The Tie That Bonds

Chapter 7

Catherine scooted closer to the vent in the guest room. Though Heero and Trowa were in their bedroom, she could hear them plainly; even over the loud crying of the baby. Trowa glared at his boyfriend, still not believing what he had just heard. All the while, he tried to stop the child from crying, the big blue eyes and little out stretched hands were intended for the boy that was neglecting her.

"I just don't want you to get worn out." Heero explained matter of factly.

"So you want me to quit?"

"Trowa, you can't expect yourself to be able to protect Amelia when you're ragged out. You're so tired that you didn't even stir this morning when the alarm sounded."

"So, why don't you quit then?" Heero stared at the Latin wondering what had happened. Any other time, he would have just said "okay" and called in his two weeks. Why was he being so stubborn and uncooperative?

"You know I make more than you. We wouldn't be able to survive on your wages." Realization dawned on Trowa.

"So, in other words, you want me to take care of this kid on my own just because you don't want to get attached."

"That's not true. I've been helping."

"Only when I'm at work. As soon as I get off, you push her back on me. If you really don't want me to get worn out, then help me."

"You're the one that said you can handle it."

"No, I said *we* could handle it."

"You're better at this any ways." Trowa narrowed his eyes at Heero.

"I'm only better because I've spent time with her. You're just afraid to get close to her. . .well, you're going to have to get use to her because I'm not quitting." With that, he pushed the bawling baby into Heero's arms and started to leave the room.

"Trowa." Sitting Amelia in the crib, he followed his lover. The child continued to cry as Heero ran to the front door and manage to close it before Trowa could fully open it. "I just don't know if I can handle taking care of this kid. I don't want to fuck her up like I am."

"Heero, you won't." Trowa turned around and leaned against the closed door. He stared deeply into the colbat eyes and tenderly placed his hand on the side of Heero's face. "I know you can do this. You just have to spend more time with her." Doubt was still evident in the blue eyes. "You know what her first word is?" Heero looked up in mild curiosity. "He-he. . .He-ero."

The Japanese boy snickered at the thought and lightly kissed Trowa's lips. The Latin closed his eyes and enjoyed the taste of his lover's touch. As the kiss deepen, Heero encircled the slim waist in one arm and pulled the lean body closer. Being so close to the muscular frame wasn't just calming him, but was also affecting his jeans. Noticing the growing bulge, Heero lightly rubbed himself against his partner; at the same time, his lips trailed down Trowa's neck. Trowa leisurely rubbed the short hair on the back of his boyfriend's neck.

"If you think sex is going to change my mind. . ." As the taller boy spoke, Heero began sucking on just the right spot. "You're going the right way."

At that moment, Heero pulled away, a suspicious look in his eyes. Once the seduction ended, Trowa realized what had caught the other's attention. . .the house was silent. Amelia was no longer crying. They glanced at each other quickly before heading back up stairs to their bedroom. Both were relieved to find Catherine slowly pacing back and forth with the sleeping child in her arms. She smiled at the pair as she headed for the door.

"Glad to see you stopped fighting." She smirked and looked from Heero to Trowa. "I think I'll take Amelia down stairs so that you can finish making up." With that, she winked at her brother and closed the door behind her.


Trowa lovingly kissed the bare flesh before resting his cheek against the muscular chest. Heero looked down at him, all the while running his fingers through the soft brown hair. Both boys were totally relaxed and satisfied.

"I'll talk to Robert on Monday about getting my hours cut." Trowa raised to look at his partner. "Maybe I can start getting off earlier so you would have some time to rest before going to work." The Latin tenderly kissed his lips and weakly smiled.

"You don't have to do that Heero."

"I haven't really been doing anything to help you lately."

"I'll just quit." Heero's eyes took on a look of disbelief. After arguing about it earlier, now he decides to agree. The Japanese boy playfully pushed his lover off of him, climbed on top of the thin body and pinned him to the bed.

"You couldn't have seen things my way without fighting?"

"I'm sorry. I've been really bitchy lately."

"Sorry? Is that suppose to make it better?"

"Would it make it better if I offer to suck your dick?" Trowa questioned and switched positions. Heero pretended to think about it as Trowa's lips began descending his naked body. He relaxed against the pillows as he watched his lover work. He had long gotten use to Trowa's usual routine of teasing the hell out of him before pleasing him. . .in fact, he had come to greatly enjoy it. This time, however, was different.

Heero closed his eyes and focused on the feeling of being inside Trowa's mouth. His breathing became heavy as he began thrusting into the pleasing oral cavity. Trowa moderated his pace to accommodate the new motion. Suddenly, the bliss ended. Heero opened his eyes in time to witness Trowa straddling him. He guided himself into the descending haven and it began rocking against him.

Heero allowed his hands to caress the lean body impaled on his manhood; all the while he thrust into his lover. Trowa leaned back and pushed himself even more harshly onto the rock hard sex inside him as soft moans slipped from his lips. Heero sat up; lightly kissing the tanned chest and neck.

Neither of the lovers noticed the small red dot of light peeking through the blinds of the bedroom window. They were too engrossed in their affairs to notice that the dot was slowly moving; heading toward it's target. In one swift movement, Heero was back on top, and pounding into Trowa's body as he had been before. The taller boy relaxed against the sheets as Heero's kisses continued to assault his neck. Slowly his green eyes opened and surprised filled him. His body numbed for a moment as he found himself staring at a bullet hole in the wall of their bed room. Judging where the bullet nestled, it was meant for Heero's head.

"Heero. . .Heero, stop." He whispered softly; the actions ceased a second later.

"What's wrong?" Heero studied his lover's face in concern. He followed Trowa's eyes to the wall. "Oh, shit." The two boys scrambled to their feet and pulled on their jeans. They ran downstairs, completely startling Catherine and stirring the baby awake.

"What's going on?" Catherine wondered as the guys heard a car rev to life. A instant later, the sound of gun shots and breaking glass drown out everything else. Trowa lunged at Catherine, knocking her to the carpet, and Heero grabbed the baby before dropping to the ground. After a few seconds, all that could be heard was Amelia's frighten cries from Heero's arms.


Heero stepped from the bathroom and stared at Trowa's back. The Latin and Amelia were laying on the bed of the motel room. The baby had yet to stop crying since the drive by shooting. Trowa had done everything he could, but the child wouldn't stop. Though he had been avoiding it, Heero walked over to the bed and picked her up. A few minutes later, the crying stopped. Neither of the boys said much to each other since they left the house; both were too deep in thought of trying to figure out what to do now.

It was no longer safe to stay in their home. Since they had no ideal who their enemy was, there was no point in attempting an headlong attack. . .or risking to lose Amelia. . .so they were stuck running. They gathered everything that the baby needed, Catherine, Sheba and fled. The circus was performing in a town that was an hour's drive from their home. They dropped Catherine off there and left Sheba in her care. It was going to be hard enough with a baby, let alone a dog too.

After the pit stop at the circus, they stopped at an all night ATM to empty out the saving and checking account. However, both accounts had been frozen. With no access to a computer right now, there was no way to unfreeze it. They had tried to catch up with Hilde and Duo before they left to return to Earth, but was a little too late.

"We can try Quatre." Trowa said softly as he stared at Heero's knee.

"No." The Japanese boy answered firmly.

"What choice do we have Heero? We don't have money for shuttle tickets until we unfreeze the accounts. . .but we can't do that without getting to a computer. They've probably figured that we're running now, so they might have all the shuttle ports secure any ways."

"Then we travel by the circus."

"And increase the risks? They're not due to leave this colony until the end of next month, and if it's discovered before then that we are there, it'll be putting everyone else in danger. Do you really want to risk that?"

"I'm not giving him a reason to hold anything against you."

"Heero, it'll be okay."

"No, it won't. You know what he's going to want in exchange for helping us." Trowa grew silent and Heero stared down at his lover. "I'm not putting you through that. There has to be another way. . .and we will find it. I am not asking that bastard for anything, and neither are you."
