~*~Chapter 13~*~ Life's Lessons
It'd only been but a week, the young adults helping each other as they replenish their patience, keeping their hearts open and understanding Heero's pain and frustrations as he tries to learn. Slowly memorizing, though somewhat painfully, his way around the castle, he continues to live his life without his sight. Yet patience grows thin and turns the kindest hearts somewhat bitter...
Heero took a deep breath, trying to focus. If he wanted to do anything now, it was without his eyes. Quatre was helping him to learn to find his way around, do everyday, common tasks, and to read brail. He was trying to read a child's book.
Quatre sat by his side in the study, having learned brail himself, thankfully, from one of his sisters. That and a few other things like to use sign language. "Do you need help Heero?"
Heero had been trying to read the same book for three days now! He wasn't even half-way through. Frustrations growing inside of him and slamming the book closed, he threw it to the floor. "I give up!" Standing, he made his way to the door, hands stretched out before him. It was no use, he'd never learn.
Out of nowhere, he felt the corner of a small desk jab harshly into his right thigh. Groaning softly and leaning against the door frame, he pounded the wall with his fist and listened to Quatre cross over to his side. It was well into the night and the others were tired, having fallen asleep.
Quatre placed a hand on his friend's shoulder. "It's okay Heero, it can be confusing to learn. When I was taught, I was allowed to look from time to time. This is just going to take a little while. We have the time."
Well, Heero was tired, of waiting, of trying to learn, of everything! He was never going to get it! "No, I don't want to anymore. I can't and won't get it! I want to go back to my room Quatre..." Reaching out slowly, he placed his hand on Quatre's arm and his right one on the wall. Reluctantly, he let himself be led away, he didn't care about anything anymore.
~*~
Trowa awoke to be met with the blinding sunlight shining in through the large windows. Voices echoed down the hall, they sounded like Duo and Wufei. Throwing on a shirt, he headed sleepily toward where the two were arguing. Hilde sat by Duo's side.
"Damn him! He's too stubborn for his own good," Duo declared.
"Cut him some credit, Quatre's trying to teach him but he's not used to being weak." Wufei kept his calm.
Hilde tried to settle her boyfriend down. "Duo, come on. You need to settle down a little bit."
Without thinking, Duo burst out. "Damn it Hilde, this isn't some pathetic little thing that can be cured with a smile or a hope and wishful thinking! Just stop."
Trowa stopped and listened, Duo never spoke like that, let alone to Hilde. Something was seriously wrong.
With a shocked and upset look, Hilde took a step back. "I was trying to be nice Duo, but if you're just going to be a complete jerk, then don't bother coming to talk to me or anything! Just leave me alone." Turning, she strode angrily to her room.
Trowa stood where he was, his lips set in a frown.
"Duo, she's right. Just settle down, she tries to help." Wufei crossed his arms before his chest and leaned his back against the wall.
"Look Wufei, you don't know everything and you need to mind your own business." Duo only left in the opposite direction, toward the palace grounds.
Trowa only shook his head and walked to the Chinese warrior. "What was that about?"
Wufei sighed, sometimes Duo could be so conceited. "Heero's sulking again, he no longer wants to try. He got frustrated with himself and life last night. Frustrated at the mildest. Quatre and Relena don't know what to do, Duo's just ticked and it looks like Hilde is too, and I'm just a little tired of all of this. Anything with you?" He tried to change the subject and lighten the mood.
"Not really." He gave a soft laugh but stopped at hearing soft thunder. "Is he awake?"
"Heero? Yah, Relena's with him now." He stopped and listened to some more yelling coming from inside Heero's room. Seconds later, Relena was exiting the room, crying. Letting her cry on his shoulder as he held her in a comforting embrace, Wufei released a disgusted sigh.
"I'll be back Wufei." Trowa had seen the last of it. Heero had made Relena cry one time too often. Things had been going like this for far too long, everyone was out of patience. Well, Trowa was sick of it too, and he wasn't bound to sit idly by. Entering Heero's room, he walked to his bedside and stood. Heero sat near the open balcony doors once again as the rain poured.
"Just leave_me_alone!" Heero wasn't sure who was in the room with him, but he didn't want them there.
"No such luck."
"Trowa, leave! Why can't you just leave me alone?!" Heero stood, swiping out at the area where Trowa sounded like he was at, but lost his balance somewhat and collapsed to his knees. Smacking his fists against the floor, he yelled as Trowa neared. "Damn it, leave me alone!"
"No, and what'd you say to Relena?"
"Fuck off! I don't need to answer to you Trowa!" Heero snapped at the other young man.
"You're being so fucking selfish; we're trying to help you and the last I saw was Relena crying as soon as she came out of your room. Cut the crap, life goes on, stop being an ass." His voice was cool and calm, but he was rather pissed himself.
"That's not my problem, just leave me alone!"
"No, just get over yourself Heero."
"You wanna make me feel better? You want so much to help me, then end my pain and my miserable life now."
Throwing his arms into the air, he released a sigh. Heero was going to learn, one way or the other. "You're coming with me." Reaching down, he grabbed Heero's wrists and began to pull him toward the open doors and toward the garden.
Pulling his arms away, or trying to, Heero struggled against Trowa, feeling himself being pulled along the floor as he kicked and yelled. "Damn it Trowa, leave me alone! Let me go! If you don't leave me alone, I'll kill you damn it!" He felt the grass beneath him, rain poured down upon his face, soaking him as he felt himself being lifted off the ground.
Trowa literally picked Heero off the ground and carried him to the middle of the garden. "We aren't going back in until you realize that life goes on."
Heero fell to the ground, his knees sinking into the muddy grass as cold rain pounded his back. He wasn't sure where he was, but cringed slightly at hearing the loud crack of thunder roll across the sky above him. Shivering, he called out. "Trowa! Take me back inside! Just let me be in peace!"
Standing beneath the branches of the large oak, Trowa leaned against the trunk. "We are staying out here as long as it takes."
"Are you trying to kill me?!"
"You either die and end your pain or learn what you should have so long ago. Either way, it works, doesn't it? You offered."
Heero gritted his teeth, cringing as the wind howled around them. "Why are you doing this to me?"
"To show you that life goes on, that it's all around you. The world doesn't revolve around you, but it wants you to be a part of it. You don't realize how many people care about you and that you're hurting. You aren't the only one suffering. Duo and Hilde lost their home, but cared enough to take you in, help you, and do whatever it took to get you back on your feet so to say. Duo risked everything to go back into that house to get you out. And it's been utter hell for the rest of us, wondering if you were going to wake up, if you were going to be okay. You might actually be surprised that you are wanted and are needed. That there are those that care for you.
Just listen to the world around you. What do you feel?" He spoke just above the storm.
"The damn, cold rain."
"What you feel is one of the few things, the simple but key things that gives life back to this small planet. It's on of the things that makes the world work. It gives life..."
"And destroys it!"
"But allows it to be reborn."
Heero struggled to stand but his balance was off as he fell back to the ground. It might take him a while, but he'd find his room.
Trowa only watched him slowly make his way around, the silent young man not moving from his spot near the tree.
Relena entered, seeing the others gathered at the glass doors, but Trowa and Heero weren't with them. "Where's Heero?"
Duo had come in as the rain started. Watching his friends, he pointed the two out. "Outside."
"What?!"
Quatre held Relena back, preventing her from running to his side. "Trowa knows what he's doing."
Relena stopped but continued to insist. "But it's freezing out there!"
"He needs to learn, Relena. Heero will be fine and most of the snow has melted anyway. It's not as cold as it was." Wufei only smirked.
So Relena watched helplessly.
Trowa walked back into the pouring rain, catching Heero and sitting his soaking form on the ground after he nearly fell into a larger pond. Heero only brushed his hands away and hugged himself, but Trowa sat by his side anyway. "Feel the soft grass beneath you..."
"It's dead!" Heero snapped. "And frozen with ice."
Taking a deep breath, Trowa nodded and smiled. Heero contradicted what he said, for he spoke as if it were a sweet spring day when it was the middle of winter. Heero was learning whether he knew it or not. "Yet does it not need the strong rains and cold winter snows to be reborn come spring? Such simple life, the flowers, grass, trees; they live life to its fullest. They don't need eyes to see, mouths to speak, ears to hear, hands to feel, nor tongues to taste. But such simple and pure life is what makes up life."
Heero's tongue was sharp and quick to retort. "That's because they're plants! I'm human and need my sight!"
"You need sight to live life to its fullest, yes. But you don't need your eyes to see."
Now Trowa was just speaking in riddles and Heero grew colder, tired, and weary of these games. "That's supposed to mean what?!"
Letting his smile widen, Trowa hoped he was finally getting through to Heero as he took the jacket he'd quickly snatched as he left Heero's room and placed it over his friend's shoulders. "You feel the ground beneath you, cold, firm, and bare as you told me. As is the rest of the garden around you. Take in a deep breath, you can almost taste the natural spices and smell the wet, clustered leaves. They cover the ground, leaving the trees bare. You can feel from where the wind blows, yet there are trees that block its path and you can find your way around them. You know it's raining, so the sky is no longer blue but covered by clouds. Can you not vaguely see the garden before you? You can see without your eyes, it is that easy.
Heero took in the picture, seeing the garden though somewhat hazily. So he sat quietly.
"All you need to learn is to see your surroundings without your eyes. Life exists all about you, and all you have to do is welcome it back with open arms." Placing a hand on Heero's left shoulder, Trowa wiped the water from his emerald eyes. Yet he spotted a tear or two mingling with the rain upon Heero's cheeks and he smiled. Heero was scare, confused, frustrated, and hurting in his own ways. That was okay, but all he had to do was push past it. "Heero, you don't have to do this alone, you never have been and never will be. Just let us help you."
Thunder clashed above his head, the wind howling around his frozen form. Heero still didn't know what to do, he was tired of taking on everything alone. Softly, he called back. "I'm just so tired of being by myself..."
It wasn't something he would normally do, but he let Heero lean weakly into him and slowly encircle his arms around his friend's weary shoulders. "You were never really alone Heero, not when you had friends that you just didn't realize." Standing, he helped Heero up and let his weary friend lean against him. The harsh rain let up, now a soft sprinkle, the wind going from a pounding stream to a soft breeze. Small rays of sunlight peeked from behind the clouds. It was as if the angels were approving. "You'll never be alone, I'll always be there as a friend should everyone else disappear, I swear it."
Heero let Trowa lead him into the house, his lean form continuing to shiver. Life was all around him, within him. All he had to do was embrace it openly.
Duo smiled, knowing that as soon as his friends were inside and okay that he needed to apologize to Hilde. He'd tried to apologize to Wufei, but he only smiled and said it was okay. "We're going to need a few blankets, towels, and new, warm clothes." With a happy Relena, he headed off quickly.
Heero felt the dip in the ground just before he fell in it, collapsing wearily to his knees. He was so cold and tired, but glad to have a sense of being wanted. The young Japanese man felt his concerned friend kneel quietly by him, but he hadn't really slept in the past three nights and was only fueled by his anger and frustrations. "Thanks Trowa..." Tiredly, he fell forward but felt Trowa's stronger arms take his shoulders, then pick him up and cradle him. Heero was too tired to care, but instead leaned into his friend and drifted off into sleep, the coat around his shoulders being pulled closer to warm him. The neck was put up as a small shield from the wind and soft rain. Then Heero knew no more, for he was asleep.
Trowa walked the last half of the distance between them and the palace, carrying his friend. At the door to his room, he handed over the confused young man and began to dry himself off. After about five minutes, Trowa had quickly changed and dried off, his hair still a little wet. All he did now was watch Heero being tucked into bed cozily by Relena. She seemed to enjoy the ability to take care of him. At least she was happy. "I think he's finally learned..." Seeing her nod, he smiled but sneezed out of the middle of nowhere. He would have to pay for his little stunt with a cold, but it was better than what could have happened.
"You should rest and keep warm so you can help your body get rid of the cold you're getting. I'm sure you'll both have one." Relena stepped over to Trowa, wrapping the blanket tighter around his shoulders. "Thank you Trowa, for what you did just a few minutes ago."
Nodding, he let his gaze drift back to his friend. "No problem," then more to himself and Heero, "I'll always be here, I know what it's like to be alone too. I'll always be here and your friend, always."

A/N: Sorry this took so long. I had writers block and I worked past it, finally! ~cheers~ I'm in a really good mood, I just got my first car! ~dances and bounces off the walls~ Well, hope you enjoyed this, and don't worry, things start to look up for the guys. Especially Heero... ~snickers and evil grin~ There are only three peeps who know what's happening, Andi, Dayle, and me. ~giggles~ The story is almost done, I think you might like the end. Oh, and I got a request from Wufei to try a POV about him, so I'm gonna. If I haven't done a POV about your fav. character, go ahead and review and tell me. I'll make you one! Feel free to ask for any dedications, I need more to write and I'm running out of ideas. Oh, feel free to input ideas too! My muse is starting to fail me. ~grumbles~ That's okay, I have a few others, but they're on summer vacation! ~glares~ Okay, have fun and enjoy this. If any of you were reading Love's Last Whispers, I posted the epilogue! It says how Relena took what happened and whether Heero died or not. I've got lots of new chapters up on Mercy's Sacrifice: Sequel too. Had a big time inspiration when I wasn't dodging toothpaste bottles or pens that my friend threw at me.. ~ducks from folder~ I've really gotta stop letting things slip, I'm getting as bad as Duo... ~dodges pillow~ Here are the POV's I've done:
Heero, Duo, and Trowa
If you want another done of them with a certain idea, go ahead and ask. I'll do it! ~laughs, sprinting away from crazed friend~ See ya later!

If any of you were reading Love's Last Whispers, I posted the epilogue! It says how Relena took what happened and whether Heero died or not. I've got lots of new chapters up on Mercy's Sacrifice: Sequel too. Had a big time inspiration when I wasn't dodging toothpaste bottles or pens that my friend threw at me.. ~ducks from folder~ I've really gotta stop letting things slip, I'm getting as bad as Duo... ~dodges pillow~ Here are the POV's I've done:
Heero, Duo, and Trowa
If you want another done of them with a certain idea, go ahead and ask. I'll do it! ~laughs, sprinting away from crazed friend~ See ya later!
