Chapter 9
Duo woke earlier than usual. He'd gone to bed earlier, but not been able to sleep that well, probably because today was day seven, the day Sally was coming to take off his bandage. Only a few hours and he'd find out if he could see again. In some ways he wanted it to hurry up, to end the angst, the waiting, but then again if he still had on the bandage nothing was set in stone, there'd still be the hope.
He felt nervous in a way, but if he could see, everything should be okay. But if not, well Wufei and Heero said they'd be there for him, but what if? What if it was just lies to make him feel better? What if they changed their minds? Looking after a blind guy when your supposed to be a Gundam pilot isn't the easiest thing in the world. No, Duo knew they wouldn't lie, he was just being stupid about the whole thing and panicking, and thinking too much.
"Are you okay Duo?"
"Yeah Hee-chan, I was just thinking."
"You've been thinking for at least two hours. Want to talk about it?"
"No." He sighed, "But I should. I was thinking about how I really want to see again, but obviously you got that. I mean its not just the things you'd think someone would miss, you know the things I had before, like seeing the moon and stars, being able to read, write and draw, but also people, I want to see all of you again, I want to see you and Wufei smile, for me. I've heard you laugh and joke over the past week, things before you didn't do so much, but I want to see it."
"I'm sure you will, just wait, it'll be okay."
"Thank you."
"Do you want some breakfast now? Fei is making pancakes."
"Wu's up?"
"Yeah, no-one said you were the only one who couldn't sleep." Heero said, leading Duo in to the kitchen, who seemed a little taken back, if they couldn't sleep for worry either, then they certainly must care a lot, man was he lucky. Pancakes too- yum!

"How long until Sally gets here?"
"She said on the phone this morning she'd be here at half past, so about 10 minutes." Quatre told him. "Of course depending on traffic."
"Okay. Man I can't wait to get this thing off, I don't think I remember how to open my eyes."
"Its only been a week you know." Trowa commented.
"So? Have you had your eyes closed for a week?" Heero asked.
"No."
"Well you wouldn't know then." Wufei finished.
"Hey guys its okay. He was just saying, no harm done right? He's right it has only been a week, but a week does change a lot of things."
"Sorry." Heero and Wufei mumbled.
"Good, now that's settled we can go back to waiting impatiently, or is that just me?"
"Not just you."
"Good, impatience is so much more fun with company." Duo smiled, just as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." Quatre decided getting up. A moment later he returned to the living room with Sally in tow.
"Hey, Duo how are you feeling?" She asked.
"Fine thanks Sally, except one thing, oddly enough I haven't been seeing much lately." He grinned jokingly.
"That's his way of saying he's nervous." Wufei clarified.
"Okay, so are you ready for me to take off those bandages?"
"Do you really have to ask? Hell I am!"
"Right hold still, this wont take a minute." Sally told him as she began to cut through the bandage. He trembled slightly, hands clenched in to fists by his sides, carefully she took away the bandage to reveal his closed eyes, his face slightly red where the bandage had been, especially around his eyes. "Now open your eye's very slowly." She instructed.
"Okay." He answered unsure as he began trying to open his eyes, painfully, "I cant it hurts."
"Yes you can." Heero told him sounding determined as both he and Wufei took his left hand in their own.
"Right." Duo held his right hand in front of his eyes to shield them from the light, then slowly opened them, blinking slowly as he adjusted to the light and began to focus them. Once he'd started to focus on his hand, he slowly moved it away to reveal his smile, which immediately grew upon seeing Wufei and Heero smiling, no, smiling at him. He quickly enveloped them in a tight hug. "I can see." He whispered happily, eventually stopping to thank Sally. After she'd left here returned his attention to his friends, watching Wufei and Heero smiling, and talking whilst they all sat on the couch. He'd been wrong earlier, thinking everything would be the same if he got his sight back. It had changed a lot, but hopefully it would be for the better, he'd just have to wait, for now he was too busy to think about that, as he revelled in pure bliss.

AN- One part to go! Yey, he can see, praise shinigami! ( Of course I'd let him see again, I have to always have a happy ending. Ja ne- Vic
