I'm so terribly sorry for the lateness of this chapter. I hit a momentary stump and it took me a while to get through it. I worked on it then had to stop for some months and then worked on it some more before stopping for another period of time, but I think I found my grove again.

I apologize again for those who have been reading diligently and been patiently waiting for more of this story.

The door suddenly slammed shut and a sturdy arm wrapped around Quatre's waist.

Wufei laid his head on top of Quatre's and spoke in a desperate whisper. "Please, Quatre don't go."

"I thought….you wanted me to go?" Quatre replied in a broken whisper.

Wufei's hold tightened. "No. Not until we settle this the right way…Please, Quatre I don't want it to end like this. Please stay. We could both use some time to cool down and talk about this properly. What do you say?"

Quatre nodded his head slowly. "If that's what you want Wufei."

Wufei released his hold on Quatre and backed away. Quatre took a moment to compose himself before he turned around to face Wufei again and even though Quatre avoided making eye contact with him, Wufei could still see the unshed tears in his eyes.

Wufei silently directed Quatre into the living room to sit on the couch while he went into the kitchen to get some water for the both of them. He knew this next conversation with Quatre was going to be one of the hardest in his entire life.

Quatre sat on the couch with his hands folded in his lap. What was he going to say to Wufei that he didn't' already say?

Wufei sat down next to Quatre silently, handing him a full water bottle. Quatre took it nodding his thanks and took a long swig.

"Wufei I don't know what to tell you, expect that I'm sorry and that I can promise you that it will never happen again."

Wufei nodded slowly. To tell the truth he didn't know what he wanted Quatre to say either.

"So you were telling the truth when you told me you went to the conference on L3?"

"Yes."

"That's all it was?"

Quatre fidgeted a little. "Not exactly. Trowa asked me to stay another day to come see some of the filming of his movie take place. That's why I was there another day. And then when we left the airport….I don't know things just got out of hand and we kissed. But that's it nothing else happen .As soon as I realized what was going on I stopped it. I know that doesn't make up for what I did Wufei, but you have to believe me that it was a one time thing."

Wufei took Quatre's shaking hand into his and looked him right in the eye. "I do believe you."

"What? You do?"

"Yes, but this just further justifies that you and Trowa still have unfinished business with each other."

"What? Wufei, no I-"

"No let me finish." Quatre closed his mouth and allowed Wufei to continue.

"Maybe it was my fault for pressuring you into a relationship so soon after you broke up with Trowa, but I know you still have some feelings for Trowa and vice versa. Don't deny it Quatre you know its true. You might have tried to force them down and cast them away, but the feelings are there."

Quatre turned away from Wufei's searching eyes. "I'm sorry Wufei it's just that…It's been months Wufei and I felt fine, like Trowa was just a step and I had found so much better, but then we started talking and those feelings started uprising again." He turned back to Wufei and cried desperately. "I love you Wufei and that's a fact. I'm not lying to you."

"That may be true Quatre, but I think you need to settle this with Trowa before we go any further."

"….Are we breaking up?" Quatre asked softly.

Wufei shook his head. "No Quatre, I just want to make sure that being with me is what you want. Go talk to Trowa see if there is still that spark there and if you want to be with him again then fine I can deal with that and move on, but if you decide you want to be with me instead then I'll be here for you."

"Really?"

"Yes, but I just have one more thing to ask."

"Anything Wufei."

"Did you really mean that part about Sally?"

Quatre turned his head. "Wufei I was angry I said some things I shouldn't have said."

"You wouldn't have brought that issue up if you didn't find it relevant. Why didn't you ever say you had a problem with me working with Sally?"

Quatre started twisting his hands again it was becoming a real bad habit for him. "I didn't want to seem like a nag or anything. Besides you don't question my work, so it didn't seem fit to question yours."

"Quatre…"

"I'm not going to tell you who you can or can't work with Wufei. I'm not going to burden you with my insecurities."

"You still could have voiced your concerns if it really bothered you." Wufei pointed out. "But I should have realized it troubled you."

"No. I can't expect you to know what's going on inside my head." Quatre shook his head. "Trowa and I didn't communicate that's why…that's why what happened between us did happen. Trowa didn't say anything was wrong and I ignored the signs. I…I can't believe I let it happen again. I didn't want for it to happen again."

Wufei brushed a lock of hair behind Quatre's ear. "So you'll talk to me…tell me if something is wrong? Even if we're just friends?"

It pained Quatre to hear Wufei speak of them as just friends, but he nodded. "I promise, Wufei." He stood up. "I should go."

Wufei followed Quatre to the door. Before Quatre could say something Wufei pulled him into a hug. Wufei held on tightly for a few seconds before releasing him.

Quatre looked up at Wufei and saw the suppressed emotion in his eyes. Quatre trailed his fingertips along Wufei's jaw before brushing his lips against Wufei's. "Thank you Wufei. For everything."

Wufei could only nod, not confident he could speak without his emotions taking over.

"Meet me at my house, tomorrow evening, around 6?" Asked Quatre hopefully.

"You sure…" Wufei cleared his throat. "You sure that's going to be enough time?"

"Yes. I don't want to drag things out any longer. I want to settle things as as soon as possible."

"I'll be there."

Quatre gave a little smile and walked to his car. Wufei waited and watched until Quatre was driving away, before he closed the door. He sighed as he placed his fingers on his lips wondering if that would be the last time Quatre's lips would touch his own.

Duo: Yeah that was a boring chapter.

BigSis: Boring? What are you talking about? They just had a heart to heart talk. It was bittersweet.

Duo: Yeah well you left the most important person out.

BigSis: Trowa?

Duo: Who? No I'm talking about me.

BigSis: Duo this is a love triangle story and you aren't in that triangle.

Duo: I know that, but I still think the people miss me.

BigSis: Fine, how about I pop you into the next chapter.

Duo: Perfect and since we are on the topic of me lets talk about the rest of my demands. I need to be in at least half of each chapter. You need to make sure you express the importance of me in every chapter. You need….

BigSis: (covers ears) Needy characters, what can you do?
