{ Hardest Thing To Say Meme }

Sometimes the hardest things to say are also the most important. It doesn't matter how much it scares you to do so, it's finally time to be honest.

- post as your character.
- others go to RNG and roll numbers 1-22 then respond setting up a scenario.
- respond and have fun!

01. I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE Unfortunately, you can't keep lying to your partner/friend/family anymore. You just don't feel the same for them anymore.
02. I WOULD KILL YOU The person who means so much to you has done something completely unforgivable and now it's time to make sure they know where they stand. You would kill them if you ever got the chance.
03. I LOVE YOU, BUT... A bittersweet love confession. You know you love this person more than anything, but you're not sure you can give them what they need.
04. I DON'T TRUST YOU No matter how you feel about this person, you really can't trust them anymore.
05. SACRIFICE You're going to sacrifice yourself, for the person you're talking with or for the good of all humanity. You want them to know the reasons and that there's no stopping you.
06. TROUBLE You're in trouble and you might not make it through. You need to let at least one person know how you feel before it's too late though.
07. CRIME CONFESSION You did something you weren't proud of and now it's time to admit it.
08. DEMONS We've all got our demons and we've all got our own personal nightmares we have to face, but this time? You can't hold it all back.
09. I'M PREGNANT... Now's not the best time for it maybe or maybe you're just nervous how your partner will react, but they need to hear it.
10. BETRAYAL You've betrayed this person and you have to tell them the truth, no more running from it
11. CHEATED You've been unfaithful and it's time to tell your lover.
12. BROKEN That's it. You've had it. You are entirely broken and tired of everything.
13. AFRAID Something has you deathly afraid and you need to talk about it.
14. HELP ME You need someone to help you, bad. You can't do it alone anymore, you've tried.
15. I'M SORRY You said something or did something horrible and now it's time to ask for forgiveness.
16. YOU WERE A MISTAKE Sorry, but whoever you're talking to was the biggest mistake of your life or maybe it was just something you did together.
17. NOT WHO I SAY I AM You're so far from who they think you are, you need to finally tell the truth.
18. LET'S RUN AWAY You want to just get out, leave everything behind and be with this one person for the rest of your life.
19. ASHAMED Either you're ashamed of something they have done or something you did, either way you need to bring it up.
20. CAN'T REMEMBER The person standing in front of you looks so happy to see you, so relieved, but how do you tell them you can't remember a thing about them?
21. HOW COULD YOU You don't understand how they could treat you like they have, do what they have done when you've done nothing but be good to them.
22. YOUR CHOICE Either choose an option from above, mix and match, or make up your own idea.

Wufei’s fingers slid along Duo’s as he smiled. “Well, that makes two of us, doesn’t it? And what do you think the odds are that Trowa will call tomorrow?” He asked with a grin. “First Quatre, then Heero… it’s either him or Sally who’s going to interrupt next.” He thought it was a little funny that the others kept trying to interfere, only to find that whatever problem they were trying to fix had already been resolved, or didn’t exist in the first place.

"I vote Sally. Quatre had to have told Trowa by now. His embarrassment woulda worn off for sure." He laughed happily remembering that phone call. Even if the reason for it still pissed him off a bit. Duo still couldn't believe that Quatre's first instinct was to think Wufei was going to try and kill himself. That wasn't going to happen. Not on his watch.

"We could head em' all off at the pass if you want?" Duo suggested after a moments more thought. "We can go say hi to Sally, give Trowa a call, whatever you want." But really... he was starting to wonder if they weren't all in some conference call already swapping notes and trying to work out just what was going on.

Wufei chuckled in agreement to that first thought, taking his time with his pizza and humming thoughtfully. "That's not a bad idea," he agreed with a little nod. "And Sally'll get nosy sooner or later if Heero doesn't clue her in. Those two are closer than you'd think," he rolled his eyes a little. "Might as well just send out a mass text," he decided, and fished his phone out.

Duo couldn't help laugh. A mass text was going to get a reaction. He pulled his hand back so he could grab up a slice of pizza and watch with avid curiosity as Wufei's phone appeared.

"Wonder how long before you get your first reply?" He bit into the point of his pizza and chewed thoughtfully. Part of him didn't really like spreading around his personal life and didn't see why Wufei should either. But they had a circle of friends who were nosy bastards and who were going to get involved one way or another. So heading them off at the pass was for the best.

Worse, it was a mass text from Wufei. Tact was not exactly his strong suit.

I've moved in with Duo. Yes, it's romantic. Leave us alone.

To pretty much every contact in his phone. Heero, Trowa, Quatre, Sally, Une, even Noin and Relena. Howard, too, for some reason. Then he set his phone down on the table as it almost immediately started buzzing with replies, and ignored it as he went back to eating his pizza. Predictably, Duo's phone started blowing up, too. Asking if it was true, if he had Wufei's phone and was pranking them. Trowa asking if there was a hostage situation he didn't know about, and where.

When his own phone started shouting at him, Duo snatched it up from the table top and near choked on his pizza laughing. This was... This was beautiful! He dropped his pizza, licked the grease from his fingers and began typing.

No, it wasn't a prank.

And to Trowa? Yes. There was a hostage situation. Wufei had taken his heart and refused to give it back. Send help.

After he sent that he burst out laughing and waited.

It didn't take long before he got a call. Duo smirked and turned his phone so Wufei could see who was calling before he answered it.

"Hello." He chirped breezily.

"Drunk. High. Or both?"

"Drunk on luuuuv, sure? High on life? Undoubtedly!"

"Give the phone to Wufei."

"You're on speaker, my man. Talk freely. No secrets here!"

There was a pause.

A long pause. Before Trowa spoke in a dry tone.

"Looks like you won to pool, Wufei. You got the age Duo finally lost it spot on. Congratulations."

Wufei snorted softly. "Is this the virginity pool or the sanity pool, because I've won both," he replied, just as dryly. "You know my account number, and send it soon I'll need it for the rice cooker I'm buying us today," and took another bite of pizza.

He picked his phone up again, glanced through the messages that were all variations of 'congratulations' or 'do you have a concussion?' "If you don't believe me, just talk to Quatre, apparently his Space Heart can sense even the more carnal emotions."

"I'm aware." There was the sound of creaking leather and then something akin to a sigh. "He'd very apologetic for intruding on your moment. In his defence, you have been neglecting yourself, Wufei." While his tone was mild there was just a hint of scolding, but also of a smile. "I'm happy to hear it was nothing too serious."

Duo, on the other hand, was a little concerned that there was actually a pool on him that the guys had been betting against him. Had he known... He'd have gotten laid ages ago. Or lost his mind. Just to ruin their fun.

"So you guys can back off now, yeah?" Duo asked.

"Backing off." Trowa confirmed with a quiet chuckle. "Seems the crisis averted itself."

Wufei winced at Trowa's reply, letting out a sigh of his own. "That's true enough, I suppose, but I'm... working on it now, alright?"

He sighed again when Trowa agreed to back off. "And for the record, virginity pool on me can cash out to anyone who had 195, and that's as much as I'm willing to say on the matter."

There was an odd little silence on the other end of the phone and when Trowa finally answered, it was with a tone of deliberate nonchalance. "Noted." He'd been joking about the 'pool' to tease Duo. There wasn't a pool and most definitely no virginity pool.

Duo looked from Wufei to the phone and then back again. "Uh... Well!" Forced cheerfulness and a big grin, time to change the tone. "So what do you guys think about meeting up sometime in the near future? Been a while since we all got together right?"

"I'm sure that can be arranged. Any particular time?"

"... No idea." Duo looked to Wufei. "A week or two, maybe?"

Problem was, Heero had made several predictions that sounded a whole lot like betting pools to Wufei, so he was absolutely serious. He just didn't know how big the supposed pools were, or how his own predictions had gotten added. More to blame on Heero, no doubt.

Wufei shrugged. "Heero's attempting to kick my ass on Monday, so any time after that would work for me. I'm ground-bounded for the next year or so."

"Then the weekend after. Quatre and I'll come down on the friday. How does that sound?" Trowa offered after a brief silence and the sound of muffled talking. He'd clearly covered the phone with his hand to talk to someone, probably Quatre.

"He's really gonna do that?" Duo sighed and rolled his eyes, wondering if he maybe organise a little 'accident' that would trip Heero up and stop him. "But next weekend sounds good enough, Tro!"

"That sounds lovely," Wufei replied. "And yes, he is. We make a point of sparring whenever we're in the same place at the same time. It helps keep both of us sharp," and if he was being honest, it was just nice to have someone he didn't have to hold back on.

Much. They would break bones if they didn't hold back a little.

Duo just gave Wufei a funny look at that, before he promised Trowa he'd call him later, or see him next weekend, wished him a goodbye and then hung up with a laugh. When he hung up he realised he had a few more texts and a missed called from Howard.

"We really poked the ants nest didn't we?" He looked very amused as he started to reply to a few texts, confirming it was all true. He was a taken man. Off the market. Sorry, ladies!

He lifted a brow at the funny look, but let him handle hanging up with Trowa and checked his own phone again with a sigh. "We have indeed," and sent out a few texts of his own, even though he would normally refuse to give follow-up answers.

Which only lead to several confused texts assuming Duo was pranking them all, except that Trowa was confirming for them that it was real... but he was a literal clown, and that just muddied the waters farther.

"Oh for crying out loud," Wufei groaned, twenty minutes later. "If I'd known it would be this much trouble..."

Duo was having grand ol' time laughing it up. But in the end he realised it was probably getting a bit much, so muted his phone and climbed to his feet to pluck Wufei's phone from his hands, muted his as well and tossed it onto the table with his own.

"Then we ignore them. We've said what we wanna, if they believe us, great. If they think I'd joke about somethin like this, shows how much they know me." Duo said it with a warm smile even as he pulled Wufei to his feet and right into his arms. "Don't care what anyone else says or what they believe. You're mine now and that's all that matters to me."

Wufei sighed heavily, but didn't argue when Duo took his phone and turned it off, letting himself sink into Duo's arms with a quiet sound of appreciation. "I think I'm more offended that they think I'm so..." he couldn't think of a word that wouldn't piss Duo off, so he erred on the side of letting him fill in the blank for himself.

"So...?" He could try and fill in the gaps but he couldn't guarantee he'd come up with the right thing. But it didn't really matter. He had Wufei in his arms now so he leaned in to press a soft, warm kiss to his lips to soothe those offended nerves.

"I don't care what they think, y'know that?" He smiled, talking between soft kisses. "Never did."

He returned the kiss, and even managed to give Duo a little smile. "I know you don't," he sighed softly. "But I'm afraid despite my surly disposition, I care a great deal. At least when it comes to those people I've chosen as my friends, but it seems I've done a rather bad job of cultivating those friendships," he gave Duo a little squeeze, let himself linger in the warmth and the comfort of his lover's arms. "Perhaps this is the worst idea I've ever had," and he'd had some doozies over the years, "but maybe we should invite them all for dinner. Show them, since telling doesn't seem to work all that well."

"Hey... Think it's more a reflection on me than you." Duo pointed out gently. "Half of them think it's a prank I'm pulling. But... if you feel like that, I can call Trowa later, see if he can get Quatre down here sooner. We can set something up." His arms tightened around Wufei and he wished so much that this had been a bit more of a happier moment for him. If he had the chance he'd rip their friends all new ones for making Wufei doubt himself.

Wufei hummed softly. "Well, you've always been quick to tease, and I've never been... affectionate." It wasn't an unreasonable assumption, based on both their personalities. "I suppose I'm coming to regret the façade I put so much effort into projecting, but I was hurting so deeply..." he was too afraid to let any of them closer, because he believed they were all fighting a losing fight, that they would all be dead by the time the war was over.

And the war had shredded him, anyway. Left him broken and vulnerable for Dekim to use as he saw fit. Guilt and anger and grief and... he sighed heavily, tucking his face into Duo's neck and squeezing him gently. "I'd warn you about how profoundly fucked up I am, but you already know."

Duo's arms tightened, cradling him to his chest. One hand lifted to gently cup the back of Wufei's head, fingers lightly burying within his hair.

"And somehow I'd always liked you, even if you weren't as affectionate as some." He smiled softly and turned his own head to press a kiss to Wufei's temple. "You were strong and noble, and fun to tease. And sometimes you'd smile. And when you did, damn but that smile could energise me." His eyes closed then. "I know you were hurtin, Wu. We all were. And I know you're fucked up, but so am I. I figure we can help each other out here. Screw what anyone else says. We deserve to be happy. We've lost so damn much, I'm not ever lettin yoi go now."

He couldn't help smiling at that, giving Duo a gentle squeeze as he huffed out a chuckle. "I did smile sometimes, and always in spite of myself," he replied warmly, kissing Duo's neck gently and relaxing against him. "This is the stuff they can't see, right here," he sighed happily.

The way they could prop each other up, stop spirals right when they were starting. The warmth, the gentle touches, the perfect moments that they could find under all the tangled up pain and trauma. "You always have just the right words, when I'm smart enough to listen." And now he felt like a sappy idiot.

"Call me selfish but I don't want them to." He wanted this all to himself. He wanted those soft smile, the laughter and the tenderness all to himself. But he knew that wouldn't be fair to Wufei. It would be akin to going into hiding all over again. Pretending to be someone he wasn't. And that was the very last thing Duo would ever want for him.

"Heh, can I get that in writing?" He sighed softly, the kisses to his neck making him smile. "I'm just saying the truth. It's the advantage of being a couple. We're in this together."

He huffed out another laugh, giving Duo a gentle squeeze. "I'll make it into a fancy calligraphy scroll for you," he offered lightly. "Then you can have it in writing and keep it a secret, at least from anyone who can't read Chinese," so everyone but Heero and Sally, probably. "We'll be in Chinatown, I'll pick up everything I need there."
