Part 2

"Heero."

"Quatre."

After the short exchange of pleasantries they settled down and ordered. With steaming cups of tea under their nose the two sat together in silence.

Heero caressed the rim of his cup."It's annoying that you keep on staring at me."

Quatre gaped at the man before him. "Sorry! I didn't mean ..."

Heero hushed the blonde and smiled a little before he frowned. "You seem to be very exhausted. You mustn't come."

"I know."

Heero sighed and focused his eyes on the window of the café.

"How were you these past three years Heero?" 'Were you happy?'

The former soldier took a deep breath then he smiled bitterly. "Not too bad."

Even if Quatre wasn't empathic he could clearly see the other man's wall breaking slowly. Heero's hand was shaking. He reached out and patted the other man's hand. That ended up with Heero grasping his hand tightly as if he was afraid that the blonde would disappear into thin air.

"Quatre."

Understanding the other man Quatre ordered the bill and they left the café.

Duo decided to take Trowa for a walk in the park. "What do you think is going to happen?"

"Quatre won't change his mind – unless Heero tells him how he really feels."

"We all know Heero. He won't tell him on his own." Duo froze in his tracks. "Are you..."

Trowa nodded. The ex-Deathscyth-pilot grinned evilly. 'This is what's good between us. We don't need to use words that much.' They just needed to wait for Wufei.

"Une thinks I'm possessed or something alike."

Sally laughed tears. "You? Possessed? What did you do? Quit your job?"

The Chinese man stared at her quizzically. "Yeah. I quit my job."

The doctor stopped laughing. Realization dawned upon her. "You are throwing a perfect life away, Wufei. Sure you won't regret it? I'm sure Heero can fix this and won't want you all to get involved."

"You won't understand this Dr. Po." Wufei's statement left no room for arguments. "Through the years I thought they could forget but I guess I was a fool." 'None of us will forget this:'

Three years ago

After five years of having the ex-pilots as her personal bodyguards and consultants, Releena dismissed them via notice and had them led out by security guards instantly. Duo was fuming.

"It's okay. " Trowa tried to allay wrath. "As you have said, we've been working for her five years already. We should have known this day will come."

"I didn't see it coming that fast! What should I do now? That..." Duo kept swearing and pacing around.

Trowa shook his head and Quatre smiled at the American. Wufei cleared his throat. "You realize that he has a point, don't you? I never thought it would end like this."

"Let's wait for Heero. Then we can go to my home and discuss what we are going to do." Quatre sat leisurely on the bench. "It's such a wonderful day, such a rare chance to be off from work, let's enjoy it for a moment."

Heero stomped outside the building, clearly in mood to kill. Behind him the gates shut close as he left the protected area. Duo made a beeline toward him.

"Heero, what is she thinking? Throwing us out like this? Who does she..."

"Quit it Duo." The man snapped at him.

"Heero." Quatre smiled at him.

He sat next to the blonde eyes staring on the ground.

"What's going on Heero?" Wufei asked. The stoic man stepped forward gazing directly at him. Heero looked up to meet his gaze but shied away shortly after their eyes met.

"Listen, this is the time to part ways."

Duo gasped for air. The other three remained silent. The Japanese man stood up and was about to leave when Quatre stopped him. "Why?"

"We have our own paths to follow." Heero heard the blonde sighing in defeat. "We need to pursue our individual dreams to be happy."

Quatre tore his eyes away from the back of the other and rubbed his face with his hands. "Seems if you know your path. Keep in touch if possible Heero." He stood up, rounded the man and gently pulled him into an embrace. "I'm glad you found your happiness."

"I never thought you knew the meaning of being 'happy'." Duo grinned. "Don't worry about us we will find our dream and whatever soon!"

"We will find it that's for sure – but you..."

"What's that supposed to mean Wu!" Duo dashed forward and tried to grab the Chinese man. He chased him around the small area of the park.

Trowa approached from behind. "We can never hold you back from being happy Heero, but you know we will always be there in case..."

"I know. Thank you."

Quatre suggested a dinner at his home before they have to part and all agreed. After that dinner Heero left.

Quatre took over his family business. Duo stayed with his best friend and worked in one of his repair and assembling shops. Trowa went to visit Cathy but joined Quatre and Duo soon again. He had applied for an opening in safety services. Wufei joined the Preventers.

Even though Heero wasn't with them it was a good time – until Quatre's oldest sister passed away. The second oldest, Fehrensen, claimed Quatre's position. The blonde never wanted that job and didn't even blink before he agreed but his sister put much work on it to make it looked like the mudslinging story of the year. Only Quatre's widespread social relationships and foreseeing planning after their second meeting kept her lies from being printed.

Oficially Quatre stayed CEO of WinnerCorp.. Fehrensen made him sell 30% of his shares so even she was the second CEO, she was the one in charge of the company.

The second hit on Quatre was when his brother made his appearance.

Three years afterwards

'Who would have thought it would crash down on him like this. And Heero never knew.'
