Lonely Part 10
"Don't ever say that Duo!" Heero snapped. "It's the truth!" Duo growled back at him. "You don't even know if you can walk and you're already giving up hope." Heero snarled "That's not the Duo I know! You're not a quitter Duo." "I'm not exactly the Duo you knew" he reached up to touch his hair "Things change Heero.people change." "No Duo you never changed.I did. I was a total jerk.I knew how much you loved me but I made a mistake. I loved you Duo but.but I loved Relena as well." The room was silent for a while and both boys looked at each other. "If you don't want to live for me Duo.live for Ryuichi. I'd better go, I'll see you tomorrow night Duo." He bent down and kissed Duo lightly on the forehead. "Bye Heero." Duo whispered. He heard the door click and stared into the darkness. He lay down and began to cry. After what seemed like an eternity he fell asleep. It was hard to get comfortable with all the wires protruding form his body. When he opened his eyes again the room was bright. The door creaked open behind his back.

"Duo it's me Trowa. Heero told me you were awake" He walked over to the bed "How are you feeling this morning?" he asked tentatively. "I hate my life" Duo said softly, his voice wavered and he could feel more tears building up. Trowa sighed. "Things could be much worse Duo.you could be dead" Trowa whispered. "I think I would prefer that." Duo spat bitterly. "Please don't say that Duo.we'd all be lost without you." Trowa said gently stroking Duo's hair. "Is Ryuichi around?" Duo asked quietly. "I think he arrived with Tohma just before I came in.will I send him in?" Duo nodded closing his eyes. Trowa sighed caressing his cheek before he left. 'They all pity me.' Duo thought '.that's all it is' The door creaked open and two people entered. Duo rolled over to look. There was a blonde who looked suspiciously like Quatre; he had a supportive hand on Ryuichi's shoulder. Ryuichi stared at Duo. "Duo" he sobbed. Du held out a hand and Ryuichi ran over embracing his friend. Duo wrapped his arms around Ryuichi's back.

"They say.they say I wont be able to walk Ryu-chan" Duo mumbled tears clouding his vision. Tohma watched with sad eyes. "I don't care" Ryuichi gasped, tears flowing down his cheeks. "I don't care just so long as you're awake, I've missed you so much Duo" "I'll tell the others" Tohma said and left. "I thought I'd never get a chance to tell you how much I love you Duo" Ryuichi said and he pulled back to look at Duo. Duo hiccuped as he tried to suppress a sob. "I don't want to be lonely anymore Ryuichi" he wept. "Then.don't be." Ryuichi said smiling through his tears. He pulled away and gently wiped the tears from Duo's cheeks. "Let me love you." Ryuichi whispered. Duo nodded and wrapped his arms around Ryuichi. Outside the door Trowa sighed in relief. Quatre came over. "Will he be alright?" Quatre asked. "Yes.thanks to Ryuichi" Quatre wrapped his arms around his lovers waist smiling.

"I can't believe how fast he's coming along. It's almost unnatural" the doctor murmured "I wouldn't be at all surprised if he regained full use of his legs.I wouldn't say that to him though. It could get his hopes up only to have them crushed" The others nodded and smiled. "It would be a gradual recovery but that boy heals unnaturally fast, he will be able to go home tomorrow" It was a few days since Duo had woken up and he was much better, in body and mind. Ryuichi stayed with him during the day and Heero visited him at night "Where will he stay?" Trowa asked. "With me of course" Ryuichi said. The others nodded in agreement and Quatre added. "If you need anything just give us a call." Ryuichi nodded and headed for Duo's room. "He'll have to return to work soon.but I'll leave it until Duo's settled" Tohma said with a sigh. "Duo guess what?" Ryuichi asked bouncing into Duo's room, he was back to his old energetic self. "What?" Duo asked. "You get to come home tomorrow!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the next day came Duo was seated in his wheelchair and ready to go. He was thrilled to finally be out of the hospital bed. He sat in the back of the limo with Ryuichi, Tohma and K. He was fully occupied with kissing Ryuichi and Tohma and K were trying to chat. "Could you two cut that out, I'm going to get travel sick!" K complained. Tohma grinned. "At least save it until you get home" he suggested. Ryuichi pouted and pulled away. "You two are no fun" He linked his fingers with Duo's and lay his head on Duo's shoulder to examine Duo's slender fingers. When they got to the apartment K dropped their things inside and waited to see if he was needed. Then he and Tohma left. "Are you hungry Duo?" Ryuichi asked. "Yeah I'm starved.could we order in? I need pizza! That hospital food stinks.Cardboard has more flavour!" Ryuichi grinned and went to order some pizza. When it came Duo dug in savoring every bite.
