Duo smiled blissfully at the sleeping figure next to him. He was perfect in every way. And he was his. He still remembered the day it had happened...

*****************************************************************************************************************

The sky was overcast and thundery. Rain pelted down in torrential sheets and Duo was running late for class.

As he rounded a corner, dripping wet and sniffling, a couple of arrogant jocks crashed straight into him, scurrying after their precious piece of pigskin, sending Duo's books sprawling to the floor. Not having the energy to retort, Duo dropped to his knees and started gathering up his books.

"Imbeciles, aren't they." An unknown voice stated. Startled, Duo raised his gaze to the body that dropped beside him and reached around for loose papers. "Here." He nudged the papers over.

"Th...thanks." Duo stuttered, completely spellbound.

"Wufei." He stood up and offered Duo his hand.

"What?"

"Wufei. That's my name."

"Oh. Oh, right! I'm Duo."

"I know. Are you going to take my hand or stay down there all day?" Wufei said pointedly.

"Oh. Thank you? How did you know my name?"

"It says it right there on your paper." Wufei tapped the top of a twenty page English essay.

"Oh." Duo blushed, embarrassed at his complete inaudibility to string together a sentence.

"You look cold." Wufei slipped his worn leather jacket off his shoulders and placed it on Duo's. "Do you want to go get a coffee or something?"

"I really should get to class."

"You've already missed fifteen minutes. And you can't sit there dripping wet, you'll get pneumonia."

Duo didn't know what did it. Whether it was the way his hair fell across his eyes, the way his voice betrayed no sense of emotion yet let him know so much about him at the same time, the way his brooding eyes held some boy-like quality or the way his jacket felt so perfect? He was taken in. Duo followed him that day to get coffee and now, here they were?

Duo placed a delicate kiss on Wufei's alabaster forehead. Smiling, he turned over and wrapped his strong arms around him.

"You're awake." Duo laughed.

"And now I have to go. Mr Yuy's roof is leaking; I thought I'd fix it for him."

"Aw, do you have to? Can't you stay here just a little longer?" Duo put on a puppy face.

"I won't be long." Wufei laughed, slipped a white shirt over his black hair and gave Duo a kiss on the cheek. "I love you."

"Really? I was beginning to think you loved old Mr Yuy more than me!" Duo yelled as Wufei walked out the door.

Sitting in front of his antique mirror, Duo brushed his flowing tresses. Humming quietly to himself he thought about how much his world had grown lately. Secretly, he owed it all to Wufei. He would never tell him, but he had come along at a crucial time in his life. One more week and it would have been too late.

Duo was startled out of his reverie by a muffled thump. Puzzled, he peered out the window into Mr Yuy's backyard. A cry escaped him; he flung open the door and jumped over the hedge. Wufei lay immobile on the ground; a jagged metal cross from Mr Yuy's roof impaled his chest.

"Wufei!" Duo fell to his knees, lifting Wufei's head onto his lap. "Wufei! You'll be alright!" Struggling to form words, Wufei squeezed Duo's trembling hand. Slowly, his eyes fluttered closed.
