Reclaiming his heart

Part 3

By Backlash

Quatre was riding in a cab he when it drove by a liquor store. An idea began to form and he had the cab drop him off there. I can play his game.He thought.

Trowa began frantically cleaning his apartment after getting that call from Heero.

Flashback

"What is it?" asked Trowa as he answered his phone.

"I just thought you'd like to know Quatre is on his way there."

"What!?"

"He heard about your situation. Contrary to your opinion of yourself he still loves and worries about you. If you care at all clean yourself up."

End Flashback

Trowa finished cleaning then took a shower and put on some clean clothes. He then dumped out all his liquor bottles. Trowa wasn't addicted to alchohol he just drank when he was depressed. He waited patiently for Quatre to arrive. Knowing Quatre cared made him feel something he hadn't felt in a long time.

Quatre finally was outside when Trowa opened the door to let him in. He was holding an almost empty bottle of scotch and was walking funny. It was apparent to Trowa that Quatre was drunk. Quatre kept giggling. "Hey Trowa." He said as they both went inside Trowa looking at him with disbelief.

Quatre was staring at Trowa with a predatory smile. Quatre pushed Trowa against the wall and began to kiss Trowa's neck. "Quatre don't. mmmmm." Trowa was silence by Quatre's mouth. Quatre began ripping Trowa's shirt off. Trowa was resisting and Quatre asked in a very alluring voice. "Don't you want me?"

Trowa kissed back but knew it wasn't right and pulled away. Quatre became very angry. "What's the matter I give and give and still it's not enough for you!"

"Quatre you're drunk. This isn't you." Trowa insisted.

"Is that so. Well than who am I. The person who loved you more than anything? The person who you lied to? The person you claimed to love. The person who's best friend you fucked. Or maybe the person who gave up his father's buissness so he could be with you only to come home and have his world shattered. Maybe you didn't love me at all maybe it was revenge for what I did to you when I was in the wing zero." Quatre picked up a plant and threw it against the wall. When it shattered he fell to the ground and began to cry.

Trowa went to him and held him as he cried. "What have I done?" Quatre soon fell asleep in his arms. Trowa carried him to his bed and covered him up. Before leaving the room he kissed Quatre on the forehead.

Quatre woke up with a killer headache the next morning. "Oh man what hit me?"

"Nothing hit you except your hangover." Trowa was slightly amused with the situation. He smiled. Quatre put the pillow over his face trying to shield his eyes from the light. "Why in the heck would you put yourself through this torment repeatedly is beyond me."

"Why would you drink for Quatre? It's not like you."

"You seem to love it. I wanted to see what the big deal is."

"Well you are certaintly an emotional drunk. I think liquor for you is like a truth serom.."

"Did I do something embarrassing?" asked Quatre.

"No not at all." Trowa smiled.

"For some reason I don't believe you." Quatre said in a playful tone.

"Would I lie?"

"I was sorry to hear about Catherine. I know you loved her."

"Thank you. Is that why you came?" asked Trowa.

"Partly."

"Partly?"

"I missed you. I still love you. In case that was ever in question."

"Are you coming back to me Quatre?" Trowa asked hopefully.

"I want to Trowa but. It's not that easy I've been thinking about this. I can't trust you not now anyway. I just don't know anything anymore. The only thing I know for sure is I love you."

"I understand. I love you too." He said sadly.

"I'm not ready to give you up though. I can't watch you drink your life away either. I just don't know what to do with you. You make me nuts."

"Trowa smiled and took Quatre in his arms. "I never will let you go again. I will find a way to prove to you that you can trust me. Will you stay and give me a chance to?"

Quatre kissed him on the cheek and hugged him back.. Then he clutched his head. "Man how long will this stupid hangover last?"
