Trowa watched over Quatre as he slept. Quatre began to whimper in his sleep calling Trowa's name. Trowa tightened him hold on Quatre's and began to caress his skin. It seemed to calm him down a but. Quatre arms tightened around him.

Trowa drifted to sleep as Quatre and him held eachother. Not wanting to think about what would happen when he woke up.

Quatre woke up and saw Trowa holding him he jumped off the bed which startled Trowa. Quatre backed away until he hit the wall.

********Flashback*******

Quatre was in excruciating pain as he was being beaten. The man was taunting him. He laughed and began to speak.

"Well kid it looks like your boyfriend doesn't love you as much as you thought."

"What are you talking about?" asked Quatre.

The man handed him a photo of Trowa and a girl dressed up. "That was taken at their wedding."

"No it can't be. NO!" the man just laughed at him.

"Oh poor little rich boy."

"TROWA!!!!!!!!"

***End Flashback******

"Did you get married?" Quatre asked in a trembling voice.

"What?"

"They showed me a photo of you will a girl at a wedding."

"No of course not. Catherine did I didn't. It was a photo of me and the grooms sister."

"I'm not suppose to love you. I'm bad."

"No it's not. You're not bad Quatre."

"I know that sometimes I repeat what I remember when I first wake up. Sorry about that. Wh wha why did you come?"

"How could I not?"

"I don't understand you. You can't still love me." it was a statement not a question.

"Quatre? Of course I do." Quatre couldn't hear it not now maybe not ever. Duo had been watching from the doorway and could see Quatre's distress. Quatre closed his eyes tight and pleaded. "Trowa please I need to be alone right now. I can't hear this not yet."

Trowa turned and left but not before saying. "I won't give up on you. I won't make that mistake again."

Quatre dropped to the floor and started to cry hysterically. Duo was by his side holding him. "Don't cry it will be all right Q. I promise."

"Why am I such a mess Duo?"

"You've been through hell. It's going to take time to fight your way back. If anyone can do it you can. You don't have to do it alone we're all here with you."

Duo tried to comfort Quatre but was worried about him. Everyone who cared about Quatre was here except Wufei. Maybe contacting him would help after all they had been close after the war. Quatre had kept in contact with him. When Quatre had disappeared Wufei had been worried.

*****Flashback*****

"It doesn't make since he wouldn't just leave like that. Not without a word. Quatre has more honor than that." announced Wufei.

"Maybe." answered Heero.

"Maybe nothing."

"Maybe he wanted to distance himself from all reminders of the war. You know how sensitive he is." responded Duo.

"I don't buy it."

****End Flashback*******

I should have listened to Wufei. Duo thought and looked down to Quatre who fell asleep again. Quatre had been so exausted lately. He was just so drained he didn't know how to help his friend.
