Realization
Trowa was trying to watch the news as Duo and Wufei were arguing which was better Pepsi or coke. They argued over the stupidest things sometimes. They all lived in a house together all except for Quatre. Trowa would often watch the news hoping for a glimpse of him. The last time he saw him he became worried. He could tell that Quatre was not happy working for his father's company. It was slowly draining him.
Finally the news came on with special live video. "This just in Quatre Reberba Winner was shot and now we go to the live footage." Trowa yelled, "SHUT UP!"
The others shut up and joined him by the TV as the watched the coverage.
Quatre stepped out of his office building and clutched his chest in pain his shirt soaked in blood. As he fell to the ground an unknown shooter shot him from above. People were just standing around no one seemed to be helping. Finally Quatre's sister Iria ran out and held him she yelled at the camera. "What hell is wrong with you people? Stop taping and call an ambulance."
"Is there any news on his condition?" the reporter asked a doctor.
"I'm afraid mister Winner didn't make it."
Trowa couldn't breathe. He started crying hysterically. "NO! he's not dead it's a lie." he started throwing things and completely broke down. Duo ended up taking him to his room after they had to knock him out.
********************
Elsewhere...... A boy with golden hair woke up in extreme pain. "Welcome back master Quatre."
"Rashid where am I?"
"You were shot do you remember?"
"Yes. This doesn't look like a hospital."
"It's not. I have found a way out for you."
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone thinks you're dead. you can be free to find happiness."
*************
Trowa didn't speak to anyone for a long time. He became very distressed when Quatre's body went missing. Something was nagging at his heart. When Quatre's died he stole his heart. He loved him so much and never had a chance to tell him. His cowardess got the better of him. He was always afraid he would lose Quatre if he told him. A lot of good it did him he lost him anyway. Death is forever and there was no getting his little one back.
Duo was sitting by Trowa's bed when he woke up. "Duo? please tell me this is someone's idea of a joke."
"I'm sorry I know you haven't excepted it but it's true. Quatre's gone."
"Why? Quatre can't be dead. Not my Quatre." he could feel the tears coming.
"You loved him didn't you Trowa?" he nodded.
"I wish I would have told him. I was stupid not to."
"I'm sure he knew."
"I.. He doesn't feel gone. His body was stolen who would do such a thing? Why do I feel like he's still alive?"
"I know how you feel. He was my best friend. He was the heart of the team. I don't know what we'll do without him."
"STOP IT!! stop talking about him in the past tense. You're talking about him as if he's."
"Dead? he is dead Trowa you're just going to have to learn to accept that."
*********************
Quatre was happy he was free. It lived in a small cottage on earth. Near was a beautiful waterfall. He had a garden and wasn't to far from a small town. The place was breathtaking. Yet he felt like something was missing. He wished he could share it with Trowa. He found himself calling Trowa and hanging up he just needed to hear his voice.
He had been separated from Trowa before but now that he was supposedly dead. He couldn't see the one person that meant the most to him. At least when he was away before he could still see Trowa. He could call or visit but now he was dead. Trowa might be pissed if he were to find out that Quatre was indeed alive.
I miss you Trowa. I love you please don't be mad. I hope that one day we will be reunited. Even though you don't feel that way about me . I will always love you.
******************
I will always Love you."
Trowa sat up quickly. "Quatre?"
Trowa had fallen into a deep depression he didn't talk to anyone anymore. He wasn't living not really. He just went through the motions.
*****************
Quatre could sense Trowa was in danger from himself. Could he really risk trying to contact Trowa? To blow his cover and ruin his new found freedom? Or will he seek out Trowa. Oh No Trowa's in danger. I have to stop him.
****************
Trowa was walking on a dirt road. He needed to get away from the others when he noticed an on coming car approaching. He made no move he just stood there waiting for the car to hit him. I'll be joining you soon Quatre."
As the car came closer Trowa felt someone lunge at him and push him out of the way. He landed on the cement. The savior leaned over him to see if he was all right. Trowa looked up. "Quatre?" then he lost consciences.
