What to say? To start off if I would have known "Death and Silence" would have such impact on my future writing I might have thought more about posting it. I know, I know what am I talking about and what dose all that have to do this fic? Well if you've read "Death and Silence" then you might get it for those of you that have not let me explain. "Death and Silence" was my first ever 2X3X2 fic, as in posted and in written, and since then I've written a lot more of them. This one just happens to be one of the ones I've gotten around to typing.

I'm sure some of you are asking why those two? They never really interacted and what about the traditional pairings? True enough they did not interact that much but when they did you remember it. Like when Duo finds Trowa, saves him, and comments on his name in EW for example. Besides it is quite simple to find 1X2X1 and 3X4X3 fics on FFN or where ever. Non- traditional are harder to find because I guess a lot of writers don't us them. Besides I like the paring and it's my account.

Gundam W aka Gundam Wing is not mine. If you know of any good Gundam Wing Yoai AMV sites please send to me. Keke.

Warnings: YAOI, blood, langue, some dark humor, may make you like this pairing.

Duo sighed as he folded his arms on the back of the black leather coach he had taken to call the 'The Coach of Pain'. So named since the others, and himself a few times, often crashed on it after rough missions rather then dragging themselves upstairs. There had been a cream colored couch there but it hadn't lasted very long, Duo had hated it anyway.

"Hey Tro do you know you're hands are all bloody? Are you ignoring me or you did really die this time?" Duo asked walking around the couch. "You could at lest grunt or something? You know give me some inaction you're still alive?" He frowned as he placed two gentle fingers to Trowa's throat sighing in relief when his finger felt warmth and a pulse. "Why is it when some of us go out to play we come back a bloody mess? Some of us need to learn to play nice with other."

Duo teased placing his hand on Trowa shoulder considering trying to wake him. "Hun?" Duo blinked pulling away his hand. He turned it over and blinked at the blood spots on his palm. "What did you do to yourself this time?" He asked before partially unbuttoning Trowa's black button down and pulling it away to expose the other's right shoulder. The sleeping boys upper arm and shoulder were white except for a few bloodstains on the shoulder.

"Cat's gonna mad when he sees this." Muttered when something caught his attention. He leaned forward and ran his fingers threw Trowa's dark blood red hair his fingers catching on the locks glued tighter with dried blood. His fingers brushed a long thin scab and he nodded glad it was nothing too bad.

"What the Hell are you doing to Barton you pervert?" Wufei demanded. Duo jumped he had completely forgot how close he was to Trowa.

"Wu man don't do that." Duo teased turning.

Wufei crossed his arms frowning. "Stop calling me that. Why were you leaning on Barton?" Duo put his fists on his hips getting annoyed with Wufei's accusing attitude.

"You ever try finding a wound in red hair in the dark?" Duo asked allowing his annoyance to show.

"And the shirt?" Wufei countered unable to see the white because Duo was blocking his view.

Duo held up his bloodied hand. "It's called concern for a bleeding buddy. God Wufei you're sick minded."

Wufei snorted. "With you what else would I think?"

"I'm going to bed now. Good bye Wufei." Wufei snorted before glancing at the sleeping Trowa. ~Hum?~

********************************************************

"mmm."

"Hey you ok?" Trowa nodded sitting up. Duo placed his hands on Trowa's shoulders. "Hey take it easy hun? You don't heal quite as fast as Hee-chan and if you look too pathetic Cat will strap you down in bed just like he did to poor Hee-chan"

"Heero had two broken legs and a concussion. " Trowa reminded resting his head in his left hand.

"Yeah well you're Cat's fave so don't move."

Trowa turned his head to stare at him. "You want me to spend all day on the coach?"

Duo bit his lip. "Ok so I didn't think that idea threw...um.Ok up to your room it is."

"Americans." Trowa muttered absently using one of Wufei's favorite insults.

"Watch it Cyclops." Duo warned grinning. "Can you stand?"

"My legs are just fine Duo." Trowa answered standing. Duo caught him as he staggered.

"A little weak hun?" Duo asked surprised by how light Trowa was.

"Yes. Thank you." Duo blinked in surprise momentary taken aback by the thanks as well as the admittance of weakness.

"No big Cy I like helping people." Duo waved his hand in casual dismissal while in the back of his mind hoping Trowa didn't notice his surprised pause. Trowa said nothing so he grinned. "Just promise you won't blow my baby up anymore?" Duo teasing asked.

Trowa nodded. "Done."

Duo gently patted his head. "Good Cyclops. So what when boom near your shoulder?" He asked planning on using the information to judge just how badly his friend was hurt.

"You know about shrapnel explosives right?"

"Yeah really nasty fuckers. You know we really should invest in some they'd be great fun in those automated plants. What do you think?" Duo asked as they started walking.

"I guess so."

"So did one hit you?"

"Short of."

"Forget I asked. Oh yeah Cat and Hee-chan went to the Sank some Preventors stuff."

"Missions?"

"No some political bullshit." He snorted. "Cat probably would have taken you to but you had to go blow the Hell out of whatever. It looked great on the News by the way." Duo smiled at the wincing Trowa. "You ok?"

"I will heal."

"Yes I know that but that's not what I'm asking you. I am asking you if you are ok right now? At this moment in time?"

"I've had worst."

Duo frowned. "Sore as Hell hun? Wait how can Hell be sore?"

Trowa blinked at him. "What?" *The guy shot a cross if half how much do you think he knows or cares about the Christian faith?*

"I mean Hell is Hot right?" Duo continued not hearing Trowa's question. "So Cold as Hell really doesn't' work either. That is unless you mean cold as in uncaring or unfeeling? If you look at it that way then sore dose work if you're referring to the tortured souls? Hum..?" Duo blinked at the confused look Trowa gave him. "Sorry I was thinking out loud again hun?"

"Yeah."

"Too much sugar will do that to you sorry." Duo apologized as he opened the door. Trowa nodded but made no comment. "Hey there's a red light blinking on that thingy there?" Duo informed Trowa glancing at the desktop and all it's little friends.

"Just an e-mail." Trowa answered sitting down on his bed.

"Can you rig me up one to?"

"Sure." Trowa sighed resting his arms on his knees.

"Thanks a ton." Duo smiled as he sat down beside him. "You need anything?"

"I'm fine Duo."

"Listen I won't tell Cat how messed up you are ok? And since the walking machine gun stayed home there's no scrap heap as evidence."

"You are a very shrewd person Duo." Duo smiled knowing full well that was a compliment.

"I try." Trowa nodded. "Am I driving you nuts?"

"No, why?"

"Just tell me if I start ok?"

"Sure Duo."

Duo patted his head again. "Good Cyclops. Um can I ask you something?"

"If you want."

"Do you think I'm a pervert?"

Trowa blinked. "Explain?"

"Ok. Well see last night I was checking on you since I found you all passed out on The Couch of Pain. I checked out your shoulder and got some of the blood out of your hair and I so do not want to know. Anyway I'm all leaned over you because I'm afraid you might have seriously hurt you head and Wufei walks in and rants at me." Duo toke a breath and snorted.

"Calling me a perv even though he knows full well I often check on the couch's victims since I often do the insomniac thing and he has the nerve..." Duo growled slamming a fist into the bed before glancing at Trowa. "I see he left the shirt alone."

Trowa glanced at the half open shirt before turning his attention back to Duo. "You act like a normal American teenager Duo."

"So is that a yes or a no?" Duo asked confused.

"What did Wufei think you were doing?"

"Dude I so do not even want to know. Is it bad?"

"No just painful." Trowa answered placing a hand on his injured shoulder wincing slightly.

"You want anything for it?"

"Thank you but no."

"Hee-chan never thanks me. He just snaps or blows me off. Sometimes he makes it really hard for me to feel sorry for him." Duo sighed.

"Why?"

"Hun? Well um.see when someone is getting on your nevers it's hard to feel sorry for them."

"Why?"

"It just is." Duo admitted shrugging.

Trowa sighed tiredly. "I don't understand."

"I don't think anyone understands their emotions all the time. We all feel things we can't understand or hope to explain."

"Is that what is means to be." Trowa winced. "Human?"

"Well some people say it's to care about someone which you do." Duo smiled. "Look you're a cold calculating gun toting manic but in a good way. Your learning Tro just give it time ok?"

Trowa nodded. "Why is it you hardly ever say anything intelligent when Wufei is around?"

"Wufei is undeserving of my genius."

"That would break his heart."

"Is the Cyclops being sarcastic? There's hope for you yet. Trowa?!" Duo cried catching Trowa as he suddenly pitched forward. "Hey you ok?" He asked resting Trowa's head on his shoulder arms around him.

"Just tired." Trowa answered softly.

"You feel tired." Duo agreed tighting his grip on the other boy. "I know because Hee-chan feels like this when he's all busted up."

"How do you know that?"

"Experience my dear wounded Cyclops."

"Mmm hum." Trowa mumbled softly.

Duo rested his chin on Trowa's soft hair with a sigh. "Hey Cy?"

"Hum?"

"Wufei would so not be happy if he saw us now."

"He likes to be unhappy."

"So comfy there Cy?"

"Mmm hum."

"Good." Duo whispered closing his own eyes and just sat there holding Trowa close until he was sure the taller boy was asleep. "You have to stop doing this kind of stuff to yourself all the time. You don't want all of us to lose you again do you? Or your sis to kill us in our sleep? If you do you are cruel." Duo asked half teasing softly as he laid Trowa down.

"I mean it stop being a suicidal crazy person. These are not the old days you have people who care about you now." Duo reminded him pulling the covers up to his shoulders. "Like me." Duo gently pressed his lips to Trowa's before straitening. Trowa's lips parted slightly as he turned his head from him long bangs hiding his face from the other boy. "Sleep well." Duo whispered before leaving the room.
