Since a few of you seem to want a 2x3 and 1x4 I've decided to give it a
try. I've never even written a fic with that paring but what the Hell you
only live once. Or so the saying goes.
Ok the scar. In the Episode Zero manga, which my bestest buddy Hiro Yui, now Dement Marik, has let me barrow many of times fills that in. I'm broke so I can't buy it. Like in many of my Gundam Wing fics it's good to know more then what you learned from the show, especially the dubbed. For those who never read Zero here's the deal. Trowa has a burn scar on his back from when he was a little, and I mean like 1-2, kid and his name was still Triton Bloom. Gotta love how the initials are still the same. It doesn't say exactly where it is just that it's on his back. I use it in various fics and it moves around depending on my mood or what's going on.
In the manga it also stated that Cathy, or Kathy as I spell it, knows about it but none of the pilots do. When did one of them ever see him shirtless hun? Of course in EW you get to see Trowa's back but no scar. I know I looked very, very, very hard. Not sure what's up with that. As for Wufei you'll just have to read to find out.

"So will Kathrine be coming here or are you going to pick her up?"
Trowa sighed. "She didn't say. What are you doing?"
Quatre looked up from the laptop. "Helping out Ms. Noin."
"Noin wanted to know that?"
"No that was me."
"Dose Noin even know you're doing this?"
"Yes we talked this morning. She was waiting for Zechs to get back and needed to kill some time. You feeling better?"
"Sure. Can I ask you something?"
"Always Trowa. Done." Quatre smiled shutting down the laptop before closing it and sliding it back to his partner. "Thanks. So what's bothering you?"
"I didn't say I was bothered."
"No, but your eyes are darker then normal and that means something is on your mind."
"Why is it when people see a scar on someone they're friends with they have to touch it then act like they did something wrong?"
"Well um.I guess it's because a scar is a symbol of pain and they touch it because they want to take the pain away."
"Then why pull away and apologize?"
"Scars are also very personal and intimate. People often feel uneasy about invading someone's personal space. Some people don't like to be touched in any sort of intimate way. Why?"
"Duo had the same reaction you did."
"Did it upset you?"
"No simply confused."
"Duo probably felt uneasy because you two aren't as close as we are."
"Why would that matter?"
"When two people are close they feel like they can be more open with each other. Where as more distant people feel they can't be as open. Do you understand?"
"I guess so. Kathy's never had any problems touching me. She didn't pull away from the scar either."
"She's family and a women so she can touch you in ways that males may feel uncomfortable with even it doesn't bother you."
"You only had problems with the scar?"
"Well I'm a empath the scar feels hot to me. Is that all that was on your mind?"
"Yes. Thank you."
"I'm just glad I could help. Hello Heero."
"Good morning you two. The other's not up?"
"Wufei is in the gardens he still seem troubled by something but he won't share and I won't pry. Duo is still sleep I guess but you know Duo."
"Very well Quatre in fact. So any news?" Heero asked sipping his coffee.
"No, why were you excepting something?"
"Not really Quatre just curious. Well I'll be in the dojo if you need me." Quatre sighed watching him go.
"Something the matter Quatre?"
"No just thinking. Do you know anything about Hilde?" Quatre asked standing
"No Duo called her."
"I have to go meet with Rasid I'll be back in a few hours. Oh yeah if anyone calls take a message ok? Could you ask Duo about Hilde for me? Thanks bye."
"I never knew Cat could talk that fast very one week." Trowa turned to look at Duo. Duo smiled at him from where he was leaning in the doorway arms crossed. "So what was all that about?" He asked walking up to the table.
"He wants to know something about Hilde and of course he didn't tell me what."
Duo chuckled as he turned a chair around and sat. "That's our little CEO. Ok she said she's coming. Should be here tomorrow and I'll take her shopping. That should cover everything."
"If not he can always ask you."
"Hey it's why I'm here. So is Wufei still down?"
"Quatre said he was. I didn't see him."
"Why you sleep in or something?"
"Yes actually. Is there something bothering Heero?"
"Hun?! Like what?"
"I'm not sure but he seems preoccupied lately."
"I'll fix him don't you worry your pretty little head "
"Ah-hun."
"What do you mean ah-hun? Are you implying I can't fix my own partner?"
"No I jus.."
"That's mean man. I may not be Cat but I can help people with their problems. Remember the nice talks we had?"
"Um.Duo?"
"What you jerk?"
"The ah-hun wasn't implying anything. It was simply a remark to the pretty little head thing."
Duo blinked. "Oh sorry I guess I'm not wake yet."
"It's alright." Duo eyed the dark green mug resting between Trowa's hands.
"You sure?"
"Yes Duo."
"Good." Duo commented snatching the mug. "This outta wake me up." He toke a sip. "Damn that's strong but effective." Trowa shook his head. "No really you could live off of this stuff."
"That I do not want to see."
"What don't you want to see?" Duo asked taking another sip.
"You with that much of a caffeine buzz." Trowa answered taking his mug back.
"You're right that would be scary. Wait a tick why aren't you high strung?"
"Caffeine doesn't affect me all that much."
"Cy babe nothing affects you very much, well other then blood loss." He grinned. "It's part of you charm."
"Charm?"
"Yeah. It's what people call the good things about people they like."
Trowa turned his head away sighing. "If you say so."
"I can't lie." Trowa turned to look at him. "It's true. Cat said you can't cry well I can't lie. Well I mean I could like you could cry but I never do."
"Is that one of your charms?"
"Hilde thinks so. Hey Cy you like Hilde right?"
"I hardly know her why?"
"Just curious. She feels bad about not being as helpful as she thinks she could be. If fact she's thinking of joining the Preventors. What do you think about that?"
"She'd fit in nicely."
"That and she can skip basic training. It'll be nice to see her again."
"You two get along very well so it's not surprising."
"She hated me at first all gun in my face very Hee-chan and now it's all good. Did you pull a gun on Cat when you two first meet?"
"No I simply charged him."
"Yeah you did that to Hee-chan to. Why did you go for him anyway?"
"He was in my way."
"How Ripley."
"Who?"
"The chick from Aliens. I need to get you guys to watch more TV. You and me horror movie marathon tonight?"
"I don't know."
Duo placed a hand on Trowa's wrist. "Aw come on it'll be fun and educational. Please? You don't want to have nightmares do you? You do don't you? You evil jerk." Duo teased.
Trowa laughed. "Ok, ok. Just calm down." He glanced down at Duo's hand.
"Cy I'm so lovin' you right now!"
"Ok."
"I'm going to go work off some of this extra energy see ya!" Duo called running off. Trowa watched him go before sighing softly fingers absently curling around his wrist.

"Hey Quatre. Did you go somewhere?"
"Hello Heero. Yes I did I went to see Rasid."
"Is everything alright?"
"Yes, he and the other's are just fine. You look like you had fun."
Heero smiled. "That I did. Quatre may I ask you something?"
"I seem to be very popular today. Go ahead." Quatre prompted sitting down on the nearby stone bench. Heero moved to sit down beside him looking nervous. "Whatever it is I can help." Quatre assured his friend placing gentle hands on his bare arm.
"Have you been confused when it comes to how you feel about someone?"
"Yes, a few times actually. Is that what's wrong?"
Heero nodded. "Yeah. I'm very close to the person and they are close to me but I'm not sure how they feel about me. On top of that I think they may have deeper feelings for another."
"Why is that Heero?"
"Well said person is very giving and compassionate and is very dear to their friends."
"They sound wonderful. You're afraid what you think might be love may not be the same kind of love you feel for them?"
"Yes. That and maybe what I think is love between them and the other may simply just be close friendship." Heero sighed head in hands. "I'm so confused." Quatre gently pulled Heero to him. "Quatre?!"
"Shh.Heero it's alright. Everyone is confused by love it must be some much worst for you."
"Why say that?"
"You were taught such self control it must be so hard to feel something you cannot control."
Heero lifted his head from Quatre's white button down. "Did your gifts tell you that?"
"No, I can tell. Trowa struggles just as you do the only difference is he never knew emotions as you did. They confuse him but he coups with it just as you do."
"He's lucky to have someone like you to lean on."
"You have me to Heero. You helped me threw the aftermath of the Zero incident so let me help you threw this? I'll help you any way I can just let me?" Quatre pleaded gentle eyes shimmering with uncried tears.
"Oh Quatre." Heero whispered pulling Quatre to him. "Oh please don't cry? You're supposed to be comforting me."
Quatre sniffed as he dug his fingers into Heero lose tank top. "We can comfort each other Heero." Heero tighten his grip slightly not wanting to snap the fragile looking youth in his arms. "May I ask who you spoke of with such longing in your voice?"
