“What do you mean Quatre didn't come!?” Duo exclaimed when Trowa delivered the news.

 

“He said that he had too much going on.” The banged boy muttered trying and failing to seem indifferent, as he handed a printed email to the Japanese boy.

 

“That's very unlike Quatre.” Hiiro frowned as he read the short note. “He usually manages to set time aside to see us…”

 

“Guess his priorities changed.”

 

“What did you do?” The braided boy suddenly accused, his shock quickly dissolving into anger.

“What?” Trowa glared down at the slightly shorter boy, “Why do you assume it's my fault that he skipped out?”

 

“It would take something drastic for Quat to miss this, and my gut tells me it has to do with you!”

 

“I haven't seen him in weeks.” Emerald eyes hardened as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Whatever his reason is, it's his reason. It's got nothing to do with me.”

 

Duo blinked, absolutely stunned, “Weeks?” He whispered, the color draining from his face. “You haven't seen him in weeks!?”

 

“Don't you ever listen?” The ex-zero-three grumbled.

 

The braided boy whirled around to address the silent Chinese boy, “Fei… Please tell me that you've at least called Quat?”

 

The obsidian eyes that avoided meeting violet provided an answer, despite the attempt to hide the truth.

 

“I don't believe you two…” Duo shook his head.

 

“When was the last time you spoke to him, Maxwell?” Wu Fei tried to turn the tables of guilt.

 

“Two days ago.” Shinigami shook his head as he recalled the conversation, “Damn it, I knew something was bothering him! I can't believe you would do this!”

 

“Don't make assumptions until you have all the facts.” Trowa stated, his tone clipped with tight restraint.

 

“Where is he?” Duo demanded, glaring at the banged boy.

 

“The server address is from L4.” Hiiro said, handing the paper to his lover.

 

“Damn it!” Duo swore, crushing the email in his fist as he left to find a vid-phone.

 

OoOoOoO

 

“So what happened?” Duo demanded as soon as the blonde had answered the phone.

 

/“I don't know what you're talking about.”/ The teenager on the other end shook his head, averting his eyes.

 

“Don't give me that shit, Quat!” The braided boy snapped. “I want to know what happened!”

 

/“Did it ever occur to you that maybe it's none of your damn business?”/

 

“Q, you're like my brother. If they hurt you, then that is my business.” His violet eyes flashed with the truth of that statement. “Just tell me.”

 

/“It's a long story.”/

 

“I've got time.”

 

/“I don't' know where to begin…”/

 

“How about the beginning?”

 

/“Duo…”/

 

“Here, I'll even get'cha started…” Duo gave a knowing grin to the spectators of his phone conversation as they shifted uncomfortably. “Once upon a time, there were five kids who were given the responsibility of saving the world.”

 

/“This isn't a fairy tale, Duo.”/ Quatre protested.

 

“Are you ready to tell the story?”

 

/“…”/

 

“No?” Duo cocked an eyebrow. “Then I'll tell it my way. They were given the responsibility of saving the world. Not once but twice. It sucked, but they did it and survived to tell about it. Afterwards, everyone was either afraid of them or hated them so much that they wished for the kids' deaths.”

 

/“Duo, please…”/ Quatre pleaded miserably.

 

“But I'm getting to the good part, Quat.” The braided boy continued. “The five kids began to realize that no one would ever understand them or the horrors that they had endured other than each other. Two paired off quickly, and lived happily together. Would you like details on the wild monkey sex those two had?”

 

/“Duo, I'm begging you…”/

 

“The other three felt deeply about one another, but didn't have the courage to share what plagued their hearts. So an endless waltz began; a long torturous dance around the truth.”

 

/“DUO- STOP!”/ The blonde nearly screamed, tears streaming down his face as he desperately tried to block what the other boy was saying, by wrapping his arms tight around himself. /“YOU think you know everything! But you DON'T!”/

 

“Humor me. Am I even close?”

 

/“Why are you pushing this!?”/ Quatre demanded. /“Why can't you just let this be!?”/

 

Duo looked at the three who where standing behind the phone, out of the camera's view. Hiiro looked mildly pissed. Whether it was because of the other two, or because Duo was making Quatre upset, the braided boy didn't know. Trowa and Wu Fei, on the other hand, appeared to be in a prison of self-denial and heartache as well as a mutual hatred of each other. The pain that could be heard in the blonde's voice was tangible and they felt responsible for it, however, they both equally blamed the other for it as well.

 

“You're miserable, Quatre.” He finally answered, meeting the sorrowful azure eyes of the boy on the screen. “I can't stand to see you like this. I want to help.”

 

/”You want to help?”/ The blonde snapped, /”Then stay the fuck out of my life and leave me the hell alone!”/

 

“Swearing doesn't become you, Q.” Duo chastised. “Why can't you just tell me?”

 

/“You want to know what happened!?”/ The boy hissed, /“You want to know what they did?”/

 

“Yes.”

 

/“Nothing! They didn't do a damned thing!”/ Quatre spat, his sorrow turning into bitter anger. /“It was me! It's MY fault! MY FAULT! THEY wanted me to make a choice and I couldn't! ONE or NONE they said! CHOOSE they said! But I couldn't and now I'm alone! I'm ALONE and it's MY FAULT!”/

 

“Quatre…” Shinigami sighed as he glared menacingly at the culprits. “Start at the beginning.”

 

/“Why? You already think you know everything!”/

 

“I don't know details, Quat. Only you can give me those.”

 

“So can Trowa and Wu Fei! Why don't you go ask them and leave how I should be left: Alone!”

 

Violet eyes narrowed as he glared at the fore-mentioned culprits. Although he had suspected his two friends were responsible, he needed the blonde's accusation before he could take appropriate measures. “Believe me, Quat. As soon as I hear your side of the story, I'll get their sad excuses.”

 

Emerald and Ebony shifted away from the angry violet only to be met with pissed off Prussian. Any thoughts of leaving and disappearing quickly fled their minds with the silent threat the trained assassin was sending them.

 

Silence followed as the other boy tried to reign in his emotions before he started to speak, /“I-It was just after the Eve war… Trowa didn't want to return to the c-circus… but he had promised Catherine... W-Wu Fei had decided to join Preventers… and I…”/

 

“Went back to Winner Enterprises.” Duo prompted when his friend trailed off.

 

/“Yeah.” / The blonde seemed to calm down as he continued to talk. /“I went back to WE…”/

 

OoOoOoO

 

To be continued…
