Reincarnated - part 8 (end)
I must be dreaming. I stand up and bang my head on the wall. Look at Duo. Bang my head. Look at Duo. Bang my head.
Duo
What's he doing? Trying to render himself retarded?
I get up walking over to him which results in some more bangs on the wall. I suppose he really should he confused. I had been blasted into space by his beam. Even I had been surprised when my gundam survived the direct hit. I had given up for being gone. Heero It was then I decided my life's too short to wait for you. If I ever survived this I would tell you. I walk up to him "I am alive so you don't have to give yourself brain damage." [1]
Heero stopped and stared at me. "How did you get back?"
"What a good question. I had been knocked out when I woke up Howard had found me. I guess I am glad he paced a tracer on me. Explaining things to Heero, something flashed across his eyes. An emotion that was foreign to his face. Relief? A faint fear replaced it and disappeared. "Heero are you okay?" I queried. He bacame emotionless and stood still. Maybe this wasn't a good time to tell him. Did I surprise him? You cant surprise Heero, I reminded myself. Maybe he doesn't want me. Maybe Trowa was wrong.
"Duo I'm glad you're back." Heero finally said. How could Trowa see what I'm missing? Trowa must be imagining things! "I-I've got to tell you something." Did Heero just stutter? I look at him in the eyes. They arent emotionless but seem to be asking for acceptance. I look closer and see a faint ring of puffiness that was familiar to me only once before. The last time Heero had cried.
"Yeah Heero? I've got to tell you something too. But you tell me first."
Sudden uneasiness swept Heero as he staggered slightly. Quelled as quickly as it came Heero blurted, "I love you Duo."
It was now my turn to stagger. I could tell Heero really meant it. As he turned to run from the sheer magnitude of what he just said, I grabbed his arm. Jerking Heero around, I memorized his face in all its many emotions. The surprise, sadness, fear, and resignation all flashed by in a second before I went forward in a kiss. This is my declaration of love to you Heero, my mind whispered. United into one with my heart. At last, it whispered.

[1] I know this is supposed to be serious but I just cant help myself, its so funny thinking about Heero banging his head on the wall!
