The Dying SongTrowa got to school the morning after that dream. His mind was going over every possible solution to ruin the Wish Fairy's plan. The only thing he could think of, however, was to tell Quatre everything. He gave an unsure look just trying to imagine how Quatre would take that. He would probably think Trowa is some kind of pervert trying to get him into bed or something.
He sighed in defeat. It wasn't long before he was attacked from behind. "Yo, Tro'!!! What's with the look of complete and…utter confusion!" The persons voice signifying that it was Duo. "Did that blonde kid turn you down?"
Trowa felt his cheeks get warm as he tried to push the smaller of the two off. "Duo, I'm not even trying to get with him, okay? I just thought maybe I knew him." He rolled his eyes as trying to get Duo off was proving impossible.
Duo only smirked as he finally let go and dropped off from Trowa. "O' come on Trowa! We all know you like him! Not like it's a big secret or anything." He was about to talk more but before his could he felt the cold eyes of someone else behind him. "A-hah. Hi Hee-chan!" He chimed as he turned around to successfully glomp the rather emotionless teen.
Trowa looked over and sighed. "Thank you Heero…Not to sure how much more of Duo's talking I could handle." Heero only shrugged. "Something wrong Heero?" Trowa asked.
"Hn…" He reached up to tug slightly at Duo's braid, causing him to let go of him. "Trowa. As to what Duo was saying. It is very apparent you like him. How you have been acting the past few days is more then enough proof." Duo smirked.
"Not to mention how you just CAN'T KEEP YOU EYES OFF HIM!"
Heero pulled Duo's braid again, causing him to whine. "Silence, Maxwell, I am talking." Duo pouted and crossed his arms. Trowa rolled his eyes again and looked down the hall. "Trowa, just admit your feelings to him, nothing good will come from just holding it in like you are. And not like it isn't obvious anyway. Even Wu Fei knows you like him."
"Look. Will you guys.. please. That isn't what is on my mind right now." Trowa declared, trying to get the crush issue away for now. "Quatre is having family problems right now, and all I want to do is help him, okay?"
Heero shook his head. "Suit yourself." He looked down at his watch and let go of Duo's braid. "I have to get to the science lab. Wu Fei wanted my help with something before school started. See you Math, Trowa." He stated as he headed down the hall.
Duo let out another pout. "That's right! Don't even say Bye! Or I love you, Maxwell!!!" He sighed. "Here we go again. He does this on purpose! He knows I hate it when he doesn't acknowledge me! And now I am just going to have to torment him even more then what I already do!" He did the victory pose and smirked before turning his attention to Trowa who was carefully and quietly trying to sneak a way. "Hey Tro'! I have a question!" He stated.
Trowa jumped slightly, not liking he was caught. He looked over to Duo, slightly annoyed. "What is it?"
"What type of family problems is he having?"
Trowa looked down, not really wanting to repeat anything Quatre told him. "Sorry, I can't tell you. I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone." He stated, lying.
Duo looked around the hallway. "I see. No one can ever trust Duo. Duo isn't trustworthy enough!" He said in a whiny voice. This caused Trowa to twitch a bit
"Duo… That isn't it. Look…" He was about to say more but was interrupted by the bell. "I'll talk to you later…" He headed off to class leaving Duo just standing there.

During lunch Trowa made his way to the music room where he knew Quatre would most likely be. He stopped outside the room as he heard the sound of a violin being played. And once again, it was sad. He leaned against the wall and let the music surround him. Trowa closed his eyes developing a mental picture as to what the possible story that was being played was like.
The music stopped which signaled to Trowa it was safe to go into the room without startling him. He turned the corner and saw Quatre putting his violin into it's case. "That was beautiful, Quatre." He stated, causing Quatre to jump a little, ruining the fact Trowa didn't want to startle him. "Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."
Quatre giggled. "It's okay. I'm just a little jumpy today is all." He looked down, the usual glow of his eyes was absent and it was very apparent to Trowa. "I was just practicing one of the violin pieces I have to do in the concert next month." Trowa only nodded, watching each and every action the other did, noting how it was not his usual actions.
"Hey. Did something happen last night?" Trowa asked without thinking. His concern taking over. Quatre only turned to him with a rather distant look answering his question. "Sorry… It's alright if you don't want to talk about it." He turned to leave only to have his arm grabbed by Quatre.
"No! Please! Don't go! I don't want to be alone…" This statement startled Trowa as Quatre pulled back realizing what he just said and quickly went to cover his mouth. "I… I'm sorry. I'm out of line…"
Trowa turned to face Quatre. "I wont… go anywhere. I promise." He stated.
"Thank you, Trowa…I also… have another favor…"
Trowa tilted his head a bit and stared at Quatre quizzically, he shifted to balance his body weight onto his right leg and put his hands on his hips. "Hmn?"
Quatre put his arms around himself, almost as if trying to protect himself. "I… Want… I mean… Can I stay with you tonight?" He said in a slight whisper. Trowa nodded, noting that something was apparently wrong.
"Sure. I would love the company." He commented. "Only…Heero, and my other friends are going to be coming over tonight for a study group session…" Quatre chuckled.
"Will they have anywhere to sit?" He asked, this question making Trowa turn a bit red. "I'll take that as a no."
Trowa bit his botton lip and looked at Quatre almost pleading. "Wanna help me clean up before they come over?" Quatre nodded as he turned around to finish closing his violin case.

After school and much cleaning later, Heero and them arrived to Trowa's apartment. Trowa opened the door. "You guys are a little late." He stated motioning for them to come in. Duo only smirked and held up a bag.
"We brought snacks!" He chimed heading into the rather clean living room. He let out a whistle as he put the bag on the end table and put his hand behind his head. "Wow, Tro'. You really cleaned up today, didn't ya? Didn't think we'd be THAT special."
Heero walked over and lightly hit Duo upside the head. "Maybe he decided it was about time to clean up the mess." Trowa laughed inwardly.
"Duo's right this time, Heero." He stated as he pulled out his school books and sat down at the coffee table. "Now let's get this started." He said as he looked down the hall to his room to see the light was still on. He smiled to himself, the cleaning must of wore Quatre out. He looked back only to have six curious eyes staring at him, one of the sets of eyes having a huge grin attached to it. "What…?"
The braided boy pointed to Trowa. "What's in your room, Trowa?" Trowa twitched.
Wu Fei shook his head and sat down. "It is really none of our business mutt, now sit down and pay attention. No one is going to help you when you fall behind." Duo only pouted and sat down, Heero sitting down next to him.
Trowa gave an awkward smile at his friend and shook his head slightly. "Okay… Let's get started."
Quatre looked around the room, sitting on the edge of the bed. He tilted his head as he saw a tape with it's film pulled out. He smiled to himself. "I wonder if Trowa knows the tape is fine as long as it's not ripped." He giggled as he picked up the tape and started winding it back up. After finishing the task he looked around and spotted the tape cassette. "Hmnn… I wonder what type of music Trowa does like listening too."
He stood up went to the cassette player.

Trowa sighes as the study group finally ended. He closed and locked his door as Wu Fei left, being the last to leave. He stretched a bit and yawned looking around the clean living room. He smiled to himself and headed to his room. He opened the door and froze…
