1Dreams are never....
Duo pulled himself from the bed, his legs were shaking violently under him. "I knew I should have kept struggling." He growled. "At least then I wouldn't have been so weak right now."He took a step and grabbed onto the wall, leaning heavily. After a moment he slowly started sliding along the wall, a step, a breath, a shaking step, a deeper breath.
"Damn it, this will take forever." He huffed., his next step almost failed. "Fuck." He cursed and took a moment to think.
"Let me help you." Heero said wrapping an arm around Duo, who in turned jumped.
"Where the hell did you come from!." He growled.
"I just came in the door when you where getting up." Heero said calmly. Duo narrowed his eyes.
"You could have said something, you gave me a heart attack." Heero's eyes widened and he immediately lifted Duo's heart to look at the Jhyly.
"It looks fine." Duo had to place a hand over his face to stop himself from trying anything on Heero.
"It was a figure of speech that the humans use." He growled.
"Oh, well don't say that, I'll think you actually have a heart." Heero countered. That made Duo smile a bit, a very small bit. Heero ignored it and took Duo to the window.
"Is this what you wanted?" He asked.
"Of course." Duo said sitting on the seal and leaning back to enjoy the air. "It's too clean here sometimes....i..."
"Like it?"
"...no." Duo said and closed his eyes to look away from Heero.
"Fight it as much as you want Duo, but you're mine." Heero said sitting with him and pulled him into his arms. "I'm going to show you that."
"You can't enslave me." Duo growled.
"That is not my intension, Duo." Heero said, he ran fingers through Duo's long hair. "Why did you stop coming back here?"
"When we were little? Because I....that....it's not any of your business...but...." Duo sighed and started settling down. Heero's fingers still working in his hair. "My chest is...warm....stop...." He whispered.
"No."
"I don't like this feeling."
"Duo, you don't know what this feeling is." Heero said. "I was scared of it too, but when you never came back I realized what it was."
"And?"
"You'll learn." He said and kissed Duo's forehead. "Now please, tell me."
"I can't tell you." Duo said. "I don't know why." He said, then his eyes snapped open and he struggled against Heero. "Get off, let me go." He growled. Heero sighted and got up, leaving Duo there.
"I'll have someone send in some food, as for me I have work to do." He said and left. Duo glared at him until he was gone.
"Heero, Heero, where are you?" Duo called crawling into the large garden from the whole in the wall. He was filthy, and bruised, tears streaked his cheeks, and a cut on his forehead.
"Right here, Duo....Duo you look awful." Heero said as he came into the patch of the garden that was sealed from view of the castle. He pulled out a cloth, and some herbs that he had gotten in habit of bringing with him.
"No time for that, look what I caught for you." Duo said opening his clutched hand to show Heero the dead butterfly. Duo's face fell and his shoulders slumped when he saw it wasn't moving. "It's sleeping right?" He asked Heero.
Heero took it gently from Duo. "No Duo I'm sorry, it died."
"I killed it." He said wrapping his arms around himself.
"It's okay, look." Heero said and dug a whole in the grass with his hand and placed the butterfly in it. He covered it with dirt and reached up for Duo's hand. 'Place your hand over it." He said. Duo knelt down with him and placed his hand over the lump, Heero covered Duo's hand with his own and a light blue light flashed and a flower grew out from the lump as they pulled there hands away. It was a bright steam, with large leaves, but when the flower bloomed it was a deep dark purple. Heero smiled. "It's beautiful Duo." Heero said.
"You really think so?" Duo asked
"I do. Duo when you catch things, handly them gently okay?" Heero said. Duo nodded and finally let Heero get to his cuts and bruises. "Will you stay the night tonight?"
"Yes, mommy left the house, and daddy is really mad." He said leaning against Heero.
"Then I will stay out here with you tonight." Heero said leaning against a tree and pulled Duo into his arms.
