~runs out, carrying her sign again~
~holds it above her head~ 'Alright folks, it's Shounen Ai! I hope ya don't mind, because if you do, you may leave now!'
~spins it around~ 'Quatre and Trowa! And quite possibly Duo and Heero!!'
~spins it again to the disclaimers side~ 'I own this fic and I own Gundam Wing, too! *BWUAHAHAHA!* Okay, not really, but I really and truly wish I did so I could buy a really big refrigorator and move into that box'
~spins it once more~ 'Contrary to what you might think right now, this is a perfectly serious fic!'
Oh, yeah! ~~~ signals a POV change. It goes Trowa to Quatre to Trowa to... Well, you get the idea. I'm sure you'd figure it out yourselves, anyway!
A Slip of a Knife: Trowa's eyes, as green as jealousy?
~By Chibi Lurrel
I watched them walk in through the door. Well, it's not as if I was sitting out there waiting for them to show up, I was merely sitting in the living room reading, and they tumbled through the door laughing and talking loudly. So it's not as if they were hard to miss.
Duo had wanted to go for a walk into the nearby town, and had dragged Quatre along.
They ran in through the door in a burst of freezing air from the winter outside, both flushed and smiling. Duo grabbed Quatre's hand and said loudly, "C'mon, let's go into my room, it's warmer than the other in this chilly cabin!" They ran off to Duo's room. It's times like these that I envy Duo's ability to talk and joke. I love to see Quatre smile, his face simply glows. And Duo seems to have a knack at getting him to do so, too. They always joke around together, too. Perhaps it's because they're the only ones who truly remember how to smile. Perhaps something more. God, I hope not....
Duo bounced out of the room again, almost as quickly as they had gone in. He knocked on Heero's door, Quatre giggling behind him. I watched them from my spot on the couch. "C'mon out, Heero! A man needs more than just his laptop for entertainment, and we've got a plan for it tonight!" A wicked grin spread over his face. "Unless you're doing what I think you might be doing in there on that computer of yours'! You hentai!" Heero's door burst open. "Omao o korusu!" he said, holding a gun in hand. Of which he pulled the trigger. I jumped out of my chair, only to hear Duo yell, "Oi! Heero! You got my shirt all wet with that stupid water gun! Gah! It was only funny the first time!" Quatre was almost in hysterics by then, and I calmly sat down. Damn Yuy's infernal water gun. We were going to have to take that away from him soon. Wufei stormed out of his room at all the commotion. "What's going on in here!?" he demanded. Duo grinned and grabbed Wufei's shoulders. "Wufei, just the person I wanted to see!" Wufei groaned. "I hope not, Maxwell." "Well, actually, Quatre and I were planning to have some fun with you guys tonight! Today in town we picked up some stuff to have and all night slumber party! Movies and everything!" Quatre held up a very large paper bag that I hadn't noticed earlier. "Yup! What do you say?" Quatre asked. Wufei looked shocked and horrified at the idea. Quatre looked at him with his best puppy dog eyes. No one could resist his cute puppy dog eyes. "Oh, come on Wufei, have a little fun and relax!" He sighed and gave in. "Heero?" Duo asked. Heero looked glum. "Oh, I insist!" cried Duo as he slipped into Heero's room to grab his blankets.
Quatre walked over toward me, and I quickly acted like I had been reading the whole time. He laid a hand on my shoulder and smiled down at me. "Trowa, did you hear?" I nodded. "Will you join us tonight?" I looked up at him, and smiled. "Sure."
~~~
Oh God. His smile. Trowa. Smiled. At. Me. Smiled. Me! Oh, I felt so happy then. His smile was beautiful, just like the rest of him. And it was brief, leaving me longing for more. I long to make him smile again. He never smiles. Why did he smile at me? I don't care any longer. He did smile, a smile meant for me alone. I will treasure the moment. Forever. And I'll be sure to get him to smile again.
~~~
Quatre stared at me for a second, still grinning. He looked dazed, but seemed to snap out of it quickly. "That's great!" He let go of my shoulder and walked over to Duo, grabbed his arm, and dragged him into the kitchen. "You guys set up in here and pick the first movie!" He returned with a large stack of movies from the bag, then retreated to the kitchen. I watched him as he left. Beautiful. All of him.
~~~
I closed the door to the kitchen quickly, then almost collapsed. Duo came up to me. "So, do you think it's going to work?" he whispered. "Well, of course it's going to work! It has to work!" Duo grinned. "Okays then! Now, lets make the cocoa and popcorn!"
After making several bags of microwave popcorn and pouring them into bowls, whipping up lots of hot cocoa, and finding the marshmallows (which were in the bottom of the bag, already half eaten. How Duo does it, I'll never fathom!), we finally sauntered out into the living room. "So, did you pick a movie?" I asked. "Yup!" said Heero as he shoved the gory cover of the horror flick in my face. "Oi, Duo, why'd you go and rent that!?" He elbowed me in the ribs and whispered. "Hey, you can act all scared and cuddle with him!" I giggled and proceeded to pass out the food.
~~~
I sat on the couch, fairly happy as Quatre snuggled even closer to me and buried his face in my chest as another person got their head lopped off with a chainsaw. He squirmed. "Is it over?" "Yeah....oh, nevermind, there goes somebody else." He looked up at me with big, scared, blue eyes. I loved his eyes. They always seemed ready to swallow me whole. I ruffled his hair in what I hope came off as a comforting gesture, and not flirtatious as it really was. He sighed, and snuggled closer to me, but he wasn't scared. His body was now relaxed, and I looked down at him again. His beautiful blue eyes were closed, and a slight smile was resting on his lips. I put my arms around him.
~~~
I sighed and snuggled closer to him, and wrapped my arms loosely around his waist. I grinned even wider as he wraps my up in his arms. I feel so safe there, snuggled against him. I hope this isn't something he'll regret later, something I'll regret later. "Trowa..." I whispered into his chest. He jerked and let his arms dropped. "Gomen!" "No, no!" I didn't know what else to say. I looked up at him, pleaded with him with my eyes to replace his embrace. He shocked me. He was smiling. Another smile. Just for me. I love his smiles. They light up his whole face like a ray of sunshine. I smiled back, and he put his arms back around me. Safe and warm. And almost....at peace there, in his embrace.
~~~
I smile to myself, on the inside this time, as Quatre's breathing slowed. He fell asleep in my arms. This makes me feel happy. It means he forgave me for the earlier incident, for running away from him like some coward. I stood up, cradling him in my arms. "I'm going to put Quatre to bed." Duo began talking from his spot on the floor, beside Heero. "Already! But we've still got three more slasher flicks to watch!" He looked up at me, holding the sleeping boy in my arms. "Oooh, nevermind then."
I walked out of the darkened living room and into the room we shared. I laid him down on the end of the bed for a moment, turning down the sheets. Then I tucked him in. And sat down on the edge of it, near him. I tousled his hair. "Quatre...my little angel." And I bent down and kissed him, first on the forehead. I looked down at his face, still leaned close in. I gave in, and brushed a gentle kiss against his soft lips. His eyelashes fluttered, but he failed to awaken. I got up and walked to the door way and clicked off the lights. "Good night, and sleep well my Quatre."
~~~
I felt his lips brush against mine. The touch sent a thrill through my body. But he thought I was asleep, and I let him continue on with that belief. "Good night, and sleep well, my Quatre." I heard him whisper as he turned off the lights and walked out. I smiled to myself. 'His little Quatre.' I mused. Yes, I liked that. "Good night, Trowa, my heart." I whisper into the night as sleep conquered me.
