February writing challenge TQ13
using table 4 from the 5sentence_fics community
Fandom: Gundam Wing, Pairing: Trowa/Quatre, Rating: PG, Warnings: angst, BL, word count: 168, see previous stories here, note: written for darthanne, because a one-sentence fic wouldn't do, and twenty-five five-sentence fics will tell the story. :)
Table 4, #21 - Chasing the Wind
Though Quatre’s personal physician couldn’t offer more than the continuation of the same sort of treatment he had been providing before Trowa confessed his true diagnosis, the prognosis was the same, the outcome confirmed. But, Quatre had a name, and with a name, hope was a faint breath filling his blood, urging him on; this would not become a song composed for him.
It was while Trowa slept, whether napping or when Quatre would rise in the night (or in the morning while Trowa continued to sleep), Quatre methodically learned all he could, all that was available, on the disease, its treatments - the standard practices as well as the more bizarre. Duo was right - the disease was so rare, not one agency was actively seeking a cure, a treatment to prolong lives affected.
His business dealings were turned over to others, or canceled outright, nothing mattered but what was before him; nothing mattered but the hope, his research, and giving Trowa the happiness he sought.
