Chapter 10

Trowa headed towards the garden, intent on gathering the girls back into the house. Truthfully, he had an interior motive. He would send Rei back first, but he would speak with Makoto alone. He felt something whenever her saw her and, by her blushes, she felt it also.

He approached the two girls quietly to see them whispering to one another. He stood there for a few moments before clearing his throat for their attention. They jumped guiltily before turning to look up at him.

"Rei, the girls would like to speak with you in the living room," he said not so truthfully. Rei nodded and stood. As she left he noticed Makoto standing to leave with her. He reached out an arm to stop her. "Wait. I want to speak with you." He could have sworn she blanched before re-seating herself on the bench. He moved to sit next to her; sitting closer than she was comfortable with.

"What is it that you wanted to speak with me about?" Makoto said clearing her throat of the lump that had formed there. Trowa eyed her in amusement. He leaned in close.

"I wished to ask you about your feelings towards me." Makoto jumped up in surprise.

"F-feelings?" she stuttered moving towards the edge of the pond. Trowa stood and gave her a small smile as he moved closer.

"Yes, feelings. I would like to know how you feel about me, because I find that I'm very attracted to you." Makoto blinked at Trowa's bold statement. She watched as he moved even closer towards her and opened his arms as though to grab her.

On instinct Makoto pushed him away and was horrified when he slipped. It seemed like it was happening in slow motion. Trowa's eyes widened, or at least the one she could see, as he fell into the pond. He surfaced, sputtering, and glared at Makoto.

"Um," Makoto said searching for something to say. She gave up moments later and began to laugh. She soon stopped as Trowa's glare intensified.

"Don't move," Trowa ordered heatedly as he waded towards the bank of the pond to leave the water. Makoto's eyes widened as, in no time, Trowa was standing before her soaking wet with his clothing clinging to him. His shirt was clinging attractively to him and so was his pants. His hair was also clinging to his face, making him even more breathtaking to Makoto.

"You-you look good wet," Makoto said with a simpering smile before turning and running, leaving an astounded Trowa in her wake.

He blinked a few times before setting his face in a determined mask. He'd almost had her admitting her feelings and he wasn't giving up now. Not when he'd already opened himself to her.

"Makoto, where have you been?" Rei asked as her friend ran through the living room looking as though Satan himself were pursuing her.

"Long-story-can't-say-Trowa-wet-I-laugh-I-run-he-chase-bye!" Makoto said in one breath. She turned with a frightful look behind her as she heard the door open and took off again. Seconds later, Trowa entered the living room completely soaked.

"Where is she?" he asked tightly. The girls shrugged as though they didn't know. Trowa moved to come closer as though to intimidate them.

"She ran that way!" Rei said suddenly, pointing down the hall that Makoto had run down. Trowa nodded and headed that way.

"Rei!" Minako said once Trowa had gone. "I can't believe you just ratted on Makoto like that." Rei grinned.

"I'm sorry, but he's scary when he's wet. Cute, but scary." The other girls laughed and, for a few moments, forgot their situation.

"Whoa! Trowa, what happened to you?" Duo asked the wet young man moved to stomp past him. Trowa sighed and stared at the hall ahead of him longingly before turning to Duo.

"Makoto pushed me into the pond and then ran and now I'm chasing her. Happy?" he asked before turning to walk away again. Duo stared at his friend's back as he thought of his weird behavior. He then noticed something that he couldn't help but point out.

"Trowa!" he shouted with a laugh. "You've got a weggie!"

'Gotta hide, gotta hide, gotta hide,' Makoto chanted in her head as she ran down a hall that looked, in no way, familiar to her. She ran to the closest door and opened it before running inside of the room. She closed the door and breathed a small sigh of relief. She was safe from Trowa for now.

Honestly, she had no idea why she was running other than she was afraid of what he had to say. She did like him and she hoped he felt the same, but there was a fear of him and his lifestyle. If they did begin to date and Cosmos took off, then how would they spend time together? What if he began to like someone else?

"Makoto!"

"Oh crap," Makoto whispered as she heard Trowa calling for her. She turned to run further into the room and realized it was a bedroom. Without really thinking, she moved towards the large bed in the middle of the room and hid under it, just as the door opened.

She watched in shock as wet shoes squished across the hardwood floor before stopping right in front of the bed. She heard Trowa sigh as he took off his shoes, then his pants, boxers, shirt, and socks. Makoto stared in a sort of horrific awe at the wet clothing lying on the floor.

'Trowa is not naked, Trowa is not naked, Trowa is not naked,' Makoto chanted in her head as she closed her eyes. She opened them as Trowa opened another door in his room, the bathroom she assumed, as she heard the sound of the water running in the shower. He closed the door and, after a few seconds, Makoto deemed it safe to leave the room.

She crawled from under the bed on her belly and stood. She crept towards the door as quietly as she could. Makoto was just passing by the bathroom door, when it jerked open and a naked Trowa reentered the bedroom. His eyes widened as he saw Makoto.

"Oops," she muttered unable to keep her eyes from traveling up and down his body.
