to have, along with the angst and miscommunication with the other pilots who don't understand, but Duo is not woobie here at all. He's competent and not in over his head, which is nice.
