As days went by, Duo grew weaker. He ate less and less, since eating anything caused him to throw up after the nightmares. If he slept. Lately he tried not to sleep at all, and he succeeded, living on the pills. Dark circles appeared under his sunken eyes, dull and empty. He grew quieter and the pilots noticed.

Quatre grew increasingly worried and was on Duo constantly like a mother hen. Even the others tried to force him to eat. But then again duo could always talk himself out of any situation. He always managed to slip by without really eating anything.

One day, late at night, Heero sat reading by the fireplace. It was a book about Egyptian tombs that Wufei had let him borrow. It was around 11:00 and everybody else was asleep, except for him. And Duo, of course. The American pilot was still at the preventer's office.

An insistent knocking sounded on the door, disturbing Heero from his reading. Thinking it was probably Duo, Heero made no move to open the door since all of the pilots had a key to Quatre's mansion. The knocking continued. The Japanese ex-pilot frowned and put down his book, walking to the door.

Opening it carefully, ready to knockdown any intruder and looked out. He found an exhausted looking Duo, standing with his dist raised to knock again.

"Hey." Came a croak.

"Duo, What happ-" That's all Heero was able to get out before Duo collapsed. Moving quickly he caught the boy before he hit the ground.

"Duo!" he shook the boy, trying to wake him up, but to no avail. Hefting the American up, he raced into the house and upstairs.

"Wufei! Quatre! Trowa!" He yelled as he rushed into Duo's room and placed him on the bed. The other three young men came running.

"Oh god! What happened?" Quatre cried as he saw Duo laying unmoving on the bed.

"I don't know. He knocked and when I opened the door, he collapsed." Heero replied.

"I knew it! He hasn't been eating or sleeping at all! Have you seen him? He's always so tired-"

"Quatre, calm down." Trowa said soothingly. Meanwhile Wufei had moved to the dresser.

"Look at this." He said. Three pairs of eyes moved to look at him. He held up an almost empty bottle.

"Caffeine pills."
