Before I begin this chapter, I'd like to dedicate this fic to my fish, Fin Fishie Custom. He had three tails and was really cute. But today, just a few minutes ago, he died. He was injured and unfortunatly we found out too late. So, please everyone pray to Undine to guide his journey into heaven safely. :starts to cry, seriously: I'm gonna miss him…good bye Fin Fishie…may you rest in peace.

Warnings: language, yaoi, maybe lemon, depends on how I feel.

Archive: what ever.

By the time Quatre and Trowa were free of any remnants of their baking, the cookies were done. "Mm, they smell so yummy." Quatre said as Trowa pulled the baking tray out of the oven. [Author Intrusion: I'm sorry, I cannot write. I'm just too sad. I'll write more later.]

Trowa set the cookies down on a cooling tray and pushed Quatre's greedy hands away. "Unless you want to burn your tongue, you're going to have to wait." He said. Quatre flopped onto the couch disappointed. He flicked the t.v. on to the news. "We told you earlier about the alleged beating of millionaire satellite engineer Niice Winner. We have more on this story. Police now have a suspect in custody. The police chief had this to say, 'We believe that this woman was a former maid in the Winner Mansion. Sources say she was fired and swore revenge.' More when we return." Trowa couldn't help but feel quilty. He was the one who beat Niice but he damn well deserved it.

Besides, Quatre needed him more than anyone else. "Can we have them yet?" Quatre begged. Trowa smiled and nodded. Like a little child on Christmas, [or Hannuka or Kwanzaa] Quatre ran into the kitchen, grabbed the tray and brought it back to the living room. He grabbed a still-warm peanut butter cookie and bit into it. "Mmm…." He moaned, finishing the rest of the cookies. Trowa smiled and right there and then made a promise to himself. He would never be caught, he would never be the suspect, he would stay by Quatre's side forever.

"Trowa…what do you usually do on rainy days?" Quatre asked. Trowa shrugged and thought. "Maybe see a movie, catch up on homework…look for you." He said with a devlilish grin. Quatre smiled, jumped off the couch and ran into Trowa's bedroom. Trowa followed quickly behind and flopped onto the bed, tickling the young Arabian until tears rolled from his eyes. "O-O-Okay! I give up!" Quatre screamed, falling backwards off the bed. Trowa smiled and pulled him from the floor. "You're ticklish too Trowa…I know you have one spot that'll make you crazy and I'm gonna find where it is!" Quatre stated, going after Trowa.

Duo and Wufei rode back to Wufei's house. "I'm sorry Fei. We'll find something else to do." Duo said sadly. "Why don't we get breakfast?" Wufei suggested, hearing his grumbling stomach. Duo grinned and nodded. They found a small diner and ordered the breakfast special. "So tell me all about yourself Wufei." Duo said, resting his chin in his hands. Wufei blushed slightly. "All right. You haven't met my parents but they're straight from China, and very traditional. I guess you can say I am too but not as much as they are. Every night Chen..he told me once that it is informal to call him 'father', he trains me in everything he knows."

"I get hurt a lot but that's because I am still too weak. My mother, Lan-Hui is very strict when it comes to school work. She's the one who makes sure my homework and studying is always done before dinner. She doesn't mind how Chen is always in the dojo either meditating or training but she doesn't want me to turn into him when I grow old." Duo's violet eyes sparkled and he barely noticed that their food had arrived. "Chen trains me because he says it is a skill that I will one day need. Plus, it is for Meiran." Duo's eyebrows nitted together as Wufei paused to eat some of his food. "You never did tell me about her Fei—but you don't have to." Duo said, beginning to eat as well.

Wufei shook his head and sighed. "Meiran was my sister…twin sister. She was Chen's prized pupil, he always took her to competitions and stuff, but he doesn't really believe in competing in self defense. It is like saying 'I'll get my ass beat slower than you!' but Mei-Mei wanted to do it so Chen obliged. And-And…she went to a competition one day…and never came back." Duo's face softened and he reached out to take Wufei's small hand in his own. "I'm so sorry Wufei. You must miss her very much." He said quietly.

"I'm not sure if mom ever forgave Chen for 'killing' her only daughter but they seem to get along in front of me." Wufei said. Duo gulped down some orange juice and sighed. "Well Fei…I'm sure he didn't mean to do anything wrong. But don't let me try to convince you he did..or didn't. Hell, I don't know! Can we go home now?" he said desperatly. Wufei smiled and glanced down at his plate which was still full of food. "Oh..go ahead. Sorry." Duo said with a sheepish smile.

Quatre lay in Trowa's arms, exausted from their love making. "I told you you had a ticklish spot." He whispered against Trowa's chest. It felt unique as Trowa spoke. "Yes you did angel. Who knew it'd be there." He said. Quatre giggled and closed his eyes. "I never did thank you Trowa…you saved my life you know." He said quietly. Trowa wrinklied his brow. "I just helped you stand up for yourself Q. You saved yourself in reality by running away." He said, gently stroking his lovers hair.

"If you never had helped me nothing would have been achieved. Like the last time I tried to run away, I was punished. It would be the same thing this time if you hadn't helped me." Quatre said, tightening his grip around Trowa's waist. "So, it's like with the cookies. If I hadn't helped you, you wouldn't have any cookies." Trowa said slowly. Quatre nodded and kissed Trowa on the cheek quickly before hopping out of bed. "Where are you going?" Trowa asked as Quatre pulled on a pair of grey sweatpants. [1]

Quatre grinned and said, "I'm gonna get some cookies!" Trowa shook his head and crawled out of bed. He managed to find his boxers strewn over a lamp. He pulled them on and proceded to follow Quatre. "Even though your father isn't around it still doesn't mean you can over dose on sweets and candy." He said, leaning against the wall. Quatre hesitated for a moment, then replaced a few cookies. "You have to set me straight Trowa. Be my authority." He said, plopping next to Trowa on the couch.

Much like a cat, Quatre curled up next to Trowa and quietly ate his precious cookies. "Tro-Tro?" Quatre whispered cutely [2]. "Yes angel?" Trowa replied, turning his gaze from the window to Quatre's aquamarine eyes. "Um….does Cathy know..erm..about us?" Trowa laughed and nuzzled his head in Quatre's golden hair. "Yes she does and don't worry. She's okay with it—as long as we're quiet." He whispered into his lovers ear. Eventually they turned the news on. [3] Of course, the story about Niice Winner was the only thing everyone was talking about.

"I have a question for you angel. Did you ever try to fight back?" Trowa asked suddenly. Quatre shook his head and buried his face into Trowa's lap. "I couldn't—I didn't think I could stand up to him. I mean he is a lot bigger than I am." He replied. Trowa nodded and sighed. "I know this will take a while to get used to Quatre but please don't be afraid of me. Or Cathy." He said gently. "I'm not afraid." Quatre said defensivly. Trowa smiled and looked his lover in the eyes. "I can tell by your actions that you are. But angel, I promise I will take care of you, no matter what. Okay?" Quatre nodded and kissed Trowa deeply.

Wufei had finshed his meal and he and Duo had driven home in the pouring rain. "Here, give me your clothes. I'll put them in the dryer." Wufei said, extending his arm. Duo blushed slightly but once he was stripped of the wet clothes, he had felt better. Wufei tossed him a towel, for he was only in his silky black boxers. "Hey Fei, what's that say up there?" Duo asked, pointing to something written in black paint on the white wall. "It's a poem by Tao Te Ching. :ahem: 'Those who know do not talk, those who talk do not know. Keep your mouth closed. Guard your senses. Temper your sharpness. Simplify your problems. Mask your brightness. Be at one with the dust of the Earth. This is primal union. He who has achieved this state is unconcerned with friends and enemies, with good and harm, with honor and disgrace. This, therefore is the highest state of man.'"

Duo knitted his eyebrows together. "And why is that written on your wall?" he questioned. Wufei shook his head and smiled slightly. "Chen wanted me to read that poem every day and to obey it. He said it is important." He replied, sitting on the floor next to his bed. Duo stood staring at the wall for a second before joined Wufei on the floor. "So, he thinks tht if you simlify your problems and all that that you'll be in the 'highest state of man'?" he asked. Wufei nodded.

"I don't know—you can't get much better than you are right now." Duo remarked, gazing into Wufei's obsidian eyes. Wufei blushed slightly and said, "Don't flatter me Duo, I am not perfect." Duo's hand rose up and cupped the side of Wufei's face. "Yes you are." He whispered, before pressing his li[s against Wufe's, kissing passionatly. A small moan escaped Wufei's lips as Duo's hands reached under his shirt and began stroking his back. He put his mouth next to Wufei's earlobe and lapped at it, nipping gently. Wufei pulled Duo's body closer to his own and succumed to his raging hormones.

Duo gasped as Wufei pulled his own shirt off and resumed kissing. They managed to stand up and get onto the bed. Duo smiled longingly at Wufei before moving his hands down to the top of his pants. "Say the words and I'll stop." He said. A nod from Wufei was all he needed to pull his pants off gently. Duo pulled Wufei's body tighly against his own and moaned in delight as their members pushed against each other. Waves of pleasure crashed upon them both. "Mm…oh gods Duo…take me!" Wufei pleaded, pulling away from the crushing kiss they had shared. Duo grinned and said, "You sure baby?" Wufei nodded and shivered as Duo removed both of their boxers'.

Wufei rolled onto his back and Duo gently slid inside. "Shh…don't scream baby—it's okay." Duo soothed, wrapping his arms around Wufei's upped body. Slowly, they began to rock back and forth, moving faster and faster with each thrust. "Oh Gods….oh Gods…" Wufei moaned and he finally screamed out his lovers name when he finally reached the peak of his pleasure.
