Quatre's aquamarine eyes opened slowly. He was in bed, Trowa's bed. He sat up grogilly and looked around. "Trowa…?" he called. A second later, the door opened and Trowa walked in the room. "Hey…what's the matter?" he asked, sitting beside Quatre, who in turn smiled. "Nothing…I was just wondering where you went." He whispered. Trowa carressed Quatre's face gently and kissed his forehead. "Get some more sleep. I'll wake you for dinner." He said, leaving the room quietly.
Catherine eyed her brother as he entered the kitchen. "Trowa?" she asked. Trowa jumped slightly. "Oh, Cathy. You scared me. What's wrong?" he asked. Catherine glanced into his room. "Why is Quatre in your bed?" she hissed. /Oh great. She knows./ Trowa tried to escape past her but she blocked his way. "No..don't tell me you slept with him." Cathy moaned. Trowa nodded and crossed his arms. "So what if I did?" Catherine sighed and flopped into a chair. "Nothing…it doesn't matter. But I swear if you keep me up at night there's going to be hell to pay!" she warned.
Trowa smiled and kissed Cathy's head. "Okay, we won't. You're not cooking tonight?" he asked. Cathy shook her head and sighed. "I'm too tired and my head hurts. Go order Chinese or something." She said. Trowa shrugged, picked up a menu and went to ask Quatre what he wanted. "Hey angel. Wake up." He said, running his fingers across Quatre's bare chest. "Hm…Trowa? What's wrong?" Quatre asked, opening his eyes. Trowa held up the menu and smiled. "What do you want to eat?" he asked. "Uh…I know! I want some Trowa for dinner!" Quatre said, smiling like a little kid.

Wufei froze as Duo kissed him. /This can't be happening…Gods, Duo is kissing me! Kiss back you dope!/ Wufei pressed his lips against Duo's and felt Duo's hand rise to the back of his neck. As they pulled apart, Duo looked away quickly and muttered, "I'm sorry." Wufei wasn't sure what to say. "I-It's okay…I didn't mind." He said weakly with a smile. Duo rubbed his face and said, "So what now?" Wufei shrugged. "Hey, can I see your room?" Duo asked, hopping up from the couch. The Chinese boy nodded and Duo grabbed his bag and followed him inside.
"Wow…nice." Duo whistled, putting his bag in a corner. He moved over to Wufei's desk and picked up an ivory dragon statue. "Cool, where'd you get this?" Duo asked, grinning. Wufei walked over beside him and said, "I went to China last year and my parents bought it for me." Duo nodded and placed the dragon down gently. "Hey Fei..who's the girl in this picture?" he asked, pointing to a picture of Wufei, his parents and and another girl. "Oh…that's my sister Meiran. She died." Wufei said quickly. Duo's head shot up. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't know." He whispered.
"Yeah." Wufei muttered, staring at the carpet. "Ya wanna talk about it?" Duo asked. "Not really." Duo smiled softly and walked back to his bag. "I'm gonna change okay?" he said. Wufei nodded and expected Duo to find the bathroom. Instead he started pulling his clothes of. Wufei was mesmerzed by his muscled chest and arms. Duo pulled on an old black tee-shirt, then pulled his pants off revealing black boxers. "You like the color black…don't you?" Wufei asked, smacking himself in the head for staring.
Duo nodded and shoved his shirt into his bag. "Yep. It's a way of showing my feelings." He said, flopping onto Wufei's bed and putting his hands behind his head. Wufei lied down beside him and asked, "Why? Do you always feel sad?" Duo's eyes glistened for a minute. "Yeah…I'm lonely." He choked, a few tears rolling out of his violet eyes. "Why are you lonely?" Wufei asked concerned. Duo rolled over to face Wufei. "Cause my parents are always out on buisness and I'm always left alone. They're never home for birthdays or Christmas for that matter!" he said angrily.
"If you're ever lonely Duo…you can always come to see me." Wufei said quietly. Duo's face softened and he wiped a few more tears away. "Really? Thanks Fei." He whispered.

After dinner, Cathy went to take a shower and Trowa and Quatre were left alone. "So…what do you usually do on a Friday night?" Trowa asked, leaning back in a recliner. Quatre snorted and replied, "Study, wallow in self pity, consider suici—" Trowa's forest green eyes shot up ward. "What?" he asked. Quate cursed himself for the slip up. "Nothing..what do you do?" he said, desperatly trying to change the subject. Trowa stood up and kneeled in front of Quatre. "Don't lie to me…you said 'consider suicide' didn't you?" Quatre looked downward and nodded.
"I don't ever want you to think about that ever again, do you understand?!" Trowa said sternly, his eyes piercing into Quatre's. "Do you?" he asked again. Quatre nodded and wrapped his arms around him. "I won't have to…I have you now." He whispered. "I usually watch t.v. or something." Trowa said, kissing Quatre's cheek and returning to his recliner. Quatre nodded and they turned on a soap opera. "Not one of these…"Quatre moaned. Trowa smiled and said, "No, watch. It's funny. The story lines are so bizaare that you can't help but laugh."
So, they watched soaps. "But..Nita. I thought you loved me!" a man in a suit said. Another man named Oswego [1] was pointing a pistol at him and there was a woman in between. "I do…but I love your father, Oswego, too!" the woman said. The man stepped back as Oswego pulled back the hammer. "Father? You're my father?" the man asked. Then, a doctor came into the room holding a clip board. "Yes, Micael it's true. Oswego is your father, I conducted the test." He said seriously. The woman turned to Micael and said, "I'm sorry, but he's better than you in so many ways. And if I want you, I can have a son!" Everyone started laughing, except Micael and when Oswego was about to shoot, the t.v. station interrupted the show.
Trowa moaned and said, "That was the climax of the episode!" Quatre giggled. "We interupt 'I Love You, Your Father and Your Dog' for this special weather report. A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect for the entire east coast. Please stay away from windows and do not, I repeat, do not attempt to drive or walk outside. Winds will reach up to fifty miles per hour, causing trees, and garbage pails to be flung away. Stay tuned for another report. We now return to 'I Love You, Your Father and Your Dog', already in progress." Quatre eyed Trowa wearily. "Oh, a storm." He whispered.

Duo took a deep breath and said, "Wufei, can I ask you a peronal question?" Wufei thought for a second. /Maybe…should I? I can trust him, can't I?/ "Sure." He sqeaked. Duo looked at the ceiling and said, "Have you ever…wanted to be with a guy?" Wufei was taken back. He should answer truth fully. "…Yes." He whispered. Duo exhaled as if a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders. "And you didn't want anyone to know about it?" he continued. Wufei nodded. "Cause if anyone knew, they'd tell everyone else and they'd make fun of you for being…gay." Duo whispered weakly.
Wufei reached out and took Duo's hand. "I..I might as well tell you." Duo began shakily. "See, at my old school…I..came out and everyone flipped out. I couldn't walk a block down the street without being called a fag or fruity or something. So I transferred out and came here. In order to prevent anything like that from happening again, I started 'liking' girls. I slept with the popular ones so they could tell their friends and everyone would think I was straight. But…fuck. I can't deny it any more." Wufei's heart went out to Duo. It honestly did. "You don't have to be afraid Duo. I won't tell anyone if you don't want, but if you do I wil." Wufei said.
Duo sighed and turned to Wufei. "What I'm trying to say is…" he whispered, "I'm in love with you."
