1 Year Later

A/N: Okay so I said last chapter but I decided to do a 'one year later' kind of thing because after reading through my own story myself I realised how annoying it must have been for you all to now know who tried to blow up Heero.

Duo sighed and snuggled in to Heero's warming body. Finally the house was completely finished. The building had been done months ago but it took forever to decorate and furnish the house. Heero smiled. He was glad everything was done. The house needed a bit of tidying, get paint out of the carpet, finally dust everything down but for the most part the house was perfect again. Duo looked up at Heero.

"Are you happy?" Duo asked. Heero looked down and his longed haired partner. He nodded.

"Yes, why?"

"Do you ever wonder why that bomb was under your pillow?" Duo asked. Heero looked away.

"Well, sometimes, but I don't let it bother me." Duo put his head back down again.

"Not bother you at all?" Heero shook his head. "Not even the fact that someone probably tried to kill you and is probably still out there, still waiting for another plan to pop in to their sick head so as they can kill you for good this time?" Heero shifted and said nothing. Duo looked up again. "It does doesn't it?"

"Well when you put it that way." Heero said but he didn't look back at Duo. "The important thing is that I'm alive and you're alive and we are happy right?" Duo rested his head one more time.

"I guess."

Duo stirred in his bed. He hadn't slept easily for the past to nights and it seemed to him as though he wasn't going to sleep at all tonight. It was because it was round this time last year that he was rushed in to hospital because, well, to put it bluntly he had been blown up. He had never got it out of his mind. He loved Heero and Heero was happy not knowing who put the bomb under his pillow but Duo had always wanted to know who it was. Maybe the person wasn't trying to kill Heero; maybe they had been watching Duo and knew that he went in to Heero's room every day to make sure everything was nice. Maybe they knew that Duo was bound to make the bed look nice and by touching the pillow ^kaboom^ … no more Duo.

Maybe someone was watching him right now, just waiting for him to turn over and activate another bomb.

Duo stopped breathing suddenly, that was a stupid thought he'd just pout in to his head. He didn't want to move now, not even the slightest little bit. He took a glance to his side, then to his other side. If there was a bomb then surely he would have heard it, heard the little clock digits quietly bleeping to themselves. He plucked up courage and turned to him side, he had his eyes closed in case any thing happened and he died … he would die with his eyes closed.

Nothing happened.

He opened them again and looked out of his window, the moon was giving out a bright 'cheese' yellow glow. It must be near full moon. Duo thought. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes and uncomfortably fell top sleep.

Heero looked at hid bed, if he had any nails he would be biting them. He felt like cursing Duo for mentioning the bomb. It had never bothered him before and it was stupid that it was now. He had never been scared of anything and it was pathetic that he was scared of something that he knew damn well wasn't there. He sighed and walked over to his bed. The floorboards creaked as he crept. He sat on the edge of his bed.

Why had that scared him so much? He had never let it worry him before and it was ridiculous that it should bother him now.

He sat for a while just thinking about what would have happened if it had been him patting down the pillow and him being almost killed. It was understandable for that Duo was scared of something that had almost killed him, he was a logical thing for any one but Heero wasn't almost killed, the only thing he lost was his house.

And Duo

Of course, he would have lost Duo but Duo ran away from the bomb but still got a bad impact of it all.

Heero shook his head. Too many thoughts were rumbling round in his head. He had to sleep or he would be grouchy the next day. He sighed and clambered in to his bed without the lights on.

As morning arrived Duo was already and attempting to make some sort of breakfast. Today was the actual day that the bomb went off. Duo was trying to keep a brave face and Heero could see this. As he walked in to the kitchen Duo turned him and jumped.

"What's wrong?" Heero asked although he knew damn well what it was.

"Today a year ago, I'm just I don't know…" Duo started.

"Glad to be alive, glad that you can live each day to the fullest. Glad you can live each day with no regrets and no worries?" Heero said and put his arm round Duo. Duo smiled and shrugged.

"What if someone tries and kills you?"

"If they wanted me dead they would have done it before now wouldn't they?" Heero said. Duo nodded.

"I guess. But does it now bother you how it got there and who put it there?" Heero shook his head.

"No. It was probably some group of kids that saw an open window and put there own made bomb in there, then shut the window. Wait was it open or shut?" Duo shrugged.

"I don't remember."

"Well, whatever, they probably never meant to hurt any one and if they did then they would have tried to kill someone else and someone after that and they've probably been caught. How would I be able to find out who any way? Everything that would have possibly had their finger prints on it would have been destroyed." Duo nodded and smiled.

"I guess."

"And that is how I live me life, knowing that justice is always served." Duo laughed.

"I wish I could live like you." Heero nodded.

"You can, all you have to do is not bother if you are going to live or die because you know that you have always done the best you could do and that if you died tomorrow you will have lived a life doing what you liked doing." Duo nodded.

"So you enjoyed fighting? Enjoyed hurting people, enjoyed loving as well?" Heero shrugged.

"I have no regrets." Duo nodded one more time and smiled again.

"You're right. I have no regrets." Heero nodded.

"See, happy again, that's what I like." He put his arms round Duo and held him tight. Heero had no regrets about fighting, about killing and he never had any regrets about loving Duo. Duo sighed and finally, after a very long year, he felt relieved.

Okay, so you don't actually find out who did it but hey! They are both happy chappies!
