My prince of rose- 3 by Suzuki
I don't own Gundam Wing but I love them all!!! This is part three and please enjoy!!!
Part 3: Knights in the fieldTrowa found that the students were getting exciting these days, he wondered why until Quatre asked him what kind of sport he was going to take part in.
" Sport Day?"
" Don't you know that? Everyone is talking about it, our school's Sport Day is very popular because press will come to report. We have new star every year!" Duo pushed in.
" I didn't know." Trowa answered honestly.
" Then why you come to this school?" Quatre asked.
" Because this school has scholarship, I had the top mark in my old school and took the scholarship to come here." Trowa didn't want to talk about his family's economy situation.
" Finally got someone has the same situation as me here!!! Good job, man!" Duo hit hard in Trowa's back. He was so happy that Trowa wasn't one of those rich arrogant and brainless people, he didn't like them as he stuffed a lot when he was a child. Quatre was an exception, he was the one who pulled him out of that small world and encouraged him to develop him talent. He was a turn friend you couldn't find with a lamp!
Trowa asked when would be the Sport Day and knew that it would be next Thursday and Friday. The other thing he knew from Duo was that every student had to at least take one sport, Trowa didn't know which one he wanted to take and asked Quatre (the main reason was hoped that he could be with Quatre).
" The first day is ball games, the second day is athletics, Hreeo and Duo and I will form a basketball team." Quatre said shyly.
" I have found Wu Fei, we still need one," suddenly Dou looked at Trowa's long leg and grin, " I think I just found the last one."
Trowa and Quatre didn't understand what's that meant but after seeing Duo's eye's sight, they both understood.
" You mean… Trowa?" Quatre asked.
" Bingo! Yes, Trowa is our team now!" Duo then turned to Trowa and put both hands on the taller boy's shoulder.
" Listen Trowa, you are born for basketball and our team is where you can start! Let us take over the world!"
" Duo, you should ask properly. Trowa do you play basketball?"
" In P.E lessons."
" Do you want to joy our team? We need one more person as a team, it will be fun." Quatre smiled softly.
In the same team=be with Quatre. Trowa didn't have to think twice and he nodded.
" Alright, I am going to tell Herro and we will have some practices later." Duo was gone the next moment.
" Duo always full of energy." Quatre said.
" For me he is more like a time bomb, never know when will it explode."
Quatre laughed and didn't know he was staring at Trowa, he couldn't tell but just feel so free around Trowa. He hoped Trowa would feel the same, he was quite afraid of annoyed Trowa because he knew Trowa wasn't really like talking and was quite withdraw.
Trowa was not the first friend Quatre ever had but he could tell Trowa was slightly different. He was like Duo who could understand him, like Herro who supported him silently, like Wu Fei who stood strongly for him. Trowa was more than these; he gave Quatre something new, something that deep inside Quatre's heart. It was love Quatre's heart said.
What were you thinking? Quatre shook his head denied. He knew love and he had, love from the family and love from friends, he lived with it and would love to share it. However, there was one, true love which could only give to one person.
Why I thought that would be Trowa? Quatre frowned. He didn't notice Trowa was watching him.
" Are you alright, Quatre?"
" Oh! I was just thinking something, it's not important. Let's go back." Quatre tried to pretend he was find.
Trowa felt that something was bothering Quatre, what could make his angel frowned so deep? He somehow wanted to make Quatre happy.
" Are you free this afternoon? I want to go to town, do you want to go with me?"
Quatre looked up with surprises, this was the first time Trowa asked him out. Trowa always wanted to be alone even in their room, he didn't talk much and he was liked air.
" Where are you going?" Quatre couldn't control his excitement and his voice was shaking unnoticeable.
" I want to buy a CD and then we can walk around."
" O.K." Quatre smiled shiny like the sun.
He was just asked the angel to go out and received the most pervious gift he never had, it was so easy to please his angel. The problem what ever it was that bothered Quatre seemed never happened.
Trowa watched his angel packed up the school bag and then they walked out of the classroom together.
After Trowa bought the CD he said as an excuse, they went to a teashop. Quatre loved tea, he had it five times a day and had a full cupboard of them. The shop they were in was new, Trowa heard the girls talked about it.
There were a lot of girls in the shop so they chose a corner site. When their order had come, Quatre stirred the hot tea and asked.
" How do you know this shop? Their tea is good, quite the same as my sister's."
" Do you like it?"
" Yes, I like it very much. Thank you Trowa."
" You are always welcome."
They smiled at each other for a while.
" You haven't told me how do you know about this shop."
" I heard the girls in school said there is a new teashop in town. I saw you drink tea everyday and I think you would like to come. Besides, I want to try, too. It will be quite embarrass if I come by myself." Trowa said.
" I don't know you like tea, maybe tomorrow we can have a cup of tea at morning tea time in the garden." Quatre was so happy that he could spend some more time with Trowa.
" I would love to," and I would be enjoying those time. Trowa thought.
They talked about tea and the basketball game, none of them knew the girls around were looking at them guessing their relationship.
" Look at them, they are so cute!" A girl exclaimed.
" One is cool and the other one is an angel, it is like a dream~~" B girl melted.
" Guess who is at the bottom!" C girl smiled slyly.
" Must be the blond one!"
" It is hard to say, maybe is the handsome one."
When the girls were arguing, a pair of eyes was watching Quatre and Trowa.
"…Date is X/X, first date in teashop, talking happily…eyes contact…"
" Why I have to spy on them here with you~~" a girl with dark hair sighted.
" Please~~ Hilde, it is my job~~ I don't want to come in this shop by myself, that will make attentions." Duo pulled down his cap and wrote what he saw down.
" Oh, come on~~ if you are as handsome as Trowa or cute like Quatre then it will be a problem." Hilde laughed
" Would you please shut your mouth up? They will hear us!"
Hilde stuck out her tough and turned back to their target.
" They are so cute, how can two guys make such beautiful picture."
" Find yourself a man!" Duo kept busy working on his report.
Hilde looked at Duo sighted again, " I did but he said he is gay."
Duo chocked. " I thought we agreed not to talk about this."
" You picked it up first." Hilde showed a winning smile.
There was no way to find a good girl like Hilde but they could only be friend. Hilde liked Duo very much and told him her feeling. Although Duo liked Hilde so much, his heart had already gave to someone, someone didn't know and untouchable. Hilde understood how Duo felt about the other person, they cried and comforted each other for a night then became more close friends.
Hilde knew who that person was, she had been Duo's counsellor for a year. There wasn't as hopeless as Duo thought, Herro did feel a thing!
Well, sometimes Duo could be very annoying but his passionate was true, no one could push away concern and love like that. Not even Herro could.
" How are you guys doing, though." Hilde's question made Duo stopped writing.
" Same as usual, he turns away at the main point. I begin to question about you woman's sixth sense." Duo sucked the straw hardly, tried to drink his sorrow back.
" You have to trust me, Herro did change a lot. He is opening up because of you, he do feel a thing. What you have to do is tell him how much you love him, I could do it you can do it!" Hilde took Duo's hand.
" Thanks Hilde you are the best friend on the earth." Duo returned the holding.
" Buy me a drink then."
" Hey, I haven't got pay yet!"
The next day they had a practice after school in the basketball count, Trowa and Quatre changed into shorts and t-shirt. When they arrived, Trowa saw a boy was in the middle of the count, thinking. Trowa had never seen him before. The boy had black hair tied as pigtail, slender body but muscular. Orient bronze skin showed health and strength, he turned when he heard they approached.
" Hello, Wu Fei." Quatre greeted the boy.
Wu Fei nodded then faced Trowa, " he's the one Maxwell said?"
" Oh, let me introduce," Quatre stood between them, " this is Trowa, my roommate and this is Wu Fei, he is the assistant of the self-defence class in school."
" Nice to meet you." Wu Fei gave a little bow.
" Me too."
Herro and Duo finally arrived.
" Sorry guys, teacher wouldn't let us go." Duo said.
" Must be you have done something again." Wu Fei snorted.
" Hey~ Wu man, you sound like I am a trouble maker!" Duo protested.
" But you are and DON'T call me WUMAN!!! My name is Wu Fei or you can't even speak good English."
Once they started, they would never stop. Fortunately, Herro cut them off and pulled Duo to the basketball count. Then they started the game.
Herro was fast, surprised you as he ducked and passed the ball to somewhere you would never expect. Wu Fei was fast, too. He would challenge the enemies and proved his super skill. Duo was active, always ran around you couldn't even catch his braid and he never lost the target. Quatre was the wing; he ran like wind that no one noticed him until he shot. Trowa was tall and strong, he stayed outside the key ring as a three points scorer.
They felt like they were a team before even this was their first time on the field, everyone played their roll perfectly. Their spirits were high.
After an hour they rested on the floor, they talked about game before and how good were the others. They then talked about some other boys' stuff and laughed like old friends, they were all looking forward the game next week.
Wu Fei said it was getting late so they packed up and went back to the Hostel together, they would meet in the dining room after a shower and walked back to their room.
Quatre used the bathroom first then was Trowa, it was quite hard to Trowa to stay clam because the bathroom was full of Quatre's smell. Clear and sweet were the very smell of Quatre, exactly what Trowa could smell every time Quatre walked pass.
Trowa shook off the thought and stepped out as fast as he could. He joyed the others with Quatre after ten minutes.
It was a very good evening for Trowa.
Soon the day had come, they checked that they would play in the morning. If they won, they would have semi final at afternoon, then one more game and they could reach the cup.
" We can win this one, we are perfect with Trowa. I could remember last year that we lose because of that arrogant guy, I was so pissed off when he said that wasn't his fault." Duo gripped his fist.
Last year Quatre invited an exchange student to their team, that was his last year and he told Quatre he would like to play with them. He was nice to Quatre, Herro and Wu Fei ( actually he was quite scared of them ) but not really nice to Duo. In the final game, he meant to miss out Duo's passing so they lose the game. When Duo asked him why and he said he didn't see him and it was Duo's fault to pass the ball. If not Herro drugged Duo away, they would have a fight. The boy didn't come back.
" I am sorry about that, I didn't know he was that kind of person." Quatre never wanted to upset his friend.
" Nay, I am fine. There are heaps of bastard outside, I just met one unluckily." Duo turned to the others, " we will get what we lost last year. Guys, it's time to kick some buttes!!!"
They all showed their best and with some luck, they won the morning game easily as a result of 78:23, Dou was very happy.
Quatre suggested that to have some morning tea in the garden, so they got change and went to the rose garden. They met Hilde on the way.
" Good game! Where are you guys going?" Hilde asked.
" We are going to eat something." Duo answered.
" Can I come with you?"
" Sure, I am happy that you want to joy us." Quatre gave her a smile.
Then six of them moved to the garden, Hilde could feel lots of eyes looking at their way, first on the boys then on her. Those were not friendly eyes but Hilde enjoyed this moment, bathed at the women jealousy, not every woman could have that.
" I feel like a princess surround by you guys." Hilde signed.
" Then we are the knights to protect the princess." Quatre said.
" I don't mind to be a knight as long as the princess is not you." Duo grinned.
" Hey!"
They all laughed.
After a cup of tea and some cakes, the boys had some free time so they separate. Wu Fei wanted to have some peace and quiet; Herro gone by himself quietly; Duo and Hilde talked closely at a corner. Trowa and Quatre went to see the new rose bloomed.
When they walked on the path, everything like a dream, so not real but felt so clear. The sun shone on Quatre's hair like gold, his cheeks red as rose, lips moved softly when he spoke. It seemed time went back to the first day Trowa saw Quatre laid on the grass, the first time he found the beauty in his world.
Quatre found that Trowa was looking at him, " something wrong?"
" No, I was thinking. Sorry."
" Are you tired? We can go back."
" I don't feel tired, we can walk a little more."
Quatre didn't say anything but he slowly walked back; Trowa was touched by his genial.
If I were a knight, Quatre would be my prince. The feeling of protect the smaller boy in front of him was swelling inside Trowa's heart, he was a little bit scare but at the other side he felt so warm.
The afternoon game was not easy, the team they met had entered the final last year. It was Herro who had shot and got the mark at the last second to won. Duo was so pissed off because another team played quite rough, he had been knocked down at least twice. Even Quatre had been pushed once, Trowa was angry
because the guy pushed Quatre was half bigger than Quatre. What if he broke Quatre? Trowa probably would break the boy's arms.
" Man! They were like playing rugby!" Duo checked the bruise on his arm.
" Don't you know they are the rugby club." Wu Fei said coolly.
" Are you alright? Quatre." Trowa hissed when he saw the ugly bruise on Quatre's delicate skin.
" Just a small bruise, I am fine."
Whatever Quatre said, the bruise looked big enough for Trowa, it was red and purple and it would be black later. Trowa used a wet towel to cold down the bruise, the sensation made Quatre gave out a soft moan.
" Thank you."
" You are always welcome."
" It's not fair~~ What about me?" Duo protested.
Herro gave Duo a stare, he never knew when to shut his big mouth up! Surely Duo got the message and walked away to care himself.
" Herro, could you go and check Duo? He might need some help." Quatre pushed a little.
Looked at Quatre and looked at the way Duo had gone, Herro nodded and said, " I will keep him out of trouble."
Quatre could help but laugh when Herro was gone, these two just couldn't be honest to each other. Before the final game started, Duo thanked him for that.
Destiny was a funny thing, it gave you a second chance some times. Duo thought this was the time destiny stood on their side, they met the team last year.
" I think we can have a revenge." Duo said.
Was this lucky or not? Quatre didn't know but this time they had Trowa, everything would be different.
The game started, Herro got the ball and ran through the guard to the other side. He got the first mark in ten second.
However the other team regained their mark after the shock, the basketball was like a magnet sticked on their hand never missed the passing.
The mark then became 12:4, Herro's team was losing.
" They are faster than last year." Duo wiped the sweat by his t-shirt.
" One year is long enough." Wu Fei cut the ball and gave a long pass to the teammate inside the ring—Herro.
" And not only them trained hard." Herro said after he made a shot.
The game kept going, two teams were chasing the ball in the field. Both of them tried their best to goal in twenty minutes. Their attention had never left the basketball until the whistle gone.
Duo sat down on a chair, his eyes didn't move away from the other team.
" You are going to burn a hole on them." Wu Fei teased.
" I hope I can."
Trowa understood why Duo though likes that because that team was different from the other, they were the real basketball team even they were runner up.
" We can do it."
Everyone turned to Quatre.
" We will take the cup this year, we can do it." Quatre's voice was confident.
" Woo~~ya~~ I feel like full of power~~ Q-man, we can do it, we can win this game!!" Duo stepped one foot on the chair and pointed to the sun( the count was indoor ). ^o^
" It works every time." Quatre smiled.
The second part Duo was like a human rocket ran around, no one could stop him. That didn't help a lot when overwhelming Duo began to exhaust.
They decided to change the plan, attempted on three points, that's meant depend on Trowa.
That was not an easy task while two people guarded you but Trowa made it, sometimes passed to Quatre who always been ignored.
Time was running out but they were still ten marks behind. Although Duo recovered they still behind a few marks.
When they noticed, it was the last 30-second and they were 2 marks behind, they all knew only Trowa could twist the fate.
" The tall one, keep an eye on him."
There were nearly three people around Trowa, he couldn't shoot and couldn't pass.
10-seconds…
" Trowa!"
9…
Trowa didn't think and toss the ball to the sweetest sound in the world.
8…
" The blond!"
7…
Quatre didn't hold the ball but throw it to the back where a shadow with braid caught it.
6…
" The braid one!"
5…
The ball then was in Wu Fei's hands.
4…
He went to the ring and going to shoot.
3…
Herro ran pass and the ball wasn't in Wu Fei's hands anymore!
2…
When Herro passed Quatre, the ball was in Trowa's hands and he jumped.
1…
The basketball was floating in the air…through the ring…
0!
" Beep!!!!!!!"
" We made it! We won!!!" Duo yelled and jumped in Herro arms.
" We won! Trowa, you are my hero!" Quatre also jumped in Trowa's arms and the girls around screamed like hell.
Herro threw Duo down, Duo protested but didn't miss the little blush on the Japanese boy's face. He then turned to hug Wu Fei.
Trowa was so happy of the weight in his arms, he tighter his embrace and smelled the sweet from the small body.
The team walked on the stage when the speaker announced them, the principal handed them the silver cup. It wasn't big but large enough to fill them heart, filled them with happiness.
Quatre squeezed Trowa's hand from behind, when the tall boy looked down, he saw an angel's eyes full of happy and something else. Trowa squeezed back slightly and smiled, too.
They didn't know there were 29 pairs of eyes staring at them, they were gone when Quatre came back from the love world.
