Sorry it took so long (actually it didn't take that long), but I wrote
pretty much 3 different versions of chapter 2 and I wasn't satisfied
with either the first or second, although if you'd like to read the
second, you can find it here:
geocities[DOT]com[SLASH]starlight[UNDERSCORE]m3[SLASH]whoareyou2[DOT]txt
(Sorry, I had to write it that way since ff.net doesn't allow URLs.
Replace [DOT] with a . and replace [SLASH] with a / and [UNDERSCORE]
with the ShiftDash (next to the #0)) The first and second were just
variation of the same thing, but I liked the second one more I didn't
like it because 1) it reminded me more of Shuichi and Eiri's
relationship (from Gravitation). Also I thought it was just 2) a filler
chapter if I used that 3) There wasn't much of a plot progression,
rather I just complicated matters since there was something wrong with
Heero 4) I wasn't able to describe how Heero felt, I should be able to,
I can't just have a footnote everywhere I feel like it (refer to the
[1]) 5) I don't think Heero would just say 'amnesia'. First I tried
'You didn't expect me to know?' But then I'm like 'Heero's always sure
of himself, and besides, why would he say something stupid like that.
6) And what's up with ice cream after a trauma? XD

Duo sat apprehensively in silence, waiting for a response. The expression on Heero's face was unreadable as he held his cup still and rested against his lips. Incomprehensible voices drifting around them seemed to have drowned time as the two sat motionless. Finally, Heero took a sip from his coffee and set it down. "If that's who you are," Heero said with a simple, apathetic tone.
Those simple words crushed Duo's spirits. The apathy in Heero's voice instantly changed Duo's mood; the positive atmosphere that constantly surrounded Duo was replaced with a somber one. The embarrassment on his face disappeared the moment the words had hit him. Anger was rushing through him as he gripped the handle of the cup tightly with a shaking hand. "That's just it, Heero! I don't know who I am!" Duo shouted as he stood up, slamming the cup down onto the table and stirring the others around him, including Heero.
Heero expected Duo to apologize as it was in his nature to do so, but this time Duo only snickered and sat back down. By now everyone had directed their attention toward Duo's table, staring in confusion. The uncomfortable atmosphere lingered in the air until Heero broke the silence when he called for the check. Slowly, the cafe regained its usual activity and the occupants continued their conversations.
---
It was now after the incident in the cafe, and Duo had suggested to go somewhere peaceful. Heero had obliged and lead Duo to a forgotten trail coursing its way into a forest. They had been walking in silence for nearly 20 minutes before they finally reached a stop at a river, as if it was purposely hidden there to preserve itself from machinery. Near the bank of the river was a large bolder with a flat surface for them to sit on. Golden rays from the sun danced before them as the leaves of the trees above them swayed in content. The two sat watching the river flow in a perfect ambience as the wind gently kissed the water. The faint sound of the rushing water made the place almost seem surreal.
"There's something that I want to know; something I want to remember, Heero. The question 'Who was I?' keeps ringing in my head... but I don't care to know what happened, what I've done or where I from, nothing like that. I just feel like there's something I need to discover," Duo thought out loud, his eyes never leaving the animated waters; for some reason, he wanted Heero to hear. "So... If it's okay with you, I'd like to stay with you until I find myself... I can sleep on the couch if you want; it doesn't matter to me."
Heero closed his eyes as he laid himself flat against the stone. "You're welcomed to stay as long as you want. There's no other place for us anyways."
---
A drop of water splashed onto Duo's cheeks, stirring him awake. "Heero...?" Duo asked opening his eyes. Another drop of rain and he closed his eyes again; it had hit too close to his eyes. Tiny beads of water continued to fall from the sky, and the ones that hit Duo made him shiver. Sitting up, he shielded his eyes from the rain with his hand and realized that he was alone. The forest had dimmed and the sky was grey from above the trees.
There was something wrong with his legs; when he tried to stand, his knees numbed and he fell against the cool surface of the earth. His bangs were becoming soaked as more water hit him. He felt himself loose control as his eyes became bleary and his vision tainted.
Heero's figure suddenly appeared a few paces before Duo. There was a haunting look on Heero's face as he smiled down at the vulnerable person before him.
"Heero, don't look at me like that!" Duo shouted as he shut his eyes and covered head. He felt cold, so very cold. Is it you Heero? Are you trying to freeze me to death? "Stop it! Why must you always be so cold?!" Duo shouted as strong hands began shaking him.
"Duo!" The call sounded far away, yet the voice was recognizable. More water, so much water to drown in.
Slowly raising a shaky hand to his eyes, he willed himself to open them. He saw Heero, who was soaking wet, staring down at him, dripping with rain. He realized that he was no longer crouched against the earth, but rather lying back against the stone's surface. "Hee-ro..." Duo whispered in a croak. It wasn't until he felt his lips shaking as he spoke that he realized he was shivering and completely, deathly cold.
"Hang on, Duo!" Heero shouted against the pouring rain.
---
Somehow, Heero had carried Duo's heavy body through deep forest and the downpour definitely didn't help. He felt guilty; it hadn't even been 24 hours and he had already landed Duo back in bed. The cover was warmly wrapped around Duo's feverish body and a cool wet cloth was spread against his forehead.
Heero sat once again next to the bed. Slowly he reached his hand towards Duo's and squeezed it. He stared down at Duo, whose lips had just managed to loosen its deathly purple color. His gaze traveled over Duo's face and to those long brown locks of hair that was connected to it. Without thinking, he carefully drew the long brain towards him and took off the elastic band. Slowly and carefully, he began unbraiding; weaving his finger carefully between the folds and loosening them. Every once in awhile, he would comb the unbraided parts of Duo's hair with his fingers. Even though he had took his time, it seemed that he was done in a matter of seconds when it really had been an half an hour. He stared at his completed work. The long locks of hair were now spread across the right side of Duo. The perfect color of brown was set before Heero's eyes and he had an urge to grab it, to lay it against his cheek just to feel how real they were.
