AN: Hello again everyone! Here's another chapter, yay! I will probably post one more after this over the weekend and then you wont hear from me again for 2 weeks. My mom is coming to visit me and will be here for two weeks and since I live in a small one bedroom, I probably wont get the opportunity to write any. So, I hope that this will hold you over until then. Don't worry, everything will be explained.

Same warnings as always, same disclaimer.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Chapter 4- The lie that told truths

Duo's heart stopped when he heard those words, "Sally died…" he just couldn't believe them. Of course he had wondered why he hadn't heard from the woman in so long, but, he never once thought that might be the reason. On top of that, Wufei! That Bastard! He never mentioned a thing!

Well at least now Duo understood part of why the man was drinking. His Preventers partner and wife had just died! Duo was seething with rage. He stopped in his pacing as his mind raced from thought to horrible torrid thought. His hands clenched into tight fists at his sides, nails digging into his palms. He wanted to punch something, hurt something. He was a man of action and right now he needed some action terribly.

"Quatre!" he barked out turning back to the other man who was still seated. "Do you still spar?" his clipped tone told Quatre just how upset he was and the smaller man just nodded slowly. "Fine then, lets go. I need to work off some steam." Without looking back he made his way out the door trusting on Quatre to follow.

Quatre quickly stood and all but ran out the door after Duo. Once he caught up to him he quickly passed him so that he could lead the way.

Two hours later found them both flat on their backs breathing heavy and covered in sweat. On any other day Duo would have joked about their current positions, but as it was he was still upset. He did feel calmer after the good workout though and was happy to see that Quatre hadn't lost any of his abilities.

"Good God Quat! You still fight like your back in the war! Who taught you all of that?"

Quatre blushed at the praise. "Not true Duo, I was just doing everything in my power to keep up with you. You're too good. And most of my techniques I learned after the war, Trowa taught me."

Duo went silent for a moment before rolling onto his side to look at Quatre. With a curious look on his face he asked, "Did you and Tro ever get together? I mean you were so obviously into each other back during the war."

Quatres eyes went wide at Duo's question and within seconds his whole face had turned a bright tomato red. "W-well actually…" He stuttered trying to find the correct words and after a second fell silent once more. He rolled himself over so that he was facing Duo and let out a small sigh.

Duo's concerned look was the only thing that got him to talk once more. Aquamarine eyes closed in a pained expression before a soft voice made its way past its lips. "I was crazy about him. Still am actually. But after the war he went his own way and even though we've sort of kept in touch I was never brave enough to say anything more. I was afraid that it would ruin what friendship we already had, precarious as it was."

He opened his eyes and finally dared to look at Duo who was currently staring at him with a strange expression on his face. "I guess none of us got our happy endings then huh?" he ventured softly reaching out a hand to grab the blue eyed mans. He gave a gentle squeeze in understanding before pulling his hand back and standing up.

He allowed himself one quick stretch arching his back and raising his arms high above his head, before offering a hand to help Quatre up, who took it willingly. Once they were both standing Duo gave him an award winning smile. "You know there is still time. I mean I'm starting over, so why don't you?"

The shy smile that graced Quatres face spoke a thousand words all on its own. The now much larger man then reached a hand out and took Duo's in his own in a firm handshake. "It's a deal Duo! Lets do everything we can to find our own happy endings!"

'We shook on it, so it's official' Duo thought as he made his way back up to his room. The windows were open allowing a soft breeze to filter through. Even though it was December it was still warm outside on the colony. He basked in the feeling of the wind ghosting over his arms and through his hair. It reminded him somehow of the times he spent on earth with Heero.

He allowed himself to get lost in thoughts of the messy haired half-asian. It felt like it had been a truly long while since he had even spare a thought for the other man. He considered Heero to be his best friend during the war, standoffish as he was.

Everything about the blue-eyed war hero called out to Duo and he had assumed that even after the war they would remain close. Unfortunately life had other plans for him. He didn't regret his time with Wufei for one minute, how could he? He had two beautiful children out of the deal and he loved them both dearly.

Thinking about his children turned his thoughts dark as they moved to Wufei. He truly did not understand what the hell was going on. How could Wufei be married to him and to Sally at the same time? It was obvious that Eliza came from him, but what about Toby? Was Toby even his? The boy looked nothing like him and more like Wufei than anything. Other than the obvious blue eyes.

Questions ran through his mind in a frenzied cloud growing darker and darker by the second. Nothing made sense any more. Everything was a confusing mess. He'd loved Wufei! And now he didn't even know if Wufei ever really loved him.

Then something clicked inside Duo's head. He suddenly felt very sad for the Asian man. What had happened to bring the once Justice and Honor obsessed man down to commit such an atrocity? The man used to go everywhere ranting about justice and honor and Duo realized with a start that the whole time he was with Wufei, he never once used those words. Even during the wedding ceremony their vows included everything but.

He'd taken a vow to love, cherish, respect, and protect Wufei til death do they part. He felt that he'd done his best to uphold those vows, Wufei on the other hand, had not.

Duo turned to his bed and flopped down on it in frustration. He knew he would have to go back and confront Wufei about all of this sooner or later. Although, right now he wanted nothing more than to beat the guy senseless, while he's sober of course.

After some more heavy and deep thought, he decided to ask Quat to watch his kids for a few days while he made the trip back to L-2 to confront Wufei. He had to know the reason for everything; all the lies, deceit, and abuse.

With a nod and a plan of action in his head he quickly jumped up intent on hunting down Quatre and relaying his plans. He knew what he had to do and figured that it was better to just go ahead and get it over with rather than wait. With that thought he quickly strode out the door.
