I'm back!! Ya know how boring Kansas is in the winter? Snooz-o-rama. I did get back from my dad's early and so here is the new chapter.

I know how I haven't done one of these in a while, but might as well start now *sigh*

DISCLAIMER: I don not own The Gundam Wing characters what so ever. All I own is Ashleigh and the made up characters (I wish I did own the GW characters though *pouts*)

When Duo returned to his room he found Ashleigh curled up in his chair with a blanket over her.

"What are you doing?" He asked with taking one look at her.

"Letting you have your bed." She said her eyes closed

"DO you actually think i'm gonna let you sleep in that chair?"

"Yes."

"Are you tempting me?"

"Do you want me to?"

"Are you always cocky when you're sick?"

"Yes is that a problem?" She opened one eye to look at him then closed it immediately, "I'm sleeping here and there is nothing you can say to change my mind."

"Whatever you say." He shrugged and went to his closet.

"What are you up to?" She opened her right eye and eyed him.

"I don't know what you mean."

"You're planning something. I can tell. You never give that easy."

"You assume too much of me."

"Someone should."

"I'm offended." He turned around and gave her his best puppy face, "I was going to wait to do this once you were asleep, but with that comment i'm gonna do it now."

Duo shut his closet door and walked over to Ashleigh then picked her up.

"What are you doing? Put me down!" She yelled and squirmed like her life depended on it causing Duo to almost drop her.

Once he got to the side of the bed that was the furthest from the chair he set down the pouting Ashleigh.

"You said I couldn't talk ya out of it so why not just move ya?" He smirked at his accomplishment

"You little sneak. What makes you think i'm gonna stay here?" She tired to get up with no avail.

Duo had pinned her down seeming to already to know her plans.

"Look i've had to sleep on cold, hard cement for the past couple of nights. I think I can handle sleeping in a chair okay." He looked straight into her eyes to prove his point.

Ashleigh turned her head away from him and looked at the wall. "I know when i'm beaten." She mumbled.

"You know you are really stubborn, but that's a good point about you as are a lot of things." He said he let her go and sat next to her.

"Do you want to know why I refuse to sleep in my room?" She asked still looking at the wall as she sat up.

"Yea."

"It's because of a dream I had when you and Wufei left. I woke up with a wired felling that morning and it wasn't because of the fact that I was sick. For some reason I felt vulnerable. In my dream I was laying in my bed really sick and then soldiers came from the shadows and kidnapped me. With some of the dreams I have are like premonitions. When I try to avoid them they end up coming true." She brought her knees up to her chest and put her head on them, "So to sum it up, i'm afraid of a dream." She gazed at her feet.

* * *

"What are you three doing?" Wufei asked Heero, Trowa, and Quatra who were lined up along Duo's door with their ears pressed to it.

They toppled over at his voice.

"Um..........nothing...............just making sure Ashleigh and Duo don't fight." Trowa said quickly.

"Maxwell and the onna are not going to be happy once they find out you guys have been eavesdropping."

"Dammit. You made me miss why she refuses to sleep in her room." Heero pouted.

Ashleigh sat on the bed staring into space for about 5 min before she hid her face in her knees. She inhaled deeply and closed her eyes.

'That dream was so realistic. I know i'm being ridiculous, but I go with my feelings and they are never wrong.' She thought as she drifted to sleep.

Duo was staring at her with concerned eyes then sweat dropped when Ashleigh let go of her legs and fell onto her side asleep. 'Staring into space one minute then asleep the next. Man this girl has it easy if she does that.' Duo thought as he straightened her out on the bed and pulled the covers over her, 'I've never really noticed this, but she seems to have multiple personalities. She can be cheerful one minute and pissed off the next. It's like there is two of her. One that is like a child and another that is, well, destructive. Kind of like me except my cheerfulness is just a mask, sometimes.' He kissed her forehead and stood up, but before he could go to his chair a hand grabbed his wrist.

"Please don't sleep in the chair because of me Duo." Ashleigh looked up at him.

Duo knelt next to the bed and looked at her, "Where else am I going to sleep?"

"Right there." She motioned her head to the empty spot on the bed, "I don't mind. I just don't want you to suffer cause of me."

"I'm used to sleeping in chairs or on floors. I don't want to-"

"Just listen to me please Duo. I put my friends in front of me and try to make them feel comfortable and happy. Besides if you don't go now i'll put you there myself and i'll sleep in the chair."

"Fine fine." He rolled his eyes and walked to the other side of the bed.

"Thank you."

"Goodnight." He told her as he go underneath the covers and laid down.

"Goodnight Duo." Ashleigh leaned over and kissed him on the cheek (he is on his right side by the way).

'She always gets to me. It's like she knows what I have went through and is trying to make me feel loved, but she's not like me though. She has a family and someone to love her. I don't. I guess I could feel loved cause she said she loved me and trusted me right off when she got here. Does that count?' Duo was brought out of his thoughts when Ashleigh kissed him on the cheek and put a hand on his shoulder before she rolled over to her side, 'It must count cause I love her too. All I thought about while I was in that prison was getting out and coming back to her no matter what I did to do it.' He thought some more as he turned over to face Ashleigh.....actually her back. She was laying on her left side now.

Duo just laid there looking at her back for a few moments till he scooted over and put his arm over her side and rested his hand on her stomach. A few moments later Ashleigh placed her hand over his and laced fingers with him. They fell asleep like that.
