Last Days 2
That night Duo came home earlier than he usually did. He walked in through the door to the kitchen slowly and sat down at the table where the other 4 boys sat. Heero looked at him a little worried, and so did Quatre. Trowa had is emotionless face on, and WuFei just didn't show pity for the American boy. Duo looked up at them, and tried his best to give his famous Maxwell grin, but it failed terribly. After a few minutes of quietness, Trowa stood up and walked down the hall.
"I'm going to bed." He said in a monotone voice. Everyone watched as he left, then Duo got up and said, "I'm doing the same. A little tired from all that walkin, ya know!" Duo smiled and walked off. He walked down the long halls until he found his and Heero's room that they shared. He opened the door, letting the lights from the hall way flood in, then he stuck his arm around the door to turn on the light. Once the light was on, Duo could see clearly inside now.
"Trowa?" Trowa was sitting on his bed watching him with his one visible eye.
"We need to talk." He said in his monotone voice again.
"Yeah, I guess we do. Why were you following me today?" Duo asked with a slight grin on his face. He walked in and closed the door behind him, he then sat down on one of the big chairs in the room with his feet up on his bed. Trowa looked at him carefully.
"I think you know why Duo. You haven't been acting like yourself. Everyone's worried about you." Trowa said with a little sympathy in his voice.
"Its nothing to worry about! But you would probably know one of the real reasons since you were the one who followed me to the hospital and the park." Duo remarked with the grin still on his face.
"Uncle Duo? That's something I wanted to ask you. And also why were you at the hospital?" Trowa asked as he got a little more comfortable on Duos bed.
"Ah...That's what the kids from the hospital call me. Uncle Duo. I used to go to the kids area in the hospital when I had to wait, and I would make them laugh." Duo's grin got bigger at the memories of him at the hospital with all the kids, laughing at his jokes and his acting. "They recovered faster and better with me around. Heh, they loved me. And now we always meet at the park, and I hang out with 'em. Amy is the best of them though. She had some sort of brain virus or something, and they had to go and cut the part that it had affected out. I felt so sorry for her just laying there in the bed sheets. Her face was just as pale as the white sheets, I couldn't stand it, so I had to help her, and she ended up being one of the nicest little kids I know. As for why I go to the hospital, you have to promise not to tell any of the others." Duo's smile began to disappear.
"That depends, are you going to tell them if its important?"
"I was planning on telling them about it tomorrow morning."
"Then I'll wait until then...Good night Duo..." Trowa said as he stood up and left the room. He closed the door behind himself and walked back down the hall to his room.
Duo changed into his silk black boxers, and black tank top. Then he went to bed, trying to get all of his thoughts into order. How was he going to tell his friends tomorrow? And how would they react? Duo felt something cold run down his cheek. Duo raised his hand to his cheek and put his fingers to the cold tear, he had cried, for the first time in years. He never cried, not even in the war, why now? He was the God of Death, why should he be afraid of it? He should be welcoming it! Not fearing it and feeling sorry for himself! Wait...no....He shouldn't be thinking this.
"How could I be thinking this? I won't die! I can't die! There are so many more things for me to do so many more places for me to see without having to fight. I have a life now, and I'm not going to just let what's left of it slip out of my fingers! I won't!" Duo said as he felt more tears run down his face. He quickly turned over and covered his face in his soft pillow. "How can I feel so much pity for myself...I am such a COWARD!" Duo hit his fists against his pillow, felling the bed move as his fists hit. He sat up and looked down, there were tears all over the cotton. He picked it up and threw it against the wall.
"I know...I just need some sleep, then, in the morning I'll be better. I know I will..." Duo lay in bed, restless for about another hour. Then he fell into an uneasy sleep, twisting and turning all night.
When Heero opened the door to go to bed at around 1:00am, he looked in to see if Duo was asleep. He saw the boy moving around on his bed, never laying still for more than a few seconds. His sheets were all coming out from his bed, and his blanket was half on him, half off. There were incoherent sounds coming from his bed too. Heero tried to ignore his friend…And just go to bed, but he couldn't. Heero noticed the pillow across the room, and picked it up. It wasn't dry like it usually is, some parts of it was a little wet.
"Had Duo been…He wouldn't…Would he?" Heero looked at the uneasy boy, then back to the pillow in his hands. "Duo would never cry…he never had." Heero put the pillow down on a chair and then went to bed.
The night went fast, and Heero didn't get much sleep. He was too worried about his friend in the bed next to his. In the morning, Heero was the first one up, he was grateful to get out of the room with Duo. He was becoming too worried about him, the perfect soldier, becoming worried about a long haired baka. What was going on around here?
After about another hour, everyone was up and in the kitchen eating breakfast. Duo was surprisingly quiet, and he didn't eat much, he mainly just pushed his food around with his fork. Trowa kept his eye on Duo, knowing that he was supposed to tell them what had been going on. Duo noticed this, and became a little uneasy. He didn't want to have to scare his friends with news that might not be really true. Of course, he had had the catscan, but he could get a second opinion and maybe they could find a way to cure it if it wasn't too late.
"Maxwell?" WuFei asked annoyed. Duo jerked his head up and looked at WuFei with his attempt of his Maxwell grin.
"Pass the butter!" WuFei almost yelled angrily at him.
"Geez Wu-Man!" Duo said as he threw the butter across the table to his Chinese friend. WuFei caught it and glared at Duo.
"I said pass, not throw, baka!" WuFei stated.
During all this, Trowa hadn't stopped looking at Duo, knowing that at some point he would actually tell where he had been the last few days during the day. The, Duo cleared his throat, and got everyone's attention.
"I'm sure that you all probably want to know where I've been these last few days? And why I've been coming home so late?" Duo said, "I know one of you have been wondering, Trowa…"
"He figured out that I followed him." Trowa said. The others looked back at Duo for him to carry on. Duo explained about the children, and that he had been going to the hospital, and how he was always to afraid to have the catscan, and instead he would go and talk to the people in the children's part of the hospital. Then, after explaining almost everything, he paused.
"Duo…so all this time, you've been getting bad headaches? You shouldn't worry! Its probably just nothing!" Quatre said with a cheerful smile on his face. WuFei looked at Duo, still annoyed, "So this is why you've been acting so depressed!?" Trowa and Heero stayed quiet during al lthis, they knew that that wasn't it. There had to be more to the story than that.
"I'm not done WuFei…" Duo said while looking down. WuFei's mouth almost fell to the floor, this was the first time Duo had ever called him WuFei. Not Wufie, not Wu-Man, not Wu, but actually WuFei. Duo looked at him and chuckled lightly, then he frowned again.
"I got the results from the tests the other day." He looked up at them, with something other than the usual happiness in his eyes. Instead this time there was…pain…sorrow, and sadness in them.
"And…?" Quatre asked impatiently. Duo shook his head slowly, while looking down again.
"The results said that…that I have brain cancer." Duo looked up smiling. "I always knew I was death."
"Duo!" Quatre yelled shocked, "Why didn't you tell us!?"
"I couldn't." He said simply.
Heero looked at Duo in his eyes, the got up and walked out. WuFei just sat there, the same as Trowa.
"Did they say they could stop it from spreading?" Quatre asked, looking for reasons for it not to seem as bad as it really was.
"They said its spread too far already. Although, they said it might be cured. But I'm not going to try it. I'm death…I should welcome death." Duo said, his eyes showing something distant. They weren't really focused on one thing.
"Well, even if you welcomed it, we don't welcome it upon a friend! Duo Maxwell, your one of our friends, we don't want you to leave us yet. You still have a long life ahead of you, your only 16! I remember you saying that you were going to date all the cute popular girls at the high school, that some day you were going to go bunji jumping, and that you wanted to get married, and have lots of children and a nice, fun, loving, beautiful wife! Duo…You can't die…Not now…Please let me try and help you Duo…" Quatre said with tears filling his eyes. Duo looked at Quatre and saw all the pain and sadness in the other boys eyes. He didn't have a choice, he had to do as the Arabian said, he couldn't go against his eyes, the eyes were the window into the soul.
