Part2: Patience Breeds Love

I love you so much Trowa. More than you can ever know, more than you can ever realise. My love for you is so deep that it's like a bottomless pit. No matte how I try to express my love, dear, it's never enough. It'll never be.

Quatre walked down the aisle of the space shuttle to his designated seat.

Trowa, do you know how scare I'm to loose you? Can you understand that? Do you know how much opposition I fought my way through to marry you two years ago? And even now... even now some of my family members still never forgive me for that. But I love you Trowa, so much so that I'm willing to go to endless pains just to have you as my wife; to keep you by my side officially and proclaim my heart-felt feelings for you to the world. I know all this has been a real stress on you too. I do understand that you feel like you're a stranger trampling his way through a family circle that should be close against you. Trowa dear, I do feel your sorrow and confusion every single time I express my love to you. I can sense you fear and subtle discomfort whenever I get too close to you physically. I know it's because of your past; your horrid past that has been grotesquely twisted in the hands of those wretched mercenaries. However, I too can feel the times when your pain-ripen soul can lit up and sing in joy to my love. You need me just as much as I need you. But Trowa, do tell me what can I do to make you really happy? How am I supposed to go about showing you the beauties of this world? How am I supposed to lighten your heart and bring your soul out from its shadowy hideout into brightness again? I'm so nervous that I'll choose a wrong path to tread on causing me to loose you forever. I'm so frighten... so very frighten that I'll increase your pains with all these burdens in my heart. Thus, all I can do is that of sharing my joy with you but never my pains.

Mindlessly, Quatre fingers the dozen rose on his lap that are meant for his love.

Regardless of your stoic expression that seems to radiate strength and confidence, I know how fragile and delicate you're inside. And because of this knowledge, I do not dare to weight you down with any extra burdens; I do not wish to stress you more with all the tremendous workload I'm forced to face as the heir to the Winner's vast fortunes. Trowa do you think that I've such a stony heart that I can't feel your disappointment whenever I reject your offer to help me with my work? Of course I do! And yes, I do trust you Trowa; I do trust your efficiency, after all you were a Gundam pilot not for nothing! Nevertheless, I can't bear to weight you down, not even a single bit.

Quatre looked out of the space shuttle's window in the direction of his home; in the direction of where the one that has kept his heart in lock is...

Be patient my love, all our troubles will soon come to an end, I've found a good heir in my cousin brother, Rarbu. He will soon be old enough to take over my job load from me, and we can then leave this life of the riches for one more seclude, just me and you; husband and wife. I hope this will be a good news for you dear, when I return home to your side tonight. I do wish to see your lovely smiles again, no matter how small they are.
