My prince of rose- 2                           by Suzuki

   I don't own Gundam Wing but I love them all!!! This is part two and please enjoy!!!

Part two: The Winner's College!

   Winners' family, you could count them as the richest in the world. You could see their investments everywhere, even the desert; their root could find their footprint. Winners is an ancient family, father to son and til now to Quatre.

   Because Quatre is the only heir and he is too important to lose, Master Winner had built a fence to protect him. He built 'The Winner's College' !

   Quatre grew up in this castle and he knew that he had born with this cage, he understood and accepted who he was. Quatre had never asked for anything, even people thought he already had everything.

   But they would never understand what Quatre really wanted…

  It had been the most wonderful morning in the world when Trowa opened his eyes and saw an angel slept on the opposite bed. He was so beautiful and pure, not liked that artificial beauty, Quatre was a nature and could always shocked you with just a smile.

  Trowa would love to spend a whole morning just to watch Quatre sleep, this was the first time Trowa fall in someone that deep and would never got tired.

   The morning sunshine shone through the curtain's gap then landed on Quatre's face, Quatre moaned and his eyes flapped open. Those watery eyes were like Summer Ocean reflecting sunlight.

  Quatre hadn't totally waked up, he was happy to see someone, his roommate there. So he smiled, an innocent but seductive smile. Quatre never knew how his angelic face turns on a man and how a man so wants to pounce him.

   Trowa was a man, a young and youthful man; he felt his nose was going to bleed. Trowa didn't know Quatre would smile at him like that, liked a couple woke up in the morning after a hot night. Trowa rushed to the bathroom and clamed down, Quatre was still half sleeping.

  That was a wonderful and embarrassing morning.

  When Quatre had totally woke up and Trowa had finally controlled his bleeding, they got change and gone down to the dinning room for breakfast. Trowa was new and Quatre was the first time to live in the normal hostel, they couldn't manage the way to the dinning room. Fortunately, they met Duo on the way.

  " I will wake you guys to school but we have to wait Herro." Duo talked with a mouthful of egg.

  " Is he back? I thought he wouldn't be back until tomorrow." Quatre sipped his tea.

  " Well, he said he has got a early ticket. He suddenly popped out and nearly scared my pant off, he arrived at midnight."

  " You must be so happy he is back, Duo." Quatre sounded like mean to another thing and satisfied with Duo's blushing.

  " I don't know what were you talking about! O.K, let finish this and go to school!" Duo dogged his face to the dish even he had eaten all the food.

   Quatre smiled warmly to his best friend and turned to Trowa, " Herro is our friend, I will introduce to you later."

  Trowa nodded.

  They finished breakfast and went back to their room, when Trowa opened the door he was surprised by two maids.

  " Master Quatre, good morning." They bowed as they saw Quatre.

  " Nancy, Ann! Why you are in here?" Quatre didn't expect they would be here but when he saw beds had been made, he knew why they were here.

  " Was that Iria told you to come?" Iria was Quatre's youngest sister, they were very close.

  " Master Iria told us to take care of Master Quatre and Master Iria was worry about you doesn't feel comfortable." Nancy said.

  " I feel alright and I can take care of myself, I am not a child."

   " For Ann, Master Quatre stills a child."

   " Ann!" Quatre shouted.

   Ann was an old maid and she was the one who raised Quatre, they were like mother and son since Quatre's mother die when she had gave birth to Quatre.

   " Ann is worrying, she always thinking: Does Master Quatre warm enough? Does he eat well? Ann couldn't sleep well because she doesn't know how is Master Quatre getting."

   " Ann…I am sorry about worrying you but please let me try, I need to depend on myself. Please have faith in me."

   Ann looked in Quatre's eyes and smiled with pride, " that's my Master Quatre. I will translate to Master Iria."

   She touched Quatre's face likes a mother would do then faced Trowa, " Mr. Barton, please look after Master Quatre for us and wish you have a good day."

   " Thanks and I will." Ann reminded Trowa Catherine, the same kindness and warm.

   Ann and Nancy bowed deeply then gone.

  " Sorry, Trowa. I didn't know Ann will be here…I…" he must thinks I am a spoiled rich kid, what should I do?

  " I could see she loves you so much."

  That was beyond Quatre's expectation, he replied after a while.

  " Ann was like my friend and my mother, she taught me a lot and I love her as my mother."

  " She is like my sister." Trowa saw the blonde showed lots of interest in his expect.

  " You have s sister? What does she look like? Does she look like you?"

  " Not I don't want to tell you but ain't we going to meet Duo at the front gate?" Trowa said as he glanced at the clock.

   " Oh, no! We are gonna be late!"

  They packed up their school bag and hurried down to the front gate, Herro and Duo were already there.

  " Late! You have to buy me a lunch as we said!" Duo's finger was wiggling in the air.

  " Cut it off, Duo. You were just arrived and we don't have to paid for the school lunch." Herro said in a motionless tone.

  " Herro~~~ you just can't have a sense of humour."

  " Happy to see you back, Herro. May I introduce to you, this is Trowa Barton," Quatre then turned. " This is Herro Yui."

  Trowa looked at the boy, he had dark hair and cool sharp eyes.

  Herro eyed on Trowa, too.

 The two cool boys didn't say anything but just nodded; Quatre and Duo found that they were quite the same, motionless and silence.

  "Uh, I think we have to go now or we will miss the class."

  Duo walked in the front with Herro, Quatre and Trowa behind them.

  " So, why were you late?" Duo asked.

  Quatre told him the whole thing, Duo didn't really surprised because he knew Quatre's sisters wouldn't let Quatre run away that easy.

  " I can tell you this is not the end, Iria is not the only one and heaps of this thing are coming!" Duo placed a hand on Quatre's shoulder and sighted.

  When they came to the corner, Duo suddenly clashed on a human mount.

  " Ouch! Who's that?" Duo nursed his nearly squashed nose.

  " Rashid!" Quatre run to the big man and hugged on his waist.

  " Master Quatre, long times no see." Rashid held Quatre up and swung him around.

  " Put me down, Rashid!" Quatre laughed.

  " You have grown up a lot, Master Quatre. Last time I saw you were just that little." Rashid put a hand below his waist height.

  " Hello, Rashid!" Duo greeted with the man.

  " Hello, Mr. Maxwell, how is Father Maxwell?"

  " He is good, thanks. And please don't call me 'Mr'I feel old when you call me that." Duo said with a wink.

  " Ain't you supposed to be with father? Why you are here?" Quatre asked.

  " Master sent me to be your bodyguard."

  " Why everyone treat me like a child? I am 16 now."

  " Master doesn't want anything goes wrong. Please understand, Master Quatre."

  I understood, too much! But how could Quatre reject Rashid? He loved to see Rashid again and he really hoped it wouldn't be in this situation.

  " Don't worry, I won't show up if you don't want to see me but just want to tell you I will be around when you need help." Rashid seemed to see through Quatre's mind.

  " I didn't mean that, Rashid!"

  " We will talk later, now please let me walk you to school."

  The school was about 15 minutes away from the Hostel; they arrived after Quatre finished the introduced.

  " I will come pick you up after school." Said Rashid.

  " I have a lot to talk to you, too."

  Quatre looked back as they went inside, Rashid was still there watching him.

 

  Trowa and Quatre were in the same class and Herro, Duo were in another class together.

  Most of the students were from the Winner's junior high school and already knew each other, they were quite curious about the new student. You didn't have to be rich but you must be smart or good at something special in 'The Winner's College', it was hard to get in this school especially at high school level. So whenever there's a new student, what they said and what they done at school would be others daily new for at least one month.

  This time those students had found a new target—Trowa.

  For Trowa was such a handsome guy, the girls seemed to be more interest on him. They surrounded Trowa when the bell gone and asked lots of questions.

  " You said you live in Hostel, so who is your roommate?" One girl asked.

  " Quatre Raberba Winner."

  Those girls gasped as they heard the name, they looked around to see if Quatre was there or not. In fact, the teacher had asked him out.

  " Did you say Quatre? Quatre Raberba Winner?" Another girl said.

  Trowa nodded.

  Then the girls started whispering that Trowa couldn't hear. Finally a girl got out of the whisper, " does he stay in Hostel?"

  " Does he stay in the student's one?"

  " Does he really your roommate?"

  Trowa was wondering why these potato were so surprise Quatre was his roommate, they sounded like he was lying.

  " I couldn't believe they will let him do that!"

  " It is too dangerous to put him with those boys."

  " Why?" Trowa asked.

  Those girls looked at each other and wanted Trowa promised he wouldn't tell any other.

  " That was last year, Quatre had been attacked by a man."

  " He was a gay and had been followed Quatre for a long time, fortunately someone saw him carrying Quatre and called the police. They caught him on the way. Quatre wasn't hurt but didn't come to school for a few days, poor thing, he must been scared." The girl sighed.

   " I thought they wouldn't let him go out by himself anymore but they agree his staying in Hostel." Their eyes aimed on Trowa.

  " You think I will do something on Quatre?" Trowa said.

  " We didn't say you would do anything but please watch him for us, Quatre is a gentleman and we like him so much."

  Before Trowa could say any word, Quatre was back.

  " Sorry, I am late, are you ready?"

  Trowa walked to Quatre and told the girls, " I won't let him get hurt."

  Then gone with Quatre, left the classroom with the girls screaming.

 

  "This is the AV room and computer room is on the right hand side…"

   Trowa looked at Quatre's back and couldn't help thinking of what those girls said. Would he make Quatre feel uncomfortable? Did he get hurt at that time? Trowa didn't take any of Quatre's word in but just follow him around.

   "Trowa? Trowa?" Quatre waved a hand in front of Trowa's face to check was Trowa alright or not.

   " Sorry, I was…"

  How could you do that!!! Quatre is so kind and take you walk around the school but you were daydreaming!

   " Do you feel fine? Are you tired?" Quatre was worried.

   " I am fine, just I heard something from the girls…"

   Then Quatre understood what happened, he gave a tiny smile and asked Trowa to sit on the bench under a tree.

   " They must say I had been kidnapped and the guy was bad and crazy, did they?"

   Trowa nodded.

   " That's not all the true, it's only part of the fact. He did follow me for a while but he didn't mean to hurt me, all he wanted was being my friend. Finally, he had courage to ask me go to café and he was holding my hand. I don't know why people thought he was going to take me away and called the police. They caught him when we walked to the café not even let us explain. I don't even know his name and I haven't see him anymore." Quatre stopped with a sad sign.

   " Do I really look that weak? I know they love me and I understand what they did they are good for me. However I can't always stay at the back, I need to stand up and lean handle things by myself. I am not only Quatre Raberba Winner but also a normal boy; they can't keep things away from me if they think it is bad or what. So that's why I want to live in Hostel, I want to stay with other."

   A light blush was on Quatre's face and he turned to Trowa, " I know I am childish but I really happy to have you to be my roommate, can you help me?"

   Trowa was quite shock of what Quatre said because he would never think he had a lion heart, he was not a flower in the greenhouse; he wasn't only what he looked. Quatre was as strong as other or even more!

   " You are so strong, Quatre. If I were you, I may not do these. You can follow your motion if you feel right, it doesn't matter." Trowa gave him a little smile.

   Quatre's face suddenly glowed, as bright as the sun. It warmed Trowa's heart and melted the ice on his face.

   If people walked pass now, they would find they were looking and smiling at each other like idiot. They would never understand two lonely hearts were just met.
