Duo sat in his room, and waited. Unshed tears waited to be shed. For on
this day Duo Maxwell had lost everything. Suddenly footsteps could be
heard from the hallway, Duo sallowed hard, taking his braid in his
hands. He slowly closed his eyes and waited. Waited for the end of the
world as he knew it.
The bedroom door opened and a figure stepped in, yet only staying at the
doorway. Then a whisper followed...
"Duo?"
Duo let his head lower just a bit, but answered......
"Yes?"
"We need to talk."
Duo felt himself tighten his hold on his braid, almost pulling it. But
it didn't matter, nothing mattered now.
"I know."
"I have.... have been seeing someone else."
Duo forced himself to breath, to think clearly. Try not to show any
hurt.
"I know"
"I think I am in love with them."
Tears builded up in Duo's closed eyes, but he would not open them. Would
not let him see his pain, his tears that he had caused. Instead the hold
on the braid tightened to where it was painful.
"I saw."
A pause.......
"I never mean to let it go this far, you and I . I mean."
Duo's throat caught, his heart broke.
" I know."
Moments ticked by and then the voice said.
"I have to go, he is expecting me soon."
Barely choking out.......
"Then don't keep him waiting."
The other turned to leave and suddenly he paused, Duo detected the
movement and hope flicker down deep inside his soul, Only to be dampened
on......
"I hope you find someone like him someday. Someone that can love you,
like you should be loved."
With that he left, never pausing again. Leaving Duo to whisper his
name.......
"Heero?"
But only the darkness greeted him. Only then did "Death" shed his tears.
His tears for the man he would never hold again, the one he would never
make love anymore. Duo Maxwell, was totally lost in his own misery.
Curling up into a ball, rocking his body back and to. Damning the man
that had stolen "his" Heero away........
"I hate you Treize Khushrenada."
Time went by and Duo continued to cry, Hating the commander of OZ,
hating Herro, but mostly hating himself. Hating himself for not doing
something differently. Something that would have made Herro love him. So
lost in his thoughts, his tears, Duo never notice's a figure enter the
room, until a hand comes to rest on his shoulder. And a voice
whispering.............
"It's okay, I know you are hurting but it will past. in time. It's got
to"
The words angered Duo, he sat up and turned to come face to face with a
pair of wet, sad brown eyes. Eyes that matched his own. Instantly Duo
knew.......
Suddenly his pain wasn't every important to him anymore, simply cause
this one's pain out weighted his own. Putting on a sad smile Duo moved
to put his arms around the other man, letting him fall onto him as the
other sobbed and cried for his lost love. Duo held him until neither one
could shed anymore tears, and both slept peacefully.
Yet from the doorway two figures watched in surprise, yet knowing that
something special had began with their two friends....
"Why do you think Wufei went to Duo?"
"I am not sure, I think maybe it was Duo's tears, or maybe Duo was drawn
to Wufei's tears?"
"But we heard Duo crying before Wufei got home."
"Then maybe it was Duo's tears that brought them together? Who knows?
And who cares?"
"I think your right, Trowa, I do believe there is something about Duo's
tears that tares at the soul."
"Then who are we to question it?"
Both figures watched as the last tears fell from Duo's cheek.
