Visiting Hours

Chapter Fourteen

Duo's POV

My mumbling was forgotten as I heard the door open and a metal 'clang' sound on the floor every now and then.

I turned.

Before me, a tan boy stood supporting most of his weight on a metal cane [1] while he smiled at me genuinely.

Chang Wufei.

I leapt out of my chair and ran to him.

"FEI-FEI!" He looked startled as he tried furiously to hobble away but he couldn't stop me from giving him a gargantuan bear hug.

"Easy Maxwell! I was friggin' shot in the chest! DUO!"

Realizing my mistake, I pulled away sheepishly and wept tears of joy. Wufei too had tears in his eyes as he grinned and shook his head at me.

Looking past him, I saw Heero and Trowa, those little pranksters, standing in the doorway and ran to hug them as well. With one of my arms around each of their shoulders, we all entered Quatre's room completely and watched Wufei hobble to the chair I had been recently sitting in.

Despite his happy smile, Wufei glared at Quatre who only cried tears of happiness in return.

"So, I hear talk that you saved my life." Quatre blushes as he wipes away his tears and Wufei continues.

"But Heero's right. If I had lived and found that died saving my life…" Instead of explaining, Wufei just shook his head and we all understood. Slowly, Wufei stood and bent down to hug Quatre before a nurse beckoned him away.

"Time to get back to bed." Wufei waved a farewell before reluctantly going back to his room with the nurse.

With my arms still around Trowa and Heero's shoulders, I look to Quatre. For once I see happiness not only on his face but sparkling in his aqua eyes.

Then, faintly, I saw a figure standing beside Quatre. His light mahogany brown hair was ruffled and yet tidy at the same time as it hung over his dark eyes. With his hands stuffed deep inside the pockets of his worn brown leather jacket, he stared deep into my eyes. His blue jeans were faded and his black shirt had a few droplets of green paint on it…from when we painted his living room walls olive green.

Kurt.

For the first time, I wasn't saddened to think of him. I could only think of all the good times we shared and not the fact that he is gone for good. Kurt smiles gracefully at me and through his eyes I hear the unsaid message.

"I'll always be with you, Duo."

And with that, he vanished, but sorrow did not plague me. I close my eyes and can feel his presence with me. I smile and open my eyes yet again.

I was met with Quatre's happy face and Trowa's omniscient and caring one. Heero as well nodded to me before I was sent yet another message…

…by my stomach.

"When do we eat? Boy howdy am I starved!"

Quatre's laughter fills the room as Heero rolls his eyes and Trowa shakes his head, smiling.

After a final wave to Q-Man, I lead the way to the cafeteria with Heero and Trowa close behind. It was all over and I was ecstatic, along with deathly hungry.

And he doesn't know it yet, but Heero is picking up the check.

~End~

[1] - I hate to interrupt the story with silliness…but can't you just imagine Fei with a cane try to hobble away from Duo's hyper-ness! *huggles Fei and grins!*

*~*~*~*

Well? How did you like the ending?? ^_^ I hope that you loved it as much as I did!

I just couldn't kill off Wufei! Yay! (for those of you who like him)

So, next question…should there be a sequel? I would LOVE to write one, but *shrugs* I don't really have any ideas for one…

If YOU have an idea though, TELL ME! In a review, or by e-mail!

Thank you reviewers SOO MUCH! I love you all!

Please grace me with one more review…please?

*smiles shyly in that innocent kind of way that people can't resist* Pretty Please?

Alright, Thanks again to everyone!

Talk to me anytime through review, e-mail or AIM ( Ice Princess Xia )

Later~!
