3+4 One-shot. Warning: Taupe bashing.

Written: 03/16/04

Actually, I don't mind taupe. I just thought I'd make Quatre a major little fruitcake in this.

~~~~~~

I hate this wall color. It's taupe! It's disgusting. As soon as the war is over I'm repainting the walls a better color. Maybe a muted peach or a dusty rose. Something warmer than taupe. Grr. Taupe!

"Quatre?"

"What is it Trowa?"

"Aren't you going to bed?"

"Yeah."

I hate taupe. It's boring. It's tan. There's nothing special about it. Stupid taupe. Stupid walls....

"Quatre?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Trowa."

Distracting walls.

"You need to rest..."

Gosh. He's really handsome. I think the taupe makes his hair darker. Semi-stupid taupe. Semi-stupid walls.

"Quatre."

His breathing's awful shallow. I hope he doesn't have a history of heart problems.

"Trowa..."

Why's he so close? What's he doing?

"Hush."

Crap. Stupid wall. What does he think he's doing!

This is nice. His lips are really soft.

Breathe. In, out. In, out.

"Quatre?"

Do that again and I'll buy you your own country.

"Quatre?"

Seriously. Kiss me again.

"I'm sorry, Quatre."

What for? Wait, where you going? Why are you leaving?

"Trowa! Wait!"

Move, stupid feet! Boy, talk about a first kiss. Not stupid walls. Not stupid taupe.

"Master Quatre. You look flushed."

Big man is in the way. Not good.

"Rashid, have you seen Trowa?"

Please, oh please.

"Yes, he ran by. I think he was headed for the hanger."

Crap. Move faster feet!

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry, Hurry.

Taupe, taupe, taupe, taupe, GRAY!

"Trowa!"

Stairs, two at a time. Three at a time. He's going to leave. Hurry!

"Trowa!"

He looks so sad. Time for that leap of faith. Literally.

Ouch. Forgot about the safety railing. Well, I made it onto the hatchway, albeit with bruised shins.

"Quatre. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."

"Do it again and I'll forgive you."

He's got the greatest smile. And he's mine now. I won't ever let him go.

~~~~~~

Oops. I guess it's kind of a cute little romantic-comedy now.

Did everyone understand what was happening? I tried to make it how people really think but it was my first first-person fic. Please don't kill me.

Review if you liked it. Review if it sucked. Flames will be used for heat. Winter sucks.

Ja minna,
