Um, yes,  I got suckered into that thing too…^^;

I don’t know why I asked him…the mood was all wrong to be asking personal questions.  Romance was NOT in abundance…especially over a sink of dirty dishes.  I guess I just wanted to know if I had any chance, any chance at all of having those amazing green eyes look lovingly at me…of having Trowa Barton for my own. 

“Trowa…do you love someone?” I had asked abruptly, rinsing off a plate and handing it to him to dry.  He didn’t look surprised or shocked…but then, it took a lot to surprise a Gundam Pilot.  “Yes.”  No hesitation whatsoever. 

I had just finished rinsing a teacup and when he answered, it slipped through my fingers to the hard linoleum.  I felt my soul shatter along with the pieces of the cup. 

Trowa loved someone. 

We both knelt down to clean up the broken pieces, and bonked our foreheads together.  He chuckled and shook his head.  I felt my face tinge pink in embarrassment.  Without warning, Trowa leaned forward and kissed me.  I was too stupefied to respond.  He pulled away slightly and smiled his enigmatic half-grin.  “Baka,” he whispered, “Aishiteru.”
