Tears fell freely from the violet eyes. He couldn't prevent the waterfall that was overflowing with such intensity. The only thing he could think of was one word: "Why?" Why did it happen? Why did his koi leave him?

"What's wrong with me?" the violet-eyed boy asked. "What did I do wrong? All I've ever done is lay my life down for him and make him happy. What didn't I do?"

Duo Maxwell looked up his eyes catching on a picture of him and Heero Yuy, his one and only, the love of his life. It made him sick to look at the two of them holding each other, so happy and light hearted when all Duo felt now was empty and unloved. Heero had left him and he had no answer as to why.

Duo frowned and knocked the picture off his dresser with such force, he was amazed the glass didn't crack. "Bastard!" he whispered. "You dirty bastard! How could you leave me."

Had he been a fool the entire time? Had Heero just played him for "sex" and a little "action"? "You stupid mother fucker," Duo cried to the picture. "Why did you do it? What was it? Did you get all you were looking for or was I to boring? What was it?" He stamped his foot on the picture frame, shattering the glass, when the picture didn't answer him.

A part of him said he was being childish for thinking this way. A picture is going to tell you why your Heero left, he voice coerced him. This isn't like you Duo. Snap out of it!

But he couldn't. No matter how hard he tried to take a deep breath, stand up straight and get his head straight, the tears resurfaced and spilled over yet again. Heero didn't love him. If he did, he wouldn't have just left like he had.

"I've been a fool all along," Duo whimpered. "He never cared. He never meant it when he said he loved me. He didn't love me. He doesn't love me!" He sobbed into his hands.

But you love him, the voice said. That's why you are hurting and your heart is tearing itself apart.

"Bastard," Duo whispered again. "Why Heero? Why did you do it to me?"

His thoughts circled around each other again and again. He couldn't stand this. It was driving him fucking insane. How in the bloody hell had this turned upside down him? What had happened?

"Ah! DAMMIT!" Duo screamed out. The door to the bedroom creaked. Duo's head immediately shot up. His blood stopped, his face turned ghost white. Duo opened his mouth to speak, but his voice utterly failed him.

"Don't speak Duo. I need to talk," Heero said sitting down on the bed that held so many good and sweet memories for them both. "I need to apologize for what I did. It wasn't right of me to just walk out on you like that yesterday."

Duo stared. Had it only been that long? God, it had seemed like an eternity.

"I won't ask for your forgiveness, because I'm sure you won't give it, but I love you Duo and..." Heero fumbled. Duo looked into his Prussian eyes. Were those tears he saw? Duo couldn't stand it. He jumped up and ran to Heero's open arms.

"I'm just happy you came back to me," Duo cried into Heero's chest. Heero's fingers were gently storking the cinnamon locks.

"You'll forgive me for acting like a jackass then?" Heero questioned.

Duo allowed himself a brief smile. "Heero you weren't acting like a jackass. You were acting like a dirty bastard."

Heero sniffed his nose. "And how many times did I get called that?"

Duo sat up and looked deep into the tear stained eyes of Heero. Heero looked like a weak, vulnerable human when he cried. Duo brushed the tears away. "It doesn't matter now. Just don't ever leave me again Heero."

Heero leaned in and touched their lips together. "I promise."
