Fusion of Flesh and Silver
Dear Readers,
Today is a day of happiness, the day we find out the results of the Yaoi or Not Yaoi voting! All the fans: Long live democracy! Um.... Yeah.... I guess. As the voting started up, I noticed a lot of 1x 2 and 2x1 pairings fans out there! So, drum roll please! (Drum hammers in the background as FB unfolds the envelope.) The winner is.... Yaoi by a land slide! (The non really only had one small vote.) Okay, so it's Yaoi right now, with a 1x2x1 pairing.
Sincerely Yours,
FB
Chapter 4
Quatre watched as Duo ushered Heero aside to be calmed down. It didn't help when a slightly sweaty Wufie came inside, sword swung over one shoulder. Of course, he didn't know what was going on, but one good look at Yuy's one arm caused him to tense up, and draw his sword. Luckily, Duo stood in his way enough to block Heero from any potential attack. "Maxwell, what, what is that!", he said, gesturing towards Heero, who was pretty well hidden.
"That, Chang is Heero, so put your over sized toothpick away will ya?", Duo said, with a bit of an edge, "He's not all himself right now, Wu, just try not to do any sudden moves.",
As Heero managed to calm down after a while of sitting on the floor knees hugged to his chest, with his head downcast into them. During that time, Duo explained everything from what he had gathered from the rather hard to gather details of what had happened to Heero. As Heero got up, and walked quietly over to stand beside Duo, Wufie was nodding as Duo finished at the place where he laid Heero down on the bed to rest part. "I see, so, he actually never volunteered for it.... That is something only one of a purely crude, and cold heart would do.", Wufie said, anger threatening to rise up.
"I know, when I went to fix him up, don't get me wrong, but, whoever did this was messed up.", Duo muttered, "Even I was shocked at all that had been hooked up to machinery, and some of what wasn't hooked up, was cut off, and replaced by whole machine components.",
Heero quietly tapped Quatre on the shoulder, wrote something down on a table of paper he'd found, and left. Duo took a seat along on the couch, across from Quatre, Trowa and Wufie. "I can't understand why anyone would do such a thing. For one, the war's over.", Duo explained, "But, making a human into some crudely made weapon is not right, it just is not right!",
"I would suggest talking to the guy who helped to make your gundam, Duo.", Trowa said, "He might have some clue as to who it is.",
"Yeah, Howard will know and he wouldn't hide anything from me.", Duo said, "I'll go have a talk with him tomorrow.",
.....
Heero had fallen dead asleep when they got back, of course, Duo couldn't help but peek in while he was sleeping. The moonlight shone down on Heero's relaxed face, and Duo felt tingles up and down his spine at the sight of Heero's long neck.
.....
Trapped, he was trapped, and Dr. J. moved closer and closer towards him, Heero fought, only to be seized by that all too robotic arm. "Get away from me you... You monster!", Heero yelled at him, trying to kick, and to fight his way free from the Doctor.
"Why, when you are now one too?", the doctor responded, "No one will love you like you are now, no one.... Except me.",
"But, you're dead!", Heero spat in his face, "I killed you, you're dead. Duo cares about how I feel, and they all want to break your neck, but I already killed you for them, so why bother me more?!",
"I am dead, now aren't I?", the Dr. replied, fading, "I'm... Dead, but so are the answers to many questions you seek to know....",
Heero felt reality shift, it twisted, and bent. He was now walking down a street it was filled with people. Duo, where was Duo in all of this? Heero wandered, many people stumbled back in his wake, some screamed, others cried, yet, some just stood with shock. Where was Duo? Where was he? Heero kept moving, faster, and faster, he had to find Duo had to. "Looks so innocent.", it was Duo's voice, Duo, "Just covering you up, please, don't wake...",
Heero's one eyelid fluttered open, he looked at Duo, with the moon shining just right, all the loose hairs around his head became a halo almost. "Gomen na si, Heero, didn't mean to wake you, but, you tossed your blanket aside in your sleep.", Duo explained.
Heero hugged onto Duo's neck, not wanting Duo to leave, no, that dream had scared him too much. "Heero, I think I better go back to my couch in the living room.", Duo whispered.
Heero shook his head desperately clinging tighter. "What is it Heero?", Duo asked, concerned, "You want me to stay here?", Duo asked, "Okay, I'll just get the spare blankets from the closet and...",
Heero shook his head again, his heart hammering, he didn't want to loose Duo, not like in the dream. No, not like that. "Okay, I guess whatever's gotten you all shook up, it did a hell of a job. I guess I'll sleep here then.", Duo responded, a little uncertain.
After Duo got settled in, Heero hugged onto Duo's midsection, not wanting to let go of him, not wanting to be left alone. Duo started to hum something gently rubbing his back, some old lullaby. Heero felt his muscles relax, his fears subside, and sleep take him like a gentle summers breeze far away from the hellish nightmares of late.
End Chapter: Okay, so this one is just a little Shoneni for now, but, I swear that the next one will have Yaoi for sure.
