//Goodbye Treize…//

These were Wufei's thoughts as he wearily headed back to the safe house. The battle was over…the war was done….all because of the vital information that Duo gave to Heero. The location, the OZ's main base, Where Treize was hiding out, what needed to be destroyed….everything. And in the end, Duo had not been able to come with them to fight.

He dropped off shenlong in the hanger and headed in, thinking about the conversation with Duo.

//flash back//

"Hey, Wufei."

"Hey…How are you doing?" Wufei mentally smacked himself for asking such a stupid question.

"Not bad…not good either.."

"Duo…I'm sorry about what…." He started to say, but Duo interrupted him.

"Oh, shut up." Wufei reeled back, shocked. "You did nothing to be sorry for…you were feeling protective of Quatre and your temper got the best of it."

"But I had no right to talk about your heritage and such. I'm so sorry duo. So sorry." Wufei took Duo's hand in his, and looked down.

A moment of silence passed. "Wufei?"

"Hm?" He looked up.

"I love you."

Wufei's eyes widened. He snatched his hand away. "Don't! Don't say that! You deserve someone so much better. You can't possibly love a bastard like me."

"Oh, but I do."

"Duo, please," Wufei pleaded. "Don't do this to me…"

"Wufei, listen to me," Duo placed a hand on the clenched fist that lay on his bed. "I know that there is no way that you can love me back. You're Quatre's and only his. I just had to say it to you, before…."

//before you died…// Wufei was able to catch the unfinished sentence.

"Duo…please."

The American pilot sighed. "All right. Fine. Lets talk about you. Who gave you the black eye?"

Wufei flushed. He mumbled something.

"What? I didn't quite catch that."

"Quatre." He repeated a little more loudly.

"Duo burst out laughing. "Quatre? Why did he do that?"

"He got mad that I yelled at you for coming on to him."

"No kidding?" Duo cracked up again, even though the motion caused him to end up coughing.

Wufei immediately reached for the glass if water, helping duo sit up and got some water into him.

"Better?" Wufei asked. Duo nodded, eyes drooping.

" Why don't you get some sleep?" Wufei said, pulling up the blankets and standing up.

"'fei?" Duo croaked. "Stay with me? Just until I fall asleep?"

Wufei smiled. "Sure."

//end of flashback//

Wufei changed his clothes and started out the door to visit the hospital. The others would be there soon.

Duo was looking even more tired when he arrived. Wufei went and sat next to him, taking the small fragile looking hand in his.

"You look tired." Wufei observed.

Duo gave a weak smile. "Well, that's to be expected. I've been coughing non-stop today."

"We won…"

"Yes, I found out." Duo smiled. "Congratulations."

"No, thank you. For the information. We would have never won other wise." Wufei squeezed the hand that he held.

"Ah, nonsense. You guys did it all by yourselves. Speaking of them, where are they?"

"We are here." Trowa said from the doorway. Quatre and Heero stood behind him.

"Hey guys. Good job. Looks like you'll finally be able to lead normal lives, ne?" duo said, winking, but there was a certain amount of sadness to it.

"WE'LL be able to lead normal lives duo. All of us. Including you." Quatre came to stand beside Duo, taking his other hand.

"Ah, Quatre…" Duo started to protest.

"Oh hush." Quatre silenced him. "Anyways, we came to celebrate the beginning of peace with you. Though you do seem rather tired." He checked Duo's forehead for temperature.

"Hm. I am." He closed his eyes. Suddenly his breathing started to get heavier, his chest rising up and down as he started to gasp for breath.

"Duo? Duo!" Quatre cried. He looked around wildly. "What's going on?" He asked, on the verge of hysterics.

"Someone get the doctor!" Wufei said, looking at Trowa. The Latin pilot nodded and set off immediately to find a doctor.

Meanwhile Quatre was freaking out. Duo clutched the hands that he held desperately. "Take…. care…. of…him..." He breathed out to Quatre. Turning his head, he looked at Wufei and smile, even as his last breath shuddered through his body. "I…love you…" With that his eyes closed, his body fell back on to the bed and a high pitched wine came from the machine that was monitoring his heart beat.

Wufei placed the limp hand that he held back on the bed and moved one step back. Duo looked so ethereal, covered in white sheets and the beautiful face. He had never had the chance to tell him. He had come to love him too.

Meanwhile Quatre was sobbing in Trowa's arms. "He's gone…. I can't believe he's gone…"

Wufei felt something wet on his face. He touched his cheek and was amazed at the damp ness. Tears? He hadn't known that he was capable of tears. Must have been on of the things that Duo had taught him. Emotion….
