*He lightly stepped on the grass of the clearing in the unknown forest. He took in the sight before him. It was night, he watched as the light from the moon danced on the leaves, casting shadows as they swayed to the slight breeze. "You're back.." A soft voice spoke. He turned at the sound. He saw the pale boy who haunted his dreams.. but this was different. He had wings with long, sweeping feathers. The said boy was staring at the full moon, giving him an angelic glow. The boy turned his head to look straight into his eyes. "I have been waiting for you to return." He stepped closer to the angelic figure. "I always end up here.. don't I?" The winged boy returned his heavy stare to the moon. "I suppose you do." He was never very talkative in the dreams. He took a seat next to the boy, and looked at his cobalt eyes. "Can you tell me why?" The other boy's eyes fluttered closed, a wistful smile on his face. "Because I wanted you here." The violet eyed one looked at him strangely. "Why?" The angel's eyes opened slightly. He almost missed the whispered words, "I'm lonely.." *

Duo lifted his heavy eyelids and looked at the clock beside him, stating that it was five thirty in the morning. With an annoyed sigh, he decided that he wouldn't be able to sleep anymore. He tried to concentrate on making breakfast, but his thoughts were elsewhere. //I'm lonely..// The boy's voice rang through his mind. He felt bad for the mysterious boy who had appeared so many times in his dreams. He mentally smacked himself for being so silly. The boy in the dreams was just a figment of his imagination. He didn't have any emotions, because he wasn't real. He was just being stupid. Dream people don't have feelings.

Duo sighed again as he chewed on the burnt toast absentmindedly. He had been exhausted for the past two months. He had been missing sleep, waking up at random times at night and usually didn't manage to get back to sleep. The dreams disturbed him. The prussian eyed boy was so alone. The dreams weren't intense enough to call them nightmares, but Duo was hurt by the beautiful boy's pain. So what if he wasn't real? It still bothered him.

Duo picked up his pack and started walking to school. "Hey Duo!" He heard the sweet voice of this best friend. Just then the perky girl ran up to him. "Hmm, didn't think you'd make it. So whad'ya do? Sleep in or something?" Duo snorted. "Heh, I wish.." Hilde looked at him oddly. "I was just a little distracted this morning, no biggie." He winked at her and she looked a bit skeptical, but soon returned to her usual happy smile. Hilde and Duo continued to walk to school. Hilde was chattering about her friends with duo listening half-heartedly.
