The Gift of Sight
Dear Readers,
I am back from my little rest of about..... Oh, what the hey, all I was thinking about was you guys, and what I should type up for you! So, I decided upon doing this, the sequel to The Life of Heero Yuy: As Told By Fellow Pilots, since it was in such a high demand. I am also trying to figure out what else can I do? Hn..... I believe by doing a new angst fic. Oh, I know, not another angst fic involving Heero! No, no, this one is different I promise! It involves Dr. J. being the villain here, and Heero's the victim.... You'll see how it all works out. Tears of Cold Steel, I think I shall dub it. Now, trust me on this one, you guys, it's good, very good. Anyway, here's to the sequel of the other story.... Official Fanatic Sailor Kirby: Hooray! ^.^
Sincerely Yours,
FB
Chapter 1
Duo stood to the side, watching everyone else pack up what Heero'd need for his stay in the hospital. It wasn't that he was sick, not at all, though he would hopefully get better. You see, Heero Yuy was born both blind, and deaf. This never stopped him from a normal life, however, he was even the former pilot of the Gundam Wing Zero. Duo looked down at the new booklet he held in his hand, the last journal of Heero's experiences with the other pilots being filled with notes of good luck, and such from other friends, the old book had been getting thick with small gifts for later. After feeling someone's hands clutching to his chest, Duo looked down at Heero, who seemed to have become rather confused since the other guys never explained about the big 'surprise' they had all planned. That surprise would change Heero's life if it worked, forever. Duo smiled, gently patting Heero on the head, before signing carefully that it was just that they were going to go on a trip. 'Why doesn't anybody tell me when they all decide to pack up, and go on vacation, huh?', Heero signed back, 'Just because I can't see what's going on doesn't mean I don't want to know what is.'
Duo chuckled, 'Remember that big surprise we're giving you?',
'Yeah, so?', came Heero's response, 'You don't mean..... This is actually it, are you?!',
'What else could it be?', Duo signed slowly, 'It's no where near summer, and winter vacation was done a whole week ago, you know that.',
'Since you put it that way.....', Heero got a sly expression across his face, 'Tell me what it is.',
'No. I promised I wouldn't.', Duo signed into Heero's palm.
'Dam.', Heero signed back to him.
"Is everything ready to roll?", Trowa asked.
"Yup.", Duo answered, before turning to Heero, 'I'm going to guide you to the car, okay?', Duo asked.
'Okay, give me soft first, though.', Heero retorted.
Duo handed him the ragged old bear that Heero always referred to as soft, since he depended on feel rather than sight, or sound. As the two came outside, and got into the car, Duo couldn't help but wonder what it would be like seeing everything for the first time.
....
When they all arrived at the hospital, they were greeted by Doctor Mathews, the one who would operate on Heero. He led them to the room Heero would be staying in while he was there. Duo oddly noticed Heero clutching to his side, like a scared child. "Hey Quatre, I don't think Heero's ever been inside a hospital before.", Duo said, "Explain to him everything, that way he isn't too confused.",
As Quatre did that, the doctor explained that the first day would be like a get settled in day for Heero, and the rest of them. However, tomorrow, he wanted a look at Heero's eyes, and ears to determine what was wrong with them. Of course this was fine with Heero, now that he knew this was a surprise. Soon, late that night all were asleep, except for Duo who kept record of Heero's first day towards gaining sight.
End Chapter: More so of a Prolog, really, but, ah, well.... What can I say, you gotta start somewhere! Read my other new fic it's about Heero becoming some twisted experiment for Doctor J. Anyway, I think I'll call it, Fusion of Silver and Flesh....
