Quick Summary
Heero's family held a grunge against Duo's because Duo's grandfather had indirectly caused his grandfather's death.
Heero started to open up to Duo little by little until Relena Peacecraft finally showed her presence, declaring to Duo that she was engaged to Heero.
Milliard/Zechs was injured in a car accident. Though he was saved by Treize (doctor), his guilty over Noin's death made him reach out to Heero, who had just started to sort out everything with Duo……
Chapter 18 Teaser… not done yet.
Treize Krushenada silently strolled out and gently closed the door behind him. He did not know the identity of the Japanese youth but he did realize how deeply Zechs cared for the new comer. For one thing, Treize had never seen Zechs expressed such vulnerable side of himself before his eyes. The once long blonde haired man had always chatted with him with that air of calmness, but the Zechs he saw just moment ago was completely a man in need. Treize could clearly see that Zechs had forgotten his existence in the room completely. All he saw was the Asian youth who seemed to be too shocked to even utter a word.
There really was no place for him in that room.
Treize uncharacteristically leaned his back against the cold hard wall.
That's why he walked away. That's why he left as quietly as if he did not exist at all in the beginning. He never thought it would hurt so much to see that someone held a greater position in Zechs' heart than him. Over the past few days, he must have deluded himself, thinking that he was the center of Zechs' world.
No. That was not correct.
What he should really ponder was how and when did Zechs become so important to him that it hurt to see him express his inner feeling to another human being?
Things like this should not have bothered Treize.
Medicine was always the center of his world. He cared the humanity in general and hence decided to go for the health care career. But the long studies and his experience in real life medical practice had taught him to be objective and not passionate. Treize had learned that in order to do his best for his patient, he could not be too emotionally attached to his patient. Therefore, Treize remembered every one of his patients, not personally, but professionally. With every new patient, Treize had earned another experience and skill for his future ones.
But somehow Zechs broke the cycle. For some reasons, Treize lingered by Zechs' side just a bit longer than his usual patients. Not knowing when or why, Treize had found himself wanting to know more about Zechs each day.
Treize sighed, his hands went up to his head, rubbing his temple.
He had gotten himself into a mass. Treize knew there was a reason why he had remained a single for the longest time.
"Dr. Krushenada. Please pick up line 8. Dr. Krushenada. Please pick up line 8."
The professional side of him took over as Treize stood straight, hearing his name via the intercom. He pushed down his hands into his white overcoat. His blue eyes blink as he cleared his mind.
He remembered he had a late operation scheduled for 6:30pm. Treize glanced at the clock, noting that it was already 6:22pm. They must be paging him for that. Treize walked down the hallway, making way to his office to retrieve the patient's file. He had seen it earlier this morning but Treize believed it was the best for him to review once again before the operation.
Just as Treize was trying to recall the patient's medical history, he bumped into a running girl head on. Slightly disoriented, Treize steadied himself and immediately extended his hand to the fallen girl on the floor. "Are you all right?"
The girl bore a wild look on her face, despite her delicate features. She said nothing as she quickly got up and ran past Treize. Her shoulder length blonde hair flew in the air elegantly.
She had looked familiar to Treize.

Duo was pissed. He had won the competition as he had promised but the damn Japanese youth did not show up. The longhaired boy kicked at the bench furiously, barely registering Odin's presence behind him, whose temper was already shooting through the roof.
"Duo!! Get ready. Dry up and put your jacket on. They are calling your name. You are going to miss the ceremony."
Fuck the ceremony.
Pushed by the coach, Duo could not say his true words but reluctantly slid the crumbled jacket over his head, his mind furiously as he tried to figure out exactly why Heero had broken the promise.
//"Just to see you swim"//
Duo tumbled back out to the swimming pool as Odin practically pushed him onto the platform. He stood lazily, his hands behind his back, resting at his waist. His violet eyes lazily glazed with blankness for his mind was somewhere out there.
Where the fuck was he?
Duo tapped his foot impatiently as he eyes swiped through the cheering crowds.
"…… We are fortunate to have an honorary guest to present the medals to our champions today……."
Duo was starting to get annoyed at the large banner his fans were holding on the bench. The large posters were blocking his view.
"…….. well known for his generosity….….."
Where the fuck was he?
"…. Actively participate to improve the quality of our community ……….."
Duo dug his fingers into his palm. Millions of torturous methods filled his thought as he continued his silent angry search.
"….. we are very honored to have Mr. …….."
Time froze.
Duo looked down from his podium and felt a chill ran through his spin. He no longer heard the crowds cheering. He did not notice the gold medal, which was held out, in front of his face. Instead, he only saw the familiar man standing before him, whose angular face resembled that of Heero's, whose blue eyes surpassed the coldness on the mountaintop.
Duo wished that those eyes did not recognize them.
But the eyes blinked and blinked until miraculously a cloud of confusion surfaced, indicating that the man had finally remembered that he had seen Duo before and that Duo was supposed to be a basketball player and not a swimmer……
"Hi….." Duo forced a grin weakly, knowing there was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide."…. Mr. Yuy….." Duo whispered the words out like a prayer.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
True to his strength in logic and reason, the confusion and shock only last a few minutes as Heero took control of his thoughts again. The Japanese youth assessed the situation objectively and quickly made the decision.
Between Duo and Milliardo, it was clear who needed him the most.
Noin was gone. Milliardo was clearly physically unable to get back onto his own. With his disagreement with his parents, Milliardo was right that he had no one but Heero Yuy himself.
Duo, on the other hand, was capable of going on with his life and taking care of himself without him. He had enough charm in him that he shall never fail to find another's heart.
Comparing to Milliardo, Duo had a much greater probability of being happy without Heero.
That he was sure, knowing the strength of longhaired youth possessed.
But somehow, it hurt deep inside the heart that he never knew existed, the moment he leaned over and planted a light kiss on Milliardo's forehead. The pain grew even larger as he wrapped the vulnerable patient in his arms.
"Stay with me…."
The Japanese youth heard the plead for the third time. He opened his mouth, attempting to say the answer but closed his mouth before any sound was made.
It pained him.
Though he had made up his mind, he found himself hard to speak the word of confirmation.
"Heero….."
The Japanese youth closed his eyes. Images of Duo involuntarily flashed into his mind.
//"Just to see you swim."//
Heero was suddenly aware that he had failed that promise. The realization caused the uneasiness doubled and tripled, dangerously reaching the edge of his limit.
"…. I need to hear you say it….."
Milliardo's words were so weak yet so powerful that Heero could literally feel his heart torn and ripped and….…
"Onii-chan!!"
"Relena......" Heero whispered the name out calmly but in side, away
from the public eyes, his emotion had tipped over the edge and his
sanity was sinking down like a ship overwheled by the raging ocean
waves.
