Chapter 2:
'Moon Child'
Heero fumbled for a grip as the ambulance shook to the right in a sharp turn, nearly missing the curb. Duo's arms and legs were being secured along with his neck and Heero could for the first time only watch helplessly. Blood coated the white stretcher, Duo's eyes slightly opened but nothing was there just a void of dull purple.
"Duo." Heero heard himself whisper under his breath he gripped one of the man's hands and held it tightly, it was so cool no warmth. Heero wanted to drop the clammy hand, this wasn't Duo's hand, it couldn't be.
"He's lost too much blood." A woman suddenly spoke.
"We're almost to the hospital." A man butted in. The vehicle stopped at once in front of the long glass doors to the Hospital. Everyone filed out of the ambulance hauling the stretcher and a lifeless Duo.
Heero pushed and shoved to stay with Duo but once inside Duo was rushed down a white distant hall, and Heero was abruptly stopped and held at bay. "You have to wait here Sir." The Doctor stated firmly.
"No. You have to let me go with him! NOW!" But more nurses came over and helped to take him to a waiting area. Heero could have easily gotten past them all but he didn't want to be not allowed in the hospital at all so he quickly sat down. His hands trembled up to find his temples pressing against them hard. "Just come out alive..alive." Heero's voice shook as he let his gaze slowly drop to the floor.
**************************************************************
"Mr...Yuy?" A soft voice called. Heero let his eyes flash open and bolted up. A nurse was standing in the doorway of the waiting area, shadowed slightly.
"Yes?" He stood as tall as he could; he had prepared himself for the worst.
"You can come see him." She stood back opening way for him to pass her through the door. Heero walked, almost at a run towards the hall Duo had been taken to.
"This room Sir." She spoke and opened a white door to her left. The pale Japanese man walked through it his eyes scanning the room. Duo lay silently in a small bed. Tubes were hooked up to him everywhere and his head was wrapped many times with gauze. His long chestnut hair weaved down from it at the front and spooned around his white face.
"The doctor will be in soon to see you." She quietly left, and Heero heard the frail click of the door shutting behind him. He slowly walked over to the bed and gripped a needle embedded arm.
"Duo.wake up." His voice shuttered as he spoke, but the eyelids refused to open.
"Mr. Yuy?" The door opened again and in walked a tall man, lab coat on and a thin pair of classes placed on his nose. Black shaggy hair hung around his concerned looking eyes. Heero didn't answer just nodded then turned his attention back to Duo. "My name is Doctor Clark, I hope you are up to what I have to tell you.."
"I am." Heero stiffened and turned towards the man again.
"Please.sit down." He gestured to two chairs sitting to the side of Duo's room. "Duo is stabilized..but.his heart gave out when he got to the hospital, we revived him, but I'm afraid there were some complications."
Heero's eyes widened and he felt his hand find its way back up to one of his temples. "I'm afraid from all that's happened to him last night, especially the trauma to the back of his head.well we found major damage was done to his brain."
Heero knew he didn't need to ask, but he wanted to hear him say it, wanted to make sure what his brain was telling him, was the same as what the Doctor was on the edge of saying. "Duo will at least.come out of this mildly retarded.I'm Sorry." The man breathed and looked over to see Heero's face.
"You're-You're sure?" Heero gazed up to meet the man's eyes, his own partly clouded.
"Yes.that's the best we can hope for.he may even remember you and his friends." Heero's heart dropped down through his stomach and he felt like it had torn right through his body and smashed through the floor. "I'm going to let you take this all in..I'll be back later with more details and soon Duo should be waking up.." He stood and nodded to Heero and quickly left.
"Duo." Heero whispered and stared at the form lying peacefully in the bed. It wasn't his Duo anymore.that's what the doctor has said, but Heero couldn't believe it or more like his heart couldn't believe it.
*******************************************************************
"He's waking up!"
"Duo? Duo?"
Violet eyes slowly arose, meeting those of questioning and worried looks.
"Look at me, look at me," a voice suddenly rang out and the American slowly turned his head to face him. "What is your name?"
"....D.Duo." A raspy voice charmed.
"Great, good job. Do you, Duo know where you are?"
"..No.."
"Do you know who this is?" The doctor pulled Heero into Duo's line of vision.
"..yea...Wing." He breathed slowly. The doctor looked at Heero whose eyes were brimming with tears.
"It's a.a nickname."
"What's Wing's real name?"
"..Wing.." Was all Duo would say. Heero couldn't think or feel, he wanted to be happy that Duo remembered something about him but, no it wasn't enough.
"Heero, do you need to step outside for a moment?"
"No, I'm fine." He answered and just stared at Duo quietly.
"You will have to get use to this.things will never be the same."
*********************************************************************
Heero silently wheeled Duo into the Apartment complex and over to the elevator. Duo would have to be in a wheel chair awhile and then get physical therapy for his ankles afterwards, so Heero had gone out a bought a silver colored wheelchair.
"We are home Duo." He spoke softly as they stepped off the elevator on their floor and over to their door.
"Wing..I saw the moon." Duo whispered as they went inside. The moon beaming faintly outside the window in the late dusk streaked sky.
"Yes." Heero closed the door and locked it then pushed the wheelchair over towards the kitchen. "Are you hungry?" Duo didn't answer only stared at the moon through the windowpane.
"I've been there.I rode there"
"Yes, you did Duo." Heero poured a glass of juice for him and sat it on the table. "Drink this". He didn't move though, his eyes fixed like the world was drawn out entirely. Heero walked around the table to look into Duo's eyes and only then did his attention fall away from the moon.
"Wing."
"Yes Duo.Drink your juice." The pale man looked over at the glass, brimming full with orange liquid.
"Yes." He whispered and picked up the glass, some of the juice sloshed out of it and fell on Duo's lap but he didn't seem to notice but sipped at the drink. Heero grabbed some paper towel and went to dab up the mess when Duo almost choked, sputtering
"Don't touch!" He cried out. Stunned Heero froze in action. "No touch." The boy-like man stated.
"Okay.Okay Duo." Heero went to hand Duo the towel but he stared right through it back again at nothing.
"Moon.."
"What?" Heero still somewhat shocked at Duo's response to him looked over to see him starring at him. "I want to be named Moon."
"No! You're Duo." Heero stated firmly and took the glass away from him. He threw the drink away in the sink and slammed the glass down on the counter so hard it shattered.
Tears suddenly began spilling from Duo's eyes, he opened his mouth letting cries spill out.
"Why do you yell at moon?" He screamed. Heero turned around sharply and ran over to man.
"You're DUO!! Dammit Duo! And I'm HEERO!" He screamed and grabbed Duo in a hug, ignoring now the frantic cries of Duo telling him not to touch. "Please.remember me! Remember you!! Be YOU! DUO!" he continued to yell, holding Duo tightly.
"STOP!!" Duo screamed, still sobbing he flung his hands back and forth, he didn't know how to get Heero to let go. Finally Heero raised his head back to stare at his lost lover.
"Please?" Duo stared at him with soaking misted eyes, tears dripped from his chin and he still flung his hands back and forth, slower now though.
"Moon." he sniffled. Heero let his head fall softly, he rose and gazed down at him.
"Let's go to bed Du-"
"Moon." Duo suddenly blurted out.
"Mo.Moon." Heero could hardly force himself to say it. He wheeled Duo into their bedroom and towards the dresser.
"I'm not touching, I'm only going to help you put new clothes on?" He asked. The tired American seemed fine with that and Heero helped him into PJ bottoms and a new shirt. Heero lifted him out of the chair and sat him on the bed gently, he still felt like Duo though he thought.
Heero gazed now at his broken lover, part of his hair had been shaved when they had to do surgery but it was covered up pretty well by the top layer of his hair, he had scrapes on his face and he was so pale, an almost dead like color.
Heero changed then and went to get into bed with Duo but his arm brushed him and he became alert and went to yell 'no touch,' but Heero raised himself up off the bed quickly.
"I'll sleep out on the sofa for a couple of nights.till you're over this.phase." Heero wanted to growl the sentence but he was told he had to be patient now. "Call me if you need me." Heero grabbed a pillow and took a small blanket out of the closet then left and turned the light off.
"Goodnight Wing." He heard the small voice whisperer from the dark and he answered softly back.
"Goodnight."
***********************************************************************
The sofa was hard and not that comfortable Heero noted and rolled over on his side to stare in the direction of their bedroom. "How am I going to live without you Duo.."
Silence filled the apartment, it was only 10pm and Heero knew there would have been laughter ringing through the place right now. Duo squealing at some TV program, Duo laughing over some spilled ramen noodles he had made on the counter, Duo laughing about him saying something funny, but never anymore Heero thought.
"How.how can I go on?"
