Trowa watched over Quatre . Quatre had told him what happened almost all in one breath. The man must have had violent tendencies with Duo and if that was the case why would Heero and Duo leave Quatre there alone knowing this. It just didn't make sense.
Trowa knew he would have to take on Quatre's job and take care of him for a change. Quatre had never thought he was strong in the past but Trowa thought that he was the strongest person he knew. He was quite giving people who didn't know Quatre assumed that since he was rich that he was a snob or a rich brat. They would be hard towards Quatre not even giving him a chance. Quatre never complained though even if it did hurt.
He's always so caring why would anyone want to hurt him is beyond me. Trowa thought to himself.
As Trowa sat in a chair next to the bed he felt closed in suddenly. The feelings he felt so long ago hate disgust not wanting to be touched the fear and the nightmares. He never wanted Quatre to ever feel those things he never wanted his light to go out and hopefully it won't.
Trowa felt so helpless just sitting there he wished he knew what he could do to help Quatre. He desperately wanted to tell him how much he loved him and always lost his nerve. Now that this has happened was he too late would Quatre even accept his love?
Moments later Trowa heard a car driving up so he went to investigate only stopping to retrieve his gun from his room. If it was this Roy guy coming back he was a dead man. Trowa approached the living room as the door opened it was Heero and Duo. Trowa looked at them and punched Heero in the face. Duo was about to check on Heero when Trowa pulled out his gun and aimed it right at Duo causing him not to move.
Heero stood up a little confused he could see the anger coming from Trowa. Trowa was furious at them but Heero had no idea why. Duo yelled, "What the hell is your problem Barton?"
"How dare you show you're face around here after what you did." Trowa yelled back.
Trowa cocked the trigger and was so mad no one knew what he would do. That's when he heard a soft voice behind him.
"Trowa?" Quatre stood in the hallway behind him leaning against it to hold himself up. Heero and Duo noticed all the bruises and cuts as Trowa went over to him and picked him up. As he carried him Quatre asked sleepily. "Is everything all right? I thought I heard yelling."
Trowa tucked him in his bed and stroked his hair. "Sshh everything's fine. Go back to sleep." Quatre smiles at him and went back to sleep in no time. Trowa was much calmer now and took a deep breath and headed back to Heero and Duo.
He was still mad at them and completely blamed them for this situation. He calmly explained to them what happened and in no uncertain terms told them they were at fault. "I hope you're happy . He lost his innocence because of you." He stated.
"Duo snapped, "Now wait just a dammed minute how is this our fault?"
"don't pretend Duo. You two kept pulling him in the middle of your problems. Making him feel so sad that his friend's who seemed completely in love but who were acting like children. All you too did was bicker and use him as a go between. The only reason you went out with Roy was to irk Heero Duo just admit it."
"I didn't know he would hurt Quatre. He's hit me but I always hit back. He wasn't supposed to be there." Duo said in a soft voice.
"Well that just makes it all right now doesn't it. He raped and beat him not to mention cut him among other things but he wasn't suppose to be there. Did you even warn him? Or tell him this guy was violent?"
Duo sat down with tears pouring down his face. Heero pulled him into his arms and held him lovingly. Then he kissed him gently. "It will be all right love." Duo nodded and held him back.
"You have no right Barton. Duo would never have left him there had he known. He loves him we both do. If you really want to point fingers why not point them at yourself. You moved in the area recently and yet you haven't even bothered to see him. He was sad at the fact that you had no time for him. He called you and you were always to busy for him. He even had a surprise party planned for you but you never showed. You're a hypocrite blaming us for a mistake at least we're around."
Trowa felt lost was all that true. He didn't mean to hurt Quatre he just was afraid if he saw him his heart would ache. While they argued Duo slipped into Quatre's room and sat next to his friend. Quatre woke and saw Duo smiling at him.
No words were spoken Quatre pulled Duo into a hug and they laid down and held each other. "I'm sorry Q. I. I didn't know he'd do that. I would have stayed."
"I know. I know. You have nothing to apologize for you did nothing wrong. (wincing)" they both cried and fell asleep holding each other.
