Flowers From the Heart

Part 7

By: Maria

Trowa stood by the car waiting on Duo's return from inside the final flower shop in town. 'This is the last place to look for the remaining four flowers. If they aren't here...well I suppose it will be left up to Heero to find them. *sighs*' Trowa leans his head on the steering wheel of the car. 'Things have to work out...Quatre and me can't be over can it be? I won't allow it! Duo and Heero are helping me work things out! I can't let all their hard work go to waste.'

Duo bounces out of the flower shop and gets into the car. "Sorry Trowa! Just had to wait for the guy to finish with a customer then for him to go check out his supplies and all. Sheesh...I didn't think I'd be coming out for a lot longer. But anyways, the shop only carried one of the four flowers we've been seeking. So looks like Heero's got some work to do now."

Trowa smiles up at Duo and nods silently. He turned on the car and puts in on drive. Duo watched the scenery pass by.

'Trowa's pretty quiet...hope he hasn't lost hope or anything.' Duo turns to look at Trowa. "Hey, you alright Trowa? You're really quiet you know! *grins* "

Trowa glances over at Duo quickly. "No things are alright. I'm just hoping that things will working out."

Duo pats Trowa on the shoulder. "Don't worry buddy things will be all set real soon for us! No sweat! Heero's the best...he'll find these flowers we'll get them ordered and brought here and then I'll take care of Quatre, while you plant the flowers!! So cheer up!"

Trowa smiles. "I know that you're right. There's just a lot to do. I should start to work on this project but if Quatre sees me in the garden it will only lead to doubt in him. I suppose the best I can hope for is for him to get the ground set up for the flowers for me and by the time we have all the flowers it will be easier to plant the flowers."

Duo sits back. "I tell you it's smooth sailing from here on in Trowa."

Trowa grins. "Don't be so sure Duo."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quatre had fallen asleep on Trowa's bed. He sat up and rubbed his eyes as he heard a car pulling up the drive way and the front door being shut. 'Who's here...' He still looks really drowsy. Quatre stands up and looks around. He notices Trowa's clothes and other belongings around the room. 'I'm not in my room...I forgot. I can't let Trowa catch me in here.'

Quatre makes a dash for the door and grabs a hold of the door knob when the door is opened and Trowa walks in. Trowa's eyes widen.

'Oh no...too late...now what do I do...' Quatre's mind was racing and his heart pounding.

"Quatre? Is there...something you needed??" Trowa said calmly watching Quatre, as he walks in his room looking around.

'He thinks...I came in here to snoop around doesn't he! He has lost all faith in me...' Quatre hangs his head slightly. 'More problems to add to this mess...'

Trowa puts down a bag he had carried in and looks at Quatre's face. "You alright Quatre?? You look...upset..."

Quatre looks at him and straightens. "I'm doing fine Trowa. I'm just really tired. I thought you're room was my own and ended up falling asleep here. I am sorry for bothering you and your room."

Trowa keeps watching Quatre. "It's alright...you can sleep in here when ever you want and I'm not in here Quatre." He turns away from Quatre and dumps out what was in the bag.

'He doesn't want me near him...I can use his room as long as he's not around...'Quatre walks out of the room and goes to his room to sleep away his troubles.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Heero! Here are the flowers we couldn't find! *grins* You think you can find them for us?" Duo hands the list to Heero.

"Of course I can." Heero looks over the list. "It'll take very little time for me to find the flowers...this is nothing compared to what I've done before." Heero turns to his laptop and types away. "Just don't disturb me please."

"You got it Heero! I'll go get some food. I'm hungry!" Duo runs off.

Heero focuses on all the information that is coming up on the screen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trowa puts all the things he bought away and then decides to go outside and enjoy some of the fresh air. He closes the door to his room and notices Heero's door open. Trowa peers inside and sees that Heero has already gone to work on finding the flowers they were looking for. He sighs and walks down stairs and out to the back yard. He sits down under one of the trees and closes his eyes.

Wu Fei opens his eyes and see Trowa has come outside and is a few feet away from him. 'I don't think he's realize I was sitting out here and close by...' Wu Fei stood up and walked over to Trowa. Trowa's eyes quickly opens his eyes and stare at Wu Fei.

"Do you mind if I sit next to you Trowa?" Wu Fei asks.

"Be my guest." Trowa replied closing his eyes once again.

Wu Fei sits down and stares out at the horizon. "How are things going Trowa?" Wu Fei asks not breaking his stare at the horizon.

Trowa opens his eyes and focuses his vision on the grass in front of him.

"Everything is fine. Why do you ask, Wu Fei?"

Wu Fei turns to face Trowa. "Well...I haven't seen you and Quatre together yet. Not even talking as friends... You both seem uncomfortable with each other still. You are disappearing with Duo a lot lately though..." Wu Fei continues staring at Trowa who stares back blankly.

"Duo and I are just friends if you're trying to imply something about our relationship." Trowa says blankly. "Duo and Heero have their relationship in any case. Why would I even try to interfere in that?"

"Are you saying that if they didn't have a relationship you'd be interested in Duo?" Wu Fei asks calmly.

"I didn't say that...Duo...Duo is just a friend...I couldn't see him as anything more. Quatre is the only one who could fill me with the warmth I feel." Trowa says with a lot of emotion.

Wu Fei nods in understanding. "Sorry. I just thought I'd ask so personal questions. I'm sure with Duo always by your side...you both have some kind of plan up your sleeves." Wu Fei stands up and smiles at Trowa's surprised expression. "I see...so you do have a plan. I won't ask. I'm sure you both can handle it, but if you do need any kind of help Trowa...be sure to ask me. I may prefer being alone and distant but I do want to help my friends." Wu Fei walks back inside the house.

Trowa stares at the door he went in though. "Wu Fei..." He whispers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Duo bounded back into Heero's bedroom with a big bowl of cereal. Heero glances up and frowns.

"Isn't it too late to be eating cereal, Duo?" He asks.

"No way Heero! *grins* Any time is the best time for cereal!" Duo munches away. Heero sighs and pulls out some of the documents that were being printed out. "You got anything for us Heero?"

Heero turns to Duo and nods. "Yes I do. But it's not exactly what you may be looking for...and if it is...You and Trowa have your work cut out for you..."
