Disclaimer. Now, I may have made some odd claims before, like I have
carrots growing out of my ears, and I am the owner of the worlds largest
collection of stuffed pink bunnies, but I can honestly say that none of
them has been so outrageous as my putting out a claim to Gundam Wing and
its characters, cos, heh, its not mine, all I have is my own personal
crazy, a loopy co-author, this weird ass plot, and the helpful input of my
muse Q, and the Chibi-Vash.
A/N Well hullo, Lora here and Yes, I am up-dating. I have had the most horrid writers block for ages now, and there was nothing my Co-Author could do to help me.
Well, I am back now, just my luck this idea hit me at ten to twelve one morning, but what can you do, I will most likely be up till three getting it up on my computer. Being as this is being written at such a stupid time there is o way for me to go through this with my mate Jessie (my co-author DigitalJessie), so well, if it sucks you only have me to blame.
This story has gotten much longer than I intended, and I guess that is kinda because I can still not manage to write a suitable ending, but I think I do know where it is going.
Well, cheers for listing, I will see you all at the end, byzee,
Lora.

Duo didn't know what to make of Heero, he confused him so much, one moment he was acting as if nothing had changed, and the next like Duo wasn't even there. He just wished that Heero would make his mind up.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo had been back at home for about two weeks, and things were back to pretty much how they had been before he had left. He was at this moment, laying in bed starring up at patch of blackness where his ceiling should be.
He had spent that day out with a couple of friends, Will and Tom, and had come home, with them tagging along, to find Heero waiting in the living room and looking slightly edgy. As he tried to introduce his friends to Heero, he left, sulking.
Duo spent a pretty enjoyable hour or so playing computer games up in his room, mostly fighting or racing games as they were his friends favourite. After they had eaten he and Heero pretty much out of house and home they took their leave.
After his friends had left, he had decided that he was going to try and find out what was wrong with Heero, as he had seemed even more out of sorts than usual. But as far as he could tell Heero was not around. Duo searched through the living room the hall, the dining room and even Heeros bedroom, but there was no sign anywhere.
Duo had a moment of panic when he saw that Heeros gun was not in its usual place on the back of the kitchen door, but was reassured when he saw it in its holder on Heeros bed side table.
Duo wandered into the kitchen, but Heero was not there either, but there was a large amount of food in the bin, the food looked like it had been cooked by hand, unlike the usual microwave meals the two usually ate, and also some plates left dumped in the sink and a bottle of wine, still full but re-corked. They never had wine, Never, so why now? Duo shrugged.
Duo dismissed all the odd things that littered the kitchen from his mind and returned to pouting over that Heero had gone out and not told him, and he was not happy, it wasn't that he didn't trust Heero.
He snorted at the thought.
Why should he distrust Heero, there was nothing other than friendship between he and Heero, no matter what Quatre had thought, so, well, he just missed him. He knew he did want more from Heero, but, he couldn't bear the thought of losing Heeros friendship all over again.
With a final sulk, Duo had headed off to bed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo scowled, rolled onto his side, fidgeted, rolled onto his other side, and sighed.. Heero wasn't back, and a glance at his clock told him it was now four fifty three in the morning. He flopped back onto his back and glowered up at his black expanse of ceiling.
His clocked beeped, it was five am, and he had been lying here for five hours.
The front door clicked, Heero was home, Duo was tempted to go and find out where Heero had been, but suddenly he felt overwhelmingly tired, and amazingly safe. Smiling he fell into a deep sleep.
He dreamt that night, not the horror filled nightmares he had experienced during the wars, nor the dreams of tears and worry he had had after he had left the flat and Heero on his own. No, this dream was different, it was soft and warm, and to him it felt safe, but no matter where he want in this dream, just behind him there was always somewhere cold and dark that he could never see, but never escape, but tonight. In his relief that Heero was back he simply ignored it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Duo woke the sun was already high in the sky, and he had quite obviously missed breakfast. After dragging himself out of the warmth and comfort of his bed he took a shower, and three quarters of an hour later he finished blow drying his hair and made his way downstairs.
One glance round the kitchen told him that Heero had gone out, his coat was missing and so where his shoes. Duo mad himself a sandwich, picked up a bag of crisps and a drink and settled down in the living room.
As he picked up the remote he snorted, for stuck to the plastic was a note.
#~ Duo.
I have gone out, I will be back much later this evening. Have your friends over if you wish and I will see you later.
Heero. ~#
Duo shrugged and peeled the note off the remote. At least Heero hadn't completely forgotten him this time.
Duo did not invite his friends over, but instead went out with them, first to a movie, then bowling and finally to a local club, he liked clubs, they were lively and it didn't matter who you were, well, at this club it didn't any way. It was known to both of Duo's friends that he was gay, neither of them cared and neither did the people in this club, they did not discriminate against anyone, so he always felt welcome, hell, this was where he had met Will and Tom.
He had missed his mates a lot while he had been gone, so he made the most of every chance he had to hang around with them, and this evening was particularly fun. And when he arrived back at the apartment he was blinding drunk and ended up passing out on the floor of the living room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After swearing to himself for the hundredth time that he would never touch another drop of booze in his life, Duo dragged himself out of his bed, and with no memory of how he had gotten there, he went in search of some painkillers.
As soon as he entered the kitchen he began to rummage through the medical store.
"Head ache?" a flat voice asked from behind him. "You were in a pretty pathetic state when I dumped you in bed at five this morning!"
Duo grinned, downed two of the pills with out a drink and said:
"Well, ya know how it is, me Tom and Will sorta ended up in a club last night, you know that one in town that is always open and sells booze real cheap?"
Ignoring the fact Heero clearly had absolutely no knowledge of ANY club in ANY town at all Duo continued to explain exactly what had happened the previous day.
Heero sat listening placidly while the braided ex-pilot continued to talk, he did not register most of what was being said but merely let the attention he was receiving distract him.
He was still sitting in a daze when he heard Duo give a shout of "I'll Geddit!!" and saw the braided youth run across the room, it was only then that he registered that the phone was ringing.
"Hey Quat!" Cried Duo exuberantly, "long time no see, how are you?"
"Just fine Duo, Thank you for asking." He heard the blonde reply.
"So, How can I help you Quat?"
"Well, it may seem a bit silly, but, well, Trowa isn't here at the moment, and well, I was sort of lonely, and I wondered if you and Heero would like to come and visit, would you?"
Duo turned and grinned at Heero, well, what do you think Hee-Chan, umm, heh, Heero? You up for keeping Quatre company?"
Heero simply shrugged, content to let the braided one make what he would of the response, but he wasn't even remotely surprised when he heard Duo excitedly agree that YES, definitely YES they would be coming to visit. and yes, if Quatre would fax through the tickets they would leave the next morning.
Heero didn't mind going to visit Quatre, he was in fact looking forward to the rest, peace and quiet the blondes large estate would provide.
That day was a rush of packing and a mad night out with his mates for Duo, and a quiet day of methodical clothing and possession selection for Heero. Neither needed to take much, for Quatre would see that they never went with out, but neither knew how long they would be away, so wanted to ensure that any of their own possessions that they may need would be with them.
The following morning, both Duo and Heero were on a shuttle heading out to Colony L4. The very same place that Duo had left two weeks prior.
In what seemed no time at all the shuttle had landed and Heero and Duo stepped out into the artificial sunlight of colony L4 and were met with the smiling face of their long time friend Quatre Winner.
