Alright here is chapter 7. There is no Quatre smacking the crap out of Trowa, but tensions do rise yet again between them. Thank you my lovely reviewers' sparkley-tangerine, Lady11Occult, Kami-Crimson, tatoo, Luciver, and Mizuki hikari for commenting on my fic. And oh yeah just to let everyone know I really didn't like the way this chapter came out, so sorry if its bad.

Trowa's POV
/Shit I can't believe Wufei knows! He fucking knows! How the hell did he find out/ Trowa walked in a circle in the middle of his and Quatre's bedroom. It had been two hours after his 'meeting' with Wufei, but he was still furious.
/Now I know I'm going to have to tell Quatre, and I have to do it soon. / Trowa sighed and balled his fist up.
/I can't fucking believe this/ Trowa pulled back his fist and punched the wall.
/ What the hell am I supposed to do? Should I break it off with Quatre? Should I break it off with Sherry? Should I just get rid of Wufei and not worry about this problem anymore? FUCK!/ Trowa punched the wall once again and tried to regain his normally calm statue.
"Trowa?...Trowa are you okay?" Quatre walked into their bedroom and closed the door behind him. Trowa straightened up and hid his injured hand behind his back.
"Yeah I'm fine Quatre."
Quatre inspected Trowa closely and Trowa began to fidget under the intense stare of his lover. "You're lying Trowa, you're not fine." Quatre reached behind Trowa's back, took his right hand and brought the swollen knuckles to his lips. "You don't just punch walls for nothing Trowa, what's wrong?" Trowa shook his head, but Quatre stood firm. "Tell me, what's wrong, Trowa."
"It's just… I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, so my mind is preoccupied. I don't mean to worry you."
Quatre smiled, "It's my job to worry about you love, I care about you and want you to be happy. So what's wrong, is it your new job?" A thought crossed Quatre's mind "...or is it something I did? I'm sorry I couldn't sleep in with you this morning, but that meeting was very important an-"
"No, Quatre its not you really, it's me. I just have to sort out some things on my own."
Quatre frowned slightly, but nodded anyway. He understood that sometimes you had to work things out on your own, but that was no reason he wouldn't try to help in any way possible. Quatre stepped closer to Trowa. "I don't know if I can help you sort out your problems, but I can help you relax some." Quatre walked behind Trowa and started kneading Trowa's lower back. Trowa could feel some of his tension leave his body, but he moved away from Quatre's touch.
"You don't need to do that Quatre, you've been at work all day."
Quatre wrapped his arms around Trowa's back. "I don't have to, but I want to Trowa."
Quatre lifted Trowa's shirt over his head and turned him around to face him. He lifted his hand to Trowa's face and lightly trialed his index finger across Trowa's lips. "Just relax tonight, Trowa." Trowa nodded mutely and Quatre directed him to their bed. Once Trowa was lying facedown on the bed Quatre began to massage his back again. Trowa muffled a moan.
"Is this alright Trowa? I'm not pressing too hard am I?"
"Umm, no Quatre that's fine. That feels really good….so how was your day, you're home a little late."
"It was fine just one of my meetings lasted a little long. Hey, speaking of meetings how did the talk with Wufei go?"
Trowa sighed and sat up causing Quatre to stop his ministrations. /Ah Shit here it goes/
"Look Quatre about that…"
"…you didn't apologize did you Trowa?"
"Look Quatre it's more to it then that."
"You can't even do a simple thing I requested." Quatre said while quickly getting off the bed.
Trowa hopped down after him and quickly grabbed Quatre's arm pulling him back towards his chest. "No! Its not that Quatre, please just sit down and I'll explain what I mean."
Trowa released Quatre and Quatre looked at Trowa skeptically. He sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed. Trowa collected his thoughts and kneeled before Quatre. "Look I did talk to Wufei today and we did discuss… prominent issues, but Quatre I still don't think you should see him anymore."
"Dammit Trowa we already discussed this! Wufei is my friend and though you are my boyfriend and I love you, I just can't give up my friendship with him. I'm not going to simply throw away my relationship with Wufei just because you think he's flirting with me or because you have something against him. Now if this has something to do with me then you need to talk to me and not blame it on Wufei."
Trowa sighed, but nodded. "Alright I understand that, but Quatre please, do you think you can cut down the time you spend with him? Not totally cut your relationship off, but just take it down a notch, please?... For me?"
Quatre looked down at Trowa's pleading face and sighed. "Alright Trowa I wont spend so much time with him, but I'm still going to see him, he's my friend and nothing you can do can change that."
Trowa nodded again. "I understand." Trowa sat on the bed besides Quatre and lightly kissed him. "Thank you Quatre."
Quatre nodded mutely and Trowa kissed him again before announcing he was going to take a shower before laying down for bed. Quatre watched as Trowa went into the bathroom.
Once Trowa was out of sight Quatre lied back on the bed and sighed once again. / I don't know what the hell is going on anymore. Trowa's been acting really weird lately, even before Wufei. But I know something is definitely up between the two of them and I need to find out what. /
Quatre sat up on the bed and looked towards the bathroom one more time before leaving the room heading downstairs towards the living room phone. / If I can't get answers from Trowa, I'll just have to try Wufei. / Quatre dialed a number and waited two rings before someone picked up.
"Hello."
"Wufei? Hey it's me Quatre."
"Quatre! What are you calling me for?"
Quatre frowned even though the video on the phone wasn't on and Wufei couldn't see.
"I'm sorry if I called you at a wrong time Wufei."
"No No, No I'm sorry Quatre I didn't mean for it to sound like that. I just meant that I'm surprised you called me….is something wrong?"
"Well technically no, but I was wondering if we could get together for lunch again tomorrow. I know Trowa was rude the other day, but I hope that won't put a damper on our relationship."
"….Sorry Quatre but I can't tomorrow."
"….Oh, well that's okay. How about the next day then, we could-"
"No that's not going to work for me either, look how about I call you and tell you when's a good day. I have to go now, so I'll talk to you later. Bye."
Quatre stood there with the phone in his hand listening to the dial tone. He hung up the phone and shook his head. /That was definitely weird Wufei doesn't normally act like that. Now I know for a fact they are hiding something from me. /
"Quatre what are you doing down here?"
Quatre looked up at Trowa coming down the stairs in only a towel covering his lower body. Normally Quatre would stare and marvel at how gorgeous Trowa's body looked, but right now he was confused, angry, upset, and sad. He could tell two of the people he trusted the most in the world where lying to him.
"Quatre?"
Quatre looked at Trowa and forced a smile. "Oh sorry Trowa what did you say?"
"I asked what you were doing down here…are you alright?"
Quatre shook his head and hugged Trowa burying his head in the crook of Trowa's neck, breathing in the scent of the apples and cinnamon body washed he liked to use.
Trowa was surprised at the sudden show of affection by Quatre, but wrapped his arms around Quatre anyway.
"Quatre?"
"I'm fine Trowa I was just a little hungry so I decided to come down here to get a snack."
Trowa let go of Quatre and smiled. "Well how about you get something for the both of us and we can go upstairs and watch a movie?"
"Sounds great I'll be upstairs in a moment."
"Alright"
Quatre went into the kitchen and leaned against the refrigerator. /I don't know how long I can keep this façade up. I'm not only lying to Trowa, but worst of all I'm lying to myself. I need to find out what's going on behind my back and soon. /
Chapter 7 all done. Not too much going here, so it basically sucked, but I felt I had to put that in there. I just really don't like this chapter but I know the next chapter will be better because Quatre will visit Wufei and 'ask' some questions. Because Quatre hates being left in the dark so stay tuned for the next exciting episode of 'How To Tell You.' Which I promise will come out very soon. Hope everyone keeps reading.
