February writing challenge (no day, since this is starting late)
using table 4 from the 5sentence_fics community
Fandom: Gundam Wing, Pairing: Trowa/Quatre, Rating: PG-13, Warnings: angst, BL, word count: 202 note: written for darthanne, because a one-sentence fic wouldn't do, and twenty-five five-sentence fics will tell the story. :)
Table 4, #15 - Personal Space
The spring of 197 held some of his fondest memories, but not the best by far - just months after the war restoration project began, his friends parting company, and picking up their lives - or starting new ones. Those first days after the war were chaos itself, and the furor created by causing Mariemaia’s army to back down and surrender was unexpectedly turning into a witch-hunt; the new government needed his skills as a mediator, an executive, and a strategist.
As life would have it, the one he wanted to come to know more about, the one he longed to know, he had lost touch with having always assumed Trowa had returned to the circus, returned to Cathy, his real (or imagined) sister. But, after weeks of no contact, he took time out for a visit and was met with an almost violent non-welcome; it was the new animal handler who told him that Trowa had left, walked out after a performance and no one had heard from him since.
Once upon a time, Quatre believed a connection existed between them, and that one day Trowa would come walking back into his life, just as he had waltzed out of it.
