Dreams-Part II
By J. Starfire
It must have been the beauty of nature that drew him back to the Earth. He had thought that he would have never returned to the Earth unless he had to. He had thought that he loved the colonies so much more. The colonies where he had grown up and had called home. Now, his home was a small apartment in a city on the east coast of the United States. It was a pleasant place not far from the shore. Sometimes at night he would venture out to the shore and find a high cliff overhanging the sea. He would lie there and spend the night gazing out into the stars and marveling at the beauty of the moon's reflection on the tossing waves. Some nights he would glimpse a large, dark shape leap out of the water and hit the surface with a splash its tail disappearing after it.
It was on these nights that his thoughts were most possessed by what had been tugging at his heart every day. The hope that he so clung to that someday he would find the one he loved, the one who he dreamed about every night. The beautiful, determined, cobalt eyes. The slender, smooth, perfect body. The musky odor that always lingered about him. All of the memories flooded back bringing tears to his eyes and an aching to his heart. If only he knew where he was… if only… if only…
Tonight, as he lay on the rocky shore, the memories of all the times he had spent with Heero once again brought tears to his eyes. As he relived every moment, he began to become angry with himself.
"Oh, why didn't he do something about it instead of just sitting here dreaming!? What was he thinking all this time!?" He sat up abruptly and flicked his braid off his shoulder. His eyes glittered with anger and irritation but they soon softened as he sank back onto his elbows. "But… where would he look? There were so many places… he could be on Earth in the colonies… just millions of places where he could be. But Heero was his joy, happiness, what drove him on every day, why he woke and why he slept, why he could remain his smiley, cheerful self, why his heart was still beating. Heero had just gotten to be too important to just be given up as lost. He would find him no matter what." he decided, "He just couldn't live like this anymore. It was slowly killing him, slowly torturing him, slowly destroying him. Yes… he was going to find Heero no matter what obstacles he must go through." It was beginning to get light so he pulled himself to his feet and headed back to his apartment.
There, Duo began to pack his belongings. He stood back and surveyed the tangled mess on the bed, dresser, furniture, and floor.
"Let's see… What will I need now?" He dug through the mess dumping all of the clothes he could find on the floor. He then squatted down beside the pile that had formed and went through them one by one. "Hmmm… my red zip-up turtleneck, my extra black outfit, another extra, blue jeans, a t-shirt, another t-shirt, my navy jacket…" He ended up dumping all of them into the enormous suitcase he had dragged out. He went through the entire apartment and squashed the rest of his belongings into what space was left.
He lugged the bulging suitcase down to the garage and heaved it into the small rental car he was currently using. He climbed into the driver's seat and started up the car.
"Time to pick up my gundam, I guess. Don't want to leave it behind!" Then he sped down the road driving 20 mph over the speed limit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heero lay quietly in his bed in the bare yet comfortable apartment he had rented in the L2 colony. Here he felt at home, though, it wasn't his home. He hadn't come from the L2 colony... come to think of it... L2 was Duo's colony. That reminded him of that day... that one evening when he had heard Duo's voice. He could hear it as though it was just yesterday. His voice had said something about loving someone and being lonely. Something sad and depressing, much unlike the Duo he knew. The cheerful, ever-smiley Duo. As he lay thinking, he wondered who it was he was addressing and... why he could hear it. Was he hearing things? He had thought so but now he wasn't so sure. It was just too clear and too... real. Yet... it was impossible. As these thoughts ran through his mind, he slowly drifted off to sleep.
All was dark and all was silent. Heero looked around puzzled yet unafraid. Where was he? Then in the distance he saw a light. He made his way towards it his steps resounding throughout the emptiness. As he drew closer he saw that the light shone through a doorway. He covered his eyes with one arm and reaching the doorway... stepped through into the blinding white light.
Hesitantly he lowered his arm and found himself... sitting in the front seat of a car!?
"WHAT THE...." he called out in surprise. He jumped up banging his head against the roof of the car. He collapsed back into the seat and sighed recovering from the shock. If he thought that was going to be the worst shock of his life... he was greatly mistaken. The car was moving, so he turned towards the driver's seat and saw... Duo!!!!!
"YAH!! AAA-" he collapsed in his seat in a convulsive coughing fit. He had evidently choked on his saliva. When he had regained some control he turned eyes wide and breath coming fast and saw that it was in fact Duo.
"Duo... is that really you?" Heero inquired tentatively. There was no response, no reaction. Duo continued driving unhearing, unseeing.
"Duo!" Once again, no response. Heero reached over and put his hand on his shoulder. Duo suddenly gasped and the car swerved wildly throwing Heero into the side of the car. He frantically tried to regain control of the spinning car jerking the wheel every which way and jamming his foot onto the brakes. The car finally stopped, plunging into a ditch on the side of the road. Duo, breathing hard, opened the door and crawled out. As he stood on the grass, his trembling hand went to his shoulder where Heero had touched him. His eyes were wide and unbelieving staring blankly in shock. Then Heero opened the door and climbed out. Duo, seeing the door open on its own, jumped back and cried out.
"WHO ARE YOU?! WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME?!" Heero made his way up to him and grabbed hold of his shoulders. Duo struggled against his hold but his grip remained firm. Keeping one hand firmly on a shoulder, he pressed his fingers to Duo's lips. Duo gasped and ceased his struggling. Heero gently ran his fingers down his neck and made his way to the tight braid that rested upon his back. He let go of his shoulder and reached around him and gently untied the end of the braid letting the chestnut hair fan out upon his shoulders. His hands then gently settled on the sides of Duo's face and he drew it closer to his. At the moment in which his lips gently brushed Duo's... an insistent buzzing filled his ears. He drew back and moved away from Duo seeing the surroundings waver and blur. The buzzing grew louder and louder as the grass, road, car, and Duo slowly faded away.
Heero sat up sweating and turned off his buzzing alarm clock. His entire body shook with fear. He had never been so afraid, so confused. In that dream, he had... lost control. He couldn't understand his actions or the emotions he had felt. Why had he untied Duo's braid, been so gentle, why had he come so close to kissing him? He simply didn't understand. Bewildered he climbed out of bed and made his way to the bathroom and a hot shower. He was confused as to his actions and emotions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duo stood, chestnut strands spread upon his shoulders, staring blankly in shock. That touch, that musky odor. It must have been Heero. Duo knew it was. It was the same touch, same feeling as it had been in his dreams. Yet, it was impossible. Then his knees buckled and he fell face flat on the grass, unconscious.
