I wearily laid my head down on my desk. It had been two years since the war had ended and the pilots had split up. Duo and Heero had left together and they lived in a cottage out in the country. Duo still called him every so often and told him what was going on between the two of them. Everyone had thought that Trowa and I would have left together but as much to my surprise as everyone else's, Trowa had gone back to the circus to live with his sister Catherine. I haven't spoken with him since. Wufei had left without telling anyone where he was going and I still had no idea where he is.
I picked up the picture lying on my desk and stared at it for quiet some time. It was of the other four pilots and I. Trowa's arms were draped around my shoulders and Duo was sitting in Heero's lap. Wufei was over to the side scowling at them. The corners of my mouth lifted into a slight smile as I remembered the day the picture was taken.
I was snapped out of my thoughts as I heard the phone ringing. I stood up and turned on the vid-screen.
"Moshi-moshi."
"Hi Q-chan." Duo's voice drifted up to meet my ears.
Sensing the sadness in my friend's voice I looked up worriedly at him. "What's wrong Duo-kun?" I asked as I studied my friend's face. His eyes had bags under them and the light in Duo's eyes was no longer there and I had a felling that it wasn't coming back real soon. Not to mention that Duo's hair looked as if it hadn't been brushed in a week.
A tear fell down Duo's cheek. "Heero...Heero killed himself last night." A dam opened up and tears poured down his face.
My hand flew up to my face as I gasped. "Oh Duo, that's terrible." I paused for a moment. "Do you know why he did it?" I asked the concern for my friend coming out in my voice.
"No, I thought that he had loved me enough that he wouldn't try to pull this again."
"Duo, I know that deep down Heero really loved you, you could see it in his eyes every time he looked at you. He just wasn't always sure how to express his feelings." Duo looked up and gave me a sad smile that didn't quiet reach his eyes.
"When is the funeral?" I asked as I nervously played with the hem of my vest, thinking about seeing Trowa again. I scolded myself for thinking about Trowa when his friend needed him.
"Next Wednesday. You will come, right?" Duo asked.
"Of course I will," I assured him. "A...are the others coming?" I asked looking down at my lap.
"Yes, Trowa is coming if that's what you're asking." Duo gave me a sly smile. I could feel the blush creeping up my neck.
"I...Did Trowa say anything about me?" I asked in a rush, not meeting Duo's gaze.
"He only asked if you were coming."
"Oh, okay," I said, embarrassed.
"I have to go make arrangements for the funeral, I'll see you in a few days, okay?" Duo said.
"Okay, good-bye Duo-kun." Duo flashed me another smile trying to convince me that he was all right but I knew that it was just his mask.
~*Trowa*~
I flipped the switch on the vid-screen and watch my friend Duo's face disappear. What am I going to do? I asked myself as I stood up and walked over to my bed in the trailer. If I don't tell Quatre, Hilde will. I shook my head and smile. She is so much like Duo. At the thought of my friend my smile faded as I remembered the look in his eyes.
I walked out of the trailer in search of Hilde. She had been living with Catherine and I ever since she had seen us on L3. When we first met we didn't hit it off so well, but after spending a week with her we became good friends. The relationship blossomed from there and now we are thinking of marriage.
As soon as I found her I ran over to her calling her name. She glanced up from her drink and smiled at me.
"Hi Trowa," She said as she slid over on the seat so that I could sit next to her.
"Guess who just called."
"Who?" She asked flashing me her playful smile.
"Duo."
"Really?! What for?" She asked, her eyes widened in surprise. I sat down and told her exactly what Duo had told me. When I was done her eyes were shining with tears.
"Is he okay?" Hilde asked looking up at me.
"By the looks of it no," I said sadly. "His funeral is next Wednesday, if you would like to come with me."
"Of course I want to come. Duo is like a brother to me," The tears in her eyes spilled over and I reached over and held her close to me.
~*Wufei*~
Some how that baka had found me. I don't how he did it, but he always had known me better than any of the other pilots. I didn't want to admit it but I was glad that Duo had called me. Even though I never really talked to the others, I missed being around them. I missed that baka most of all.
I slammed my fist into the door, being careful no to crack it again. I opened up the closet and took out a duffel bag. I went around the room filling it up with clothes and other essentials. I sighed and threw the bag over my shoulder and went out the front door. I had better leave now if I wanted to make it in time for the funeral since I have to walk the whole way. I didn't really mind the walking though. It could always clear my mind and relax me.
