and just because it hasn't been done in awhile...
Disclaimer: I own nothing...
They returned late in the morning, Heero barely made it in before the sun rose. I know because I had been watching for them. I could feel the sun's early rays burning my skin as I stood beside the window. I watched as Duo threw his coat over Heero and they burst in the house. I moved to them and helped Heero up.
"Cutting it close aren't you?" Heero growled at me and I tipped up his chin. The whole left side of his face was burnt off. "What kept you out so long?" I asked him shaking him a little.
"They were having so much fun, I just wanted to watch the smile light up his beautiful face." I looked over to Duo who was shaking. He was on his knees and he looked almost worried.
"What are you worried about? You won't die in the sunlight." I snapped at him. Heero grabbed my throat.
"Do not presume to raise your voice at him. This was my fault." Did he care for Duo? For more than sex?
"You should sleep your wounds off my brother. I will talk to you when the Night comes." He released me and walked to Duo. The Shinigami looked up and I saw the affection in Heero's face. Duo reached out and Heero took his hand to pull him to his feet.
"Goodnight Trowa." Heero said as he brushed past me, Duo's hand still placed in his own. I swivelled to see them tromp up the stairs, whispering mentally I could tell, I would not intrude.
"Trowa. Why don't you like Duo?" Quatre's soft voice came from my side. There was a look in his eyes that I didn't care for.
"You know the history between the Vampires and the Shinigami." I ground out through clenched teeth. He smiled softly.
"I do, but Heero and Duo don't fit the profile of either."
"I can't say you're wrong there. Come little one, you must be tired." He nodded and rubbed his eyes sleepily. I smiled softly. He held out his arms and I picked him up. "Did you have fun, little one?"
"Lots, but I wished you were there. Why didn't you come?"
"I was thinking my dear one. I would not have been much fun." He crinkled his nose and shook his head.
"You're always fun Trowa, but I got a lot of new stuff. I can't wait to show you tonight." I nodded and climbed the stairs. He was already asleep by the time I climbed inside the coffin with him in my arms.
Night fell once more. I felt a hand twisted in my hair and warm breath on my neck. Bloodlust shot through my gut. He lived with me, he knew of my malice, but he retained his innocence. I sighed lightly and he snuggled closer to me. My mind wandered to the previous night and the events that occurred: Wufei was gone, Heero was angry with me, Duo, I didn't even think of him, why should I?
For Quatre.
I had to think about the Shinigami, he would be a permanent fixture in my life, if I turned Quatre. If, really, I would have to turn him. He would hate me if I turned him out when he was old enough. His education was sufficient, far beyond what they taught in schools today, but his social skills, they were for mingling with vampires and other demons of the night. Truly I was grooming him, grooming him to become a true child of the night. He muttered something in his sleep and I turned to look at him. His features were flawless. I reached up and brought his hand out of my hair. He opened his eyes, there was no sleep in them. He had been awake for some time.
"Trowa?" He whispered in the darkness.
"Yes my little one?" He smiled a bit.
"A penny for your thoughts?" He shifted a little and I looked away from his searching eyes. "Please tell me what you're thinking about." I let my hand reach out and touch his face.
"Our future my sweet."
I'm sad to say that this fic is winding down. I'm getting to the point of ending...I believe the next chapter will skip some years...i hope i haven't done too badly with this...
Reviews are food for the fat girl! Until we meet again!
