Someone knocked on the door, making the ex pilot jump. He headed to the
door and looked through the peep hole. Duo flung open the door to see a
busted up Michael. The red head collapsed into Duo's arms. "Jesus
Michael! what happened?" He exclaimed as he walked Michael into the living
room where he laid him on the couch. "My brother" he replied curtly."
"Why didnt you go to the club then?" "I didnt want to be around those
idiots. They cant see me like this." "Oh, so you came here. Well hold on
and ill get the first aid kit."
Duo disappeared down the hall. Michael let out a sigh and closed his eyes. Duo returned with a white box and started to bandage up Michaels wounds. "So," Duo began, "What does your brother want with you?" "I have no idea. His gang jumped me." "I thought you didnt leave the bar." "I did because Kira is a bastard." "Oh. Um Michael, you have a fractured shoulder. It needs to be put in a sling." "No." "You cant use it or it wont heal straight." "Cant i just let it hang by my side? I dont use my left hand that much anyway. I dont want them to see me like this. And dont you tell them this happened you got it?" Michael said forcefully. "I wont. I guess its ok if you dont use it and let it hang. Why dont you just rest." "No." "Michael. you need to rest." "I dont need anything. Stop acting like a nurse. You wouldnt sit still if you were in my shoes." "Ah you got a point there" Duo looked up at the ceiling and scratched his nose. "So shut the fuck up." Duo helped Michael up to his feet and to the door. He left without uttering a word. "Hes hopeless" Duo said out loud and continued getting ready. He headed out of the apartment to go meet Shadow.
Shadow ran up to him from the street corner. "You look gorgious!" she said and grabbed his braid. "Yea its a big change. It will take some time to get used to. I got my room mate to dye it for me." "You got a room mate?" Shadow looked at him worriedly. "Hes a guy." "Oh." Duo put his arm around her and walked down the street. "Its strange, how our pasts are so similiar." "Well. I dont know what to say." Duo stopped walking, engulfed in his thoughts. "Duo?" Shadow turned to face him, staring up into his cobalt blue eyes. "Your past was very painful, wasnt it?" He nodded his head in reply. "Its also strange, Ive only known you for a day, and i feel like ive known you for an eternity." She put her hands on his cheeks, making him look at her. Shadow threw her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. He returned the embrace, lifting her tiny body up. He kissed her. It is strange, he thought, Here I am, on a street corner kissing some girl ive only known for a day! Shadow broke the kiss. "Lets get out of here" she nodded her head. "Where do you want to go?" "Lets go to that club of yours. Im in the mood to dance!" He smiled at her and pulled her along.
Michael wondered down the streets, still weak from his assult. Katou jumped out in front of him, making him jump back. "Hey wassup my man mika!" he said with a beer in his hand. He smacked Michael's left shoulder, making the shorter one wince in pain. "Hey, is somethin wrong?" Michael growled and punched Katou in the face with his good hand. "Damn drunk." "That wasnt nice" Katou mumbled before passing out. "I know." He walked down the street, having no particular place to go. He didnt want to go to the club because everyone else was there. Shit! its getting dark. I ave nowhere else to go except for the club. I guess ill have to go up to Raphael's apartment or something to avoid everyone else. Hes still probably where we left him.
Michael grumbled as it started to rain again. He buttoned up hes coat and headed to the club. A security officer letting people in stopped him. "Hey kid let me see some Id" he asked. His gut stuck out tremendiously. "I live here" Michael growled. "Let me see your Id kid." A group of teens tried to push their way into the club, giving Michael the chance to run past him through the doors. He heard the security guard hollar and come after him. Michael rushed into the dancing crowd, blending in easily. He laughed to himself and headed over to the apartment staircase.
"Are you tired yet? Duo asked Shadow, who was dancing. "Nope! why are you?" "Yea." "Lets go sit down then." "Im going to go ahead and leave, is that allright with you?" "Yea its really late right. I have to get home. Meet me same place tomorrow?" "Gotcha, same time." "Allrighty then, see you then." She cupped his chin, kissing him as she walked away. Duo watched her leave before he took off.
Duo walked into his dark apartment, tired and alone. He hated when he was alone. He threw his coat on the couch and turned on some lamps. The past over whelmed him. Tears formed in his eyes. He stumbled into the kitchen, putting his hands on the counter to steady him. A wave of nausea passed over him. Duo's knees went weak, making him fall to the floor. Sister Helen came into his mind. Her kindness and warmth drifted around the small kitchen. Duo grabbed a knife and rolled up his sleeve. He put the knife to his arm, afew inches from the crook of his elbow and pressed down, drawing the knife two inches. He did it again, next to the other one.
Blood spilled onto the white tile floor. Duo stared at it as if paralyed. He threw the knife, hearing it hit the cubbord. "Shit. I gotta clean this up." Duo reached up onto the counter and grabbed a cup towel, wrapping it around his arm. One of the cubbords was half open, Something caught his eye. He reached over and pulled out a bouqet of roses, red and white roses. He pulled out a white one and stared at it. "So pure. Unlike me." Tears fell from his eyes, dropping onto the rose, making it shimmer. Pathetic. So fucking pathetic." He wondered what Sister Helen would do if she saw him this way. He bent over and sobbed.
