“High Rolling”
Chapter 15

Duo gazed around the gym area with wide eyes and gave a low whistle. “Wow, this is some set up,” he commented.
“Yeah, it's supposed to be state of the art,” Heero replied.
“Where would you like me to wait?”
Grabbing Duo's hand, Heero tugged him along behind as he made his way through several apparatus and other performers to a spot on the side. “If you sit just here you won't be in anyone's way and should be able to see everything that's going on. I usually spend around thirty minutes warming up, floor exercises first followed by some light weights. Wufei will join us shortly to make sure I'm doing things properly.” Heero added a roll of his eyes to the last comment.
“Okay, I promise to be good and stay right here,” Duo said with a smile and plonked his backside into the chair Heero had indicated.
Once he was satisfied that Duo was comfortable, Heero aimed for the floor mats and let his mind start to slip into the 'zone'.
Duo took a good look at the warm up area, aside from the mats there were weights, bars and other, usual things one would find in a gym along with some items Duo had never seen before. After watching a few performers utilizing the unfamiliar gear, he became a lot more enlightened as to what the various things were for. All related back to the stage performance in some way, those performers using them obviously involved in the more demanding side of the show being as there were things such as wires, thick, silk type ribbons and the like. His attention soon switched back to Heero though and the routine the man was putting himself through on the floor mats.
Blocking everything out of his mind, Heero concentrated on his body and putting his muscles through the series of exercises he knew like the back of his hand. A few deep breaths, flexing and rotating of joints and muscles before commencing a series of moves designed to warm and loosen. Having Wufei as his assistant did have other benefits. The Chinese man was as fitness conscious as Heero and having studied martial arts he was more than well versed in the many types of those arts. He had taught Heero a series of katas, ones that would benefit Heero both in mind and body. Heero had mastered them and found they were perfect for what he needed.
Having loosened up a little, Heero began the first of several katas he regularly used to warm up.
Watching his boyfriend begin to move around the mats, Duo's jaw dropped. The man was so graceful, almost like he was dancing to a tune only he could hear. It was mesmerizing and Duo just sat, entranced as the dance played out before him. So enraptured, Duo didn't hear Wufei arrive and when the Chinese man spoke, he jumped.
“My apologies, Duo. I didn't mean to startle you,” Wufei said.
“That's okay, Wufei,” Duo replied and returned his attention to Heero who was entering the last stages of the kata.
Finishing the kata, Heero took a moment to catch his breath and bring his mind back to the current time frame. He smiled when he spotted Duo still sitting in the chair and looking totally awed. He also noted Wufei standing behind his boyfriend and picking himself up, he walked across to the pair. “Wufei,” he greeted. “Where's Hilde?”
“She opted to remain in the dressing room for now,” Wufei replied, not expanding on the words any further.
Duo gave a grin. He had a pretty good idea why Hilde had decided to stay behind and it was most likely to do with the scantily dressed performers all warming up. He made a mental note to tease her about that later.
“Have you finished your floor exercises?” Wufei asked.
“Yes. I was about to do some weights and the bars,” Heero replied as he took the offered towel and sports drink.
“Then let us proceed. Duo, if you wish to accompany us?” Wufei made a gesture with his hand in the direction of the weights.
“Thanks, I think I will,” Duo replied with a smile and quickly fell into step with the other two men.
*
With Wufei's assistance, Heero completed a set of weights and followed up with some bar work. The bars were exactly like the ones used by gymnasts, Duo noted as he watched Heero put himself through a routine.
“That should be enough,” Wufei announced after Heero had completed a good ten minutes on the bars and handed his charge a towel and the familiar sports drink.
Heero gratefully took the towel and began to wipe away the sweat that ran freely down his neck and torso. After a few swallows of the sports drink, he began a series of warm down exercises before finishing up and approaching Duo.
“That was amazing,” Duo stated as he walked beside Heero and out of the warm up area. “You do that before every performance?”
“Yes. It's important to have the muscles loose and responsive. The type of performance we do is a sort of cross between dance, gymnastics and acrobatics. It can be very taxing on the body which is why we train for roughly six months before the show even premieres. Once you've achieved the level of fitness required and honed the skills you need for your act, it's a case of keeping that level of fitness at all times,” Heero replied. He was touched that Duo seemed to be extremely interested in his job and was more than happy to explain how things worked in the world of the Cirque Du Soleil performer.
“I guess each individual would have a different warm up routine depending on what part they play in the show?”
“That is correct.” Wufei answered this time. “Each act is individual, regardless of whether it is a solo performer, a double or triple act or a group. The various segments to the show require different skill sets and all performers are allocated trainers, coaches and general assistants that are specific to their role and requirements. I happened to get Heero as my charge and being as his is a highly skilled and dangerous act, it's a one on one situation. The main chorus group have a couple of trainers, some of the other performers have their own trainer, like Heero, and others might share one between two or three.”
Duo nodded as his mind processed the information. It made sense to him.
The door to Heero's dressing room appeared before them and the group entered. “I'll go take a shower and then I will need to get ready,” Heero informed his boyfriend.
“No problem,” Duo replied. “Is there anything I can help with?”
Heero gave him a lustful look. “As much as I'd love you to help me clean up in the shower, I fear I'd miss the performance entirely and we'd probably get arrested.”
“Either that or the rest of the cast would be cheering you on and offering advice,” Wufei muttered with a twinkle in his eye.
Duo blushed, Heero looked totally gob smacked whilst a loud burst of laughter came from the chair by the mirror.
“Gotta love your sense of humor, Wufei,” Hilde said as she turned around and snickered at the other two.
“Don't encourage him,” Heero muttered and moved across the small room to collect his towel, toiletries and change of clothes.
By the time Heero had collected his things together, Duo had recovered from his initial shock and was busy teasing Hilde about her absence from the warm up area. “I won't be long,” he said and disappeared from the dressing room, leaving the other three to continue with their banter.

“Wow, you look great, Heero,” Duo enthused when Heero appeared in his costume.
“Thanks. Just got the makeup left to do and I'm pretty much ready,” Heero replied with a warm smile and sat himself down in the chair in front of the mirror.
Both Hilde and Duo watched as Heero applied the makeup. It was interesting to see the transformation, not that there was a lot of makeup involved in Heero's case. Some basic foundation, gloss for the lips and kohl that was applied very thickly around the outline of Heero's eyes. Whilst Heero was applying the makeup, Wufei was busy brushing through the unruly hair and managing to tame a little of the tail that hung down Heero's back.
With the makeup finished, Heero stood, Wufei draping a robe over his shoulders while Heero pulled on a pair of leather gloves.
“Twenty minutes until you're on, Mr. Yuy,” came a call from the other side of the door.
“Thanks,” Heero called back and turned to his guests. “That's my cue to head backstage,” he informed them. “If you want to come along, Wufei will show you where you can watch from the wings without getting in anyone's way.”
“Thanks, that would be great,” Duo replied with a grin and sidled up alongside Heero.
“You sure we're allowed to watch from the wings?” Hilde asked as Wufei took her hand and began to lead her towards the door.
“Of course. As long as you stay in the area I will show you to there shouldn't be any problem at all.”
Hand in hand with their respective partners, Duo and Hilde traversed the backstage area of the theater until they were in the wings area of the stage. Duo's head felt as if it were on a swivel, there were so many things to look at, all the different goings on behind the scenes that he'd never imagined. People were all over the place, from performers getting ready for their act to stage hands hefting pieces of scenery and props around and getting them into position.
“Over here,” Wufei instructed and led them all to an area just off the wings where they were out of the way but could still see the stage. “If you stay here you won't get in anyone's way and will be able to see Heero's act. Now, if you will excuse us for a moment, I need to help Heero finish off his preparation.”
Hilde and Duo nodded, checking out the area they had been assigned to wait and watch in.
“I'll be back shortly,” Heero whispered into Duo's ear and stole a kiss. Leaving a smiling Duo to wait, Heero disappeared with Wufei to finish his preparations.
*
Duo held his breath as the spotlight suddenly came on and illuminated Heero standing on the stage, bar and chains firmly in his grasp. He watched, totally mesmerized as his new boyfriend began his routine, flying around the stage, twisting and turning his body with the aid of the chains and bar. He was just as breathtaking now as he had been when Duo first clapped eyes on him a week ago.
The aerial stunts left him both concerned for his lover's safety and in awe of the man's strength, grace and beauty. The additional knowledge that he was all Duo's served to make his chest swell with pride.
On stage, Heero's mind was completely focused on the task at hand. He pushed all thoughts of Duo to the back of his mind and concentrated solely on the bar, chains and acrobatic moves. The routine was as familiar to him as the back of his hand, but he couldn't afford to become complacent or distracted – the moment he did could mean serious injury or even death.
He flew around the stage area, legs and arms twisting and turning through the chains, soaring above the audience and hearing their gasps and cries of admiration. The sultry smile was in place as Heero danced his way around the edge of the stage, bar and chains still in his grasp before becoming airborne once more.
Soon enough the final part of his act was upon him and Heero was spinning like a top, just the strap around his neck keeping him from plunging back to earth.
“Duo, you need to breathe,” Hilde whispered and poked her boss in the ribs.
Duo scowled. “I am, but it's damn hard when your lover is out there and dicing with death,” he replied.
“Heero will be fine, Duo. He's done this act countless times,” Wufei said. “But if it's any consolation, I feel the same level of anxiety every time he goes out to perform.” Wufei offered a sympathetic smile. “Whilst he may be your partner, he is my charge and also my best friend.”
“Thanks, Wufei,” Duo replied and tried to relax a bit.
Heero had stopped spinning and was coming back to the stage to take his bows for an act well done. The applause and cheering was loud, the audience appreciative of his skills and Heero basked in the limelight for a few moments before giving a wave and dancing from the stage and back into the wings.
Once he knew he was clear of the stage, Heero let the smile drop and bent over at the waist, hands on his knees as his lungs worked overtime to draw oxygen back in and help his body recover from the exertions. Wufei had stepped forward, draping the robe over Heero's shoulders and waiting with the sports drink in hand. Duo and Hilde waited quietly in their place, watching all that was going on.
Duo couldn't help but feel worried when he saw how exhausted Heero was and had to quell his natural instincts to move forward and try to help his boyfriend. Wufei was already there and it was obvious that he knew what he was doing. With this being Heero's job, something he did usually twice a day for five to six days a week, the man would be used to it. So as much as he didn't want to, Duo remained where he was and waited for Heero to recover.
After a couple of minutes, Heero's breathing settled and he stood upright, taking the offered drink from Wufei and swallowing about half the bottle. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and gave a soft sigh. His eyes turned and began to search for Duo, the smile returning to his face when he spotted his lover anxiously waiting where he'd left him when he'd gone on stage. Sports drink in hand, Heero moved across the backstage area and stopped in front of his boyfriend.
“Are you okay?” were the first words that came out of Duo's mouth, eyes scanning the form before him, not that Duo was too sure about what to look for in the case of injury to Heero but feeling better when he didn't pick up on anything obvious.
“I'm fine, just a little tired,” Heero replied and leaning in close, he stole a quick kiss.
“That was just as fantastic as I remember. You are very talented,” Hilde said from the side when the pair separated for air.
“Thank you,” Heero replied with a touch of pink to his cheeks.
“You had lover boy here completely mesmerized, not to mention all hot and bothered,” she continued and gave Duo a friendly slap to the shoulder.
“Hilde!” Duo squeaked.
“Really?” Heero said with a quirk of an eyebrow, one corner of his mouth curving up into a smile.
“Oh yes,” Hilde babbled on, completely ignoring the glare Duo sent her way. “All week at work he's been moping around, and when he's not moping, he's been staring off into space with this dreamy look in his eyes. All he talks about is you; your gorgeous eyes, hot body, dexterous fingers and the size... Mmmph...”
Duo clapped a hand over Hilde's mouth. “I think that's more than enough information from you,” he growled.
“But it's true,” Hilde huffed with a mischievous grin at her boss once Duo had released her.
“Is that so?” Duo questioned and gave the woman a positively evil look. “And what about you?”
“What about me?” Hilde asked suspiciously.
“If I seem to recall correctly all you've done all week is chatter on about Wufei. How good he is at kissing, how great he is in bed, not to mention his tongue and the way he uses it to-”
“Duo!” Hilde had gone beet red by now.
“I'm surprised you actually got any work done this week,” Duo finished, unrepentant in his teasing.
The sound of someone clearing their throat had the pair turning their heads. Wufei and Heero stood watching the pair with amused smiles on their faces.
“I'm great in bed?” Wufei asked with a smirk.
“I have a hot body?” Heero questioned, folding his arms across his chest and cocking a hip.
“Umm...” Duo scratched the back of his neck.
“Ahhh...” Hilde reached an even deeper shade of red.
“So I'm not great in bed then?” Wufei said in response to Hilde.
“What?! Of course you are, you're kind, considerate, passionate and really know how to treat a lady...” Hilde went quiet then, realizing that three sets of ears were listening intently along with three sets of eyes watching.
“Please,” Duo said with a wave of his hand, “continue. Don't let us stop you.”
“Oh you lot are incorrigible!” Hilde huffed and with her nose in the air she stomped off in the direction of the dressing rooms.
“Is she really mad?” Wufei asked with a touch of concern.
“Nah, she's just pissed that we got the better of her in a teasing match. Anyway, I'm sure you can make it up to her later,” Duo said with a wiggle of his eyebrows.
“I think we should head back to the dressing room anyway.” Wufei concluded. “Heero, you need to clean up a little before the finale.” Words said, the Chinese man followed in the footsteps of his girlfriend.
Heero and Duo fell into step behind him.
“You really think I have a hot body?” Heero whispered as they walked.
“Are you kidding? Heero, you have the body of an Adonis.”
“An Adonis, hmm?” Heero murmured.
“Yeah, one that says 'Property of Duo Maxwell' on it.”
* * *
“Where would you like to go?” Heero asked upon returning to the dressing room, freshly showered and neatly dressed in casual clothes.
“A bite to eat would be good,” Duo replied and got up from the chair where he'd been sitting, waiting for Heero to return.
“We can go back to the Bar and Grill we went to last time if you wish?” Wufei stated as he put Heero's costume ready for the stage hands to collect to have it cleaned.
“That sounds lovely,” Hilde stated. “I'm in.”
“Yeah, that's good for me too,” Duo replied.
“Then the bar and grill it is,” Heero said and tossed his towel to the laundry pile, placing his toiletries bag away in the small closet at the same time.
The group made their way from the theater and out into the New York, New York hotel, quickly working their way through the crowds of people and locating the bar and grill. Soon enough each had a burger of their choice in front of them and the conversation became short as they each enjoyed their meal.
“What would you like to do now?” Wufei asked. “The night is still early.”
Duo decided to not point out the fact that it was already past eleven and therefore late by his standards.
“I'd like to go clubbing if that's possible.” Hilde looked at the three men staring back at her. “What? What's wrong with going clubbing? You know, dancing and stuff?”
Duo gave a grin. “Nothing wrong with clubbing at all, Hilde. I just didn't think you'd want to do something like that.”
“Why not? We used to go clubbing quite a bit in the past,” Hilde pointed out.
“Yeah, we did,” Duo said, his tone wistful.
“Why don't you go anymore?” Heero asked, his curiosity piqued.
“It all became too hard once my games were starting to sell like hotcakes,” Duo began to explain. “People started to recognize me. It didn't matter where I went; grocery shopping, clothes shopping, out for dinner or clubbing, people always came up to me and either wanted an autograph, to chat about my games or flirt with me and try to get a date. After I was repeatedly getting hit on, not to mention people trying to grope me and get into my pants at the couple of clubs I used to go to, I gave up going.”
“I can understand your reluctance,” Heero said and stroked his hand down Duo's arm.
“You should be fine here though,” Wufei said. “Not that I'm implying you're not famous,” he added hastily, “but most people here in Vegas are only here to gamble and have a good time. I very much doubt you'd get molested in a club here.”
“Don't be so sure of that, Wufei,” Heero said with a lustful leer at Duo.
“As long as it's only you molesting me I can deal with that,” Duo replied with a heated look of his own.
“Oh, god. Get a room you two,” Hilde grumbled.
Duo laughed.

Having found a night club that suited their tastes in the Luxor Hotel, the group had quickly found themselves a booth and settled in to enjoy the rest of their evening.
The dance floor was a sea of bodies, but Heero only had eyes for one. He knew he was a good dancer, it was a part of his job, but Duo... The man was in a league of his own. Heero found himself on the dance floor with a partner that oozed sex appeal – and he wasn't the only one to notice.
Several patrons, men and women alike paused for a moment to admire the long haired man and his moves.
The heavy beat pulsed through his body from the ground up, the music throbbed through muscle, bone and tissue, his body finding the natural rhythm and swaying along with it. Overhead the lights changed and swirled, striking various color patterns through the dark and smoky interior of the club. Duo lost himself in the music, his body like liquid silk as his hips moved and gyrated to the beat. He knew he was getting admiring glances, but he took no notice; the only person he was interested in was dancing with him in hip hugging slacks, white button up shirt and a sexy look on his face.
The music changed again to a slow, sultry beat and Duo changed his moves accordingly. Vegas was a pretty open minded place so Duo didn't worry about showing affection for Heero. His body moved sensuously against the other man, teasing and tormenting Heero to no end. Mischief danced in bright violet eyes as Duo placed his hands on Heero's hips and brought their bodies closer together. He rubbed silkily against his partner and partook of a quick nibble to Heero's neck before dancing slightly apart and rocking his hips to the beat.
Heero was being driven to distraction, unable to do much of anything other than moan softly and try to keep up with his partner's dance moves.
Several more songs passed and finally Duo decided he needed a break, much to Heero's relief. They wound their way back to their booth where a passing waitress took their order and returned within minutes with an orange juice and soda.
“Whew,” Duo commented and fanned himself with the drink coaster. “I haven't danced like that in ages.”
“I don't think I've danced like that at all,” Heero murmured. “Anyone ever tell you how alluring you are when you dance?”
Duo blushed slightly. “No, you're the first.”
“Well let me tell you just how hot you are out there. No wonder people fall over themselves to try and get a date with you. Some of those moves should be illegal.”
“Don't tell me you were getting all hot and bothered, Heero?” Duo asked with a purr in his tone.
“How could I not with the way you were teasing me,” Heero groaned.
Duo smirked and took a quick look at his watch. “You want to get out of here? Maybe come back to my suite and try out the hot tub?”
Feeling the heat pooling in his groin, Heero did his best not to moan out loud. The mere thought of a naked, wet Duo was almost more than he could handle and it took all his self control not to jump the man here and now. “Now that sounds like something I could definitely handle.”
“I'll just go let Hilde know we're leaving and then I'm all yours.” Duo added a lustful look to his words and disappeared to locate his friend. Within minutes he was back and tugging at Heero's hand.
“You want to catch a cab or walk?” Duo asked as they found themselves outside in the slightly cooler air.
“I think I'd better walk,” Heero replied, “I need a little fresh air after the smokiness of the club.”
“Yeah, I agree.”
Decision made, the pair walked hand in hand along the Vegas strip towards the Bellagio, each man lost in his own thoughts of what they planned to do to the other once they were back in the privacy of Duo's suite.
