~~~~*~~~~ At the Gun Point- Epilogue ~~~~*~~~~
{Heero's P.O.V}
//And as everything went black, he heard Quatre scream.//
Panting, I shot up in bed. My eyes were fuzzy and blurry. I couldn't see. Surprisingly, I panicked. No, I was terrified as hell! A bloodcurdling screech escaped my lips. I felt dead, I could barely breathe.
The sheets of my bed were tightened around my body, like a mummy's case and sweat dripped steadily off of my brow. My head was pounding and my throat hurt like a bitch. I saw my pillows lying motionless on the floor, and tears were streaming down my cheeks, unnoticed.
It is very uncommon for me to let tears flow without my consent. Something had defiantly disturbed me while I was sleeping. That's when I remembered it. The surreal feeling of everything around me now, and the solid state they were in moments previously must have been mixed up. Had it all been just a horrible dream?
Oh lord, so I hoped. I prayed. Why was I doing this when all I had to do was look over.
"Heero..." My name knocked me out of my mournful and hopeful reverie. I cast my glance to the bed beside me; the only light was the moon filtering in through the black cotton curtains.
There he lay, mumbling my name. His chestnut locks splayed out all over his pillow and his shoulders. The covers tucked up to his chest, just the way he liked them. Duo was sleeping ever so soundly, a slightly worried look on his face.
God, I was so happy to see him. I just couldn't believe my eyes. They were tricking me again. I was just groggy, right? Apparently not. His chest heaved up and down, over and over again, looking very, very real indeed.
I wasn't happy. I was enthralled! My dream, my nightmare was just that. There was nothing to worry about. Duo was there, in the bed next to me, just dreaming! And he said my name...
I felt the heat rise into my cheeks when the reality of the words set in. Duo was dreaming about ME! Was my dream correct? I knew I loved Duo, but I never had a clue as to what he was thinking. Whatever it was I was looking for, I was determined to find out.
I stumbled out of bed blindly, my hands groping for something stable to hold onto. I felt weak from my dream, even if it was my subconscious. I fell right on the edge of Duo's bed, the soft mattress sinking under my weight.
Duo looked like an angel, and he did it while lying there in all his glory. I tucked a long strand of hair away from his tan face to get a better look at him. His long eyelashes fluttered open, and I became nervous. I turned away and readying to leave, when his hand caught my wrist in a firm grasp.
"Heero." He wasn't sleeping anymore. "What are you doing?" he asked innocently. My heart pounded in my chest. I would ask him. Then I would tell him. Duo deserved to know, and I couldn't let it go as far as it had in my dream. No, I could NOT let that happen.
"I was..." 'Say you were just wondering if you love me' I told myself. Blunt but true. "I was just checking on you, you were mumbling in your sleep." No, bad Heero, bad!
"Oh" His voice sounded crestfallen, and I turned to him. I almost gasped aloud. The eerie lunar glow reflected in his violet optics so they were practically glowing as they stared at me. A small, fake smile played across his lips. "Are you sure?"
"NO!" I cried desperately, curling up beside him on top of the blankets. I put my head in my hands, frustrated. This was so much harder that it seemed. "Duo..."
"Yes?" He asked me calmly. His hands rubbed my back soothingly, and I tried to relax.
"Duo, do you...like me?" I asked through my hands. I was being a total coward, hiding behind my digits, but I just couldn't look at him.
A genuine smile, not the smirk, was obvious on his voice when he answered me. "Of course I like you Heero. It's part of being a pilot. You have to get to like everyone sooner or later, other wise you're as good as dead."
"No... I mean, really like me. As in more..." He froze and moved away from me.
"Heero..."
"Just answer the question okay."
"I...no. Heero no, I don't like you."
I swore I almost hit rock bottom right then. I felt like I was back in that horrible nightmare. Maybe I shouldn't have been so curious...I uncurled myself from my spot in a huff. I really needed to get back to the safety of my own covers. They wouldn't hurt me. Too much.
"I love you." Whirling around I came to face those eyes again. He was pleading at me through his eyes. "I'm sorry if you don't understand, I can't help my feelings for you. I have tried to be obvious Heero. I dropped hints even Relena could pick up. Just please. Lord please don't hate me for it."
I was shaking. Really, I was shaking. He wasn't expecting it when I flung myself on him, grasping the poor boy in a tight hug. I pressed my lips to his. I was rapturous ((A.N: Lets here it for my thesaurus! Whoo!)) and from that rock bottom feeling, I went sky high.
Duo was responding to my kiss, his hands holding the sides of my head, keeping me in place. This angel didn't deserve me. Yet he loved me. I knew now. I knew how we felt for each other. He had never left me in the first place. He would always be there for me. We would never let death pry us apart.
He is the best thing that's happened to me. And Duo sure as hell knows it.
"I love you Duo." "I love you too Heero."
OWARI!
Mistress Shinigami: Ha! It's over. *Sniff* so cute.
Karasu: Yuck.
Mistress Shinigami: Have you nothing positive to say to our fans out there?
Karasu: ...
Mistress Shinigami: ...
Duo: MONGOOSE!
Mistress Shinigami: Well, thanks to all our readers, my friends, and my thesaurus for helping me to actually conclude a fan fiction for the first time in my LIFE! *gasp for breath* I would totally appreciate it if you would Read and review for me. Maybe Karasu will actually say something nice!
Karasu: Got to hell.
Duo: HELL! WHOO!
Mistress Shinigami: PEACE OUT!
