Yaoi: Heero and Duo

"Heero, you can't even get up?" Duo asked, worriedly, laying back down next to Heero, smoothing a hand over Heero's hair, much like someone might pet a cat. "Uh, uh." Heero said. He knew he sounded like an infant, but he didn't care. He really couldn't get up and didn't feel like forming complete sentences. Duo leaned over and kissed Heero's forehead. "Since you can't get up, will you let me carry you?" Duo asked. "Carry me to the hospital?" Heero asked. "Yeah, it isn't far from where we've touched down, because it wasn't far from where the carrier took off." Duo said. "Okay." Heero said. Duo leaned down and kissed Heero on the lips. Heero kissed him back, but it was very weak. Duo pulled away. "Come on, Heero." Duo said, hefting Heero up into his arms.
Heero had his hands in his lap and his face buried in Duo's chest as he walked through and out of the carrier. He was strong enough to hold Heero for a long time. He could probably just make it to the hospital and to wait for someone to come and take him away. Duo wasn't going to let them take him away, though, until they knew what was wrong with him. Or at least, one of the things. He just didn't know how he was going to tell them. He couldn't just go up and say 'Hey, a mad scientist put some kinda chip in Heero's head and now it has to be taken out of his brain. Could you be so kind as to take it out?' That wouldn't go over too well.
Before he knew it he was at the hospital. Heero had fallen back to sleep in Duo's arms. Duo smiled down at him. Heero looked so precious right then. He was precious. To Duo. He was Duo's Eden, his heaven and Earth and he'd be damned if he let Heero die or be in pain for any longer than he absolutely had too, which was still too long for Duo's taste. Any pain Heero was in was too much and how long he was in it was too long. That was how Duo felt and he had a feeling Heero felt the same way about him. He went in through the hospital's automatic doors and walked up to the receptionist. She was typing and didn't seem to notice him. Duo cleared his throat. "Oh, I'm sorry, sir. May I help you?" The receptionist asked. "Yeah, uh...." Duo took a moment to look at her nametag. "Pam. My boyfriend has a serious problem." Duo said. "Yes, and what's wrong with him?" Pam asked, getting forms ready. "He has something in his brain that shouldn't be there. It's a chip of some kind and before you ask me, no I don't mean like a chip that you would eat. This chip is made out of things like metal or plastic. I'm not sure what it's made out of, because I didn't make it and I didn't put it there. If it's not out within as certain period of time, then Heero will have a deadly poison spreading through his body from way of his brain into his nervous system. I want him to undergo X-rays and surgery immediately and I will be glad to fill out any forms you want me to after I am assured that he's undergoing the X-rays necessary to determine where the chip is and how to possibly get it out without doing him unnecessary harm or fatally hurting him. Before you tell me, yes, I know there's always the risk of death or other possibilities involved, but I want those risks to be as few and unlikely as possible." Duo said. He didn't always talk like he didn't know what he was talking about. He could talk businesslike when he wanted his point across fast and no guff from any stupid secretaries like her.
Pam made a call on the phone in her 'office'. People came and took Heero away to the X-ray clinic to get some cat-scans, then to the operating room to immediately undergo brain surgery. Duo was in the waiting room, impatiently waiting while busying himself with forms.
Hours passed and more hours passed as the delicate procedure took place to save Heero's life and get that chip out of his brain. Finally a doctor came in to see Duo. "Are you the one that brought Heero Yuy in?" The doctor asked. Duo immediately stood up. "Yes! Is he okay?! What took so long?!" Duo asked. "He's fine. The surgery went as planned and he's still asleep. There is still a chance that he wont wake up. I know this is a hard thing to face, but we have to wait and see. He should wake up within the next twenty-four hours. If he's not awake by then, he's in a coma as long as he's still alive. We'll see what happens from there. The surgery went fine, we got the chip out of his brain and it is in the lab now, and our poison specialists are looking at it now, trying to find a safe way to destroy it without spreading the poison to anyone or anything. You can go see him now in room 160 down the hall and to the right." The doctor said. "Thank you." Duo muttered
Duo walked down the hall to room 160. He opened the door and quietly slipped inside. 'Good, no one else in here. That means Heero has the room to himself. Which means no one to bother me while I wait for Heero to wake up.' Duo thought. He pulled up a chair and sat next to Heero and took his hand. "Come on Heero, I know you. You'll wake up. Just make it soon. Please. Without you, I'm lost." Duo said, then brought Heero's hand to his lips and kissed Heero's knuckles lightly. There was a line on Heero's head, no thicker than a thin scar, where they made the incision into Heero's head. At least they didn't have to shave part of his hair off to make the incision with all the technology they had now. Duo knew Heero would freak out at that. He didn't take care of his hair like Duo did his, but he knew that he wouldn't be happy if half of his head was shaved bald. Duo wouldn't care though. He didn't love Heero for his hair. He loved Heero for Heero. His hair didn't matter to Duo. But, Duo knew Heero felt the same for him and that wouldn't stop Duo from being upset if that happened to his hair.
Duo felt Heero's hand squeeze his. He looked over to Heero, but he was still asleep. Heero looked as if he were having a nightmare, but Duo thought that when someone was in this state, they didn't have dreams. Well, it didn't matter, Heero seemed to be having one, anyway. Duo couldn't help it. He had to hold Heero. Heero was obviously in emotional pain because of that nightmare, because of the way his face looked. He looked so sad, even if he was asleep. He scooted his chair closer to Heero and lifted Heero into an embrace. He ran on hand over Heero's hair, in an attempt to sooth him, while the other supported his back, while he rested his chin on Heero's shoulder and Heero was positioned the same, but since he was, in a sense, sleeping his arms were to his side. Suddenly Duo felt something wet drip to his shoulder. He moved to look at Heero and tears were cascading down his cheeks from under his closed eyelids. "Awww, Heero. What's in that nightmare that I don't know about, huh? You've been having nightmares for so long, now. I don't know how many times I've held you because of it. I just wish you'd tell me." Duo whispered in Heero's ear. Duo turned his head and gave Heero a light kiss on the cheek. "Wake up soon, sweetie." Duo said, then he resumed holding Heero. He remembered hearing that rocking someone when they were upset was supposed to be soothing and he'd seen mothers do it to their sons and daughters when they got upset. He hoped that it might work for Heero, so he decided to rock him gently. "I'm here Heero, you don't have to afraid. You're not alone as long as I'm here and I'm not going anywhere, I promise." Duo said. He continued to whispering to Heero and Heero calmed down. After a while the nightmare seemed to stop, but on the off chance that it was only because Heero knew Duo was there, Duo never stopped. Not for many hours.
Finally, he was convinced enough that Heero was peacefully sleeping, he let Heero back down on the hospital bed gently and let his head rest on Heero's stomach. Duo quickly fell asleep.
Duo found it easier to find sleep if he were as close to Heero as possible. So, at the very least, resting his head on his stomach while he was in that coma, did him some good and let him sleep some.
One night, Duo felt something gently rub against his cheek. His head shot up and his eyes snapped open. What he saw made tears stream down his face. "Heero! Your awake!" Duo yelled, practically jumping on him to hug him. Heero slowly brought his hands up to hug Duo back. Duo buried his face in the side of Heero's neck and let himself cry. He could have lost Heero. He'd been out for a long time and the doctors had already started to pressure him to let him go. Duo had refused as long as Heero wasn't in any physical pain or suffering and he was still alive, then Duo had faith that Heero would pull through. "Duo, where am I?" Heero asked. "Your in the hospital. I had to get someone to get that chip outta your head." Duo sobbed. Heero ran his hand through Duo's hair, soothingly, without disturbing the braid. "Shhh, shhh, shhh. Don't cry. I'm alright. I was just taking a....really long nap. How long've I been out?" Heero asked. Duo let out a strangled laugh at Heero's small joke, through his sobs of happiness and relief and answered, "A whole month."
Author's note: Well, now that Heero's awake, will he be admitted out and regardless, will he be able to have a normal life now? Find out in the next part!!! Mail me at, traci1985babe@hotmail.com
