"Brave One" Gundam Wing (Trowa/Quatre)
Title: Brave One Author: nanthimus Rating: So very G. Warnings: SHMOOP? Word Count: 295 Summary: Trowa envies Quatre's bravery. Prompt: Gundam Wing, Trowa/Quatre: first kiss, first touch – “I felt him blush.”
“There’s nothing shameful about crying,” I said, sitting down beside him.
“I wasn’t crying,” Quatre said, scrubbing his face. After a moment, a small, wry smile spread across his lips. “I suppose I shouldn’t even try to hide it.”
“It wouldn’t help, no.” I was happy to see that smile. While there really wasn’t any shame in crying, Quatre did not wear tears well.
He sighed and look down at his lap. “I…sometimes I think that I’m not really qualified for all of this. You guys are all so much…I don’t know. Better than me.”
It took a few moments before I found my voice. “What?” I resisted the urge to take his hands but couldn‘t stop myself from leaning in closer. “Sometimes I wish I was as brave as you.”
He looked up at me, eyes wide. “Really?”
There were so many things that I wanted to say, things I felt could have comforted him. But I’d never been an eloquent person so I stayed silent, only nodding in answer. He looked down, seeming to deliberate for a moment, before looking back up, determination in his eyes.
I wasn’t sure what he was doing, pulling me down, until I felt his lips, soft and warm, against mine. And before I knew it, I was cradling his face in my hands, feeling the warm rush of a blush on his cheeks. He whimpered and I pulled away. I wanted to tell him that he just proved that he was the brave one, that I’d been trying to figure out how to find the strength to do what he just did. But again, words failed me. So instead, I tugged him closer, so that he rested against my chest, and together we sat in comfortable silence.
NOTES: Even though I've been a GW fan for over seven years, I've never written Trowa or Quatre. Uhm, I hope they came out okay! I really wanted to add some porn but, well. It just didn't happen (this time!).
