"Dammit Yuy don't do that again." Heero scowled to himself as he leaned in
his chair and smacked himself in the head, "You can't let Duo or the others
know about your past. Dammit it's hard for me to remember it nonetheless
tell other people about it. Great why am I talking to myself?"
Heero shook his head. He really needed to get out some more. If he started answering himself he'd most likely have to go into therapy for being crazy and Duo was the one who needed it more than he did.
"I need to stop thinking about my past and move on with my life. Duo is dead and I need to accept that. Maybe I should get with Relena........nah. I don't like girls like that do I? I thought I was gay. Maybe i'm Bi like Wufei." The memory of when Wufei swallowed some of his pride and told them that he was Bi-sexual pried into his mind, "Well i've meet my talking quota for the day."
He sighed and went to his room to lay down. As soon as he did he started to dream of his childhood.
* * *
Heero woke up from his restless slumber when pebbles were thrown at his window. He put on his slippers and went to his window.
"Heero, I got some bad news." Duo didn't have his normal happy face on, it was one of distress and it looked like he had been crying.
"I'll be right down." Heero went to go get a jacket when Odin walked in.
"Heero. We are leaving. Pack only the necessities and tell your friend to never come back."
"What happened Uncle Odin?"
"Your Aunt died and we are leaving. We don't need you getting sick too so move it." Odin left closing the door behind him.
Heero hurried back over to his window and looked down at Duo, "I can't Duo. Uncle Odin just walked in and told me that i'm leaving. He knows of your visits. You can't come back Duo."
"Why? Why are you leaving?" Duo seemed to be crying.
"My Aunt died Duo. He doesn't want me to get sick so we are leaving. I'm sorry Duo."
"That's what I need to talk to you about Hee-chan. Solo and the others died because of the plague. I'm being sent to that Maxwell Church." Duo cried out, "I don't want you to leave me Hee-chan. Please don't leave me alone Heero." He fell to his knees in grief.
"HEERO! GET A MOVE ON!"
"Alright Uncle Odin! Duo i'm sorry, I can't." He walked away from the window and went to his closet.
"Fine Heero! I hope I never see you again and that i'll die with all of my real friends!" Duo yelled then took off running.
"Duo wait!" Heero ran to his window and yelled, but the long haired boy was already gone, "Gomen nasai Duo..............aishiteru koi."
* * *
Heero sat up in a cold sweat and panting. He wiped his face with his hand and went into the bathroom. He changed into his nightclothes and went back into his room. Shortly after he had settled back into bed someone knocked at his door again. Once again he reluctantly got up.
Heero looked through the spy hole and counted to ten. 'Ichi, ni, san, yon, go, roko, nana, hachi, kyuu ku, juu' (1). Another knock came and he opened the door.
"What is it Duo?" Heero said tiredly and annoyed.
"Do you ever answer your phone?"
"It never rang." Heero left the door and sat on his couch.
"I got your machine 5 times. Quatra was worried when you never answered and he made me come over here cause of it." Duo walked in and closed the door behind him.
"What if I was out?"
"You're never out unless you are at work."
"And?"
"And what i'm saying is you are not being yourself Heero. What is going on with you if you can't even hear the phone ring 5 different times? Quat isn't the only one worried; it's all of us Heero. We've never seen you act like this. Lets put it this way something must be seriously wrong if Une is worried about you." Duo sat in a chair across form Heero, "Like I told you earlier I am going to get these things out of you so we can have our old Heero back. I wouldn't be your best friend if I didn't care."
"I've just had a lot on my mind lately okay. I don't need you guys to worry about me. I've been on my own since I was 8 and most likely will be for the rest of my life. When you called I was asleep, don't worry about it alright." Heero stood up and walked out of the room.
"What the hell was I thinking when I thought HIM of all people could have been Heero. May have the same name, but he is nothing like my Heero." Duo muttered to himself as he ran his hand through his bangs, "I guess I just have to face it. He's gone with Odin and there is nothing I can do about it."
"Would you keep it down in there?" Heero yelled from his room.
"Yes Mother." Duo retorted back and left muttering to himself, "Bastard. Doesn't even give a fuck if people want to help him."
* * *
"Good thing we left when we did. Looks like the Alliance decided to take over our lovely little home." Odin put down his newspaper as the shuttle carrying him and Heero to L3 took off 3 weeks after they had left.
"Hn..." Heero grunted as he looked out the window.
"Turns out that the Maxwell church was destroyed all the occupants killed. A priest, a nun, and a little boy with long hair even if no body was found for him."
This sparked Heero's attention. He picked up the discarded paper and looked over it. Sure enough it was as Odin said, 3 killed and a longhaired boy was included. Heero put the paper down and looked back out the window.
'Duo......i'm sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't there to talk to you. I hope you are happy where ever you are. Aishiteru Duo. Goman nasai.' Heero fell asleep showing the last bit of emotion he would show for the next 10yrs.
* * *
Knock- Knock
Silence.
Knock- Knock
"Heero?" Duo opened the door to Heero's apartment and stuck his head in, "Heero? You home?"
He looked around and noticed that the few belongings that Heero had were gone. Duo walked in and scanned the area. Heero had left and there was no trace of him anywhere.
"Where the hell could he have gone?" Duo scratched his head and walked through the apartment.
When he reached Heero's room he opened the door and looked around. The bedroom was empty too. All that remained in the room was the bed and a bracelet on the nightstand. Duo walked over to the nightstand and picked up the bracelet. As he looked at it memories washed over him.
* * *
"Duo!"
"Heero!" Duo jumped at his friends' arrival, "Where have you been all day?"
"My Aunt and Uncle are making me go to school during the day." Heero huffed from the entire running he did from his house all the way to their meeting spot.
"What the heck is school?" Duo looked at him cockeyed with confusion.
"It's where you go to during the day and they teach you stuff like math and history. My favorite class is art. That's where you get to make stuff. Look at what we made today." Heero held out a string bracelet, "I made this one for you. I made another one just like it and i'm wearing that one. See."
Heero held out his wrist to show Duo the identical bracelet.
"Wow. Thanks Heero." Duo hugged his friend and put the bracelet on.
* * *
"He really is my Heero, but why was he acting strangely?" Then something Heero said the night before hit him.
'How can I do something with my life when it was taken away 10yrs ago?'
"Could he have meant when he had to leave? Dammit I need to find him!" Duo ran out of the room and the apartment clutching the bracelet.
* * *
"Now boarding for L2. All passengers going for the flight to L2 please report to the loading bay."
Heero walked through the loading bay to his shuttle. As he did he heard many people talking and approaching the shuttle. Heero looked over his shoulder and saw Relena Peacecraft surrounded by press and TV cameras.
"Miss. Peacecraft do you have any comment on how you think the meeting on L2 is going to proceed?"
"Miss. Peacecraft do you have any comment what so ever?"
Relena just ignored them and proceeded to the shuttle. Heero shook his head and prayed that he wasn't sitting anywhere near the stalking princess. He shortly found his seat and settled for the trip. Shortly afterwards he was greeted by a certain stalking princess.
"Hello Heero. I haven't seen you in some time." She greeted as she took her seat next to him.
"Hn...." He grunted and looked out the window.
"Just as anti-social as ever I see. How have you've been? How is everybody?"
"Fine. Excuse me Relena, but if you don't mind i'd like for this trip to be a quiet one." He looked at her for a split second before turning his gaze back outside.
"Oh. Okay." She said solemnly and looked at her portfolio she had brought with her.
The rest of the trip was as anti-social as Heero liked. In other words, you could hear a pin drop between the two of them.
* * *
"Ah ha! Found you Mr." Duo said in triumph.
"Who did you find Duo?" Quatra walked into Duo's office at Preventers Headquarters.
"A certain run away. Decided to book a flight to L2 this morning. Heero should have known that he couldn't run from me." Duo gave a cheeky grin and shut his laptop.
"Why would Heero need to go to L2 for?"
"That's what i'm going to find out." 'Yea right. I know what he is doing. He probably thinks that little Duo is dead and is going to accept it. I'll show him it takes more than that to kill me off even if i've already proven that.' Duo added mentally as he made himself a flight to L2 that left in 3 hours, "In 3 hours please tell Une that i'm leaving to L2 Quat. That way she can't stop me since i'll already be gone." "Are you sure Duo? Maybe Heero just wants to be to himself for a while. I mean he has been acting strange lately and just needs some time to himself."
"I highly doubt that. Last night I told him he needs to go out and get a life beyond work and he said and I quote, 'How can I do something with my life when it was taken away 10yrs ago?'. I think he is going to try to uncover something that can't be uncovered."
"What could be on L2 though? Isn't he from L1?"
"Yes, but when his parents were killed he was sent to his Aunt and Uncle's and they happened to live on L2. I think he is going back to pay respects to his friend that he thinks died 10yrs ago."
"How do you know all this?"
"I was that friend even if he doesn't know that, so gonna surprise him." Duo walked past Quatra and out the door then stuck his head back in, "Oh also, I want black and red roses at my funeral. Ya know, just incase Heero decides to kill me for bailing on him even if he was the one who turned me away at a time I needed him most."
Duo waved and left a startled Quatra in his office.
