Heero stopped in track as he saw the one he was searching for. His breath caught in his throat when he saw Duo's naked body curled up on the bloody floor, with his clothes were scattered around him. The Japanese advisor could hear the braided boy softly crying. /Oh God…I hope Otto didn't do what I think he did to Duo.../ He clenched his fist. "Duo?" he called softly, trying not to scare Duo.

Duo stopped crying and looked up. /Heero? That's impossible. Heero doesn't want to see me again…he hates me. He would never ever come for me. He'll ever forgive me for lying to him. He doesn't like fags./ silent tears made their way down Duo's face again. His heart still ached from Heero's rejection.

Heero felt his heart tear from Duo's suffering. He wanted to give Duo some time to calm himself but he couldn't wait. He had to get Duo out of here, fast. "Duo?" he called again. No answer. "It's alright now. It's me Heero. I'm not going to hurt you"

"He-Heero?"

The Japanese man let out a sigh of relief. "Yes. It's me." he said, stepping forward to Duo.

Duo's eyes widened in horror and he forced his bruised body to move back from Heero, his hands covering his face. "No! Don't look at me!" he cried out.

Heero felt hurt at Duo's reaction. Was he scared of him? He could see fear and shame in those violet eyes. "I won't hurt you" He said again but Duo refused to look at him and begged him to leave. He was about to try again when the building began to shake. Shit! They didn't have much time left.

Just then the door opened and Wufei came in. "Heero the building is going to crash down. Hurry! We-" he stopped when he saw Duo. "Duo?"

Hearing his best friend's voice, Duo looked up at Wufei and his hands reached for him. "Wufei!" he cried out. "Wufei, please help me!" Duo tried to stand up but failed. Wufei hurriedly ran to his best friend and covered his bare body with his clothes before he scooped him to his arms.

Duo buried himself into Wufei's chest as deep as he could and cried softly. The Chinese man looked at Heero in confusion. Heero just shook his head and gestured for Wufei to get out of there. Wufei nodded and three of them made their way to the garden just before the whole building crashed. Wufei shielded Duo with his body to prevent more damaged to his already bruised friend. Slowly he got up to his knees, still holding Duo and looked at the once exclusive building. They were sure LUCKY to get out of there in one piece, with only minor wound. The only damage to him was several small cuts from small rocks and pieces of glass from the explosion.

He sighed, relieved. Looking down at Duo, he realized that the braided boy had fallen unconscious. He heard a groan and looked at his side. Apparently Heero wasn't as lucky as they were. His right leg was hurt and bleeding. "Heero?" Wufei called out.

The Japanese boy groaned again and struggled to sit up. He gasped in pain a little. "I-I'm okay. Duo? Is he alright?" he asked, looking at the limp form in Wufei's arms.

The Chinese man shook his head lightly. "I can't say that he's alright. We better take care of his wounds. It's pretty bad. Can you walk?" Heero nodded and tried to stand up but failed. "Just a second" he said as he tried again and…failed again. "Aarrrrgyh!!! I can do it!" He yelled in frustration.

Wufei shook his head. "You can't walk. Just admit it" he sighed as Heero glared at him. "Give me your cell phone" he asked. He was relieved when Heero grunted and tossed his phone to him.

Trowa and Quatre were waiting in a car not far from the mansion. They supposedly were waiting for their three friends and for backup just in case something happened. But there was no sign of Heero or Wufei and they began to worry. That's why Quatre was startled when Trowa's phone started ringing and quickly answered it. "Hello? Heero? Wufei? What happened?" Quatre asked.

"Calm down. It's me Wufei. Can you come here and give us a hand? Heero's hurt and he can't walk right now."

"Is he alright? What about Duo?" he asked again.

"… We got him. We'll tell you the details later. Just come get us in front of the mansion, ok?"

"Alright" Quatre said and hung up the phone.

"Quatre?" Trowa asked. Quatre just shook his head slowly and told his lover to get his friends at the mansion.

Soft…Warm…that was Duo's first thought when he regained consciousness. He opened his eyes slowly and met with a familiar white wall. /Where am I?/ he moved his eyes around the room and realized that he was in his own room. He sighed in relief and soon realized that someone was holding his hand. He looked at his side right into a pair of cobalt eyes. "He-ero" he murmured in disbelief.

"Thanks God you're awake...Duo…" he tightened his hold on his ex boyfriend's soft hand. He was really afraid that Duo would never wake up.

Unconsciously his hand reached down to caress Duo's hand. He pulled away immediately when he saw Duo flinched at his touch. "I'll call Wufei" he murmured and slowly walked out. His leg still hurt a little but that nothing compared with his broken heart. Duo hated him and it was all his fault.

Duo almost cried when Heero walked away from him. /I guess Otto was right for once. He hates me for sure now./ he lifted one of his hands on his throbbing heart. His world was turned completely upside down since he had met a certain Japanese man.

Heero hurried to the garden. He's sure that Wufei would be there. In fact he was always there. "Wufei!" he called out as he reached the garden. "Duo is awake!" he whispered to him, so he wouldn't worry the children. They only knew that their favorite 'father' was sick.

Wufei nodded quietly at him and they went to the braided boy's room. He knocked softly twice before he entered Duo's room. Duo looked better than the last time he saw him but he still looked pale. With a second look at his bruised friend, he noticed that Duo was trembling a little, his eyes filled with fear and shame. /He must be afraid of Heero/ he realized /The last time they were together was filled with pain and sorrow./ "Heero, could you leave us alone for a moment?" he asked.

Heero nodded and went out quietly, feeling hurt that he was the main reason Duo felt scared and uncomfortable. He looked again at his lovely angel before he completely left the room.

**

It's been half an hour, two minutes and forty seconds since he left Duo with Wufei. He walked in circle again and sighed constantly. He had looked to the doors almost twenty times now. He knew he was being incredulous but he couldn't help it. He was really worried about Duo.

Finally he decided to glare at the door until one of them came out or better yet call him to join them. Duo's reaction to him made him scared, scared that Duo was no longer love him. He knew that Otto hurt Duo just to make him suffer. The Japanese man cursed silently at himself. /Will Duo ever forgive me..?/ he closed his eyes. / That's not important...I just want to know that Duo is all right now./ Making up his mind, Heero focused his eyes on the harmless door again.

Ten minutes later the door was opened and Wufei came out from Duo's room. Heero was dying to ask questions of his now-friend but Wufei shook his head and gestured for him to follow. Heero followed Wufei back to the garden and waited for him to begin.

"I'm sorry Heero…It seems that he doesn't want to see you, at least not now. He doesn't talk much either." Wufei said. "It breaks my heart to see him cry so much, I had to calm him down before he finally fell asleep."

Heero's heart felt hurt when he heard that Duo didn't want to see him but he nodded quietly in acceptance. "…Can I stay here until Duo healed? I have to say something to him." Heero asked. He knew that Wufei knew what he had to say to Duo. He breathed in relief at Wufei permission. "Well then, see you later" and he walked back to the guest room.

One week and a half had passed and Duo had almost fully healed. His bruises almost gone and his body didn't hurt so much anymore. The only reason he didn't want to go outside his room was the fact that Heero was still in the church. He wasn't ready for that. Beside after what Otto had done to him, he was ashamed of himself.

There was a soft knock on the door and Duo froze. He knew who it was. Everyday Heero would knock on his door, asking permission to enter and every day he would try to ignore it. He wanted to see Heero badly, to feel his arms around him once more. But he couldn't, he was scared that if he went to talk to Heero, the Japanese man would break his heart once more. A few minutes later he could hear Heero walked away and he sighed.

Suddenly there's a loud knock at the door and a voice "Duo it's me" Duo immediately opened the door and pulled his best friend inside. He sat on the bed while Wufei sat on the chair near the bed. Wufei sighed as he looked at pale face of his friend. "Duo, how long do you plan on locking yourself inside your room? Look at yourself! You need more sunlight and fresh air." He shook his head. "Besides Heero won't go until he talks to you" he added. Duo winced as Wufei mentioned his ex-boyfriend name. He knew he couldn't hide forever but he'd like to buy some more time. He felt guilty when he heard Wufei's next words.

"And what about the children? They all miss you!" Wufei knew he was being hard on Duo but there's no other way to convince his best friend to go outside and get on with his live.

"…but Heero…" he looked down at his lap.

Finally Wufei had had enough of this misunderstanding between the two of them and he pulled Duo to his feet and to the front of the window. He opened the black curtain and Duo had to shield his eyes with his hand for a moment.

Duo never opened the curtains. After what Otto had done to him, he preferred to stay in a dark room.

"Look outside, Duo" Wufei commanded.

Slowly after he adjusted to the light he opened his eyes. At first he saw nothing except children playing, but after a few minutes, he gasped when he saw that Heero was playing with them. He looked at Wufei, confused. He knew Heero would never play with children, at least that what Quatre told him.

"He never left this church since you were rescued." Wufei said. "He still loves you."

Duo let out a bitter laugh. "That's what you think?"

"Then why he's still here if he doesn't love you anymore?" Wufei countered.

"…pity…" Duo murmured.

"What?"

"It's because he pities me and I don't need it! Before we left the mansion, he said that he- he hated me! You heard it yourself." He cried out as he closed the curtain again. "I don't want his pity…"

Wufei took Duo into his arms and soothed him. "Why don't you talk to him? Then you would know if he loves you or not." He said softly.

"But-" Duo tried to protest.

"No buts Duo. Please do this for me?" The Chinese man hated to use Duo's weakness but there's no other way to make Duo face the reality. After a minute or two he felt Duo nodded against his shoulder. Satisfied he released Duo and smiled to him. "You stay here. I'll go get him"
