Warnings: Eee… we're not getting to bad yet…. A hint of shounen ai, noting bad. OOC Heero, moody Duo.

Ramblings: Thank you so much for putting up with me!! You requested longer chapters so here we go!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these people! Please don't sue me, I have no money!

"Duo, wake up." Duo felt two hands grip his shoulders as the shook him. "Duo, Duo!" The voice said in a flat monotone. Duo's violet eyes fluttered open and focused and none-other then Mr. Perfect. "Heero…" Duo said in barely a whisper. "Duo, what happened to you?" Duo jumped up and immediately felt that what he did was a bad idea. The blood rushed to his head, his knees shook, and he dropped. Luckily Heero was behind him, and saved him from the cold hardwood floor. "Thanks Heero."

"Duo,"

"So what brings you here anyway?"

"Duo,"

"I mean I wasn't supposed to see any of you until… like next week."

"Duo,"

"You didn't have to go out of your way to get here, y'know."

//That's it, I want answers now// Heero thought when he put his left hand over Duo's mouth. "Duo, I have questions, and you have the answers, and I want those answers NOW! Are you willing to give me those answers?" Heero turned his death glare onto Duo. Duo nodded vigorously. Heero removed his hand from Duo's mouth. "How about we talk about it over coffee Heero?" Heero nodded in approval, and made their way into the kitchen.

"Quatre are you okay?"

"Yea, Trowa I'm fine… that meeting, was murder." The blond put a nearby pillow over his head. "Do you need anything?" Trowa asked in concern. He could see the pillow move silently.

"Can you go into the kitchen and get the migraine pills and a cup of water for me please?" Quatre asked quietly his voice muffled from under the pillow. "Alright Quatre." Trowa closed the blinds blocking out the sun from his angel, it should have been a crime to give such a gentle being such pain.

"Are you sure it's a migraine?" Trowa asked. Quatre peaked out from under his pillow. "Maybe not, it's more like a really bad head ache." Trowa raised an eyebrow and sat on the bed. "Maybe you're getting sick…?" Quatre's eyes widened. "No way, I can't get sick right now Trowa, everybody is coming next week!"

"What hurts?"

" After I got into the meeting, after a little bit, I felt some pain in my chest, then just a little while again, I could I got dizzy and light headed. I think it's just the heat Trowa, nothing to worry about, really."

Trowa muffled a laugh. "Quatre, it's 72 degrees outside… unless you're used to sub-degree temperatures, and I know for a fact you can put up with the heat better then I can in 110 degree and up weather."

"Trowa?"

"Hmm Quatre?"

"You talk to much."

//Now, I'll get the answers that I want…// Heero thought as Duo sat down at the table after he poured Heero a cup of coffee, and himself a cup of milk. "Do you not like coffee?" Heero questioned. "Nope, I can't stand the stuff. "

"Then why do you have it?"

"For company of course! I gotta be prepared y'know!" Duo grinned. Heero wasn't buying it. "Alright, Heero, what are you doing here?" Heero blinked. "There has to be a reason?"

"Yes. I want to know honestly."

"…"

"Heero, spill it."

"It's quiet…." Duo gave Heero a dumbfounded look. "Huh?" //What's that supposed to mean? Last I saw you, you had a heart- attack every time I bugged you even a little bit… ehehe… good choice of words there…//

"Alright what else?"

"I don't trust you not to get in trouble somehow on your way to L4…." Duo put a hand dramatically over his heart. "Oh Heero, my Heero! I didn't know you cared so much about me!!"

"I do."

"Wha…?"

"I care about you a lot Duo." Duo shook his head. //Whoa whoa, what am I hearing? I think I'm finally losing it here. Brain to Duo, we have lost connection.// Duo couldn't hide the shock on his face one bit. "Is it surprising that I care about you?" Duo nodded dumbly. "Why?"

"That's a retard question Heero!" Right then and there, Duo lost it. "I mean really, during the war, I'd barely say a word to you and you'd trip out! Okay well, you wouldn't trip, but you always completely ignore me! Not to mention that one time you actually broke my damned nose!" Duo took a sharp breathe in along with a swig of Milk. He coughed violently.

Heero jumped immediately out of his chair. "Duo? Are you okay?!" Heero put his hand on Duo's back. "I'm fine, I'm fine! Milk went down the wrong tube is all. Really, Heero, you don't need to trip. Let's cut to the chase Heero, what do you want to know?"

"I'm came here to check on you, I knocked on the door, and I heard you yell, ran in, and you had passed out."

//I yelled? I don't remember that. How could I yell? I could barely breathe for crying out loud, alright what's going on? There's no way in hell I could have yelled and had Heero heard me… maybe I need a second opinion on this…//

"Duo, what's wrong with you?" Duo sighed in defeat. "Alright Heero sit down…" Duo turned around and gathered his nervs together. "Alright Heero… it's like this…."

"UGHHH!!!! BAKA ONNA!" Wufei yelled with his sound system turned up on full blast in his jaguar on the way home from work. "How could she? Who the hell does she think she is?!" Wufei looked up at a picture of Sally on his key chain. "KISAMA!!!" Needless to say, Wufei grumbled on like this until he got home.

Wufei turned the key to his apartment and the door creeked open softly. The phone was ringing the tune to "Enter the sandman" by Metallica. Wufei put down his things and pick it up quickly. "Hello?"

"Wufei, it's Heero…"

"Hello Heero, what do you need, do you want me to bring something next week?"

"Yea, in fact I do…."

"Alright what?"

"Sally is a doctor is she not…?"

"Yes, she is… what's wrong with you Heero?"

"It's not for me, it's for Duo…"

"What?"

"He's in the bathroom down the hall right now, so I'm sure he can't hear me.. but.. Wufei, I think Duo is dying… and he won't give me any straight answers.."

Little did Heero know, but Duo was standing behind the door to the kitchen listening quietly. //My secret is out… oh god Heero…how could you…?// Duo Maxwell sunk down to his knees… and cried…

TBC

Yay a longer chapter! Don't hurt me!!
