The gentle rumble of the engine cut out with the turn of the key. The brunette behind the wheel sat back in his seat, sighing softly as he let his shoulders and lower back relax. It seems like they'd been tense like that for as long as he could remember, maybe he was even born tense like this. He wasn't sure, nor did he want to really take the brain power it would take to think that far back for him. Green eyes turned to the passenger seat where Quatra was curled up, laying his head on the door, gazing out the window, but not really seeing anything he was so lost in his own thoughts.
"Little one?" Trowa called to the smaller male, making Quatra blink and raise his head to look at Trowa, "What's bothering you?"
Quatra merely stared at him for a few seconds before he sighed, scrubbing his eyes over his face, "I am not entirely sure what it is but I have this strange feeling. I feel... I feel like something is going to happen and that nowhere on Earth or the Colonies is a safe place right now."
"Have you ever had this feeling before?"
Quatra shrugged a little, reaching up and scrubbing his fingertips through his hair, "During the wars, I had this feeling all the time, but I grew up with it so I was used to it, and it wasn't as strong as this feeling is. Before, it was just a slight paranoia of being captured while on a mission. This one... I feels like I shouldn't let my guard down even for a second."
Trowa listened intently before he nodded to him, "I understand what you are saying. I don't have a similar feeling, but I am not as in tune with things like you are. What do you think we should do about this feeling?"
Quatra turned his gaze to him, searching his face as if he were looking for the answer to that question from him before he shook his head, "I don't know."
Trowa leaned back into his seat again, tilting his head back to look back up at the roof of the care and nodded, "All right. Come on, little one. We should get inside. The less time Wufei has with Duo, the better."
Inside the house was, as usual, relatively quiet. the only real noise was the loud music coming from Duo's room and the soft shifting as Wufei changed positions in the arm chair he was reading in. hearing them come in, Wufei set his book aside and rose to walk over to them.
"I take it that Yuy is well."
"He is fine. He woke up today, and barely remembers the incident. He remembers what happened before, but he doesn't really remember taking all the pills that he took. All he knows is that he lost control, he hit Duo and Heero became so angry at him and himself that he wanted to kill the both of them. I have Walter talking to him. He should be talking to him right now."
"Good. Yuy will be up and about in no time, especially once Walter clears him." Wufei muttered.
"I am not so sure. Walter isn't going to just let Heero skate on something like this, especially since his reaction to the situation was to self-destruct. Walter might make Heero return to Circles for at least a week."
"Well, either way. I have to leave tonight." Wufei informed them.
"What? Why?" Trowa asked, frowning at the Chinese male.
"I received a e-mail from the Commander of the Branch Preventers down here. He would like my help in training some new recruits. I agreed to it."
"I have to go somewhere tonight, too, Trowa." Quatra murmured softly.
"What? Since when?"
"Earlier this morning. There's a problem with the company that I have to be present to sort out. I'll only be gone tonight."
"Who's going to stay with Duo? Heero's in the hospital."
"I'm only going down the road, Trowa. You stay here with Duo, I'll take Arashi with me as bodyguard and be back before you even know it." Quatra said with a reassuring smile on his face.
Trowa frowned a little before he sighed, nodding, "All right. You do need to go, and Duo wont be able to handle being in a large building like that with so many people so... I'll stay with him, but I want a full report from Arashi when you two come back."
Quatra chuckled before he nodded, "You're such a worry wart."
Trowa smirked, leaning over and nuzzling his nose into the others hair, "And that's one of the things you love about me."
"Ugh. Get a room. Don't flaunt your lovey dove shit while I'm here, single." Wufei grumbled before he returned to his book, the other two smirking at him slyly.
"Technically, this whole house is our room." Trowa started, glancing at Quatra with a small smirk.
"So, technically, if we wanted to screw on this floor, right here, we can." the blond finished, trying hard not to laugh at the tomato red color the now stuttering Chinese man turned before he ran for his room, slamming the door behind him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Be careful, okay? And make sure you call me as soon as you get to the office." Trowa muttered, frowning a little as Quatra handed Arashi his briefcase.
The blond sighed, turning to Trowa, wearing one of his better clothes. A pair of black slacks, a partially buttoned peach shirt and a light black jacket. He looked very much like a businessman, but also looked like he wasn't going to be stuck up when talking to others.
"Trowa, I'm really starting to regret telling you about that feeling I've been having. You're acting more paranoid than usual."
"Well, sue me for not liking that my boyfriend is gallivanting off across town without me." Trowa grumbled.
Quatra blushed before he smiled, leaned up onto the balls of his feet and pressed a quick kiss to Trowa's cheek, "I'm going to be fine. I've done this hundreds of times before."
"Yeah, with me to watch your back."
"Trowa." Quatra groaned exasperatedly.
Trowa wrapped his arms around the smaller male's hips, drawing him closer before he leaned down, pressing their lips together in a deep, passionate kiss that made Arashi blush and avert his gaze. Tongues swiped for a few seconds before the two pulled away, slightly out of breath. Quatra's eyes were glazed over a little as Trowa ran his calloused finger tips through his soft hair.
"I'll see you when you get home."
Blinking out of his stupor, Quatra blushed a light pink before he nodded, smiling to his boyfriend, "Yes. I'll see you tonight. Don't let Duo tire you out."
Trowa chuckled a little as the blond turned and bound down the steps and slid himself quickly into the back seat of the limo before Trowa could delay him any longer. The tall Latin male watched the limo pull away and travel down the road until it reached the front gate, turned and was gone. Once he was sure that his boyfriend had made it out of the estate in one piece, he turned back into the house and into the kitchen where Duo was making himself some ice water.
"Hey, Duo." Trowa said, moving to the table and sitting down at it.
Duo tensed for a second before he turned, looking to Trowa before the fear seemed to ebb away a little and he gave the other a small smile in return, "Hi, Trowa. Did Quatra and Wufei leave?"
"Yeah. Wufei left an hour ago, and I just saw Quatra off. Why? Were you looking for them?"
"No. Nothing like that. I just hadn't seen them since I came out of my room, and I was wondering where they were. That's all."
"Hn. How are you fairing?"
"Making small talk? Never pegged you as one to do so." Duo muttered as he swirled his drink in it's cup to cool the liquid even more.
Trowa shrugged one shoulder, placing his chin in his hand on the table as he watched Duo's twitchy movements closely, "I was just wondering. Heero woke up today."
"He did? Is he okay?" Duo asked.
Trowa smirked at Duo, making the other blush as he realized he answered that a bit quickly and earnestly than was normal for him.
"He's fine. A little shaken up, but he's restrained and Walter is seeing him today."
"So, he'll be let go?" Duo asked.
"I am not sure of that, but I am sure that Walter will find nothing wrong with his behavior. He'll most likely up some of Heero's medications, but other than that, I doubt he'll do anything that could hinder Heero coming home sooner than later."
Duo gave a small smile, shyly looking down into his cup before he nodded, "Good. Can I see him today?"
"Sure. We'll leave in a few minutes. Walter should be about done with him if he's even gotten their on time. That old man is always late for something."
Duo smiled a little again, nodding his head before his smile vanished and he tensed as Trowa's cell phone went off. Trowa smiled to him reassuringly and flipped the phone open.
"Barton."
Duo took a sip of his water to calm his nerves as Trowa talked to the other person on the line before the other male's voice and tone tensed.
"What? What do you mean he's not there? He has to be there. Quatra booked that room for him and for him alone, if he was to be moved for any reason, we were to be notified for clearance! I'll be there in five minutes, Walter." Trowa said before he hung up the phone.
"What's going on?" Duo asked, his body rigid.
"I think someone's kidnapped Heero."
"Huh?"
"Walter went to his room and he wasn't there. None of the nurses know where he is and no one has any paper work that he was to be moved." Trowa rose from his seat, pocketing his phone and going for his keys.
"I'm coming with you." Duo told him as he walked forward.
"You sure?" Trowa asked, looking at Duo closely, who nodded his head tensely, "All right. Go get dressed."
Duo bolted the stairs three at a time, disappearing into his room, not even closing the door behind him in his haste to get dressed to leave. Trowa grabbed ahold of his keys and made for the front door to get the car started while he waited for Duo. He opened the fine oak only to be face to face with a man dressed in a grey suit, perfectly ironed.
"What the hell?" Trowa growled, frowning at the man who had black hair that was neatly slicked back, "If you're looking for Quatra, he's gone for the day."
"Oh, no. You misread me, Mr. Barton. You see, I am here to see you and Mr. Maxwell."
Trowa looked at the slightly shorter male for a few seconds before his body reacted like his mind, on the defensive. No one but the four of them, and Duo's therapists, knew that Duo was here, yet here was a man that Trowa had never seen before at the door, asking for Duo.
"Look. I don't know who you are, but you better leave." Trowa threatened lowly, not liking how the man smiled a little while looking past him.
Trowa turned his head a little to see Duo at the bottom of the stairs, staring at the man in the suit like a deer caught in a pair of headlights, his body visibly trembling. Trowa's instincts screamed even louder as he quickly placed himself further into the house, closer to Duo, shielding the young man from the new person at the door.
"You better leave now before I do something you'll regret."
"Now now, Mr. Barton. There is no need to be so hasty. After all..." the man said, pausing for a second before he smiled a bit sadistically, "The Lord is a very patient man."
"What are- Ugh!" Trowa grunted as he was suddenly tackled to the ground from behind.
Trowa moved to flip him and his attacker but the person had braced their legs at his sides and had one hand pinning his neck, almost cutting off the circulation. Trowa's first thought was to see if Duo was alright until he remembered that the only person who had been behind him, or could've been behind him, wasDuo. Trowa tried to struggle against the hold until a hard blow cracked over the base of his skull, forcing him forward onto the floor where he hit the ground hard. Trowa let out a small groan as the slight weight that had been on him lifted.
Trowa rolled himself the best he could, dazed by the double blows, his vision greying as he looked up to see Duo walking over to the man like a scolded child, head bowed a shoulder's slumped, no longer trembling.
"I'm sorry that I kept our Lord waiting." Duo murmured softly, not flinching as the man pat his shoulder.
"You did perfect, D. Now, get him into my car."
"Yes, sir." Duo murmured against before he turned to Trowa.
"D-Duo?" Trowa grunted out the best he could, trying to fight the darkness threatening to consume him.
He closed his eyes, unable to take the bright light that had been nothing to him before as he was lifted off the floor. Before Trowa passed out, he heard Duo's voice murmuring in his ear in that small voice he did when he was scared half to death.
"I'm sorry, Trowa..."
With that final coherent thought, Trowa felt his consciousness slip away, and he was plunged into darkness that seemed, to him, to be almost eternal.
