Lina sat upon a branch and watched the sun set behind the mountains. A cool breeze wove through her hair as she was lost in thought. A squirrel bounded up to her and broke through her thoughts. Lina looked at it and smiled. She gently picked it up so as not to scare it off.

She held it to her chest and gently stroked its head. The squirrel gently nibbled her fingers, but Lina didn't notice. She was lost in thoughts once more. The squirrel sat up in alert as it sensed a presence nearby. It scurried off as a shadow loomed over Lina. Lina did not look up, knowing who it was already.

"What do you want?" Lina asked quietly.

"I want to talk to you," Trowa said equally quiet. Lina did not say anything, but continued to look at the setting sun. Trowa sat down next to her and too, looked at the setting sun. They sat there in silence before Lina spoke, breaking the silence.

"What do you want?" Repeating her earlier question. Trowa turned to face her. He caught the gasp that almost escaped his lips.

Lina looked beautiful in the last light of the sun. It made her features more noticeable and made her skin glow. Her blue eyes seem to reflect the light of the setting sun which brought out its full color. Looking at her was breath taking.

Lina turned to look at him when he didn't speak. Trowa was struck by the deep blue sad eyes that stared at him. "Well?" Her voice held no emotion, but Trowa heard pain under the emotionless cover. Trowa swallowed the lump in his throat.

"Lina, I... I'm sorry," was all he could get out. Lina's eyes betrayed her feelings and she turned away to look at the stars that were starting to show in the night sky.

"I'm sorry about what I had said before about using you. I never meant it and I don't know why i said it. I was stupid and I didn't know how much I really loved you until you were gone. I probably don't deserve you, but I hope that you can forgive me." Trowa looked at Lina for some sign.

Lina sat there motionless before breaking. Tears streamed down her cheeks and smal sobs escaped her lips. Trowa hesitated before taking Lina into his arms. Lina buriewd her face in his shirt and cried as Trowa held her close, saying comforting words to try and soothe her.

"When you said it, I thought you didn't love me, that all that happened between us didn't matter and was all fake," she said quietly.

"All those things meant the world to me," Trowa whispered into her ear. "I love you Lina."

"I love you too Trowa." (A/N: awwww! sorry, i couldn't help it! it was cute!)

"We better get back, the others will worry," Trowa said.

"Okay," came the muffled voice. Lina sat up and dried her eyes with a sniff. "Lets go back." They both jumped down from the branches and landed gracefully. Trowa wrapped his arm around Lina's waist as they both walked back to the others.

As they approached the run down building, the girls, except Lakita, watched in awe as they saw Trowa and Lina in each others arms. They sighed at the romance displayed and giggled.

Trowa and Lina walked into the building and Lina sat down on the floor. "I'm pooped. Who wants the bed?" she asked. No one said anything.

"No one wants the bed? Why not? I've been sleeping in it too long and you guys had to sleep in the sleeping bags. One of you needs the bed." Everyone looked at each other. There was a snort.

"Well, since no one wants it, I'll take it," Lakita said. Meiran laughed.

"Well, that's Lakita for you. She doesn't care about being polite when she doesn't need to," she said. The others shrugged and slept in the sleeping bags.

"Oh, by the way trowa," Duo said. "Don't you or your girl do anything. I'd like to get my sleep if you please." Duo grinned and had an evil glint in his eyes. Lina flushed.

"Duo! You hentai!" Everyone laughed and went to sleep, Lina in Trowa's arms. The night was peaceful as the moon watched over them.
