Ai Shiteru, Quatre-kun
Part 4
Note: Ionia wrote this while eating Frosted Flakes, which gives her a major sugar high. Meaning...HYPER! ^^
Warning: No more hinting of yaoi, as in the last part. This actually has kissing in it. (Mild yaoi: (1,2 Hinting)(3+4) Oh, I hate doing that to Quatre! Maybe I've read too much fanfiction for my own good...(((_^)
My eyes fluttered open. Someone was calling my name, but I could hardly see anything.
"Quatre...thank God you're still here." It was Trowa, from how the voice sounded. "I found the antidote for the poison. The problem is, it has to be ground up, and I don't think you are up to chewing yet. You're still weak."
I smiled, then coughed. I could almost hear Trowa's face sink with concern. "Quatre, I'm going to chew it in my mouth, then I'll push it into your mouth and you swallow." I remember this. I saw something like it on the Discovery Channel. The mom chewed up the food, then put it in the baby's mouth.
I heard Trowa stick the leaves in his mouth. Moments later, I felt warm breath on my face, and Trowa's lips touched mine.
Now, if my temperature had been taken then, I think it would have read at least 130 degrees. I blushed -very- hard, but then I felt the chewed up leaves enter my mouth. I did as Trowa instructed, and swallowed. The leaves tasted very bitter.
"There. It should take effect soon. In the meantime, why don't you get some sleep?"
I smiled. "I will." He turned to walk away, but stopped and turned around.
"There's something you want to say, isn't there?"
I blushed. "Well...uh...um..."
Trowa smiled. "It's ok. You don't have to tell me. I already know." Then, he went back to his tent. I wondered, did he think that I wanted to say thank you, or did he know...?
*****
I woke up the next morning to yelling. I peeked out of the tent, and Duo ram by me. Heero was chasing him, yelling, "Omae o korusu!" I looked closer, and saw that Heero had white make-up all over his face. I couldn't help but laugh.
From the fire pit, I heard talking. Wu Fei and Trowa were over there making breakfast. I climbed out of my tent. Somehow, I felt stronger than I had last night. I looked at my leg, and there were no dressings on it. When I pulled my pant leg up, there wasn't anything there. Not even a scar.
I walked to the fire pit. Wu Fei looked up from...whatever he was making. "Well, so you're awake. And walking yet!" He looked at Trowa. "When did you get the antidote?"
"Last night." He took a sip of his tea. Wu Fei just shrugged and continued with breakfast. I sat on the log, next to Trowa. He looked at me. "Feeling any better?"
"Yeah. I feel great!" He smiled.
"The plants on this planet can work wonders, can't they?"
"Yeah! No kidding!" Then it hit me. Did he say "this planet"?
"I meant that all the plants on Earth have healing properties. Just some more than others." Wow! He read my mind! Either that or he had just read my expression. We sat in silence until Wu Fei got breakfast ready.
*****
"Itai..." Duo groaned as he rubbed his head. While being chased by Heero, he had hit his head on a low tree branch.
"Serves you right." It's been a long time since I heard Heero laugh, I mean -really- laugh, but he laughed right then. His eyes lit up, then he grabbed Duo and ran off. Duo looked back at all of us, pretty pleased with himself. (Oh God, I never meant this to turn into a yaoi fic! Oh well. At least I don't -think- it will be in explicit detail. ^^)
"Oh," Wu Fei muttered. "A Horny Yuy." [1]
I laughed, then continued eating some of the soup Wu Fei had made for me for breakfast. [2] "It's a wonder how they could do that in the morning," I said.
Trowa and Wu Fei looked at me like I wasn't supposed to say that. "How...how do you know about that...?" Trowa stammered.
I blushed. "Well, I -do- get out of the estate once in a while."
Wu Fei laughed. "I guess we all have our secrets." Then his nose started bleeding.
I looked at Trowa. He was gazing off into the distance. I wonder what he was thinking. In the background, pleasurable moaning noises could be heard from one of the tents. I just hope it wasn't mine. Urp...
*****
Hours later, Heero and Duo emerged from Heero and Trowa's tent, very wet. I just hope that Trowa's book hadn't got wet or damaged. As soon as they got out of the tent, Trowa got back in it. I think he was searching for his book, or maybe something more important.
I walked to the tent and lifted the flap. In the background, I could hear Heero yelling something about "no phone lines in the forest" and "Where the hell is my satellite connection unit?!" I peered into the tent.
"Trowa? What are you looking for?"
Trowa turned suddenly. Like he hadn't even heard me come in. "Oh, Quatre. It's you."
"Um, yeah. It's me." I looked confused. "What are you looking for?"
Silence. "My book."
"That's what I thought. What does the book look like?"
"Didn't you see it when you came to tell me we had to go look for Duo?"
"Yeah, but I forget."
He sighed. "It's big, thick, and has a red leather cover. Will you help me?"
"Sure!" I got into the tent and started looking through stuff. I pulled some tank tops (guess who's) off the top of a pile, and found the book we were looking for. I looked at the title. "Midnight Nocturne?" I said aloud, and not meaning to.
Trowa grabbed the book from my hands. "Uh...you mustn't read this book, Quatre. I don't think you would understand the story very much."
"Oh." I looked down. "Trowa, I--"
He placed his hand over my mouth. "No, Quatre. You don't have to say anything."
I put my two hands around the one he placed on my mouth and took it off. My eyes teared up. "Trowa..."
"Huh?"
I looked up, on the verge of crying. "Trowa...I'm so glad to be back with you!" I hugged him, without realizing what I was doing. And he was -very- cold for someone who wore a turtleneck shirt all year.
"I'm glad you're back too." He stroked my hair as I cried into his shirt. Then I backed up.
"Gomen nasai, Trowa. You have a big wet spot on your shirt now..."
He laughed. "It's ok. I don't mind too much. If it were someone other than you, I would mind, though."
I sniffled. "Thank you, Trowa."
*****
That night, I couldn't get to sleep. Just the previous night, I had had no problems falling asleep. Possibly an after-effect of the poison. But tonight...
I climbed out of my tent, remembering what happened last time I got up in the middle of the night. I looked around before proceeding anywhere.
When I finally got done surveying for trespassers, enemies, possible threats, etc., I proceeded to Heero and Trowa's tent. I opened the flap a little just to peek at Trowa. But the only person I saw in there was Heero, and he was sleeping with a loaded gun. Better not wake him up to see where Trowa went, I thought.
I wandered out into the clearing in the middle of our tents. The moon was nearly half gone tonight. I hadn't payed any attention, but I had been gone fore a while. As I looked at the moon, it reminded me of the shape of Trowa's mask.
A hand touched my shoulder, and I turned my head. Trowa stood behind me. "The moon is pretty tonight, ne?"
"Hai," I responded, looking back at it. "I was gone for awhile, wasn't I?"
"For almost a week, yes."
"It didn't seem like it." I shivered. Why was Trowa's hand so cold?
Silence. "Quatre, can I show you something?"
"Um, sure..." I said back, not really knowing what to expect.
"Good. Follow me." He turned and started walking to the woods. I followed.
We went a little way into the woods, then went off the path. I started to get worried when nothing looked familiar. "Um...Trowa...?"
"It's ok, Quatre. We'll be there soon."
He kept walking, so I kept following in fear of being lost or left behind. Soon, we entered a small clearing with a small pond in it. "Sit here," he ordered, pointing to the place next to the pond. I sat where he told me to sit, and he sat across from me.
"What's this all about?" I asked.
He was silent for a moment. "Quatre...do you love me?"
I blushed. REALLY hard. I looked like a giant clothed cherry. "Um...I...well...yeah...I guess I do..."
He smiled. "That's what I thought." He put his hand under my chin and lifted my head. "Quatre...you and I are...well, different."
"Yeah," I said, having recovered from the blush but nearly ready to do it again. "Everyone is different from other people."
"No," he said. "I mean -different-." He put emphasis on the "different" this time. "Quatre...I'm a vampire."
"What?" God, I must have looked like a tourist gawking at the Tokyo Tower.
"A vampire," he said again.
"Ah, so that would explain the Midnight Nocturne, and why you're always up at night. And the reason why you're so pale and thin and...-cold-."
"Yeah." He looked at the ground like he was ashamed of it. "Um, Quatre?"
"Hai?"
"I brought you here to ask you a question."
"And what is the question?"
"Well...how would you like to be with me forever?"
Forever. That word hit me like a paper fan. "Forever?"
"Yes, forever. I can make you like me, and we can live together for the rest of eternity."
Be with Trowa forever? Sure! "Alright. I'll do it."
"Ok. I thought you'd never say." He took me into a hug. While he hugged me, he nibbled on my ear. (Oh God! This is getting out of hand here! )
Then, he moved down to my neck and I felt sharpness on my neck. As he drank from me, he instructed me to drink from a small cut he had made on his hand. I did as he said, and in no time he had changed me. After he changed me over, he did something to me that I thought I'd never do to someone of the same gender. We had sex. Right there in the woods. I'd hate to say it, but I pretty much liked it.
Back at the camp, a sleeping Wu Fei got a nosebleed.
