Well here is chapter 3. Keke. Hopefully it will not take as long to get
chapter 4 up. it would have been up earlier but my two younger sisters have
been busy with honor class stuff.
Chapter 3 is a more light hearted then the last two though you cannot really tell by the opening scene. hehe...um...anyway I hope you like this chapter as well. If not I'm really, really, really sorry. To answer Jack Scarlett Chapter 4. Which by the way will be oh so much fun.
Warnings: Nothing really new except for some fun with Wufei, major OOC. Gundam Wing dose not earn me a penny. Damn lawyers.

He opened his eyes as a pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around his waist stopping his fall. It toke a few long seconds for all of this to register in Heero's sleep deprived brain. "Trowa?" Heero asked softly.
"Heero you need to take better care of yourself. Caffeine is not a long- term substitute for sleep." Heero shivered as Trowa's words tickled his ear. "What are you working on anyway? Can I help?" Heero stood there speechless. ~He wants to help me? No one can help me.~
"I'm fine." Heero barked placing his hands on Trowa's arms. Trowa loosened his grip but did not release him. " I'm fine ok? I'm not Quatre you do not have to baby me." Heero snapped in annoyance.
"I know you're not Quatre. He would never do this to himself and you are not fine. You're shaking." Heero growled in frustration. ~Yelling always works with Duo~ He growled again as vision blurred. ~Gotta get away.~
"Listen Trowa I'm sorry but I'm just tired really." Trowa sighed. "Thank you for the offer but you can't help me right now." Another wave of dizziness struck him suddenly and once again Trowa keep him from hitting the floor. He could feel Trowa's warm breath on his neck causing him to shiver. Part of him wanted to just lean back and let Trowa hold him close while another part wanted to break his arms and run.
Heero tried to protest as Trowa scooped him into his arms but he was too tired to make his limbs respond. With a moan his protesting half was defeated and he rested his head on Trowa's shoulder closing his tired eyes, blocking out the world.
He opened his eyes when felt his back touch his bed but gave no indication he was awake until Trowa turned to leave. Trowa turned as Heero dug his weak fingers into the folds of Trowa's soft sleeves. "Yes Heero?" Trowa asked softly. He was perfectly content to simply stand there until his sleeve was released and Heero knew it.
"Trowa ..I...." Heero started weakly tugging on Trowa's sleeve.
"Shhh....you can tell later." Trowa whispered as he gently brushed Heero's sweaty bangs from his eyes. Heero shivered at the touch.
"Trowa I..." Heero started with a little m ore strength then his first try.
"Shhh..." Trowa frowned slightly. "You won't close your eyes until you tell me will you?" Heero swore he caught a faint smile as the other boy asked but he simply shook his head. "Ok I give." Trowa sighed as leaned closer.
"Aishiteru...." Heero whispered softly. Trowa blinked at him.
"I don't understand."
"Ai...." Heero trailed off eyes closing before his head feel to the side Trowa continued to lean over him for a moment before backing away.
"Is that good or bad?"
Quatre yawned as he sat up glancing at his cloak. "It's that late?! Oh well it's a free world." He yawned again before heading downstairs, smiling at the sleeping couple before walking into the kitchen. Trowa was already seated, feet propped up on the table, obviously in deep thought. Quatre shook his head at his partner as he fixed himself some tea before grabbing the full Mr. Coffee. "Usually you zone out with at lest half a cup." Quatre teased. Trowa blinked.
"Hun?" Trowa asked focusing on him. Quatre held up the empty mug.
"Is something wrong?" Trowa sighed removing his feet form the table.
"I'm fine. Heero on the other hand seems to be losing it." Trowa answered resting his elbows on the table. "You know anything?" Quatre shook his head.
"No. Everyone is safe and there are no up coming missions. I honesty cannot see why he would be working himself to death. Have you tried asking him?" Trowa nodded resting his chin in his hands.
"He said I couldn't help." He sighed.
"That is unusual. Maybe he's looking for his family and wants to do it alone?" Trowa shook his head.
"Dead same as mine, Duo's and now Wufei's." He closed his eyes. "I think something's bothering him and he's working so he can ignore it." Quatre frowned as he filled Trowa's mug.
"You are really worried about this aren't you? Well as worried as you get." Trowa only nodded slightly. ~Heero why won't you let me help you?~
Duo yawned. "What time is it?" Hilde stretched.
"Who knows? I smell coffee." Duo glanced at the empty sofa.
"Yeah Tro's up. Come on breakfast time." Hilde yawned as she fallowed Duo.
"Dude who died?" Duo asked frowning. The other two pilots looked up at him.
"No one died Duo." Quatre answered.
"Just heavy thinkin' hun?" Duo called as he rummaged threw the cupboards. Hilde sat down next to Trowa.
"So did you enjoy the marathon last night?" She asked smiling.
"It was entertaining." Trowa answered
"That's Hell Yeah in Trowa speak. Where are the Coco Pebbles?"
"Next door over." Quatre answered.
"Please tell me that's strong coffee?" Hilde begged eyeing the Mr. Coffee and the empty mug beside it. Trowa smiled.
"Define strong?" He asked setting them in front of her.
"Will it bend a spoon?"
"Never tried." Trowa admitted handing her a spoon. "But you're welcome to try."
Hilde smiled taking the spoon. "Maybe I will." She smiled pouring herself a mug. Duo grinned as he sat down.
"It's nice to see we're all getting along." Hilde giggled.
"And why wouldn't we honey?" Hilde asked smiling. Duo poured some chocolate milk on his Coco Pebbles.
"Well Tro here can still be a tad antisocial with strangers." Duo teased before digging in. Trowa snorted at him mimicking Wufei, which got a smile from Duo.
"She's not a stranger. She's mini Noin." Duo chocked, Quatre giggled and Hilde blinked lost.
"Noin?" She smiled sweetly at Duo. "Who's Noin Honey?" Duo coughed.
"She's one of our bosses. You just happen to look a lot like her." Trowa assured her.
"Really?"
"Yes Miss. Noin and Sally Po have been working with us for a while but we didn't start working for them until Libra." Quatre explain. Trowa nodded.
"Are they nice?" Hilde asked.
"They're the best Hil-babe otherwise we'd blow them off like we did the mad scientist rejects." Duo answered. Quatre frowned.
"Duo do you know what's wrong with Heero?" He asked.
"Hun? Is something wrong with him?" Trowa nodded. "Well he has tired and antisocial the past few days. I'll bug him about it later promise." Hilde giggled.
"You're so bad." She teased.
"And you love it." Duo teased back. Hilde smiled as she swirled the spoon threw her coffee. "Say Cat I was planning Hilde out, you know shopping and stuff? Am I needed?" Quatre shook his head.
"No. If something comes up we'll handle it so go have fun." Quatre answered.
"You sure?" Hilde asked.
"Yeah Cat just loves to make people happy. He spoils us."
"Trowa?!" Quatre asked shocked
"He's right Cat you do. That's why we all love you." Duo agreed grinning, glad Trowa was developing his sense of humor. Hilde sighed.
"Stop teasing him. You two are such...such...men."
Rasid sighed as he read over a stack of reports. "What's wrong boss?" Rasid looked up at his sunglass-wearing comrade.
"Just looking over some of the damage reports form that "skirmish" near Luna."
"Yeah they hauled in mostly scrap, but at lest the kids were aright."
"True but it did not help Master Quatre's recovery on bit."
"But he's fine now. Miss Po said he won't even have a scar." Rasid nodded.
"I know but I still feel like I'm letting Mr. Winner down some how." The other blinked.
"Why? His company is doing better the ever even with half of it's income going into rebuilding everything. The war is mostly over. His son is not only safe but he has a ban of loyal friends at his side. Oh yeah we all survived to. So why?"
"The other pilots. He's too attached to them. Two of them are violent and mentally unstable, one is just mental unstable, and on e is just mental."
"Now Rasid two of those boys have become more human since spending time with Master Quatre. Beside Mr. Winner is dead. There's no real point beating yourself up over it. Or are you worried about something in particular?"
"I still don't trust that Trowa Barton boy." Rasid admitted.
"Rasid he almost died to save our Master and he stole the Zero to save his sister. He's not capable of hurting our Master and you damn well know it!"
"I know it's just..."
"I know he's like a son to you but every father has to know when to let their son grow up. Just be glad he doesn't push away like most teenagers."
"That's not funny."
"Commander Rasid the rest of our men and suits are being shipped right now. They'll be here by tonight."
"Party?" The sunglass wearing man asked?"
"Party." Rasid answered.
Wufei frowned concentrating on what Trowa had just shown him. "You ready?"
"Yes" Wufei answered eyes narrowing "Rock, Paper, Scissors." Wufei chose Rock while Trowa chose Paper.
"I win." Wufei frowned.
"What do you mean you win? I chose Rock and Rock is stronger then Paper." Wufei asked confused
"Paper beats Rock." Trowa informed him grinning
"Paper cannot possibly beat Rock." Wufei scoffed.
"Well it dose because those are the rules."
"That makes no sense!" Wufei informed the grinning youth.
"I never claimed it did."
"Who taught you this "game"?" Wufei asked.
"My core's Captain. He used it to make all his important decisions."
"Well no wonder he's dead." Wufei mutter before biting his lips "Barton I..." Trowa shrugged.
"You're probably right he never was good at making up his mind."
"I want to try again."
"You sure ?" Trowa asked.
"Yes I'm sure."
"You got the rules straight now?"
"Yes."
"Rock beats?"
"Scissors?" Wufei asked.
"Good and Scissors beats?"
"Paper."
"Right and Paper?"
"Beats Rock."
"Good Ok."
"Rock, Paper, Scissors." Wufei chose Paper and Trowa took Scissors.
"You cheated."
"Wufei please this isn't poker you can't cheat."
"You cheat at poker?!" Wufei asked shocked.
"No, well only against rich snobs. I'm just a good tactical thinker so deal."
"Again!" Wufei cried.
"You know you're taking all the fun out of winning?"
"I don't care again!" Trowa sighed rolling his eyes.
"Ok, ok just clam down hun? It is only a game remember?"
"Rock, Paper, Scissors."
Heero groaned as he sat up looking around his room. "Trowa?" He whispered glancing at the clock it was already 9:31. He stretched as he stood in the back of his minding wondering why there had been no dreams. "Oh Kami I hope I didn't do anything I'll regret." He frowned as he tried to remember what happed after Trowa had laid him down. "Well If I did at least Trowa won't have told anyone." He leaned against the door.. "Thank Kami for small miracles." He slammed the back of his head gently against the door before heading out.
Heero stopped at the top of the stairs. "What the?"
"Wufei come it's just a game." Trowa teased laughing at the red face boy. Wufei growled in annoyance
"IT IS NOT!" Wufei screamed. Trowa held up his hands.
"Ok, ok it's not gezz." Trowa agreed sighing. Heero blinked at them in confusion. ~What the Hell?~ Trowa sighed as he rested his left arm on his raised left knee. "I don't get why you're going so ballistic? You can't master anything in less then half an hour." Wufei pounded a fist into the stairs a few inches from Trowa's right hand. "Hey?"
"Sorry." Wufei said looking down.
"No harm no foul.... did I really just say that?"
"Damn it you're starting to talk like him! What have I told you about spending too much time with Maxwell?" Duo smiled.
"Aw drop it Wu wu. We're teenagers remember? We just wanna have fun."
"I thought that was girls?" Trowa asked. Duo blinked down at him.
"That's a song Tro." Duo shook his head.
"Oh yeah. Hey Heero you feeling any better?" Heero nodded.
"Yes thank you." Heero answered wondering why he had not noticed Duo until he had spoken.
"It's not that hard to ask a question Heero." Heero nodded use to the way Trowa dismissed praise or thanks.
"I'll be in the gym." The three boys watched Wufei storm off muttering to himself. Heero sat down beside Trowa leaving enough space for people to still use the stairs.
"What were you two doing?" He asked eying the two remaining boys.
"Tro here was just teaching Wu Rock, Paper, Scissors. I came running when I heard Wu screaming. Tro's really good. I'm surprised you didn't notice the noise." Duo informed him grinning. Trowa shrugged grinning as well.
"Duo stop it you'll make me all Blushy." Duo laughed
"Aw I'm sure that would be kawii. What do you think Hee-chan?" Heero's eye twitched when Duo slipped his arms threw the railing and hugged Trowa's shoulders. "I see you learn the word of the week good boy. Thanks for the amusement kid" Trowa just laughed at him. "Well I'm gone Hil wants to go see this chick flick."
"Oh poor baby." Trowa teased. Duo ruffled Trowa's hair grinning.
"Just wait till your all grown up and you get yourself a women. They're great fun but sometimes they just have to do something girly." Hilde smiled as she walked up to the three boys. She was wearing a black mini skirt, a white halter-top, and a high pair of bitch boots. "And sometimes they make you say damn." Trowa rolled his eyes.
"Don't bother waiting up boys." She smiled slipping a violet nailed finger threw the golden loop on Duo's jacket's zipper. Duo waved as Hilde pulled him after her and out of the house.
"You and Duo seem to be getting along." Heero commented watching Trowa closely. Trowa shrugged.
"If you can't beat 'em join 'em as the saying goes." He answered softly.
"Trowa no baka." Heero muttered at the grinning youth.
"Perhaps." Trowa said shrugging again. Heero snapped his head to the side blinking at him.
"What did you just say?" Heero asked as his dreams started to creep out of his subconscious. Trowa arched an eyebrow at him.
"I only said perhaps? Are you sure you're alright?" Trowa asked giving him a confused look.
"Yes I'm still a little worn out don't worry about it." Trowa nodded as he rested his right arm on his propped up right leg.
"As you wish." Heero nodded in thanks as he examined the other boy. A pair of his preferred tight pale jeans had replaced the shorts he had been wearing earlier. The lose gray shirt had been replace with a lose teal tank top, which he wore untucked in contrast to Heero whose green one was always tucked in. ~He has nice arms to.~ Trowa sighed.
"Hey Heero?" Trowa asked not turning to look at him.
"Yeah?" Heero answered more then happy to studied Trowa's bang free profile.
"Do you remember what you said to me earlier?" His turned his eye to stare at him. "You were out of it so I'll understand if you don't" Heero blinked at him in a mix of confusion and fear. ~Oh Kami what did I.?~ "It was Japanese and sounded very pretty. Was it thank you or something?" Trowa asked curiously.
"Can you repeat it?" Heero asked while silently thanking whoever had made sure he had mumbled in his native language and not in English. Trowa frowned.
"It was Ai something." He closed his eyes lips moving silently. ~Ai?!~ " Aishiteru? Yeah that was it." Trowa smiled not looking at the pale Heero.
"Oh that's just an endearment. Sorry if it confused you." Heero explained bowing his head slightly. ~Well it is so I'm not lying just not telling the whole truth.~
"Feeling better Heero?" Quatre asked walking up to them. Heero blinked at him in surprise since he had not heard him approach.
"Yes. Thank you Quatre." Quatre smiled.
"Um.what are you two doing on the stairs? Do either of you know why Wufei is playing Rock, Paper, Scissors by himself?" Trowa chuckled at the confused blonde.
"That would be my fault Cat. He lost one too many times. Sorry." Quatre frowned at the grinning Trowa.
"Tell that to the practice dummy he keeps beating up on." Quatre shook his head at Trowa. "Have either of you seen Du.?"
"Date Cat." Trowa answered cutting the other boy off.
"Really how cute." Trowa rolled his eyes at the smiling Quatre.
"You are such a hopeless romantic Quatre." Trowa informed his partner. Quatre only giggled.
"You betchaya. Well I'll leave you two alone. Rasid needs me for something.." He frowned. "Now what was it?"
"Shoo Cat we'll be fine." Trowa teased flicking his wrist in a shooing motion. Quatre giggled at him.
"Oh well it's not that important. Bye." Quatre called running off. Heero shook his head in amusement
"So it's just the three of us now hun?" Heero nodded not sure where Trowa was going with that question. "So what do want to do tonight Pinky?"
"Hun?" Heero asked confused. "Pinky?" Trowa shook his head grinning.
"Duo's right you need to watch more TV." He informed Heero teasingly.
"And you need to watch less." Heero countered grinning back.
"Perhaps, you didn't answer my question yet?" Heero eyed Trowa wondering just what was going threw the other's secretive mind. Heero jumped when Trowa suddenly cursed. "Damn it!"
"What?!" Heero asked looking around.
"Can't think." Trowa admitted. Heero blinked at him.
"Ah..."
"Ah what He-chan?" Trowa asked using Duo's nickname for the other pilot.
"Oh sorry zoned there for a moment." Heero apologized rubbing the back of his head.
"Yeah I bet." Trowa teased standing
"Where are you going? Heero asked ignoring Trowa's teasing.
" To the lake." Trowa answered turning to look over his shoulder. "Care to join me? It's quite." Heero thought for moment about the offer. Did he trust himself alone with Trowa? Why didn't he dream last time? Trowa grinned at the frowning Heero. "Aw come on I don't bite?" ~How Duoish. Aw what the Hell.~"
"Sure. Some quite would be a nice change." He smiled when Trowa toke his hand and pulled him from the stairs. ~Soft just like in my dreams.~

Rasid sighed as he read over a stack of reports. "What's wrong boss?" Rasid looked up at his sunglass-wearing comrade.

"That's not funny."
"Commander Rasid the rest of our men and suits are being shipped right now. They'll be here by tonight."
"Party?" The sunglass wearing man asked?"
"Party." Rasid answered.
Wufei frowned concentrating on what Trowa had just shown him. "You ready?"
"Yes" Wufei answered eyes narrowing "Rock, Paper, Scissors." Wufei chose Rock while Trowa chose Paper.
"I win." Wufei frowned.
"What do you mean you win? I chose Rock and Rock is stronger then Paper." Wufei asked confused

"You got the rules straight now?"
"Yes."
"Rock beats?"
"Scissors?" Wufei asked.
"Good and Scissors beats?"
"Paper."
"Right and Paper?"
"Beats Rock."
"Good Ok."
"Rock, Paper, Scissors." Wufei chose Paper and Trowa took Scissors.
"You cheated."
"Wufei please this isn't poker you can't cheat."
"You cheat at poker?!" Wufei asked shocked.
"No, well only against rich snobs. I'm just a good tactical thinker so deal."
"Again!" Wufei cried.
"You know you're taking all the fun out of winning?"

Heero groaned as he sat up looking around his room. "Trowa?" He whispered glancing at the clock it was already 9:31.

"I don't get why you're going so ballistic? You can't master anything in less then half an hour." Wufei pounded a fist into the stairs a few inches from Trowa's right hand. "Hey?"
"Sorry." Wufei said looking down.
"No harm no foul.... did I really just say that?"
"Damn it you're starting to talk like him! What have I told you about spending too much time with Maxwell?" Duo smiled.
"Aw drop it Wu wu. We're teenagers remember? We just wanna have fun."
"I thought that was girls?" Trowa asked. Duo blinked down at him.
"That's a song Tro." Duo shook his head.
"Oh yeah. Hey Heero you feeling any better?" Heero nodded.
"Yes thank you." Heero answered wondering why he had not noticed Duo until he had spoken.
"It's not that hard to ask a question Heero." Heero nodded use to the way Trowa dismissed praise or thanks.
"I'll be in the gym." The three boys watched Wufei storm off muttering to himself. Heero sat down beside Trowa leaving enough space for people to still use the stairs.
"What were you two doing?" He asked eying the two remaining boys.
"Tro here was just teaching Wu Rock, Paper, Scissors. I came running when I heard Wu screaming. Tro's really good. I'm surprised you didn't notice the noise." Duo informed him grinning. Trowa shrugged grinning as well.
"Duo stop it you'll make me all Blushy." Duo laughed
"Aw I'm sure that would be kawii. What do you think Hee-chan?" Heero's eye twitched when Duo slipped his arms threw the railing and hugged Trowa's shoulders. "I see you learn the word of the week good boy. Thanks for the amusement kid" Trowa just laughed at him. "Well I'm gone Hil wants to go see this chick flick."
"Oh poor baby." Trowa teased. Duo ruffled Trowa's hair grinning.
"Just wait till your all grown up and you get yourself a women. They're great fun but sometimes they just have to do something girly." Hilde smiled as she walked up to the three boys. She was wearing a black mini skirt, a white halter-top, and a high pair of bitch boots. "And sometimes they make you say damn." Trowa rolled his eyes.
"Don't bother waiting up boys." She smiled slipping a violet nailed finger threw the golden loop on Duo's jacket's zipper. Duo waved as Hilde pulled him after her and out of the house.
"You and Duo seem to be getting along." Heero commented watching Trowa closely. Trowa shrugged.
"If you can't beat 'em join 'em as the saying goes." He answered softly.
"Trowa no baka." Heero muttered at the grinning youth.
"Perhaps." Trowa said shrugging again. Heero snapped his head to the side blinking at him.
"What did you just say?" Heero asked as his dreams started to creep out of his subconscious. Trowa arched an eyebrow at him.
"I only said perhaps? Are you sure you're alright?" Trowa asked giving him a confused look.
"Yes I'm still a little worn out don't worry about it." Trowa nodded as he rested his right arm on his propped up right leg.
"As you wish." Heero nodded in thanks as he examined the other boy. A pair of his preferred tight pale jeans had replaced the shorts he had been wearing earlier. The lose gray shirt had been replace with a lose teal tank top, which he wore untucked in contrast to Heero whose green one was always tucked in. ~He has nice arms to.~ Trowa sighed.
"Hey Heero?" Trowa asked not turning to look at him.
"Yeah?" Heero answered more then happy to studied Trowa's bang free profile.
"Do you remember what you said to me earlier?" His turned his eye to stare at him. "You were out of it so I'll understand if you don't" Heero blinked at him in a mix of confusion and fear. ~Oh Kami what did I.?~ "It was Japanese and sounded very pretty. Was it thank you or something?" Trowa asked curiously.
"Can you repeat it?" Heero asked while silently thanking whoever had made sure he had mumbled in his native language and not in English. Trowa frowned.
"It was Ai something." He closed his eyes lips moving silently. ~Ai?!~ " Aishiteru? Yeah that was it." Trowa smiled not looking at the pale Heero.
"Oh that's just an endearment. Sorry if it confused you." Heero explained bowing his head slightly. ~Well it is so I'm not lying just not telling the whole truth.~
"Feeling better Heero?" Quatre asked walking up to them. Heero blinked at him in surprise since he had not heard him approach.
"Yes. Thank you Quatre." Quatre smiled.
"Um.what are you two doing on the stairs? Do either of you know why Wufei is playing Rock, Paper, Scissors by himself?" Trowa chuckled at the confused blonde.
"That would be my fault Cat. He lost one too many times. Sorry." Quatre frowned at the grinning Trowa.
"Tell that to the practice dummy he keeps beating up on." Quatre shook his head at Trowa. "Have either of you seen Du.?"
"Date Cat." Trowa answered cutting the other boy off.
"Really how cute." Trowa rolled his eyes at the smiling Quatre.
"You are such a hopeless romantic Quatre." Trowa informed his partner. Quatre only giggled.
"You betchaya. Well I'll leave you two alone. Rasid needs me for something.." He frowned. "Now what was it?"
"Shoo Cat we'll be fine." Trowa teased flicking his wrist in a shooing motion. Quatre giggled at him.
"Oh well it's not that important. Bye." Quatre called running off. Heero shook his head in amusement
"So it's just the three of us now hun?" Heero nodded not sure where Trowa was going with that question. "So what do want to do tonight Pinky?"
"Hun?" Heero asked confused. "Pinky?" Trowa shook his head grinning.
"Duo's right you need to watch more TV." He informed Heero teasingly.
"And you need to watch less." Heero countered grinning back.
"Perhaps, you didn't answer my question yet?" Heero eyed Trowa wondering just what was going threw the other's secretive mind. Heero jumped when Trowa suddenly cursed. "Damn it!"
"What?!" Heero asked looking around.
"Can't think." Trowa admitted. Heero blinked at him.
"Ah..."
"Ah what He-chan?" Trowa asked using Duo's nickname for the other pilot.
"Oh sorry zoned there for a moment." Heero apologized rubbing the back of his head.
"Yeah I bet." Trowa teased standing
"Where are you going? Heero asked ignoring Trowa's teasing.
" To the lake." Trowa answered turning to look over his shoulder. "Care to join me? It's quite." Heero thought for moment about the offer. Did he trust himself alone with Trowa? Why didn't he dream last time? Trowa grinned at the frowning Heero. "Aw come on I don't bite?" ~How Duoish. Aw what the Hell.~"
"Sure. Some quite would be a nice change." He smiled when Trowa toke his hand and pulled him from the stairs. ~Soft just like in my dreams.~
