Duo woke up an hour later to Heero having another nightmare. "Heero, Heero, wake up!" Duo said, trying to shake Heero awake. It didn't work. Heero was even crying in his sleep. There didn't seem to be anything that Duo could do. He tried several times to shake Heero awake, but it didn't work. Duo, finally, just held Heero. He sat up and got Heero into a sitting position and held him that way, rubbing his back in small soothing circles, hoping that the nightmare would pass quickly. He didn't know why the nightmares were still there. He went over and over it in his mind, but couldn't figure it out. Finally, Duo was so frustrated and worried for his koi, that he, too, started to cry. He wouldn't do that in front of anyone else, but Heero, though, Heero was asleep, at the moment. He was scared for Heero. Heero had to get rid of these nightmares. They were, basically, ruling his life. Heero would try to stay up so late that he wouldn't be able to dream and then he wouldn't get enough sleep and be exhausted all day.
Suddenly, Heero started to thrash around in his sleep and yelling, while crying. Duo tried to keep Heero's hands still. Finally he caught them and stopped them from flailing. "Heero! Wake up!" Duo yelled, giving Heero a good shake, using his hold on Heero's wrists. Heero woke up, but at first, nothing seemed to register and he didn't seem to know where he was. His eyes finally calmed and focused and looked around the room, then settled on Duo. "Heero, are you alright?" Duo asked, worried. Heero didn't say anything, but nodded. Heero was soaked with sweat and seemed exhausted. "I don't understand why your nightmares haven't gone away. It's been so long and you talked about them and even cried last night. I just don't.....wait." Duo said, thinking about something. One of Heero's nightmares. About that little girl with her dog, that he accidentally killed by that miscalculated explosion. This just might be it. "Heero, have you let what happened to that little girl and her dog, go?" Duo asked, quietly. Heero's eyes went to an interesting spot on the bed sheets. "Heero." Duo said, lifting Heero's face, to meet his. "You haven't let that go, yet, have you? Is that what your nightmare was about?" Duo asked. Heero nodded solemnly.
"Heero, that wasn't your fault." Duo said. "Yes, it was, Duo, I killed her! I killed her and her dog!! That miscalculation was all my fault!" Heero said, not really yelling, but his voice did rise. "Heero, listen to me. Dr. J sent you on that mission for training. It was an error made in training. You may have done it, but it was an accident. It couldn't have been prevented. You didn't know it would happen." Duo said. "But, I still did it. It was my fault she died." Heero said. "Heero, did you mean to kill her? Did you mean for that mobile suit to fall on her apartment complex?" Duo asked. Heero's eyes widened and he shook his head. "No, no, of course not." Heero said, still shaking his head. "Then, it was an accident. Heero, if you could have avoided it, I know you would have, but you couldn't. You didn't know about the miscalculation, until it had already happened." Duo said. Heero bowed his head. "Do you understand that it wasn't your fault, now?" Duo asked, quietly. Heero nodded his head.
Duo lifted Heero's head again and made him look him in the eyes. "Do you really mean that?" Duo asked, looking Heero in the eyes. Heero nodded again. "Yes." Heero said. Duo smiled. "Good. Now, I think the nightmares will go away." Duo said. Heero looked at Duo again. "Hold me?" Heero asked. Duo smiled and did as Heero had asked him. Heero started crying again. Hopefully, this would be the last time he would have to cry about something like this or anything, for that matter. Unless, he was overwhelmed with happiness. Which, usually didn't make Heero cry.
Duo held Heero until they fell asleep.
The next morning Duo got up earlier to go make breakfast. There was a reason for this. He wanted to ask Heero a question. It was very important. He wanted to visit the states. California to be exact. He had 'plans', there. He, usually, got up later to find breakfast waiting for HIM, but today was different. He knew he didn't need to butter Heero up, to ask him for something. Usually, if Duo just mentioned something, he'd find out that Heero went out and bought it for him. So, he had to be careful what he said, or they'd be out of money. It wasn't that Heero thought that he had to buy Duo everything, to keep him, but it was that Heero wanted to make Duo happy and if he wanted something, he'd get it. Duo was pretty much the same way with Heero, but Heero knew when to be quiet. Duo liked to talk. He just couldn't resist telling Heero everything that happened since he was separated from Heero. Heero did the same, but he was more blunt and to the point, though not like he usually was, before they knew each other very well.
Heero came down stairs and found Duo sitting at the table, two breakfast plates sitting across from each other, surprisingly, neither having anything eaten off of them. Duo had a cheerful smile on his face. He wasn't usually up this early. "What are you doing up this early?" Heero asked, sitting down. He was ready to go out and see if he could get their jobs back. He wore jeans and a red short sleeved T-shirt. They worked as mechanics, he didn't need a suit to go to a garage. Unless it was that blue uniform they were made to wear. He had tennis shoes on as well and white socks. His hair had always been too unruly to stay in any sort of style for very long. More like five minutes tops. So, it was as it usually was. Only, Duo could see that Heero had tried to fix it, because he knew what that looked like. He knew what it looked like when Heero had tried to come it into looking halfway decent and it had gone back to its unruly style, whether Heero had wanted it to or not. It looked slightly different.
"I wanted to make you breakfast." Duo said. "Okay, Duo, you don't usually get up this early just to make me breakfast. What do you want?" Heero asked. Duo grinned. "What makes you think I want something?" Duo asked. "If you don't want anything, then I would like to know what you broke. Do we have to go to court?" Heero asked, starting to grin. "No." Duo said, smiling and laughing some. "Then what do you want?" Heero asked, grinning. Heero'd been doing that a lot, since the wars ended. Duo loved every moment of it. It used to be that Heero wouldn't even crack a smile unless he was killing some Oz trash. Now, it was a pretty regular thing. In return to Heero's grin, Duo's got wider. "Okay, I'll tell ya. I was thinking that we should go to the states." Duo said. "The states? As in the United States?" Heero asked. Duo gave him a look that said, 'what do you think?'. Heero smiled. "Okay, okay. We'll go to the states. Where at?" Heero asked. "I was thinking, California." Duo said, eyes hopeful. "Well..." Heero said, trying to drag it out. It was his turn to be annoying, getting back for some of what Duo did in the fight against Oz, though Heero had to admit he enjoyed it. "We don't have to, if you don't want to." Duo said, his eyes saddening a bit. Heero had a feeling that Duo knew that that look got him every time. "Alright, we'll go to California." Heero said. Duo started grinning. "I knew you'd say, yes!" Duo yelled, going around the table and giving Heero a kiss. "Duo, you don't have to butter me up, you could have just asked me and I'd say yes. You know that anything you want is yours." Heero said. "Yeah, I know, but where would the fun in that be?" Duo asked, innocently.
After breakfast, Heero went out to see about getting their jobs back. He wasn't too sure. He couldn't tell the truth, but he didn't want to lie, either. He knew how Duo felt about lying and if he found out that Heero had all out lied to get the job back, he didn't know if Duo would take the job, back.
Duo set to work making plans. He called around in California and reserved a few things, arranged a few things and called Quatre and asked if he could come and bring Trowa and Wufei. They had to take separate planes and not to tell Heero. He made sure that they would be no where near Heero until Duo was ready for Heero to know what was going on. Duo planned to be in California for at least two months, giving him plenty of time to get everything ready and just right. Then he called the best jewelry store in California and had something made.
Author's note: Well, well, well, what's Duo planning?? Hmmm, why's he need the rest of the G-boys?? Can Heero get their job back?? What's he gonna say to the boss?! This is a little different from the way I had originally planned it, because I had to completely rewrite it, but I remember what I wanted to get done and the only real differences aren't very significant. I hope you liked it and thank you to SkyLark. Just so that I don't give anything away, I wont say for what in this part, but I will in the next part and in the sequel if I decide to do it, instead of just making this fic longer.
