Quatre rolled over and opened one eye to find that Trowa was still asleep. He hated lying to his lover, but sometimes he had to. He knew that one day his lies would catch up to him and cause a major disaster. But if he told Trowa about his secret, the older teen would just about dump him complaining that the blonde was insane. The blonde slowly got out of bed and grabbed his house robe. Quietly making his way to the kitchen, Quatre could hear that someone else had beaten him there. Blinking, Quatre took a seat across the table from his American friend. Duo was pushing his breakfast from one side of his plate to the other, staring at it with a dazed look.
"Duo? You okay?"
"I feel sick today."
"That doesn't suprise me. Look what we did last night."
Duo looked up at his blonde friend and gave a slight smile. Remember back to what they had done, he began coughing. Quatre got up and got the braided boy a glass of water. When Duo had finished his coughing fit, Quatre tried to continue.
"Smoke still getting to you?"
"Maybe. Did you tell Trowa where we were actually?"
"No. I don't think he's ready for that. One day maybe."
"Time's running out for us. Have you been told when you have to leave?"
"Not yet. It's soon though. I hate to leave him behind."
Duo looked at Quatre and frowned. He knew his blonde friend wanted to spend the rest of his days with Trowa, and he wanted to spend the rest of his days with Heero, but with their lives, they couldn't possibly do that. It would go against the contract they both signed. Sighing both teens glanced at the doorway and saw both thier loves standing there.
"Heero, Trowa! Don't sneak up on us like that!"
"Yeah. We could've died from a heart attack you know?"
"I seriously doubt that, Duo."
Trowa stared at Quatre. The aqua eyes from the blonde didn't have the shine like they normally did when he saw his love. Questioning the younger one with his eyes, Trowa recieved no answer but a shrug. Duo and Heero were now talking quietly to each other so that the other two wouldn't over hear them. Quatre stood and walked out of the room. When he made sure that they were out of hears reach, he turned and wrapped his arms around the taller ex-pilot. Trowa wasn't expecting this gesture, and slowly did the same. Not knowing what to say, each boy stood there holding on to each other.
"Trowa. How much did you hear?"
"Hear what? You two weren't even talking when we walked in."
Quatre gave a silent prayer and looked up into his love's face. Smiling a little, he gave the older boy a kiss on the lips. Trowa had no objection to this. Holding each other in an embrace, they forgot about everyone else in the house.
"If you two are going to do that, then get a room."
Both teens turned to see Wufei standing there with a smile on his face. Over the years, Wufei had become more comfortable with the other fours feelings for each other. He used to get all nauses and had nose bleeds. Now he barely got both. Wufei continued out the front door. He wanted to avoid walking into the same situation in the kitchen. Quatre pulled away from Trowa and smiled.
"I love you Trowa. I always will."
"Ditto. Why are you like this all of a sudden, Quatre?"
"Because we never know what's going to happen in the future."
"Are you going to go somewhere and not come back, little one?"
"No, I'm staying here with you. It's just that either one of us knows if we'll be here in five minutes."
"Don't talk like that love."
"It's the truth though."
Trowa pulled Quatre close to him and held him tight. He couldn't believe that his love was talking like this. They had survived the war together and now Quatre was saying that at any given moment he could leave without a moments hesitation. Trowa felt Quatre lose his balance and looked down at the blonde. He was crying and shaking.
"Quatre what's wrong?"
"Tro...Trowa. I'm fine."
"No you're not! Tell me what's going on this instant!"
"Nothing Trowa."
Trowa turned towards the kitchen when he heard Heero yell Duo's name. Something was happening to the two teens. Both were now shaking extremely hard. Carrying each of them upstairs, Heero and Trowa pilled blankets upon blankets on the two younger boys. Even that didn't seem to get the chill out of them.
