Chapter 4"This mission, it's fake."
Heero's words met silence and he looked round at his teammates. Wufei's forehead was clenched in concretion, Trowa was glazing blankly at the floor beside his feet but Heero knew there was thinking behind the blank look. Quatre was looking worried and Duo was staring at Heero with a look of be wildness.
"What the fuck?" Duo swore at Heero.
"I got a e-mail from J telling me he never assigned us this mission." Heero stated calmly.
"You are telling me that I have to pretend to be a girl for no reason at all!!!" Duo yelled.
"What else did J say?"
"He told us to lay low here until the enemy shows himself."
Duo glared at everyone else. "That does it! What kind of a sicko tells us to dress up as girls and leaves us here?!"
"Keep cool Maxwell. A clear head will help us more than a angry one." Wufei looked at the other pilots. "So we are staying."
"There is more isn't there Heero?" Quatre asked quietly silencing Duo's rants of injustice that made even Wufei raise an eyebrow at.
"The man that sent us this mission has gotten in contract with me. He asked if we were all in place and said he would get in contract with me again later on." Heero stood up and directed the others to do the same.
"It would be in our best interests to stay here." Trowa pointed out. "He obviously wants something from us and we can't act until we know what."
The others agreed and Trowa gave Quatre a quick kiss goodnight before leaving with Wufei. Heero turned to Duo.
"Be careful with this girl, she might know who you are. Good night."
As the door banged shut Duo turned to Quatre and sighed.
"Great!"
Quatre couldn't believe his ears as Trowa turned and walked away. They had just had their first argument and it hadn't been pleasant!
A few minutes early.
"What do you mean?" Quatre hissed at Trowa.
"I want to go round with one of us at all times. Stay with Danielle as much as possible."
"Why?"
"I want to protect you, but can't. Danielle will."
"I don't want protection from you or Danielle!!!" Quatre hissed again. "I can looked after myself you know."
"Just do what I say." Trowa didn't want to push Quatre around but the blond pilot was a bit naive sometimes. With that last comment he turned and walked away leaving Quatre standing there, his fists clenched!
"I'm not yours to own!" Quatre yelled in Trowa's wake and the taller boy stiffen.
"I'm just protecting you."
"You are acting like my mother Trowa! You become Catherine more and more each day and you can't order me about!"
A hand landed on Quatre's shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze.
"Chill Kat."
Quatre shrugged the hand away and was about to chase after Trowa when the hand replaced itself.
"You aren't going any where Quatre." The voice whispered in his ear.
"Go away Duo!" Quatre grounded back.
"Things aren't going to get better if you go running after him right now. Give Trowa a day on his own and then approach him."
Quatre glanced back at his braided friend.
"Really?"
"Of course. He was only looking out for you but he just told you what you were going to do. He shouldn't order you but then you should pay heed to his words. After all we know nothing about this man, damn it might even be a women and to tell you the truth. I would rather hang with you than that creep who is after my hair."
Quatre laughed and flicked his own hair over his shoulder.
"So Elli, where you wanna hang?"
"The football stands. The team are training!"
Trowa stormed through the corridors towards his dorm. He couldn't believe he had just tried to do that to Quatre. He knew what it felt like to have some one own him. The pain of someone ordering you and forcing you into submission. How could he even think of doing that to his Angel?
"Easy Barton."
Trowa had slammed the door shut and thrown himself on to the bed. He glared at the Chinese pilot and then at Heero who entered the room wrapped in just a small hand towel round his waist.
"What's wrong?"
Trowa ignored the question and rubbed his temple trying to clear his head.
"Quatre?" Heero asked.
Trowa sat up and snapped. "None of your business."
"If it interferes with the mission it is my business." Heero reply in his normally monotone.
"Well this doesn't interfere with the mission alright? Cause there isn't a fucking mission Yuy!"
Heero blinked at Trowa's outburst but recollected himself quickly.
"There is something wrong Trowa. You can't hide from me. What is it?"
"I…"
A knock at the door interrupted Trowa and Heero opened it and it burst a hyperactive Brady.
"Good morning fellow students. Oh my." Brady's eyes widen at the sight of a nearly naked Heero with water dripping down his chest from his still wet hair.
"What do you want?" Heero snarled.
"I can't remember."
"Then get out!"
"Oh that's it!" The blue eyes travelled up and down Heero's body as Brady spoke. "I have a message for you."
There was silence for a second before Heero promoted Brady. "Well?"
There's an e-mail here." Brady pulled out a sheet of paper and handed it to Heero's, their hands touch briefly and Brady held on for a second longer than need be.
Heero quickly scanned the mail and hissed. "Shit!"
"What is it?" Wufei asked.
"Get Dan and Kat up here." Heero ordered.
"I saw them by the football pitch." Brady informed the gundam pilots.
"I'll get them." Trowa told them as he headed out of the room.
"I don't get you Kat. He tries to force you into obeying him and you still want to be with him?" Nerys was laying on her back beside Quatre and Duo. Cassie was talking to a group of players over by the sidelines.
"You see Nerys Trowa has had a really bad childhood and he knows he shouldn't have ordered me about like that but he did and I'm sure he'll come and apologise for it."
"For Trowa is say Sorry is like getting Heero to say he loves me." Duo said running his hand through the many braids of glass.
"Heero has never told you he loves you?"
"We've only been together two weeks." Duo stood up to Heero's defence.
"Yeah but that is still pretty poor don't cha think?"
"With Heero you get use to it." Duo sat up and looked across at the glowing view. "It's hard to understand him, sometimes he acts like a brick wall but then sometimes he acts like this lost child just after a little bit of love."
"I'm sure he does love you Elli. Anyone would."
Duo smiled at Nerys. "Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Trowa watched the two other pilots talk and slowly he approached.
"Quat… Katie?"
"Trowa."
The whole of Quatre's face lit up as his boyfriend came near.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done what I did."
"I understand Trowa." Quatre throw himself into Trowa's waiting arms and Duo laid back on the grass.
"Maybe there is hope for me yet!"
"Danielle Heero wants a word with us!" Trowa looked across the blond pilot's head and almost smirked at the look of Duo's face.
"Don't forget Saturday Katie." Nerys reminded Quatre.
"K."
"Saturday?" Trowa asked.
"Me and Quarter are off out for a girls night out!" Duo grinned widely at Trowa as he led the way.
Duo knocked on the door to reveal a pissed Wufei.
"What?"
"I think this would look just great on you."
Duo's eyes narrowed at the sound of Brady's voice and he pushed roughly pass Wufei and into the dorm where Brady was holding out a shirt to Heero who was still wearing just a towel.
"What's going on here?!"
Duo jumped in front of Heero to shield him from Brady and glared at the blond boy.
"What do you think you are doing?!" Duo hissed as he grabbed the offered shirt and passed it to Heero.
Quatre turned to Trowa.
"I didn't mean what I said Trowa. I was really angry."
"I understand Love." Trowa smiled slightly at Quatre and leaned down to give his koi a gentle kiss.
"GET OUT!!!" Duo's voice broke the love spell and Brady was sent running to the door by one very pissed off Duo.
"I have to cancel that date Nerys set me up with, Duo."
Duo glanced up from the doujinish and nodded at Quatre. "That's understandable."
"I don't want Trowa to find out."
"And with this maniac about you don't wanna go out any way without someone." And seeing the look on Quatre's face Duo quickly added, "I don't that's for sure."
After Brady had made a quick getaway and Heero had dressed the gundam pilots had sat down and discussed the e-mail. It was a threat that if the pilots made any attempt to move/change/leave the school for good then slowly one by one students would be killed. Duo had joked saying maybe Brady would be killed first but Heero had silenced him with *that* look. "It would give away who we are." Wufei had pointed out and in a gloomy depression Quatre and Duo left quietly.
"But then it wouldn't be fair on the boy if you turned him down at such a short a notice."
Quatre sighed. "I'll have to explain to him there is someone else."
Duo choked. "Good one. I'll keep Trowa busy while you tell Nerys's brother the truth!" So the plan was set.
"Trowa! Hay Trowa!!!!"
Trowa turned to face the braided girl as she skidded to a stop beside him. Her brightly flushed cheeks and glossy pink lips made Duo look too much like a female for his own good. Trowa glared at the pilot in drag and slammed his locker shut.
"What?"
"I need your help."
"What with?"
"Um… It's a boy matter."
Trowa couldn't stop his eyes from narrowing at Duo's words but he nodded and let Duo lean in close enough to whisper in his ear.
"You see last night I was in the shower and I started to think about Heero but the normal reaction didn't, um… happen."
Trowa watched as Duo's cheeks turned a bright red.
"I think there might be something wrong." Duo muttered.
"Don't worry Elli, this just proves that the feelings you feel for Heero are more than just lust!"
Duo nodded and looked to his right and as Trowa started to move away he reached out to grab his arm.
"And there is something else as well…"
Quatre smiled at the tall boy in front of him, he looked like Nerys. Ginger nut hair and green eyes.
"Listen Sam, I'm really honoured that you like me but I've got a boyfriend and I really love him so I'm afraid I can't go out with you on Saturday."
Sam looked a bit downtrodden but he still managed to smile. "That's ok Katie. You seem like a lovely girl and I bet he is worth everything."
"Yeah he is…"
Trowa glanced over Duo's shoulder and say Quatre talking to another boy. He felt his angry grow and he tried to push pass the braided pilot.
"What? Trowa?"
"I'll be back in a minute." Trowa promised as he started to walk towards Quatre.
"Oh no! Trowa wait I need…"
Unsure of what to do to keep Trowa away from reaching Quatre Duo grabbed Trowa and tugged him round and stuck his tongue down his best friend's boyfriend's throat.
Quatre's eyes widen as he watched Duo and Trowa shared a spit-swapping kiss. He smirked understanding that Trowa had been heading over here. He quickly excused himself from Sam's side and hurried over as Duo broke the kiss, mumbled an apologise and ran away quickly not seeing the pair of prussian blue eyes watching him.
"Trowa?"
Trowa blinked blankly at Quatre.
"Are you alright?"
Trowa continued to stare at Quatre.
"Answer me please Trowa."
"Tell me why Duo just stuck his tongue in my throat and it better be one hell of a good reason."
Quatre lowered his gaze. "I didn't want you to find out, Duo was meant to keep you distracted."
"I had 15 minutes of hearing about Duo's problems that now I realise aren't true and I want a reason Katie." Trowa spat the fake name.
"Nerys set me up on a date and I had to call it of but didn't want you… Trowa!!!"
Duo lowered his eyes as Trowa stormed away from Quatre.
"Damn you Maxwell, why does everything I help people with fuck up?" Duo hissed at himself curling his hands into fist and squeezed his eyes shut. "I tried to help Quatre but all I've done is thrown him further into it."
TBC…
That was really ooc for Trowa wasn't it? Sorry guys but I've never been good with 3x4x3 fics and I'm trying to make it better than it could be by putting it in a 1x2x1 fic.
Was I the only one who noticed that Heero spent this part in a bath towel and nothing else?
Please review cause I love hearing good things!!! BYE!
