Warnings: yaoi, 1/3

Time zone of setting: After the ending of Endless Waltz

The war has ended... I should be happy, shouldn't I? Yet, why is there this sudden, strange feeling of longing and sadness... Didn't I've always wished for the war to end? No! It's not that... it is not the war. I do want the war to end and am really relief that it has. But... but... it's the feeling of emptiness and loneliness that is getting to me. Since time memorial, war has always been my companion. After all, I've no parent, no family, and no name. I was destined to live with war... even though I always wish to for a time of peace and harmony, a somewhat utopian society.

But... now when the war has actually ended, I feel so lost... I've lost my sense of direction in life. I don't know where to go.

A part of me is badly yeaning to run back into the arms of my foster family, the circus. Even now, I can hear my heart crying out to me to go there, where there is warmth and comfort, and a really nice and motherly sister, Catherine. However, can I really do that? After all, I'm destined to live a life of war, aren't I? It's my fate to live a life of hell; I shouldn't go back to the circus and disrupt their happy life once again. I've done it too many times, coming and going as I please, making Catherine worry for me. It's just not fair to them... I just can't go back there. Then... where else can I go? I don't really have many friends, except for those at the circus and my comrades of the war, who has all dispersed. It's just yesterday that Quatre, Duo and I destruct our Gundams together, but now I am here alone, not knowing what to do and where to go.

Quatre has invited Duo and me for a visit to his house, but both of us rejected. Duo claims that he has left many things hanging in mid-way, when he went off to war, and now he has to return to L2 to complete them. I can't help wondering is his relationship with Hirde, one of those things he needed to sort out. After all it is pretty clear that Hirde more than like Duo, but how Duo really feels towards her, is still one big mystery. After all, Duo like the rest of us, also wears a mask – the mask of a clown.

As for me, I know that Quatre will now be very busy with the large Winner's fortune and the numerous businesses and I shouldn't bother him.

Well... and as for Heero and Wufei no one really knows where they have gone too, although I personally would guess that Wufei will probably have joined the Preventers, for he has the true warrior's blood flowing through his veins.

And Heero, who seems to be able to do anything and everything perfectly, can be classified as the world's greatest mystery, no one knows where he will go and when he will appears. He is just too unpredictable, but that's just makes him more mysteriously enchanting...

All of a sudden, I feel a soft tap on his shoulder, I turn around and am immediately lost in a pool of blue...

"Trowa..."

"Heero?" I am stunned, how...how can it be? Heero? What... what is he doing here?

Before I can even react, I am wrapped in a pair of strong arms...

"He-Heero?"

Heero continues to stare at me blankly, and just as sudden as his appearance, Heero pull me closer and take my lips with his. I remains shock for a moment, before reacting, kissing him back intensely.

After what seems like eternity, I pull back gasping for breath.

"Trowa..." Heero whispers in my ear... a word that is wrapped in deep emotions... a single word carrying all the weight of love along with it.

My name has never sounded more musical, more beautiful than now...

"Trowa, would you like to travel with me?"

A simple question that carry with it tonnes of underlying meaning; a simple question representing Heero's feelings. I know what Heero wants is not just a simple travelling companion, but a life partner.

I've never seen Heero as gentle as now... He seems so... so different as compared to the expressionless and seemingly emotionless Perfect Soldier that I have known. Is this the real Heero, the real person behind the mask of a heartless soldier, a killing machine?

This is a question that needs time to answer... but... but... I'll know the answer some day, because I've finally find my sense of direction... my destiny... now that I'm in your arms... and I'm not going anywhere else.

My fingers reached up hesitantly, to touch your cheek, stroking it gently and you know my wordless answer. In response, your hand reaches up and cups my in yours, before planting a quick peck on my lips.

"Trowa, it's time to go."

I nod and then bend down to pick up my bag-pack from the ground. However, before I can take it, it is already in your hands.

"Trowa, let me carry it for you."

And I grace you in return with a shy smile. A smile expressing all my gratitude for your kindness and love; a smile that acknowledges your unspoken wish to take care of me from now on.

Yes... I've finally discovered my path in life... my destiny...

The End.
