another fic for Quatre.

this just came out when i read an essay about how weak Quatre is in GW timeline.

BTW The pilots here may tend to be OOC

this is for my bestest bestfriend dovi.

I have never owned Gundam Wing. I wish i could.

an excerpt from Blind Target

"Why do people hate?" Quatre asked looking at the glass window of their hideout around L3 cluster. The remnants of White Fang are now heading towards them.

"Because they are weak" Wufei answered.

"I am too.." He said head lowered. "I can't forgive what the White fang did."

"That's not true! You were chosen by the Gundams!"

"Wufei?"

"You have to be strong. Because it is just."

Chang Wufei was studying the details of the terrorist attack on L1 colony when Sally Po turned the television on. He did not pay attention, knowing Sally; she will just watch the re-run of her favorite drama.

"Take a look at these, Quatre is on tv. This guy really amazes me. To think that he is young, his influence is all over the colonies."

Quatre is having his speech concerning the resettlement of the Mariemeia faction victims. It has been a year since the rebellion but rebuilding the damages is far from over. The burden of responsibilities was assigned to Relena Peacecraft, the Queen of the World and Quatre Raberba Winner, the heir of the largest company in the colonies, Winner Enterprises. It is not surprising if both of them will be seen frequently on television.

"If Earth has Peacecraft, the colonies have Quatre." He commented.

"Yeah, combining their influences, I think the results will be favorable." Munching her brownies, Sally continued her work. "Let's just wait for his critics tomorrow." She added.

Wufei sighed. No matter how Quatre tried his best to help both Earth and the colonies, there are some narrow-minded people who will pull him down. Vultures.

"Hn?"

"What is it, woman?"

"Just now, you sighed. I am just wondering what it is."

"None of your business." He continued his work.

Quatre's speech last night is the headline of all the newspapers. And as expected, there are negative comments.

"I can't help but imagine why is it that those spoiled brats are the one taking care of these issues? Thanks to their wealthy parents." A man said. The Chinese decided to have his lunch on the nearby chain, as he enter, the bees are swarming the honey. Everybody is talking about Mr. Winner.

"Those good for nothing brats shouldn't be deciding our future. What do they know? They are only kids." Another man said.

"Do you think their childish ideals will save us all?" The third man added.

"I think Master Quatre is cute." The waitress interrupted.

"I think he's gay." The first man countered. This earned laughter at the nearby table.

"Injustice." Wufei breathe out. He was about to confront the people laughing at his friend when a hand pulled him back to his seat.

"Let them be." The Wing pilot said. "I know they don't have the right to say those things but consider Quatre's situation."

"They're making fun of him. It is not fair!" Wufei argued. They don't realize what Quatre is doing for them. What he is sacrificing just to achieve the peace they are experiencing. It frustrates the Chinese more.

"It will do no good if you will defend Quatre like this. They will think that he is a coward for he needs someone just to protect his pride." Heero reasoned. "We all knew that this will eventually happen."

"But…"

"Don't worry about Quatre. He is strong. Even stronger than any of us. He wanted to keep the peace that we all worked hard just to achieve. He knew that what we did that time is only temporary but he is doing his best to lengthen this peace." 01 said blankly.

Wufei nodded. "I know but, is it unfair for Quatre to be judged like this?"

"Quatre knew his fate even before Operation Meteor. He is the only son of a pacifist family and the heir of Winner Enterprises. His path is determined to be like this. Of all the five of us, he is crossing the rockiest road. To be a public figure like this is more like a suicide for the likes of him."

"This situation is the same as Relena's?

"The two of them have a lot in common." Heero gathered his things and started to walk out of the food chain. "And, have faith in them."

Author's note:

I think this is a sloppy one but it feels good writing friendship fics for the five of them.

Thanks again to my friend airiz, our emails a while ago helped me decide to write this fic.
