The yellow flame on the wick of a white candle, it sat on a table in the living room. Quatre was not just staring at the flame, but also into it, as if it would show him something. He had seen Duo doing the same thing sometimes, when he thought no one was watching.
The flame danced before Quatre's eyes as his breath moved it. He was the only one in the safe house, since the others had missions or were out doing something. The center of the yellow flame started to turn blue and he watched silently.
Quatre had become a moth that was attracted to the burning flame. He hardly noticed his hand reaching out to touch the tempting fire.
"Cat, you still home?" Duo called as he walked into the living room.
Quatre froze in place, at least his body did, but his hand kept inching toward the candle. Duo watched silently as the Arabian pilot's hand came down on the candle's flame.
"Aaahhh," Quatre yelped as he pulled his hand back.
Quatre stared at his burnt palm and didn't notice as Duo sat down next to him.
"You have been watching me. Quatre, the flame may be pretty, but it burns."
"Just like a rose and its thorns."
"Yeah. Please don't do this again. Fire is not your element."
"I promise not to do this again. What element do you think I am suited for?"
Duo leaned back some and watched Quatre as he bandaged his hand.
"I think you are meant for water. You always seem to cool this team's tempers, my dear peacemaker."
"Water. I might be made for water, but I don't know."
Duo stood up and began to head up to his room as he smiled. Quatre looked up at Duo and turned back to the candle.
"You will know for sure when the time comes, peacemaker."
