~Trowa's POV~
I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
{He walked down the street; never touching another soul, chin to his chest, bangs plastered to his face, hands shoved into the tight jeans that clung to his legs. He didn't feel the cold drizzle that rained down over him. He was too numb to feel anything.}
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
{Rolling over and out of bed, he stumbled across the small living space in his trailer, draped only in the florescent glow of a street light outside his window. He navigated his way over to the sink and poured himself a glass of metallic-tasting tap water, gulping it down in one shot, his Adam's apple bobbling rapidly. He fell over the sink, crossing his arms over the metal basin, resting his head against his arms, gasping in great pants of breath.}
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
{Gulps. Gasps. Hot steam rushes into his nose and lungs, making him feel heavy and light at once. He falls forward, leaning his forehead against the cool, wet tile of the shower. He was oblivious to his tears.}
You live you learn
{"Live it up, kid," the tall, golden man told him, tossing him a coin as he finished buttoning his pants. The man didn't look back at the boy he'd left alone on the rumpled sheets.}
You love you learn
{His body arched, reaching, receiving, singing. Above him, the other boy was panting, sweat dripping from his golden bangs, splashing onto his chest. "Love you," the other boy whispered, curling his surprisingly strong arms around him.}
You cry you learn
{He hid behind the lion cages, huddled into a tight, little ball, shaking with the wrath of his crying fit.}
You lose you learn
{He folded his hand, dropping the cards on the overturned crate.}
You bleed you learn
{For no reason he could explain, he took one of his blades and pulled the edge over his arm, watching the dark, rich blood well up from the cut.}
You scream you learn
{Screams}
I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
{Explosions were going off to either side of him. His own suit was loosing ground, and fast. "There's too many of them!" someone screamed over the comm. "We have to retreat!" "This was a trap!" another shouted back. "Everyone, pull back!"}
I recommend sticking you foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
{"It was just sex." he told the other boy.}
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
{In a rage, he flung his arms across the table surface, shoving everything onto the floor. He stood, looking down over it, panting, fists balled at his sides.}
You wait and see when the smoke clears
{The smoke cleared and the shiny red gundam stepped forward, guns cocked, missiles already airborn, streaking more trails of smoke behind them.}
You live you learn
{"People will be sad if you die!" the girl screamed at him, unafraid of the powerful weapon of war that encased him. "Cathy..."}
You love you learn
{He wanted to protect the other boy.Even though the other boy was completely capable of protecting himself.}
You cry you learn
{He stared at his screen, watching as the noble black suit crumbled into star dust. Something twinkling closer by caught his attention and his eyes refocused. "My. tears."}
You lose you learn
{He moved his suit away from the others, one eye carefully watching his instruments, silently ticking down the seconds until the mobile suit would destruct. So this was going to be the end.}
You bleed you learn
{The dagger was a centimeter off target, slashing white-hot fire across his cheek before embedding itself into the backboard. A red trinkle of blood teased a path down to his chin.}
You scream you learn
{Screams}
Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
{The wall shook with each bang of the bed. The old springs squeaked in harsh protest.}
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)
{His head flew back in a silent scream, his entire body tensing as he shot forth his release. Tiny kisses trailed over his lips and cheek, to his ear. "Love you," the other boy whispered, pressing their sticky bodies inhumanly close.}
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend
{"Would you ever want to be a fireman? Saving people's lives and all?" Duo asked casually, watching a bright red fire engine screaming past. "I mean, if you weren't already a clown or gundam pilot, of course!"}
You live you learn
{"Ah! This is living!" the braided boy exclaimed, leaning back in one of the lawn chairs and sipping from his iced tea.}
You love you learn
{The blond boy dropped a kiss on his nose before pushing up off of him. "Hungry? What would you like for breakfast?" "Whatever you want." The other boy grinned and leaned forward again. "But all I want is *you*."}
You cry you learn
{He curled up into a little ball around his pillow, hiding his face in the cinnamon-and-apple scented cloth, allowing it to soak up all the forbidden tears.}
You lose you learn
{He went back, after waiting at the rendezvous point for two days with no one else showing up. He went back to the battlefield and counted the bodies of the dead.}
You bleed you learn
{Some of them wanted more from him than just a quick, easy, good fuck. Those were the nights Carter spent, patching him back up.}
You scream you learn
{Screams}
You grieve you learn
{He let the rain pour on around him as his shoulders shook with tears.}
You choke you learn
{Gasping for breath, he came to consciousness.}
You laugh you learn
{"Dying hurts like hell," the mocha-colored boy told him. He couldn't help himself; he laughed.}
You choose you learn
{"There's an extra room.if you want it," the smaller boy offered shyly. "Or. or you could, stay here, with me."}
You pray you learn
{Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please}
You ask you learn
{He reached out, hesitantly, to touch the other boy. "May I.?"}
You live you learn
{"Of course, Trowa." Quatre sighed, melting into the touch.}
The End
