Hmmm I'm still not totally sure on the story, but I'll keep going and hopefully it's acceptable.
Trowa locked the door behind him and placed his coat on the rack. He walked into the living room and saw Zehn playing with a fire truck on the floor and Quatre was sitting on the coach staring off into the hallway.
"Hey you two."
Zehn looked up and smiled at Trowa before focusing his attention back on the toy truck.
Trowa frowned when Quatre didn't reply and went to sit next to him on the couch.
"Quatre is something wrong?"
Quatre seemed to snap out of his daze and looked at Trowa.
"What?"
"I asked if something was wrong?"
Quatre shook his head. "I'm just tired is all." He suddenly stood up. "I want to go lie down. Can you watch Zehn? Zechs and Noin are on their way to pick him up now."
Before Trowa could reply Quatre headed to the bedroom. Trowa racked his brain, but he couldn't come up with a reason for Quatre being distant toward him. He was sure that nothing had happened before he left for work.
Trowa looked down at Zehn playing on the floor and sat down next to him. It was a long shot, but maybe the little boy could give him some answers.
"Hey Zehn, did anything happen while I was gone today?"
"I played ball...and had lots of snack."
"Is that all?"
Zehn pushed the truck on the floor towards Trowa before answering.
"I'm not supposed to talk to strangers."
Trowa raised his eyebrow at the comment, but Zehn went back to focusing on his toy so Trowa gave up trying to pry information from the toddler.
Trowa sighed as he walked into the bedroom he shared with Quatre. Zehn's parents had just picked him up and now he could focus totally on Quatre, who was currently curled up on the bed, hugging one of his pillows.
Trowa sat on the bed and ran his hand through Quatre's hair.
"Quatre are you going to tell me what's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong." Quatre mumbled into the pillow.
"Quatre."
Quatre sighed and let go of Trowa's pillow as he sat up.
"I'm sorry."
"Quatre you don't have to apologize just tell me what's going on?"
Quatre debated whether he wanted to tell Trowa or not, but he decided it was best if he did.
"...Duo came to visit today."
Trowa froze at the statement. The whole reason he was able to be here with Quatre was because Duo left Quatre alone. Since then Trowa made it his duty to comfort Quatre and show him that someone did love him. If Duo was back that meant that he might lose Quatre.
"And what happened?" Trowa asked as calmly as possible.
Quatre frowned. "Duo said he wanted me to be with him."
"And what did you say?"
Suddenly Quatre stopped frowning and spoke with anger lacing his voice.
"What did I say? What do you think I said? That bastard thinks he can come back here after two years and everything will be okay. Well it's not. I don't want him. I don't even want to see his face. I fucking hate him Trowa...I hate him."
Tears started rolling down Quatre's face and even though Trowa was surprised at Quatre's rapid mood change he stillwrapped his arms around the blonde and rubbed his back soothingly.
"It's going to be okay."
"I'm sorry, Trowa."
"Shh." Trowa held Quatre tighter and kissed the top of his head.
Quatre fisted his hands in Trowa's shirt and looked up with fear in his eyes.
"You're not going to leave me are you? You'll stay with me?"
Trowa held Quatre's face in between his hands. "I'm not leaving you Quatre. I love you and I'm not going anywhere. I promise."
Trowa kissed Quatre gently and wiped the tears from Quatre's face. Trowa never wanted to see Quatre sad and he would do anything in his power to keep a smile on his face. Trowa kissed Quatre again, making sure to pour all his love into the kiss.
Quatre pulled back and gave a little smile.
"Thank you so much Trowa...I'm sorry for crying, it's just..." Quatre sighed. "I'm just angry and sad. I thought we were over and then he comes back and..."
Trowa pulled Quatre down onto the bed with and held him close. "You don't have to apologize. I love you."
Quatre snuggled up to Trowa. "I love you too, Trowa. Thanks for understanding."
Yay this chapter is slightly longer.
