Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Family Ties ❯ Chapter 37 ( Chapter 37 )

 

Thanks to Kai-Li

For the wicked-Fast beta

Along with two death threats and a curse!

::huggles::

You are the best!

 

A/N: For the sake of preventing arguments,

I'm saying that it took several hours to find Wu Fei and

then additional time to convince him to participate.

then at least another half an hour to set up.

So if Duo and Tro ate lunch around noon, fell asleep around one…

it was around six when Hiiro performed the execution.

Chapter Thirty-Seven

Trowa woke with a start, covered in cold sweat. The echo of a distant plea whispered in his head. Turning to the boy beside him, he was startled to find the space empty, save for a white envelope addressed to him. ”Quatre…?” He called, taking the envelope and opening it. “Quat?”

 

Quickly skimming the fluent script of his lover, the color drained from the banged boy's face. /”Quatre?”/ He mentally searched, his panic rising when only silence answered. /”QUATRE!”/

 

A sickening realization hit him, nauseating the ex-gundam pilot, as his eyes grew wide. “I can't feel him…”

 

Hastily, the banged teen climbed out of bed, tripping as he pulled on his pants and staggered into the hallway. /”Quatre!?”/ Trowa persisted, as he stumbled down the stairs. “QUATRE!?”

 

“Tro?” Duo's uneasy voice called from the top of the stairs.

 

“Something's happened…” The banged boy shook his head, his eyes wild with fright. “I can't feel him! I can't find him!”

 

“They drugged us, Tro.” Duo groaned, squeezing his eyes shut against the bright light. “Damn them, this is worse then a hangover…”

 

“ARE YOU LISTENING?” The frantic teen screamed, causing his braided friend to flinch. “QUATRE'S GONE! I CAN'T FIND HIM! IT'S TOO QUIET!” The telepath grabbed his head, sinking to his knees, tears streaming down his cheeks unchecked. “It's too quiet… I've gotta find him… It's too quiet…”

 

“Hey! Calm down, Tro!” Duo blinked, his headache taking the back-burner on his priorities as he ran down the stairs. “Trowa?”

 

“What did he do?” The boy shook his head, “QUATRE!!!”

 

“GET A GRIP!” Shinigami shouted, delivering a solid right to his hysterical friend's jaw. “Whatever has happened to Quat, we can't help him if we panic!”

 

Bewildered and lost, the emerald-eyed boy nodded as he calmed himself.

 

“Now, you can't sense Quatre, can you find the others?”

 

The banged telepath closed his eyes in concentration. “I can hear Wu Fei… He's pissed at Hiiro- Scared for Quatre… Oh god…”

 

“What is it?”

 

“H-Hiiro…”

 

“Trowa, tell me.” Shinigami demanded, his voice cold.

 

/”I-I can't…”/

 

“Barton!” The braided boy glared, “YOU HAVE TO!”

 

/”D-Duo… He… He…”/

 

“He went through with the execution.” Shinigami glared, his hands fisted so tightly that his nails were drawing blood. “DAMN YOU!” He screamed.

 

“We have to find them now.” Trowa whispered, “I have to find Quatre.”

 

“Then what are we waiting for?”

 

XxXxX

 

“Hiiro?” Wu Fei whispered, concern lacing his tone. It had been nearly ten minutes and the blonde was still as lifeless as before.

 

“I don't know…” The healer shook his head, “This isn't working…”

 

“Yui, Quatre believed this would work. If he had that much faith, than I know you can do it.” The Chinese boy glared, “What are you doing differently?”

 

“I-I don't know… I can't think!”

 

Wu Fei frowned, “Hiiro… When Duo was dead… You didn't think, did you? You felt, right?”

 

“The pain of losing him was too great…”

 

“What about Quatre? Doesn't the idea of losing him invoke some emotion?”

 

The teen had to think about that, “It… saddens me… but… it's not the same panicked feeling as when it was Duo.”

 

“How would Trowa feel?”

 

Hiiro closed his eyes as he tried to put himself in that frame of mind where the reality of losing his braided lover… of Trowa losing the blonde he was trying to save and the anguish that accompanied it.

 

Wu Fei gasped as his Japanese friend began to glow. The illuminating light spread over the ashen skin of their fallen comrade. `He's doing it…' The Chinese boy realized, his ebony eyes widening in amazement.

 

“HIIIIIIIIRRRRRROOOOO!” A loud voice yelled, splitting the air of concentration. “I'm going to kill you, you bastard!”

 

The Japanese boy faltered and the glow dimmed.

 

“Keep going, Hiiro.” The Chinese teen ordered, turning and running towards the other two pilots that were quickly approaching.

 

“Chang! Where's Quatre!” Trowa demanded once the ebony haired boy reached them. “DAMN IT! Get out of my way!” He swore when his shorter friend would not allow him to pass.

 

“You have to stay away, Barton…” Wu Fei shook his head, “You have to trust Hiiro.”

 

“What the Hell is going on, Fei?” Duo glared as he reached out and grabbed the Oriental's white shirt.

 

“It's Winner's plan.” The Chinese boy answered calmly, “You just have to have faith that Hiiro will succeed.”

 

“In what? Killing my lover?” Trowa snapped, his emerald eyes blazing with fearful fury.

 

“It was Quatre's choice.” The shorter boy reminded.

 

“And you two just HAD to go along with it!?” Duo shouted. “IT didn't matter what WE thought? OR FELT!?”

 

“I can't answer that.” Wu Fei sighed, “You'll just have to trust your partners and take it up with them once this is over.”

 

“Believe me.” Trowa growled, “We will.”

 

XxXxX

 

“Quatre…” Hiiro whispered, tears streaming down his face, as he allowed his emotions to flow freely. “My Friend, please… It's time to come back now… Trowa needs you… Duo needs you… Onegai…?”

 

His embrace tightened around the lifeless blonde, unaware of the glow that brightened around them as he wept. “I know I deserve this pain… But the others do not! Please… Shinigami… Spare Duo's brother… Trowa's angel… Onegai shimasu…”
