Author: ShinigamiYuy Pairing: 1x2 Rating: Pg-13 Warnings: This is a Halloween Fic, so yeah, it's too short to list the real warnings without giving anything away. Just a little ramble almost. Enjoy.
Note: Heero may or may not be crazy.

He's changed a lot since the last war. He's become more quiet, but that's okay, I've learned to fill the silence in his stead.
A perfect example of that change greets me when I come in from work that evening. He's there, sitting on the couch. The television is a soft hum of noise in the background. Setting my coat aside, and lossening my tie I step over the threshold and take a seat next to him.
"Anything good on?"
Probably not, since this is the same program that was on the television last night; a rerun. Turning again I face the braided pilot of my past. While he has grown more quiet, he hasn't stopped smiling ever. It's firmly fixed in place, even if his eyes don't seem to sparkle as much as they used to.
Sighing I stand up. Sometimes I wonder if I'm crazy, to be here, doing this. How long has it been since then? The day of the accident. Too long. Maybe I lost my mind that day, it's just..
There was so much blood! His body was so broken, so.. pale and cold. I did what I could for him, my Duo. I took him home, and made him as good as new. Well, almost. He's the same boy he's always been except for the quiet. It took a long time for me to fix him.. There were so many things I had to learn to do.
Do you realize how hard it is to cure human skin? I had to buy book after book on taxidermy, and still, it didn't tell me exactly what I needed to know. Luckily I was smart enough to fill in any blanks there were. I put Duo back together, and now he'll be with me, young and vibrant for the rest of my days.
Am I crazy? Maybe, but I don't think so. After all, Duo was the keeper of my sanity, and as long as he's still here, I'll always be sane.
"Come on Duo, lets goto bed, dinner can wait for tomorrow."
Lifting him up like he was a bride, I carried him off to our bedroom for the night, the place with electric blankets that keep the heat in both of our skins.
