Homecoming

By Backlash

Quatre and Trowa had finally admitted their feelings for one another. Their relationship was going great and Quatre's father was behind him all the way. He said if Trowa makes you happy that makes me happy son. Still they were only sixteen and even if his father hadn't approved they had survived a war and could survive anything. Or so they thought.

Trowa still lived with his sister at the circus. They no longer traveled except for special occasions or bookings. He wasn't as involved with it as he used to be which gave him more time for school and most importantly Quatre.

Trowa had told Quatre everything about his past and to his surprise he understood. During a period of time when Trowa was having reassuring nightmares Quatre's love helped heal his heart. He listened and held him. Quatre refused to leave his side during that horrible time. No matter what Trowa did Quatre refused to be pushed away. In the end it strengthened their bond.

The other gundam pilots enrolled in the same school as well. The war had merged them into a family. Though they would never admit it they had become a family. They care for eachother and protect their family with their lives.

Quatre was crying when Trowa approached him. "What's wrong?"

"My father died last night Trowa." Trowa pulled Quatre into his arms trying to comfort him. "I'm so sorry."

"I'll be all right as long as I have you." he cried on Trowa's shoulder but things were about to get worse. Quatre had been given custody to his uncle. Some one he had feared since he was a child. He planned to take Quatre away to were he lived and there was nothing he could do about it.

"I don't want to go." Quatre cried as they saw eachother for the last time.

"One day we'll be together again. I promise." Trowa started to cry.

"I love you. I'll miss you." he held him tightly.

"This isn't goodbye. It's see you later. I refuse to say good-bye. No matter what I will always love you." they shared their last kiss and both part with a broken heart.

Two years later.....

Quatre's uncle had lost his job but obtained a new one back on earth. A place Quatre used to call home. He had longed to be back there but now things were different. He hadn't stayed in contact with the others like he had wanted to. He wasn't who they remembered now he was damaged goods.

Quatre's Uncle Nate kept Quatre on a short leash unless he was busy with his woman. He forbidded Quatre's sister's from having contact with him. He let Quatre go out occasionally so no one would get too suspicious after all Quatre's inheritance was his meal ticket.

"Hey Trowa!" yelled Duo.

"What is it Duo?" he asked.

"Look." he pointed in the direction of Quatre walking down the hall.

"Quatre?" he saw his angel. He's home. Quatre walked by them without a word and straight into the office to get his schedule. "What was that?" asked Duo. "I don't know but I intend to find out." he stated in a worried tone. Then the bell rang it would have to wait until after school.

At lunchtime Quatre saw his friends sitting together but he passed them by. He sat in a far off corner table and ate alone. He looked so distant it was almost as if he hadn't come back.
