"Duo," Heero's voice whispered into Duo's ear, "Wake up."
Duo moaned and gently backed handed the offending voice. He pulled the covers up to his chin.
"That wasn't very nice," Heero's voice sounded amused and he tried again, "Duo, you're healthy enough to leave. Let's go home."
Duo's eyes opened, "Home?" He smiled, "In that case!" He sat up and was greeted by Heero's happy grin. He draped his legs over the side of the hospital bed.
"I brought you a pair of my clothes, since your apartment was locked," Heero turned his back and rummaged through his pack.
"I thought you could pick any lock!" Duo said sarcastically, recalling one time, when they were ten, Heero had stated he could break into any house that was locked.
"I didn't want anybody to see me," Heero retorted and smirked, carrying some clothes back to Duo.
Duo smiled and unfolded the clothing, before suddenly frowning. He lowered the clothes and gave Heero a wry look.
"What's wrong?" Heero narrowed his eyes.
Duo held the shirt back up, "You think this is funny! Heero," He pouted, "These are tacky!"
Heero stared at Duo for a few seconds before cracking up, "Duo! I used to wear those and I still do! What's wrong with my green tank and bike shorts!"
Duo still pouted and sighed before putting on the clothes, "I guess beggars can't be choosers. Still I don't feel right wearing them, they do look better on you!"
"That's better," Heero said, as Duo got his left through the shorts and pulled them up.
"Aw, I feel naked! This is wrong and you know it! Hey, you didn't bring me any shoes," Duo pouted again.
Heero stood beside Duo and draped Duo's left arm around his shoulders. They began to walk out of the door when Heero said in a strange tone, "Duo, are we friends?"
Duo looked Heero in the eye before laughing again, "Heero! Of course we are! What makes you think we aren't?"
"Nothing," Heero smiled as he looked ahead. He felt much better, his tension cleared. All this time, being worried about Duo, he was worried about the two of them as well.
Quatre looked up from his seat and his worried features brightened up like the sun, "Duo!!" He ran full speed at Duo and at first, Duo wanted to haul ass before Quatre could run into him, but Quatre stopped and threw his arms around him, "Oh thank God! Duo, I thought . . ." Quatre started to cry before he finished his sentence.
Duo was a bit startled, "Quatre, what's with the water works! I've never seen you act so out of character before!"
"Duo," Heero smiled down at him, "He was worried about you, just like I have been!"
"I'm sorry, guys," Duo blushed, "You don't have to worry anymore."
Quatre smiled, relief washing over his features, "Let's hope so."

Heero sat Duo down on his bed picking up, scattered items and discarding them in the trash.
Duo smiled, "Kind of a neat freak aren't we?" He said sarcastically.
"After all the time we've been together, you never knew that?" Heero laughed and made Duo lie down. He then retreated to the kitchen to make soup. He put a pot of hot water on the stove before returning, and picking up some papers.
"What's that?" Duo asked, still lying on his bed.
"Your homework," Heero grinned, "I've been doing it for you while you were sick."
"Heero," Duo smiled affectionately, before changing the subject, "Does anyone else know about what happened?"
"No," Heero's grin faded, "I told them you had the flu."
"Well that was pretty easy," Duo laughed before saying with a sedate face, "Heero, did you stay by my side the whole time I was out?"
"Yes," Heero smiled looking truthfully into Duo's eyes, "I couldn't just leave you and not worry about you, could I?"
Duo's heart skipped, "Heero," he sat up, and Heero rushed over to lay him back down. He grabbed Heero's hand and held it firmly, "Heero, I thank you. You're a real guardian angel," Duo smiled, feeling loving warmth in his heart, "Heero, may I ask that you always stay by my side?"
Heero's eyes drooped with affection, and he embraced Duo tightly, "Yes, Duo Maxwell, I will."

A few months later:
The volume on the T.V. blared as it was turned up, "The newly discovered drug, Sinnomon or Type S has been studied over the past few months. Studies show the drug takes hold of the body and after extensive use; the body becomes dependent on the drug. The death count is now 200 and rising. Laws have been passed, making Type S illegal in the US. Anyone caught using the drug will be sentence with 40 years-"
"I was almost one of them," Duo muted the television.
"I thank God you weren't," Heero smiled and kissed his lover on the forehead.
Quatre smiled from his seat across from them, writing in his journal, 'Heero and Duo are the most happiest people I have ever seen. A month after Duo's predicament, they got together, something I never expected, seeing on how they were friends for years, never thinking of their friendship as more than that. This leaves hope in my heart for my new friend Trowa and I. We met a few weeks ago, during lunch at school. He had just moved here and hadn't any friends yet, and over ten minutes of introductions, we were the best of friends. Even though we've been friends for only a few weeks, we seem to be getting closer, and I'm finding myself attracted to him. I can only hope that life stays how it is, and hope nothing like this ever happens again.'
"C'mon, Q, let's go to the movies, what do ya say?" Duo smiled standing up giddily.
"That sounds fun!" Quatre smiled.
"We can even invite that Trowa boy your so fond of," Heero smirked.
"H-how did you know?" Quatre pressed his journal to his chest.
"I can see it in your eyes when you're around him. You like him," Heero's eyes held a smiling glint to them.
"Guess there's no denying it," Quatre said defeated, but somehow relieved.
"No sweat! Call him over!" Duo yelled, "The more, the merrier!"
In no time, the two grabbed their keys and coats and raced out the door, leaving Heero in the dust. He turned around, taking one more look before sighing contently, then shut off the lights.

Well, I don't know about the ending. You get the idea right? There was another plot to this fic but I had a feeling it would drag on, so I decided to end it here.
