What's Not to Use?

Pairing: 3x4

Chapter 3: Used Kindness
~*~

Four days have passed and things were quiet again. So quiet that two of the pilots decided to do something about it. It was around noon, and Quatre and Duo were out at the pool having a little fun.

\"Jump!\" Duo cheered from the water while Quatre was up on the high dive.

Quatre peered over the edge of the diving board down at the water. \"How did I let you talk me into this? I don\'t like the high dive.\" he yelled back, reluctant to move.

\"If you can jump out of a burning mobile suit you can handle a ten foot dive! Now jump!\" Duo goaded on.

\"Well then I didn\'t have a choice.\" he pointed out stubbornly. \"But if it will make you happy.....\" Quatre backed up and charged forward. He bounced twice on the board then jumped off, but what Duo didn\'t expect was that the blonde turned two somersaults before diving in the water gracefully.

\"Damn, Q! I didn\'t know you could do that!\" Duo said in awe when Quatre surfaced.

The blonde reached up, and pulled his wet bangs out of his eyes. \"You never asked.\" Quatre grinned.

Duo swam over to him and splashed him. \"Why did you act so scared of it?\" he scolded.

The blonde splashed back. \"Because I didn\'t want you to make a big deal about it.\"

As they floated in the water, they lightly regarded each other for a moment....

\"Quatre.\"

\"Duo.\"

With two loud shouts, they both grinned and started splashing each other like there was no tomorrow.

A tall, lithe figure slipped through the main entrance of the mansion. Quietly he slinked around the first floor in search of something. When he reached the kitchen, he waited outside the door and listened to the conversation going on.

\"Mary, where are the good knives?\"

\"In the second drawer to the left.\"

\"Oh yes..... It\'s been awfully quiet around here..... And boring.\"

\"Well, Mother, you told Quatre and Duo to tone down their antics.\"

\"I don\'t see how that would make everything just freeze up...... Where be those two anyway?\"

\"They said they were going over to the pool.\"

\"Pool? I never did see the use of such a thing. Waste of water, if you ask me.\"

\"Well have you ever been in one?\"

\"Goodness sakes no. What would I be wanting in a concrete tub?\"

\"I think it would be quite refreshing on a muggy day like this. Are you done with their lunches?\"

\"Yes, they’re right there.\"

\"Alright, I\'ll go get them. No place to eat out there.\"

\"Knowin\' those two, they would eat on the ground.\"

\"Oh quite being so crabby. They\'re nice boys. And you may not want to admit it but you like those boys, and I\'d bet that you would give your teeth just to be out there with them.\"

\"Oh be off with you.\"

\"Fine, Mother, but you know that I\'m right.\"

The figure quickly hid as Mary walked out of the kitchen. Without being seen the figure followed the woman quietly, and stuck to her like a second shadow.

\"Oh, you\'re gonna pay for that, Duo!!\" Quatre shouted as he chased Duo around the pool.

Duo jumped over a lawn chair, and tried not to slip as he ran. \"It was just a joke!\" Duo yelped.

\"It wasn\'t very funny!\" Quatre yelled back.

\"That\'s a matter of opinion!\" Duo laughed. Soon Duo found himself climbing up the high dive. When he got to the diving board he saw that he was caught between a mad Quatre and a wet place.

Quatre soon climbed onto the board as well and got an evil smile. \"Your turn to jump.\"

He inched to the very edge of the board, his heels almost off of it. \"Q.... Qua.... Quatre...\" Duo said nervously as he looked between his two options.

Quatre came closer to him with an even bigger smile. \"Wh.... wha.... What, Duo?\" the blonde boy mocked.

\"Come on, Q! It was just a little joke.... I didn\'t mean anything by it.\" Duo gave a lopsided grin and a nervous chuckle.

\"Oh I know that.\" Quatre stated plainly with a sweet smile.

Duo sighed and relaxed on sight of that. \"You do?\"

\"Of course......\" The blonde\'s sweet smile turned to an evil grin in a second. \"But that doesn\'t mean I\'ll let you get away with it.\" Quatre took a step forward and jumped on the board.

His balance shot, he began to wave his arms quickly in vain. \"WHOA!!\" Duo fell backwards off the board and landed in the water below with a large splash.

When he looked over the board, Quatre was rewarded to see Duo spluttering about in the water like a cat that had fallen in a tub. \"Oopps! I slipped.\" Quatre giggled.

\"I did not appreciate that!!!\" Duo yelled from the water.

\"Neither did I when you tried to yank my swim trunks off!!\" Quatre shouted back.

\"What\'s all this I hear?\" a soft voice suddenly spoke up. Startled, their attention is directed to the side of the pool. \"Huh? Oh hi, Mary. Just paying Duo back.\" Quatre waved cheerfully.

Mary had her hands on her hips, and looked very amused. \"So I can see.... Well I came out here to fetch you. Your lunch is ready and waiting for you in the dining hall.\" Mary said as she giggled slightly at their previous conversation.

At the mention of food, the previous stunt was forgotten. \"Alright! Lead the way!\" Duo chirped as he climbed out of the pool. \"Let\'s go, Q!\" He called out to the blonde as he grabbed one of the large towels waiting on a lawn chair and began to dry off.

The blonde sat down on the diving board with his legs dangling off the edge and shook his head. \"Nah, I\'m not really hungry right now. I think I\'ll swim a while longer.\"

\"You sure?\" Duo sounded skeptical as he moved to stand next to Mary.

Quatre waved him on. \"Yeah, go on, I\'ll be fine here.\"

\"Alright, move it, Mary.\" Duo ordered playfully.

Mary glared at him. \"Keep talking like that and you\'ll be fixing your own lunch.\" she stated, which earned a pout from the American.

The two on the ground then heard giggles coming from the high dive. \"Boy, you two are soooo intimidating.\" Quatre laughed.

Mary then pointed at the blonde. \"It goes for you too, little master.\" she quipped.

\"Oooo! Rich kid gettin\' knocked down by the help! Sock it to him, Mary.\" Duo encouraged laughing.

A light blush tinting his pale cheeks, the pale boy folded his arms and grunted. \"Traitor.\" Quatre mumbled.

\"Come on, Mary.\" Duo chuckled and soon he and Mary walked back into the mansion, leaving the blonde to himself.

When they were gone Quatre smiled and laughed. \"Those two never cease to amaze me. Well, now that I\'ve got the pool to myself I can practice my better dives.\" The blonde got up and stretched for a moment, then moved to a starting position at the front of the board. He charged forward then jumped of the board, and did a beautiful triple spinning somersault before landing in the water with hardly a splash. He quickly surfaced and threw back his head to fling his bangs out of his face.

The sound of hand clapping startled him and made him freeze in place.

\"Nicely done. Doubt even I could do better.\" a velvet voice stated.

\"What?\" Quatre turned around quickly in the water, but saw no one.

\"What\'s wrong? Don\'t you recognize my voice?\" the voice asked, sounding deep even and emotionless.

He instantly knew who it was, so the Arabian sighed softly. \"Oh... It\'s you. You scared me!\" Quatre scolded to the empty air.

\"Sorry. Mind if I join you?\" the voice asked, tone unchanged.

The blonde swam to the middle of the pool so he could see where his company was coming from. \"Does it matter?\" Quatre smirked.

\"No, you\'ve never stopped me.\" the voice seemed to chuckle.

\"I can\'t stop you.\" the blonde replied calmly.

\"I know.\"

Quatre smiled. \"Well? You coming or not?\"

Then someone crossed his vision and Quatre turned to see a tall boy with one green eye showing. He was only wearing what looked like just a pair of green boxers, which gave Quatre a clear view of his well toned body.

\"Of course.\" Trowa gave a small smile then jumped in. He swam over to the blonde boy and the two just floated there as they looked at each other. Trowa\'s unibanged style hair was now plastered back, and Quatre could see both of his deep green eyes......

And right now he saw a deep hunger in those eyes.

Quatre tried to start out with polite conversation. \"How did your mission go?\" he asked curiously.

\"Not bad.... You know that I didn\'t come here to talk.\" Trowa said calmly as his eyes started burning with desire.

Disappointed that this was only \'the usual\' he sighed deeply. \"I know. You and the word talk don\'t mix well.\" Quatre chuckled.

\"Then you won\'t mind if I just get to the point.\" the French boy stated instead of asked.

\"I never do.\" Quatre smiled.

\"Good.\"

Trowa then grabbed the small blonde and pulled him to his chest in a crushing embrace. Their mouths found each other and they started kissing desperately. Quatre moaned loudly in Trowa\'s mouth, knowing that was what he wanted. The more Quatre moaned the more desperate Trowa became. The water splashed around them as they made out, and every second the waves got bigger as they forced more of themselves into the moment. Trowa began to rock his hips against Quatre\'s, and Quatre began to do the same. Soon they were doing an erotic form of synchronized swimming.

Trowa suddenly stopped and pulled away. \"Quatre.....\" he said, his breath came in ragged gasps.

Quatre, gasping too hard to answer, only nodded so Trowa reached his hands under the water to the blonde\'s hips. Slowly he pulled down the sky blue swim trunks and they floated lightly down towards the bottom of the pool as Quatre reached out and did the same to Trowa. With full skin to skin contact, the French boy became filled with desire and a burning lust that was clawing at his entire body. Knowing that they would need something to support them, Trowa wrapped his arms around the blonde and began to swim over to the side of the pool. Once there, Trowa pushed the blonde back against the smooth marble tiled wall. Trowa then began to kiss Quatre up and down his slender pale neck.

\"Quatre, you are so kind..... So gentle..... I want that.\" the French said in between kisses.

He lightly held on, and let the French boy do all the work, letting him take what he needed. \"Ummmm...... You can take whatever you want from me.... Trowa...\" Quatre moaned softly.

\"I plan to, my kind angel.\" Trowa growled. He slammed Quatre back against the wall and crushed his own body against the blonde. The French boy was about to steal another kiss when he heard a door shut. His head lifted from his task as he looked over the blonde\'s shoulder and saw a certain American walking towards them. \"Damn it.\" he growled angrily.

\"What?\" Quatre asked puzzled.

\"It\'s Duo.\" he mumbled as he glared at the unsuspecting Duo.

Quatre tried to keep from laughing. \"Duo? What do you want to do then? Hide or let him catch you?\" Quatre asked, but hoped he would say hide.

\"Hide, but were can I go without him seeing me?\" Trowa looked around, but found nothing that could be used for cover.

\"That\'s simple, dive under the water and keep close to the side.\" the blonde said calmly.

Trowa thought about it for a second. \"Alright.\" He looked over to see how close the American was getting. \"See if you can get him to leave soon. I can only hold my breath for three and a half minutes.\"

Quatre shrugged. \"I\'ll try.\" With that Trowa dove under and Quatre leaned back against the wall, acting like he was just relaxing.

\"Hey, Q! Enjoying yourself?\" a cheerful voice rang out.

Quatre tilted his head back to see an upside-down Duo. \"Yeah. You done with lunch already?\"

The American suddenly pouted. \"No, Gladdiss made me come back out and get my shirt and sandals before I ate.\" Duo grumbled.

That made the blonde chuckled. \"That sounds like her....\" Quatre trailed off when he felt something warm press against his shaft. ~Trowa is either getting frisky, or he wants me to hurry up...~ The blonde smirked at the thought.

\"How much longer you gonna stay out here?\" Duo asked as he gathered his things.

\"I don\'t know..... Half an hour.....\" Just then Quatre felt a wet warmth surround his length. \"Maybe longer.\" he added.

\"Okay....\" Duo looked at the blonde seriously. \"Quatre, I need to ask you something.\" he started.

Quatre felt Trowa turning around. Soon Quatre was facing Duo, and Trowa was against the wall. The blonde felt two hands come around and grip his ass tightly as the warmth slowly teased him.....

But the blonde acted like everything was normal. \"What is it Duo?\" He propped himself on the edge of the pool with his elbows.

\"It\'s about Heero...... He\'s acting weird, even for him.\" Duo trailed off as he thought about it.

\"How so?\" Quatre asked, while trying to fight off the shiver that went through him.

\"I can\'t really explain it but he is acting more......\" he searched for the right word \"Relaxed, you know, not his usual cold stoney self. I thought I actually saw him smile yesterday.\" Duo explained, not believing it himself.

\"Duo, maybe Heero isn\'t as cold as he seems. Maybe he was acting like his real self.\" the blonde suggested, but he knew the real reason.

\"I don\'t know.....\" The braided boy mumbled.

\"Don\'t worry about it, Duo. I\'m sure there\'s a reasonable explanation for it.\" he reassured. \"Now go on before Gladdiss decides not to feed you.\" Quatre laughed.

Violet eyes widened at the thought of going hungry. \"Alright. I\'ll see ya later.\" Duo smiled then turned to leave.

\"Kay, bye.\" Quatre said cheerfully. The blonde watched the American go inside then he let out a deep sigh mixed with a moan as he reached down into the water and touched Trowa\'s shoulder lightly. He felt his shaft slip out of the warmth and back into the cool water, which made him tremble and gasp.

Trowa surfaced and looked at the blonde. \"Did you like that?\" he asked with a smirk.

Blonde brows knitted together in slight annoyance. \"You could have given me a little warning..... But other than that yes.\" Quatre blushed slightly.

Trowa got an evil gleam in his eye. \"Good, but I\'m not done yet.\" The French boy grabbed the Arabian again and lifted him out of the water.

\"Trowa!\" Quatre yelped in surprise.

He turned and sat the blonde down on the edge of the pool. \"Shush. You want Duo to hear you?\" Trowa chided.

His aqua eyes closed tightly for a moment. He never wanted his friend to know about any of this. \"What are you doing?\" Quatre asked in a lower tone.

\"Just this.\" Trowa raised himself out of the water a little then bent over quickly, capturing the blonde\'s hardened length in his mouth.

Quatre gasped then moaned. \"Trowa... Mmmmm.....\" He began breathing faster and closed his eyes again.

Trowa moved his arms around the blonde\'s waist, and held on to him for leverage while Quatre\'s hands slowly came up to Trowa\'s head. He gently tangled his fingers in the wet, brown hair and pushed him down further onto his aching member. Trowa smiled to himself and went along with the pressure on the back of his head. Every time Quatre moaned or gasped, Trowa would take more of him in his mouth and suck harder. When Quatre\'s entire length was in the green eyed pilot\'s mouth, he began a rhythm of sucking that drove Quatre mad. The blonde was gasping and moaning loudly, his hands fisted tightly in the other\'s hair, and was cursing himself the entire time.

~Damnit, I should have gone in with Duo when Mary came. I really, really hate this. He can\'t tell that I\'m faking it. Then again none of them could tell I was faking it. I wish that I could stop them, but every time I try I wind up twisting it around and start encouraging them. I wish that I wasn\'t a damn empath..... Then maybe I wouldn\'t be here now..... One of the reasons I became a gundam pilot was to get away from this..... Looks like I just walked into it.... Please let him be quick.~

With one last, fake, cry he came, spilling his essence into Trowa\'s waiting mouth. The French boy swallowed every drop then let the diminished member slide from his mouth, earning a last shiver and moan.

Trowa then pulled Quatre back into the water and held him close. \"Now did you enjoy that?\" He asked in a husky voice.

\"Yes.... Very.....\" Quatre said, still gasping.

Trowa smiled. \"Good. I want to try something new. We haven\'t done it in a pool before.\" Trowa got another evil gleam in his eyes.

Every one of the blonde\'s senses told him that this was going to be dangerous. \"What do you want to do, Trowa?\" Quatre asked softly.

\"How long can you hold your breath?\" Trowa answered a question with a question.

\"About three minutes..... Why?\" the blonde asked puzzled.

\"I want to take you under water.\" the French purred.

His eyes widened. \"Under water?! Alright, if you want to.\" Quatre smiled, but inside was screaming no.

\"Alright. Swim down to the bottom.\" Trowa ordered with a smile.

\"Okay, Trowa.\" With that Quatre took a deep breath and ducked under the surface.

Quickly he swam to the bottom, with Trowa close behind. When he reached the bottom he turned and looked up. Quatre had never took the time to see what the bottom of the pool looked like until now. He was surrounded by a translucent pale blue, and the light from above made all sorts of patterns of lights and shadows. He thought it was very beautiful.

Just then two green eyes filled his vision. Trowa began to push the blonde down on the concrete floor of the pool. It was slightly rougher than the wall, but Quatre couldn\'t complain now. The French boy parted the bond\'s legs and positioned himself at the blonde\'s opening. Quatre closed his eyes tightly and waited for Trowa to penetrate him. A split second later, Trowa thrust forward with all his strength. Quatre wanted to scream, but held it in, knowing that it would just waste his air. The green eyed pilot then began to pound into the small blonde, them being under water made that much easier for him to move.

The blonde tried to blank out his mind and concentrate on the pain and the muffled silence of the water. Trowa got into a steady rhythm and was close to the edge. With a few more thrusts Trowa stiffened and released his seed deep within the small blonde. Quatre opened his eyes and saw familiar images flash in front of him, reliving Trowa\'s past for maybe the twentieth time. Even though he knew these images by heart, it still hurt just as much as the first time. When it was over, Quatre felt weak and tired, but snapped out of it when he remembered that he was still under water. Trowa pulled out and began to swim back to the surface, towing Quatre behind. They both surfaced gasping for air.

When Trowa had enough control over his breath he began to speak. \"Oh my God, Quatre... That was so wonderful...... That was probably the best time yet.\" Trowa breathed out. He felt as if everything was a million miles away.

While he thought the exact opposite, the pale boy managed a weak smile. \"You...... You think so?...... I\'m glad...... That....... That I\'ve pleased you..... Trowa.\" Quatre gasped out.

Quatre swam over to the side and leaned on it to regain some of his strength. After a few seconds he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see a pair of sky blue swim trunks in his face.

\"Here.\" Trowa said emotionlessly.

Quatre took them and smiled. \"Thanks.\" he began to put them on as Trowa got out of the pool, his green boxers back on.

\"Thank you, Quatre. I\'ll be going now.\" Trowa said flatly and walked away.

Quatre watched him disappear into the woods close by, and sighed. \"I think I like him better when he\'s trying to fuck me.\" he concluded with a laugh, then sighed again. \"I am so disgusted with myself I think I could just drown myself right now.......\" the blonde mumbled as he looked at the water. After a moment, he slammed his fist into the water, causing a loud splash. \"Oh who am I kidding? Every time I try to kill myself I fail... Besides, it would hurt Duo too much if I did..... Duo.....\" Quatre got a small smile at the thought of his only friend. \"He\'s the only one who doesn\'t ask very much of me He always wants to help me and do things for me.. Why though? What did I do to deserve such treatment?\" Quatre wondered out loud. \"Oh well, I think I\'ll go change and go to sleep for ten hours.\" he laughed then lazily got out of the pool.
