Know


Notes: This story includes Ryune, an original charecter created by me and
kinda Andrea, a charecter my buddy made.
Trowa happens to be one of my favorite gundam pilots and I just could
stand how some people made him gay (bleh). Hope you like it! .

Trowa walked barefoot along the beach, occasionally drawing his gaze from
the ground to the setting sun that lit the sky afire. He sighed and stopped,
staring at the crashing waves and listening intently to it all. His thoughts
drifted to the sleeping angel in the cabin a short ways away. He always seem
to think of her when he looked at the sea. He smiled slightly as he thought
of her and her obsession with the raging waters. A sound she says could lull
her to sleep for eternity.
~*~
There are things some never say
Never tomarrow, now or yesterday
Some things, we keep inside
Things that we always try to hide
~*~
He stared at the setting sun and a small smile curved his mouth. Slowly he
made his way back to the cabin. He made sure that he was silent, being sure
not to wake the others. He nearly laughed at the sight Duo had made on the
couch, with his top half falling off, his mouth agape and drool at the corner.
He walked past him, thinking of the long day of battle it had been. When he
approached a certain room he paused, hesitating, before opening it. He looked
inside and saw Ryune sleeping peacefully. Trowa smiled slightly, studying the
way she curled her legs, the blanket drapped over her waist down.
~*~
Have you ever had a secret
That you just couldn't bare to tell
But it burns your heart to keep it
You want to let it ring out like a bell
~*~
Trowa entered the room slowly, lifting the thin blanket and pulling it up to her shoulder. He
as she stirred slightly, letting out a soft sigh of relief when she settled back down. He
knelt by her bedside, watching her with interest. She looked so much like an innocent child
when she slept, it was hard to believe she could ever be a fierce fighter. He shook his head.
He could never tell her how he felt, she'd just reject him. Ryune was like that, after the
murder of her father she was always afraid ofbeing hurt emotionally again. It was a wonder
how Andrea had ever befriended her.
~*~
If I love you will you love me too
If i tell you the truth will you go
I'm too afraid to tell you
So I guess you'll never know
~*~
Trowa hung his head a moment, rubbing the banck of his neck with a strong
hand. 'This must be why Wufei doesn't get involved with women...' He thought
to himself as he looked up again at Ryune. She made him nervous, though she
never seemed to notice. His palms would get sweaty and his hands slightly
shakey. He knew everything almost. He knew she only acted tough. He knew her
scent. He knew her passions, her wants, her needs. He knew everything she
loved. The ocean, the beach, space, the sun, flying, but he didn't want to be
just a part of that list. He wanted to have a place in her heart that only
belonged to him.
~*~
I know your every innocence
That exists by ignorance
because you don't know that I love you
because I refuse to tell you
~*~
Ryune stirred slightly, inhaling deeply as her arms raised slightly, yawning
as she stretched. Her eyes tightened before fluttering open, then widened in
surprise. "Trowa?"

Trowa froze slightly, staring at the emerald eyes that looked at him so
strangely. "Umm hi..."
~*~
If I love you will you love me too
If i tell you the truth will you go
I'm too afraid to tell you
So I guess you'll never know
~*~
Ryune sat up slowly, still looking at him. "What's up?" She smiled slightly,
rubbing whatever trace of tiredness sleep had left her.

Trowa shrugged. "Just came in to check on you, how ya feeling?"

Ryune shrugged. "All right...been better but, hey, make the best of things."

Trowa smiled weakly. "Last battle was quite exhausting huh?"

Ryune nodded. "Yeah, very..." She sighed. "I can't believe we made it out alive..."

"Yeah..." Trowa's voice trailed off as he stared at her. Enraptured with her eyes. "So..."

Ryune looked at him. "So?"

Trowa stood. "I better let you finish your rest..." He began to walk out.

Ryune rolled out of bed. "Actually I'm very much awake." She stood and walked after him,
grabbing his hand.

Trowa stiffened and looked at her, then at their hands. "Uhh..umm o-okay...sure." He stuttered
slightly as Ryune smiled at him.

Ryune blushed faintly at his reaction, managing a smile. 'Why did I do that?' She thought annoyed
with herself. "If you don't mind, I kind of want to go outside."

Trowa shook his head. "I'm going with you?" He asked perplexed. This side of Ryune was barely
ever shown.

Ryune giggled softly, a sound that she didn't utter often but it was pleasant. "Yeah, come on
it'll be fun." And with that she pulled him outside. She stared at the rolling waves and sat
down, still grasping his hand.

Trowa sat beside her and looked at her. She was beautiful. He couldn't help bust smile slightly
at her childish expression as she stared at the ocean in wonder.
~*~
Am I cursed to never tell you?
Am I to always be alone?
I can't make another day through
If I take it on my own
~*~

Trowa blushed slightly at the warmth of her hand. It made him feel nervous and yet content. His
nervousness grew slightly as Ryune rested her head on his shoulder.

"I think I am still weak..." She murmured.

Trowa looked at her, he could breath in the soft vanilla scent that she always carried about her.
The smell acted like a drug to him, sweet and intoxicating. "Do you want me to take you back?" He
whispered softly.

Ryune shook her head. "No, I'm just a little sore. I'll be okay..."
~*~
Have you ever had a secret
That you just couldn't bare to say
~*~

Trowa's heart was pounding now, he couldn't believe how close she was. His breathing grew heavy.

Ryune could sense something was different about him but she wasn't sure what it was. "Trowa?"

Trowa swallowed, hard. He liked her saying his name far too much. "Y-yeah?"

Ryune lifted her head from it's comftorable position on his shoulder to look at him. Her face was
a mere two inches from his. "Are you okay? You seem...different."

Trowa's breathing was deep now. "I do?"
~*~
But it burns your heart to keep it
So you let it fly away
~*~

Trowa never knew what possesed him to do what he did next. It was if he had lost all control of
his actions. His hand came up slowly, caressing her cheek as he stared into her eyes, entranced
with them.

Confusion filled one pair of emerald eyes and assurance filled the other. "Trowa?" Ryune could
barely whisper the name.

Trowa raised his other hand, lifting Ryune's with it. He glanced briefly at the still intertwined
fingers and smiled faintly. Slowly he leaned closer to her, his lips gently pressing down on her
forehead.

Ryune let out a small gasp and her eyes closed slightly as the tender kisses trailed down her
cheek.

The two's breathing was quiet. Trowa felt out of breath and his heart full, his breath warm on
Ryune's cheek.

Ryune breathed deeply, looking up slowly. Tears glistened over her eyes, trailing down her
cheeks. Nothing had been said but the feelings were clear.

Trowa smiled faintly and brushed a tear away with his thumb.

Ryune hung her head slightly, unable to look at him. "Trowa I-"

She was stopped, Trowa having placed two fingers gently on her lips. When she looked at him
questioningly he smiled, whispering softly. "Don't ruin this with words..."
~*~
I learned here today
Love's more than words can say
~*~

Trowa kissed her gently on the lips, his arms wrapping around her torso, pulling her closer as
his eyes closed. He couldn't recall how long he had wanted to hold her like this. How he had
yearned to be near her.

Ryune's eyes widened, then closed slowly as she kissed back tenderly. Her arms slowly slid around
him as she felt herself conform to him. She felt content as the kiss built up in passion as she
gently stroked the back of his neck with her fingers.
~*~
I waited to long
to let these feelings show
I didn't mean to prolong
But at least you finally know
~*~

A million feelings of compassion and warmth passed between the two in their passionate embrace.
Trowa pulled Ryune's small form closer, holding her against him. One thing was said...and only
because it was something that had been wanted to be said since forever it seemed. "Ashiteru
Ryune. Aishiteru." The words were whispered softly, hanging in their hearts, carried in the wind
and embedded in their kiss.

~*~
Now I can say I love you
Now you will always know
And now that I finally hold you
I have no intention of letting go
~*~
