Heero
What is that sound? I had woken up late in the night to the sound of someone crying, sobbing uncontrollably. Who is it? I think as I scan the room for intruders. It could only be Duo, he's the only other person here. Glancing at Duo, afraid that he would he angry that I find him at such a moment as this, I am surprised he is sound asleep. Then who is making those sounds? It's me.
Duo
::Running in terror after Heero I yelled "No Heero! Don't do it!" He looked back at me in that cold lifeless gaze. "Please Heero. Don't!" I pleaded just as he jumped off.:: "Noo!" I screamed. I sat up eyes wide with fear. The nightmare was quickly vanquished as I gawked. Heero, he's crying? Disbelief showed through, as I sat there with my mouth wide open. He didn't see me yet, since his back is too me. I guess he didn't hear me as well. What should I do? My frantic mind told me the smart thing was to go back to sleep and ignore the whole thing. But my racing heart told me Heero needed someone to comfort him, and I was the only one here to do it.
Heero
Why am I crying so hard? What happened? "Heero?" Damn. Du o woke up. "Go back to sleep Duo. We have a mission tomorrow." Cursing myself off for being so unaware, I didn't notice when Duo came over to sit on my bed either. "Heero if there's some thing you want to tell me you can." :: "Duo, there's something I need to tell you, before we all die." I said into the intercom. "Yeah, what message do you want to be relayed to the God of Death? He's not in right now so please leave a message at the sound of the beep." When no beep came Heero glanced at his monitor searching for Duo in his cockpit. "Duo! Duo this isn't funny." "Is that all you wanted to say Heero? Then come on we still have some mobile suits to kick ass." "Duo be careful your Gundam can't take much more damage." Duo turned to attack another mobile suit. "Yeah sure Heero. If that's all ya wanted to tell me then come on I already know that!" No I wanted to say I love you.::
Duo
Heero had stiffened and sat still. No longer were the sobs seeping from his throat, but the teas still rose unbidden. "Heero, you can tell me. I would not think anything less of you, no matter what." Is that what you say when you are trying to comfort someone who is not meant to be comforted? "Heero? Heero are you even there?" The remains of my dream rushed back to me. Am I still dreaming? Reaching out I took hold of Heero's arm, bringing my other around into a tight hug. He's here, my mind told me.
Heero
So that's why I can't control myself right now. It's Duo. It's all his fault! And added nuisance to the mission, my mind said. Refocusing into reality I realized Duo had wrapped my into his arms. My first hug, a dull part of me noted. I pulled my arms up and collapsed into him, crying harder. This is what I want my heart has told me that in my dreams. To hold you, Duo, to care for you, to love you, it's all that I will ever want. You're giving into your feelings my mind screamed at me. Soon my inability to accept him, yet to do without Duo was also a concept beyond words, confused me so much that all I could do was cry. I can't love anyone. Not now. Not ever.
Duo
Her returned my hug and is crying to me. I still don't know what he is crying about bit it doesn't matter. It's just good to be sitting here like this, with him in my arms. Who knows if I will ever get the chance to do it again. His tears are subsiding, and he pulls away. "Feeling better Heero?" I look at his face. "Aa." He replied. His face looked so different. Vulnerable and afraid. Why is Heero afraid? Oh Heero, I thought you to be fearless. "Well, like you said. We gotta rest up for tomorrow."
Heero
He went back to his bed. Is it my imagination or did he linger just a little bit? It was only concern nothing more. Turning back to sleep I lay still. I couldn't sleep. Too many thoughts were racing around. It wouldn't affect my abilities tomorrow, not the lack of sleep. That wasn't want I was scared of. With the amount he chatters he really is caring, I figured as my thoughts turned to another subject. Even though I was silent there was still noise coming from across the room. Duo obviously can't sleep.
Duo
"Duo?" Heero asked.
"Yeah?" I answered.
"Go to sleep."
"Okay" Is that all he had to say? I'm only disturbing his sleep? And to think that I was trying to comfort him. I lay still trying not to move, or risk annoying Heero further.
"Duo I didn't mean for you to lay still. I was only telling you that you should get some rest." Was it me or did Heero just try to reassure me? Passing it off I thought about the feeling of holding Heero in my arms. He was so warm, softer than I would have thought I was already longing for him back in my arms. What was that look in his eyes? Fear? The look was too obvious to be my imagination. What is he afraid of? Or who?
Well how did ya like it? ::Runs and hides around the corner:: Don't hurt me if you didn't like it!
