Part 5: 10 years after!!!
Quatre was worrying, Trowa didn't come back for the afternoon class and not even in Hostel. It was now 7 o'clock and he still hadn't came back.
" Where can he be?"
" Hey, cat! What are you doing here?" That was Duo.
" Duo! Trowa hasn't come back, he wasn't at school afternoon, I am worrying!" Quatre now even more panic, he was shaking.
" Woo, hold it, you are shaking cat. Trowa is a grow up, maybe he just wants to be alone." Duo tried to comfort Quatre.
" But he always come back for dinner, I know he wants to be alone these days but he always show up on time for every things. That's why I am worrying!"
" He maybe fell asleep some where."
" He is not like you." came a clam voice behind them.
" Herro!"
" Hey, what did you mean!" Duo protested.
Herro ignored Duo and turned to Quatre, " When did you last see him?"
" In English class."
" Well, he maybe still on the root." Herro said calmly.
" You mean you know where he has gone for this whole week?" Duo said but Herro just nodded.
" Last time I called him when he was on a tree deep in thought, he nearly fell off. So, I think I would better leave him alone or this time he may fell off from the root." Still the emotionless tone.
" Are you trying to tell a joke?"
" Told you, I am not like you."
" Guys, Trowa's missing!!! I think I better call Rashid." Quatre looked for his cell phone.
Then, Herro suddenly pointed to the door and Duo saw who's coming, with a knowing smile, they left.
" Duo, I can't find my cell phone, can I borrow…Trowa!!!"
" Who do you want to call? Little one."
" Huh…Rashid?" Quatre looked at Trowa, did he just call me little one?
" T-Trowa? Where have you been? Are you alright?"
" I am fine, little one."
" Did you call me…"
" Little one?" Trowa found that it was fun.
Quatre just nodded.
" Yes, I did and I always do." Trowa couldn't help but let the corner of his lips curve up.
Trowa was smiling at him, not that Trowa never smile but it's rarely happen!
" I have got something want to say to you, little one." Trowa just loved to call Quatre that.
" What's you want to say?" Trowa's stare made Quatre a bit nervous.
" Can we go back to our room? It's too open here."
Didn't wait Quatre agree, Trowa already stride to their room. This was the first time in the week they ever come back together, the room seemed so small when Trowa's back. Somehow Quatre felt so right with.
Trowa gestured Quatre to sit on his bed and he then sat beside him, they were a bit too close to Quatre that made his heart racing.
" Can I hold your hand?" Trowa asked. " I may need some courage."
With a nod from the blond angel, Trowa carefully holding the pale small hand into his.
" I want to tell you a story, little one. Once upon a time, there was a young man who got lost in the dark
forest. Every tree were the same to him, he didn't know where to go but kept walking. His country was destroyed by war, not only direction but also his own heart lost. He thought he would never found light again but when he was going to give up, there was an angel came down from the sky. The angel helped the young man walked out of the dark forest and he found that his family was still alive. He had found love again."
" That's a very touching story, Trowa." Quatre sighed.
" It's a beautiful story and it's real," Trowa squeezed Quatre's hand slightly and continued. " I have been lost for a long time, it is you, little one, you are the angel and the only light and hope to lead me out from the dark forest in my heart. I love you."
Quatre spent at least 5 second to understand what had Trowa said, did he that long for Trowa's love and finally started hearing thing?
" Listen to me, little one. You are not dreaming and this is real, I do love you. All my heart." Trowa looked deep in Quatre's baby blue, they were so beautiful when they reflect his emerald.
" You do love me?"
Trowa nodded.
" This isn't my dream?"
Nodded again.
" You real are Trowa?"
This time Trowa laughed.
" Do you need me to prove it to you?"
Quatre couldn't understand what did Trowa mean but the next moment, he came face to face with Trowa and something warm and soft pressed on his lips. Still didn't know what happened and how it happened, Quatre let himself to feel it, from the bottom of his heart.
Yes, it was real and Trowa just confessed to him and he was kissing him now, their very first kiss!!!
Arms found each other's body unconsciously and claimed strongly, when the kiss broke there was no space between them. Then another kiss started, and an other and other more kisses.
Neither knew when and how they lying on the bed but no one cared, the only thing did matter was they had each other in their arms.
" I love you, Trowa. I have been loving you since we met in the garden." Quatre gasped.
" I know because me, too."
Then again the room fall in silence.
Duo's eyes gazed at the couple sitting opposite him; even moron knew what had happened. Just looked at the way they looked at each other. Well, they were looked like that before but not as obviously. Their eyesight never broke.
" I believe there was something happened last night…so…enjoy the first time, Cat?"
" It's not what you think, dirty mind." Quatre said but still didn't move his eyes.
" Then, what happened?" never give up, that's Duo for you!
" We spent our time." Trowa said.
" So?"
" So it's none of your business!" Herro said.
" Hey! That's mean! I just concern about my friends!!!" Duo turned to Herro with a face.
" You're just noisy, Maxwell." Wu Fei sat down at the corner.
" And you are not!!! Don't tell me that you guys are not interested in what had happened!!!" Duo protested.
" I can see what happened, I don't have to ask." Wu Fei threw it back.
" Oh, so tell me, Mr. 'know-it-all', what had happened last night?"
" Guys, stop it. Okay, I will tell you what happened." Quatre blushed slightly.
" Trowa and I confessed last night///"
" I can see that but what then, I mean did you two…" Duo's words obviously pointed at something.
" NO! I mean … we didn't…" Quatre's face was boiled red.
" We had also came up something," Trowa said.
" What's that?"
" I am going to America study."
That was a long pause when Duo finally found his voice back.
" Are you kidding? You two just get together and now you said you are going?"
Trowa nodded and Quatre smiled sadly.
" We talked about it last night and we both agreed it's a good chance for Trowa, he contacted the school last week and they still want him to go and will pay for the school fee." Quatre held tight on his new lover's hand.
" Before I didn't want to go because I couldn't leave Catherine but Quatre said he can take care of her, I called Catherine this morning and she said yes, too."
" The school asked Trowa to finish till Master, included some years of working experience, that will be about ten years."
" Ten years!!!" Even Herro's eyes gone wide.
" Yes, ten years…"
" Quatre, if you don't want me to go, I can…"
" No, Trowa. This is for your own good, ten years will pass very fast." Quatre stopped his lover to continue, he afraid he would regret.
" When are you leaving?"
" Next month."
" That's fast!"
Yes, it would soon be next month and then Trowa would be gone, and if they had time, they might see each other again.
In that month, they took time whenever they could to spend together, mostly walked around in the rose garden hand in hand.
Duo felt heartache looked at them like that.
" Why can't he stay? He can study here will Cat and be together."
" Because he thought about their future, think about Quatre's position, they can't be equal if he stay. Trowa is trying his best to stand beside Quatre proudly." Herro stared at the couple sitting under a tree.
" That's will be a tough path."
" Live never easy."
Love also not easy… Duo thought.
" Leave them alone, give them more time. Trowa will be leaving next Monday."
" I think so…"
They left, let the lovers stole some more moments.
" Remember to write, little bro." A red hair woman hugged Trowa and tried to hide her tears.
" I will, Catherine. You take care, okay?"
Let go of her brother, Catherine let the other said good bye to Trowa.
" Good luck, Tro!!! Have a good fly!" Duo also gave Trowa a hug.
" Good wind, Barton." Wu Fei held out a hand and Trowa shook it.
Herro just a nodded but already meant everything.
Then left Quatre, Catherine gestured the other to go somewhere else.
It's seemed like an hour till both of them spoke at the same time, they stopped and started again.
" You say it first…"
" You can say it first…"
Suddenly Trowa laughed.
" Looks like we don't know what to say."
" Then don't say anything!" With that, Quatre flew into Trowa's embrace.
They held tight on each other like drown people in the middle of the sea, neither of them wanted to let go. Finally was Trowa who pulled away, he needed to even didn't want to lost Quatre's body warm.
" I need to go, little one."
" I know but can't you pretend we still have time? I don't want you to leave!" Quatre jumped in Trowa's arms again.
" No, little one, we talked about that already, it's hurts me a lot, too." Trowa said.
Quatre didn't move but Trowa could feel those little hands around his waist went tight, Trowa let Quatre held still for a moment and at last squeezed light on his shoulder.
" I love you, Trowa, you know that?"
" Yes, because I love you, too."
" You have to remember me,"
" Of course."
" You have to call me,"
" I will."
" You have to write,"
" I will write every week."
" If you met someone, you have to talk me, I will understand."
Trowa was stunned.
" What were you talking about? I only have you."
" But who knows what will happened in these year, if you met someone you love more than me…" Quatre couldn't say it, it hurt so much.
Trowa sighted, he was the one who afraid Quatre would meet someone cause he still felt he didn't deserve Quatre. Left up that pale little hand, Trowa placed a kiss on it then put it on his heart.
" You have my promise, there is nothing as close as you to my heart. If you don't want it, you can throw it away anytime."
" Oh, Trowa!"
They hugged and didn't know where or who started first, they cried.
" Forever?"
" Forever." Trowa then let go and gone.
Ring
Ring, Ring
[Hello, this is Quatre, I am busy or didn't hear the phone. If you want to leave a message, please leave it after a bip.]
[Bip]
[Hi, Cat!!! Just want to tell you we will be there for dinner, I finally make Herro to take out some time! Man~~ he is a crazy working machine, besides work and sex he really got nothing to do!!! Ouch!!! What's that for? Can't you have a sense of humour? Okay, we will be there around at 6, so… get your hands off of him, Trowa!]
[Bip]
" Isn't that a bit too late?" Quatre gasped.
" There's still some time, I don't have to use a whole day to prepare the dinner." Trowa's hands kept downward and disappeared in Quatre's shirt.
" But.."
" No 'but's, little one."
All the protest was gone when Quatre's mouth was too busy being occupied.
From their linked hands, there were two match gold rings, they were singing for their love, a love harmony.
