DISCLAIMER: I decided to write a Heero x Catharine fic. I have seen maybe
one fic like this since I became a member to fanfiction. Not a popular
pairing but I felt like experimenting a little. All flames are welcome. I
hope I get at least a few reviews. I want to know if there is any hope for
this idea. Oh, and I don't own Gundam Wing.

It had been five years since the wars ended. After all that had happened, it seemed like only yesterday that Trowa had joined their circus. Her life seemed so simple then. She thought Trowa as nothing more that just a quiet boy. Until he brought that other boy back with him one day. A boy about his own age badly injured and close to death. It was then that she knew she was getting dragged into this war. And that everything was going to get a lot more complicated. She learned that they were the notorious Gundam pilots. But that was not what was so striking. It was that boy.
Heero Yuy, that was what he called himself. So dark and mysterious. His eyes. She once thought him to be cold and heartless. But something in his eyes she saw told her otherwise. She saw compassion in his eyes. If only for one fleeting moment. It struck her odd, that anyone could hide from their feelings like that. She wanted to help him. But Trowa told her not too.
And so two years after the war, they were given a surprise. Heero showed up at their door. He came on regular visits to Trowa and the circus. After he became acquainted with them well enough, he even helped out with what ever needed to be done. Be it manual labor, or feeding the monkeys. He was always there to lend a hand. So the boss decided to offer him a job at the circus. Another surprise. He accepted.
Everyone assumed this was because Trowa and Heero were so alike. Silent, deadly, and emotionless. They got along together so well because they had so much in common. Both were left without families at a very young age. Both had nothing left for them in the world but what they were ordered to do. Living without a reason to live. Trowa told her it was also because Heero was lost, in a sense. And had nowhere to go. Nowhere to call home.
That had been the others opinions. But she had always wondered what his reasons were. What his reasons really were. Everyone described him as the perfect soldier. Cold and emotionless. But the emotion she saw in his eyes from time to time, when he thought no one saw, told her otherwise. So many emotions in a single look. Anger, hatred, guilt, remorse, regret, pain, compassion.
She had seen compassion in his eyes only once. When they first met. When he came out of his comma. How she wished that his eyes would stay that way. Again, she wanted to help him. But Trowa, the mind reader that he is, warned her not too. He told her that Heero couldn't show his emotions. He didn't know how too. Something else she didn't believe.
Oddly enough, she also seemed to be the only person who thought Heero and Releena didn't belong together. They were opposite side of a coin. And the way he was constantly avoiding her. Didn't that say something? Everyone else said that he was too dense to see that they were perfect for each other. Somehow, after the emotion she saw in his eyes when she looked at him, she doubted that.
She on the other hand, couldn't believe it. Trowa was going to kill her. She, Catherine Bloom, was falling for Heero Yuy.
