For crystal lily's prompt of it being too early, with Quatre/Trowa and Wufei. (And there's a small Avengers nod in there too..)
Drabble 73
"It's way too early to be awake right now."
"Shh. Quit complaining." Wufei tugged his hat down a little more and grinned at his grumpy friend.
"Quit complaining? You showed up at my house, dragged me out of bed and made me climb this mountain with you- in the dark-"
"We drove up the mountain, Quatre. We only walked maybe 100 yards or so away from where we parked."
"It felt like more than that." Quatre hunched his shoulders up and growled. "And I didn't even get any coffee- or an explanation."
"We're here for the sunrise."
"You couldn't just record it for me to watch later?"
"Now where would be the fun in that?"
"You really want me to answer that?"
Wufei laughed, lifting up his flashlight to check his watch. "It's almost time."
"Time for what? To freeze to death?"
"I promise afterward that you can have all the coffee you want."
"Coffee won't do me much good if I'm dead."
"You won't be dead. In fact I'll bet you ten dollars that once the sun rises, you won't even need the coffee."
"Yes I will. Trowa's flight comes in tonight and after waking up this early I'll need it if I want to meet him at the shuttle port."
"I'm sure he could take a cab."
"I haven't seen him for two months and you want me to leave him to the mercy of our city's cab drivers?"
"You're right. That does sound too harsh."
"So, when is this sunrise that it was so important that I see?"
Wufei checked his watch again. "Ah, let me go check the map in my car. Maybe we're in the wrong place. I'll be right back." He vanished into the darkness before Quatre could stop him.
"Seriously...? If I die up here of hypothermia because you took us to the wrong place I am going to haunt you for the rest of your short life, Chang Wufei!"
"It's not that cold!" Wufei called back.
Minutes passed and Wufei didn't reappear. Quatre huddled deeper into his coat. This was turning into a hell of a day and it hadn't even started yet. At least the sky was beginning to lighten- and there was a pretty nice view...
"Quatre?"
That voice wasn't Wufei's. Quatre whirled around.
"Trowa? What are you doing here?"
"I came to see you." Trowa's grin was visible in the growing light. "Well, actually, I asked Wufei to bring you here."
Quatre accepted Trowa's hug, reveling in his lover's presence- and warmth. "Why?"
"Can't you guess? Romantic location? The beginning of a day?" Trowa fished a box out of his pocket and Quatre laughed in sheer joy.
"You didn't get down on one knee," he teased and Trowa laughed too.
"I will- but you'll have to let me go-"
"No. I'm freezing and you're warm."
"At least give me your hand." After Trowa slid the ring in place, he gently wrapped his warm hand around Quatre's cold one. "So, I'm taking this as you saying yes."
"You didn't think I'd say anything else?"
"Not really, but you tend to surprise me."
"I think the surprise was yours this time."
"As long as it's a pleasant surprise."
"Of course it was." Quatre reached up and claimed a kiss, Trowa's lips warm against his. "Home please?"
"Yes," Trowa led him back to the parking lot. Wufei's car was already gone and as Quatre settled into the front seat, he pulled out his cell phone.
"What are you doing?"
"Canceling my meetings for today- and sending Wufei 10 dollars."
