~runs out with her impossible sign set on 'Shounen Ai'~ "If you couldn't tell by the other two, this is SHOUNEN AI! Meaning= Boy Love. Meaning= Two Boys! Quatre and Trowa!! They are soooo sweet!"
~flips it~ "Disclaimers-I don't own 'em! Okay? But I'm thinking about capturing them and locking them in my refrigerator box until they do my bidding…But I'm sure you didn't need to know…."
~flip her sign again~ "Okay, read on. It's safe, I'm done!"
A Slip of a Knife: The Mission? Is forgotten.
~by Chibi Lurrel~
I peered over Heero's laptop, scanning through the newest mission. "New mission for us?" I asked, eyebrow raised. Heero shook his head. "Not 'us,'" he corrected. "You and Quatre." I blinked and almost let my face betray my emotion. Quatre could do that to me, even inadvertently. I sighed and sat down. It would mean almost 5 days with just Quatre as company. Sharing the mission. Sharing a room... My thoughts trailed off. The mission didn't require our Gundams, so we would be driving there. A simple run-in-and-get-the-
data-then-blow-it-up type of mission. Mission were missions, to be taken seriously. But I was having trouble shoving the naughty thoughts that floated through my head away. Heero was telling me the specifics of the mission, and I was half-listening, but not really paying attention. When he finished, I looked up at him and said, "Why'd they assign both of us to this mission? I'm perfectly capable of doing this by myself!" I only said this because I hadn't heard the footsteps behind me, or noticed Heero's eyes flashing when he nodded silently.
~*~*~
I walked in on Trowa and Heero, just as Trowa said this. A pained look passed over my face, no matter how I tried to hide it. Heero's eyes flashed at me. Trowa didn't think I was good enough to join him on a mission? Maybe he didn't think I strong enough or capable of helping him. Well, I'd show him! "Hi guys!" I said. Trowa seemed to jump up. "Q-q-Quatre!" "Trowa." I peered at the laptop. "New mission?" Heero nodded. "It's for you and Trowa." I almost let a smile at this thought pass over my face, but I quickly squashed it. I was still going to be mad at him...

It had been an extremely long car ride. I swear you could probably cut the tension in the car with a knife. I didn't bring up his comment. He didn't either. In fact, he didn't say much of anything. He had fallen asleep.
When we reached the hotel, it was almost two in the morning. I woke Trowa up gently, pushing him in the shoulder. "Hmm...?" he said, groggily. I smiled in spite of myself. He looked so cute, just leaning there, dazed and confused. "Trowa, we're here!" "Mmm...." He blinked the sleep out of his eyes. I couldn't stay mad at him. He was just so cute there! "Wake up and get out, sleepy head!" "M'kay..."
I got out of the driver's seat. I was pretty tired myself. I wished I could have slept through the trip. I walked over to the passenger's side and swung open the truck's door. Trowa was snoring softly again. I giggled and poked him. He didn't wake. I got a bit more bold and clambered up into the car and leaned over him. "Trowa?" Snore. I took a deep breath, and kissed him. *This* woke him up. His beautiful green eyes fluttered open and he sputtered. "Q-q-Quatre!? QUATRE?" I giggled. "Trowa? You're awake! C'mon, we're here. I picked up the bags from his side and hopped out. He fumbled with his seatbelt and jumped out. And landed on his foot wrong. "Ow!" he cried out. "Trowa!" I squatted down next to him. "You okay?" "Oww. I think I sprained my ankle." I looked down at his foot. He had landed on it wrong. I helped him up. "Just lean on me, m'kay?" He nodded, still tired. I smiled and we limped over to the hotel from the parking lot.
The lady behind the counter blinked at us when we walked in. She looked just as exhausted as Trowa did. I smiled at her. "Do you have any rooms left?" She looked up at me blearily. "Yeah. Sharing a room won't be a problem, will it? Cause we've only got one left." She eyed us again. Trowa had his arm over my shoulder. I blushed. "It doesn't matter right now. We're both very tired, you see." She nodded and hand me the keys. I paid for it and we started up the stairs to our room.
~*~*~
When I opened the door to our room, I blushed again. There was only one bed. Good thing it was a big bed. there was also a relatively big couch. I sighed and helped Trowa onto the bed. "You don't mind sharing, little Quatre?" I smiled. "Not if you don't. Trowa." He smiled back at me. I quickly stripped down to my boxer and fell on top of the bed, utterly exhausted. Trowa was curled up in a ball beside me, already asleep. I smiled wearily and stood up and tucked him under the covers. I managed to pull off his shirt and shoes, too. I spent a moment simply admiring his fine figure, then quickly snapped out of it. I snuggled into bed besides him, and quickly fell into sleep.
~*~*~
I woke up in the middle of the night, only to find Quatre curled up behind me, sleeping soundly. I stumbled over to the bathroom, very sleepy. When I emerged, Quatre had shifted, his little face toward me, and the moonlight softly cascading over him. Beautiful. Bello. Bonita... My thoughts trailed off into the many variations of the word I knew. Sleep deprivation can do that to you. I fell onto the bed beside him with a loud thump and crack. The bed shuddered for a moment, and I suddenly realized what was going to happen. And it did. *BOOM!* The bed collapsed. Quatre screamed as it did, waking up. "TROWA! What happened?" He cried, clutching his head. I scrambled up from the wreckage, surveying the damage. "It collapsed." "Well, I had noticed that. Owww, my head!" He stood up slowly and picked him way out of the damaged bed. "I guess it's the couch tonight, neh Trowa?" "You should get it, you banged your head." "No, I insist that you take it. I'm not delicate, you know!" he snapped. A worried look passed over my face, unseen in the dark. What had made him say that. My brain was fuzzy from want of sleep. "I guess we'll have to share the couch, eh?" Quatre nodded, also not thinking straight, I guess. He retrived the blankets from the wood that had been the bed. I shrugged and lay down on the couch, wondering how he was going to fit. He spread the blanket over me and got in.
~*~*~
I crawled in beside Trowa, my groggy mind already reistering this as a mistake. I tried to stay on the couch and not touch Trowa in any way possible. It didn't work. "T-t-trowa?" I asked. His turned over, to rest on his side. "Yeah, my little Quatre?" "I'm falling off!" I cried out as I fell. Strong arms wrapped around me, catching me before I even got off the couch. "T-trowa?" He smiled at me, I think. It was hard to tell, and he pulled me close up against his muscular body. "I think I love you." I buried my head into his neck.
~*~*~
I wrapped my arms around Quatre, with no intention of ever, not ever, letting go. "I think I may love you, too, my little Quatre. My little one." I could feel him grin and sigh into my neck. I allowed myself another smile, and kissed the top of his head. He was asleep. I soon followed.

So, what did ya'll think? Hmmm? Cute? Horrible? You want more? Go ahead and tell meeeeee! I'm thinking of writing what Duo and Heero did during this time (I just can't let a good title go to waste....). Although, if the mood takes me (i.e., I get enough requests), I might continue this with Trowa and Quatre...... *evil chuckle* Hope you liked! Review, please minna-san?? *big sad Quatre-puppy-eyes* Puh-leeeeez!???
