A/N: This is a crossover between Gundam Wing and Gravitation. Story centers
as always on my fave character Duo Maxwell…
Disclaimer: I don't own either Gundam Wing or Gravitation…sigh…damn!

LONELY
Duo ran into the apartment slamming the door behind him. He ran straight for his bedroom, throwing himself down on the bed. He burst into tears burying his face in the pillow. After an hour he eventually cried himself to sleep. He woke up the next morning realizing that he had slept the whole night. A new flood of tears cascaded down his cheeks when he thought of the previous night. 'That bastard…how could he?' Duo thought miserably.
~Flashback~
Heero walked over to Duo smiling as he approached.
"Duo…I've something to tell you…" he whispered.
"Yeah, what is it buddy?" Duo asked curiously.
"Well you see…Its going to be announced in a minute anyway…but" Duo grinned at his tongue-tied friend clapping him on the back to urge him on.
"I wanted to tell you first so here goes…Relena she…she asked me to marry her…and I said yes" Duos face fell. Heero's smile faltered.
"Aren't you happy for me Duo?" he asked.
"Y…yeah…sure I am" Duo said weakly, trying valiantly to smile. "Congratulations Heero" he said softly. Heero narrowed his eyes, anger bubbling to the surface.
"I thought you were my friend Duo…I thought you would be glad for me" he snapped.
"And I thought we were more than friends" Duo sighed. Relena was calling for everyone's attention. Heero glanced up at her and when he turned back around Duo was gone.
~End Flashback~
Duo got off the bed and wandered over to the dressing table. He looked in the mirror. He felt disgusted by what he saw staring back at him. Red rimmed eyes on a pale thin face. He hated himself. He reached for the scissors on the table remembering something Heero had said once; 'You have such pretty hair Duo' With one chop it was gone. What was left of his hair dangled dejectedly around his shoulders. The ends were uneven and jagged. He couldn't stay here much longer. At least now the others wouldn't recognize him when he was leaving. He decided that before he left he would go to the hairdressers and then come back and pack. He put on his black trenchcoat and a pair of sunglasses to hide his red eyes. He slipped out of the apartment block easily and quickly found a hairdresser. She cut his hair up to his jawline evening the ends. 'Hmm…they may not recognise me with the hair but the clothes are a dead giveaway' He spent the remainder of the money he had with him to buy a new outfit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He returned to the apartment. He packed quickly shoving some clothes in a duffel bag and what few belongings he had went in too. He tried on the clothes. He had bought a pair of faded jeans ripped at the knees and red v- neck T-shirt and an orange sweater, which he tied around his waist. He admired his reflection in the mirror. He looked like a new man. There was a knock at the door. Duo grumbled to himself.
"Go away" he shouted
Duo, let me in!" Trowa's voice could be heard outside the door. 'Why's he here?' Duo thought.
"I said go away," he shouted again.
"Duo open this door this instant or I'll break it down!" Duo muttered under his breath as he opened the door. Trowa gasped in surprise.
"Duo…what did you do…" he asked seemingly in shock. "Where are you going?" he said when he saw the bag.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why do you care Trowa and what are you doing here?" he said abruptly.
"Quatre saw you leaving lastnight and said you looked upset…Has this anything to do with Heero's engagement?" Duo picked up his bag frowning at it.
"Everything and nothing to do with it…" he brushed past Trowa "Now if you'll excuse me I'll be off"
"Keep in touch Duo" Trowa said quietly
"Yeah whatever" Duo grunted with a wave over his shoulder. Trowa sighed closing the door behind him.
"Catch!" Duo threw the key to Trowa. Trowa caught it. "I might see you around Tro"
"Take care Duo" Trowa walked down to reception. He was handing in the key when Heero walked over.
"Leaving already?" he asked. Trowa thanked the receptionist and turned around to Heero.
"Not me…Duo's gone. I wouldn't have known except I went up to talk to him a minute ago."
"Is he still around?" Heero asked.
"No he's gone," Trowa said watching Heero's face. Even though his face showed little expression he knew Heero was upset.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duo walked into the street. Thankfully it was a warm sunny day so he had an excuse to wear his sunglasses. He didn't know where he was going and he had nowhere to stay. He was knocked to the side as someone pushed past him, looking around. 'Shit' he thought looking away 'Heero' Every now and then he would stop and talk to people. Suddenly Duo realised what was happening; Heero was looking for him. He was about to turn and run the opposite direction when Heero started walking towards him. He cursed under his breath.
"Excuse me but have you seen a guy with a long braid wearing black clothes?"
"Ah…don't think so…nope don't believe I have" he mumbled. Heero thanked him and left. Duo heaved a sigh of relief. He continued to wander through the town walking as far from the others as he could get. When darkness fell he decided he would be safer off the street. He wandered into a club. He sat at the counter and ordered a drink. The music boomed out behind him. He sipped his drink slowly enjoying the atmosphere. He slipped his glasses into his bag.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey pretty…Haven't seen you here before" A guy sat in the seat beside him. The smell of alcohol was strong on his breath. "Do you want to dance?" he asked
"No it's okay…" Duo murmured "I think I'm jus going to sit it out"
"Aw c'mon" the guy grabbed his arm and tried to pull him towards the dancefloor.
"I…said…no!" Duo said clearly, pulling his arm from the man's grasp. The guy threw him a dirty look before walking away. Duo returned to his drink. After a few hours the club was closing and he had to leave. The street was dark, before he would've blended in with his dark clothes but now he stuck out like a sore thumb. He started to hum and began walking down the street. It wasn't long before he noticed that he was being followed. He felt for his gun, cursing when he realised that it was in his bag. Knowing that he wouldn't have time to get it he did the first thin that came to mind; he ran! He could hear them behind him as they chased after him. He glanced over his shoulder…six men…crap!! While he was looking behind him he never saw the curb until his foot met it and he was thrown forward. He instinctively brought his hands up to cover his face. He struggled to his feet and tried to run. His knew gave way and he fell to the ground.
