Moments ago, it seemed, that he sat upright in his war machine, ready to go for the kill, with his fingers poised aptly above the detonate button. He had OZ at a complete disadvantage. They wouldn't suspect the opening act would be in the face of his myriad of missle launchers. He was so ready for the show to draw to its abrupt and explosive finale. Trowa Barton, a guerilla fighter, a cold blooded killer, and a hero. He wouldn't burden his family with his existance any longer, and he'd take his enemies into Hell with him.

 

 

With eyes burning, with the same kind of rage as the lion the just couldn't be tamed, Cathy came along, and put her foot down right at the foot of his Gundam.

 

 

After her foot met the ground, her hand met his face, and the walls began to crumble, along with the OZ invaders.

 

 

Even when lying in bed three hours later, he could still feel the burning outline of her hand on his cheek, fresh, hot, real. The tears she cried afterward had been completely onorthodox, to add to the livid tingling on his left cheek. He soon found his fingers tracing lines down her back, rather than hovering over the self-detonate switch.

 

 

Catherine hated war so much. She complained about it as much as she possibly could during his stay. Not that he could blame her, though he didn't quite agree. Since the day he was born, fighting was what he did and always did. Life in the circus was his only escape, and he thought he was to exchange that for death, until she came along. The slap banished the thought, and then the tears killed it. He'd never had something so important to live for.

 

 

Which of the two of them was the savior that night, and which was the victim, he couldn't quite figure out. In an odd way, they'd saved each other, and his heart tugged quite a bit at the idea of having a hero for the first time.

 

 

His life was the precious stone he had to keep, for her sake.
