Onto the Desert Kingdom Part 1
Trowa rode his horse deep in thought. When Quatre had told him that it would take three weeks to get to the desert kingdoms. Trowa thought he meant three weeks to get to Quatre's palace. Trowa was wrong. It took three weeks to get the outer regains of the desert Kingdom. That was three weeks ago. Since then the group has been staying with sheiks and family members of the Sultan's court.
Personally Trowa wanted to be done with this journey. He couldn't remember the last time he had traveled so much. And the thought of having to return to the forest that he and Duo had been living in was not making him happy. The forest was farther away than the Kosh Kingdom. Trowa sighed mentally, he wanted to be with Quatre, but he feared the traveling was going to kill him.
Quatre looked over at Trowa and sighed. Sometimes not being able to read someone had its downfall. Quatre couldn't figure out if Trowa was mad at him or what. The other night had been too much. Quatre was beginning to wonder if Trowa really was the one for him.
~Flashback~
"Quatre, why didn't you tell me it was going to take so long?" Trowa collapsed in a chair.
Quatre looked over at his chosen and blinked. "What are you talking about?"
"This trip. You said it would take us three weeks to get to your home."
"This is my home."
"That not what I mean. I'm tired. I don't want to travel any more."
"It only a few more days to the royal city. Then we'll be done traveling." Trowa got up and headed for the door. "Where are you going?"
"To my room."
"But I thought...."
"Quatre, please. I wish to be alone. We aren't even bonded yet. I'll be in my room, asleep." Trowa walked out of the room closing the door softly.
~*~
Quatre had cried himself to sleep. He had made Trowa angry with him. And that morning Trowa hadn't said anything to him. It was now evening time and Quatre and been the only one talking. Quatre was having a hard time not crying. He didn't want Trowa to know he had hurt him. Beside, crying is a sign of weakness. He couldn't dare show that.
The group stopped to make camp. Rashid, and Abdul put up the tents. One for Wufei and Meiran, one for the newly bonded Heero and Duo, one for themselves, and one for Quatre and Trowa. The thought made Quatre groan. A night with Trowa angry with him. After eating dinner Quatre retired to the tent. He sat on the bedroll.
"Quatre?"
Quatre looked up at the entryway. Heero stood waiting to be welcomed. Quatre smile. "Hello Heero, come in."
Heero nodded and came the rest of the way in. "What's wrong, Quatre?"
"Nothing is wrong."
"Hn, don't lie. Something is bothering you."
"I... I..." Quatre shook his head. Trying to hold back tears.
Heero laid a hand on Quatre's shoulder. "Quatre, you are my friend, what is wrong?"
"Trowa's mad at me." Quatre whispered.
"Are you sure?"
Quatre shook his head. "Of course not. I can't sense him. But he seems angry. He's upset because I didn't tell him exactly how long it would take to get to father's palace. I didn't think about it."
~*~
Duo walked up to his friend slowly. Both he and Heero were worried about their friends. After dinner Quatre had gone in his tent and Trowa had gone off in the opposite direction. Duo spotted his friend crouched down under a tree.
"Trowa?" Duo sat down next to Trowa. "Trowa are you all right?"
Trowa looked at Duo not saying anything just looking at him. Finally he spoke. "I don't know. I... I don't know."
"Does it have something to do with Quatre? Because you know you two haven't said much to each other today. And at dinner he would look at you with this sad face when you weren't looking. And then you would look at him when he wasn't looking at you...."
"Duo?"
"Yeah?"
"I think I'm just tired of traveling. I didn't think it would take so long to get to Quatre's home. Last night I couldn't take it any longer. I asked him why he didn't tell me how long it would be."
"And what happened?"
"He said we would be at his father's palace in a few days. It's like it wasn't important. I went to sleep in another room."
"And?"
Trowa closed his eyes. "And I realized how much I need him." Trowa opened his eyes and looked to the sky. "Gods Duo, I want him so badly."
"Trowa, you have him. I don't understand."
"How am I supposed to travel to the magic lake? It's so far and I don't think I could travel that much."
Duo smiled sweetly. "Trowa, my brother, you do not need to worry. The lake is like the tree. It's magical. We will not have to journey far to get to it."
"I don't understand."
"Silly mortal human, it is not of things you should understand. It just is." Duo got up and headed back to camp. "But Trowa, don't let something like that distract you from your love."
Trowa sat there and thought some more. Something that was beginning to upset him. He had more questions than he did answers.
~*~
Duo entered his tent and was immediately wrapped in strong arms. Strong arms that belong to the person kissing him. Strong arms and hand that were rubbing his back. The person who kissed his neck in just the right places.
"Mmm, Heero..." Duo purred. "That... that feels nice."
"Hn." Heero nibbled at Duo's ear lope while undoing his shirt.
Duo in the mean time was busy stripping Heero of every bit of clothing. Yes, magic was a good thing. "How's Quatre?"
Heero stopped what he was doing. He stared at Duo who was half-naked. "He's upset. He thinks Trowa's mad at him. And now he's questioning whether or not Trowa really is the one to be his life mate."
"WHAT!!!" Duo fell on the bedroll. "I... I can't believe this."
"Hn, how's Trowa?" Heero started taking Duo's pants off.
"He... he is very tired from the traveling. Once we get him in on place, he can relax and rest and then he should be fine. I can't believe Quatre questions Trowa's love for him. I mean Trowa just told me that last night he realized how much he needed to be with Quatre."
"So Trowa's not really angry with Quatre, he's just tired and up until last night was confused." Heero sat on the bedroll next to Duo. He started kissing his neck and worked his way down to Duo's chest. Duo gasped as Heero started to nibble on his nipple.
"Gods... Heero...." Duo finished undressing Heero with his magic.
