Every Breath You Take
Chapter 6


Catherine looked around the corner, what is that hussy talking about with Trowa? Since Relena's arrival the tension between Trowa and herself had increased, and this worried Catherine. For the first time Catherine worried about their age difference. Is he interested in that girl? It was obvious that Relena was interested, the way her eyes had glazed when Trowa had gone shirtless had given her away, Catherine had wanted to smack her. She had hoped that Miss High Class would soon feel uncomfortable and leave, but her wishes hadn't come to pass, on the contrary, every day she fitted better. And now your following MY guy. Grrr. "Relena want to help me with target practice?" Catherine whispered in a sugary voice and smiled at the prospect of having Relena on her sights.

>>>>>>>>

The next morning, Trowa and Relena spent the day close together, Trowa started teaching her a high wire act, in which he walked the high wire while holding Relena. Relena kept making Trowa lose his balance and they would fall to the net below, fortunately the net was close and instead of being scared Relena found it amusing. Every time they fell, Trowa would protect her with his body and carry a giggling Relena out.

Relena found that flirting with Trowa was no hardship, the guy had a great body and beneath his usual solemn expression, he had a great sense of humor. Heero, only taller and with a great sense of humor, came the unbidden thought.

Trowa found Relena refreshing and was surprised to discover her wicked sense of humor. No, it certainly wasn't a hardship to flirt with her or feel her womanly body pressing him every time they fell. Knowing that Heero was watching just added the cherry on top of this delicious banana split.

Catherine's take on the situation was not so benevolent, She's falling on purpose! She kept throwing knives to the blank target area picturing Relena there.

>>>>>>>

Better, but not good enough. Thought Duo when he had the chance to escape and take a peek as his computer. Hilde had gotten on her female brain to reorganize the shop and was giving him little time to keep tabs on Relena/Trowa and Heero. Not having the sound link was a great disadvantage, but he did not have an excuse to go back and place one. Come on! Trowa you can do better!

>>>>>>

Et tu Brutus? Will my best friend hit on Relena too? Who does he think is watching the vidlinks? Heero tortured himself in silence. After the debacle with Quatre he had regained his exterior control, but his insides where more weary of any moves made by his 'friends' towards Relena. What do they think this is? Open season for Relena hunting?

>>>>>>>>

After they got tired of 'practicing' the high wire act, Trowa asked Relena to accompany him to the Lions cage.

"Oh, Trowa they are so beautiful, but is so sad that they are caged. I guess they can't be released."

"I'm afraid not, they have lost the instincts to survive in the wild. Sometimes I'm afraid that something like that will happen to me."

"What do you mean?"

"That I will lose my instinct to fight."

Relena considered his words and wondered if this could be true. "Would, not fighting, be so bad."

"Do you want to go inside the cage and touch them?"

"Huh? Me?"

"Are you afraid?"

"Yes!" They stared at each other.

"Do you trust me Relena?"

"Yes…"

Trowa unlocked the cage and extended his hand towards Relena. Relena placed her hand in his, Trowa gave it a gentle squeeze and they both entered the cage. Relena tried to remain behind him but he pulled her beside him, as he slowly propelled them closer to the lions. With his free hand he touched his old friends, then he pulled Relena's hand to touch the lion.

"Oh, Trowa!"

Trowa sat down on the cage's floor, still holding on to Relena's hand. Relena looked at the dirty floor and scrunched her nose in disgust.

"You can sit in my lap if you want to," smirked Trowa.

Relena looked at him, "Are you daring me?"

Trowa shrugged uncommitted and to his surprise Relena sat on top of him. His hands instinctively went around her waist to hold her to him. Relena smiled in triumph.

Maybe this hadn't been such a good idea! Catherine was always hovering, he couldn't get to her but she didn't let him get to anyone else either. Having a beautiful, friendly, young woman in his lap was beyond tempting. He tried to think about something else, like the cameras that could be watching and Heero's temper.

"Do you want to fight, Trowa?"

"No, but I don't want to end like my friends here with no freedom. Do you think that fighting is always wrong."

"No, I believe in avoiding useless fighting but I have learned that sometimes you have to fight no matter how much you try to avoid it."

"You've grown up." And in more ways than that, thought Trowa ruefully, feeling her delicious derriere on top of him. He raised his hand to his hair and caressed it. "You're right, sometimes you shouldn't fight, in others fight and in others still you should just surrender."

I'm sorry Heero, I surrender, his head closed the distance between them and Relena met him halfway. The kiss was more sweet than passionate but they both left it a little breathless.

Silent tears rolled down Relena's eyes and Trowa gently wiped her soft cheeks. "Shh, it will be okay. It will be okay."

"I know Trowa, don't worry… it's just so sad… we both love other people and yet we find ourselves alone and in need of a loving gesture."

Relena stood up and Trowa followed. They exited the cage and walked holding hands and in silence to the main circus tent.

>>>>>>>

Duo arrived to watch the screens and found an interesting scene.

Whoa! What did I miss? What's Relena doing in Trowa's lap? He, he, finally some action! Oooo… they're kissing! Where are you Heero? He searched the different Preventer cameras but couldn't find him. Damn, what's the point if you're not watching. Hellooo!! Get back to your computer Heero, your friend is kissing your non-girlfriend! Arg, Quatre! This is your fault, why couldn't you give her a bracelet or something!

Duo went back to the circus cameras and looked for the lovey pair. "Shit!! Shit!! Heero where the fuck are you? Shit! Relena is in danger!!!" He stared impotently at the screen as a group of six big guys surrounded Trowa and started throwing punches. "Yeah! Trowa kick their ass! Watch it, watch it!! Oh shit! Yeah, yeah, that's it kick him, kick him! Whoa, Relena be careful!" He watched as Relena took what appeared to be a pipe holding the side of the tent stiff, and swung it at the back of one of the attackers. "Good for you Relena!" The fight was soon over and Duo sighed it relief. He watched as Trowa walked away limping and leaning on Relena.

>>>>>>>>

"What the HELL happened to you?" yelled Catherine.

"We were attacked by six trouble makers…" began Relena.

Catherine rounded on Relena and kept yelling, "This is your fault! He was protecting you, wasn't him? You should go back to your fancy life and leave him alone!"

"Catherine! That's enough!" Trowa scowled at Catherine. "This is certainly NOT her fault, they were just some drunks looking for trouble. As a matter of fact Relena helped me, which is more than what you're doing right now!"

Catherine looked close to tears so Relena, ever the diplomat, interfered, "Catherine, we can discuss this later, but Trowa needs to put that foot in ice to stop the swelling…"

"I know what to do!" Catherine huffed and left in search of ice. At her return, she bandaged Trowa's cuts and placed the foot in ice. "Well, I guess our show is ruined tonight."

" I could take Trowa's place in the knife throwing act, I don't have to do anything, just stand there."

"No!" said Trowa.

"Yes!" said Catherine, yes, definitively yes!
