Wufei hummed softly, settling comfortably into Duo's personal space with a little smile. "Just one?" he teased lightly.

He snorted softly at Reno's warning. "Good, then he doesn't know how far under my skin he got," he huffed a little. He was willing to admit to Duo how upset he'd been, but he definitely wasn't okay with Reno knowing. Duo continued, though, and had Wufei smiling softly. "We are opposites, aren't we? But we cover each other's weaknesses quite nicely, I think." Together they were nigh unstoppable.

His free arm easily went around Wufei's waist comfortably, as if it belonged there.

"It's the same with him and his partner. You ever met Rude? Reminds me more of Heero than you though. Just without the glare. Hard to tell behind those shades though..." A little shake of his head and then Duo grinned and leaned in to softly kiss Wufei's cheek. "Cover each others weaknesses and strengths. And you're my strength." Waxing poetic now, was he? He could blame that on Wufei. He rubbed off on him in the best of ways.

[pilot05]

Wufei shook his head when asked if he'd met Rude, smiling a little at the comparison. "So... like Aerith and Sephiroth," he agreed with a little nod.

And leaned in for a kiss when Duo started in with all that sappy stuff. "If you're not careful, we're going to start attracting bees," he teased with a smile, and took another bite from his bun. "Though, if you keep bribing me with these, I might stay even if the whole house turned into a hive. Poor Shiro would be completely overwhelmed."

[maxwellsdaemon]

"Like those too, yeah." Seemed there was a lot of them around then. Maybe that's what high energy people needed? A calmer, more centred presence to make them feel complete. Duo knew that's what he needed.

He smiled into the kiss, softly returning it too. "Why bees? Why not butterflies?" Laughing, Duo have Wufei a little squeeze before letting him go so he could turn around. The bun was set on the counter so he could pull down cups to make tea. "Shiro'd have the time of her life if a bunch of bugs showed up! She's get round and fat on em. Like one of those buns."

[pilot05]

Calmer, more centered presence? Surely Duo was thinking of someone else. He chuckled warmly as Duo offered butterflies as an alternative. "Because I would mind them far less," he teased lightly. "The point was that I'm willing to put up with unreasonable things to be with you," and stepped away to give Duo room to work as he turned to the tea.

"She probably would. We'd have to change her name to Bao," he grinned. "Maybe I should collect some crickets to set loose in the house for her benefit." Not that she seemed to have much trouble hunting down creepy crawlies as it was.

[maxwellsdaemon]

No, he was thinking of Wufei. Sure he could be a bit high-strung at times, but he could be so down-to-earth and could help bring Duo right back down there with him.

Duo was laughing as he made the tea. "Unreasonable things like me?" He teased. "Don't care let bugs loose in the house, Wu. Otherwise I'm gonna make you hunt them down, not the cat!" No, no bugs in the house, thank you. Except for the ones Shiro brought in wrapped in silk for supper later.

[pilot05]

Said about the man currently sporting a sparkly pink cloud as an accessory. Wufei laughed, too, giving his head a shake. "You're only unreasonable sometimes," he replied lightly, and grinned when he was warned against releasing bugs in the house. "But crickets are lucky. You wouldn't want to curse us to bad luck by refusing crickets, would you? It's like challenging the power of worse, but with cute little creatures that chirp lullabies."

[maxwellsdaemon]

"Only sometimes? Shit, guess I gotta up my game!" Said playfully of course, because Duo was pretty damn happy these days, even with the few ups and downs he and Wufei had had. Generally he felt they were in a good place. Good enough to have talks like this.

"Where'd you get the idea crickets are lucky?" Duo glanced away from the tea to look over at Wufei, brow raised. "Can't be all that lucky if a spider-cat is gonna chase em down and have them for lunch!" He paused, turning back to finishing off the tea as he slowly continued. "But... hearin them outside? That and the rain, kinda like those sounds. I'm a guy used to built up living. Cities and stuff. First time I found myself somewhere with land I had no idea what a cricket or a cicada was and loved the sounds of them chirping. I just don't want that in the house!"

[pilot05]

Wufei snorted softly, giving his head a little shake. "What do you mean where did I get the idea? Doesn't everyone know crickets are lucky?" he asked with a laugh, watching Duo finish up making their tea.

And when Duo looked back at him, the pink sparkle cloud was gone, Wufei's face torn between disbelief and horror.

"You like weather? Planetary weather?"

[maxwellsdaemon]

"Uh, no? Only thing I know is those shits think they know better than you!" Thank you, Pinocchio! That cricket just declaring himself the puppets 'conscience' had always rubbed Duo the wrong way. How did an insect believe for even a second that it knew enough about life to teach someone else? But he also had a feeling that there was a story behind what Wufei was trying to ell him, so he gestured for him to continue. Until the cloud vanished and the look of shock came over his boyfriend.

"Something wrong with that?" Duo chuckled and moved to hand Wufei his tea. "Colony-brat, Wufei. Only ever saw weather in passing. First time I got caught in rain I..." He shook his head at the memory and grabbed his own tea to take it, and himself, back through to the living room. "I love it. Anythin that separates this life from the life I had before is a good thing."

[pilot05]

Wufei blinked, completely confused. "Crickets... know better?" He was reminded not for the first time that he and Duo had come from two very, very different backgrounds. "Crickets have always been considered lucky, where I'm from," he offered, still feeling a little confused.

He accepted his tea and shook his head. "I suppose that's one way to look at it," he agreed reluctantly, giving his head a little shake. They were going to have an interesting day the first time a severe storm rolled through. Duo might have loved them, but they left Wufei terrified.

[maxwellsdaemon]

"You've never seen Pinocchio, huh? Jiminy Cricket, just goes and decides that he's gonna be a sentient puppet's conscience!" Duo had thought it was insane the first time he'd seen that movie. Though the whole movie was kind of crazy and like some fever dream. The bit with the donkey's had been traumatic.

"So you like crickets, huh?" With his own tea in hand, Duo used his other to slip around Wufei's waist and grinned. "Lucky crickets... Heh, guess that makes you my lucky cricket? Being here with you, I've never felt more lucky."

[pilot05]

Wufei shook his head, and snorted softly at the description. "I've never heard anything to indicate listening to a cricket is a good idea," he replied, more than a little amused.

"I like crickets very much," he agreed, and laughed when Duo called him one. "I can't even be mad about that, can I?" he tisked, and leaned in to kiss Duo lightly.
