Quatre was lying on his bed resting when he heard his phone ring. It was his private number reserved for his family. "Quatre he's come back. Will you come?" A twinge of fear rushed through his body.

"Off course don't worry. I won't let him do anything to you. I'm on my way." I must protect my sisters. Even at the cost of myself.

Quatre had gone home to take care of things. Not telling why he had to go just that it was necessary. When he returned Trowa wasn't there he had gone on a mission. So Quatre patiently waited for his love to return. He just needed him to hold him so badly after what he just had to deal with.

Unfortunately a mission came in for him and he had to vacate. The mission was just a standard destroy a base type deal. DAMMIT! I wanted to hold Trowa first. On the bright side though it's a good excuse to my injury. Maybe he won't ask so many question if he thinks I got it on a mission.

Trowa had been pacing back and fourth waiting for Quatre to return. He hated it when Quatre was sent on solo missions. Trowa now knew wheat Quatre felt like when he wasn't back in a reasonable amount of time. Wufei watched him pacing when Trowa asked, "What?"

"Nothing just experiencing deja vue."

Quatre finally landed Sandrock but didn't come out right away. He needed to compose himself before seeing Trowa. He took his fist and slammed the on the dashboard trying to relieve his frustration. Finally he jumped down. Trowa immediately went to him and held him in his arms. Quatre tightened the embrace as though he were holding on fir dear life. Trowa was his lifeline the only thing that kept him going. "Is everything all right?"

"Yeah. I'm just worn out. I think I'll go rest awhile." Quatre started to walk away but was limping. He could feel Trowa's concern and smiled. "I just got hit in the leg on the mission don't worry. I'll be fine with some rest." then turned and headed off to his room. I think he bought it. One less thing to worry about.

Trowa decided to check on Quatre to make sure he was all right. When he entered Quatre's room he saw Quatre just staring out the window.He looked so lost and became very concerned. When Quatre saw him he smiled. Not one of his usual smiles it was a forced smile.

"I thought you were going to sleep."

"I couldn't seem to get comfortable."

"What's wrong? did the mission go OK?"

"Fine just the usual."

"Did something happen went you went to see you sisters?"

"Nothing to worry about." he hated to lie but it was necessary.

"I could. I could lay with you if you would like."

"That sounds nice." Quatre really needed the comfort that Trowa could provide right now. Trowa laid down on the bed and held Quatre he fell asleep in no time. Trowa couldn't help but feel warm as they laid together. He was a little apprehensive about suggesting it but now was glad that he did. He could die happy holding Quatre in his arms.

*******************

Wufei finally finished working on his gundam and decided to take a look at Quatre's gundam for him. He checked all around and couldn't find any damage what so ever. "that's odd."

"What is." asked Trowa as he entered the hanger.

"there doesn't seem to be any damage."

"Nothing?"

"Not even a dent. Maybe he didn't get hurt in the battle."

"He's not lying about the pain in his leg."

"I'm not saying that. What I am saying is that he didn't get that wound in the battle.

"why would he lie?"

"Maybe he didn't want to worry you."

***************

When Trowa went back to Quatre's room he found him staring out the window once again. What's wrong angel? How did you get hurt? Why do you look so sad? I wish you would confide in me.

Trowa continued to watch him. Studying him hoping to find a clue to why Quatre seemed so sad. Every since he returned he had been distant. Quatre turned and saw him and smiled. "Trowa? what's wrong?" he asked growing concerned.

"Nothing just admiring the view."

"Yes the sky is beautiful tonight isn't it?"

"I meant you." Quatre smiled this time it was a genuine smile. It warmed Trowa's heart Everytime his angel smiled. His smile could lighten anyone's mood. "thank you for sleeping with me earlier. I haven't had such good sleep in a long time. It was nice to wake up in your arms."

Trowa went to him and they kissed. Quatre laid on top of Trowa and kissed him on his neck. He slowly moved down and as he kissed he began to unbutton Trowa's shirt. He looked down on his love and asked. "Trowa if you want to we can."

"I do very much. I don't think we're quite ready for that yet." He said as he kissed Quatre on the cheek and then took him in his arms.

"You sure?"

"Yes. I know you only ask because you think that's what I want. It won't be right until we're both ready." Quatre knew he was right Trowa wasn't like the others. His heart was pure.

"You're beautiful inside and out. Most people would have just took it if they wanted. I'm lucky to have you."

"I'm the lucky one my love." If anyone had ever done that to you. I'd kill them without regret or remorse. I never want you to go what I went through. never. I love you so much and one day I hope to have enough courage to convey that to you.
