Hey! I'm backies… Imma be experimenting on different Point of Views in this
story.. So just read the chapters title or who I tell it is in the chapter!
So here goes.. And sorry for the long wait.
DISCLAIMER: I think its pretty obvious I don't own GW :P
~~~~Quatre P.O.V~~~~
I was worried.
I'm guessing it was pretty clear to the other pilots, due to my nervous look and jittery ways. Trowa kept trying to comfort me.
It was weird. Duo had always been there to cheer me up when I was scared or worried.. And having Trowa do it.. I knew he was my friend and all. But it was strange.
We had combed the woods thoroughly, twice, without stopping or resting. We checked every cave, crevice, tree top.. Any place we could find. No sign of our cheery friend.
Duo could be in the city.
There was plenty of other hiding spots, I knew so.. But the logical place would be to enter the woods.
I guess you can't be logical when you snap like that.
I couldn't understand how it was different this time. And I thought that was stupid of me.
Duo had always been there to cheer us up through thick and thin, no matter how down he was. And most of the time we ignored him, or pushed him away.
I never truly understood how someone could be so happy all the time. It seemed as if nothing could destroy his spirit.
But we had never tried to help him.
I knew only a little of his past, and only that everyone he knew and loved had died. And he must have pushed all his anger and grief down inside and put up a happy exterior just for us.
And we took him for granted.
I found myself unable to sleep the night we came home.
Duo was a friend, someone I could always count on. Ever since I first met him with proper introductions in my friends underground base, I knew we would be great friends together.
I had always been a happy person of course. I didn't have grief locked up inside. But that's because I never experienced pain while growing up.
Duo had.
That's when I realized what truly had happened.
We had been a group for almost a year now. And all of us friends, even though Heero didn't seem to care.
Duo was there with the sense of humor, cheering all of us up every day, no matter how annoying.
And most of the time we had pushed him away.
Now to have a friend, push you away and yell at you.. threaten to kill you.. Punch you. That hurts.
And Duo must have snapped because he couldn't take it any more.
Poor Duo.
I slept restlessly that night, nightmares haunting my sleep. Something about Duo. When I awoke, they faded, leaving me with an empty feeling.
I cooked breakfast, as always, with plenty of coffee. I didn't expect Heero to eat, and which of course he didn't. He just grabbed a cup of black coffee and started typing on his laptop again.
I felt angry at him.
It was stupid of me.. To feel angry at someone like Heero for not seeming to care that his comrade was gone. That was just like him. Each of us were only tools to complete a mission with.
If anyone could change Heero's personality, Duo could.
He would joke and annoy Heero, hang around him a lot. Eventually, his personality might rub off.
But Duo wasn't here.
Breakfast was eaten in silence. Each of us wrapped up in our own thoughts. Once I finished the plain meal, I began the dishes. I felt a hand on my shoulder.
It was Trowa.
"Let me do them. You go see if Heero has found any places Duo might have gone." He mumbled.
I started to insist that I should do the dishes, but he looked as if he needed to feel important. Like he was doing something useful to help me.
Like Duo.
I wasn't obsessed over Duo. But I worried. I worried to much for my own good. I realized I was comparing everything to Duo.
Stupid.
I found Heero in his room, typing away at his laptop as usual. He looked up as I opened his door with a creak.
"Yes?" He asked plain and simple.. I thought I saw a gleam of annoyance in his eyes, but they returned to impassiveness once more.
"Have you found anything yet?"
"No." his answer was plain and simple.
I sighed, and with a nod, ducked out and closed the door behind me. If I was to find Duo, I would have to do it myself.
To me, our group felt incomplete without Duo. He was always our sense of humor. Without him…We seemed dead.
He was almost a brother to me. We weren't as close of friends as he and Heero seemed, as odd as that may sound.. But we were pretty close.
I was walking down the stairs, and managed to bump straight into Wufei, whom was leaving his room. He looked as if he had just been working out.
Sweat glistened over his form, and he was breathing quite hard. An odd emotion seemed to flicker in his deep eyes, but I could not place it.
Muttering my apologies, I moved to make room for him to go first. He didn't move. Instead, he turned his head to look towards me, his stock hard expression no more. He looked almost… sad.. But mostly indifferent.
This was unusual.
"Are you alright?" I found myself asking. Wufei's face flashed back to normal.
"Of course I am. Even more so since that braided baka isn't around to bother me." With that, he stormed down the stairs.
I stood and stared after him, until his form vanished. And only then did I take the time to travel down the stairs.
I found Trowa in a corner, leaning back as always, his eyes closed and his head bowed. I decided not to bother him.
I soon found myself in my room, staring out the solitary window that was cut into the wall. It was still quite early.
My attention drifted to a squirrel in the tree-tops, and I blinked.
A fluffy gray fur ball, it raced back and forth down a branch, grabbing acorns and stuffing them in its mouth.
It them proceeded to lunge into a hole and empty its cheeks, before repeating. I saw it drop an acorn. With wild, scrabbling claws, it skittered down the tree and raced around and about, to find its acorn.
I cracked a smile and watched as it stumbled and did a roll on the ground, before righting itself and grabbing the acorn with a triumphant chatter. The whole scene was comical in my view.
It reminded me of something. Something that I just then placed.
Duo.
Oh god.. Duo…
Where are you?
****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****
Heyas. For all you out there whom thinks Quatre has a crush on Duo, I'm not a real big Yaoi fan [no offense to all those who love Yaoi :P]. So No he doesn't. He's just a natural worrier, so I decided to portray Duo as a brother image to him, since he did grow up in a family of all girls.
I hope you like this chapter :P I'll get out with the next one soon. I've made a bet with one of my friends however and was wondering if you could help me :P
Their betting I can't get 50 reviews by April 19. I was wondering if you could help me save some money and show that people do care about my writing! So please take the 2 minutes or so to review! Thank you!
