Disclaimers: I DO NOT OWN GUNDAM WING OR ITS CHARACTERS.
Author's Note: I know I'm right in the middle of other fics but I can't stay on track. I get all these ideas and I must do something with them. This story starts in the middle of a mission; it will be described later in the story. That's all really. This will not be as long as World of Wonders and Horrors, but it is a multi-chapter story about Duo falling in love with Heero. It's R for violence at the moment but it will become NC-17 later...just like everything else I write (besides poetry ^.^) Now…on with the story!
~~~~~~~~~
Their hearts were throbbing, racing in time with them as they sped out the building, hoping it wouldn't detonate with them still in there. It was almost an impossible task with those men chasing after them and trying to torpedo them down. Duo was ahead of Heero, since Heero had taken it upon himself to try to shoot down the guards and OZ soldiers as well as escape with a mission well completed. Duo was almost out of the building when he heard Heero let out a loud growl of pain.
"Heero!" yelled Duo in fear of Heero being badly injured. He didn't stop though, knowing that if he slowed down it would mean risking his own life, something he had come to value these days after seeing so many lives wasted. Heero also did not stop; the wound was obviously not that serious or fatal. But again Duo heard Heero howl in pain. He turn to see Heero had been shot in his back somewhere since he couldn't see the bullet entrance. He knew that blow could cost Heero his life. At that moment, Duo was safely out the military base, while Heero was still inside. As he looked in to see if Heero would make it, he noticed Heero was having a hard time running and was beginning to fall down like the blood trickling down his arms and back. Duo thought of dodging in the save Heero, but he knew it was too late. His faithful wristwatch had just signaled the explosion had begun and it would only take but a mere second to reach the injured Heero and the desperate Duo. Duo fell down to the ground and covered his head with his hands for protection as the ball of fire blew out from within the building and dust became visible as it mixed with the eye-burning smoke.
After the dust settled and there was no sign of danger left, Duo quickly pushed himself up off the dirty ground and dashed off to see if Heero was alive. Once he arrived at the entrance of the ruins, he saw a bruised hand reaching out from underneath the piles of rubble.
"Heero! Please be alive!" Screamed the panicking Duo as he lifted the pieces of fallen construction off of the limp body he swore belonged to Heero.
In no time it seemed that Duo had freed Heero of the massive blocks of rock and metal and had pulled him out to safety in the clearing.
"Heero! Say something, please! I beg you." Duo laid Heero in his lap and felt around for his pulse. He was still alive, but hardly. His pulse was getting weaker, he knew he must get help right away. Duo reached around through his disordered clothes and pockets and found his cell phone and immediately called for help.
"Quarte! I need help! Heero's hurt badly! You must come quickly, or it could mean losing his life!" Quarte knew their location and had prepared for this sort of event and was on his way. Duo tossed the phone away and pulled Heero up into a tender embrace.
"Oh Heero, you can't die! I didn't have the chance to tell you that I…I love you!" wept Duo onto Heero's torn and ripped shirt. He clutched Heero's hand with the last bit of strength he had and prayed that Heero would survive this. Heero began to move a bit and weakly held on to Duo's hand. Duo, who had not expected Heero to still be conscious, was shocked to feel Heero return his actions. Duo meet Heero's eyes with his own tear filled ones and said, "Heero…please pull through." Heero barley managed a smile and gave a non-audible response to Duo and then fell into the darkness unconsciousness, relieving him of his physical pains for a while.
"HEEROOOOOO!" screamed Duo at the top of his lungs while he tried to shake Heero back into consciousness, but alas, he failed. Duo released Heero's paralyzed hand and pushed the heavy body off of himself, then laid down on the ground to look up at the stars, watching for Quarte and save his love.
"Just when I had truly found you…"

Well, I guess you can pretty much guess what the next chapter will be like, right? Muwhahaha, you don't know me very well do you?
Duo: Well we do know that you're a sucker for happy endings.
Bethy-Chan: But I'm full of surprises!
Duo: *gasp* You wouldn't!
Bethy-Chan: You'll have to read and find out….
