A/N: This is a one-shot/drabble tribute dedicated to everyone who's been reviewing "Secretly" and supporting it. For all those people who keep wishing on a star that Trowa and Catherine were never pronounced siblings, here we go. Special thanks goes to Truish for all the support she's given me on Secretly, despite that I probably drove her insane wanting to chat about it for long periods of time. Thank you Truish!

Trowa was holding the packet of papers up to me, but I stepped back as if they would burn me. I didn't want to know, and yet I did. I was terrified, but excitement was tied in.
Trowa and I had been dating for nearly six months at this point, and if he was my brother, it was clear we would not continue our relationship. If those DNA sequences matched, my love for him was all over.
To me, he wasn't my brother. Maybe I had thought of him that way at first, but we had grown up, and in growing up, we had changed. Our relationship had changed.
"Would you like me to read it, Catherine?" Trowa held my face with one hand and stared into my eyes.
It was all I could do to nod. In the circus, I had cultivated very few fears, but losing my love was one of the few that had slipped through the cracks and into my heart.
Trowa slipped the papers from the packet and scanned them momentarily. Long moments passed as he double-checked his findings, and then he gave me a small smile.
"Not a match." Trowa breathed, kissing my forehead. "We're not related."
I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him all over his face. I had feared it was all over, feared I could never find another love like this, and now the pain and worry was all over. We were safe, knowing only each other, holding only each other.
"You have no clue how relieved I am..." I whispered into his shirt. "I thought it was all over."
There was a moment of silence as we locked eyes and traded understandings. Then, Trowa whispered the words that would lead us to the rest of our lives.
"No, it's only beginning." He whispered and leaned down to kiss me.
And it was only beginning. We had the rest of forever with each other, and we couldn't have been happier.
A/N: I know it's short, but I really had to fight with it to get it this long. Anyway, what do you guys think?
