Trowa/Quatre

Trowa/Quatre is a popular Gundam Wing slash ship.
==Canon==
In canon, Trowa and Quatre are comrades and friends. As members of the group of Gundam Pilots sent to Earth on behalf of the colonies, they frequently work together. They first meet in Episode 3, when they mistake each other for enemies and briefly fight. After the misunderstanding is cleared, they become friends and celebrate their new connection by playing music together. Later in the series, Quatre becomes mentally unstable due to a combination of his father's recent death and an experimental technology in his mobile suit; he threatens to destroy a colony and only comes back to his senses after Trowa blocks his attacks with his own mobile suit. Quatre believes he's killed Trowa for several episodes. When Trowa finally reappears, he has amnesia, and fellow pilot Duo is unable to persuade him to rejoin the fight. Instead, it takes Quatre seeking him out and apologizing to convince him to help the other pilots.
