Chapter 2 - Decisions

Well, He hoped to punch Duo's lights out, but instead the ex-Shinigami pilot stumbled backwards into a surprised Trowa. Duo's eyes started watering and his small nose that seemed to get into everyone's business, started to bleed.

" Man! Quat!" Duo wheezed while pinching his nose with his thumb and forefinger. The pinching didn't help and soon the pilot's shirt became spotted with dark red.

" Ey'd ya oh an eh tat?" (Why'd you go and do that? )

Quatre was still riled up and hissed at his "friend", "Why do you think, Duo? I come home only to find…" He choked on the last words. No! I can't cry here, not yet! Oh Allah, please help me!

Dou stared at the shaking figure in front of him. Quatre had his small fists balled up until the knuckles showed white. Duo never knew Quatre to be like this. He was always the quiet one who never got angry. Not even if you tried to kill him. But then again, Duo thought bitterly, they never tried to steal his love. " Quat, nook… Em torry. E ere nona ell ya, ut…" (Qautre look… I'm sorry. We were gonna tell ya, but…)

"Tell me what Duo! That you and Trowa were… were… " Quatre choked back a sob and looked down at his shoes. Trowa, who was standing beside Duo, walked up to Quatre. " Little one…" Trowa began placing his hand on Quatre's shoulder. Quatre jerked away from his touch. "Don't touch me!" He screamed backing towards the door, leading back into the kitchen. Trowa followed him and tried again to calm the little Arabian down. "It's okay."

"It's not okay! How can it be okay! I thought you only wanted me. I thought you lov…" Yet again, Quatre couldn't finish his statement. He tried his best to hold back the tears, but they came anyway. Trowa stopped advancing on Quatre and watched the little one cry. Duo saw this and noted the look in Trowa's eye. He only looks at him that way… darn it! Why'd he have to show up here now? As Duo thought, his anger kept building up. He knew he should calm down, but he couldn't stand for Trowa to look at Quatre like that. That sympathetic look that says " I'll do anything and everything to ensure your happiness." You're supposed to look at me like that.

"C' mon, Quatre! It's not going to be the end of the world. Trowa has tried to tell you!" Duo blurted out. "You should have learned to listen."

"Baka" Trowa murmured under his breath. He knew that Quatre could only take so much before he lost it. Trowa glanced at Quatre when he heard an awkward sound escape from his small lips. Duo heard it too and slowly took a step towards Trowa. They stood there in silence watching Quatre, but he didn't make a move, or any other sounds. He just stood in the doorframe with his hands clutched into fists and his head bowed towards his small chest.

"Fine." It was said at a whisper and the two watchful pilots would have missed, if not for the fact that they waited for it. Quatre looked at Duo then at Trowa. Taking his time peering at them, studying them. Then abruptly turned on his heel and stalked away. Trowa and Duo were frozen in place as if they were victims of a spell. What was that look in Quatre's eyes? They had both saw it and for some reason it didn't seem to fit the beautiful eyes of their friend. They stood in the vestibule, lost in their thoughts, until the sound of a car brought them back. It was Quatre, and he was leaving.

Lady Une sat in her office going over the mission reports that she received earlier that day. She glanced down to see the Yui's signature and the reference number. She sighed and began reading. Of course she knew it was useless. Yui did everything by the book. His reports were always accurate and informative. Sometimes a little too informative for her tastes, but they were never, never wrong or fake, like Maxwell's seemed to always be. She giggled to herself, upon thinking about the happy pilot and a report he once gave her She read the report and found many mentions of giant monsters with red eyes and plenty of girls in distress, almost always wearing a bikini. She had taken the report back to him and demanded an explanation. He simply smiled and said that reports were boring and he wanted to make them more interesting. She called him into her office and gave him a lecture that he's heard over a dozen of times. All the while he kept insisting that he was better than Yui's "blah, blah, then I took a wiz… blah, blah" reports. It took all her might not to laugh at his jokes, especially since they were true.

A knock at the door brought her out of her daydream. " Come in", she stated flatly, hoping whoever it was would get the point and leave her alone. It's probably Chang with his reports. Imagine her shock, when it was actually the quiet blonde Winner's boy.

" It's good to see you Winner" She motioned him to sit down and as he moved slowly to the chair, she noticed the slight flush on his cheeks.

"Is everything alright?" She asked giving him a concerned look. He smiled sadly and nodded his head slowly.

" Lady Une, I was wondering if you knew of any open safe houses in the area?"

At this she raised her eyebrow and gave Quatre a questioning look.

" And why, may I ask?" There had to be a real good reason for Quatre to ask for another safe house and she was determined to find out. She watched as he started to pick at some invisible lint that only he could see. "I was hoping to be able to live there for only a short while." He stopped his sentence there purposely, she noted.

Quatre stirred uneasily under Lady Une's stare. He knew what she wanted. She wanted an explanation as to why he was going to move out of the mansion, his mansion and live at a safe house. But He really didn't want to make it known that it was because he was betrayed by his best friend and his love. No! Not anymore. He's someone else's love now. He looked up at Lady Une to notice that she was waiting for him to answer a question, but he was too lost in his thoughts to hear. " Err… I'm sorry, what was your question, Lady Une?"

"I asked if everything was alright between you and the rest of the pilots?" That wasn't her question. Her originally question asked about him and a certain pilot. But it was obvious now that is was.

Quatre nodded his head thoughtfully and said that the pilots were all getting along except for Wufei and Duo, but that was expected. Lady Une sighed again and shook her head slightly. She was going to get nowhere. Out of all of the pilots., Winner was the best when it came to beating around the bush. " Alright Winner. Let me check to see if we have any opened." Lady Une said as she got up from behind her desk and started for the door. "I'll only be a minute" And with that she walked out, shutting the door behind her.

Quatre sat in the uncomfortable office chair, counting down the seconds as he waited for Lady Une to come back. But no matter how hard he tried; he couldn't keep his thoughts from staying to Trowa and Duo. He shook his head violently to scatter the unwanted thoughts and decided to instead busy himself with tapping out a rhythm on his knee and singing along with the beat. " Momma said there'd be days like this, there'd be days like this my Momma said… Momma said , Momma said…" Quatre suddenly stopped and wondered where in the world that song came from. He shook his head lightly while deciding it was probably from Duo. Once again, his mind flashed back to the new couple. STOP! Quatre smacked his forehead, just as Lady Une walked in the door. She looked at him quizzically, while setting down a piece of paper on her desk. Quatre blushed furiously and mumbled something about a mosquito.

Lady Une studied him for a moment before asking, rather seriously, "Are you sure you won't to do this?"

Quatre looked at her in surprise and nodded his head. "Of course! I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want to." Lady Une sighed again, IT was becoming a habit of hers, and handed him the paper she had brought in.

" This safe house is located in the downtown region of the city. There is nothing special about it. It's your typically apartment, set with a roommate. And that's where the problem happens."

Quatre looked up from the paper he had been studying to look at Lady Une. " Problem?"

"It seems that the roommate is 'difficult', as I heard it put."

Quatre looked incredulous. "What do you mean, 'difficult'? It can't be any worse than living with Heero." Lady Une looked at Quatre seriously before continuing.

"This particular individual has gone through 6 roommates in less than a year's time and the last one didn't even stay a week. Now tell me how that can't mean this person is 'difficult?'" Quatre sat in silence and stared at the picture of his soon to be new place.

" It can't be as bad as they say it is. I'll give it a shot." Quatre stated boldly, straightening his back while handing the paper back to Lady Une. Lady Une shook her head and signed the transfer papers. " Well, Winner, I hope you're right." She handed him back his papers and gave him the order and deadline to be moved to his new apartment. On the way out of Lady Une's office, Quatre paused at the door and turned back to his senior officer. "By the way, who is my new roommate?" Lady Une flipped though the copies on her desk and stated flatly,

" Aino Minako"
