Disclaimer: I do NOT own Mobile Suit Gundam Wing and it's characters. If I did there would be at least another 49 episodes extra, and Milliardo would appear more often ;)

Previous time:

'But I'm not going to tell them now…I'll wait for the best moment. I don't want to tell them when they're busy with something else or so. Just give me my time to tell them, okay?'
'Of course! I won't bother you anymore in that.' She said and winked. 'So, wanna go outside? It's beautiful weather.'
'It's ice cold outside.' Complained the tiger.
'But the sun is shining, and you need some fresh air. You've been inside for ages.'
'Sure, but not too long. I still can't walk great distances.'
'I know. Don't worry. We can stay near the estate. C'mon. Let's go!'

Chapter 8 (Not revised)

Noin and Milliardo were outside, playing like they were little kids. Noin had found a ball somewhere, and was playing with the tiger as if he was just a little kitten.
'C'mon, you can catch it!' she teased and threw the ball in Milliardos direction.
'I'm not a baby anymore!' joked the white tiger back, running after the ball. Just when he wanted to grab the ball with his
paws he saw someone else pick it up.
'Trowa! Hi. I didn't know you were outside.' Said Milliardo purring.
'Neither did I know you were outside. Isn't it too cold for you?' he asked concerned kneeling on one knee, lying his hand on the blonds head.
'I've got a fur, remember…' he teased.
'Milliardo! Are you coming back? Did the ball grow wings and flew off or something?'
'Coming!' answered the blond. 'Wanna play with us?' asked Milliardo to Trowa.
'Sure. I'd like to.' He said smiling.
'O, hi Trowa. So that was taking you so long.' She said winking to the tiger.
'I asked Trowa to play with us, is that okay with you?' asked Milliardo circling around Trowa's legs.
'Of course.' Said Noin smiling.

The three youngsters played for about half an hour, until Treize called Trowa inside.
'I'm coming Master.' Answered the brunette. 'Are you two coming inside with me?' asked Trowa.
'Yeah sure.' Said Milliardo. 'I'm getting tired anyway.' He added. 'Any idea why Master Treize asked for you?'
'Nope.' Said Trowa smiling. 'We'll see when we are inside.'
Inside.
'Master?' asked Trowa when he came in, followed by Milliardo and Noin.
'Just a second Trowa.' He said finishing his phone call.
'Hey Milliardo. I didn't know you were with Trowa.' Said Treize surprised.
'I wasn't.' joked Mil. 'We ran into each other.' He added smiling.
'I see. Anyway, Trowa? I've got something to do for you. Dermail called and…'
Noin coughed and said: 'We'll leave you two alone.' She said pulling the tiger with her.
'Hey!' protested Milliardo, but he let himself be pulled away. 'I'm sorry your excellency.' She apologised and left.
'Where did you do that for! I hate Dermail, but that doesn't mean that every time his name is mentioned I have to leave!' snapped Milliardo.
'You say that now, but what if what Treize was going to tell was something that would make you lose your temper? You're in
your tiger form now Milliardo! You're much more sensitive to anger than normally, and we can't have you go crazy.'
'I know… I know…sorry for my outburst…'

In the meantime in Treize's office.

'Is it still a problem for Milliardo to even talk about that man?' asked Trowa who had sat down in a chair.
'It seems so…' said Treize. 'Anyway. Dermail called to ask for you help on one of his horses. The veterinarian he normally
calls is sick, and he doesn't trust strangers.'
'Aren't I a stranger to him too?'
'Perhaps, but he knows me. And he insisted that if you came to take care of the horse that I should be present.'
'I see. So he still wants to keep an eye on me. Sounds logical…for him…anyway. Did he tell what symptoms the horse has?'
'No. He asked for you, and then he hung up.'
'Strange.' Said Trowa standing up. 'Anyway, I'll go…'
'Thanks for that Trowa.' Said Treize sincerely.
'…though Dermail couldn't have planned it on a better time.' Added the brunette sarcastic. 'I finally had some time together with Milliardo…'
'You had? Did he tell you anything?' asked the colonel interested.
'No, not yet. We were just playing. We didn't have the change to talk alone, 'cause miss Noin was around.'
'If you want, I can call her inside if you want to.'
'No! You don't have to do that! Noin could be the key to get Milliardo open up to us again. We just have to wait until
Milliardo tells it himself.'
'I agree in that.' Said Treize. 'But I really want to know what is going on in his mind, and the longer he waits… anyway. We'll discuss that later. Let's head off to Dermail.'
'Yes Master, right away. I first have to change my clothes and then I can go.'
'I'll be waiting out front.' Said Treize and went to get his coat. The brunette went up to his room to get changed.

When he entered his room he found Milliardo on his bed, and Noin sitting on a chair.
'What did Dermail want?' asked Milliardo jumping of the bed, circling around the younger teen.
Trowa patted the tiger. 'One of his horses is ill and I have to take a look since his personal vet is sick.'
'Couldn't he think of someone else? There are many more around here with a high knowledge of horses, right?' complained
the tiger while Trowa was changing clothes.
'Maybe, maybe not. But I've gotta go. I'll be back in a few hours I think. Take care Love.' He said hugging the tiger and left the room.
'Same goes to you. Take care.' Said Milliardo.

Milliardo went to the living room and lied down in front of the fireplace.
'Why the hell did Dermail ask Trowa to come? I mean, why would he ask a favour of Trowa? He hates Master Treize…no, he hates me so he hates everyone I have contact with…' he said to himself.
'It's Dermail. He's always illogical.' Said Noin sitting next to Milliardo on the ground.
After a while Milliardo fell asleep. Noin sat down on the couch and got her laptop. She opened the program she used to keep some sort of diary, but not for herself, but for Milliardo. She wrote/typed everything Milliardo did, how he healed, and what he told her about his feelings. She was so caught up in typing that she didn't notice Treize and Trowa come back home. Trowa went straight to his room, to take a shower and change clothes. Treize went to the living room, unnoticed by Noin.

Milliardo doesn't have it easy at the moment. He doesn't want to avoid his Master and Trowa, but he doesn't want to talk about his past. If he just trusted them enough to tell them, then he would heal faster, physically and mentally…If he just told them…

Treize stood behind Noin and had read what she was typing. He knew he shouldn't read more, so he took a few steps backwards to Milliardo and pretended he hadn't read a thing. He stroked the tiger. Milliardo woke up. 'O, hi…Welcome back Master.' Said the tiger still half asleep.
Noin was startled.

When did he come in she thought while closing her laptop.

'Welcome back your excellency.' She said. 'I didn't hear you come back.' She said.
'The door was open.' Explained the brunette. 'And when I saw that Milliardo was asleep I tried to get in without waking him.' He said smiling, stroking the white tiger.
'You did a good job then.' Said Milliardo. 'Is Trowa on his room?'
'Yeah, think so, but I think he's taking a shower at the moment. I think you'd better wait for him here.'
'Okay.' Said Milliardo yawning, showing a mouth full of razor sharp teeth.
'Wow Milliardo. Don't ever do that again… you startled me.' Said Treize knowing what those teeth could do when the boy was angry.
'Huh?' replied Milliardo. 'Is there a crime in just yawning?' he teased when he saw his Master stare at him.
'Nope. But it is a crime to startle me.' Joked the older man.
'It is?' teased Milliardo. He got up on his feet. 'What if I do this then?' he asked. He jumped at Treize, and pushed him down on the ground by almost jumping on him, placing all his weight on the older man's chest.
'Oophf…' said Treize when he hit the ground. 'Now, if I have the strength to move at all, I think I have to punish you.' He joked, not meaning it at all.
'Do your worst, you'll never catch me.' Teased Milliardo back, licking his Master in his face.
'O?' said someone hugging the tiger from behind. 'Who said I couldn't catch you?'
'Trowa? That's not fair!' complained the tiger. 'I didn't hear you come in…how did you do that? Normally I hear everything…'
'Maybe you're getting old.' Teased the youngest slave. 'Or…you were just distracted.' He added grinning.
'Hey, boys, how much I like the two of you teasing each other like that, this continues weight on me isn't really…comfortable…' said Treize in the meantime.
'Just a second Master.' Said Milliardo. He licked his masters face again and jumped of the older man. Treize sighed. 'Much better.'

To be continued.

I know, I know… very short chappie. Hontouni Gomen nasai! o, and I'm busy with a side story on 'Kitty' on the moment, so that might delay the next chapters…(Side story isn't posted on the internet yet…you just have to wait) sorry to keep you all waiting.
