Life's Pain

Chapter One:

The silent Wing pilot hopped out of his mobile suit Gundam named Wing with ease as he landed like a cat on two feet instead of four and in a crouch. He looked up and glared slightly to see violet eyes staring at him intently.

He had just gotten back from a mission and luckily, the blue jean coat hid the make shift bandages covering his torso. It had been worse than he expected and who would have known it was an ambush? "What do you want?" The teenager asked the other teenager whom nicknamed himself 'Shinigami' with an icy tone no other human or person could match.

"Nuthin'" He grinned cheerily. "Just wanted to make sure that you were alright." A tinge of concern was easily seen in his eyes as Heero brushed it off with a shrug.

"I'm fine." He muttered as he got up, feeling his muscles slightly cramp and contract from excerption. 'Figures.' He growled mentally as he berated himself.

"Really?" Duo questioned his comrade and the teenager he secretly loved. "Bull." He said, noticing the way the pilot slightly swayed.

"Duo." Heero growled warningly as if he was trekking on thin ice.

"No way," Duo said, taking a step towards the pilot. "Let me help you." His violet eyes almost pleaded this.

Heero's hands quivered as his body began to shake uncontrollably in very small motions unnoticed to the untrained eye.

"What the hell happened?!" Duo said as he walked up in swift strides to the darker brunet pilot.

"Nothing...just—" Heero took a sharp intake of breath when he felt Duo tug on his jacket. "Let go!" Heero raised his voice louder as he turned his pain into anger.

"No." Duo said sternly, his eyes as icy as Heero's. Heero's chest was lifted in heaves as he looked closer and could now see his limps shaking as his head lowered drowsily.

"Duo..." Heero was about to protest when his body seemed to just shut down.

"Heero!" Duo caught the stoic and restless pilot in his arms as he pitched forward, breaths coming raggedly and shallow at the same time. His forehead glistened with sweat, as he seemed to fight control over staying conscious.

His cobalt eyes were half-open and slowly they slid down more as he let his body shut down. Duo ripped off his shirt but the pain seemed to numb him now of everything but the pain itself.

"Heero!" Duo shouted as he tried shaking the pilot, some crimson building up on his callused arms from the open lacerations further aggravated. "You have to stay awake!" 'If he falls asleep, that'll be even worse!' His mind sped up as if on stimulants, trying to think of something to help the one he became infatuated with.

"What the hell happened man?!" Duo tried to question the pilot to keep him awake. "This mission of yours was to check up on your foster family 'cause J wanted you to stay with them while you completed a couple months undercover? How could that go wrong?"

"J...gave...custody..." Heero managed out between the growing darkness that was beckoning to him. He smiled slightly when the darkness seemed to give him such a warm embrace. It smiled at him back and seemed to motion for him to follow.

"Heero, stay awake!"

"G-go...m...en..." Heero whispered as he stopped moving and his eye's dropped and closed as his head fell towards the side a bit.

"HEERO!" Duo screamed as he shook the pilot by his shoulders with a frantic look in his eye.

"Duo," Quatre questioned, appearing with an annoyed Trowa at his side, with worry at his braided friend. "What's wrong?"

"It's Heero Q!" Duo shouted, trying to lift the pilot and shocked at how light the teenager was. 'Damn that training! Though at least he's not suffering from malnutrition...' he sighed mentally. 'Hopefully. He may be thoguh...'

"Oh my god!" Quatre shouted, rushing over with a now slightly worried Trowa to help lift the young boy and not jar his wounds any further. "Let's get him to the treatment facility right now!" He said with worry as he rushed off to the area where Sally was currently located.

As they rushed through the hallway, the limp form of Heero stirred slightly as the door slammed open and a shocked Sally looked at his sudden intrusion. Wufei was sitting in a corner and looked up from a document he was currently reading over.

"Duo?" Sally said with surprise. Wufei rolled his eyes in agrivation and looked back at his document, not even bothering to look at the bundle in Duo's arm.

"Heero needs medical attention, now!" Quatre said through gasps as he finally cuahgt up with Duo who was taking large strides into the room. Wufei's head jerked up from the folder and looked with narrowed eyes at the form of the Wing pilot.

"What happened?" Wufei questioned and raised an eyebrow at Trowa in the doorway with some concern in his eyes also. No one responded and Wufei turned to look at Duo with a raised eyebrow.

"Lay him here," Sally commanded as she gestured to a cot in her office and she got out some supplies she would need.

"'Kay..." Duo gently laid the teenager who turned his head a bit onto the white clothed bed. He let out a almost silent groan as Duo's finger's seemed to gently tear off the shirt.

"Duo," Sally said with warning as she turned to look at him with all her supplies in hand. "I'll need to do a medical examination."

Duo opened his mouth but the sound of a cell phone filled the air. Everyone fumbled in their pockets and pulled theirs out, only to discover it was no ones in the room. Duo looked at Heero and reached into his jean coat's pocket to pull out a black device that was chirruping away to a buzzing sound.

Duo flipped the phone open and the digital readout showed a letter, 'J'. Duo growled slightly as he opened a connection, hoping to figure out what was going on.

"Heero?" J's voice said over the slightly crackled connection.

Duo didn't say anything, but took a deep breath, trying to sound like Heero's voice. "Yes?"

"02?" J questioned. "Well," The old man cackled. "What a lovely surprise. So, has G sent you your mission yet?" He pried.

Duo growled slightly, how would J know if he had a mission or not. 'Oh, yeah. He's one of the doctors...' In truth, J was much different from the slightly kinder doctors. The only ones he seemed to favor were Heero, whose ass he worked off, and Relena, whom he dubbed as no comment in his mind.

Heero's cobalt eyes flashed open and he looked at Duo, who held his cell phone and lunged for it. The one thing his mind registered was 'Shimita!' and 'Crap, they know Japanese, or a little bit...'

"Was?" He questioned in perfect German, which none of them knew, into the cell phone. A German response came back.

"Heero, wie gehts?" J questioned simply.

"Gut." He said sharply. J questioned further. Heero's eyes narrowed slightly at this comment he made and then he responded back in a more defeated tone, "Ja."

"Gut." J told him as Heero disconnected the link.

"What was that all about?!" Duo said with a fiery rage at the injured friend of his.

"Nothing." Heero said sharply. He realized where he was and glared coldly at Duo he swung his feet over the bed and Duo lunged for him to try and strap him to the bed. He seriously needed medical attention.

"Heero! You HAVE to let Sally treat you!" Duo barked at him as Heero dodged him.

"Nein." Heero snorted. "I have a mission to get to." He easily dodged Duo and was about to walk out of the room when Trowa stopped him, but looked at Heero and knew he wasn't in a good mood today.
