Steal your Heart

"Something Terrible Comes"

Yeah! I love reviews! I know things are all weird, but that's what makes it fantastical!

Quatre's POV

I can feel something was wrong. When I saw Heero and Duo walk out together laughing, I couldn't help but feel like something was going to happen. Something bad. Duo is many things, but one of them isn't emotionally stable. I was so worried about Heero getting hurt, I completely forgot about Duo. He's been through so much.

I mean the poor guy was beaten half to death by his parents, nearly raped him, then they left him for dead in an alley. Then a bunch of street kids found him and had him steal things for them, but when he needed them they all left him to die in a collapsing building. Then that's when Shinigami found him. Took him in, trained him to be stronger and more skilled in thievery. Shinigami saved him. He was the only person that hadn't hurt him. Then he was caught and died in prison. In a way, he too had abandoned Duo. Everyone close to Duo had abandoned him. He is never going to be emotionally stable after that. He needs someone to care for him, but the only close enough to doing that is Heero, and Heero's not exactly the relationship guy. Sure Triton and me are his best friends, but friendship can only go so far.

"Triton…I think we need to go find Heero and Duo. I feel uneasy." I said looking up at my boyfriend. Who nodded and led me out. I just hope that Duo and Heero are both fine.

"Excuse me, Trowa Barton?" said a voice behind us.

"Umm…sir I think you've got the wrong man, neither of us are Tr-" I said when I turned around, but was cut off by Triton.

"What do you want Wufei? I was going home." What is going on? I thought as my boyfriend answered the man.

"Dakin has an assignment for you. He wants you to be at Pier 17 at 11:45p.m. tomorrow. He said bring Cache 34. No excuses, got it Barton?" the man said.

"Yes Wufei. I'll be there." Triton said and the man left.

"What was that about? Why did he call you Trowa Barton?" I asked a little scared. Did my boyfriend have a secret life?

"I'll tell you when we get to my place." he said and wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek.

It was weird, it felt weird. I felt like I had a complete stranger holding me. Like a weird man was the one who kissed me. It wasn't like a boyfriend. I felt like I knew nothing about him anymore. Just because of this one thing. He told me he'd never keep anything secret from me, but here it was, a strange Asian man coming up to him calling him by another name and ordering him to go somewhere with something and from higher orders? I was lost. I didn't know what was going on. Part of me felt like pushing off this 'stranger', but the part of me that loved Triton, or whatever his name is, left him holding me.

"Heero?" I called when I saw him standing looking so confused and hurt. Oh no! I knew something was going to happen.

"He…he ran away from me. He yelled, 'Why does everyone leave me?". What did he mean by that? Why did he cry? I…want to know more about him. I…I want to help him." Heero said looking so sad.

"First you got to tell me what happened."

"Well we came out here joking, but then we started to make out, and well things started to heat up, but the I felt odd, like we were moving too fast. So I got off of him. He told me that he didn't want to go too fast either, but he wanted to confirm if we had anything anyway."

"Well is there?" Triton said.

"I'm not sure. I don't think that there could ever be. I mean he's a thief, I'm a detective, I'm supposed to be arresting him, but here I am messing around with my assignment." he said. For some reason a fierce spark of anger filled me when he called Duo his 'assignment'.

I slapped him and yelled at him, "How dare you call Duo an 'assignment'! You know damn well you don't think of him as an assignment! In the beginning maybe, because you didn't know him, but I knew for a fact after you saw him you were attracted to him. Who could blame you? Sure he's a killer, sure he's a thief, but he really has nothing else! He's an orphan! His parents hurt him and left him for dead, his friends left him to die! And Shinigami, his only father-like figure died! He never really had anybody. He's been alone most of his life. Duo is a lot more complex than what he plays to be! He doesn't always think about sex, stealing, and having fun. He has a heart and all he wants is to be known, accepted, and loved. He saw you as someone who could save him because of how strong your character is. He thought you could be his emotional pillar. His wall to help him, but you go and do something stupid by thinking him as just an assignment!

"And you know you need him too! He's everything you wish you would express. He's your mirror opposite. You know that you care for him. Why is it so hard to accept that Duo isn't just an assignment anymore? He's so much more to you." I said letting out a lot more than what I intended. This is why I don't drink alcohol that much. Heero was holding his cheek where I slapped him. His eyes shone with evident shock.

"Quatre…I…I'm so sorry. I need to find Duo. I have to apologize. I don't know what to do anymore. I know I have to do my job, but my heart and mind are too drugged by all these emotions that I can't seem to think clearly. When he ran, I was so lost in confusion and pain that he left, that I couldn't move. I called out to him, but I couldn't talk. It hurt so much. I…I think I love him…I don't want to, it feels so complicated. I'm not sure what I should do." Heero said sounding unsure.

"Just do what comes naturally. You'll figure it out somehow." Triton said giving a small smile.

"Thank you both, I'm going to find Duo." Heero said and turned and ran off.

"I hope he finds him. Now let's go to your apartment so you can explain to me what happened back there." I said turning to Triton pouting. He smiled and kissed me.

When we got to his apartment I let myself plop down on his couch and leered at him.

"Quatre I know you're mad at me for not telling you about that, but please don't look at me like that." he said looking at me solemnly.

"How am I supposed to look at you? I feel like I don't even know you? What if you're hiding more from me?" I said standing wanting to cry.

"No this is the only thing, I wanted to keep it from you because I'm afraid you'd leave me."

"Is it so bad?"

"Yes. You see Quatre you are aware that I give artillery to military, but it doesn't end there. At the right price, I also sell illegal weaponry to a man named Dakin Barton. He uses the weapons for mob related things."

"Wait Barton that Asian guy called you Trowa Barton."

"Dakin Barton his my uncle, and a well known mob name. So I had to use a different alias if I was going to get a job in the government."

"So Trowa's your real name?"

"Yes."

"I've heard the name Dakin Barton, one of our staff died trying to capture him. He's been on the run for awhile."

"I know, that's why I couldn't tell you. If you knew that I was doing something illegal, you'd leave me. I had to keep it secret." he said looking down.

"I could never leave you. Although I feel betrayed, I couldn't leave you. You're the only person I have ever met that I can honestly say I love. So I guess I call you Trowa from now on huh?"

"I guess. I think you're a corrupt cop now."

"Why do you say that?" I asked confused.

"You're aiding and abiding two criminals." he said looking at me smiling.

"I guess so. So does Duo know?"

"Yeah, it's actually how he met me. I was gathering weaponry to sell to my uncle when I heard a sound behind me. He was looking at me and smirking and asked if I could give him weapons. I told him I'd give some to him at the right price. He didn't want to pay. So we started fighting. You do know that Duo uses his whip and knife to kill right? Well when we were fighting he didn't have any weapons so he had nothing, but his hands to kill with. We fought what seemed like forever, and we were both getting extremely exhausted. We decided to call it quits and make a deal. I'd give him two light weapons and he'd not kill me. He got his weapons and we started talking. He told me who he was I told him who I was. We basically formed our friendship from there. He moved in with me where he knew he'd be safe, and knowing he was a killer and trustworthy, I was safe to."

"What a strange way to make a friend." I said.

"Yeah." Trowa said chuckling.

"We should probably get some rest, I think we have to find Duo in the morning if Heero can't." I said. Trowa nodded and led me to his room and he held me and we spoke for hours and we both slept.
