Chapter 1
Quatre's not sure when it started. He knew it had happened a long time ago, probably when they first met, but he wasn't positive.
All he knew was that he was in love with Heero Yuy.
Quatre truely wished he could tell Heero how he felt. But he seriously doubted that Heero was, well...that way. Even if he was, Quatre was afraid that Heero would try to kill him just like how he tries to kill Relena, the girl he supposedly likes. Quatre reasoned that he was trying to prove that he was macho. For some reason Heero saw love and affection as a weakness. He would probably see being gay as an embarassment. With these thoughts, Quatre kept his feelings to himself. He didn't confide in anyone for fear that they would hate him.
He, Ms. Noin, Trowa and Duo finally found Heero, and asked him to join them. After Quatre joined up with Noin, they had set out to find the other four Gundam pilots, so they could join forces against the Romafeller Foundation. Finding Heero was a stroke of luck, not only for the other pilots, but for Quatre as well. He just felt better when he was fighting next to Heero.
"Hey, Heero!" Duo called out when Heero landed his Wing Zero and climbed out. "Long time no see, buddy!" Duo stuck his hand out, but Heero walked past like he didn't see him.
"Well, excuse me, Mr. Anti-social." Duo pouted.
"Heero!" Quatre said. "Great to see you!" Tears came unbidden to his eyes at the sight of the cause of many sleepless nights.
Ms. Noin came forward, Trowa not far behind. "Welcome, Heero Yuy." She said.
Heero hesitated at the sight of Ms. Noin's hand, but then grabbed it and shook quickly.
"We've been looking for you," Noin said. "We want you to join us in fighting against the Romafeller Foundation. What do you say?"
Heero thought for a second, and looked like he was going to say no, but then he looked at Quatre. Quatre got goosebumps.
"Well, okay." Heero said.
"Wonderful." Noin said. "We'll be laying low for a while, so if the Wing Zero needs any repairs, we can have a team work on it."
"I can repair my own mobile suit, thank you." Heero said coldly.
"Whatever." Noin said, turning away and going back to her quarters. "Make youself at home." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several days later, Quatre was doing everything in his power to get his mind off of Heero, who obviously felt for his Gundam more than he felt for any living person.
He's a jerk, Quatre thought. Forget him, Quatre. You're better off without him. And yet, he couldn't stop thinking about how Heero looked at him the other day.
He is beautiful, Quatre admitted to himself as he picked up his violin. He put the bow to the strings and began to play. To his surprise what came out was a song that sounded strong, yet powerfully angry. Quatre didn't know why he started banging that out, but he stopped and began a softer one, a favorite of his.
Soon Quatre finished his song. He felt so much more relaxed. Then came the clapping at his doorway.
