Tell Me You Love Me [UTB - Violet Tears]

Talk about lucky. An update on 6/29 and now an update on 7/7! Well, I dedicate this chapter to Samantha for helping me come up with the idea for this chapter and possibly the next. Without her help, you wouldn't be getting another update for whoever knows how long! ^_^

TISSUE WARNING! TISSUE WARNING! TISSUE WARNING!

~~~*~~~

Duo signed and peered at Heero out of the corner of his amethyst eyes, setting his hands on his hips. "Are you sure you're gonna go on the mission?"

Heero looked up at 02 from his packing. So far, he had finished getting his things ready, and as now preparing a sack of necessary equipment for Duo, since he had a feeling the braided American might forget something vital while running around telling everyone else to prepare for the upcoming mission. "What makes you think I'd stay home, Duo?"

"Well, the fact that you caught my cold."

"A cold can't stop me." smirked Heero.

Duo rolled his eyes. "Should'a guessed- the Perfect Soldier won't take note of his health until the mission is completed."

.

WuFei sat off to the site, away from Quatre and Trowa. He held back a sigh. Everywhere he looked, there was a couple: Heero and Duo, Trowa and Quatre, but no 'WuFei-and-someone'. And he knew he wouldn't find anyone. There was one person he had loved, and who loved him. But she was long since dead. 'Merian.' Yes, the dark haired, energetic, smiling girl he had once loved so much now resided somewhere in heaven. WuFei paused in his thinking when he felt Quatre's concered gaze fall on him; he shifted uncomfortably and stared down at the floor, glaring at the beige carpeting as if doing so would force the carpeting to answer him, and tell him how to find love.

Thick silence soon took over the room as the silent clown, the empath, and the dragon warrior's thoughts sped off in different directions. 'Why must I always be so alone?'

The sound of Heero and Duo coming downstairs jerked the trio back to reality. "Mm'kay guys," Duo said, "Let's get this over with soon, so we can get home quicker."

'Yeah,' WuFei agreed silently, 'Two couples and one loner.' He gathered his small bag of equipment in timing with everyone else. Quatre glanced worriedly at WuFei as the five pilots left the security of the safehouse.

* * *

They reached the base in a short amount of time, and during those fifteen to twenty minutes, WuFei trailed behind the others just enough to not lose sight of them, but far back enough so his thoughts wouldn't focus entirely on how alone he was. The five boys all started off in one loose group, and stayed in the said group until Duo saw a suspicious looking room not far off course from where they intended on going in the first place, and quietly dragged the others into the room for investigating. And that's when the trouble started.

As WuFei entered the room after Quatre and Trowa, the heavy metal door slammed shut, thus locking them in. Quatre was the first to notice a strange smelling gas seeping into the room from the small gap between the bottom of the door and the floor tiled with linoleum. Heero glared.

"That's knockout gas." said 01. WuFei spotted another door on the other side of the room, right behind Trowa, WuFei, and Heero.

Immediately everyone drew their shirts up to cover their mouths and noses. WuFei and Heero reached for their guns. The two Asian boys looked at eachother and nodded, before Heero shot out the lock out of the door behind him, and WuFei sent a bullet through the nails of a grating on the floor. Heero pried the door open while WuFei pulled at the grating, both with one hand. Duo coughed and pulled his shirt tighter around his nose and mouth. A clashing sound was heard as Heero finally jerked the door open and the doorknob fell to the floor. Duo took a breath, and let go of his shirt before grabbing Heero and Trowa's hands, and pulling them from the room. But as they escaped the prison-like room, the door slammed behind them, trapping WuFei and Quatre.

.

Trowa and Heero stumbled outside of the closed in room after Duo. 02 bent over and caught his breath, pulling his gun from his pocket just in case. He heard Trowa step towards the door slowly, and pause. Before Heero or Duo could register what was going on, Trowa was trying to pull the door open, grunting as he tugged and pulled. "Tro, what're ya doin'?!"

"Quatre is still in there." 03 replied, glaring at the door and yanking at it harsher.

Heero grabbed Trowa's wrist and pulled him back. "We have to continue the mission. They'll get out."

Trowa glanced sharply at Heero and started trying to wrestle free. "Let me do as I wish." He couldn't just leave Quatre there!

"Tro, we gotta get away from here before that stuff seeps out here," Duo pressed.

"Duo..." Trowa said under his breath. "I am not leaving him there."

.

Quatre listened to Trowa's voice outside the door. "Trowa! Listen to me! Get out of here, leave me behind! We'll get out somehow!"

Trowa jerked around from facing Duo and pressed his ear to the metal of the door. "Quatre?"

"Trowa, get out of here! WuFei and I will get out one way or another, but don't put yourself in danger! Please, Trowa!" An idea came to Quatre's mind. "Do it for me!"

"Quatre... I'm not going to--"

"Trowa listen to me! Please, I'm begging you, go with Duo and Heero!"

"Trowa," Heero said. "Listen to him."

Quatre's voice came through the door again. "Please, Trowa."

The tall pilot of Heavyarms sighed. "...Alright..." Reluctantly, he followed Duo and Heero as they started searching for any weapons the enemy possibly had. He found himself pausing and staring at the closed metal door which held his angel still, before turning and catching up to 01 and 02.

.

"KISAMA!" WuFei exclaimed under his breath, pulling at the grating with all his strength. Something light hit the floor, and 05 paused for a moment to see he had gotted one of the screws loose. He turned around for a moment to see Quatre starting to weaken at the knees, aqua eyes staring at the floor dazedly. 05 turned back to the grating and gave an almighty tug, before the grating reluctantly popped off. "Winner, come on." WuFei stood and grabbed Quatre's wrist, dragging him to the open vent. He nearly shoved Quatre down the vent before hopping in himself, and closely following the blonde infront of him. "Keep going until you see light. It should be easier to breathe fresh air now."

Quatre nodded and continued crawling through the vent, his vision clearing as he breathed in fresh air. Left, right, left, right... Aha! He squinted slightly as light reached his eyes. Pushing upwards on another grating, he grunted and, with the suddenly added help of WuFei, managed to push the grating off. He pulled himself from the vent and onto solid ground. Solit dirt-covered ground, to be precise. He reached down into the vent and helped WuFei pull himself up.

.

"Now we've got to find the others," Quatre said to WuFei as the Chinese pilot dusted himself off.

"The question is whether we split up or stay together."

Quatre looked around their current settings. They were situated on a cliff, surrounded by large boulders, which the slightest upsetment could bring down. "I think we should stay together..."

A moment of silence passed, and would have continued in silence if WuFei wouldn't have suddenly shouted Quatre's name and jumped infront of him, taking a bullet to the upper chest and falling backwards. The bullet was shot from the gun of an OZ soldier who had seem them escape. And that OZ soldier wasn't going to let Quatre get away unharmed.

.

But before the soldier could report anything, Quatre had a gun pointed to his face with shaky hands. "D-don't come any closer." 04 didn't give the soldier a chance to reply as he pulled the trigger, murmuring a soft "I'm sorry," to the man as the life was taken from him as the bullet peirced through his heart. Quatre dropped the gun and knelt down beside WuFei.

.

"WUFEI!" he gathered the bleeding 05 in his arms and held him in a sitting position. "Wu...Fei? Wake up! Don't die, please WuFei!" Quatre felt tears brimming his eyes. The wound in 05's chest was nearly pouring blood.

WuFei groaned and forced his obsidian eyes open. "Quatre." he smiled faintly.

"Why did you do that? Why did you save me, WuFei?" a single tear fell from Quatre's eyes and landed on WuFei's wound. The Chinese cringed and graped at the bloody mess of a wound on his chest.

"You have love in your life... I don't... You must live...and have that love, Quatre..." WuFei drew in a slow, unsteady breath.

Quatre shook WuFei's shoulders slightly. "Please! Don't leave, WuFei!" More tears from Quatre's pained aqua eyes fell down his paled cheeks. "I'll get you to somewhere you can get help, you can't die WuFei! Ple--" Quatre paused in his pleas as an explosion went off somewhere in the distance; undoubtedly Heero, Duo, and Trowa had found weapons made by the enemy and had destroyed them. But that in itself was a problem, because that explosion was just enough to send countless heavy rocks tumbling down on the two. "WuFei, we've got to get out of here! Please, I won't let you stay here!" 04 used his body as a shield to protect WuFei from as many of the rocks as he could. He hugged WuFei close to him like a brother.

Summoning up as much of his strength as he could spare, WuFei shook his head and rolled out of Quatre's arms and onto his side. "Y-you get out of here... I'm done for, Win-" he coughed, and shook his head. "...Quatre... You must go! It is injustice if you don't!"

Frantically, Quatre shook his head, bloodied locks of gold falling infront of his eyes. "Please! Let me help you! I can't leave you here, I just can't!" he unconciously kicked his fallen gun within reach of WuFei's hand.

WuFei saw an oppurtinity in this and grabbed the gun, holding it to Quatre's face with all his remaining strength. "I'll shoot myself if you don't go, Quatre! I--" another cough shook WuFei's body. He could feel his life be sapped with every passing second, it was a miracle he survived this long. "I won't...let you...die."

Quatre froze, staring at the barrel of the gun WuFei was holding right infront of his teary aqua eyes. "I won't let you die either, WuFei." he said softly. He knew time was running out...

"I hope you know how much I respect you, Quatre. I never told you before, but now is my last chance. Tell the others... I say goodbye..."

Quatre's already pale face turned ghost white. "WUFEI!"

"GO!" WuFei coughed, blood splattering on the earth this time.

And then he was silent.

"Oh my God... WUFEI!" Quatre fell to his knees and grabbed his gun through teary vision. He had to get out of here and find the others; maybe they could help WuFei? He couldn't just leave him there to die, but he couldn't help him on his own. He needed Duo, and Trowa, and Heero's help. Run. He had to run. So that's what he did. Ran, and ran, and ran, until he collided blindly with a certian green-eyed pilot of Heavyarms.

.

"Quatre?" Trowa gasped, staring at the dessheveled blonde infront of him, tears flying down his face and blood matted in his hair. He quickly kneeled down beside his angel and pulled him into his arms. Quatre turned and sobbed into the crook of Trowa's neck.

"H-he's g-gone..."

Duo looked at Heero. Fear filled his heart. "Oh shit."

I'M SORRY FEI! I'M SO SORRY!
