Dear Quatre,
I am so sorry to have left without telling you. But I can't stay here anymore. I feel neglected and that I'm intruding on your lives. I know you'll try to look for me even if I ask you not to, but you won't find me. I am going to be working alone for a while .I have few things for all of you. In the Box, there is a dagger that was given to me by a dear friend. I want that to go to Heero. I know he appreciates fine craftsmanship just as much as Wufei. The book of poetry to Trowa, he'll enjoy it, I'm sure. The diary and the music sheets are for you, little bro. And for Wufei, give him the cross and the picture of sister Helen. Tell him that it is the only thing I have of my heritage and that I'm proud of it. He'll understand.
Take care of each other. And Quatre, take care of Wufei. I know he doesn't say it much, but he loves you. Don't ever let him go.
I love you all very much. And I'll never forget you.
Sayonara
-Duo Maxwell

Quatre read the whole thing, with tear-filled eyes. //Sayonara.// It sounded so final. The words became blurred as he read the end. //…only thing I have of my heritage...he'll understand… take care of Wufei..// Quatre frowned as he read them over and over again. Why did Duo mention Wufei so much?? He thought back to the times that the American and himself had spent together as his eyes cleared in realization.
//flashback//
"I think I'm in love with Wufei." Quatre confessed.
Duo choked on his glass of orange juice. "What?" He sputtered.
"I know its crazy but really, I think I have feelings for him." Quatre said, wringing his hands.
Something flashed in Duo's eyes. "So what are you going to do?"
//end of flash back//

Duo stood in front of the shuttle to L2. He was going back to where he came from. He closed his eyes, as his mid was flooded with memories.
//flashback//
Through the next few weeks, Duo noticed Wufei sneaking glances at the Arabian. One day while walking through the corridor, he heard a conversation from inside one of the rooms. He tiptoed over and put his ear to the door, listening.
"I don't know what to do." Wufei's voice came floating through.
"Go tell him." Trowa's smooth baritone voice replied.
"But what if he doesn't feel the same way?"
"Then he doesn't. You'll never know until you try." Duo's heart was breaking with every word.
"I guess you're right. I'll tell Quatre tomorrow." Wufei replied.
Duo turned and ran to his room, throwing himself on his bed, sobbing.
//end of flashback//
Duo smiled to himself. //And then what did you do?//
//flashback//
"Tell Wufei how you feel." Duo said. //good job, Duo, send your best friend to do the job that you should be doing.// His mind whispered.
"But what if he doesn't feel the same way?" Quatre protested.
"Just trust me on this." Duo said firmly.
Later that night, Duo stopped by the living room and saw Quatre and Wufei cuddling. He quietly backed out and went to his room. Once inside, he closed the door and leaned against it.
"Be happy, Wufei." He whispered, silver tracks going down his face. "Be happy, my love."
//end of flashback//
Duo shook himself of his daydreams and boarded the shuttle. Yes, he only hoped that Wufei was happy.

Quatre was still remembering all those times when Duo had matched them up. He had seen the American pilot glance at them longingly. No, not them, at Wufei. Quatre eyes widened and he dropped the letter, rummaging through the mahogany box until he found the black diary. Flipping the pages until he came to a few days before February 11th. That was the day when he and Wufei had gotten together. He stopped at January 31st entry.
…Quatre told me that he was in love with Wufei. And I know that Wufei feels the same. I heard a conversation between him and Trowa. Oh god, what am I to do? I love Wufei. For the first time in my life, I fell in love. And now that I know how he feels I'll never be able to tell. Only thing I can do is to get him and Quatre together. I want him to be happy. Even if it is not with me…
Quatre flipped a few pages ahead. To the date of February 11th.
…I saw them together tonight. They looked so happy. I wonder how it would have been if I were with him instead. But I guess there is no use in wishing for something that might have been….
Quatre was horrified as he read these. Duo had given up his love for him. His eyes filled with tears as he read the more recent entries.
June 29th.
Its happening again. Wufei seems to be mad at me for some reason. I can't even talk to him about it. And once again I'm the third wheel. Ain't life wonderful? Sometimes I wish I could just go off into a new world. My world. That's it! I haven't played the piano in a long time. Maybe that will help me….
Quatre shut the diary, tears streaming openly. God, he felt terrible. He knew that Duo had gone through a lot in the past and now he had taken away the only chance Duo had at loving someone. He put the book back in the box and carried it to downstairs, to the living room, where he saw Wufei reading a book. Or rather staring at it. He put it down and walked over to the couch where the Chinese man sat. Usually he would have sat down and cuddled, but right now he was reluctant to touch the other.
"Duo's gone." He said softly. Wufei merely glanced at him before going back to his book. "I want to find him." He continued. "Will you help me?"
"If Maxwell left, he clearly did so on his own." Wufei said, this time not even glancing up.
"How can you say that?" Quatre asked horrified. "Duo is one of our friends. We must find him and bring him back."
Wufei was getting pissed by now. He stood up, the book falling out of his hands. "Why do you care all of a sudden what happens to him?" he yelled. "If anything, he doesn't deserve to be with us. He invades our privacy constantly. He went into my shrine room yesterday. No one is allowed in there. And he took out my sword. That is my heritage. He has no heritage. He's just a damn slut."
Quatre took a step back. "Did you say that to him?" He choked out.
"How-"
"DID YOU SAY THAT TO HIM?" Quatre shouted.
"YES I DID! AND I DON'T SEE HOW IT MATTERS!" Wufei yelled back.
"IT MATTERS VERY MUCH!" Quatre cried. "You don't know anything about him…"
"Then why don't you tell me, Quatre? Since you seem to know him well." Wufei taunted.
"For god's sake, Wufei, Duo was raped!"
