Chapter 1

            Quatre sighed as he watched the bright colors of the circus' opening act. Trowa's lions parading around docilely were having quite an effect on the audience. In spite of having seen Trowa's ability with animals demonstrated countless times before, Quatre oohed and aahed just as enthusiastically as the crowd. The act had gotten even more elaborate since the last show that Quatre had seen. Not only were the beasts doing acrobatics, but Trowa was as well. Quatre's heart skipped a beat as Trowa did his finale. How did Trowa manage to balance so precisely on the lion's back for so long? Trowa exited the ring to wild applause from the audience. Quatre clapped so hard he startled the family sitting in front of him. Quatre blushed and calmed down. He hunted in his pocket, finally coming up with the program he had been given at the entrance. Scanning the program for Trowa's next act, he was dismayed to see that Trowa wouldn't be on again until just after intermission. {That's so long from now} Quatre thought as he looked again to be sure. Sighing, Quatre resigned himself to fidgeting impatiently till intermission. He could hardly wait until intermission. It had taken him months to get up the courage and plan what he wanted to say to Trowa, but he was finally ready to confess his love to the mysterious green-eyed pilot. His mind was so busy rehearsing his speech that he totally missed the acts that followed Trowa's performance. It wasn't until a familiar face appeared that Quatre was startled out of his reverie. He did a double take as he suddenly recognized the young man with black hair who was doing a set of Chinese balancing tricks with a familiar Katana. {Wufei?!?} Quatre was so startled that he nearly fell off of his chair. Wufei was the last person he expected to see tonight. He hadn't seen Wufei for months following the Mariemeia coup and he had lost track of the dusky Chinese boy. Quatre had assumed that Wufei was rebuilding his clan like he had always talked of, deep in his cups during the war. A more inappropriate job for the former pilot of Shenlong was inconceivable. His plans for Trowa were temporarily forgotten as he goggled at the sight of Wufei balancing a full cup of tea on his nose while doing an intricate dance with his sword. Quatre remained in a state of slight shock as the audience applauded the impressive act. He then shook himself all over. Quatre rushed to the edge of the ring as soon as the lights came up. He knew that Trowa would be coming to double-check the facilities before bringing the beasts in for the second half. His heart beat faster at the thought of his approaching meeting with the love of his life. He mentally gave his speech a final dress rehearsal while keeping an eagle eye on the ring. He was halfway through his speech, when the curtain parted to admit a serious looking brown-haired man whose bangs constantly obscured one eye. Quatre's heart leapt at the alluring sight. Trowa made even a clown's costume look elegant. He took a deep steadying breath and was about to step out of the shadows to greet his love when the curtain twitched again and Wufei stepped in. Quatre's mouth opened and closed like a fish as he watched Trowa look up at the intruder and……… SMILE? Then Quatre felt his world fade to black as he saw his beloved Trowa passionately kiss Wufei.
