Chapter 10
Duo lay on the lawn at the back of the house, the sky was so dark it could almost be considered black. The stars shone brightly, and sparkled in a way that made him think they were winking as if they had a secret they were keeping, which was probably true.
It was about 11:30, he'd been outside for the past hour or so, just looking at the stars, smiling up at them, glad he was able to look at them again, be enchanted by their intense beauty, wondering of what they had seen in their lifetime, what they knew that he didn't. He was thinking again, oh big mistake, all it did was confuse him out of his mind, making him wonder about things, making questions swirl through his head, ones he feared answering.
Wufei and Heero had been so nice the past week, they really seemed to care, and take it upon themselves to cheer him up and make sure he was okay. Was it because they felt pity of him? Did Quatre or Sally make them? Did they just not want him, a good pilot of the war to go over the edge? Or did they truly care, and worry about him, for who he was, because they were his friends?
That's only the part of it, he also wasn't sure about himself, how did he feel? He at times seemed so vulnerable, was this why he allowed their compassion? To make him feel better? Or because he felt safe in their arms, as if the world would not move him, and everything truly would be alright? It was the same questions, the same fears, true Wufei and Heero had both told him they did care, which put him at ease, but only for a while, the fears and questions always returned, it was as if he needed closure on them, proof or something.
Everyone else had gone to bed ages ago, so he decided it wouldn't hurt to sing, not loudly, thought precisely, each word sung to its full potential, all of his emotions exposed in the words. It was a song from one of his CD's, it was by some girl called Michelle Branch, called everywhere.
#Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere#
It was only the way the song was sung that attracted him to it, the words, they didn't suit him fully as he would have liked, no song did, but those key parts matched like DNA.
#Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
You're never there
And every time I sleep
You're always there#
Maybe if he thought about it the words do fit, you just need to read between the lines.
#'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
You might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh
And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It's you I breathe
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?#
Duo sighed closing his eyes, but immediately sat up again, eyes shooting open in surprise as he heard a voice, whispering thought the night an answer, "Yes."
He whipped his head round to see Wufei and Heero standing in the shadows, wearing shorts and loose T-shirts, their nightwear, he admittedly was wearing just the same, but all in black of course. "Uh hey guys." He greeted warily.
"Duo." Wufei scowled. "You shouldn't be out here dressed like that so late, you'll catch cold."
"Sorry, I just wanted to see the moon and stars. I thought you'd gone to bed anyway."
"We had, but that doesn't mean we'd got to sleep." Heero clarified giving Duo a hand up off the grass, "Coming to bed Duo-kun?"
"I guess." Duo reluctantly agreed, "How much did you hear?"
"Enough to know you can sing, and enough to say you're not the only one."
"What?" Duo demanded bewildered.
"Ashiteru." Heero spoke, stroking Duo's hand with his thumb.
"Really?"
"Wasn't it obvious?" Wufei asked a little amused.
"I wasn't sure if it was that or because you felt sorry for me."
"Oh Duo! Of course it wasn't that, baka."
"Really? Thank you, for everything." Duo smiled brightly, and sincerely as they reached their room, his hand still holding Heero's, he was led in to Heero's bed, followed by both Heero and Wufei either side of him, somehow the three fit in the single bed quite snug, and soon drifted off to sleep, happy and content. For Duo Koibito to the left, Koibito to the right.

AN- I'm done. Oh how I love happy endings. ( Thank you everyone for the reviews, and I'm going to do a few more cute one-shot pieces, try and type up some old Gundam Wing poems and stuff, then maybe I'll start another one like this. Also I'm going to attempt to add a fun chapter to this with the mucked about songs such as the whole Dancing Queen and Zechs fiasco. (Don't ask how I'm going to do that, however I'm really going to try!) Anyway as I said before thanks for the reviews! I loved each and every one of them! ( Okay till I see you next Ja ne - Vic
