Good Things Come in Small Packages...

Part Five
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Trowa had only been in bed for an hour when a soft knock dragged him out again.
The French/Latino pilot mumbled something about tying the kids down at night as
he moved to open the door, only to find that, for once, it wasn't Chibi Heero.

"Oh, Wufei," he said, immediately thinking he sounded idiotic but then again he
was tired. "Something up?"

The Chinese pilot felt bad for disturbing his friend, but he'd finally come to
terms with what he'd heard earlier, and he wanted to reveal his feelings before
he lost the nerve. He drew a deep breath and asked, "Can I come in for a
minute?"

Trowa nodded and stepped aside to allow his friend to enter, then pushed the
door half-way closed; he never knew when the Japanese child would make an
appearance. It was odd how the boi never seemed to stay in his own room for the
entire night, but the brunette shrugged it off. It had to be some sort of 'kid
thing' that he had missed out on.

Wufei sat down on the edge of the bed, waiting for the other teen to join him
before he spoke: "Did the bois give you any trouble this evening? I know
they're used to me reading them their bedtime story, but...."

"Iie," Trowa replied, smiling slightly in spite of how worn out he was from
chasing after the five chibis all day. "They were perfect angels... but somehow
I doubt you read them six stories before you tuck them in."

"No, just one... most of the time." The sloe-eyed teen smiled slightly, then
said, "They certainly do ask a lot of questions, though."

"...yeah, they do."

"Although, I *am* a bit surprised that they haven't asked about our relationship
to one another."

"..." Trowa blinked at Wufei, slowly putting two and two together. "You
overheard, didn't you?"

"Hai."

"Ah." The emerald-eyed teen licked his lips, which were suddenly way too dry,
and began to pluck at the edge of the blanket. About five minutes passed in
silence before he spoke again: "I meant it."

"I know."

"And you're okay with it?"

Wufei cleared his throat and waited until Trowa lifted his gaze again. Once
their eyes met, he said, "Actually, I've been trying to figure out how to tell
you that I've fallen for you."

"Na...?" Trowa said, completely stunned. He hadn't even dared to hold on to the
hope that the feeling was mutual, and this revelation left him reeling. "Honto
desu ni? You aren't just trying to make me feel better or some--"

The Chinese boi waited for the right moment to cut off the flow of words,
leaning forward and claiming the stammering teen's lips in a sweet and
undemanding kiss. Trowa squeaked slightly in surprise, then relaxed and
returned it with almost heartbreaking innocence. The kiss never grew demanding,
but it was filled with a gentle passion that left both teens breathless when
they parted.

The slender teen then embarrassed himself by yawning. "Oh! gomen... I didn't
get much sleep last night...."

Wufei smiled and gave the boi another kiss. "Completely understandable. You
need your sleep, Tro. I'll go check on the bois and then turn in myself."

"Um... if you want... anou... you can sleep here...." Trowa was quite certain
that his face was red, and he wondered why he even offered. But the thought of
the ebony-tressed teen leaving after finally revealing his true feelings was
undesirable to say the least.

Onyx eyes blinked, then smiled as Wufei nodded. Wordlessly, Trowa climbed back
into bed as his love stripped away the ever-present tank top before joining him.
The new couple curled up together and soon drifted off into a peaceful slumber,
each wrapped warmly in the arms of the one he loved.
