Tenderness:
Part5
Trowa came around the corner along with Duo when they spotted Quatre. His eyes looked so lost then out of nowhere Quatre jumped on top of a boy and began punching him in the face over and over with tears streaming down his.
Trowa didn't see hate in his eyes it was panic. "You bastard!" Quatre yelled at the boy. "Don't ever touch my family again." Wufei regained his senses and tried to pulled Quatre off of him but Quatre was a lot stronger than he looked.
Trowa only thought one thing who hurt you little one?
Wufei yelled, "Quatre stop." It was as though Quatre couldn't hear him though. Trowa stepped in and pulled Quatre off the boy and carried him away. Quatre kicked and screamed the whole way.
Wufei pulled his car around as Trowa held him tightly. Trowa held Quatre in the back seat and Duo rode shotgun along side Wufei. Trowa gave light reassuring touches trying to calm him down. After awhile Quatre tired himself out and fell asleep in his arms.
Trowa laid him in bed and covered him up. Trowa watched him sleep and thought. He truly does look like an angel.
Trowa left the room and joined the others. "Where's his parents?" he asked Wufei.
"Dead. A few months back there was a car accident and Quatre was the only survivor." My poor angel.
Trowa went back inside the bedroom and watched over Quatre holding his hand.
Meanwhile.........
Duo got a bowl of water and a washcloth so he could clean Wufei's cuts. When he approached him Wufei yelled, "I don't need your help!"
"Yeah right, don't be such a baby." And began with his intended task. I wonder how close he is with Quatre. I'll have to remind myself to ask later.
Wufei felt an odd tingle as Duo carefully cleaned his cuts. He didn't give himself away though he just glared at Duo in a threatening way. He couldn't fool him. "Glare at me all you want I know it's just a disguise." Only Quatre had been able to see through his mask. Duo was extremely careful and tender he didn't want to harm Wufei. "Do you think Quatre will be all right?"
"I don't know. Ya know when I first met him I didn't think he had it in him."
"He doesn't like violence. It angers him when those he cares about are threatened though. I hope he's all right."
"I'm sorry to break it to you but, I think Trowa has a thing for him."
Wufei smiled, "Quatre is my best friend infact we consider each other brothers. Do you always make snap judgments about people? You're assumptions are unjustified."
"I get the impression id you don't use that word several times a day it's just not complete."
Wufei was so tired. Duo sat next too him on the couch when Wufei dozed off and fell asleep leaning on Duo's shoulder.

Quatre walked over to a steam it was flat and motionless. He saw nothing around no people no animals not a single sound. Beside the lake he felt like he was drifting into nothingness.
Quatre could hear a dripping sound. Drip Drip drip Quatre followed the sound. It was another part of the lake with a small waterfall. This was not any ordinary though it was not water falling but blood. Dark red blood and though he hadn't touched it his hands were covered in it. Quatre shut his eyes tightly trying to block it out.
After what seemed like hours he opened his eyes but his surrounding were no longer the same. Quatre walked and tripped over something. It was a body a familiar one at that. Quatre turned the body over and it was Wufei.
Quatre looked around and the grounds were cover with the bodies of his now deceased family. Quatre held his brother's body tightly crying and screaming at the same time. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
**********************************************
"AHHHHH!" Quatre yelled when he woke up. Wufei heard the yell and ran inside to see Quatre crying. "Don't die Wufei." After hearing this Wufei took him in his arms and held him. "I'm all right little brother."
"But the blood...."
"It was just a scratch. But for the record I could have taken him." Quatre smiled and noticed Trowa in the chair next to him. He looked at Wufei and Wufei got the message. He left when Duo didn't get the hint Wufei dragged him by his braid.
Trowa held Quatre's hand once again. Quatre grabbed his pills out of his drawer and swallowed a couple followed by a couple sips of water.
"Sorry about this you must think I'm nuts."
"Not at all. Wufei told me your parents were killed in a car accident."
"Sort of."
"Sort of?"
"We were driving home when my father saw that someone was stranded on the side of the road. He stopped to help and a man shot him. Some of it is a blur but the men opened fire on all of us. I can still hear the scream and see the blood. I was shot twice in my legs and once in the back. I survived though. I'm still recovering I have to go to physical therapy three time a week. I am not allowed to 'over do it' either."
"I'm so sorry you had to go through that." Trowa leaned over and kissed Quatre full on the lips. Quatre shoved him away and Trowa seemed confused. "I don't need any pity kisses. Kiss me because you want to not because you feel sorry for me."
