Just to Live

: Pit stop...

"Okay buddy. I'm starting to go crazy over here." Duo had been driving for days now. Stopping only the refill the gas tank. Heero had kept the gun pointed at Duo the whole time. It was not placed against his head sending shivers down his back like it had been. Instead it lie on Heero's arm with his finger never leaving the trigger. But it still was pointed at Duo. The gun was not what was really bugging Duo though. The dark haired teen had barley spoken a word since he had hijacked Duo and his car as Duo was trying to sneak out of the dried up city. The only things that had escaped Heero's mouth were directions to were they were going and things like 'stop. Two minuet brake'.

"There is a town up ahead. Stop there." Duo did as he was told and pulled into the town. All kinds of gangs eyed them them as they got out of the car. Most of them were eyeing Duo. Heero did not dare to leave him.

"I would not touch the car if I were you." Duo said as a few men eyed his car. "Do one thing wrong and the bombs will go off." And with that every one stayed far away from the car.

Duo and Heero walked into an Inn and sat at a table. A girl came and took their order and was off again to fetch it. "So how did you get into that mess at Dome city." Duo asked as drinks were placed on the table before them. Heero being Heero did not answer leaving Duo to ramble like he always did. The girl soon came back with their food and they dug in. the Inn had two floors. The lower for serving and rooms for the owner and workers. The upper for guest that payed to stay there for a night or two. A minstrel played her violin in the corner that seemed to keep the guest nice and civil to each other.

Duo took drink after drink and was soon up and dancing about to the lively song that came from the corner. It was not long until Heero came to the conclusion that Duo was drunk. What the first clue was I can not tell. It could have been when he had tried to get Heero to dance with him. It could have been when he fell on his butt and laughed his head off. But what cause Heero to get up was when a group of men approached Duo and tried to take him off to bed with them. Heero through each of them a death glare as he put an arm around Duo's waist and pulled him in the direction of the stairs.

Heero put Duo on one of the beds in their room. He pulled off Duo's tall boots and leather coat as the boy giggled. Walking over to his own bed he pulled of his own boots and coat. As he removed his shirt he felt soft arms wrap around his waist. A warm body pressed into his back and Heero let out a small gasp.

"Heero... you have a nice body..." Duo said before placing a kiss on the back of Heero's shoulder. He left butterfly kisses up Heero's neck and he crest his ear with his fingertips. Heero was lost in what Duo was doing to him. Soft lips met his and He let out a small moan.

"No. You're drunk." Heero said as he grabbed the hand that was slipping inside the front of his pants.

"Oh you're no fun Heero." Duo giggled as Heero picked him up and placed him on his bed again before he too slipped into his own bed.

In the morning Duo did not seem to remember any of the things that had happened the night before. They payed the Inn keeper got some food and water and were on their way again.

"Almost there." Heero said a few days later. The sun was high and beating down on them.

"Where? I don't see a thing." as soon as Duo closed his mouth tall hills could be seen in the distance. A few hours went by and Duo could see rocks and boulders that were to steep for any man to climb.

"Turn here." Heero pocked Duo with the gun.

"Okay man. Don't get pushy." Duo did as he was told tuning into a cavern that was hidden from the entrance of the rocks. Duo turned on his headlight so he could see better in the darkness he was forced to drive though. The other headlight had been damaged years ago when some men had tried to steal his car.

Duo drove slowly for a good hour until he could once again see daylight. When he pulled out of the cavern he was amazed to find himself in a field of greens, grays, and browns. The cavern had led them into a forest of tall trees that had lasted somehow though time and the changes of the world.

"Drive" Heero pocked Duo with his gun again because he had stopped at the sight of the trees. Duo had never seen so many trees before. In all his travels he had seen a tree here and there but never in a group over ten or fifteen. "Drive" Heero said again and Duo put his foot on the gas once again and the y drove on a little path that twisted though the thick brush and trees.

"Stop" Heero said out of the blue and Duo did but when he went to open his door Heero knocked him out with his gun. He fell forward. His head hit the steering wheel and then the door. His world went black.

Heero got out of the car and walked over to the driver's door and opened it. He stretched out his arm and caught the boy with the long chestnut braid not allowing his beautiful captive to hit the ground. He would never tell how beautiful he thought the boy in his arms was. He loved the deep purple of Duo's eyes and his long hair that was like silk. Now he found that he was staring to like the feeling of having the boy in his arms.

Heero looked Duo's head over and came to the conciliation that he had hit the boy a little hard. There was some bloods coming from Duo's forehead were his head had collided with the steering wheel. Slight swelling was found on the left side of his head and on the back as well. Duo would be out cold for some time. Heero moved him to the backseat before he took the driver seat. He started the car and turned down a hidden path.

Heero stopped on the edge of a very small village. There were about fifteen building in all. All of them made from wood that had come from the forest that surrounded them. He turned off the car and climbed out as a small blond teen approached the car. The teen was about the same age as Duo And Heero who looked about nineteen themselves. Heero opened the back door and lifted the owner of the stolen set of wheels. He did not seem to be very heavy to Heero as he lay limp in Heero's arms.

"Welcome back Heero!" The short blond stopped as he saw Heero remove an unconscious body from the back of the car. "What happened?"

"I used him to escaped Dome City." Heero said as he walked toward the building with the blond at his side.

"Heero!" The other teen yelled at him in frustration. "You don't trust anybody do you?"

"No Quatre. I Don't." Heero said before disappearing into one of the buildings. It was small and was only one room. There was a bed in the far corner. A table and chairs could be found to the right of the door. To the left a small kitchen. Heero laid Duo on the bed and cuffed one wrist to the headboard. He then picked up a bucket on his way out the door. He walked a short distance down a path that led into the woods. Soon he came to a water fall and dipped his bucket into the clear water.

Duo awoke to the sound of someone coming though a door and footsteps on a wooden floor. His head was spinning and his vision not yet clear. The sound of something being set down and a hand on his forehead made him jump. Duo tried to run but soon found himself thrown back down on the soft bed.

"Stay down." Heero ordered as he washed the cut on the back of Duo's head.

"What the?" Duo pulled at his right arm and found it cuffed to something above his head. He tried harder to get up and out from under Heero's hold. "Let me go!"

"No." Heero finished and left Duo's side walking into the kitchen. "You know to much." Duo sat up but his arm was in an odd position.

"Then why did you not kill me when you hijacked my car." Duo asked but got no answer.

"Come in." Heero said as a knock came to the door and a tall teen walked into the house. his light brown hair covering half his face. "Trowa."

"Heero." Trowa answered as he eyed the boy on the bed across the room. "Quatre tell me you brought us a visitor. May I ask why?" Trowa said as he leaned against the counter next to Heero who seemed to be cooking. "No answer then." Trowa said after a few minuets of silence. He then walked over to the bed.

"I'm Trowa." he held out his hand to the braided teen. "Could you enlighten me?"

"Duo," He answered never really taking and eye off Heero. "And I would like to know as well."
