"Meet Me Half Way"
Part 9 ~ Fragile Dreams
"Duo!"
My eyes snap open, all the sleep drained from me in a matter of seconds. "What?" I'm on my feet before you can say… well, before anyone can say anything! "Heero? Are you okay?"
"Duo!" His eyes are wide, and his skin is the light of the moon is ghostly. "I can't go – no, Dr. Leeh!"
"What?" I stare at him confused. "What are you talking about? Of course you can go!"
"No – I can't go. No talk to see him. He… I hur, Duo! I don't want hur! Please make it stop! She won't leave me! She can't stop it. It's over! Hold me! Help me! I'm scared!" Heero's eyes are clamped tightly closed, and he's practically screaming. His hands are ripping at his hair and I see tears are streaming down his cheeks.
"Heero! It's okay! It's okay! It was just a dream!" I slipped into bed next to him, and bring him so that he's sitting in my lap and I'm cradling him. "Shhhh, it was just a dream, Heero! It's okay now, I'm here, I'm here!" I hold him close to me, and I can feel him trembling. What's he so afraid of? I don't understand! I wish that he could just tell me, but that's impossible with the way he is right now. It's impossible.
I rock him gently back and forth. "Shhh…. It'll be okay. They can't get you now; I won't let them. You're safe with me, Heero. It's okay." I mumbled these words in his ear… softly and trying my hardest to be soothingly.
"It's okay."
"Scared."
"Don't worry."
"Dark."
"They can't get you."
"Alone."
"I'm here, Heero."
"She hur Duo."
"No, Heero, no one will hurt you or me… if we're together."
"Mine."
And his breathing became somewhat more normal, his trembling having stopped. I eased us both back into a lying position and sigh. He fell asleep again. And I watched him as his chest rises and falls. The moonlight makes him look so elfin and innocent, pale and fragile. I smile gently… he'll be okay, I think. Nothing can hurt him now… because I won't let it.
My eyelids feel heavy and I have to fight to keep them open, a losing battle.
TBC (of course)
It's short, yes, but it has to be… because it forced me to write it… crazy story! I didn't really plan on having this in here… but, oh, well! ~_^ The next part will be longer!!!
