Itine
"You thought that Dorothy was my girlfriend?" Quatre giggled.
"Well, how was I supposed to know otherwise? Usually when I see two people kiss the way you two did, I'd assume that they were a couple." Trowa responded.
The two were sitting at the stern of the ship, watching the waves the Itine made in its path. It was well into the afternoon and the two found some alone time after being harassed by Duo to "play" with him. Again.
"Maybe it would have been better if you knew that she only fancies women."
"Wait, you mean she's-"
"Uh-huh. She's on the ship with her girlfriend, Relena. I should introduce you before we all go our separate ways..." Quatre trailed off, realizing all too suddenly that he and Trowa would have to leave each other as well when they reached America.
Trowa, too, realized this fact as he unconsciously tightened his grip around his boyfriend's waist. He had just found his love. He didn't want to leave him so soon.
"Trowa..." Quatre said, a little uneasily, snapping the other boy out of his thoughts.
The brunette kissed the other boy's temple. "Don't worry about it, Quatre..."
"But...as soon as we reach America, I'll be going off to Maine and you'll be going to California. That's so far away..."
"I know..." Trowa sighed. "But we'll make it work. I won't give you up that easily. I'll visit you as soon as I finish up some business at home."
Quatre didn't respond. He was trapped in his own thoughts as he stared off into the open waters.
"Quatre, don't worry about it. Nothing could keep me away from you for long."
The blonde simply nuzzled the other's chest. He wanted to savior Trowa's touches before having to give them up. 'If Trowa says that it'll be all right, I'm sure everything will work out in the end...' Quatre sighed. "I love you, Trowa."
"I love you too, Quatre."

Ten people all sat at one table. All were now at least acquainted with each other if not only friends.
"What a small world!" Relena laughed. "Here we are going off to see Treize, and as it turns out, you two are going to visit Treize as well."
Zechs sighed. "I only hope he knows that all of us are coming. If not, I'm personally going to kick all four of you out."
Duo grinned. "Awww, c'mon, Zechs. We won't disturb you and your Treizie-poo that much!"
The blonde man simply glared at the braided boy.
"Well what about you two?" Dorothy turned to Wufei and Sally. "Where are you off to once you reach America?"
"We have a friend in Chicago named Lucrezia Noin. She's going to accompany us once we get to Illinois." Wufei answered. "After that, Noin has everything else planned."
"Wow." Iria said. "I would love to be able to do that. I've never really been outside New England."
"Then why don't you join us?" Sally proposed. "I'm sure Noin won't mind. You two will get along splendidly."
"I'm not sure. But if you guys are ever in Portland, be sure to look me up. I'll definitely show you guys around." Iria offered.
"We'll be sure to remember that."
"Hey!" Duo pouted. "I wanna go with you guys too."
"Please, Maxwell. I've had enough of you for this one trip alone. I wouldn't be able to stand another trip with you. But Heero, you're welcome any time." Wufei smirked.
"Well, thank you, Wufei." Heero nodded.
"Awww...Heero! You wouldn't leave me would you?"
"You're the one who wanted to visit Treize. Aren't you going to stay there for a while?"
"Please, Yuy. Take him with you." Zechs shook his head. "I don't want to deal with anymore of this 'I want to play' business."
Trowa scoffed. "Try dealing with it when you're trying to have some good alone time."
Quatre just giggled at the cross look Trowa was tossing at Duo.
"That's exactly what I want to avoid."
"Awww, poor Duo." Quatre smiled. "Duo, you can stay with me whenever you want."
"Thanks Q-man!" Duo beamed.
"Are you sure about that, Quatre?" Heero cocked an eyebrow. "Duo has a bottomless stomach."
The small blonde chuckled. "I'm positive."
"You guys, tomorrow is our last full day on the ship. Can you believe it?" Relena said, excitedly. "In less than forty-eight hours, we'll be in America."
"Wow, you're right." Dorothy said. "Time sure flies."
Sally smiled. "Sure does..."
"Haha! This is the best voyage I've ever been on!" Duo laughed.
Trowa looked at Quatre. "You can say that again."
Quatre smiled in return.
"Well, wherever we all end up, I hope everyone has a safe voyage when they get there." Dorothy said.
"Cheers to that." Relena held up her wine glass.
All ten clinked their glasses together. "Cheers!"

"I'm gonna have to say...roses. They're just so classy and beautiful. And they come in so many different colors." Quatre answered.
The blonde was sitting cross-legged upon his bed facing Trowa who was lying down with his hand holding up his head. The two had spent the last hour or so asking each other questions. Quatre was idly playing with Trowa's free hand with looking down at the brunette lovingly.
"Hmmm...what's your favorite animal?" The blonde asked.
Trowa thought about it. "I'll have to say...a cat...no pun intended." He winked. "Cats are so graceful and acrobatic. Plus, I think it'd be interesting to be able to jump down three stories without so much as a scratch."
Quatre smiled. "I guess it kinda suits you."
"Hm? How so?"
"Well, every move you make is so graceful. Your movements are so fluid. And your eyes remind of a cat's eyes, too."
"Hmmm." Trowa purred. Not intentionally. "Let's see...what's your favorite place to be kissed?"
Quatre laughed. "I'm not gonna tell you that!"
The other boy frowned. "Why not?"
"Because..." Quatre smiled seductively. "You're gonna have to find that out on your own."
Trowa smiled in return and cocked an eyebrow. "Is that so?"
"Mm-hmm."
"Well in that case..." Trowa sat up and kissed Quatre just below the ear. "Is it here?"
"Mmmm..." The blonde closed his eyes. "Close...not quite."
Trowa kissed down Quatre's slender neck. "Here?"
"...No..."
Trowa moved to the other side of Quatre's neck and began kissing it. "How about here?"
Quatre emitted a little moan but still shook his head. "No..."
Trowa made a move for Quatre's collarbone. But unfortunately, Quatre's shirt was in the way.
With his eyes still closed, Quatre giggled. "So close..."
Trowa simply stripped the blonde of the offensive shirt. His eyes roamed over Quatre's perfect pale skin before moving in again. Quatre lifted his chin to give Trowa more access. The brunette planted kissed all across Quatre's collarbones. "Here?" He asked, his voice sultry with desire.
"Mmmm...Trowa..." Quatre opened his eyes slightly before wrapping his arms around Trowa's neck. He kissed the other boy deeply on the lips, much to Trowa's delight.
When they finally broke for air, Trowa chuckled. "We should play this game more often." He looked down at the boy he loved who looked up at him with love in his eyes.
Quatre sighed. "So Trowa..."
"Hm?"
"What's your favorite place to be kissed?"
Trowa smiled as Quatre proceeded to find the desired spot.

Those two were getting awfully close at the end, don't you suppose? But they didn't do anything too naughty! That's for later. Heh. Anywho, they're reaching land soon! You know what that means? The end is coming soon! Yeah. But don't worry. It won't be TOO soon. Yep. Thanks to all readers and all reviewers. And to the makers of Corn Chex.
