Flowers From the Heart
Part 3
By: Maria
Dedication: This is going out to my great e-buds who support me lots: Misty and Ray-Chan.
It was midnight and Trowa sat on the window seat in his room staring at the moon. His face showed no emotions, his eyes distant and empty. "Quatre...do you really hate me." Trowa whispered to the moon. "You blame me as well. I'm not a friend or your love any more am I?" Trowa felt something wet on his cheek and touched. "A tear?"
Trowa stood up and decided to go and see Quatre. The blonds room was right next door to his own, so he didn't have to go far. Trowa stood outside the door, staring blankly at it. 'Should I enter?' he thought after standing there for a while. Seeing no reason to stand there all night he opened the door and slowly walked in. He stood with his back to the door, taking everything in, the little coffee table on the right side with a big armchair to accompany it, the twin lamps, and the four-post bed with his sweet Quatre sleeping peacefully. Trowa's eyes stopped and looked at the dark figure sleeping soundly. Daring to get closer, Trowa walked to the bed.
Quatre looked so peacefully and innocent, a ray of light sent to bring light to all the darkness around him. "He seems to glow with pure light." Trowa sighed. Trowa got on his knees and gently stroked Quatre's face, and then lowered his head and kissed Quatre's forehead. Quatre frowned and tears streamed out of his eyes as he whispered "Trowa how could you?"
Trowa stared shocked and full of sadness; he moved his hand away, stood and left the room. Once outside Quatre's room Trowa leaned himself against the door. 'He does blame me' Was his thoughts as he entered his own room and got in bed. Sleep not coming for another two hours.
~~~~~~~~Kitchen Next Morning~~~~~~~~
"Duo, could you pass me some of that ketchup?" Wu Fei asked the slobbering boy. "And give us some justice and clean your face."
"Sheeeeeesh! That's soooo rude! I don't think I should pass you anything." Duo said holding the bottle in his hand. Before Wu Fei could argue a word, Heero took the bottle away from Duo and gave it to the Chinese boy. "Hey! Heero, you're supposed to be on my side here! Why'd you do that?"
"Because...it's true. You look gross with food every where on your face."
"That's not my fault! I was starving and..."
"Stuffing as much food as you can isn't going to help. You'll choke for one thing." Wu Fei scolded him. "Be civilized."
Quatre walked over to the table with a bowel of scrambled eggs and some muffins. He grins at the three.
"Maybe we can teach Duo proper table manners."
"Nah, I can eat...'civilized'." He started eating slowly.
Heero was about to make a comment about Trowa's where abouts when Trowa walked in. One look at his face and you could see the slight bags under his eyes. He continued standing by the doorway.
"Hey Trowa! Come, sit, eat." Duo said cheerfully, seeing the tired expression.
Trowa shook his head, "No, I'm going out for a while." he said looking at the wall across from him. Seeing that no one was protesting he turned to leave.
"Wait! It's not healthy to miss a meal! Isn't that right Quatre?" Duo said knowing the tall boy wanted Quatre to tell him to stay.
Quatre looked at Duo and then at Trowa's back.
"Duo it isn't smart to miss a meal but if Trowa wants to go out let him. I'm sure he can eat breakfast when he gets back."
Duo stared shocked at Quatre. 'Why doesn't he try to keep Trowa here?!? Is he still upset? Did they have a fight?' Heero and Wu Fei also looked a bit startled that Quatre didn't complain about him leaving without eating. The three turn to look at Trowa and see his shoulders fall. He walked off to the door. All four heard it open and then close. Heero, Duo, and Wu Fei turned to look at the Arabian. Quatre stared down at his own breakfast.
Duo stood up, shaking the table, "I'm going with Trowa!" he said sounding a bit angry. He ran out the room and the door.
"I have lots to do. I need to call up some flower shops, so if you guys need me I'll be in the study." Quatre sighed, got up and left.
"It seems like those two aren't on good terms with each other." Wu Fei said.
"Hn."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Outside House Grounds~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Trowa! Wait up man!" Trowa looks back at Duo.
"What do you want Duo? I want to be a lone." Duo smiled.
"Come on, being a lone isn't very fun. I just want to talk with you. You look like you need someone to talk to." Duo said throwing an arm around Trowa's shoulders.
Trowa gave him an icy glare but Duo kept on smiling.
"*sigh* Go ahead and talk." Duo removed his arm and stuck his hands in his pockets.
"So...how'd you sleep last night?? You look...worn out."
"Hmm...I slept just fine." Trowa said staring straight ahead.
"Why didn't you want any breakfast?" Duo knew Trowa was lying and keeping his feelings and thoughts to himself.
"Not hungry."
"How'd you do when apologizing to Quatre?"
Trowa was silent for a long moment. "Fine."
"Man Trowa! Open up here! I'm trying to help you out but you need to talk and tell e the truth. It's not like I'm going to judge you or laugh at you.*he grabs Trowa's shoulders* You're my friend. Talk to me."
Trowa was surprise Duo thought him as a friend. 'I thought Quatre had been my only friend. He seemed to be the only one the to care about me. Duo, Heero, and Wu Fei appeared more like comrades of was. I was wrong about Duo. Could I be wrong about the others as well? Duo's...my friend.'
Trowa was about to smile when he got himself in check. "Ok, Duo. Let's talk." Trowa walked over to a tree and sat down. Duo was a bit shocked Trowa had agreed. 'Heero would have ignored me.' Duo sits down in front of Trowa.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Study~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quatre just hung up with another florist shop. He's called four shops but they didn't have lilies. He's manage to a shop to buy all the other types of flowers he had the garden but the lilies. Quatre laid his head on his desk.
'Where am I going to find some lilies. *sigh* I'm running out of shops. If I special order some...but they'll take to long to get here.'
There was a soft knock on the door. "Quatre you in there? May I come in?"
It was Wu Fei, Quatre sat up. "Yes, come in Wu Fei."
"How are you feeling Quatre?" Wu Fei watched Quatre carefully.
"I'm fine. Just trying to get the garden fixed up again. It's not going tp well.*sigh*" Quatre looked at Wu Fei. "How are you Wu Fei?"
Wu Fei sat down on one of the armchairs and cleared his throat.
"What is it that's on your mind Wu Fei?" Quatre said sensing his upset state.
"I'm worried about how things are going for you and Trowa. I was sure you two would make up yesterday after he apologized to you. You seem more distant then I've ever seen the two of you. Maybe it's not my business but I hate to see my friends upset. You're not the type to hold a grudge against someone...so please tell me what's going on between the two of you?"
Quatre looked at his hands. "Well I...I don't...can't trust Trowa. No matter what I try I still can't seem to be able to trust him or his feelings for me. That whole thing in the garden looked like he did it on purpose to me. He told me he didn't care about flowers. I adore having my garden and I know it's something you like yourself. So what am I to do? I'm all mixed up..."
"Quatre...you love Trowa...don't you?" Wu Fei asked.
"Yes...I love him." Quatre said weakly.
"You've been with Trowa for a while now so you should know how he feels about you right? And he loves you too, right?"
"Yes, he does love me...as far as I know."
"Then you should believe in him and know that he'd never want to do anything harmful to the one he loves!"
Quatre nodded but didn't look up at Wu Fei. Wu Fei knew Quatre was going to have to figure things out on his own for him to feel better and trust Trowa again. Wu Fei Stood up.
"I have some things to do...so I'll let you go back to your work. If you want to talk I'm here for you Quatre." Wu Fei walked out of the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Outside~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duo sat in front of Trowa listening to him tell Duo about Quatre's reaction to him go near his garden yesterday.
"He didn't want me anywhere near him or his garden. I just wanted to help him out with the replanting when he freaked out on me. I think I've lost him...maybe I should just leave this place. It would make him happier..."
"That's a bunch of bull! And you know it! Quatre would never want to be without you." Duo screamed.
"You didn't see what happened last night." Trowa said with a depressed glance at the sky. "I wanted to go in and see him, and when I touched his face and kissed his forehead he started crying and said he blamed me for the destruction of his garden."
"Trowa...he couldn't have said he blamed you! He was asleep...he didn't know you were there or what he was saying! Probably having a bad dream." Duo said giving Trowa a worried look.
"Maybe, but it was probably was his unconscious thoughts that were coming out in his dreams."
Duo sat there thinking of some way to cheer up poor Trowa. He hated seeing Trowa looking so depressed and lost.
"I've got it, Trowa! Why don't you get Quatre some kind of gift? Something to cheer him right up and see you didn't mean anything." Duo said cheerfully.
"A gift won't do anything..."
"Stop being so negative. Maybe if you buy something for his garden will show how much you do love him and feel bad for letting the mower run over his flowers! Buy him more flowers!" Duo smiled.
"I think you've got something!" Trowa got excited. "I could buy some flowers and then plant them for Quatre. It will show him that I don't hate flowers or him!"
"Yeah! I'll help ya out too Trowa!" Duo stood up and offered a hand to Trowa. Trowa accepted the offered hand.
"I want to do this on my own Duo. But I will let you help me with some things...let's keep this between us two please."
"No problem man! What do you want me to do first?" Duo asked eagerly.
"Well find out kind of flowers were in the garden before the mower destroyed them all. So we can go and buy them and I can plant them in the new garden for Quatre. As soon as I have the flowers I'm gonna have to think of a time to plant them all, especially since Quatre doesn't want me near his garden." Trowa looked thoughtful.
"Hey you can leave that part to me! I could plan something out so I can get him out of the house long enough for you to plant everything and set the surprise for him!"
Trowa smiled and placed a hand on Duo's shoulders. "Thanks Duo. I owe you one."
"Nah. Forget about it. Let's get home now." Trowa nods and they walk back to the house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~In the Living room~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heero sat on the couch with his laptop next to him. He was a bit jealous that Duo was still out there somewhere with Trowa. He would expected the boy to have come back right away seeing that Trowa was never one to talk.
'Maybe they have gotten really close...Is it possible that Duo is in love with Trowa? What do you expect him to do, wait the rest of his life for you!' Heero closed his eyes and tried to push the thought of Trowa and Duo an item out of his head.
The door opens and Heero's eyes fly open.
"Yeah. We were out there longer than we thought. Hey why don't we go and play with basket ball. Having your own basket ball hoop is a very good thing." Duo smiled.
Heero stood up and looked at Duo and Trowa. Duo kept smiling and not noticing Heero, while Trowa looked over at Heero. Heero glared harder then usual. Duo finally looked over at Heero.
"Hey Heero. What's eating you? You look like you want to kill someone." Duo smiled at him.
"I'm going to eat something Duo. So if you still want we can play after I'm done." Trowa said walking towards the kitchen.
"Right." Duo walks over to a comfy chair across from Heero and looks at him. "So what's wrong, Heero?"
"Where have you been?"
"Huh!?" Duo sat up. "What's wrong with you? I've been with Trowa."
"Doing what?"
Duo couldn't believe Heero was questioning him on what was none of his business. 'He's acting like some over protective mother! And like he's jealous!' "I don't see why what we were doing is any of your concern. Since when have you been interested in what I do?"
Heero growled and glared at Duo. "Just answer the question."
"Heero, I don't have to take orders from you about my personal life, maybe when we're out on the battlefield but not when it has to do with my life. So I think I'll just go to my room." Duo got up and made his way out the living room, when Heero grabbed his arm rather roughly. "Ouch! What the...Heero let me go!"
"Not till you tell me what you were doing with Trowa." Heero looked at him dead serious.
"You're hurting my hand Heero." Duo frowned getting really upset. "Let me go. I don't want to hit you Heero."
Heero could see he was scary and hurting Duo deeply so he let Duo go and backed off. "Sorry..."
Duo looked at Heero cautiously. "What's the matter Heero? Why are you so upset?"
"I'm not upset." He said walking back to the couch and sitting down. Duo knew something was wrong, so he walked over to the couch and sat down next to Heero. He placed a hand gently on his shoulder.
"Heero...tell me what it is." he said softly. Heero looks at Duo.
"Duo..." Heero hesitated not sure what to say.
"What is it?"
Heero didn't know what to say so he quickly leaned towards Duo and kissed him roughly on the lips. Duo panicked and started struggling to get away, but Heero only grabbed a hold of him and wouldn't let go.
'What is he doing! He's not letting me go!' Duo tryed pushing Heero off. 'Does this mean he cares for me like I've always hoped?'
Duo starts melting into the kiss and Heero stops being so rough with him. The kiss was absolute heaven to both of them, and would have gone further if not for the interruption.
"*clears throat* Excuse me...sorry for coming in at a bad time." Wu Fei said as Heero and Duo look up at him. "Do either of you know where Trowa is at?"
Duo and Heero were blushing, Duo more than Heero.
"Umm...yeah he said he was gonna go and eat something." Duo said moving away from Heero, who was glaring very hard at Wu Fei.
"Thanks excuse me." Wu Fei made his way to the kitchen. 'Well that was a total surprise...never expected to see them get together.'
"Umm...I...I think I'm gonna go upstairs to my room. I'll see ya later Heero." Duo got up and left. Heero sat there watching him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kitchen~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trowa was sitting at the table with a sandwich and a glass of orange juice sitting in front of him. 'I have to think of a perfectly planned out plan for getting Quatre's garden in order before I start anything. There can be no errors! I need Duo to get the list of all the flowers that were Quatre's garden for me and then we can go out and buy them bring them back. Hold them till all the flowers have been bought and until Duo takes Quatre out of the house long enough for me to set the whole garden up for him. I can see his happy face...so full of love and glee...*sigh*' Trowa smiled.
"Trowa I want to talk to you." Wu Fei said as he entered the kitchen and saw Trowa.
"What is it Wu Fei? Are you going to yell at me for Quatre and mine behavior this morning? I'm sorry but I apologized and he forgave me but I think he's still very hurt... and I can't do anything at the moment about it."
"Well that's not what I wanted to say...I wanted to ask you why you dislike flowers??" Wu Fei asked seriously.
"You were talking to Quatre about it weren't you? I don't dislike them I just don't have this love and admiration for them like he does. I tried to understand why he liked them so by going outside and mowing the lawn but..." Trowa stopped when Wu Fei started laughing. Trowa glared.
"Haa haa..I'm sorry...Haa haa ha...Trowa. It's just well...if you wanted to get a feel for how he feels about flowers you should have offered to work with him in the garden not mow the lawn. They're two different things you know...gardening is more peaceful and relaxing while mowing takes lots of hard work."
"You seem to know a lot about gardening Wu Fei."
Wu Fei's face turned serious. "Yes, well I use to have a beautiful garden where I use to sit and read. A place where someone I cared for paid with her life to protect it for me...." Wu Fei looked pale.
"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to bring painful memories back to you, Wu Fei." Trowa said truly sorry for cause his friend pain.
"They aren't painful. I love to go back and think about those I cared about. About my garden...my colony...and people. I had told Quatre about my garden and what it meant to me...so he went and started one of his own one day. He also dedicated it to me and Meiran, so all his mansions have a garden in them. He sees how valuable they can be to a person."
"I see...so that is why he loves the flowers and works so hard in with them...and I destroyed something that meant very much to the both of you...I'm sorry Wu Fei."
"Hey don't worry about me. You need to do something to make Quatre feel better." Wu Fei walked to the door. "Maybe you too will learn how valuable something so small can be to a person."
Wu Fei walked out the kitchen. 'Wu Fei's right. I need to start my plan. I have to go talk to Duo.' Trowa got up and left the kitchen.
To Be Continued
Wasn't that cute! Will Duo and Trowa be able to get the plan into motion? What will they do when they find out Quatre can't find any lilies? What about Heero and Duo?? ^_^

'Where am I going to find some lilies. *sigh* I'm running out of shops. If I special order some...but they'll take to long to get here.'
There was a soft knock on the door. "Quatre you in there? May I come in?"
It was Wu Fei, Quatre sat up. "Yes, come in Wu Fei."
"How are you feeling Quatre?" Wu Fei watched Quatre carefully.
"I'm fine. Just trying to get the garden fixed up again. It's not going tp well.*sigh*" Quatre looked at Wu Fei. "How are you Wu Fei?"

"I'm not upset." He said walking back to the couch and sitting down. Duo knew something was wrong, so he walked over to the couch and sat down next to Heero. He placed a hand gently on his shoulder.
"Heero...tell me what it is." he said softly. Heero looks at Duo.
"Duo..." Heero hesitated not sure what to say.
"What is it?"
Heero didn't know what to say so he quickly leaned towards Duo and kissed him roughly on the lips. Duo panicked and started struggling to get away, but Heero only grabbed a hold of him and wouldn't let go.
'What is he doing! He's not letting me go!' Duo tryed pushing Heero off. 'Does this mean he cares for me like I've always hoped?'
Duo starts melting into the kiss and Heero stops being so rough with him. The kiss was absolute heaven to both of them, and would have gone further if not for the interruption.
"*clears throat* Excuse me...sorry for coming in at a bad time." Wu Fei said as Heero and Duo look up at him. "Do either of you know where Trowa is at?"
Duo and Heero were blushing, Duo more than Heero.
"Umm...yeah he said he was gonna go and eat something." Duo said moving away from Heero, who was glaring very hard at Wu Fei.
"Thanks excuse me." Wu Fei made his way to the kitchen. 'Well that was a total surprise...never expected to see them get together.'
"Umm...I...I think I'm gonna go upstairs to my room. I'll see ya later Heero." Duo got up and left. Heero sat there watching him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kitchen~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trowa was sitting at the table with a sandwich and a glass of orange juice sitting in front of him. 'I have to think of a perfectly planned out plan for getting Quatre's garden in order before I start anything. There can be no errors! I need Duo to get the list of all the flowers that were Quatre's garden for me and then we can go out and buy them bring them back. Hold them till all the flowers have been bought and until Duo takes Quatre out of the house long enough for me to set the whole garden up for him. I can see his happy face...so full of love and glee...*sigh*' Trowa smiled.
"Trowa I want to talk to you." Wu Fei said as he entered the kitchen and saw Trowa.
"What is it Wu Fei? Are you going to yell at me for Quatre and mine behavior this morning? I'm sorry but I apologized and he forgave me but I think he's still very hurt... and I can't do anything at the moment about it."
"Well that's not what I wanted to say...I wanted to ask you why you dislike flowers??" Wu Fei asked seriously.
"You were talking to Quatre about it weren't you? I don't dislike them I just don't have this love and admiration for them like he does. I tried to understand why he liked them so by going outside and mowing the lawn but..." Trowa stopped when Wu Fei started laughing. Trowa glared.
"Haa haa..I'm sorry...Haa haa ha...Trowa. It's just well...if you wanted to get a feel for how he feels about flowers you should have offered to work with him in the garden not mow the lawn. They're two different things you know...gardening is more peaceful and relaxing while mowing takes lots of hard work."
"You seem to know a lot about gardening Wu Fei."
Wu Fei's face turned serious. "Yes, well I use to have a beautiful garden where I use to sit and read. A place where someone I cared for paid with her life to protect it for me...." Wu Fei looked pale.
"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to bring painful memories back to you, Wu Fei." Trowa said truly sorry for cause his friend pain.
"They aren't painful. I love to go back and think about those I cared about. About my garden...my colony...and people. I had told Quatre about my garden and what it meant to me...so he went and started one of his own one day. He also dedicated it to me and Meiran, so all his mansions have a garden in them. He sees how valuable they can be to a person."
"I see...so that is why he loves the flowers and works so hard in with them...and I destroyed something that meant very much to the both of you...I'm sorry Wu Fei."
"Hey don't worry about me. You need to do something to make Quatre feel better." Wu Fei walked to the door. "Maybe you too will learn how valuable something so small can be to a person."
Wu Fei walked out the kitchen. 'Wu Fei's right. I need to start my plan. I have to go talk to Duo.' Trowa got up and left the kitchen.
To Be Continued
Wasn't that cute! Will Duo and Trowa be able to get the plan into motion? What will they do when they find out Quatre can't find any lilies? What about Heero and Duo?? ^_^
