So I uploaded a chapter to another fic I started long ago and I realized some time ago I had finished this and never uploaded the chapter. Short and sweet but hopefully this will give closure to anyone who might still want it. 3 Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed this. I love you guys.

"I figured it would be ok to bring her right away," Hilde said from behind the girl. Quatre smiled and nodded. Catherine finally let go of her little brother and turned to look at Quatre who blushed furiously.

"Quatre is my-"

"I know. I did talk to Hilde before coming here," she responded, punching him playfully in the shoulder. "It's a pleasure to meet you Quatre. I hate to do this to you, but do you think I could steal my brother away for a few hours? We have a lot of catching up to do."

"It's no problem at all. Why don't we meet up for dinner somewhere?" Trowa smiled and pulled Quatre close. He leaned down to kiss him and smiled.

"I love you," he said.

"I love you," Quatre replied. Hilde stayed to keep Quatre company as Catherine and Trowa went walking through the city.

"So…" Catherine said, looking at the floor smiling.

"So?" Trowa asked.

"Tell me all about him! What do you think? I want to hear all about the guy that's been taking care of my little brother!" Cathy replied.

"Well you know about Zechs, right?"

"Yeah…"

"Well I don't know what Hilde told you, but there's a lot more than she knows," Trowa said. He explained everything about Zechs, from his original point of view. "So I was looking for a new model, to take all my pain out on. I wanted to destroy someone else's beauty and innocence on the canvas, and when I saw Quatre… All that hate just… dissipated. From the moment our eyes connected I knew it had to be him. Over the months that passed, we got closer. It was really hard on him too, because of what Zechs had done, but he stuck it out because he loves me. The only problem with that was a few old friends showed up…" He explained everything that had only just now been resolved, and his reconciliation with Zechs and decision to stay with Quatre.

"I could tell the moment I saw him that he was a good guy," Catherine assured Trowa. She smiled brightly at him. He hugged her tightly and inhaled shakily. "What's wrong Trowa?"

"I had started to think that everything had gone wrong in my life. I had really started thinking I was going to be alone forever. Then Quatre walked into my life. And things got crazy again with Zechs, but it all worked out. And on top of all that, you show up at the door the next morning. I haven't felt so happy in such a long time," Trowa said. Catherine looked up at him and wiped a tear from his eyes.

"That's so wonderful Trowa. Don't think for a minute that I wasn't looking for you! I did what I could in Los Angeles to find you. I even went to mom, but she didn't help any. I heard from a few people that you had gotten pretty famous with a few of your paintings, so I thought if I traveled I was bound to run into you somewhere. I knew how you loved the circus when we were kids. I was hoping you would find me. I guess it's just luck that we both ended up being friends with Hilde huh?" Catherine said.

"Yeah. She's done a lot for me and Quatre. She deserves a night on the town," Trowa responded.

"It's getting late, we should get back," Catherine suggested. In the short time she was there, she bonded with Trowa and his boyfriend. They insisted she come back for the holidays. They went to her show and met the people she worked with and Trowa treated her to dinner alone the last night she was in town. Trowa brought her back to his apartment to give her a gift but when he turned around she was gone. He scratched his head.

"Just a minute!" Quatre called to the knock at his door. He wrapped a towel around his naked frame. He had been planning on taking a shower, but apparently, Trowa didn't intend for him to. "Why didn't you just use your key?" he asked, opening the door. He turned bright red seeing Catherine standing there, who also blushed.

"I just wanted to come to say goodbye. Apparently I caught you at a bad time," she said with a giggle.

"Come in, I'll put some clothes on," Quatre insisted.

"Oh no, don't worry about it," she insisted in return. She moved in close and hugged him tightly, whispering, "You take care of my brother. I'm counting on you to watch over him since I can't be here. You've really helped me out all this time. Thank you so much." Quatre hugged her with one arm, hesitant to remove his other hand from his towel in fear it would fall off.

"Having a tryst with my sister?" Trowa asked with a laugh behind the pair.

"Of course not!" Quatre hissed in embarrassment.

"Here Catherine, this is for you," Trowa said, handing her a box. She removed the wrapping and looked inside. She smiled brightly. It was a very small portrait of her in her circus outfit, throwing her knife into the background.

"Thank you Trowa. Just remember what I said Quatre," she said with a smile.

"What did she say?" Trowa asked as she walked off down the hall. Quatre smiled. "What?"

"She just thanked me for taking care of you. And that I should continue to take care of you," Quatre answered. Trowa came in and closed the door and pulled Quatre close to him.

"I think there's something you should let me take care of tonight," Trowa whispered huskily in his ear.

"I was trying to take a shower," Quatre said with mock disinterest. Trowa chased him into the bathroom where they once again made love. "You just can't seem to let me shower alone."

"Does that bother you?"

"No… Actually, it really turns me on when we're in the shower," Quatre whispered into his ear.

"Are you encouraging another round?" Trowa asked with a smirk. Quatre looked innocently away.

"I'm encouraging anything you want to give me," Quatre answered with a sweet smile.

"That's easy," Trowa said.

"Yeah? What is it?" Quatre asked. Trowa leaned down and kissed the blonde until they were almost breathless.

"Forever," he whispered with a warm smile.

"Forever," Quatre agreed in a soft whisper.

That night as they lay in bed both fell asleep realizing just how lucky they had ended up. All the hardships they had faced, all the problems they'd gone through, how they had almost lost each other. With Quatre's appearance, despite these horrible things that had occurred, Trowa's whole world had come back to him. Trowa would spend the rest of his life making Quatre realize just how much he had done for him. And Quatre would finally be fulfilled, having saved Trowa from his demons. They would have forever to explore each other completely, body and soul, until they truly became one. The time they would be forever entwined, soul mates.
