Reflections' Blurb
"Reflections" was a side fic written to let you know what happened in Quatre and Trowa's lives before Deathwish. It told you why Quatre is so depressed and how the hell Trowa and Zechs got together!
Here, for those of you who wished not to hear the gruesome (and citrus-y ^_~) details, are two blurbs on what happened:
Quatre's Story:
After his disownment, Quatre lost all sense of self-worth. Alone and saddened,
he went looking for a job, but with no experience and in such a distressed and
miserable state, the search came up with no results. Walking home from one of
these trips, Quatre met up with an old business partner, Raymond Sterling.
After a talk in which he guesses Quatre's predicament, Raymond (or Ray) offers Quatre
a deal, Quatre gives him his body in exchange for money (i.e. prostitution).
Quatre immediately refused, but in an effort to leave Ray's company sooner, he
did except a business card. Weeks later, completely broke and with a bleak out
look, Quatre finally took Ray's proposal. In the months after, Quatre would
near starve himself, making the money he made from his visits to Ray last as
long as possible, all the while hating himself more and more and loosing what
fragile love he still had for his life.
On a brighter note (or Trowa's story):
Like the mask he wore as a clown, Trowa wore the clothes of his 'normal' self,
while secretly removing said metaphorical mask from time to time and indulging
in his secret life. Namely, clubbing. Finding refuge in the night life, Trowa
-donning an attire made completely of black (which included his make-up)- would
sneak out of the house he shared with his 'friends' and visit various clubs and
bars, all in the pursuit of music and alcohol, the former being vital. Music
was something Trowa had always loved, and he saw dancing as a way to express
it, and to let go of his worries and doubts and just live. It was on one of
these nights that Trowa meet with Zechs Marquize, though he hadn't recognized
him at first. Trowa had caught the other man's eye on the dance floor and met
him at the bar to ask Trowa to dance. Trowa agreed (although by that time he
had recognized Zechs) and followed him to the mass of moving bodies.
Eventually, Zechs remembered who Trowa was and clearly points out that he
doesn't care. As the song continued, the space between the two dancing men
became smaller and smaller until it was nonexistent. Which eventually led to a
::cough:: over-night ^_~ and in the words of Trowa Barton, said with Zechs'
dark smirk on his lips: "It all went downhill from there."
And there ^_^ you're all caught up!
