Duo's PoV

Do you ever question your life? Sister Helen says that god always has a plan for us all. But I can no longer believe that. I refuse to believe in a god who could bring someone such pain.

"Hee-chan! You have to try this ice cream! I just know you'll love it if you just give it a chance!"

"..."

"Come on Ro' a taste wont kill ya."

I hold out my ice cream cone in front of him, watching him glare at me. Then a sigh in defeat as he grabbed my hand and took a small bite of ice cream.

"Now leave me alone."

I sit there grinning stupidly in the chair next to him for the next 30 minutes finishing off my ice cream cone.

Is this a test of faith? A crule joke on your part? Or maybe I am just dreaming. This has got to be a nightmare. maybe if i just pinch myself. If i could only wake up...

"Maxwell, give me back my damn flash drive!"

I run to the other side of the room jumping over things in my way to avoid an angry Heero, grabbing for my hand.

"No! Not till you stop calling me Maxwell!"

"MAXWELL!"

"NO!"

"God dammit Duo!"

I stop in the middle of running, just to get tackled from the side. I look up to see Heero grabbing his flash drive from my fingers.

"See, was that so bad?"

I grin at him as he rolls his eyes and gets off me.

I shake my head head to clear all the memories from rushing in then I turn to my left to see Quatre looking emotionless, and Trowa next to him looking worried.

"Quat, can we go now?"

Quatre snaps out of whatever thoughts he was having and puts on a fake smile for me.

"Of course, whenever you're ready. I have already made arrangements for you to be at the mansion with Trowa and I."

I shake my head.

"I just need some time alone I think..."

"But Duo-"

Trowa put his hand on Quatre's shoulder, and shook his head. Quatre sighed.

"Well, you know where to call if you need something."

I nod, and quickly walk out of the room we were all standing in.

I just can not believe this was all happening. This was impossible. How could you do this to me God? I thought you were supposed to always be there for me. Not be there to hurt me like this. Why? WHY!?

I quickly unlocked the door to my apartment... Our apartment... Closing the door behind me I kick off my shoes and make my way to his room. I count my steps. Twenty six steps from the front door to his room. My hands shake as I reach for the doorknob and turn it and push it open. My first step in, I was greeted by his familiar and comforting scent. Ocean breeze with traces of oil and grease. Then there was always the hidden, but still noticeable hint of mint. My eyes slowly wandered to his desk, where two bags of lifesaver mints laid. One opened and half eaten, while the other remained closed. I went to his desk and sat in the chair. Reaching into the opened bag of mints and grabbing one, ripping off the small plastic wrapping and throwing it in my mouth. A small smile found its way on my face as I remembered the memory of how I found out he even liked mints. And how he denied it each time I brought it up, but he would still take the bags I bought him. I opened my eyes, not realizing I had closed them.

"This isn't fair Ro', you were not supposed to let this happen..."

My words were replied to by silence. Like how they would be from now on. No more arguments. No more teasing. No more receiving glares. No more Heero.

As I thought those things tears started to slowly form in my eyes and fall. I then left the chair and crawled into Heero's bed, pulling the covers over me, so that his scent was surrounding me. I curl into a ball, letting silent sobs take control of me. And that was how I fell asleep.

Rays of sunlight streamed through any cracks it could find making under the tree look almost magical. I sat there taking in the warmth, picking at the grass underneath me.

"Ro'? Are ya there buddy?"

Silence was all that I heard, but after awhile, I felt a slight pressure on my back, as if someone were leaning against me. A strong scent of mint also surrounded me. I smiled and leaned back.

"Hey Ro' buddy, where ya been?"

Again silence met my ears, but I felt moment that felt kind of like a shrug. And I sighed.

"I miss you... Won't you come back?"

"Come back to where?"

I picked a dandelion that was near my side.

"To where you belong of course. With your team mates."

I blew at the flower, and watched as all but one of them flew off into the wind. But the last one stayed, refusing to be torn away. I gently picked it off and released it into the wind, watching as it did a small dance as it got farther away, then I whispered,

"With me."

Behind me I heard a sigh, then the pressure left and the smell of mints started to become faint. I quickly turned around and saw a figure retreating. I tried to get up, but my legs refused to move. I reached my hand out toward the figure that was now disappearing over the hill.

"Heero!"

I jerked up, breathing hard and covered in sweat. I looked around me then remembered I was in Heero's room, like I had been for the past week. I sighed and kicked the blankets on the floor. Getting up, I walked out of the room, not bothering to shut the door, as I went into the bathroom and turned the shower on. I pulled off my hair tie and started working out the braid, pulling out the pieces of lock picks I had hidden in it, while working out any knots I came across. When that was done I stripped out of my clothes and stepped into the warm spray of water hoping it would clear any of the thoughts I had been having.
