Domesticating Duo
Part Six: The Bachelor's Party
"Cheer up, Duo, have another drink." Quatre gestured at the bartender,
having him bring over another beer.
"You know, alcohol's an depressant," Duo commented as he chugged the
glass down. "This is a really sucky bachelor's party, man. Thanks for
nothing."
Quatre rolled his eyes. "What did you want? Strippers?"
"I dunno," Duo blinked his eyes, staring at the girl across the bar.
"Lena?"
"Ughhgh? Whor yoo?" Relena leaned forward to look at Duo, falling off
her stool as she did so.
"Lena, you're in really bad shape."
"Sss…sm fine."
"Is that whiskey on your breath? Lena, really…"
"We should give her a lift home."
"No shit. Okay, you bring the car around to the front, I'll meet you
there with Relena. Then we can all just get home."
"Okay, give me a minute."
Quatre ran out of the bar, Duo heading for Relena. He scooped the
intoxicated girl up, propping her against him. "Come on, Lena, let's
get you back to that mansion of yours."
"Mmm…s'okay. Yurr ah graht frenn, Duuu."
"Yeah, I know."
He dragged her to the front of the bar, where they waited for the other
boy in the heat.
"Ah reeelly graht frenn." Relena looked up at him, then pressed her
lips against his in a sloppy kiss.

"They say blue makes a baby smarter, so you could try decorating the
room with that."
Heero nodded his head at Iria's advice, both of them walking through
the city after a day full of shopping.
"And you should read to it, and talk to it as much as possible, you
know, to stimulate learning and stuff like that. Oh no-"
Heero nearly bumped into the girl as they rounded the corner, where he
caught sight of Relena pressing up against Duo, their lips attached. He
quickly moved back against the wall, eyes wide in confusion. Iria
looked down on him with pity.
"Once a cheater, always a cheater."

"Argh! Relena, get off of me!" Duo pushed away from the girl, at the
same time trying to keep her upright. "You're smashed!"
"Mhmhh…se ssorry."
"God." Duo shook the girl, who had passed out after her apology.
"You're a mess, Lena."
