A/N: Hey guys! I'm back with a new chapter! Thank you for all the reviews! I hope that you enjoy the next chapter.
Trowa stood outside of her door wondering why he was there in the first place. He went there unfazed by the harsh words said to him by his fellow commrad. He had to tell Suiren what he felt about her but he also feared what a relationship might cause in the future. He lifted his hand to knock on the door but resorted to sighing and turning his back to it. Trowa walked down the hallway to the kitchen and seated himself at the table with a glass of water. The dim lighting cast off strange shadows and made the glass of water glow. Trowa snapped his up as he heard a door creak open, followed by a soft patter from approching feet. Suiren slowly crept out of the dark hallway and into the dim kitchen light.
"Couldn't sleep?" she asked.
"Nope. I have too much on my mind right now to think about," Trowa answered after taking another sip of water. Suiren walked over to the refrigerator and opened it. She poured herself some milk and then took a seat in front of Trowa. Suiren took a sip of milk and smiled widely. "You like milk that much?"
"No actually. I hate milk. It's just that I forgot what things taste like after being kidnapped. My whole life that was spent there I only ate stale bread and drank nothing but water. Even the things I hated seem luxurious to my senses right now." She laughed. She looked down at her cup and jumped when she heard distant thunder. Trowa smirked at this.
"You're afraid of thunder?" Trowa asked putting his glass in the sink.
"I'm not afraid. It just makes me sad when I heard it."
"Why do you get sad?"
"Well....while I was held captive, the wars were going on, as you know. Well during that time I had seen the devestation it caused. The artillery being used sounded like that distant thunder. That's why when it rains it reminds me of a battle field. So, I begin thinking of the lives lost in those terrible times. It made me sad thinking that the distant rumble could have taken the life of my brother. I still hate Oz for provoking war. None of it should have happened." Suiren said shaking her head. Trowa sat in silence examining her every word. It was strange how she wasn't hurt or even involved much in the war and yet reflected upon it as though she were a veteran.
"The thunder reminds me of who I am." Trowa stated flatly. Suiren perked up at this. "I remember hearing that same loud rumble in the battle field. Even after the war, when it rains, it brings back memories of the war and how I was a soldier."
"Well you are relieved of those duties. I mean you have duty to protect me now but when all of this is over, you'll be back to building a good life. Just think, one day you'll be a happy buisness man with a beautiful wife and kids, living in a nice house with a large garden. And when you think life couldn't get any better, you'll see all those who suffered in the war enjoying life too. That day will come soon. Just be patient." she smiled.
"I don't know if I can handle the responsibilities of being a father." Trowa sighed.
"Sure you can. If you can handle war, kids aren't as bad as they seem. I mean of course it won't be easy but that's what makes having kids a pleasure. You teach them and you learn something new everyday too."
"I mean, I know I will have kids in the future, but I'm really just bent on obtaining my wife." Trowa said looking Suiren in the eyes. She twitched uncomfortably.
"So, who's the lucky girl?" Suiren asked swirling the milk left in her cup.
"I was hoping that it would be you."
"Trowa, I'm attracted to you too, but...you hardly know me. And I hardly know you. Let's not rush things. Let's just take our time to really get to know each other and then think about it then." Suiren said playing with her fingers.
"We will take our time to know each other better. But all I'm saying is that I know that I will marry you in the future."
Suiren began to blush under his steady gaze. She put her glass in the sink and slowly walked over to Trowa. She bent down and whispered in his ear, "Someday, but for now...we sleep." With that she planted a small kiss on his cheek and headed back to her room. Trowa sat there frozen with his breath still trapped in his lungs. He reached up to his cheek and exhaled. He smiled, full heartedly. For the first time in his life, he really saw a future for himself. A future that involved a house, kids and of course Suiren.
A/N: So how did you like it?! Well go and leave some reviews! Try to be nice. Don't send me nasty flames. ^______^ Love you!
