Chapter 2
Sally finished wrapping the bandage around Duo's head, covering his eyes as she spoke. ".Meaning you will need it on for the next week, I'll be back to remove it. Its highly possible you'll be able to see again, but there is a 20% chance you wont. However, being who you are I'm almost positive you'll be fine." She smiled a little, stepping back to check her work.
"Thank you Sally." Duo smiled faintly, before letting out a small yawn. "Man I'm tired, what time is it?"
"11:30." Trowa informed him.
"Really? Didn't know it was so late."
"You should get some rest Duo. If there isn't anything else, I'll be going." Sally said picking up her bag.
"No, that's all. Thank you Sally." Quatre smiled as he saw her out.
"Now make sure you all take care of him, okay Quatre." Sally told him quietly, "But don't smother him okay?"
"Yes Sally, and thanks again." He smiled giving a wave before closing the door.
"So, uh, dumb question but which ways the door?" Duo asked sheepishly.
"This way." Wufei told him, guiding him to face the door, "Want help getting to your room?"
"Uh okay. Thanks Fei, I mean Wufei." Duo corrected himself.
"No problem." Wufei told him as he guided him to the room which he shared with Heero, the whole way up there Duo remained silent. "What's troubling you Duo, you seem to quiet."
"And you seem to nice, you haven't ranted at me for having a weakness yet." Quipped Duo.
"Duo, temporary loss of sight, thought could be considered a weakness, is an unavoidable one, I would not 'rant' about such a thing, that would be unjust. I'm sorry I've made you think that I would thought."
"You're right, I'm sorry Wu. I guess I'm just a tad moody. So you don't think I'm weak?"
"No baka. Anyway I'm going to bed, sleep well." Wufei said closing the door as he left. Duo got in to bed once he'd found it and rolled on his side, waiting for sleep to find him.

Duo woke up at, well he didn't actually know what time it was, it could have been 2:30 in the morning or 2:30 in the afternoon for all he knew. He cursed himself for having a digital clock; at least with one with hands he'd be able to feel the hands to work out the time. Not wanting to wake Heero, if indeed he was there asleep, he quietly got out of bed and slowly felt his way along the wall to his dresser which had his hair brush on it. He felt around carefully and picked it up, then reached in to a drawer and carefully feeling around found a fresh set of clothes. He again made his way across the room along the wall, until he stopped at the door; he opened it and quietly left the room, closing it behind him.
He found the bathroom after using this feeling along the wall technique, and listened carefully to hear if anyone was in it. He heard no one, and proceeded to go in. He changed with some difficulty, being careful not to put on the clothes he had just removed, then splashed his face with cold water, and washed it. He decided he would brush his teeth after breakfast or what ever meal he had next. He then took his hair from its braid, and brushed it through before re-braiding it, he never looked when he did it anyway so his loss of sight made no difference.
Once he had finished he dumped his old clothes in the wash-bin that was conveniently place by the door, then made his way down the hall to the kitchen where he was greeted with the smell of fresh coffee, and could hear the rustling of a paper.
"Morning Duo." Trowa greeted.
"Hey Trowa." Duo replied, "What's the time?"
"7:30."
"Really? That's earlier than I normally get up. So anyone else up?"
"Not that I know of. Do you want some breakfast?"
"Uh okay, what's around other than the coffee?"
"The usual cereal, toast with marmalade, Jam or chocolate spread, orange juice, or fruit. I can get you something else if you want though." Trowa offered.
"Nah, I'll just have some coffee and toast with chocolate spread thanks. Oh and directions to the nearest free seat." Duo joked, Trowa smiled a little and lead him to the nearest seat at the table.
"Sure." Trowa said, putting spread on to a couple of slices of toast, and pouring a fresh cup of coffee, that he then placed in front of Duo." There you go. Careful, coffee's still hot."
"Okay, thanks." Duo smiled before beginning to eat his toast. Footsteps were heard coming down the stairs, so Duo quickly swallowed down his mouthful. "Cool, someone else is up. Let me guess." He said listening as they entered the room. "Quatre."
"Yes?" Asked Quatre.
"Good guess Duo." Trowa chuckled slightly.
"Nah, it was an easy guess, 1) Quatre's usually second up and 2) You can hear the bounce in his step when he enters the room, I mean Heero and Wufei walk like zombies this early." He smirked.
"I never really noticed." Quatre said humour sounding from his voice. "So how long have you been up?"
"Shinigami knows! When I woke up I didn't have a clue what the time was, I got washed, dressed, and did my hair, which by the way seemed to take forever, then I came down here, and Trowa told me it was 7:30, so basically not a clue."
"Oh I know, I've got a watch in my drawer somewhere, that speaks, it tells you the time when you press the button. You can have that." Quatre exclaimed.
"That'd be great Quatre, you can give it to me after breakfast, and while were at it, you can let me know which toothbrush is mine." Drinking some of his coffee now it had cooled down. "Hey Wu-kun."
"Morning Duo." Wufei replied pouring some coffee.
"Good, 2 out of 2. Only Heero's left now. Oh, talk of the devil." Duo smirked, as a smile tugged at both Trowa and Quatre's lips.
"How long have you been up?" Heero asked.
"About an hour I guess, it's hard to tell."
"You weren't there when I woke up, I was wondering if you were okay."
"Yeah, I'm fine, I didn't even break anything." Duo joked.
"Odd, seeing as you often do normally." Wufei retorted.
"Oh I am hurt Fei! What a mean thing to say." Duo exclaimed mockingly with a grin on his face. "Anyway Quat do you mind taking me to that watch you were on about?"
"No problem, and I'll put your toothbrush somewhere easier to find." Quatre replied leading Duo up the stairs.
Once they had gone Trowa sighed. "On the most part, he's faking it."
"I know." Wufei sighed, "Duo upset is not good."
"You two need to support him more than ever. We all do, we have to keep him in good spirits and watch out for him over the next week." Trowa explained grimly, "You both care about him, and he cares about you and he needs you to show it." (AN- Its true, Trowa rarely speaks, but when he has something important to say he says it)
"Right," Heero nodded, as did Wufei. This would be their most difficult mission yet.

AN- Hope your liking, any mistakes concerning someone in Duo's situation I apologise for, I do not have much knowledge on the subject and so I have tried my best. Okay Ja ne - Vic
