A/N: I actually kind of wanted to finish this story tonight, but I have too much to go to do that. I'm still hoping I can get it around Troublemaker length, but I don't see that happening, I think it will be on either side, too low or too high.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing and I make no profit from this, but I do own Andie Rika Tru, so please ask if you want to use her, ok?
Trowa raced towards the animal tent, where Andie had gone, and when he reached it he saw the source of everyone's fear. The lion was loose, though it was in almost semi-calm state. Andie was trying to ease the lion back into its cage, but every time she tried the lion either bit or scratched her.
"Stop screaming!" Andie yelled at a group of girls in particular. "You're not helping, everyone just go!" The lion clawed at Andie again, and this time she made an art of dodging it, though in the process the lion followed her and got further from its cage.
"Andie, hold still." Trowa made his way over to the lion and gently rubbed its mane, trying to distract it from the girl bleeding in front of it.
"I don't need your help." Andie made a face as the lion leaned down to lick a wound on her leg. "I can do this by myself. He's just playing... and terrified."
"Let me help." Trowa continued scratching the lion's neck, and was able to lead the lion into its cage. He turned back to Andie and sighed. "You're hurt."
"And the stars are bright, would you like to state something else, captain obvious?" Andie followed Trowa to the rooms, despite her bad attitude about it.
"Let me bandage your wounds." Trowa was digging medical supplies out of a first aid box.
Andie bit her lip. She knew she wouldn't be able to do it herself, and she would've rather had Catherine do it for her, but she didn't want her "big sister" to worry in her condition.
On the other hand, she didn't want to strip off her shirt and jeans, as ripped as they were, and stand in front of Trowa in her underwear. And if the wounds weren't bandaged properly, they could get infected.
"I really don't think you can do this yourself." Trowa had the circus size rolls of gauze and medical tape in his hand, along with an array of disinfecting products.
"If you turn into a pervert while you're bandaging me up, I will kill you and have no regrets." Andie sighed as she stripped off her shirt. She realized she had several good-sized scratches on her ribcage, which were dangerous enough, but she was pretty sure the lion had cracked a few of her ribs. Not that that was unforgivable, after all the manager had tried to use a whip on the lion.
Trowa was as gentle as he could be, scrubbing out the scratches, putting antibiotic ointment on them, bandaging the scratches and broken ribs. He could feel Andie flinch every time he touched her, making it painful for both of them.
Finally, it was over. Trowa had given her some of his clothes to wear so she didn't have to wear her bloodied and ripped clothes to her room.
"You're a good person." Andie wouldn't look at him, and she was shaking, still clearly in pain.
Trowa pulled her into a hug, being careful not to hurt her. "I try to be." He whispered as Andie relaxed in his arms.
He tried to be for good people like her.
A/N: I'm actually wondering if that's thunder. I think I have to get off for the night, so I can't answer reviews, but I'd still love to hear from you! Thank you for reading!
