Chapter One
Wake up call
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Heero, Trowa or Catherine they belong to the creator I own no one :0(
AUTHOR NOTE: Hi I'm back with a new story, this is the single 1x3 that I've promised for ages. It's loosely based on that period when Heero is unconscious and Trowa takes care of him, then they go off together, if you're reading this fic then you know the one I mean. Anyhoo I mean loosely so the dialogue between character will NOT be the same as the series, some may others won't ok. Oh and it's written in Heero POV. Enjoy
He hurt there was no denying that, he had the feeling he was unconscious in the stage where he was about to wake up. On one level he knew that things were around him but he was still covered in the comforting darkness that suited his nature. Well it had been comforting until the pain started. It had started off as a dull ache, it was annoying, like Duo was but like Duo he could easily ignore it then it had grown until he couldn't take it anymore.
"Get up" his mind whispered to him "Open your eyes" without questioning himself, he forced his eyes open and glanced around him in confusion. He had no idea where he was. Sunlight poured through a window nearby and he was resting in someone's bed. He glanced to the side, following the sound of knitting and stared at Relena. He groaned inwards, could he not get away from her, just what the hell did he have to do?.
"Relena" he whispered, it was an effort, the girl turned round but instead of long straight blond hair and blue eyes he was faced with an older woman with wavy red hair and lighter blue eyes
"Hello I see your finally awake. Trowa will be glad, I'll just go and get him for you" she stood up and smiled in a kindly fashion at him, almost like a mother to her child when he had done something right. She walked to the door and opened it calling out as she did "TROWA" Heero winced as the sound pierced through him causing his head to pound painfully. "Your friend is finally awake come and see him" she looked back in at him and gave the same smile again "I'm Catherine by the way. You're lucky to be alive. Trowa found you and took care of you. You owe him your life" then she stepped out closing the door behind him. Heero sat carefully up. He was in debt to this Trowa person. The point was how he was going to pay him back. The door opened and Heero broke out of his thoughts and looked up to find himself locked into a emerald green eyes stare. He stared back and for a long moment no words were said just an assessment made. The boy turned away and Heero let out the breath he had been holding. Damn those eyes were dangerous.
"I see your finally awake" the boy said finally and Heero's eyes widened at the voice he nodded and kept his voice emotionless as usual
"Have I been out that long Trowa?" he questioned, the boy glanced at him quickly, probably surprised to hear him speak his name
"A month maybe more" Heero looked away out the window where it was clear that it was summer, that meant it was June.
"A whole month" he said softly to himself, no wonder he felt weak
"You're lucky you're alive, we didn't think you'd make it half the time" Heero glanced up at him a slight burning light coming to his Prussian blue eyes
"That kinda was the point, I was meant to die at the same time I destroyed my Gundam" Trowa looked at him a long time and Heero stared back. He just couldn't see pass the boys mask, his whole face could of been made out of ice, Heero dropped his eyes. It didn't stop the boy being stunning though. Heero had to admit to himself that he was gorgeous in an elegant way. Tall and slim, light brown hair that covered one eye, perfect features and of course the green eyes the colour of polished emeralds. He would have to be careful around Trowa, he looked up "Why did you rescue me Trowa?" he asked. Trowa shrugged but didn't answer the question instead he turned to him
"People think you're dead" he commented coolly sitting down lightly into a chair positioned by the bedside "In a way that's sad but in another way it must be good for you to hear"
I guess your right" Heero replied then as a thought struck he looked up to see Trowa watching him again "Have they found you Trowa?" he demanded, Trowa shook his head causally getting out of his seat and walking to the window and glancing out
"There hasn't been any mission since you self detonated, you're free from the colonies now, perhaps I should follow your example and self detonate" Heero looked at him
"Want some advice" he said in a tired sounding voice that Trowa picked up on immediately "It hurts like hell" Trowa turned to him a startled look on his face before he started laughing out loud. Heero's eyes widened then a small smile curved his lips, he kinda liked hearing Trowa laugh. "What happened to the others?" he asked once Trowa's control clamped back down, he shrugged
"I don't know what happened to the others" he admitted with a shrug "We all separated after the battle and of course Wufai never turned up, I haven't paid much attention to the news either all it talks about is Oz taking over" he glanced at Heero "I've been looking after you instead with Catherine's help" Heero let a slight smile escape him, if only Oz hadn't put the Colonies at stake none of this would of happened.
"I've put you out badly haven't I?" he remarked quietly mainly to himself, Trowa went to answer
"Are you hungry?" Catherine said walking in at this point Trowa's mouth closed with a thump. Heero looked up at her
"I'm... I'm" he frowned in confusion he just wanted to sleep
"Let him sleep Catherine he can eat when he next wakes up" Heero nodded lowering himself to the mattress before sleep took him he took one more look into the emerald depths then he was gone.
There you all go people Chapter one finished. I'm going to do it in the way that it will Heero's POV, then Trowa then Heero ect ect. Anyway please review but no flames. Thanks.
