Be still my heart, lately it's mind is on its own.

"Trowa." Quatre shouted jovially as he approached the silent pilot.

Trowa look at the sunny figure that was approaching him. He frowned. What is it that he is feeling? Everytime He is near or thinking of Quatre; his heart felt like it was going to burst out of his chest. For no reason he is happy & apprehensive at the same time. He can feel butterflies in his stomach making him giddy inside. What is it that Quatre invoke deep inside him. He was curious but afraid to know the truth.

Every time he is on a mission. His mind will always wander off to a certain blonde pilot. It kind of hurts him sometimes that makes him feel empty inside when he could not see the beautiful....wait a minute..did I say BEAUTIFUL?! He examined the boy running to him. Well yes, he is beautiful he admitted to himself. But a boy should not think that another boy is beautiful. Much so feel these sensations churning in his body. It is simply not right.

Yet he could not help himself.

It will go far & wide just to be near you

He was the purpose of his living. That's why he is so persevere to accomplish the mission. Just so he could return to their safe house & see those sweet smile. That angelic features that leaves him breatheless & give him the ridiculous compulsion to taste those red inviting lips & keep the boy in his arms forever.

Once, he could not feel emotions. But when he saw the boy so trusting & innocent. His feelings come rushing through him. Enough to flood his senses & dim his clear thoughts. He just wanted to be near Quatre & every time he saw the boy with other people, his heart is filled with unreasonable possessiveness. He felt guilty that he does not like it when Quatre is enjoying the company of others. What the hell is the matter with him?

Even the stars shines a bit bright

I've notice when your close to me

"Welcome 'puff' back." Quatre was flushed with the running & was trying to catch his breath. He find it cute. He smiled. "Hai, Little One." He brushed back the soaked bangs of the pilot. Quatre froze at the gesture. Trowa pulled back his hand. His impulse is getting the better of him. He knew it. All the walls he built around himself is falling apart because of this boy. Who lights up his life & show him the beauty of this god gorsaken world. He knew he got to stop him before whatever this is become irreversible. But why can't he find it inside himself to cut Quatre's warmth.

"So what are you doing out here?" He asked. Concern for the welfare of the boy. He is fragile & easily can catch cold. He smiled at least he could fuzz over him when he is sick. Quatre slumped to the grass & look at the sky. "Star gazing." He look back at Trowa. "Care to join me?" He offer.

Trowa shrugged & sat beside Quatre. He look at the stars. Every little thing makes me remember Quatre. Why? Everything is beautiful if Quatre is around. Maybe he really is an angel send by God to save us...to save me. Not even one of these stars could compare to his eyes. He sighed & look back at Quatre. "Beautiful." He uttered dreamily. Really oblivious if he is addressing the stars or the figure who is silently staring at the sky.

Quatre smiled. "I know, every time I look at the stars. I felt..cleanse & I feel hope. Hope that someday the war will end so every one could appreciate the beauty of the world & the infinite universe." Poetic as always. Trowa noted.

"I'm sorry am I boring you." Quatre smiled shyly. Trowa felt a pinch in his heart. He smiled "No not at all." Not at all.

"Duo always sleep through my speeches." Quatre scratched his head. Making him look like a little child compare to is age. "You expect Duo to be interested in something that doesn't concern Music & Basketball?" We both laugh & I fell that a heavy burden was take away form him.

Still it remains a mystery.

It felt nice. But why is it that I am asking for more yet I don't know what?

Anyone who seen us,

knows what's going on between us.

Duo look at the two pilot sitting at the foot of the hill. He smile, those two are really meant for each other. Duo, Heero, & Wufei shared a knowing glance. He sighed exasperatedly. "My God, I can't believe those two are fucking clueless!! They got those 'I am in love with you.' look in their eyes." Duo pouted. Wanted to clobber the two until they finally have the senses to admit their feelings to each other.

Wufei nodded in agreement. "It's not justice." Heero said nothing. Duo look once again at the two & then glance back at the Wing pilot. 'I wish.......'

It doesn't take a genius

to read between the lines.

They enjoyed a pleasant evening together. Quatre was shivering. Trowa draped his jacket around the blonde's shoulder. Then placed his arms around it. He sighed with contentment. Smiling goofily. Quatre blushed but snuggled closer.

They stayed there in silence, both afraid to break the spell the evening has cast on them. He must have really miss me. Trowa could distinctly smell Quatre's fresh hair. He was about to kiss the golden head.

"Hey, Dinner is already serve you two better get up & eat it." Duo's voice boomed. Making Quatre yelp & jump. Mental note: Kill Duo later. Trowa glared at Duo. Dense as he was Duo knows he pissed the French pilot off. He grinned apologetically & scratch his head. Trowa sighed & head for the safe house.

Maybe later....... He smiled at his thoughts

At the kitchen........

Duo babbled continually, not even noticing that none of the pilots were listening to him. Quatre ate silently while gazing at Trowa. Trowa was staring at him back. Wufei noticed this & nudge the chatterbox pilot. Duo stopped & look at the two pilots engaged at a staring contest. Duo purposely cleared his throat. Breaking the two out of their trance. "Oh, what was that you say Duo?" Quatre asked noting the pink flush in his cheeks.

Duo just shook his head & continued eating. "So Trowa.." Duo addresses the tall pilot. Trowa look at him. "He smiled when he caught his attention. "Did you miss my cooking terribly?" He asked.

"No."

"Did you miss me then?"

"No."

"Did you miss Heero & Wufei?"

"No." He expected that Duo was going to ask him about Quatre so he ready himself into answering no.

"Did you went to the circus while on the mission?"

Trowa frowned. 'Is this a trick question"Yes."

"Did you miss your room?" Trowa resumed eating.

"Yes."

"Did you miss Quatre?"

"Yes..Doh!" He slipped.

Quatre choked on his food. Embarrassment forgotten, Trowa was already beside Quatre pounding on his back as gently as he could all the time glaring at Duo.

"What did I do?" He asked innocently. But his grin could split his face.

& it's not just wishful thinking

or only me who's dreaming.

Quatre drink a glass of water & excuse himself. He clear the table & go to the sink. Trowa followed. "Quatre.." He called. Quatre smiled & look at him. "Arigatou Trowa I'm glad you miss me." Trowa smiled & approach the boy. "Do you miss me too?" He just have to ask. He just have to know.

"Of course Trowa...I don't know why but something hurts here." He clutch at his chest & look at Trowa in confusion.

His heart melted.

He feels the same for me. Trowa wanted to shout with joy not knowing why. Maybe it is a disease that I infected Quatre. He hoped not.

I know that these are symptoms of

We could be in love.

He touch Quatre's cheeks. Quatre suddenly flushed. He smiled. "I don't know why Little One, but I'm......glad." He holds Quatre's chin in his fingers. Looking at those drowning teal eyes.

"Don't...don't you find it weird?" Quatre asked.

"Not at all."

Just then Duo entered. He whistled, "Hey you two this is not the perfect place to date you know." He winked at the two as he opened the door of t he fridge taking out his milk & raisin cookies.

"Duo!" Quatre got more redder.

I ask myself why,

I sleep like a baby through the night

Maybe it helps to know, you'll be there tomorrow

Trowa was looking up into the ceiling. After dinner, he immediately went to his room. Quatre on the other hand was with Duo watching television. He sighed, every minute, every second he thinks of the cute little pilot. He heard the door opening. He could see the boy's light form slowly closing the door as carefully as he could. He could be a darling at times.

"Quatre." He called out. Quatre was startled. "Hey, I thought you are already asleep. Trowa pat his bed inviting Quatre to sit. "Hmmmm, where's Duo he usually bothers you at this time. How in heavens did you evade him?" Trowa didn't see Quatre's face blushing again. "Actually, Duo was teasing me to go to the room." Trowa frowned. "Why?" He asked.

"He's teasing me about you." Trowa thought for a while. I am not really falling for Quatre am I? I mean yeah I admitted that he is beautiful, but is my admiration turning to attraction? It's not right & I know Quatre is not thinking of me like that. Boys shouldn't like other boys like this. He shook the thought in his head.

"Planning to sleep now, Little one?"

"Yeah, I have a busy day." Quatre sighed warily.

Trowa smiled minutely; "Ok then, Good night." He playfully ruffled the blonde's hair.

"Trowa!" Quatre whined. He felt light hearted Quatre sure have a way with him to make him happy & giddy inside. He sat on his bed & look at Quatre, the light was slightly dimmed making the Arabian boy glow. "Any plans for tomorrow?" the question suddenly come out into his mouth. His heart was beating fast.

"No, thank Allah there is no mission." Quatre paused. "Why?"

Trowa shook his head & lie down. "I'm glad." Quatre look at him strangely & lie on his bed too. Trowa turned in his bed looking at the even breathing Quatre. He chuckled. 'He must really be tired.' He can faintly hear the boy's faint snore. He couldn't sleep, so he settled for his favorite past time. Gazing at Quatre.

Sometimes it is hard to fight the urge to hold Quatre in his arms or to press his lips on Quatre's. Whenever Quatre look at him with such trust & smiled so sweetly at him all he wanted was to keep Quatre in his arms & never let him go. It was irrational of him but sometimes he felt an acute jealousy towards Duo. Because only Duo could make the boy happy. He wanted that he will be the only one who would make the blonde smile. He will be the one Quatre will confide with his problem.

He should have known from the start he have fallen in love with Quatre. But the question is what is he going to do about it. His heart was in confusion.

Finally, he went to sleep.

Don't open my eyes

I'll wake from the spell I'm under

Makes me wonder how

Tell me how, I can live without you now

He was floating into darkness, he could not see. Suddenly he felt someone grabbed his hand. It was cold & clammy. He look at it & was horrified at what he saw. It was a rotting corpse, he saw him once. In a mission. He accidentally killed him. He was still wearing his OZ uniform.

Quatre tried to wrench free from the vice like grip. "You...killed me....you killed me.." His voice was haunted & eerie. "Aaaaaaahhhhh!" Quatre was starting to panic. "Heellllllpppppp!"

The darkness seems to shift & the corpse was gone. Then he saw his own mansion. Hope quickly arises from his heart. He saw his father. "Papa! Papa!" He screamed desperately. The latter turned & look at him coldly. His heart was filled with fear once again. He suddenly noticed that he was in a laboratory. & there he saw numerous test tube babies. His father smiled coldly. "My dear son, you.....are one of them."

His knees couldn't support him. He stumbled. Tears run from his face. "You are not even a real human being.....Can't even please your father." Words stabbed through his hear like a knife.

He opened his eyes & found himself secured in strong arms. He went rigid; was this a part of the nightmare. Tears ran madly through is face. He felt slender fingers push past through his golden locks. "Sshhhhh it's alright little one, no one's going to hurt you." comforted Trowa. Making soothing circles down the slender back. He cooed nonsense sound & hold the blonde boy in his arms. Quatre hugged Trowa back. "Trowa, please tell me you are real please.." He look at those solemn emerald eyes. His eyes were pleading & scared. Making Trowa's heart a pile of putty.

"I am here Little one, no one will hurt you. I....will protect you." This is what he have been missing all his life. He relish the feel of Quatre's tender body in his. He is so warm. He buried his face over the sweet smelling golden hair. He wanted to hold Quatre like this forever. He is now sure that this is no mere friendship he is feeling over the petite little pilot but love.

Trowa was just contented on holding Quatre. When he felt the blonde boy was already asleep. He slowly placed him to bed. He brush back those platinum bangs & was about to return to is bed. When he heard the other boy whimpered. He look down at the small figure curled up in a tight ball. He thought for a while, Quatre might still have nightmares. It is better if I stayed with him. He push back the blankets & settled himself in the bed beside Quatre. He smiled minutely; & besides it felt good cuddling the little boy. He pulled Quatre in a tender hug. Softly kissing Quatre's forehead. He placed the blanket on top of them. He can feel Quatre's faint but warm breath on the crook of his neck.

He closed his eyes & went to a sound slumber.

The first rays of the sun hit their room. Quatre closed his eyes & tried to move. He can still feel the marks of his tears in his face. The he froze, he felt immobilized. He opened his eyes & came face to face with a strong built chest. He squeaked, awakening the French pilot. He turned red. Trowa, Trowa saw him. How embarrassing. He quickly stood up. Rubbing the last vestiges of sleep in his eyes.

"Good morning Little One." Trowa smiled from a very good night sleep. He felt he was in heaven when he holds his angel in his arms. "Good morning Trowa." The pink in his face was still visible. Trowa grinned. He was absolutely adorable especially at morning. He looks so cute. He trace the smooth skin & remembered something.

"You have a nightmare Quatre that is why I uhhmmmm.." He tried to explain himself. "No, No Trowa it's ok. Thank you very much for for being there." Quatre look at the boy with gratitude in his eyes.

"It's nothing." Trowa wanted to add. '& if it is not too much could we always cuddle in bed.' He almost laughed at the thought. Almost.

"It's still early are you sure you are already leaving the bed?" Trowa asked. Intent on having Quatre on bed with him. "Huh? Well I was planning on making breakfast." Quatre stood up & look at his drawers. "Just sleep & I'll wake you up when it is ready." He went to the bathroom. Trowa sighed & close his eyes. He burrowed his face on Quatre's pillow. Inhaling the boy's scent on the pillow. Wrapping the blanket in his body. 'I guess I'll doze off for a little while.'

Quatre put on his usual attire & proceeded to the kitchen. His nightmare, already forgotten. He set the frying pan on the stove & heat it up. "Ok, what should we have, oh I know Duo likes American style food. So bacon & eggs it is." He talk to himself.

He toast some bread & fried bacon & eggs. The whole area was filled with the mouth watering aroma. Quatre didn't see the lanky figure approaching from behind. He was suddenly trapped in a pair of strong arms in his waist. "Honey, you shouldn't have..." Trowa smiled & whispered in his ear.

Quatre gasped. Trowa never do that it was unexpected to him. "Trowa!" He scolded. "What will the others think."

"That you are my ever dutiful wife Mrs. Quatre Raberba Winner Barton." He teased Quatre.

"Trowa!" He blushed for the second time that morning. This is so embarrassing.

Someone cleared his throat startling the two boys. "Well, well, well something we do not know about you two." It was Duo. Probably awaken by the enticing smell of breakfast. Trowa released Quatre although with hesitation. Lingering his hands on the waist which is more than necessary.

"I smell honey cured bacon." Duo practically drooled as he approached the table. "Wow, I knew it, I knew it." Duo crowed making Quatre giggle. He sat beside the boy. "Leave some for the others Duo." Duo pouted playfully. "But you make the best breakfast Quatre. & besides I see only you & Trowa those two should stick to cereals."

"You are such a pig Maxwell." Wufei entered the kitchen followed by Heero. "Aaaawww Wu-man you know I am only kidding. You know I could never forget my comrades, my allies, my friends, my buddies, my fellow patriots, my..."

"We get the picture Maxwell."

Quatre smiled at the scened. They are like one "Big happy family." Trowa finished his thought for him. Quatre nodded. "Don't you wish it is always like this?"

"You know we are always hoping that all of this will end. & I promise you it will end." Trowa took Quatre's hands with his own.

The little argument stopped. The other three pilots mouth gape at the mushy scene. Their chin hitting the table. This is the emotionless Trowa they know. Someone must have kidnapped the real Barton & replaced him.

Trowa look at them with those dead eyes again & they resumed their eating. His eyes emitting the promse of certain death if they utter a word about what happened. He don't want to embarrass Quatre anymore.

After breakfast Trowa felt the urge to walk around. It was a fine day & beside Quatre is here. He asked the blonde pilot if he wants to walk with him. Quatre complied & join him. "Trowa......"

They arrived at the garden.

Quatre stopped in his tracks. Trowa finally noticing that the blonde has no compunction to follow him look back his eyes asking. Quatre smiled. "This is a special day." He stated.

Trowa grinned. "What makes you say that, Little One?" He sat on the patio & patted it. Quatre complied & sat beside him. "Because Trowa never go for the stroll in the park routine." Quatre teased the French pilot. Quatre noticed that Trowa's features become serious. "You want to talk about something serious, Trowa?" His face once again was filled with concern.

Trowa sidled closer to his little sunshine. His left arm expertly maneuvering to Quatre's shoulder without being to obvious. He heaved a sigh. "Quatre, I....uuhmm..you ...have you.aahhmmm." Actually he didn't know what to ask or what to say. & he knows he is mumbling like an idiot.

"Trowa are you okay?" Quatre placed his hand tentatively at Trowa's forehead. Trowa grabbed Quatre's hands. "Yes I am quite fine Quatre."

Quatre felt suddenly uncomfortable. He tried to shift but Trowa's arm hold him still. "Trowa.."

What is it that he feels for his little sunshine. Is it just mere friendship. Certainly not jus comradeship for Duo or the others does not evoke such feelings in him. Enough to make his catch his breath. Is it brotherly love? That is why he is so protective over the blonde boy but that doesn't explain his possessiveness. The way he prickled whenever Duo slung his arm around his Quatre. What is it that he wants from Quatre. That every time he was the reciever of that sweet smile his heart melt. That the sight of that pretty face makes him wanna keep him & never let him go.

What does Quatre feel about him? Does he feel the same way about him. Some of the confusion must have slipped through his face. Quatre gently touched his cheek. "Trowa you can tell me what is wro-"

"I love you Quatre." Where the hell did that came from?! Quatre gasped. Retracting back his hand. "What did you say?" He didn't mean to say it out loud much more admit it to himself. Well, he finally slipped it so no use denying it. "I love you, Quatre."

What does he expect? To have Quatre say "I love you." back. He felt his world crash when Quatre scuttled away from him. "Trowa....I don't know what to say." His eyes, those pretty blue eyes couldn't look straight back at him.

'Say you love me Quatre.' He knows that he is in a battle he will surely lost. But he was so sure that the beautiful boy will reciprocate his feelings. After all, was it not Quatre who always tend over him? Fuss over him? The closest person in the world.....his best friend.

All of it for friendship.

& he knew he blew his chance of happiness. He doesn't have Quatre love nor friendship. He could just die now.

"Trowa, I'm sorry..I can't." He could clearly hear the regret & sadness there. But he knows he could not force him to love him back. Quatre....Quatre will never be his. Never.

He did nothing to stop the boy from taking off. He doesn't have the right & he didn't want to impose on the boy. He just stare at the retreating back emotionless. Even if his heart is already backing. There's no use of crying over spilled milk. What is done is done. He risk it & now he must face the consequences.

& what about the laughter,

The happy ever after.

Like voices of sweet angel calling out your name.

It had been three days since he declared his love for Quatre. They are avoiding each other ever since. This was taking its toll on all of the pilot. Quatre's usual sunny smile is now sullen & Trowa is more colder than usual. The three finally takes the hint that something is wrong with the two.

Quatre was taking his afternoon tea at the patio when Duo approach him. "Hey, Quatre why so gloom on a sunny day?" Duo's cheerful voice always takes Quatre out of the blue. The Arabian smiled minutely & it was obviously forced. "Nothing Duo, I'm not in the mood that's all."

Duo smiled & look at Quatre. Assessing him. "Uh huh, so what did you & Trowa argued about?" He asked his smiled never left his face but the humor was gone. This is something serious. They never see the two fight or argue just some little misunderstanding that they quickly settle & they are back from being sweet to each other.

"Duo, what is love to you?" Quatre suddenly asked. Duo cocked his head as if failed to hear the question. "Huh?" He didn't expect that kind of question from Quatre. "Well 'cough' 'cough' Love is the feeling that makes you all giddy inside & shit like that." Duo look at Quatre hoping he understands what he meant by that.

"Is that all it is? Just the feelings that stirs in your heart?"

"Quatre, have you ever been fallen in love?" Quatre shook his head negatively. Duo nodded. "Many things adds up to become love. The feelings inside is only one of them. You should have passion or it will become dull. Affection, care, understanding, responsibility, trust. But most of all you are willing to sacrifice yourself & risk yourself in the process of falling in love."

"But those feelings it will never last. You get old got kids & the next thing you knew BAM! You are divorced."

"Love is not just falling in to it. Many people have made that mistake. What is important is you have the sense & responsibility of staying in love. If you care for someone that much then it is not hard no matter how emotionless, hollow, cold hearted, absolutely insane & self destructive he is." Duo explained.

"Love is very hard to find Quatre especially with war. That's why we've got each other. No matter how much Heero denies it or Trowa or Wufei they need us as much as we need them. That's why they never let us go. If someone offered you true love grab on to it & never let it go."

"Even if he is another male?" Duo blinked & guffawed. "Did I say something funny?" Quatre looked offended. "So our suspicion was correct, this has something to do with Trowa right?" He said in between his laughs.

Quatre blushed. "Whu- what makes you say that?" But could not deny the fact. Duo shook his head & grinned at Quatre. "You my little blonde is not very good at lying. So come on spill." He said with a cajoling grin.

"Well, remember three days ago when Trowa & I took a walk in the garden? We just talk & suddenly he says...he says... he love me." Quatre stopped & say in Duo's relieved sighed 'Finally.'

"But I left, because I don't know what to say. I am afraid that what I felt for his isn't love or I might hurt him or he was just kidding or what he is feeling for me is not love." Quatre blushed prettily.

"Ooookay, but things are pretty fucked up right now for the two of you."

"Duo!"

"Heh! sorry. Well all I could say is go to him right now say 'I love you' & that will give the fairy tale a happy ending." When he saw that Quatre was about to protest. "Quatre we all know how you feel about him & it is not just mere camaraderie or friendship. What you feel is true love the most sincere I have ever seen in fact. So what the hell is stopping you?"

"I don't know..I guess I am scared. I don't want to loose Trowa. I love him too much to.." He stopped. Duo snickered. "There ya go." He finally say it. He loves Trowa & Trowa, Trowa will be there for him. Trowa loves him too. Trowa......he have got to find Trowa.

Trowa was playing his flute in the music room. The tone was rich & expertly crafted yet the melancholy was the core. Anyone who is on a hearing radius could be bought to tears by it. Quatre bit his lip. Feeling his heart ache upon hearing Trowa play. 'I'm so sorry....'

"Trowa." He called. The boy stopped playing & lowered the flute form his mouth. "Quatre..." It was his sunshine calling him. He look back & what he saw almost break him to tears. His little one's eyes were so sad. His cute little mouth was curved into a pout. His body was tense & rigid.

Neither one of them spoke a word. Trowa, finally getting tired of the silence. "Quatre about what I say back in the garden I just want you to know that.."

Quatre immediately rushed by Trowa placing his finger on Trowa mouth effectively silencing him. "Please, Trowa don't ever say that you are sorry when you said I love you back then."

Trowa was stunned. Hope filled his eyes. Quatre..please don't make me. He look at Quatre's eyes. " I should be the one who is sorry about the way I act in the garden." Trowa's lips quiver feeling the softness of Quatre's finger in his pliant lips.

"I'm just confused & scared, I don't know what to expect or what to ask or what to do. No one ever said I love you to me before or feel the way you make me feel." He knew he was babbling but he need to reach Trowa or their friendship might forever be ruined.

Surely, someone as beautiful as Quatre will have many admirers of course with the war they don't have much time to socialize but still....

"I don't know if what I am feeling for you is love but I know that there is something here." He placed his hand on his chest emphasizing what he is saying.

"Little one, don't do this because of me." He wouldn't want it if Quatre is doing this only becuase he do not want to hurt his feelings. He couldn't stop his hand in time when he tuck the platinum hair above the blonde's ear.

"Then don't do this because of yourself." Trowa felt himself mesmerized by those cupid bow lips & wished he could just brush his own for a short period of time. Quatre hold Trowa's hand in his own. "Do this for me."

Trowa's mind was singing. Quatre, Quatre, Quatre. Was all his mind could chant. He cupped Quatre's face in his long fingers & slowly pulled the Arabian into a chaste kiss.

Quatre's knees buckled & fall squarely into Trowa's lap. He blushed. Trowa grinned & put his arm around Quatre. "Well since you put it that way, Little one." He just couldn't resist the temptation & kissed Quatre again.

"Mmmmmmmmmm" Quatre moaned in Trowa's mouth.

All my life, I have dreamed of this

but I could not see your face.

Don't ask why two such distant stars can fall right into place.

Trowa look into Quatre's eyes. This is enough. He could finally die a happy man. Now that he have his angel by his side. But he of course do not intend to die yet. Not before........ He need to enjoy every minute of it.

There's no more emptiness inside. Finally, he have the reason to smile. To see the world in a better light. This boy, so sweet & innocent have succeeded in bringing back his heart. The thing he thought he had already lost forever. Just one look, just one smile makes him complete.

A fantasy he had evoked in his mind. A dream he have been dreaming. He could not name until he saw him. Coming out of his Gundam. Utterly trusting. Offering him peace & bringing his life into his hands although he have the upper hand. Quatre created it, an invisible link that connects them. Their heart.

Quatre blushed. He can feel that certainty was slowly rising amidst the confusion in his brain. He knew it, he is right that he have followed his instincts. Trowa, will never leave him. Trowa will make him happy. Trowa will be his tether to sanity in this war. He burrowed his face in the crook of Trowa's neck. This will be safe.

& for the first time in their life,

They know they are in love.
