Part 8

By Backlash

"So Duo, you think he still loves me then?" asked Trowa.

"Well Duh."

"then why?"

"I think he's afraid of what you'll think of him. I know there's other stuff I don't know about. I think you two just need to talk."

***************

"As soon as I get back from this mission. It will be my priority."

They all had missions that day. Wufei, Heero and Duo had missions to far away to return right away. So it would be just Quatre and Trowa alone together. Quatre suddenly felt strange someone close to him was hurt he could feel it.

Quatre pretended to be working on his Sandrock when Heavyarms landed. He didn't want Trowa knowing he was worried about him. Minutes passed then Trowa finally came out. As he began to walk he fell to the ground and passed out.

"TROWA!!!!!" Quatre yelled in a panic. He ran to his side and saw blood dripping from his head and side.

Quatre paced back and fourth waiting for the doctor to come out. Please be all right Trowa. Please don't leave me. Don't die on me. Please Finally the doctor emerged from the room. "He'll be fine with plenty of rest. He'll need someone to take care of him. He's very weak."

"Thank you doctor."

Quatre took excellent care of Trowa. He still hadn't spoken to him but now it was just out of fear. He was scared to talk to him. He had waited to long and now didn't know how to start a conversation with Trowa.

Trowa was happy that Quatre was taking care of him. It made him feel so good inside. Infact he wasn't even in that much pain anymore but didn't want it to end so he faked it. Trowa started to get up to go to the bathroom and winced in pain. He fell to the ground and closed his eyes. Quatre saw and ran over to him. "Trowa?" he was checking his body four bruises.

Trowa wasn't responding. "Trowa? PPlease wake up. Please?" Quatre was scared he started crying . Trowa had been faking and could feel the tears hitting his cheeks as Quatre cried. He hadn't meant to make him cry he was just trying to prove a point.

Trowa opened his eyes. Quatre saw Trowa sit up and was in shock. "I'm sorry Quatre. I just wanted to show you. "

"You were faking?" he asked.

"Yeah." Trowa confessed waiting to be yelled at.

"THANK GOODNESS!!!!" he lunged at Trowa and held him tightly. Quatre held him like there was no tomorrow.

"I'm so sorry I left like that. I was afraid of what you would think of me after seeing what they did to me."

"No. I love you. No matter what happens I will always love you. Your my soulmate Trowa."

"And your mine. For the first time in my life I've ever said this but Duo's right we need to talk."

"Agreed. You don't have to tell me Trowa. I know what happened I could feel your shame your terror. It wasn't your fault Love. You did nothing wrong." Quatre caressed Trowa's cheek lovingly.

"Thank you. I needed to hear that. You need your pills to stay focused or the pain becomes unbearable. What happened to your leg?"

"My sister's ex would beat her. When I found out I stepped in he got mad when I went up there. He grabbed a steel pipe and hit me with it. He was drunk at the time and passed out right after. He was arrested. He was a idiot I'm sorry I just should of told you."

"It's all right. I wasn't exactly Mr. trust. I should have just trusted you I'm sorry. I don't want to lose you Quatre. I.. I love you."

"You haven't lost me. Let's not keep things from eachother anymore."

"I agree. I love you too much for that to happen. I was starting to think you were going to get with Duo. I was so jealous."

"I was only having a little fun with you."

"So you were trying to make me crazy on purpose?"

"Your so cute when you pout." Quatre laughed.

Trowa picked him up and threw him lightly on the bed. He laid on top of him and he kissed him lightly. "You of course know that you have to be punished." Trowa began to tickle Quatre fiercely. Quatre couldn't stop laughing. He turned off the light and kissed tenderly.

He wrapped his arms around Quatre and held him.

THE End.
