Asked by jilltanith: "Quinn" and Trowa's reunion with Duo and Heero?

Hungry Heart Valentine Drabble

Quatre gave me a look over the edge of his sunglasses when he joined me by the luggage carousel. "The plane landed. They should be disembarking at any moment."

"Nervous are you?" I teased and he laughed.

"Not unless they get off that plane with a bunch of my sisters in tow."

"Hardly. Your sisters still think you're out wandering the Gobi or something."

"Well, the sand part is right." Quatre laughed again and brushed at a cluster of granules stuck to his wrist. "I'm still itchy. I told you we should've gone inside first."

"It's not my fault. You're the one that insisted on a quick swim this morning."

"You're the one that hid my swimsuit."

"There they are," I said, neatly distracting him. Duo had caught sight of me and was waving madly from his place on the escalator. Heero was focused on Quatre. He leaned over and said something to Duo, who smiled back. A moment later, they were beside us.

"So this must be Quinn!" Duo said, hugging Quatre. "I feel like I've known you forever!"

"The feeling is mutual," Quatre told him and they both laughed. Heero shook his head and reached past his lover to hug mine.

"It's good to see you again." He said quietly.

"Ditto," Quatre told him. Heero looked at me.

"You're looking much better," he smiled. "All this sand and sun must be good for you." I accepted his hug and turned to Duo, who was also examining me closely.

"Much better," he agreed and hugged me too. "We were worried about you for a long time." He added in a softer tone. Then he turned to Quatre. "Nice hair, man."

"I finally understand why you have yours in a braid all the time." Quatre tugged at his ponytail and rolled his eyes. "It gets all over the place."

"You could cut it." Heero said and Quatre looked at me.

"Trowa won't let me."

Duo laughed. "Heero wouldn't let me cut mine either."

"Not in a million years." Heero agreed and tugged on Duo's braid. "Besides, it might give the whole game away. Who is going to expect to find Quatre Winner looking like a beach bum?"

"Hey!" Quatre protested. "That's surfing dude, not beach bum, thank you very much."

"There's a difference?"

"There's a difference." Quatre confirmed. "Speaking of which, did you bring your boards?"

"Of course," Duo dropped his carry on by my feet. "Help me get the luggage." He grabbed Quatre's elbow and tugged him towards the luggage carousel. Heero looked at me.

"You really do look a lot better." He smiled. "Things going well?"

"Very well," I told him. "It was sheer luck I found him, but I am not letting him go again."

Heero chuckled. "I know that feeling."
