Alone-Part One
"But why do you have to go? Was it something I did?" Duo asked as he clung to Heero like a lifeline.
After the first night they gave each other their love, Heero had decided to go back to colony L-1.
"No Duo, you did nothing."
"Then why! Why are you leaving me! Last night you told me you loved me! Was everything last night just a huge lie!"
"No! I do love you! I just need to figure out if I can do this…"
"What? Be…normal?"
"Yeah…"
Duo stood back from his love and sighed. He then realized that he could not change Heero's mind in this matter.

"Fine…then go…"

"Find me when you are ready to…please…" Duo whispered before he began the trek back to his home. But this time, he would walk back alone…
