Robotic City, Poetic Love
Chapter 18: Am I human or not?
Quatre wakes up and notices Trowa isn't at this side. The small blonde picks up Trowa's pillow to breathe in the scent Trowa left behind. Quatre is a little disappointed since he was wishing to wakes up in Trowa's arms. He wonders when Trowa goes.
Quatre gets up, put a silk robe over his ceramic-like body and walks out of his bedroom to go look for Trowa. Wufei is sitting in the living room reading a book. The Chinese bodyguard knows Quatre is looking for Trowa.
Good morning, Trowa just left. He wants to go and get something at the tea shop. He will be right back. Wufei says.
Quatre smiles to his body guard. Thanks for telling me, Wufei, and good morning to you, too. I'll be playing with the harp at the balcony. Call me if you need me. Quatre says.
Wufei nods and continues reading his book. Soon, beautiful music flows in the air. Wufei can't help but stops reading and listen to the music. The music makes Wufei feels so warm, peaceful and happy. It reminds Wufei of the time when he was getting marry, when he held Meirian in his arms and promised her I'll spent the rest of my life with you'. Wufei can feel the deep love in the music.
The home computer says, someone is at the door.Who is it? Wufei asks.
It's me, can you let me in? Trowa says via the computer intercom.
Let him in. Wufei says to the computer. The door opens and Trowa comes in with a bag of tea leaves in his hands.
I got some Arabian tea for Quatre. I got some Chinese tea for you too. I don't know which kind you like so I just got the regular green tea. Hope it's okay Trowa says to Wufei.
Green tea sounds wonderful, thank you. Why don't you go and stay with Quatre? I will get the tea ready for the two of you. I will get you a key card, too. Then you can get in here without asking me. Wufei says as he takes the bags.
Thank you. Trowa says.
Trowa follows the music and arrives at the balcony. The sight in front of Trowa takes his breath away. Quatre's light skin and golden hair shimmer under the morning sun as his lithe body sways graciously over the harp. Quatre looks out of this world.
Quatre's eyes are close. The petite boy is so into the music he doesn't notice Trowa watching him. Trowa feels like he is looking at perfection and he doesn't want to interrupt. The tall boy sits down quietly and watches his delicate lover works magic at the harp.
Wufei takes the tea up to the balcony and puts it down next to Trowa. thank you. Trowa says to Wufei.
You're welcome. Wufei says. Quatre opens his eyes to look at the two taller boys.
Trowa! I didn't hear you come in, sorry! Quatre says. His crystal blue eyes light up like the stars at the sight of Trowa.
Your song is so lovely I don't want to intrude. Trowa says as he walks up to gives Quatre a kiss on the lips.
I'm going to visit Heroo and Duo, so you two can spend some times alone. Oh, here, Trowa, I got you a key card so you don't have to ask me to let you in. Wufei says as he gives Trowa a key card.
Good bye, Wufei. Quatre says.
You watch over Quatre now. Wufei says to Trowa. Trowa nods.
Wufei leaves the two lovers by themselves. Quatre looks at the key card. I'm sorry, I should have give you a key card for my apartment. You shouldn't need permission to get in here. You're my lover. says Quatre as he blushes lightly. Trowa can't help but chuckles lightly; the way Quatre blushes when he calls Trowa his lover is too cute and endearing. Trowa plants a light kiss on Quatre's forehead.
I missed you this morning Quatre says.
You're too beautiful when you sleep, I don't have the heart to wake you up. Trowa says as he plays with Quatre's hair.
Don't say that, I'm not beautiful Quatre says. The small blonde takes the infuser out of his cup. It's a beautiful silver tea infuser that shapes like a violin. Quatre tries to get the infuser to open but the infuser is half-broken. It takes the young musician several tries to get the infuser to work.
Why don't you use a new one? That infuser is broken already. You have so many infusers. Just replace this one. Trowa asks his lover.
But this is the first gift you ever gave me. This is my most treasured procession. I will never replace it Quatre says.
Trowa smiles and takes the infuser. I'll fix the infuser for you.Thank you! Quatre smiles. The smiling face of the young musician is so enchanting, Trowa can't help but touches it.
Oh, Quatre. How can you be so perfect Trowa says.
Trowa, stop calling me beautiful and perfect, please. Quatre says.
How can I stop, everything about you is perfect. Your face, your body, your hands, only the hands of a perfect creature can play the enchanted music that you play Trowa says.
Well, I was made that wayI was made to be the perfect little boy. These hands can play beautiful music cause they're made to do so. Quatre sighs sadly and looks away from Trowa's emerald eyes.
Trowa holds Quatre's chin and gently makes the small boy face him again. Little one, listen to me. You're perfect because you are sweet, kind and caring. That's what makes you shine so beautifully and no one can make that. Trowa says softly.
I wish I'm really a human. Then I can learn to love like humans do. It feels so warm to love and to be loved. That day, when Youji is holding Ken, and Ken was crying in Youji's armstheir love was so powerful. I can feel it in my uchuu no kokoro Quatre says as he places his heart onto his chest.
But you do know how to love, Quatre Trowa says.
No, robots like me have computers for brains. Everything is processed as 1 and 0. Trowa, you're so wonderful, I want you to have the love you deserve Quatre says sadly as he rests his head on Trowa's shoulder.
You do know how to love, Quatre. Don't you remember how worried you were that day when you saw me in the prison? And the songs that you play, no computer can play that. It's filled with love. People love your music because it's filled with emotions. Trowa says as he hugs Quatre lovingly.
You really think I have emotions in my songs? The music isn't good just because I was made to play them good? Quatre asks as he looks up to Trowa.
Trowa nods. There are love in your music, and that's what make the music special. Trowa says as he taps Quatre's cute button nose.
There is love in my songs? Quatre asks brightly, his sad emotions all disappears.
Yes, there are lots and lots of love in your songs. Trowa says ensuringly.
I was thinking of you when I wrote all those music, Trowa. Quatre says.
Trowa's heart feels warm and delighted. That shows how much you love me. Remember this, I don't care if you're human or robot, you're my Quatre, and I love you. That's all that important and that's all that we need. Trowa says as he kisses Quatre.
I love you too, Trowa. Quatre says.
Trowa pulls Quatre in for a deep kiss. A kiss that is passionate and heated. It's not those light 'I love you' kisses; it's the 'I want you' and 'I need you' kisses that always make Quatre blushes. Trowa unties Quatre's robe and lets the silk fabric slides down the petite blonde creamy skin.
Trowa runs his hand down Quatre's back. The hand is so hot and the touch is so heated with passion it makes Quatre shivers lightly. Trowa lies Quatre down, then sits back and admires Quatre attractive body under the sunlight.
Trowa's glare is too intense and Quatre is getting embarrassed. Quatre is never this reviving in front of Trowa before. When they're intimate, it's always at night in a totally dark room. Quatre has never been clothless under the board daylight in front of Trowa.
"Trowa, don't look at me like that, please." Quatre says shyly as he covers his body with his arms. Trowa takes Quatre's arms away.
"I can't help it, little one. I have to look. You're Too Beauitful and Too Perfect." Trowa says to Quatre lovingly.
For the first time in his life, Quatre doesn't hate it when he hears someone calls him beautiful or perfect. It sounds wonderful when Trowa calls him beautiful. It makes Quatre feels loved. The petite blonde puts his arm around the tall boy and pulls him down for a kiss.
Wufei walks down the street and takes out his cell phone. He punches in a number and soon the call goes through. Wufei asks the person at the other side, "hello, Shadow? did you find out anything about that Ayami girl? Nothing at all? Thanks. Yes, please keep looking."
Wufei hasn't been working for Shark for a long time, but the Chinese still knows people that do work for Shark. Wufei had done a lot of things for those people, and none of those people mind helping Wufei looking for a girl. But so far, nothing comes up. Wufei had kind of expected that to happen. If it's that easy to find Ayami, Aya would have found her already.
"I wonder where can the Shark be hiding her?" Wufei thinks. He walks down the streets and checks out all the vending machines in Future city. Finally, Wufei finds a rice ball machine. He slides his credit card down the machine to get some red bean rice balls.
After he gets the rice balls, Wufei gets to Future Tech to visit Heroo in the office. Heroo is sitting in front of the computer typing away. "Hey, Wufei. What are you doing here? Where is Quatre?" Duo asks.
"Trowa is with him. I want the two of them to spend some times alone, so I come and visit you guys. I'm not intruding, am I?" Wufei asks.
"Don't be stupid! You are always welcome here. Come on in." Duo says.
"Here, I bring you and Heroo some rice balls and green tea. The green tea is from Trowa. He got me a box of it and I figure I come and share it with the two of you. I remember you two like green tea and rice balls." Wufei says.
"You don't have to bring anything when you're visit. We're just happy to see you. I will go get Heroo..." says Duo as he tries to go gets his lover.
Wufei shakes his head and says to Duo, "No, it's okay. Don't bother him. He is busy. You can wait till he is hungry to give him the rice balls."
"Thank you, Wufei. So, now that Trowa is staying with Quatre, it feels weird to be around Quatre, huh?" Duo says.
"Yeah, I keep feeling like I'm in their ways. I think I'm gonna quit. Trowa is more than capable to protect Quatre. They don't need me around." Wufei says.
"You know, you're always welcome to come back and work for us. I will love to have you back and I'm sure Heroo feels the same way." Duo says as he makes some tea for Wufei.
"It's okay. I'm going to be fine." Wufei says.
"But where will you go?" Duo asks worried.
"I'm planning to open a dojo. I always wanted a dojo and now I can go and make it happen. You make sure you come and visit me, okay?" Wufei asks Duo, who smiles back at Wufei.
"I will go and visit you all the time, I will even enroll to learn to fight like you!" Duo promises.
"If you're there, you'll be one of the instructor! You're an amazing martial artist already!" Wufei says as he takes another sip of tea. Suddenly, Wufei's cell phone starts ringing. He looks at the phone and it says the caller is Demona.
"Wufei! Who is Demona? Did you get a new girlfriend and try to hide her away from us?" Duo asks Wufei.
"Don't be silly. My love is only for Meirian. Demona is just a friend. Well, I better get going. You have work to do and I don't want to take up your time. Nice talking to you, Duo." Wufei says as he stands up and leaves.
"It's nice seeing you too, Wufei, and come visit anytime!" Duo smiles as Wufei walks out the door. Duo admires Wufei's love for Meirian; still, it makes Duo feels bad to see Wufei so lonely sometimes. Duo wishes Wufei will find some happiness.
Wufei walks out of Heroo's lab and takes out his cell phone. Demona is one of Shark's many lovers, and she promises to help Wufei looking for Ayami. "Hello, Demona? Did you find out where the girl is?" Wufei asks.
"No, I don't know where she is, and apparaently, the Shark doesn't, too. Not any more, at least. Shark loses the girl last night." Demona says.
"The girl is missing?" Wufei asks.
"Shark just left my place. He was going to take me out to have lunch with his friends when he got a phone call. Someone told him that one of his underground research center is raided by gang of robots, and all the subjects are taken. They were reading the list of all the subjects in the lab, and Ayami is one of the name..." Demona says.
"Thank you." Wufei says.
"Wufei, whoever those robots are, they scared Shark. I never sees Shark scared in my life, but when Shark left here earlier, he looks as scared as a rabbit sees a lion; and nothing scare Shark. You be careful." Demona says.
"Don't worry about me, I'm going to be fine." Wufei says and tries to hang up.
"Wufei?" Demona calls.
"Yes?" Wufei asks.
"Hmm...nothing, good bye." Demona says as she hangs up. Demona doesn't want to keeps Wufei's hopes up, so she doesn't mention to Wufei that Meirian Cheung is one of the name on the list.
