Quatre walked down the stairs smiling and adjusting his shirt. "Good morning Duo, smells good."

Duo turned around wiping his hands on a towel. "You seem mighty chipper this morning. Did you punch out Trowa or something?"

"What? No, of course not, but I am going to talk to him today and I think I'm ready."

"Are you sure Quatre it is a little soon." Heero spoke up from the dining table.

Quatre smile grew. "Actually yes Heero I think I'm ready to move on or at least try to anyway."

Duo gave a knowing smile. "I know what it is, you're thinking about hooking up with Wufei aren't you."

Quatre flushed red. "What! No Duo I don't know where you are getting that from."

"Riiiigght."

"Duo stop messing with Quatre he's as red as a tomato."

That comment made Quatre blush even redder, but Duo wasn't going to lighten up.

"So Quatre really tell me…are you thinking about it?" Quatre looked at Duo's smirk then at Heero who just shrugged with a light smile on his face.

Quatre answered slowly. "Yes...I've thought about it."

"Ha!" Duo yelled triumphantly.

"But," Quatre continued. "I'm not promising anything." Quatre looked at his watch. "I have to go."

"Ah you're not going to eat with us."

Quatre smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, but I can't. But I want to thank you both for letting me stay here though. I really appreciate it."

Quatre hugged Duo and turned around and gave Heero one also. He smiled once more and waved, hopping out the door.

Duo stood waving until Quatre's car was no longer in sight. He closed the door and grinned at Heero. "20 bucks that Quatre accepts Wufei's offer."

Heero smirked. "35 dollars says he doesn't."

"Deal."


-Winner Mansion-

As soon as Quatre walked through the door Trowa was right in front of him. Trowa engulfed Quatre in a hug, but Quatre barely returned it.

"I'm so glad you're safe Quatre."

"I wasn't gone that long and besides I figured your new girlfriend would be here for you." Quatre spat out.

"Quatre I-"

"Look lets just go to the living room and talk."

Trowa nodded mutely and followed Quatre into the other room. As soon as Quatre sat down on the couch he asked the question that was bugging him the most.

"Look Trowa I want to get to the point. I want to know how long you've been seeing her."

"Quatre I don't think that's important lets just-"

"To hell it isn't!" Quatre shouted jumping off the couch. "I came to talk to you because I want answers. If you don't love me anymore fine, but at least have the decency to tell me why to my face."

Trowa looked down at his hands. He knew Quatre was right and even though he fucked up, he still had a chance to make it up to Quatre.

"I've been seeing her for about two months." Trowa spoke softly, but Quatre heard every word.

Quatre sat back on the couch his mind wheeling back to several months ago and noticed the differences immediately. He only wished he could spot it out then.

"So tell me why Trowa, please just tell me why you did it?" pleaded Quatre.

"…I just felt the spark leaving between us Quatre, you're great, you really are. Its just I started to feel like I didn't belong here anymore and then I met Sherry and she was everything I was looking for."

"So why didn't you tell me, that's how you felt Trowa. Communication is a key factor in a relationship." Quatre said standing up again.

"I know and-"

"Just forget it Trowa, I don't need this anymore. I want you to leave."

"Are…are you kicking me out?" Trowa asked flabbergasted.

"Call it whatever you like Trowa, but officially as of now we are not together anymore. If you need a few days to find a place to stay and gather your things fine, but after that, that's it Trowa." Quatre sighed and took a deep breath. "I'm going to work Trowa and when I come back I want to see that you've made some progress into leaving."

With that Quatre walked out of the house without looking back.

Trowa just stood there, mouth agape. He couldn't believe Quatre was kicking him out. Trowa didn't think Quatre had the will to do that. Suddenly his mind flashed back to the night before and his conversations with Sherry.

"I'm giving you one more chance to say it Trowa. You either stay with me and forget about him or it's over between us. And if you do happen to leave me there is no guarantee he will take e you back. So what's it going to be Trowa?"

Trowa looked at Sherry. "Its you I want Sherry. Only you."

Sherry smiled brightly. "Great so when you're going to tell him."

"Tomorrow morning."

"Great then you can move in with me, how does that sound?"

Trowa was surprised at the sudden offer, but accepted, "You know I think that will be nice."

"Yep and we can be together. No more secrets."

Trowa stood up smiling slightly now that was over not only could Quatre move on, but he could too. He really did care for Sherry despite the short amount of time they spent together, he just hoped he didn't totally ruin his relationship with Quatre, though he had an idea he did.


-Five Days Later-

"So that's everything?"

Trowa adjusted the suitcase in his hand. "Yeah that's it."

Quatre stood there awkwardly, he knew he should say something, but he didn't know what.

"Well I guess this is goodbye." Trowa moved to walk past Quatre, but stopped when Quatre called his name.

"Wait a second Trowa."

Trowa turned back around. "Yes."

"...I just want to say I wish the best for you and Sherry."

Trowa raised his eyebrows. "You really mean that?"

Quatre smiled a little. "Yes we all deserve happiness and if you're not happy with me then I can understand that. I wish you two the best of luck."

Trowa put down his suitcase and gave a quick hug to Quatre. "Thanks Quatre that means a lot to me...I... I wish the best for you also." Trowa picked his suitcase back up and walked out of the house for good.


Alright so that's it for this chapter and I'm sorry to say that this fic is coming to a close. There will probably be one more chapter after this. I've had so much fun writing this story that I'm getting a little sad, but its okay I will make the last chapter the best to my ability.
