Duo slowly pushed the heavy door open. Inside the room was dark. It seemed to dark even for his eyes to adjust to. All he saw was a black space. A bright flash suddenly illuminated the room. On the bed Duo's eyes caught the glimpse of a body curled up. 'Is he asleep?' A loud crash of thunder startled him.

"What do you want?" a voice from the darkness asked.

"I wanted to see if you were okay," Duo responded.

"See I'm fine now leave me alone," the voice said dryly.

"Demo you didn't eat and" Duo started worriedly.

"I'm not hungry. Get out!" this time the voice radiated anger and was illuminated by the lighting outside.

"Heero" Duo tried to speak.

"What?" came quickly toward him.

Duo's voice sank, as did his heart, "I'm sorry," The whisper of his words was almost lost in a loud crash. Turning he left, pulling the door closed behind him.

'Did he say he was sorry?' Heero wondered. Rolling over he looked at a closed door. 'I was so mean to him. Who would ever apologize to someone who is being mean to them?' Heero again rolled over to face the large windows watching the bright flashes as they echoed in his dark sad eyes. His arms clutched tightly around something hidden in the darkness. His possessive touch inflicted upon it. Another flash lit the room like a quick burning candle. Looking down his eyes fell upon the object he clutched. A regular sized stuffed brown bear that looked upon you with sad puppy dog eyes. 'It was from Duo. He sent me these gifts. But why?' Heero was unsure of what to do and how to respond to the kind gesture. A crash of thunder caused his arm to involuntarily clutch tighter to the bear. He could feel his eyes droop and sleep over took him.

Duo sat up in his bed. He was greeted by a large crash of thunder. 'It's still storming?' He wondered. Looking outside the windows the normal morning sunlight was gone behind the black clouds and heavy rain. He was relieved his gundam was safe inside Quatre's hanger. All four gundams were there. 'It didn't work, it seems to be getting worse between us. I guess I will try the next thing. I won't get depressed until all my options are used up.' Duo stood up and pulled on a pair of blue jeans. Then slipped a shirt over his head and down around his shoulders. Pulling it straight, a heavy sigh slipped through his lips, 'no I won't be upset!' Walking out of his room he looked down the hall toward Heero's door.

"Duo," a voice called, "You look sad, where is your usual smile?"

Turning Duo looked at Trowa, "Me, no, I'm not sad." Duo put on a large grin.

"Oh" Trowa just looked upon him.

"So where is Quatre?" Duo asked trying to change the subject.

"He is still sleeping," Trowa explained, "he won't be up for another fifteen minutes."

"Isn't he usually the first one up?" Duo asked surprised.

"Yes, but he spent most of the night up worrying about you and Heero. So what is going on between you two?" Trowa asked somewhat critical.

"He shouldn't have," was all Duo could say.

Suddenly a door opened, grabbing both their attentions. Heero stood in his doorway a little paler then usual. In his arms he clutched a brown teddy bear. 'The bear I gave him.' Duo was shocked to see it in Heero's arm. He spoke no words, he just turned and walked down the hall away from them, he stumbled a bit as he went.

"Heero," Duo squeaked. He received no response. He could feel Trowa looking at him. Turning he looked back at Trowa his eyes shaking.

"Duo" Trowa spoke quietly. Duo could feel his eyes moisten. 'No I won't cry! I haven't finished!' Duo yelled at himself. Turning Duo ran down the hall away from everyone. 'I need to calm down.'

Upon entering the hanger he felt a little better then he had earlier. In his arms he carried a box. Setting it down he looked up at the large Wing-Zero. Picking out a couple of things from the box he climbed up to the large shoulders.

Duo reappeared in the house about an hour after he disappeared.

"Hey where have you been?" Quatre asked him.

"No where really," he felt great now, 'this will do it. I know it will'

"Oh. So are you okay now? Trowa told me what happened earlier," Quatre wondered.

"Fine," Duo replied with a goofy grin.

"What did you do?" Quatre asked a bit skeptical.

"Nothing," Duo tried to lie.

"Oh yeah, Heero has become ill he is laid up in bed," Quatre told him.

"What?" Duo's shock more than evident.

"Quatre come here," Trowa called out to him from down the hall.

"Okay," he called back. Turning to Duo, "Go see him." Then he walked away toward Trowa.

"He's sick," Duo's heart sank a bit. He would go see him, 'as soon as I clean up.' Duo hurried to get himself clean. Walking toward Heero's room he thought he heard people talking inside. He pushed the door open to see Quatre and Trowa talk to Heero who was in bed.

"Yes, but I don't know who did it," Trowa was saying. As Duo walked in all three boys looked at him.

"What's going on?" he tried to smile, only he could feel his eyes give away what he was really feeling.

"Hey Duo do you know anything about the Wing-Zero?" Quatre asked him.

"Huh?" he was startled a little.

"Someone fixed the right shoulder machine gun," Quatre explained.

"Oh really, it was probably just Heero and he forgot," Duo tried to shift the conversation.

"I haven't done anything!" Heero said through clenched teeth.

'He's mad, he is mad because I fixed his gundam.' Duo's heart was now in his stomach.

"Ah, I just remembered something I have to do," Duo told them heading for the door.

"Duo!!" came a low growl.

"Yes," he squeaked, turning back around.

"You have something to tell me don't you," the growl continued.

"Me, nothing," his voice peaked. Quickly he rushed to the door and was out it before Quatre and Trowa could even blink. 'It's worse, it is so worse. There is no hope now.' Duo cried to himself dismissing all his other plans.
