"He's Trowa Barton? How can I ever face Heero and Duo again, knowing that their friend hates me? I just won't face them again…" Quatre sighed and brushed away his tears. 'I'll just stay down here for the rest of the trip and avoid them during meals…why did I have to be so stupid and kiss him? He was so kind to me and I just had to screw it all up. Stupid Quatre does it again…' The blonde was about to collapse onto his bed when a soft knock came at his door.
'It's probably Heero or Duo…they probably want me to explain…Stupid Quatre…' He opened the door not to see Heero or Duo, but the tall green-eyed man he now knew as Trowa. Quatre gasped.
'I caused those tears…' Trowa realized. He blinked. "We need to talk." Trowa said firmly.
Quatre stepped back to let the other man in. He shut the door after himself and before Trowa could say anything, Quatre began apologizing like a madman.
"Listen Trowa. I'm really sorry for kissing you like that. I didn't mean to. I was depressed and you were there comforting me. And you smelled real nice, too, but- WAIT! NO! Sorry. I mean, it should never have happened but you looked so gorgeous-NO! WAIT! Sorry! It's just, I really like you, and I'd love for us to be friends but I don't know if you could ever forgive me. I am really really sorry. I should have known you weren't like me, but I really wish you were- NO! Dammit! Sorry-"
Suddenly, Trowa grabbed the rambling boy and planted a kiss on his lips, effectively shutting him up. Trowa held one hand to the boy's cheek as the other hand pulled the smaller boy to him. The brunette poured his heart out into the kiss, wishing that Quatre would feel it. When he pulled away, Trowa stared into Quatre's eyes while gently stroking the boy's cheek. Then Trowa finally realized what he'd wanted to know since he first saw his blonde.
"Aqua…" Trowa whispered.
"Huh?" Quatre asked, feeling somewhat dazed.
"Your eyes. Ever since I first saw you, I've wondered what color they are. And now I know."
"Trowa?"
Trowa leaned down and gave Quatre a short and soft kiss. "My turn to talk now." The brunette sighed. "Ever since I first saw you, I haven't been able to get you out of my mind. And when you told me that you were gay, I nearly cried from happiness. I should have told you right then and there that I'm gay too. But, being the fool that I am, I didn't. And then you kissed me." Trowa sighed again, this time in content. "I felt like I was in heaven. But I didn't respond soon enough, giving you the wrong idea. So I spent all day yesterday searching for you but I failed. But now that you're here, I finally get to tell you what I've wanted to say for so long…I love you."
Quatre blinked before the tears began pouring out again.
In seeing this, Trowa panicked and stepped back. 'Oh no…does he not feel the same?' "Quatre…?"
The blonde boy threw his arms around Trowa's neck and kissed him hard and passionately. "I love you, too."
"Really?"
Quatre nodded. "I was just so scared. I thought you hated me. And we just met the other night and everything. It's all moving so fast."
"I know. I couldn't understand how you made me feel so…wonderful even without knowing your name and since I had only first seen you at the docks. I don't understand a lot of it but I do understand enough to know my feelings for you are real."
Quatre purred and rest his head against Trowa's shoulder.
"And besides…" The brunette kissed his love's forehead. "We have the rest of our lives to get to know each other."

"You mean that this whole time, those two have secretly been in love?!" Duo gaped. "And they didn't say anything to us?!"
The couple was currently walking around the first deck
"I don't know how Quatre feels about him, Duo. Stop making things up."
"But wouldn't it be great if he did? We'll be like one big happy family!"
"Duo, what are you talking about?"
"Well, Cat's your brother and…I am officially naming Trowa my…cousin! Yeah!"
Heero simply rolled his eyes.
"And then, we could go have family outings and stuff. Oh! And we can bring Wufei cause's now, he's my second cousin, twice removed." Duo winked. "And then Sally and Iria can join us too! And since Iria's gonna marry that Tom guy that'll make Dorothy her's and Quatre's family too cause Dorothy said that Tom was like a brother to her and since Dorothy and Relena are getting it on, she'll be apart of the family and Zechs will too! Sounds like fun, eh?"
"Duo."
The braided boy stopped walking and turned to face his partner. "Yeah?"
"Either shut up or put those lips to good use."
Duo smiled mischievously before chasing Heero back to their room.

This took forever and it's so short. I'm sorry. Huge block that I'm trying to get over. Especially since summer's arrived. Less distractions. Random Duo silliness. Rah.
