Why? : Chapter 8

Wufei finally stopped. It was a small clearing around a pond. It wasn't very big, but it was where Wufei always went when he needed to get away or relax.
He collapsed onto the ground and starred up at the stars. He knew he would have to tell the other pilots what had happed, but right now, he just wasn't ready. He turned his head as someone sat down next to him.
"May I join you?" Ling asked.
Wufei nodded. "Sure."
She flopped back so she was looking up at the sky too. "
It doesn't seem right for the stars to be so cheerful. It doesn't fit how I feel."
Wufei sighed. "I know," he said. "I feel...I don't know...like a part of me has been completely destroyed."
Ling nodded and a tear slipped down her cheek. "Yeah, like a part of you died. And you can never get it back again."
Another tear slipped down her cheek, and Wufei was surprised to find tears in his own eyes as well. He sighed.
"I just don't understand why any of this had to happen. And why to me? Or you?"
Ling sighed. "What did we do to deserve it?" she asked quietly, tears filling her eyes.
She was startled when Wufei wrapped his arms around her. They sat there sobbing into each other's shoulders, both trying to comfort the other. They finally stopped crying and just sat there clinging to each other. Somehow, being in each other's embrace was very comforting. They each knew how the other felt. They had both been raped, so they understand how the other felt.
Ling smiled slightly and looked up at Wufei. He smiled back and slowly leaned down, kissing her. A slight brushing of his lips against hers, giving her a chance to pull away if she wanted. He pulled away, but she put her arm behind his neck and pulled him down, kissing him back. They finally pulled apart and Ling smiled up at Wufei.
"Thank you, Wufei. Now I know that I can get through this."
Wufei shook his head. "No, I should be thanking you."
She smiled. "We'll get through this together," she said.
He nodded. "Together." Then he leaned down and kissed her again.

Ling entered the kitchen and saw Trowa sitting in one of the kitchen chairs. He looked exhausted.
"Are you alright?"
He looked up as she spoke. "I'm alright. Just a little worried."
"What happened?" She sounded a little alarmed.
"Heero gave us all a scare. His wound started to bleed and he lost a lot of blood."
"Is he alright now?"
He nodded. "Yeah, he should be fine."
She sighed in relief.
"Is there something you needed?"
She slowly nodded. "Yes. I came to say goodbye."
"You're leaving?"
"Yes. The guerilla forces are planning another attack. I was assigned a new mission."
"Are you gonna be okay?"
She nodded. "Yeah, I'll be okay. And I'll be back. When my mission is over, I'll come back."
She smiled at him. "Thanks for everything."
She walked over and gave him a quick hug. "I'd better say bye to the others."
Trowa watched as she left the room. He wondered where Wufei had gone. He had kept to himself and Trowa was fairly certain he knew what had happened. He knew that with Ling's help, he would be okay. It might take some time, but he would recover. But he was still worried. He was worried about Wufei, about Quatre, and about Heero. He sighed.
He jumped as he felt a hand rest on his shoulder. Turning, he saw Quatre standing behind him.
"Ling left."
Quatre pulled a chair up and sat down in front of Trowa. He took a deep breath. "I've been having nightmares."
Trowa looked up in surprise. "What?"
"Nightmares. That's why I was so afraid when you woke me up. We were in a battle and..." his voice quivered. "And you were killed."
A tear slipped down his cheek. Trowa wiped it away. Quatre took another deep breath.
"And I've been feeling depressed. I didn't know why, but I think I know why now. Just everything. The fighting, the killing, my father's death. It was all starting to take its toll on me. I felt alone. But I know that I'm not alone anymore."
He looked at Trowa and smiled. "I'm never alone as long as you're here with me."
Trowa felt a tear slip down his cheek. He reached over and pulled the blonde into his arms.
"I love you, Quatre."
Quatre smiled and wrapped his arms around Trowa's slender waist. "I know. I love you too."
Trowa smiled down at his blond angel. Quatre smiled back then leaned up and kissed him lightly.
"Aishiteru, Trowa."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero opened his eyes slowly. He turned his head and saw Duo sleeping in a chair beside the bed. The boy looked so peaceful as he slept. Wisps of his long brown hair had fallen out and fell over his face. Heero reached out and gently pushed them away from his face.
The sleeping boy stirred and opened his eyes. "Heero. You're alright?"
Heero nodded.
A tear slipped down Duo's face. "I thought I had lost you." he said as another tear slipped down his cheek.
Heero reached over and wiped the tear away. Duo took his hand in his own.
"Don't ever scare me like that again." he said. "I love you, Heero, and never want to lose you."
Heero stared up at the boy, suprise etched in his features. "But, how can you love me? I didn't think anyone could ever love me."
Duo laughed. "How can I not love you?" He leaned closer to Heero. "You mean everything to me."
Heero's breath caught in his throat. His eyes swept over Duo, memorizing ever feature of the beautiful face. He reached up and pulled Duo closer, kissing him gently.
"I love you too, Duo. I didn't realize it until you went after Wufei. I thought I might lose you and I realized just how important you are too me."
A smile lit Duo's face. His violet eyes sparkled. "Aishiteru, Heero. And I always will."
Heero smiled and pulled Duo down next to him. Duo curled up against Heero's body and sighed contentedly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo yawned and stretched. He felt someone else stir and turned. He found himself starring into a pair of cobalt blue eyes. He smiled.
"I could get used to this." he said.
Heero smiled and pulled him closer. "I love you, Duo."
Duo smiled and snuggled closer to Heero. 'Yep. He could definitely get used to this.'
THE END.
