DUO: (stumbles around) sympathy riiiiight (falls over) ouch.
WUFIE: (roles eyes) moving on, EDOS doesn't own GW.
EDOS: She wishes she did!
EVERYONE: On with the story!
EDOS: YAY! .
DUO: are you sure your sick?
Trowa was walking down the corridor to his bedroom, it was late now, almost midnight , he'd apologised to Duo for blowing up in his face like that, he wasn't good at apologies…Trowa looked up suddenly aware that he wasn't alone in the corridor, Quatre was half kneeling half curled up on the floor in front of his bedroom door, his small frame shook with suppressed sobs.
"Quatre!" Trowa ran over to the boy, who jolted up into a sitting position.
"T…Trowa?"
"Are you alright? Your crying." Trowa reached up to wipe away a few stray tears as the slipped down Quatre's flushed cheeks. Yelping as the blonde wrapped his arms around him without warning.
"I can't do it Trowa…I can't go in there! I just…can't!" Trowa's one visible eye widened, he looked down at the blonde, slipping long fingers under Quatre's delicate chin, lifting the shorter boys face so he could see it.
"Kitten, you don't need to go in there?" Trowa half asked, confused, no one expected the blond to sleep in his own room tonite.
"But were will I sleep?" The blonde cocked his head to one side, his blue/green eyes unsure. Trowa chuckled, 'he's so cute'
"Well I thought you would be sleeping with me again, but its up to you…."
Quatre's eyes widened. "Really? You…you don't mind ?"
"Do you?" Trowa asked, leaning forward, so there faces were barely apart.
"N…n…no." The blonde managed to choke out, trying desperately to ignore his desire to throw himself at the taller boy. Unknown to him , Trowa was fighting a similar battle, he desperately wanted the blonde, but what if he went to fast? He was fairly certain the little Angle in front of him had some feelings for him, but he was so shy…What if he frightens Quatre? Both boys just sat there, neither wanting to move away from the other, but both too afraid to make the first move. A shout from somewhere in the house bought them both back to their senses, slowly Trowa moved away, silently cursing himself, Quatre doing similar.
"Bed then?" Trowa asked as he stood up.
"Yes…" They both walked silently into Trowa's room.
"Damit! I was sure they were finally going to get somewhere! Thanks a lot Wufie, just because I stepped on you toe doesn't mean you need to yell like that!" Duo scolded the raven haired youth, moving form their hiding place around the corner.
"Your heavy Maxwell! Besides, they weren't going to get anywhere just sitting there staring at each other, face it were going to have to actually do something if we want then to get together." The Chinese teen retorted.
"Heavy!" Duo's hand flew to his chest as he faked hurt. "Are you calling me fat!"
"Shut up Maxwell." The other snapped rolling his eyes at his friends antics.
Trowa rolled over in his sleep, reaching out for the smaller boy, that he knew even in his semi-conscious state should be there, when his long fingers found only pillow he forced himself to wake. Trowa sat up in the bed looking around the room, fighting not to blush as he spotted the blonde he was searching for.
Quatre was standing facing with his back turned, his school uniform lying over the back of the chair next to him, he was dressed only in a pair of slim fitting underpants (I don't know if that what you call them, but if you wondering what the hell I'm going on about think girls underwear...not pink.) Trowa forced himself to breath as the effect of the near naked blonde went straight south, his eye travelled over the slender frame, admiring the expanse of soft creamy skin, he watched, ok more stared as the boy lifted a his shirt from the chair and slipped it on, starting to button it up. Trowa gulped, he knew he shouldn't be doing this, but he couldn't help himself. He shifted, finding the tightness of his boxers incredibly uncomfortable, Quatre spun around at the sound of Trowa's movement. Obviously not having herd him wake up.
"Trowa! Oh my god!" Quatre's face went red as he ran behind the bookcase. Trowa blinked and forced himself not to think about the still half naked boy, waiting for his body to clam down before climbing out of the bed.
"Quatre, I'm sorry angel." He said hoping the blond wasn't mad at him for staring like that.
"I didn't hear you wake up…" The blond said, timidly sticking his head out around the bookcase, his cheeks still tinged pink, Trowa decided he liked it. "..How much did you see."
Trowa considered lying to him but knew he couldn't
"I woke up before you put your shirt on…" Trowa averted his gaze. "I couldn't help myself, I really am sorry." He gazed at the floor, mentally kicking himself, he was no better then that perverted stalker.
"Trowa?" Trowa looked up to see Quatre walk out from behind the bookcase, still only in his shirt and underwear, Trowa looked away again. "Trowa its ok…I don't mind that much, its not like I'm wearing any less then I would if I was swimming right?" Despite his supposed confidence Trowa noticed that the blonde was still blushing.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." Quatre smiled at him and slipped his school skirt on. Trowa observed him as he pulled his own school uniform on .
"Quatre don't you ever worry that someone will look up that skirt?"
"Well, yes…but its more comfortable, and it looks better on me then the pants." Trowa tried to visualize the slender blond in the boys uniform….yep the skirt suited him waaaaay better.
After the two of them dressed they headed down to breakfast.
The Dinging room that morning was absolute chaos, somehow every member of the house hold had managed to want breakfast at the same time. 29 girls ranging between ages 17-29 tend to make a lot of noise, and with Duo's help well…enough said.
Amongst the noise of loud talking, plates and cutlery and Duo's laughing, Trowa noticed a tall figure watching Quatre from the other end of them room, he frowned suspiciously, he'd never seen that man before.
"Quatre?"
"Hmm?" Quatre turned away from his food.
"Who's that man?" Quatre followed Trowa's gaze, and catching the other mans gaze, waved, the still unknown man nodded a greeting.
"That's Terry, he's head of security, he often doubles as my bodyguard when our family has to go to business parties and…"
"Wait…business parties?"
"Oh yeh…didn't I tell you, when I leave school I'm taking over my fathers company, for now my sisters are looking after it."
Trowa thought for a second, 'huge mansion, lots of sisters, family company, last name winner…..holy shit!'
"You're taking over Winner Corp.!" Quatre nodded, smiling at Trowa.
"yep."
Trowa was very quiet for the rest of the meal, and he was continuously giving Terry suspicious looks throughout the meal, for some reason he didn't trust that guy, for starters were had he been the night Quatre was attacked?
Duo catapulted out of his seat as the bell rang indicating break.
"Finally, I thought I was going to die from boredom!" The sighed, stretching.
"Oh you mean, while you were taking a nap!" Wufie snapped, smacking him upside the head. "Do you want to get sent home Maxwell?"
Duo rubbed the spot that the smaller teen had hit, as they walked out of the classroom.
"Chill out Fie, Mrs. Goldstien (teacher from class they were just in) wouldn't report me!"
Wufie just rolled his eyes, attaching himself to Trieze as they met him in the corridor, as the walked along Heero and Trowa also caught up with them.
"Where's Quatre?" asked Trowa, Duo tried desperately not to laugh.
"I usually meet him here…." Trieze stopped in mid sentence and scowled.
"Babe what's wrong?" Wufie asked as he followed his lover's gaze. "oh."
Quatre was backed up against a locker, a tall boy in front of him with his hands on either side of the smaller boy. He had two friends with him one on either side, and his long blond hair made Duo's look short. It was obvious that Quatre did not want to be there.
"Who is that?" Trowa ground out
"Milly." Replied Trieze his voice tense. "Excuse me a minute" Trieze walked over to the group, leaning on the lockers next to them.
"Hello Milly." Trieze said coolly, giving the taller blond a warning glare.
"Treize my dear man, how are you?" Milly replied just as coolly.
"Fine, I was wondering if you would mind terribly if I took Quatre so that we could have lunch?"
"Oh heavens no! I wouldn't want to be a cause of unnecessary starvation, please go ahead." Milly moved away from Quatre and watched as they walked over to the others who were all looking very confused.
"Ummm ok what just happened?" said Duo. "What was with the weird politeness? Unnecessary starvation…what the hell?"
"Don't' worry about it Duo." Said Trieze as they walked past
"ok…."
