Untitled - Part Two

Quatre POV

Oh my gosh, I don't know what to say. Trowa just asked me to be with him and I don't know what to say!

"I don't know what to say, Trowa!"

"Say yes," Trowa said.

"I'm just astonished at you, you don't show any emotion and now you surprise me like this! Trowa, oh, I'm so confused but I think I'm happy..."

"Then say yes," Trowa repeated.

"Oh but, what if I'm not sure? What if, what if-"

Trowa put a finger to the blond boy's lips.

"You've got that look in your eye that makes me want to believe that you're sure. Please, Quatre, you look like you want to say yes so please say it!" Trowa said.

Quatre looked at the taller figure of Trowa in front of him. He couldn't hide his true feelings any longer. He stepped forward and embraced Trowa.

"Yes," Quatre said.

I'm sure. I'm sure I could be happy with him. After all, love has nothing to do whether it's a man or woman, or whether they look good, it's about love. And if he and I love each other then it's OK...

Duo POV

Duo stepped away from Quatre and Trowa's room. Everyone had unpacked and moved furniture around accordingly, but now it seemed to Duo that Quatre and Trowa would be sleeping together in the same bed. Duo was happy for them, but it made him want to be with Heero even more. He just didn't want to be blocked out totally, as then he would most likely never see the perfect soldier as often as he'd like.Sigh, things just didn't seem to be for him at the moment. Then, he heard the door to Quatre and Trowa's room open behind him. Duo turned around to face Quatre who padded up to Duo and smiled.

"You heard that, right?" Quatre asked.

"Of course," Duo said in response.

"Oh, Duo, I'm so happy!"

"I noticed..." Duo trailed off and looked down.

"Oh, I'm sorry Duo, I didn't realize I was making you jealous, I guess you could say. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Not really Quatre, thanks anyway," Duo said as he began to walk away.

"Talk to Heero? I can do that for you if you'd like, maybe I could convince him, or better yet, get Dr. J to convince him...you know that may be the best plan we have."

"You'd do that for me? Really? Thanks Quat, you're the greatest!" Duo said as he returned to Quatre.

Duo continued down the hallway towards his room. Passing Heero's room he thought to himself.

Maybe I have a chance. I don't know why I need it so bad but I just feel so empty inside without someone and Heero is the one I want right now. Please, make my wish come true.

A Couple Days Later

There was a knock on Duo's door.

"Come in," Duo yelled to the door.

"Uh, hi, Duo," Heero said, walking through the door and shutting it as he went through.

"Heero!" Duo stood up.

"Yeah, Quatre talked to me and I'm here to apologize."

"Apologize for what?" Duo asked, hoping that Heero would realize that Duo wanted full detail.

"Being non-respondent, ignoring you, acting like a general ass."

"Apology accepted. Thank you, Heero. Uhm, was there anything else Quatre talked to you about?" Duo said hopefully.

"Look, Duo, I don't want to talk about it," Heero said quickly, with a look to his eye that made Duo angry.

"Why? Why don't you want to talk about it? It's your fault so solve the problem!"

"How is it my fault!? I didn't mean for you to be attracted to me. I didn't mean for anything to happen with us and I don't. Dr. J said-"

"Screw Dr. J! Heero! Be human! Just because you shut off your emotions at first risk doesn't mean the rest of us do!"

"You don't know the first thing about my emotions so you're the one who should stop!"

Heero turned and walked out. Duo sat down, mind blazing with thoughts of confusion. Understanding Heero would be tough, because the boy had an unreadable face.

What does he mean? If he would just tell me everything face-to-face it would everything easier. He always does things the hard way. Why can't I understand him, why can't I just be with him. Even if it didn't work out I wouldn't feel so forsaken in this world. I wouldn't be so lonely in this cold house.

A Week Later

Quatre POV

Something is wrong here. Heero and Duo still are not speaking to each other. I wonder what went wrong when Heero went to talk to Duo, I wonder even if Heero went to talk to Duo. No, Heero is not a coward...

"Something bothering you, love?" Trowa broke Quatre's thoughts.

"I think something is even worse between Heero and Duo. Even after they talked. I just can't tell because now both of them have shut up. Even when they're close to each other they don't give each other any attention."

"Maybe we could do something to make them feel more attentive to each other," Trowa said.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that Duo is really the only one that knows about us being us. Maybe Heero and Wu Fei have their suspicions but I doubt, highly, that they're confirmed. We're not exactly out on the open everyday in front of everyone."

"So you're suggesting that we become more open?" Quatre asked.

"Yes."

"But what if we make it worse between Heero and Duo or offend Wu Fei?"

"It won't make it worse between the 2. And as for Wu Fei, he couldn't go anywhere, we are a team and he knows it," Trowa stated.

"I guess that makes sense. When I make dinner tonight, make sure they're all there at the same time, and we eat at the table. Besides, it would be better for all of us to see each other more."

Dinner Time

Wu Fei POV

"Wu Fei, do me a favor and set the table. We're going to eat at the table tonight. Trowa, love, make something to drink for everyone," Quatre ordered.

Quatre continued to move mass quantities of noodles and vegetables from pans and pots to plates. Trowa poured glasses of juice for everyone and the table was set.

"Where's Heero and Duo?" Quatre asked Wu Fei.

"I don't know, Quatre."

"Mind getting them for me?"

Wu Fei got up and walked upstairs.

What in the world is going on? I will not believe or tolerate any sort of that 'behavior' that seems to be going on between Trowa and Quatre. And what the hell? Trowa is not usually so carefree, what has gotten in to him?

"Heero, Duo, where are you? We're eating now!" Wu Fei called.

Duo rushed out of his room. Wu Fei turned back downstairs and Duo followed him.

"Wu Fei, where's Heero?" Quatre prodded.

"I called him, he should be coming soon."

"Then sit down. Duo, you too."

"No need to say more Quatre, you know I can eat all of this food and then some," Duo said.

"Yet you manage to stay skinnier than all of us," replied Quatre.

The table was set. Trowa, Wu Fei, and Duo were all sitting down at the table and Quatre put all the cooking dishes in the sink. Quatre began to sit when he realized Heero still wasn't down yet.

"Wu Fei! Go get Heero. I asked you the first time and you didn't make sure he was coming."

"I did what you asked. If he misses dinner then it's his problem, not ours," Wu Fei said arrogantly.

"Duo?"

Quatre looked expectantly at Duo.

"Going," Duo said.

Heero POV

Heero yawned as he lay on his bed. He looked out the window at the falling night sky. He wondered how things would turn out, and why they would. He thought about why things were the way they were now.

Why can't I just tell him how I feel? Why do I have to even have any attraction to him, and worse, why am I attracted to him in the first place?

A footstep down the hall entered his thoughts. As they got closer to his door Heero wondered what time it was. A knock on his door broke his train of mind and remaining laying on his bed he asked who it was.

"Who is it?" Heero called.

"Duo. Quatre cooked us dinner and we're all waiting for you, so if you wouldn't mind..." Duo responded through the door.

"Come in."

Duo entered Heero's room. There was Heero's bed, with Heero laying on it looking out the window.

"Heero, food." Duo said.

"Alright Duo. Let them know I'm coming down in a bit, just go down and begin eating without me."

"Kay, Heero."

Duo left. Heero sat up and looked at the door. He heard Duo walking down the staircase. Getting up, he looked at the window one more time. It was growing dark quickly.
