"What do you see in him?"

Quatre gives the board member a stern look. He stands up, slowly, keeping his movements fluid and his eyes on the old man. He has been taught from a very young age to treat his elders with respect but there are times when such teachings should be ignored.

"I see beauty," Quatre says, his tone firm but there's kindness there too. "I see care, I see strength and intelligence, courage and vulnerability, humor, friendship and love." He looks down at the old man, ignoring the rest of the board but too aware that he has their rapt attention. "I'm lucky. He lets me see."

"But Mr. Winner," the man speaks nervously, "he's your bodyguard. We don't even know who this Trowa Barton is."

"And you never will," Quatre's voice is cold as ice. "But you will show him respect or you will get to see a side of me you don't know either."

The man pales and Quatre knows he has seen a little, a glimpse of what Quatre is capable off. The board member bows his head and doesn't speak again. And like that, the subject is closed. Trowa never needs to know.

I like this one a lot. The idea of Quatre seeing sides of Trowa no one else sees appeals to me almost as much as the idea of Quatre showing the board member his more dangerous side. This was very nicely done, Mis!

Thank you, Sharon. Quatre might be polite and nice but don't mess with the people he cares about. Very dangerous thing to do.

Very nice glimpse into Quatre and Trowa's relationship. I wouldn't want to see that side of him either.

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Lil! And yeah, that side is reserve fr people who piss Quatre off, not very nice people, right?

This is so very Quatre and their relationship. I do like the way you write these guys. I've missed it.

(PS, did you ever read the other chapters of the fic? *is curious as you've never said )

[snakewhissperer.livejournal.com]

yeah it is. Gladyou're writing again Mis, what do we have to do to encourage more of it?

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Cait! I'm seeing if I can get the time to write for the February Challenge at the herald, that's why I'm spamming so much ^^;;

[snakewhissperer.livejournal.com]

spam away, this is good! its been too long since we saw much of your stuff. *hugs*

its been too long since we saw you too. Missed you, pun intended.

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

*clings* Thanks, Cait. It's fun being writing so much again.

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Quatre is quite protective...

(Haven't had the chance yet. The other day I hunted for it was about to start reading and got a call to go cover an event ^^;; Busy days and since I'm trying to write for this February thing haven't have the time. But I will read and I will comment *huggles*)

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm happy that you enjoyed this. I love writing strong Quatre.

Go, Quatre~! I like how you wrote dangerous!Quatre here. Shows he could stand his own ground despite the age difference.

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

I like writing dangerous Quatre and though he hides that part of him when he lets it show it's quite scary.
