:

Lucrezia Noin was a strong woman with a sometimes too soft heart. Everyone who knew her knew this. Even when her fiance, Milliardo Peacecraft, told her that he loved her, but since his last mission with Duo Maxwell, a month ago, he realized that he also had feelings for the braided man. He told her that these feelings had only intensified and he felt it was only right to end what they had now before he done something he would regret. Something that would hurt everyone.

Noin took it all like the soldier she is.

She wished Milliardo luck and love. Noin even helped him move all of his things from the room they had once shared, to the spare room down the hall. While they were moving Milliardo's clothes, Noin had even told him that if Duo returned the blonde’s feelings, that he would always be welcome because this was still Milliardo's home.

This all happened 18 months ago. Milliardo and Duo have been together for 17 of those months. Noin had realized that her still best friend had yet to confront duo with his feelings, so she asked him 'Why?'.

Milliardo had told her that he was thinking of her and allowing her time to adjust to everything. Noin told him that she was adjusted and wanted him to be happy. She also said that if he did not talk to Duo, she would.

He called Duo once she left the room.

When the two first got together, Noin noticed that they were doing their best to avoid her and when the three of them were in the same room, the couple made a point not to touch or even look at each other. This made Noin feel like she was some how standing in the way of the love she could see when they did not notice her right away.

So she invited Duo over for dinner and would not take no for an answer.

After dinner, Noin made it very clear that she might very well be their biggest supporter. She told them that she knew a lot of people were giving them a hard time. Some even say that they were seeing each other behind her back. Of course, no one said any of these lies to their faces. Their closest friends were more confused about the whole situation then anything, but they supported the relationship when they found out that Noin was fine and no one done anything unfaithful.

They had good friends.

Once Duo started to spend more time in their home, Noin could tell that things were as they should be. The couple was truly happy and they did not shy away from one another, no matter who was around.

About a year ago, Duo spent the night for the first time. Noin was not surprised by this. She actually wondered why they waited so long for a sleepover. She knew Milliardo had never spent the night at Duo's apartment. The Lovers did seem pleased and even more relieved when Noin acted like Duo was part of her Saturday routine and that nothing was out of the ordinary.

She made enough pancakes and sausage links for three, there was a full pot of coffee that morning instead of the usual half pot and after she took her shower she told Duo that she put out clean towels for him if he wanted a shower as well. While Duo took advantage of her kindness, Milliardo had given her a hug, a kiss on the cheek and a thank you before her went to join his now wet and naked lover.

Noin knew that the friendship she had with Duo was even growing after that. The braided man had even stopped by once just to ask her out to lunch and some shopping. She enjoyed herself just as much as the energetic young man. Going out for lunch and shopping quickly became a tradition for them. They would get together every second Saturday of the month, if work did not step.

Also since the first night Duo stayed over, Noin noticed that he was spending more and more time at their home. Four months ago he spent almost a whole week with them. When he did go home, she sat Milliardo down for a talk. Before she could tell him what she wanted, he apologized for Duo overstaying his welcome and that he would talk to him.

She told him that he should talk to Duo, but to ask if he would like to move in. She told him that he had been around so much lately that she was sure it would workout for the time being and that there was more then enough room. She even offered to give them the master bedroom, but Milliardo would not hear of it.

Duo had moved in within the next week.

For Noin, everything in her world seemed normal. Not the normal she once thought her life would be, but a normal she grew to love because everyone in her life seemed to be happy. Milliardo and Duo could not be doing better. Sally Po and Lady Une have been married now for three years and are planning on adopting a child. Relena and Heero Yuy are expecting their second girl. Trowa Barton and Quatre Raberba Winner are actually on their honeymoon. The two have been together forever and never saw a need to marry, until they found out that they would have to be so to adopt. If they ever decide to have children. Then there is Chang Wufei. He might not have anyone to go home to, but he seemed content to help train Preventers who needed extra hand-to-hand combat and going on missions when needed.

Noin is happy, because her friends are happy.

:

Today started like any other Thursday. Noin was the first one up. She went downstairs and started the coffee pot before she returned upstairs for her shower. Once she put her dirty towels in the hamper, she put clean towels out for Milliardo and Duo. On her way out of the bathroom ready for the day, she saw the lovers leave their room and walk her way.

“Good morning, boys.” She said cheerfully. “Enjoy your shower.”

“Thanks, Lu. We will.” Duo grinned as he pulled Milliardo into the bathroom and shut the door.

'Lu'. Noin still was not use to the name. No one called her it but Duo. He first called her 'Lu' three months ago and nothing else since. She figured it was his way of saying he saw her as family. All of his closest friends had nicknames and she knew for a fact they were all his family. Now, so was she.

Noin was just putting the last plate on the table when the two, now clean, men walked into the kitchen. She then walked over to the coffee pot and made them each a cup.

“I'll get mine.” Duo took a cup and walked to the refrigerator to add almost as much milk to his cup as their was coffee. He then walked to the table to join Milliardo.

“Thank you.” Milliardo said as he took his black coffee. “Eggs, bacon and sausage?” He raised an elegant eyebrow at his friend. “Someone must be hungry.”

She laughed. “I know you are leaving early for a mission in the morning and thought you could use the extra energy.” Noin then took a drink of her own black coffee that she added a spoon full of sugar to and winked at Duo over her cup. “You said you could be gone for six days, Milliardo.”

Milliardo smiled. “You're too good to us, Noin.”

She just waved it off as she finished her plate and walked over to put it in the sink. “If it was true, I would not have you guys cleans the dishes everyday.”

Noin then walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs to the bathroom to brush her teeth and to apply a light pink lipstick. She then went to her room to grab her briefcase. She was in charge of choosing who goes on what mission and usually brings her work home with her. She could also put her things in the briefcase, so she does not have to carry a purse.

She then headed back downstairs and headed towards the living room where she usually waited for her friends to finish getting ready. Today however, Milliardo and Duo were already there. Noin has seen them touchy-feely and kissy before, but this was way beyond that. She could see that the two had become one and for some reason, this frustrated her more then anything.

“I'll wait in the car.”

She didn't wait long enough to see what they did or hear if they had anything to say. Noin just walked to the front door, picked up the car keys off the stand there and then walked outside. She put the keys in the ignition and then moved to the back seat, leaving her door open to allow air in.

It didn't take long for the two men to join her in the car. Milliardo and Duo both tried to apologize for their behavior, but Noin always replied the same:

“It's fine.”

But all three knew it wasn't.

Noin was always surrounded by the love that all her friends enjoyed, a love Milliardo knew he stole from her. He knew she was genuinely happy for him and everyone else, but he was afraid that seeing him and Duo as intimate as they were in the living room might have been too much for his best friend.

Once they reached Preventers HQ, Milliardo could almost see Noin vibrate with her frustration. He knew she needed to let it out or it could only end badly. So, he suggested the only thing he thought she could do to help herself.

“Noin, why not stop at the gym before you go to your office?” He asked as they walked to the elevator. “I know how much you enjoy morning workouts.” Milliardo then hit the down button once they reached the elevator, which would not lead them to their offices.

Noin saw Milliardo push the button that would take them to level B3. “Looks like I'm going down to the gym.”

“Don't worry, Lu, a little workout and the rest of the day will fly by.” Duo encouraged as the elevator doors opened by the locker rooms.

“Yeah, I'll see you two later.” She then walked into the girls locker room. She walked to her locker and changed out of her navy business skirt suit with lilac silk dress top and beige three inch heels for her mid-calf length, skintight, dark purple pants and oversized aqua t-shirt that hit just below her bottom. Along with her white athletic shoes.

Noin then walked out to the empty gym and started on the treadmill, just to get her heart rate up before she moved on to something more challenging. When she was ready to move on, Noin walked around looking at all the equipment that was available to her. Just as she settled on free weights, she heard someone enter the gym.

She turned around, not too surprised to see Chang Wufei in his white workout pants and those blue slipper like shoes he prefers to wear.

While on the treadmill, Noin had time to think about where her frustration really came from. She came to the conclusion that she was not upset so much about the lack of love in her life, but the lack of a lover.

And she was definitely aware that Wufei was not wearing a shirt.

“Hmm. No one's usually here this early.” Wufei said as he walked over to the open area that was used for sparring. He then began to stretch.

“I needed it this morning.” Noin then picked up one of the 20 pound weights in her right hand and started her reps, all while trying to forget that their was a shirtless male mere feet away.

The two done there own thing for a good hour, until Wufei spoke once more.

“For someone who needed this, you don't seem to be exerting much energy.”

Noin had been just standing there thinking of what to do next when he spoke up, so she walked over to where he stood at the sparring mattes. “Well, I don't really like punching bags.”

“How about we spar?”

“I don't think that's a good idea.” She turned to walk away from him. “Besides, I thought you didn't fight the weak?”

“You are not weak.”

She turned back to look at him. Noin could tell he was speaking the truth as he saw it. “Thank you.”

Wufei crossed his arms and narrowed his dark eyes at her. “Idiot woman. Don't thank me for telling the truth. You were in the middle of the war, just like the rest of us.”

Noin walked closer to him and watched as he took a fighting stance. Once she was close enough she took a stance of her own. “Ready.”

He was quick and hard from the very first throw he threw at her. He was not that surprised that she met everyone and even threw a few of her own. When Wufei suddenly dropped down on the ground and kicked her legs out from under her, he was surprised that she was able to move her legs quick enough in the air that she brought them down on either side of his and then quickly twisted as she sat up.

Wufei looked at her with wide eyes as she sat on his thighs, breathing heavy. “How did you do that?”

“Good muscle control and flexibility.” She rubbed her own thigh and winced slightly. “I don't recommend trying it.”

Noin felt Wufei's legs shift slightly under her. She also shifted to find a more comfortable spot. That was when she decided she should have got off him instead.

Both his hands moved to her thighs to keep her from moving any closer to his lap. He could feel the muscles under his fingers jump and then he saw her move forward. She placed one hand on his chest and one on his stomach as she bent her taller, lean body down and placed her lips on his.

As soon as her lips touched his, Wufei turned his head to the side. “What do you think your doing?” He felt her stiffen before she set up. As Noin went, he could feel her gliding the hand on his chest to join the one on his stomach.

It took all of his training to keep his body under control.

“I'm sorry.” Noin looked down to where his hands still held her in place. “I just realized before you came in here that I'm frustrated from the lack of love in my life.”

“I don't love you, Noin.”

She looked up into his eyes with her own filled with heat that the adrenalin their spar awoke. “I did not necessarily mean the emotional.”

Wufei just stared at the older women. “Are you asking me to sleep with you?”

Noin quickly moved off Wufei and stood with her back to him. “I was hoping I wouldn't have to ask.” She then headed to the girls locker room.

It took Wufei all of two seconds to realize a friend was asking for a favor and he should help her. He then caught up to her right as she reached out for the door. Wufei reached around her and took hold or her outstretched hand and turned her to face him. Without even thinking about it, he pulled her down for a kiss.

She can't say she didn't enjoy his kiss, it was just awkward being almost a head taller then him. When she felt him nip at her bottom lip, she eagerly opened herself to him and lost all thought of awkwardness.

Wufei still held her wrist were he pulled her down for their kiss, but he moved his free hand up behind her head and weaved his fingers through her short hair.

Noin could not stop the moan as he played with her hair, she could also no longer keep her free hand to herself. She moved it behind him and ran it back and forth along the top of his waistband. She was rewarded with another nip to her bottom lip as he pulled away slightly.

As she felt his lips travel lower, first along her jaw and then to her neck, her hand moved up and around his side along his ribs and up to rest on his shoulder after gliding across his chest.

Without warning, Wufei stepped away from her and also dropped both his hands. “We can't do this.”

Noin placed her hand on Wufei's chest. “You don't have to do this if you don't want to. It was a spur-of-the-moment idea for me. So, I wont be mad or anything.”

He covered her hand with his. “I just don't think this is the time or place.” He held onto her hand as he moved it away from his chest. “This is a public place and we both have work to do.”

She sighed as she pulled her hand free from his. “You're right. This was a silly idea anyway.” She gave Wufei a soft smile. “You did help me with my frustration.” She then walked into the ladies locker room.
