"Until it sleeps"

Heero lunged forward into the awaiting arms of his roommate. He grasped the long braid, and gasped into the warm chest of comfort. That same dream, that same memory, would it haunt him forever? He shivered, and the protective arms pulled him closer. "Sorry I woke you again Duo..." Duo, his ever-silent angel, his sweet savior; Duo nodded, in acknowledgement.

{Back flash} The five had decided to move in together, it would be an interesting and pleasing combination. Since they were each other's only family, it seemed like a good idea. Quatre and Trowa, called the master room. Seeing as they had the most things, Wufei called the only room big enough for one, (also known as the attic). Heero was thrust in with Duo, he knew how he was when he slept, and he wasn't looking forward to loud mouth duo, telling about they're adventures in the night. So, Heero didn't sleep for two nights because he was so worried he'd wake his new roomy up, with his cries. On the third day, he could stand it no longer, and drifted off. Just as he thought, he'd fallen into the nightmare. But this time, a warm voice drew him out; he woke up when his fist had struck the soft flesh of Duo cheek, sending him sprawling for the floor. After making many stuttered apologies. He silently cried himself to sleep, just sure, Duo would ask for a room change telling them of what happened. Although the next day duo didn't even speak of it, or acknowledge it happened. When it happened again the next night, saying nothing, Duo again, came and comforted him. And so would begin they're…nightly ritual {End flash back}

"Duo…" Heero began, but Duo interrupted him as if sensing his thoughts.

"Relax Heero…you don't have to explain."

"But…I…I want to…. Your always there…. and I know…" he let his hand drop to Duo's uncovered wrist. There were thin slash marks and even lighter scars upon his forearm.

"Heero…you know nothing…" He pulled his sleeve down. Then again wrapped his arms around the smaller boy.

"…Duo…When I was…" Again he was interrupted.

"Heero I know."

"You know nothing." Was Heero's tight and ridged reply.

Silence ran threw them, Duo stood. "We have are own ways of dealing with the past. I cut…you dream." He lay down in his own bed, Duo's shoulders heaved in the darkness, he did know, may be not about the same things, but he did know pain. 

A/n this was inspired from a picture on elfwood.com {her name is Valériane Duvivier, and the picture is called Until it sleeps} { http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/fanq/v/a/valeriane2/untilitsleep4.jpg.html } So look her up, it's a really great site for pictures and all. Here is the link:

Check out the picture, and tell me if you think my story fits it. As for if it's Yaoi or not…well, that's for you to decide. It's kinda shabby and I changed a lot of things, so constructive criticism would be nice. Thanks muchly! {Oh, I don't own Gundam Wing, or Elfwood, or the pic! ^-^ Enjoy!
