It's the Climb

Part 1

Heero Yuy glared at his computer screen. To the normal observer, it would appear that he was reading something important or other, but to those who knew him best, would see that he was thinking about something very intently . So much so that the figure of a tan, Chinese man walking through his door way didn't avert his attention to the computer screen in any way.

His attention was captured after the said person sat down and began snapping their fingers together.

"Hey!Hey! Earth to Yuy."

The glaring man, looked up, and upon seeing his visitor, loosened up a bit. Just a little, this was Yuy after all. To anyone, it would have looked like nothing changed, but to Wufei the small gesture held a lot of weight.

"Hmmm?" Heero blinked again, and shook his head. "Sorry Wufei, just preoccupied."

"How did your doctor's appointment go?" Heero tensed a bit before loosening again. Leave it to Wufei to get to the point. "He thinks I need a vacation."

Wufei blinked, before snorting, which turned into full on laughter. Heero narrowed his eyes, patently waiting for Wufei to come to his senses. After a couple of minutes, Wufei was reduced to just a few chuckles and shook his head. "I'd like to meet the doctor that had enough nerve to tell you that Yuy. What's his name again? Winner? That 's hilarious." Wufei shook his head and just smiled, before composing himself a bit. "Maybe he's right."

Heero looked non pulsed and Wufei shrugged. "When's the last time you had one, Heero?"

"I can't."

"Why not? Nows a good time if ever."

"But my work-"

"Is probably already done for the next few weeks to come." Wufei raised an eyebrow as Heero thought of another excuse.

"The clientel-" He tried again, only to be shot down.

"Will understand. It's not like I'm going anywhere."

"But the company-"

"Will still be standing when you return." Wufei eyed Heero suspiciously, and crossed his arms. "What's stopping you Yuy?"

Heero sank in to his chair a bit, and covered his eyes with his hands. What was stopping him? It was clear that the stress from work was taking it's toll on him, and it had been a long time since he had last vacationed somewhere.....but that's what he was avoiding.

He knew he should go back home for a bit. After running away from the country life and making it big in the city, Heero couldn't remember being happier. And it made him guilty. Every time he thought about his Uncle Odin's face when his aunt broke down to tears after announcing he was leaving, he felt a twinge of guilt and hurt.

He had turned his back on them, and never looked back. He didn't have to heart to pick up the phone, return his aunts letters, or send a return holiday card. His life would take a hectic whirl and he'd forget those little things, until the next letter, the next message, the next card.

"Just think about it." Wufei got up and walked to the door, pausing before walking out. "I'm sure they'd be happy to see you Heero."

Heero looked up at Wufei's silent statement, surprised at just how much Wufei could read him and know just what he was thinking. Damn him. Damn him to hell, Heero thought a small smirk,that to anyone that didn't know him better wouldn't think anything of, on his face as he shut down his computer for the day and strolled down the hall after locking his door.. Of course, they were mistaken. To those who knew him, knew it was his way of smiling. He made his way to his car, nodding to the few people also leaving for the day, before making his way home.

xxXXxx

After closing the door behind him, Heero slipped off his shoes, hung his coat and made to undo his tie. Passing the phone, Heero pressed the answering machine button as he made his way to his room, listening to his messages. Most of them were just clintel, about one thing or another, and Heero shook his head. Why he ever gave his personal number out, he'd never know, but it was better than waiting until getting to office to deal with something he could have taken care of at home.

The sound of a chirpy voice, made him stop in his tracks. "Heero. It's me, Auntie. I know your busy, but if you have free time on your hands....well you know." The machine beeped, signaling the end of the messages and Heero sighed before, walking back into his living room and picking up the phone. If he called now, he could probably catch the next flight out.
