Snapshots of the Gundam Wing Pilots

by elana-chan

Snapshot: Trowa Barton/Triton Bloom

The war is finally over.

The Gundams aren't needed any longer.

At last...

Peace...

Silence...

Nanashi—

No! I must forget those. I have a new life now. I have a sister, a name, a place to belong...

But do I feel that something's missing? Why couldn't I feel the contentment that I'd hoped to get?

Back then, I've always wanted to have a name. A real name. So people would stop their taunting. To feel what it's like to have something to own, even if it's only a name. But in those times, it's not practical. Now...

Now, I have one. But still, something's missing...

(Trowa then sees someone headed towards him. He instantly recognizes the blond hair as Quatre approaches him. Quatre greets him with a smile as Trowa could only nod in return. The blond animatedly talks to him as Trowa listens.)

Quatre...

That warm feeling again. The feeling of warmth. Contentment. Wholeness...

Is it you, Quatre? Are you the one I've been looking for?

Heero had once said to me to follow my emotions. That's the first and maybe last time I ever saw a hint of emotions from him. I even wondered why he said that so melancholic.

And I guess he's right. Now that the war's finally over, I could finally let you know my feelings for you, Quatre...

(Trowa stops as Quatre faces him with a serious face. A heavy silence descends upon them. Minutes pass by before Quatre finally breaks the silence by saying those three words that Trowa longed to hear. Trowa tries to say it but nothing escapes his lips. Quatre only smiles up at him as Trowa kisses him instead.)

Why? Why now? Why can't I say it?

(sigh) Someday, Quatre. I promise you. I'll be able to say those three words. Someday...

Quatre...

...je't aime

to be continued...

Author's notes:

Hiya!!!! Just ignore the typos and wrong grammar in the story. I'm too lazy to beta my fics so gomen!!!!! Unlike the other fics where the gw boys utter foreign words, this story only has one foreign phrase. Je't aime means 'I love you'. Well, see you again next time!!!! Ja people!!!!
