Duo gleefully tore his brand new toy out of its box and set it up on the living room table. He plugged it into the nearest wall socket and turning it on so it would be warmed up by the time the other pilots returned from their grocery run. He chuckled, turned out the lights in the room, and went to amuse himself in other ways until it was ready.
A few hours later found Duo passing by the darkened living room, only to catch sight of his now fully functioning toy. Stopping in the middle of his stride, the braided boy gazed in wonder. He knew that this would be amazing, but damn...
Ten minutes later the other pilots entered the house through the back door, carrying various bags full of food and interesting things from Hardware stores. Well, except for Heero. He had been designated to run to the drug store for...essentials. No one messed with his death glare when he was buying strawberry flavored lube or glow in the dark condoms. Thus, his sole task was usually the drug store.
"Duo! We're home! Did you manage to figure out what was wrong with Deathscythe's...whoooooaaaaaa," Quatre broke off as he entered the living room, entranced by the object sitting in the middle of the coffee table.
"What's wrong, Quatre, you look--" Trowa started, coming up behind the blond. He too, caught sight of the new toy.
Duo didn't glance away from his gazing, "Hiiiii.....isn't it cool?"
"Yeahhh....I didn't know something could move like that," Quatre whispered, plonking down on the couch beside Duo. "Trowa can't even bend like that..."
If anyone had bothered to look at the tall boy, they would have been treated to a light blush coloring his cheeks. Of course, they were too transfixed by other, more shapely things to look away long enough to note such things. Trowa came and sat on the other side of Quatre and joined the other two pilots in their voyeuristic interest.
After a few minutes of silence, the remaining two pilots grew suspicious. After consulting each other, Heero pushed Wufei into the room. As the pilot of Wing stood impatiently in the hallway, his eyes doubled in size when he heard the following exchange.
"What the hell is making you all be so quiet--Wow. That's...that's...that's amazing," Wufei's voice sounded, tapering off in total awe.
"Amazing...captivating...I've never seen anything like this in my whole life..." Quatre's dazed voice floated out into the hallway.
"How are such shapes and twists, the way...slips sensually around itself...Oh, God...wow..." Wufei muttered in amazement.
"Yeah... amazing...I wish I could move so gracefully..." Duo whispered.
"Ouch!" Quatre exclaimed, "I guess the more it goes, that hotter it gets!"
"Yeah, I know, I tried to touch it earlier, I think I was looking to hard at it…" Duo trailed off.
"Ooooohhhhhh..." All four voices moaned in unison.
"My God..." Trowa muttered.
Finally Heero gathered enough courage to peek into the living room. The other four pilots were sitting, crammed together on the couch, staring at the object in front of them. Their faces were bathed in a softly flickering light, and their eyes were wide as they watched in wonder and admiration the object in front of them.
