Leo Title: Leo Character : Trowa Challenge: Job Perks Team: Oz Rating: PG Word Count: 100 Author's Note: I had this drabble in my head (Trowa petting the constellation Leo actually) and had to get some form of it out. No idea where it would be in the Gundam Wing timeline, but I figure that 'leaving' the circus can mean a mental departure as well as physical.
Trowa looked over his shoulder before he snuck over to the lion’s cage.
“Hello friend, how are you today?”
The lion nuzzled against the bars and purred.
Trowa smiled and pet the lion’s mane. His fingers smoothed the rough hair, finding the softer bits of fur beneath the chin. “We’ll both get out of here soon. Performing is just a job, you know. One day we’ll make a difference.”
When the lion was killed for breaking free, Trowa left the circus forever.
His only perk, his friend - was gone.
It was time to carve the lion’s memory into the stars.
