Chapter 2
Things for Duo were going better. His wound was healing and he was getting better. Quatre and Trowa went to see him whenever they could. But there was still no word from Heero yet.
"Where did that bastard go anyways?"Duo asked.
"Well,remember the guy who shot you?"
"Yeah."
"He was going to go find and kill him."
"No...Heero would never do that. Good god. But why?"
"I guess it's because he cares about you Duo."
"But I could've gone and killed him myself,"he tried to get up but stumbled.
"Hey Duo. Settle down there. You should rest and not get up until you're supposed to."
He let out another painful groan. "I'm sorry Quatre. I didn't know this was going to happen."
"It's ok Duo. Just be careful ok? I don't want you to be in here any longer than you have to,ok?"
"Yeah,I know. I didn't know what I was thinkin'. I guess my imagination just got a little ahead of me there. So,where's Trowa? He's not workin' is he?"
"You said it. He's back at the circus with Catherine."
"I'm not surprised. I have to get back to work as soon as I'm out of here. I miss Hilde to much."
"Has she called yet?"
"Yeah,last night. She has that if I don't get back home by tomorrow night,she might as well kick the doctor in the butt and tell him that I'm fine and that I need to come back home and work."
Quatre started laughing. "Are you serious?!"
"Dead serious. My god. You should've seen her face. But yeah,she was totally serious about it."
"Well,I guess that's what you get when you're almost married."
"Well,you do have a point there,"he sighed and looked at his arms. Quatre frowned,worried.
"How is it?"
"Not to bad. It doesn't hurt that much anymore. But I lost about 10% of blood because of it."
"I'm just glad it wasn't Heero."
"Me neither,"he let out another painful groan. Quatre looked at the wound. He's not getting better,he thought. He's getting worse. Why don't they see that?
"Duo,are you sure you're ok?"
"Yes Quatre,I'm fine. Why?"
He sighed. "Your arm looks worse to me. I mean, just look at it."
He moved his head over so he could see his right shoulder. My god,he thought. He's right. I am getting worse.
"Quatre,thank you so much for telling me this."
"Should I go get a doctor?"
Duo's breath was starting to get slower. "Y-Y-Yeah,sure."
"Oh my god! Duo!"he rushed out of the room and got a doctor.
"I can't believe this happened,"said Trowa after Quatre told him what happened. "Those are the best doctors in the whole colony.
"Should I tell Hilde?"
"Naw. Duo'll tell her. If he gets a chance."
"I just can't believe this. What if he gets worse Trowa?"
Trowa put his hand around Quatre's shoulder. "I promise he'll get better Quatre. Don't worry about Duo. He usually pulls through."
"I hope..."he sighed and looked at Trowa.
"Hey now. Don't look at me like that. I don't want to see you cry over Duo. He'll be fine alright?"
He smiled. "I'm sorry Trowa. I promise."
Trowa smiled,gave him a hug,and kissed Quatre on the forehead. "Now let's go somewhere else. I can't stand seeing you sad like this."
"Alright. I'm really sorry Trowa."
"Hey. Don't worry about it. Your emotions are just getting way ahead of you. C'mon...let's go,"Quatre took his had and they left the building."
"So I'm guess Duo isn't coming home anytime soon?"Wufei asked when Trowa and Quatre came home with no Duo.
"And you guessed right,"said Trowa.
"Very funny. What happened to him?"
"The doctors were really stupid and aren't really helping him. We're going to sue them and get Duo transferred to another hospital."
"Whoa,whoa! Did you just say that you're going to sue the doctors at the hospital?!"
"Yeah."
"Oh. Well then...I might as well help then. But what happened to Duo?"
"Well,let's just say he was getting worse than we thought."
"Oh god."
"I don't want to talk about it a lot,"he whispered in Wufei's ear. "Quatre isn't taking this very good."
Wufei nodded. "I understand. I won't worry about it,"but right at that second,Heero came in from work.
"Sorry I'm late,"he said.
"It's alright,"said Trowa.
He looked around for a second and whispered into Trowa's ear. "I'm guessing things aren't going great with Duo?"
"Shh...I want to talk about it when Quatre's in bed. I don't want him to get so worked up about Duo getting worse. This just isn't the best time for him."
He nodded. "Sure thing,"he looked at Quatre,who was looking at the window. He's probably hoping that a miracle will happen,he thought. And a miracle usually does happen to one of us. I just hope Duo get's better. I can't stand seeing Quatre like this. It just isn't right.
"Well,so how are things looking for Duo?"Heero asked after Trowa got off the phone with the doctor and Quatre had gone to be bed. "In ways,I think we should stil sue them. Duo isn't getting much better. He needs to get transferred to another hospital,but they said we they did that,he might...die."
"I think we should get him transferred,"said Wufei. "Things would be a whole lot pretty if we just did that and got over with it. We can't stand seeing Quatre like this."
"I know. I just don't know about getting him transferred though. I don't want him to die. Quatre might go crazy again and try to kill people again."
"You've got a point,"said Heero. "But also does Wufei. I think we should get him transferred and see what happens. It's for the best."
"Well,I guess it's ok. But if he does,don't come to me and start cryin'. It's going to be both your faults."
"We know Trowa. And we're sure that he'll be ok."
He sighed. "I hope."
