Quatre looked up, startled, as Trowa ducked into their shared office and cast a quick look around. "What is it?"
"Are you right in the middle of something? Can you leave?"
Blinking, Quatre closed down the file he was working on and got up from his chair. "Why? Has something happened?"
Duo appeared in the doorway. "Are you guys coming or not? He's getting closer!"
Throughly mystified, Quatre joined them by the door. "Who's he? What's going on?"
"Wufei-" Trowa glanced down the hallway. "Is he still in Heero's office? Where did he go?"
"He must be," Duo shook his head. "Poor Heero- I didn't have time-" The sound of a door opening down the hallway caused Duo to vanish mid-sentence.
Trowa tugged Quatre's arm. "C'mon, let's go!"
"Quatre!" Wufei called and Trowa sighed.
"Too late!"
Quatre, still puzzled, patted Trowa's arm. "You go-"
Trowa didn't wait to be asked twice. Just as Wufei reached them, a large box in his arms, Trowa fled.
"Wufei," Quatre smiled as the other man put down the box. "What do you need?"
Wufei nudged the box with his foot. "I don't suppose you would want these? You do have all those sisters and all?"
Quatre bent down and opened the box, eyes widening at the contents. "That's a lot of tomatoes!"
"I know," Wufei scratched the back of his neck. "I bought a few plants- but they went crazy! There were so many tomatoes and I can't eat them all- but I don't want to waste them- so I've been bringing them in-"
Quatre nodded. "Plants still full at home?"
"Yes. I thought about cutting them down, but-"
"No, no. I have an idea-"

An hour later, Trowa finally reappeared, poking his head cautiously into their shared office. "Quatre?"
"It's safe." Quatre looked up from his computer and grinned. "And it will be safe from now on. You and Duo don't need to flee from Wufei and his tomatoes anymore."
Trowa sat down in his chair and snorted. "Laugh all you want, but this is your first day back- you haven't been here the last two weeks as he kept pawning those things off all over the building! I have two bags at home. There are only so many salads and BLTs I can eat, you know."
Quatre turned and faced him, still smiling. "Not to worry. I took Wufei down to the food bank. They were thrilled with all the tomatoes."
Trowa's expression cleared. "So he's going to keep donating to them?"
"Yes. They said they'd take everything he could give- and even if he overloads them, well- Rashid's son has a restaurant- I imagine he'd think of something to do with tomatoes."
"Maybe I should take down the two bags he gave me-"
"No." Quatre turned back to his computer. "Invite me over tonight, instead."
Trowa's eyes widened. "Oh?"
"Unless you have other plans?"
Trowa glanced at the door and then back at Quatre. Voice lowering, he said: "My plans always include you- and you know it. So, what are we doing tonight?"
Quatre's smile widened. "I'm going to show you how to make tomato sauce."
