NOTES: As warned in the Teaser, this fic has some ROUGH content. There is discussion of Non-Con situations along with a lot of emotional angst. Also I'm just the editor on this Fic. Much of the creative content along with the voices of Wufei and Heero belong to Bonne and credit should be given to her for the wonderful protrayals. Any corrections for grammer and the like can come my way. :D
June 2000
Quatre looked up from the report he was reading when he heard Duo come crashing down the stairs.
"Quatre!! They're back."
Duo's excited voice carried through from the hallway. Quatre grinned and threw the report down on his desk. He jumped lightly out of his large desk chair and wove his way through his study, heading towards the foyer as well.
Trowa, Heero and Wufei had been sent out on an assignment four days ago. Both Duo and Quatre had been puzzled that they had been held back but Sally Po had insisted that 02 and 04 were not required. Now, Duo practically danced at the front door, waiting for the return of his lover.
"Duo, you look like a cat who's ready to pounce!" Quatre laughed at the American, both of them feeling relief that the rest of their team was returning in one piece.
Duo just shot Quatre a look and yanked the front door open.
"Hey there Heer...yike!" Duo's cheerful greeting got strangled off as a grim Heero grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him forward.
Quatre blinked in surprise as Heero shoved a letter at him without a word before taking Duo and heading up the stairs towards the room they shared. Quatre looked towards Wufei who just breezed by him without a word or a glance, heading down the hall towards the room that the Dragon called his own.
Left alone in the foyer, Quatre looked back down at the letter in his hand. Flipping it over he read his name on the front. The crisp distinctive scrawl was Trowa's. Sighing softly, Quatre looked once more out the door but realized his lover wasn't coming home tonight. Moving towards his study, Quatre opened the end of the letter and dropped out the single piece of paper.
That was his Trowa, a man of few words, either spoken or written. Quatre smiled to himself. Flipping the neatly folded pages open Quatre read the quick paragraph and stopped dead in his tracks.
He read through again.
And a third time.
~Beloved,
I wish I could have come home to you tonight but someone needed to stay here and finish the paperwork. The mission went, completely wrong. I'm all right. Heero and Wufei took the brunt of the worst of what happened. Tonight, Heero has Duo and though he doesn't know it, Wufei has you. Follow your heart little one. Know that mine goes with you.
Quatre read it through one last time, then folded the paper up neatly and slid it into the pocket of his pants. Standing in the center of his study Quatre stared at the pattern in the carpet, his thoughts chasing each other and his heart felt like it was twisting in his chest.
