I Don't Want To Be Alone Anymore

Chapter 2

That following morning Midii woke up startled because she wasn't in her apartment. Then she remembered that she fell sick and that Trowa took care of her. When she got out of bed and went for the door she turned around for some reason. She thought that probably Trowa slept somewhere taking care of her all night. To her surprise he did take care of her all night. He was sleeping on that couch with his trademarks black turtleneck and jeans. She walked over to Trowa and helped him with his blanket and stroked his hair.

"Thank you Trowa, I didn't think you really cared." She murmured. Before walking away she admired the way he looked sleeping. "Looks so innocent, like a little boy. It's hard to believe that he was a Gundam Pilot. Then again it's not so hard when he wakes up." She thought. Slowly she bent down with her eyes closed to kiss him on the cheek. Before she could kiss him Trowa turned his face and she ended up kissing his lips instead. "Huh? This isn't his cheek. What did I kiss?" She thought troubled. She opened her eyes and almost squealed in shock if Trowa wasn't asleep. She quickly backed away from him blushing.

Catherine then walked into the room with a tray suddenly making Midii blush harder.

"Midii, are you all right? Your face--it's red." Catherine said concerned.

"I-I'm fine. There's no need to worry about me." Midii stuttered. Catherine placed the tray on a table.

"This is Trowa's and your breakfast." Catherine pointed out.

"Thank you." Midii said politely. Then Trowa began to wake up, he yawned loudly.

"About time, sleepyhead." Catherine giggled.

"Hn." Trowa responded tartly. Catherine giggled louder along with Midii.

"I already ate, so I'll leave you two alone." Catherine said leaving. After Catherine left Midii and Trowa just stared at each other blankly in silence. After a couple of minutes Midii began to set the table. Trowa walked over to the table and started helping her. During the process Midii and Trowa were both reaching for the same item. Midii reached it first and Trowa a second later. They both stopped moving for awhile at this predicament. The uncomfortable silence filled the room again. Slowly they moved their heads up to look at each other. They held their gazes for a moment, staring very intently at each other. Trowa removed his hand away from the object. Midii picked up the utensil and placed it on her side of the table.

"What was that all about?" Midii wondered. When they were done setting the table they immediately began to eat.

"I see you're feeling much better." Trowa commented.

"Yes, I don't feel sick at all. Thank you for taking care of me last night."

"you're welcome." Trowa blushed and lowered his head so his bangs could cover it.

"You must like your job." Midii said trying to strike a conversation. "I remember when we ten, I saw you look back at the circus like you wanted to be in it." Trowa didn't say anything he just continued eating.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have mentioned it." Midii said sadly looking down at her food.

"I do like working at the circus." Midii looked up startled. "It does make me happy." Trowa continued.

"That's because you're making other people happy. People come to the circus to spend some time with their loved ones. It always feels good to make people happy." Trowa was startled by her answer and looked up at her. "When I go to work people aren't there just to eat a meal. People are also there to talk and be happy."

"Do you have someone who makes you happy?" Trowa asked startling Midii.

"No, not really." Midii said wistfully. "I wish that person was you though." "Whenever I do find that person. I want to protect him with all my life. I will always try to make him happy."

"I feel like that about Cathy in a way."

"Do you love her?" Midii asked her heart beating ferociously.

"Yes, but not in the way that you think." Trowa teased.

"Oh." Midii muttered blushing.

"She's my surrogate sister."

"Do you have somebody who makes you very happy?" Midii asked thoughtfully.

"No." He answered bluntly his heart beating hard.

"Well, I'm done." Midii said standing up cleaning.

"You don't have to do that." Trowa said also standing. "I'll get them." He offered taking the plates and other utensils away from her.

"Thanks."

At the entrance of the circus....

"Thank you for having here." Midii said politely.

"It was really nice seeing Trowa's girlfriend." Catherine said. Trowa and Midii both blushed in response. "I was just kidding."

Trowa cleared his throat. "Well, I guess we'll be seeing you."

"Yeah and if you ever want to eat. Please visit me at Cafe Terrace." Midii said cheerfully. Trowa rummaged through his jean pockets and pulled out a ticket.

"Take this, come watch the show if you want to." Trowa said.

Midii took the tickets from his hand and smiled. "I'll come." "I'll always want to see you." Midii then walked away waving.

When Midii was out of earshot Catherine said to Trowa, "That's the first time I've seen you give a ticket to someone. Do you really want her to see you perform?" Trowa didn't say anything and walked inside the tent. Catherine flustered at his response went in after him.

Author's Note: Finally, I have it done. I hope you liked this chapter. I think I made Midii too much like Miki from Marmalade Boy in a way. I wasn't intending to do that. Please e-mail me your responses if you want to.
