Thank you everyone who has read the previous chapters and is now reading chapter 3. And I am sorry for the delay.
China Dolly – Yeah. XD It is very different. Sorry it has taken me so long to update, and with such a short chappy too.
Sutoomu – I am glad you like it. And as I said, sorry it took me so long to update. It gets a bit dark in this chapter and a couple chapters afterwards, but it will stay cute overall once we get over the Trowa angst parts.
Yaeko – xD That will be explained in a later chapter, I promise.
Ai no Miko500 – Sorry I can't commit myself to update that often. And thank you for offering help, but I would like to write this on my own.
jess-eklom – Refer to what I said to yaeko.
Sekari Sumeragi – I apologize that this chapter is also short. I plan on spending most of the day tomorrow on chapter 4. It will be MUCH better then this one and the other characters will be in it. The real reason for Quatre's existence will be stated in a much later chapter, you are on the right track though.
Aishi-Cc – I am so sorry I let you down and haven't updated in a while.
Fox-chan – xD Refer to what I said to yaeko. Sorry for the cliffies.
The Truth
Trowa walked around the table and set a glass of water in front of Quatre. "I see. So that's why you don't want to go home… I guess I understand." He looked at Quatre concerned, his green eyes scanning him over in thought.
Quatre hiccupped and sniffled. "I must look rather pathetic. I mean. I don't even know you and here I am pushing my personal problems on you…" He looked up at Trowa, his eyes slightly red from crying. "I mean. I do not even know you, yet I just feel this intense trust towards you."
Trowa shook his head and took a seat next to Quatre. "Hey, its okay. I'm glad you feel that you can trust me." He looked down in thought before looking back up at the other. "I have an idea. Until you work out your problems at home, how about you stay here. I mean… I hate to say it. It gets kind of lonely here."
The blonde looked up at Trowa not sure whether to feel weak and pathetic or overjoyed. He smiled at Trowa and nodded. "I appreciate the offer, but I don't think my father would allow that." This made Trowa's heart drop a bit.
"It's okay. I understand! A-hah. Who am I trying to kid? I guess you can't solve your problem with your family if you aren't home."
Quatre just shook his head. "I suppose things happen, hmn? Thank you for listening to me, Trowa… I really appreciate it." He stood up, not even bothering with the water. "I should probably go home. Sorry I couldn't clean your house today. Perhaps if I come over again." He giggled.
Trowa rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah… Seriously. I can do that myself." He forced a smile. "Be careful heading home, okay?" Quatre only nodded and headed to the door and left.
He mentally smacked himself as he watched him leave. "Damn it, Trowa! You moron!" He shook his head and looked up to the ceiling. "I'm jumping it to quickly… I should've just asked him to stay a night, not until his family problem is solved…" He sighed and stood up and headed to his room.
Trowa reached his bed and pulled out the cassette player, pressing play, rewinding it, then pressing play again. "Quatre…" He flinched as the tape became distorted. He quickly pressed stop and opened the player and growled inwardly. He pulled the tape out and as he feared, it was ruined. "Damn cassette player!" He set it down after getting the tape out. "Why now?"
He sighed and lied down on his bed. "I feel so sleepy…" He closed his eyes and let himself drift to sleep.
---
Trowa awoke to complete silence. An even more different silence then what he was use to. He looked around only to find himself in complete darkness. He lifted his hand and moved it about, trying to see if he could feel anything. He reached to his side in hopes of finding his lamp, but to no avail, it was gone. He growled to himself again, not liking the current situation he was in.
It wasn't long before a figure appeared in front of him. And to his dismay… it was the Wish Fairy. Trowa scuffed and looked away. "And to what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked.
The Fairy only laughed. "Oh, Trowa, you look hurt." He snickered to himself, finding amusement out of Trowa's suffering. "What ever could be wrong with you? Or is it… Nooo! You mean you have met Quatre again?" This only made Trowa glare. "I told you he wouldn't remember you."
Trowa looked up at the fairy. "You're taunting me, aren't you?" The fairy smiled widely. "Why are you doing this?"
"Hmn. You wanted him to be human. It only makes since to make him have a horrible life. So that IF he ever remembers you, he will damn you to hell for making him suffer." His eyes dimmed as he looked about Trowa. "You made the wish which removed him from my care, of course I will want to get even."
Trowa gave a shocked look. "What do you mean?! You're making him suffer because of a wish I made?! Why don't you just take your anger out on me!?" His eyes narrowed. "And what do you mean I removed him from your care?"
"You see Trowa. After someone forgets their imaginary friend or… simply does not believe them anymore, they belong to me afterwards." His smile became wicked. "You see… your imagination was so wondrous you created something that grew up right a long with you. Something beautiful. I was waiting patiently for you to lose him so I could 'have' him."
"You… used me?" Trowa said, not really liking this fairy at all. "And let me guess. When I made the wish for Quatre to become human, you lost all rights to him." The fairy glared proving what Trowa said to be true. "So in order to punish me, you make Quatre's life hell so that I would helplessly watch him suffer…"
The fairy chuckled. 'You are a smart one." He vanished and appeared right next to Trowa, leaning inwards and nipping his ear. "Of course. If you want me to make his life… much more happier, you can always…" He licked his cheek. "Give yourself to me in his place." This action made Trowa shudder.
"I wont give myself to you, but I also wont just idly sit by and watch Quatre suffer…" Trowa stated, looking over to the fairy, complete distaste in his eyes. The fairy backed up, glaring. "I will save him without your unwanted help."
"So be it. But don't think I will stand by and watch you to continue to take what should be mine…" He stated and vanished.
---
Trowa jolted up from his bed and gasped sharply. He panted a bit and looked around, finding himself in his room. "So…He is involved…" He looked over at his nightstand at the tape. "Don't worry Quatre. I'll find a way to help you…"
