Quatre Winner\'s Diary

Febuary: The Truth Comes Out

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Friday, Feb. 17th
11:22pm

I had the best day ever. I woke up this morning to the most beautiful sight. Trowa was sitting on my bed, smiling down on me.

\"I\'m a little disappointed that you decided to wear clothes to bed, Quatre,\" he said when I was conscious enough to comprehend awareness.

\"I figured that since I hadn\'t kissed you yet, that it might be presumptuous to allow you to see me mostly naked.\" I wore pajamas to bed just in case something like this happened.

\"I said disappointed and not surprised. Now get out of bed.\"

\"Bossy aren\'t we?\"

\"Yes.\"

\"Okay, give me five minutes.\" I was so glad I\'d taken a shower the night before, because I wanted nothing more then to spend every second of the day with him, but I wasn\'t going to let him watch me dress.

When I entered the main part of my apartment, Trowa\'s jaw dropped. I knew I looked good. Of course I left the coat in the front closet. No need to wear it inside.

Trowa looked good, but as I said before, he\'d look good in a paper sack. And he was really sweet. He had breakfast all ready for me. It wasn\'t anything impressive: toast, tea, and scrambled eggs, but it was all really good. Better than I could do ny rny rate. After breakfast he said we could do anything I wanted. I, of course, didn\'t think that was fair, so I made him a deal. We\'d do one thing I wanted and then one he wanted until the whole day was used up. Which was how we ended up going at FAO Schwartz.

It was a little after noon when we arrived there, after we had lunch in a nice little deli. We spent the morning walking around the park [1] (it\'s beautiful all covered in snow) and talking. I found out how he became a circus clown (his parents had been in the circus and after they died, the other performers took him and Cathy in) and he discovered just how my father had thirteen wives (they were all married back in Saudi before he moved the family to the states.) He even told me about the lions that he worked with back in his circus days, which is why we went to the toy store.

I left him in the Lego section before I scrambled off to the stuffed animals. I found the most beautiful, soft, stuffed lion. One of those realistic-looking ones from the company that donates half it\'s proceeds to the rainforest. It was pretty big too. I snuck over to the cashier and bought it.

I found Trowa in the Barbie department, although I\'m not sure why, watching two little girls play with the dolls. It was sweet. I walked right up behind him since he was distracted, and pulled the stuffed lion in front of my face, tapping his shoulder with the paw. \"Trowa.\" I know he turned because I could feel the air move, but he didn\'t say anything. \"Trowa, I\'m cute. Don\'t you want to pet me?\" I looked at him over the toy\'s head, just in time to see him chuckle.

The next thing I knew, his finger was under my chin, rubbing lightly. I just leaned into it, mostly because it felt good. \"Trowa, what are you doing?\" I asked while he was still petting.

\"Scritching.\"

\"Well, you\'re supposed to scritch the lion.\" Then it stopped and I almost whimpered because of that, until his hand cupped meek.eek. I opened my eyes and met his green ones immediately.

\"Am I?\"

\"Uh-huh.\" So he started to pet the stuffed animal, without moving his other hand or eyes. I\'m not sure how long we stood there like that, but neither of us moved until a very familiar set of voices gave a resounding chorus of \"ahhh.\"

Knowing that I was turning beet red, I buried my head in the lion groaning, \"Lena.\"

\"Ladies, you seem to have embarrassed my date.\" He\'s defending me. How sweet.

\"Ladies!\" all three cried together before falling into a fit of giggles.

\"Little brother, you know better then to call me a lady.\" God, Cathy caught us on a date.

\"Come on Quatre. Show us that lovely blush I know you\'re wearing.\" And Dorothy. This couldn’t get any worse.

\"Relena, who are you calling?\" Cathy asked. I just couldn\'t look.

\"Duo. I finally know something before he does.\" All I could do was groan again.

\"Trowa, we need to get out of here.\"

\"Duo? It\'s Lena, guess what!?\"

\"I know little one.\"

\"No. You\'re terrible.\"

\"Do you think we can just run for it?\"

\"They\'re blocking the exit.\"

\"So Cathy, Dorothy, and I went into the FAO and you\'ll never guess what we stumbled on.\"

\"Kill me now.\" I know I was squeaking from embarrassment, but I don\'t think Trowa minded much, mostly use use he hugged me in really close, like he was trying to protect me. God, he smells good.

\"Dorothy, look.\" Cathy sounded like a proud big sister. I guess that\'s okay, right?

\"Lena...Lena...Lena...Turn around...Turn around.\" Okay, Dorothy sounding like a teenager was just scary.

\"Ohhh...\" But not as scary as Lena squeaking on the phone to Duo. I was never going to hear the end of this. \"Okay, I\'ll tell you, just shut up for one minute. Right there, in the middl the the Barbie section…yes the Barbie section. Trowa and Quatre were standing there…Duo do you want to you hear this or not?\"

\"You know there\'s more than one exit, right Trowa?\"

\"We\'d never make it in time.\"

\"Fine, then shut up. So they were standing kind of close. Q had the most adorable stuffed lion…Yes, a stuffed lion…Okay, now tell that boyfriend of yours to stop laughing…\"

\"At least Heero\'s laughing too.\" If the mortification was going to hap I\' I\'m glad it\'s going to be shared.

\"I\'m never going to hear the end of this,\" Trowa groaned, putting his face into my hair.

\"No, I don\'t know what the lion\'s name, and I\'m not going to ask hi…Fine. Trowa, Heero thinks you should name it Shemp.\"

\"Tell him to go to hell.\" I think Cathy was laughing uncontrollably at that.

\"Duo, tell Heero to go to hell…Yes I know…Uh huh…So now you want me to go on? Fine. So Trowa was petting the lion with one hand and ttherther was cupping one of Q\'s cheeks…No they were just staring at each other…I don\'t think they were about to kiss, why?…No we\'re not that stupid.\" This was where Dorothy lost it. The whole thing was absurd. Really. Especially since we could just imagine what Duo was saying on the other end. \"Yes that\'s when we interrupted…Right now…Well, Q\'s face is buried in the lion, which is pressed up between the two, because Trowa\'s giving him a hug and burrowing hace ace in Q\'s hair…No, I don\'t think they should kiss. Let them go at their own pace…Yes I know that it\'s the pace of a retarded snail…No you cannot talk to them…Ah, um, Duo give the phone to Heero…No I don\'t want to know what you two were doing before I called…Well, thank God for that…Heero, if you don\'t want Duo to lose that tongue I\'d sugg…No…Well thank you Mr. Yuy, but really…I am not allowing you two to interrupt again…Yes, I know that you little bastards are partly responsible for their relationship. You forget that Duo called me on the way to your place…I don\'t care if I wasn\'t called first…Yes, I\'m going to call Wufei…You two are incorrigible…Yeah, you too. Bye.\"

“Trowa, can I die now?” I really did want to crawl under a little rock and die. At least he was hiding a little of my embarrassment.

“Not yet,” he replied before adding in a whisper, “I still haven’t gotten to kiss you yet.”

Shortly after that with a little more teasing, the ladies left us alone and we quickly vacated the building, but not until I assured Trowa that I did buy him the lind Ind I wasn’t going to take no for an answer. Then we noticed it started snowing, so, being logical human gs, gs, we went to the closest video store to my house, rented a few old movies, and settled down in front of my TV. There’s nothing better to do on a cold day then watch old movies and cuddle with your boyfriend. And yes, we did watch the movies. All the way through. I couldn’t believe he’d never seen \"Some Like it Hot\" [2]. I don’t know what he found funnier, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis cross-dressing or the delusional man who fell in love with them. But he couldn’t believe I called myself a Marilyn Monroe fan and I’d never seen \"How to Marry a Millionaire\" [3]. I’ll admit, I loved that one. Then we watched \"Marnie\" [4]. Shawn Connery in a Hitchcock movie. Oh that was yummy. Somewhere in the marathon we ordered pizza and made popcorn. He even let me feed him.

After the last movie was done, well, we were just too comfortable to move. Could you blame me though? He’s so warm, soft, and he just smells so good. Somehow the sound of his heart and the steadiness of his breathing lulled me to sleep.

I woke up about a half hour ago, embarassed that I drifted off on him, but he didn’t seem to mind. I think he fell asleep too, because he looked a little groggy.

“Mr. Winner, I didn’t think you were the kind of person to p wip with someone on the first date.” He has a way with words when I just wake up, but I didn’t mind. I wasn’t relinquishing my position anytime soon. In fact all I did was giggle and snuggle in closer. He smells good, did I say that yet?

It was around that time he mentioned it was still snowing. We turned on the news and they mentioned icy conditions and I had a good excuse for him to stay. He’s sleeping on the couch right now. I’m going to go to sleep now so I can see him firsing ing in the morning. I can’t wait to get up.

1. As I\'ve only been to New York once, but from what I saw of Manhattan, there\'s only one park and it\'s named Central. And yes you can spend all morning walking though it. It\'s huge! We never went in though, my sister was scared of being mugged. Thank you Mom for making her so frightened she locked herself in the bathroom.

2. This is a really great old movie. I love it. I own it. The song, \"I Wanna Be Loved By You\" was performed in this movie. I thought it fit.

3. If you’ve never seen this one running on AMC, go rent it. It’s halarious. Seriously funny. Marilyn plays a pratically blind model who’s so vain that she doesn’t wear her glasses. Stars Lauren Bacall, Betty Grable, and Marilyn Monroe as three models who are trying to marry rich. It’s a lovely comedy of errors. Got an Acadmey Award nod for best costumes.

4. \"Marnie\" starred Sean, like I said, Diane Baker, and Tippi Harden (the chick from The Birds.) Wonderful Hitchcock drama/mystery that could pass as a phycological thriller in today’s market. Theft, intruige, love, and a really interesting twist at the end, but isn’t that always the way Alfred did things. Yet, another Hitchcock blonde and mother though. Not really scary. At least not \"The Birds\" or \"Psycho\", but still worth tho hoo hours.

I like old movies, can you tell?
