There was something about music that always managed to convey the darkest recesses of his restrained soul. Whether it was a joyous occasion or the most gut wrenching sorrow that words in themselves couldn't hope to express, there was always a song or melody that matched the mood.

 

Even now, his slender fingers played across the ivory keys in the despairing notes of an old ballad; a single hearts plea for love. Unknowingly, his quiet tenor began to intone the melancholy melody in a revered whisper of sound.

 

Notice me
Take my hand
Why are we
Strangers when
Our Love is Strong
Why carry on without me

 

His eyes closed as he felt unshed tears burn in his eyes. He hadn't cried since that day. He would not cry now. He was stronger than that! But it was futile- He knew it was. He came here because he needed release… the kind that could only be found in the measured flow of notes.

 

Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby

And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, your haunting me
I guess I need you baby

How unexpected a life can be sniffed out. Everyone was in a state of numb shock. Out of all of them, they never thought that he'd be the one to die- leaving them so soon- Leaving him alone. He had seemed untouchable-invincible.

I make believe
That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easily

 

Here in the solitude of the music room, he could pretend that none of it had happened. That he was still alive and they were still together. Life could be everything that they had dreamed of and more.

 

And everytime I try
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby

 

With the crescendo came more emotion and he found that he couldn't stop the tears. The solitary longing in the song was an echo of what he could not voice. It was the only way he could be heard. Here in this sanctuary from the world.

 

I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song is for my sorry
Ohhhh
At night I pray
That soon your face
Will fade away

 

And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby

 

As the song came to an end, he became aware that there was a presence at the doorway. Forlornly, he lifted his azure eyes to meet the grieving emerald. For a brief moment, he held that gaze before it, along with his heart, was broken.

 

“Trowa?” Duo's voice carried from down the hall, concern for the banged pilot lacing his words, “What are you doing, Buddy?”

 

Sadly, the Heavyarms pilot glanced back at the music room, “I thought I heard …”

 

Normally bright amethyst eyes softened sympathetically. “Come on, Tro.” The braided teen encouraged gently, wrapping an arm around the taller boy's shoulders and pulling him away from the empty room, carefully shutting the door. “None of us should be alone right now.”

 

Quatre sighed, his fingers played across the ivory keys.

 

And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
