Tenderness:
Part 2
Trowa walked down towards his locker his first day back at school. E couldn't help but think of Quatre. Sweet kind beautiful Quatre. He had tried to find out about him when he woke up but the nurse had no idea who he was talking about. The thought of not seeing him again saddened him.
As Trowa was lost in thought someone jumped out at him. "Hello Duo."
"You still mad Tro?" asked his friend.
"No Duo. If it hadn't happened I never would have met him."
"Not this again. You got it bad. Every since you were discharged it been Quatre this and Quatre that. He must be special if he has you smitten after only a few minutes."
"If only I could see him again."
"You're such a downer."
"Hunh?"
"What makes you think you won't? Sometime you just gotta have faith."
*********************************************************************
Quatre shoved his jacket in his locker when his best friend approached. Scaring the hell out of Quatre.
"Jeez Wufei don't do that." Quatre said as he tried to catch his breath.
"He's still bothering? Listen you've got to learn how to fight so you can defend yourself. The last person who rejected Jack is now a vegetable."
"I'll be all right."
Wufei balled up his fist and started to swing at Quatre only stopping inches from his face. "You see how easy it would have been. I could teach. I just worry about you."
"I know. I appreciate it. The truth is I wasn't even thinking about him."
"Then who?" Wufei asked poking him. Quatre blushed at the thought of Trowa.
"Don't tell me the boy at the hospital again. I thought you were going to go back and see him."
"I was but he was gone. He had already checked out. I hope he's OK." Quatre was worried about the mysterious boy. He wondered if he was OK. If was sake if he had someone special in his life. Some as special as him probly did.
"I'm sure he is." The bell rang and the two friend's parted ways.
Quatre went back to thinking about Trowa and realized he was late so he began running down the hall. When he ran right into someone. Quatre began to apologize as he got up he saw who it was. The two figures stared into each other's eyes. The he spoke.
"Quatre."
"Trowa." Quatre answered.
