"Well, we've known for quite some time now, really." Quatre began. "You're very…"
"Obvious?" I interrupted. "Palpable?" "Conspicuous?
"No…enthusiastic was the word I was looking for, with your passions. You don't really hide it. It's not a bad thing, it's just…"
"Pathetic?" I said, interrupting again.
"No, it's just the way you are"
"Yeah, I know. A screwed up freak that can't accept that he isn't and won't ever be loved by the only one he loves and-" Quatre gently interrupted him.
"Duo, really it's ok. You aren't a freak. You…" Quatre trailed off, not knowing how to phrase what he wanted to say.
"You aren't alone" Trowa said. He looked at Quatre and smiled. Quatre nodded knowingly. "Quatre and I are going out, so to speak."
"What?" That's not what I was expecting…at all. Quatre and Trowa? Quatre AND Trowa?! Together?! That's so…fitting actually. They were made for each other. I looked at the two of them. Trowa had moved over closer to Quatre and started to play with his hair. Quatre playfully batted him away. They should have hooked up a long time ago. Maybe they did and just didn't tell me. But if they did, why didn't they tell me?
"How long have you…" I vacillated.
"2 months. Right, Quatre?" Trowa inquired.
"3, silly" he corrected, giggling. They sat silent for a moment, gazing at each other with such passion and delight that I couldn't help but be happy for them. However, I could feel my joy for them quickly turning to anger. Why do they get to be together? Why do I have to be the one who gets my heart ripped out and thrown to the ground? Why do I suffer, while they partake in the ecstasy and enchantments of love? Why? Why can't I have that glee, that bliss? Why do I have to be alone? Why does Heero love Relena and not me? I wondered. A thought occurred to me. Relena…hmmm"
"Duo? You ok?" Trowa asked, concerned. He edged away from Quatre a bit. "I'm sorry. We should have thought about how that would affect you…"
"No, it's fine. It's all right, I'm fine." I lied. The anger left me. I shouldn't make them worry. They don't need this from me. They should be happy. "I'm going to go," I said, getting up. "I have some stuff to do"
"Okay," Trowa said. "You sure you're all right?"
"Yeah, I'm fine,"
"Well, if you ever need to talk…"
"Don't worry, just go on with your life. Trowa"
"Okay," he said, slightly taken aback by my strange comment.
"Bye!" I said in a mock-cheerful voice. I got up and walked to the door.
"Bye" Trowa and Quatre said together. I'm gonna miss them. I walked out the door and down the street again, towards home. Relena…you will be faithful, devoted and loving to Heero. I swear. I'll make sure of it. Somehow…
