Misunderstandings
Part 6
by Blue Violet
'Oh shit, what am I going to do now?' thought Quatre frantically as he
paced back and forth in his room long enough to practically burn a path
in his room.
Quatre was back in his room after a what seemed like a long dinner where
he had to listen to his friends yak on and on while he, was in a state
of crisis. Quatre wondered if he really ought to go and meet Kevin.
He should be meeting Kevin all ready but he still stayed there, pacing
in his room as if to stall for more time.
'Should I tell Trowa about this?' he wondered. 'No, maybe I shouldn't tell
him. I don't him to get worried. I don't want him to get mixed-up in this
whole thing. Maybe I should just solve this problem by myself.'
'Maybe I shouldn't get so worried,' he thought some more. 'Maybe Kevin
was just trying to scare me. Maybe...' Quatre shook his head vigorously as if
to shake away all his thoughts.
"Maybe, maybe, maybe," he chanted aloud. "A million maybes won't be getting
me anywhere. Instead of just walking back and forth like some sort of
idiot, I should go and meet Kevin and find out what he really wants."
Before, his nerves could betray him, the blonde boy walked out of his
room towards the boys' dormitory, where Kevin's room was.
"I hope nothing terrible's gonna happen," Quatre whispered to himself as
he walked along the dark corridors. But no matter how many times he
assured himself, he still couldn't shake away the bad feeling that
was deep inside his heart.
'Quatre must be asleep all ready,' thought Trowa with a smile as he lay
on his bed. 'Wonder what he looks like when he's asleep while wearing
that long wig of his.' An image of a sleeping Quatre with long, blonde
hair entered his mind and he thought how pretty his blonde angel would
look - sort of like a sleeping beauty.
Trowa felt an ache in his heart. He felt kind of lonely sleeping all
by himself. Usually, he would be sleeping together with Quatre but they
never had sex or anything. They would only have sex when they were both
ready for it. Or in this case, until Quatre was ready for it. Trowa
loved his angel more than anything, and he wouldn't force Quatre into
doing anything that Quatre wouldn't want to do.
Trowa sighed inwardly as he remembered again that he was alone that night
and on other nights as well until they had completed the mission which
reminded him that he had to get some information about OZ from the
school's principal with Quatre as soon as possible. And he had to somehow
find a way to get into the computer labs at night to get in touch with
Heero and the others who were going undercover at the OZ army base.
Just then, Trowa didn't want to think any more. He couldn't even
think all ready as sleep was starting to pull him towards the land of
dreams.
'I wonder how Quatre is right now,' the tall boy thought before he dozed
off to sleep.
After quite some time, finally Quatre reached Kevin's room. The whole
side of the boys' dorm looked eerie at night, with only a few lights
in the corridors illuminating the place. He knew he was supposed to meet
Kevin before lights-out but because he had spent so much time pacing around in
his room earlier, he was all ready late. And all the other rooms were
in total darkness. Even Kevin's.
The blonde boy wondered if Kevin was sleeping all ready. But he had a
feeling that Kevin was waiting for him in his darkened room. Slowly and
very cautiously, he knocked softly at the door. He waited for a while
but Kevin never came to open the door. Thinking that the other boy must
be sleeping all ready, he started to turn away.
Suddenly the door creaked open. "Katrina, you're here," said Kevin.
What he said sounded more like a statement. He smiled and Quatre
shivered a little, thinking how sinister Kevin looked smiling in the
dark.
"Come on in," said Kevin, gesturing at Quatre to go into his room. "We've
been waiting for you."
"We?" asked Quatre. He had a funny suspicion that whatever that's gonna
happen, he was not going to like it one bit.
"Yes. We," said Kevin, smiling his sinister-looking smile again.
As soon as Quatre stepped into the room, he understood what Kevin meant.
He wasn't alone. In fact, two of Kevin's closest followers were in the
room, too. Quatre recognized them the instant he saw them.
"Please. Do sit down," said Kevin politely. No, he said it in a too
polite tone as he gestured towards an empty chair. He sat down on the
edge of his bed while his two friends leaned against the wall.
Quatre looked around the room. It was dark - but not too dark because
there were a few candles alight in the room. He understood why they
didn't put the lights on. If they put the lights on during lights-out,
they will get caught by the warden and they will be punished really badly
especially because there was a girl in the room with a bunch of
boys when they were supposed to be sleeping.
"So, why did you want to see me?" asked Quatre in a clear voice even
though he was feeling all jittery inside.
"You know why right? Because we know your secret."
Quatre felt like punching that arrogant brat right in the face. Kevin was
grinning at him like the cat that had gotten the mouse. Or like the
Cheshire cat from 'Alice in Wonderland'.
"What secret?" asked Quatre as he made his eyes wide to look clueless
and innocent. "I don't have any secret."
"Come on, cut the crap!" said one of Kevin's friend with jet-black hair
impatiently. "You know what secret we're talking about!"
"Honestly, I don't know what you're talking about," said Quatre as he
stared at the boy hard. "I have nothing to hide from anyone."
Kevin strode towards Quatre with an unreadable expression. Quatre felt
his palms becoming sweaty as Kevin came nearer and nearer with every step. Soon
he was standing right before Quatre.
"We know your secret Katrina," whispered Kevin as he leaned
close towards Quatre's ear. His breath tickled the blonde's ear and he
felt like running away that instant. "We know that you're not a girl."
Quatre's cerulean eyes grew wide. He quickly stopped himself before he
could gasp aloud. "What are you saying?" he said in a controlled voice.
"Of course I'm a girl! I wouldn't be wearing a dress and have long hair
if I wasn't!!"
"But I know that you aren't."
That was it. Quatre knew then that he had to get away from there. And
fast. He jumped out of his chair to make a wild dash for the door but
Kevin was quicker. He had all ready grabbed the blonde's waist.
"Let go of me!" hissed Quatre as he tried to wriggle away from Kevin's
vice-like grip.
"It's no use trying to run away," whispered Kevin in his ear as he laughed
evilly. "You're trapped in my arms."
Suddenly Quatre gasped as Kevin grabbed at his crotch through the skirt
he wore painfully and roughly. "See, this proves that you really are a
guy - and not a girl."
"Please! Let me go!" pleaded Quatre pitifully, realizing that he could
never run away from Kevin's grip. And even if he did, there still were
two of Kevin's goons there to catch him.
"I don't know why you're pretending to be a girl here," said Kevin in
a low voice. "But I bet it has something to do with that Trowa Barton
guy. I bet you know him from somewhere and decided to transfer here on
the same day as he. I'm gueesing that you are in love with him and I
think you're a sick person who's trying to get him to fall in love with
you by pretending to be a girl."
Quatre didn't say anything. He didn't even know what to answer.
"I bet what I'm saying is true, right?"
Quatre wanted to say that he was pretending to be a girl because he was
a Gundam pilot and he was on a mission but he couldn't exactly say that,
could he? Instead he said, "You're just making assumptions. You don't
even know the truth!"
"Then what, my dear, is the truth?"
Quatre didn't answer him.
"Don't worry. I can keep your secret," said Kevin. "But. You have to do
something for me in return."
"What if I don't want to agree to your terms?" challenged Quatre. "Even
if you did tell everyone the truth about me, nobody will ever believe
you! Even my files say that I'm a female."
"Maybe so but let me tell you something. The principal is my uncle and
I happen to be his favourite nephew," said Kevin slyly. "I can tell him
everything if you want. He can kick you out of this school - then you
won't be able to see your beloved Trowa anymore."
Quatre felt the blood draining away from his face as Kevin's words
registered in his mind. The principal was Kevin's uncle. The principal
had connections with OZ - in fact he could be a part of OZ. No matter
what, the principal must never know about his true identity. The
blonde felt defeated. Looks like he had to do whatever Kevin wanted
in order for his identity as a Gundam pilot to be safe. So that the
mission would go smoothly as planned.
"OK then," said Quatre at last. "I'll do whatever you want me to do to
keep my secret safe."
"Good. That's what I wanted to hear."
Quatre shut his eyes tight as he wondered what kind of deeds Kevin was
going to make him do...
