Lost

He looked around as they entered the apartment. Quietly noting the pictures that seemed to litter the apartment. Some of the were made by Maxwell during the war. Others were obviously made afterwards. He was surprised to see a few of himself in there as well. “I thought you were all going to move in together?”

Trowa shrugged. “We did for a while. I moved out and joined to circus for a while. Afterwards I got tired of the crowds and joined the preventers. Instead of moving back in with Duo and Quatre I moved here. Heero lives by himself as well. Though from the way Zechs keeps eyeing him he won’t be alone for long.”

He nearly chocked on the shock. “Yuy and Merquise?” Somehow he couldn’t picture it. He couldn’t picture Relena Peacecraft allowing it either. The woman had spent an entire war stalking him. Surely she wouldn’t allow he brother to move into her territory and snatch up her prey. “And Peacecraft didn’t intervene.”

Trowa smiled. “She is a bit busy with her own lover at the moment. And I believe that Dorothy is the jealous type.” He nearly chocked again. “The sadist and the pacifist. Together.” He shook his head as sat down. He felt like he could be knocked over with a feather. “Right? And I suppose you are going to tell me Une found ever lasting love in the arms of Rashid.” Trowa’s put on a straight face. “Well actually…” His mouth fell open and he gaped up at Trowa. “Une is still single. As far as I know at least.”

Wufei slowly closed his mouth. “Right. Anything else I should know about. “Did you know about Quatre and Duo yet.” Wufei frowned and shook his head. “I always thought Winner was more interested in you. And Maxwell usually seemed rather attached to Yuy.” Trowa shook his head. “Not really. I think Heero was more of challenge then an interest. Duo always did like to draw people out. As for Quatre, he was interested but I didn’t return those interests. He’s moved on since then.” He nodded. Made a certain amount of sense. “And you?” He asked almost hesitantly. “No one yet.” Trowa answered simply.

“Would you like some tea.” He nodded in reply and watched as Trowa made his way to the kitchen. After a little while he came out with tea, a couple of sandwiches and his medication. The stuff he had to take three times a day and he absolutely loathed. Grudgingly he took the pills and swallowed them down with a glass of water. They ate their lunch quietly. After it was finished Trowa collected the plates and placed them back into the kitchen.

“Come on. I’ll show you the rest.” Quietly he fallowed Trowa to the bedroom. “We’ll have to share since this is the only room. I hope that isn’t to much trouble.” He looked around the room, noting the king-sized bed in the middle of the opposite wall that took up most of the room, along with a couple of dressers that lined one wall. “It’s big enough.” He stated simply. Not wanting to think of sleeping next to another warm body yet. Trowa walked over to one of the dressers and opened a couple of drawers. “You can put your clothes away here.” He nodded and placed his bag on the bed.

“This door leads to the bathroom.” Trowa opened the door and led them inside. The bathroom was quite big for an apartment like this. A bathtub dominated one wall while a shower cubicle dominated another corner. In the middle sat a toilet and sink. “There is plenty of hot water so you don’t have to worry about that.” Trowa opened a door under the cupboard underneath the sink. “There are towels in here. When you’re done with them just place them inside the hamper over there. I will see to it that they get washed.

He then led them back to the living room and showed him a balcony door hidden behind one of the curtains. “You can sit outside and enjoy the sun. Or simply meditate. This place is quiet enough in the late morning or early afternoon. And we get some nice sun here.” After that Trowa showed him the kitchen. “You’ll find plates and cups over here. In this drawer you will find any cutlery you need and over there you will find the pots and pans. Food stuff is over there. Feel free to get whatever you want any time you wish.” He nodded again. “I think I’ll go over to the balcony for a while is you don’t mind.” Trowa simple nodded and left him to it.

He found a nice mat to sit on and took a place against the wall. His mind was still reeling from all the information he was just given. And he still hadn’t been told what they needed him for or why they were bothering with him. Why was he here?
