Trowa was silent . "You didn't ask him did you?"

"What am I suppose to do? Accuse him of lying? You yourself said he was sensitive would if he thinks I don't trust him? and he decides to leave me."

"Maybe he didn't tell you because he was afraid of that very thing."

"I don't know."

"Don't know what?" asked Quatre as he entered the hanger.

Wufei left to go get something to eat. Quatre went to Trowa and hugged him tightly. He had missed him so much when he was away. Dealing with the demons from his family. Hopefully it was now over. Maybe now he could have some peace or as much peace as a person could get during a war. Being close to Trowa always seems to have a calming affect on him. "Being close you always makes me feel so good Trowa. I love you very much."

"I know. Quatre?"

"How.. I mean Why.. I mean?"

"What is it Trowa? You know you can ask me anything."

"How did you really hurt your leg?"

Quatre's smile faded and he untangled himself from Trowa's grasp. He walked a few feet away and turned his back to Trowa. It worried greatly when Quatre didn't speak. Quatre was stuck silent how could explain his way out of this. He couldn't lie to Trowa but...

Trowa walked over to him and turned Quatre so they were facing one another. He took his hands and looked into Quatre's beautiful eyes. He placed his hand on his cheek and Quatre put his hand over Trowa's. Holding his hand he looked into Trowa's eyes lovingly. "I love you Trowa. Please don't make me tell you."

"Quatre you are very special to me. You can trust me."

"I know that Trowa. I trust you. I don't trust him."

"Him?"

"I'm sorry Trowa I can't tell you."

"Why not? you just said you trusted. If you love me please tell me."

Please don't do this to me Trowa. I love you but I just can't go down that road with you. I have to find a way to change the subject. He can't know no one can.

"It's no big deal. I just got into a fight. Trowa?"

"yes Quatre."

"Do you love me?"

"what?"

"Do you love me?"

"Quatre I. I well I."

"Trowa, It's not a test, either you do or you don't. Which is it?" that will distract him.

"I'm sorry. I just. I."

"I see." Quatre looked so sad. He had meant it to distract Trowa but now it hurt much more than his leg did.

Quatre walked away remembering his doctor's appointment. "I have an appointment we can talk later."

"Quatre, I do care for you."

"Yeah sure." he said disbelievingly. Quatre grabbed his coat and headed out the door.

Wufei came in and put a pill bottle on the table. "Trowa I think we've got a problem. More to the point he does." Trowa looked at the pills and thought. Oh no Quatre's taking drugs? I don't believe it. Why?
