Chapter 2

Two weeks later Melody set on her and Wufei's bed working on her laptop with the radio playing relaxing music. The bedroom door was open so that the music flowed out of the room and into the rest of the house. She was singing along with the songs when Heero and Duo walked past the bedroom door on their way to the kitchen. It was something the guys had gotten use to on Sunday, it was how she got ready for work on Monday. When the pair made it to the kitchen they saw Wufei sitting at the table with his head in his hands looking very confuse and dejected.

"Is something wrong, 'Fei?" Duo asked as he set down across from Wufei. Wufei in turn look up at Duo. After thinking for a couple minutes he decided that it couldn't hurt to share his thoughts with his friends and sighed.

"Kind of," he said returning to his earlier position with another sigh.

"Let me guess" Heero said smirking down at his friend, "You have just figured out that you are in love with our dear little Melody." Wufei's head shot up as Heero spoke and he stared at his friends who where both smirking at him.

"Am I interrupting" Quatre asked as he entered the kitchen to find his three friends staring at each other.

"No, Wufei has just figured out that he is in love with Mel." Duo said as he pulled Heero down in to his lap.

"Really, I wondered when he was going to figure it out." Quatre smiled as he made himself a cup of tea.

"Am I the only one that didn't know this?" Wufei growled dropping his head on to the table with a thud.

"Trowa and Melody don't know." Duo supplied.

"Oh Trowa knows, he just refuses to believe it." Quatre countered joining the others at the table.

"I don't get something," Duo said thoughtfully "Why is Trowa so over protective of Mel?"

"Because he is her brother," Heero replied

"I know that but this is more than that I mean when you look at Trowa and Mel then you look at Quatre and his sister there is a very big difference in how they act towards each other."

"You know I was wondering the something on a couple months ago." Wufei mumbled resting his head on his arms so that he was looking at Quatre.

"That is because there are very big differences in our family past." Quatre sighed

"Like what?" Duo asked he was always fascinated by family and every thing that came with being in one.

"Well for starter in my family I am the baby and from all that we can tell Melody is the youngest. Then you have the fact that my sister's have always known about me and some of them even grow up with me. In Trowa's case he didn't even know he had a sister other than Cathy. If you will watch Cathy is protective of Trowa as well as Melody." Quatre got up and made him self some more tea while he spoke

"True but Cathy is no where near as bad as Trowa is." Heero interjected getting up to make himself something to eat.

"That's because Cathy doesn't know everything about how we found her." Quatre replied rejoining the table.

"How does that change anything, they are still siblings." Duo asks watching Heero.

"I get it." Heero said softly as he set his sandwich on the table and want to grab a soda from the pantry.

"Get what?" Duo asked stealing Heero's sandwich and taking a big bite out of it.

"Trowa blames him self for what happened to Melody. He thinks if he had done a better job on the reconnaissance part of the mission he would have found her sooner. He thinks he could have forced the mission up faster and he could have saved her from what happened to her." Quatre mumble staring down at his tea cup, "No matter what I say he refuses to believe that it wasn't his fault. I keep telling him that he couldn't have known but he won't listen to reason." Heero put his hand on Quatre shoulder and smiled down at him he understood loving someone that blamed himself for stuff that was out of his control and feeling helpless because he couldn't say or do anything to comfort that person. Duo was the same way sometimes.

Wufei set at the table thinking over everything that had happened over the last two years and about everything that had just been said. He tried to figure out just when his feelings for Melody had changed but he was having a hard time putting his finger on exactly when it had happened. Slowly he got up from the table where Heero was now glaring at Duo and demanding that Duo make him another sandwich and Quatre was watching the fight with a small smile on his face. He slowly made his way up to his and Melody's room to look in on her. As he walked into their room a smile graced his face, Melody had fallen asleep while working on her laptop and was now slumped her laptop in what Wufei was almost positive as the most uncomfortable position in the world.

Carefully as not to wake her, Wufei cleared off the bed and moved her so that she was lying on her side facing the outside of the bed. Gently he pulled the covers over her the whole time watching her face to make sure he didn't wake her. As he watched her sleep his eyes were drawn to her lips. They looked so soft making him wonder what it would be like to kiss them. Very slowly he bent down and before he could stop himself or change his mind he softly pressed his lips to hers. Quickly her pulled away embarrassed at what he had done he left the room to go train.
