Beat of Destiny and other Drabble Shorts

The day had started out beautiful enough, but the black
rain clouds soon over took the skies, sending Duo, Wufei and me running for
shelter back at our cabin.

“Shit, whose idea was this anyways?” Duo growled,
stripping off his wet shirt and tossing it into the growing pile of wet clothes.

“That would have been mine.” I snapped out, tossing my
sopping socks towards the pile with a wet thunk.

“Well it sucks.” My longhaired lover drops his jeans to
his knees, trying in vain to kick them the rest of the way off.

“You have anything to say about this?” I turn on my
Chinese lover, discovering him already down to his dark briefs. He shakes his
wet hair out of his face before shrugging.

“Why should I have anything to say? It’s not our fault
that the weather is awful this time of year.” I catch a hint of sarcasm to his
voice.

“How was I supposed to know that it was the rainy
season?” I flop down on the couch, staring at the bare fireplace.

“You forgot to add cold, bug infested, and wild animals
to your list.” Duo adds, wringing out his saturated hair.

 I snort,
shaking my head. “I didn’t think you’d scream like a little girl over a
squirrel.” He glares at me, throwing his braid over his shoulder before
leaving the room and slamming the bedroom door in his wake.

I sigh, sinking further down into the cushions, praying
that the bad weather would end, but knowing it would be endless. I thought about
canceling the rest of our getaway, and just heading back to the city where we
could be miserable in our own home. I feel the cushions on my right sink
inwards, my dark haired lover looking as upset as I am.

“It’s not your fault, Heero.” He wraps an arm around
my shoulders, his eyes straying towards the fireplace as well. “I think
you’re trying too hard to make up for our anniversary.”

“It was ruined.” I whisper, shivering slightly with the
chill inside our cabin. I probably wouldn’t have noticed it was becoming cold
if it wasn’t for the near naked state we were all in.

“Shit happens and there isn’t any way we can stop it
when it does. I’m sure Duo will be back to his old self once he gets some
nookie.” That puts a small smile on my face. Duo was always happy as a lark
after going a few rounds in the bedroom or living room…you get the picture.

“It’s going to be a cold night without any firewood.”
He nods towards the empty wood box near the fireplace. I’ve forgotten to grab
some dry wood in between the rain showers today. 

“I’m sure we can think of many ways to keep ourselves
warm and comfortable.” I noted, catching a gleam in my lover’s dark eyes.

“I’m not sure about comfortable, but warm we shall
be.” He gets up, pulling me along with him to the bedroom door where our other
lover has gone to sulk.

We find Duo stretched across the bed, naked as the day he
was born with a smile on his face, stroking himself slowly.

“And here I thought you guys would never come in here.”
His smile grew along with other parts of our anatomy.

I’m sure you can guess what kept us warm on that cold
night.
