I Don't Want To Be Alone Anymore

Chapter 8

By AnimaeChina

The next morning when Trowa tried getting out of his bed he felt something warm next to him. He remembered that he and Midii slept together (AN: Why does that sound so H? -_-;). He stared at for several minutes and tentatively reached for her face. He stroked her cheek with his forefinger.

"So soft and warm." Trowa murmured. A couple of seconds later Midii mumbled something in her sleep and snuggled closer to Trowa, clutching on his shirt. During this point he was afraid to move at all.

"How do I wake her up...?" He thought nervously. After thinking carefully for a couple of seconds an idea hit him. Trowa leaned toward Midii and kissed her lips for several minutes. When he parted Midii began to stir a little. Trowa blushed, "It worked, it actually worked. Then again she could have been awake for the whole time."

"Good Morning, Trowa." Midii said happily, smiling.

"Good Morning to you too sleeping beauty." He responded half-annoyed, half teasing.

"Trowa~~~!" She mumbled into his neck, wrapping her arms around him. Trowa placed his chin on top of her head and sighed.

"This feels nice, if only we could stay like this forever." Trowa thought blissfully. After five minutes in each other's arms Catherine surprised them by saying good morning.

Oblivious to their disappointment she smiled at them cheerfully, "I hope you guys are ready for breakfast! I brought you cinnamon flavored oatmeal accompanied with orange juice and a blueberry muffin!"

"Thank you." Both Midii and Trowa said softly in unison. That made them distance away from each other. They didn't want to show another public display of affection in front of Catherine.

"Uh--Catherine, how did you know I was here?" Midii asked suspiciously and nervously.

Catherine placed their breakfast on the table and turned toward her. "When I came home at night I noticed that it was quiet, too quiet even for Trowa. I went into his room to see if he was in there asleep. I was right and I also noticed you were sleeping next to him! The sight of the two of you together seemed like a fairy tale. Trowa looked like a cute lost little boy and you like a fragile life-like doll!" She explained with pleasure. Trowa and Midii stared at her in stunned silence. Midii gave Trowa a look asking if she was like this. Instead of answering her he got off the bed and walked towards Catherine.

"Thank you for the oatmeal Catherine." Trowa said pushing her out of the room. "But the description of how we slept wasn't necessary."

"I'm so--" She said but Trowa closed the door on her before she could finish.

"Didn't you want to hear her apology?" Midii asked disturbed. Trowa turned toward her and gave Midii a distraught look.

"I didn't mean to be rude but she's getting a little a pushy." Trowa explained nervously. Midii got off the bed and walked over to Trowa. She put her arms around his waist and buried her face into his back.

"Poor, poor Trowa." She teased, snuggling against him. Trowa broke free of her embrace and scooped her off her feet.

Midii shrieked and giggled, "What are you doing?" Trowa didn't answer instead he walked over to the bed and placed her on top of it. He pinned her arms above her head and leaned toward Midii making their noses almost touch. He stared straight into her eyes, smiling wickedly (AN: I've never seen Trowa smile wickedly...he seems to only smile slightly and he only laughs at Heero (or his jokes).).

"How dare you make fun of me." He said in a low voice in mock anger.

"What are you going to do about it?" She challenged. Trowa then began tickling her and Midii started laughing hysterically.

"S-Stop it!" She demanded through laughter.

"Why~?" He asked in a singsong voice.

"O-Our breakfast will get c-cold!" Trowa stopped tickling and they both stared at the bowls of oatmeal on the table. A few seconds later Trowa's stomach grumbled and they both laughed hysterically.

"Shall we eat now?" Trowa asked motioning his arms to the table. Midii nodded and he helped her up. They both sat down and ate their breakfast in comfortable silence. They seemed so comfortable it was like if they were living together for years. After they finished Trowa picked up the tableware. Midii ran over to the door and opened it for him.

When they both were out of the room Trowa faced Midii, "I'll go apologize to Catherine after I put these in the sink. Please go dress up." Then he walked away leaving Midii confounded. After she saw him disappear behind some sheet she smiled and went back inside the room.

"That guy--" Midii began, closing the door. "Is so cool!"

Back to Trowa....

Trowa found Catherine washing the dishes, he walked over to her cautiously, and placed the dishes in the sink.

"Thank you." Catherine said softly.

Trowa stared at her a couple of seconds, "I'm sorry."

Catherine stared at him astounded.

"I'm sorry. It's just that..." Trowa began but had trouble finding the words.

"It's just that you don't want to be embarrassed in front of Midii." She finished for him, smiling at him. Trowa, however, couldn't say anything but nodded.

Catherine chuckled. "I like seeing you this way, it's really amusing." Then she went back to washing the dishes.

Trowa made a face. "Thanks a lot." He said sarcastically and walked away.

Back in Trowa's room Midii was already dressed up and waiting patiently for Trowa.

"I'm back. Were you waiting long?" Trowa said coming in suddenly.

Midii shook her head. "No, are you going to drive me home now?" Trowa nodded and offered her hand. She walked to him and took it.

During the whole time inside the car they just sat in another comfortable silence. When they finally arrived to Midii's place Trowa offered to walk her to the front door.

"Thank you for taking care of me again." Midii said shyly.

"It's no problem. I wouldn't mind doing it again." He answered softly making Midii blush. Midii stood on her toes and closed her eyes. Trowa leaned down and helped her kiss him. Then Trowa went down the stairs and Midii just stood there watching him get to his car. When Trowa was about a yard away from his car he turned around and waved at Midii. Midii waved back, turned around fumbling with her keys, and began to unlock the door. When she got the door open she found an unpleasant surprise and screamed. Her scream was so loud that Trowa could hear it.

"Midii!" He said and ran back to her as fast as he could.

Author's Note: Sorry for the long delay again. I've been distracted of course. Right now I'm interested in L'arc~en~ciel and Gackt Camui! I have a couple MP3's from both. I wish I would have enough money to by their CD's. Anyway back to the story! I hoped you liked this chapter. Please don't be afraid to review or e-mail me I'd appreciate it. I bet you're wondering what the "unpleasant surprise" is. You have to wait until the next chapter.
