I closed my eyes and moved my mouth against Trowa's. It got hot real fast. He was trying to crawl into me through my mouth. It was something that I had never experienced with Heero. Trowa was trying to drink me up. His hands came up and cupped my face gently. This felt so right.
Eventually we broke for air and Trowa rested his forehead against mine. I inhaled and exhaled for a few minutes before I could gain enough control of my body to talk. Trowa seemed to have the problem.
"That…was amazing. You can't deny that there wasn't something there Duo." Trowa said. I was shocked that he was the first one to speak between the two of us.
"When did I fall for my best friend?" I asked in hushed whisper. It seemed impossible that I fell in love with him. I thought I was still in love with Heero. But now that I look back at the past few years…Trowa was always there for me, no matter what. He tried his best to make me happy and I didn't even notice it.
Trowa laughed. "I believe you just realized it now. But it could have been at any time Duo."
I smiled. "You're right; it could have been at any time. But right now, I want my little girl back. And I'm sure you want her back as well."
Trowa's eyes hardened. "We will love. But right now let Une handle Helen. We need to worry about your cancer."
"Damnit Trowa…I want to hold my child again. I won't have the surgery until we've found Helen." I stared at him.
Trowa sighed. "I know that you won't change your mind, so we'll wait until we find Helen."
"We will find her won't we Tro?"
"Yes we will. But right now let's get rest while Une is looking up leads."
I nodded my head and allowed Trowa to pick me up. He carried me to my room and laid me on the bed. He slipped my shoes off and put them under my bed. He pulled the covers down and pulled them over me. He went to walk away, but I grabbed his hand.
"Will you please stay here tonight? I won't be able to sleep otherwise." I explained. My voice was child like.
Trowa nodded, not breaking eye contact. He slipped his own shoes off and slipped under the covers.
I laid my head on his chest and closed my eyes. The soft beat of his heart lulled me to sleep. I knew that it would take awhile for Trowa to join me in sleep land. His ex-lover was outside looking in at us, probably thinking of revenge against us.

The morning light warmed my face and woke me up. I looked up and Trowa was staring at me with a gentle smiling lighting his face. I smiled back and leaned up to kiss him. It would have been the perfect if my daughter had not been missing.
"You actually slept last night. I'm surprised. Normally you don't get much sleep." He said leaning his head to the side.
"You're right. But we'll figure out why later. I want my daughter and I want her now. Has Une called?" I asked about the time the power went out.
"Damnit…the bastards cut the power. And the generator's broke." Trowa swore.
"Here." I handed Trowa a Browning that I fetched from under the pillow. He looked at me. "What? Some habits are hard to kill."
He nodded and we got out of the bed and left the room. We were hunting trespassers in our own house.
