After threats to do bodily harm to me by my …err…friends…I have decided that it is finally time to get off my lazy ass and write something…so forgive me if this is a bad chapter...I have writer's block… one of the reasons why Heero is EXTREMELY OOC.

"Why is he blind?" Quatre demanded. He and the others had found out when they had heard Duo yelling. Now Quatre was threatening the doctor and behind the Arabian, Trowa and Wufei stood menacingly.
"The tests seem to report that a chemical from the explosives caused the blindness. We drained it out but it has damaged Mr. Yuy's eyes for a while. It is probably temporary but I cannot assure you of anything." The Doctor looked fearfully at the three young men in their preventers' uniform.
Quatre turned away exasperated. "Gah! Stupid! Une should have briefed them fully on the mission!"
"Calm Down, Qat." Trowa put his hands on his boyfriend's shoulders and steered him towards the chairs.
"I'm going to head back to the Preventer headquarters and see what I can come up for the chemical." Wufei nodded to the other two and left through the glass doors.
Meanwhile…
"It'll be okay, Heero. The doctor said it was only temporarily." Duo tried to soothe the sullen Japanese pilot.
"He said probably." Heero replied staring of into space. Or into darkness actually. "There is no chance that it WILL happen."
Duo shook his head. He refused to believe that Heero could be permanently blind. "No. You'll be fine. You WILL regain your sight." His own eyes had started to tear up and his voice became choked.
"Duo…" Heero reached out towards the general direction of where he thought Duo was. The American pilot grasped the hand and held it tightly. Heero was at a loss of words. He knew it wouldn't be just alright. He just squeezed the hand in comfort.
"Tell Lady Une that I'm resigning."
Duo looked up in shock. "No. You will be given a temporary leave. I will Not, I repeat, NOT let this come in the way of what you want to be, understand, Yuy?"
Heero almost chuckled. Almost. Whenever Duo used his last name, it meant that he was dead serious. "Okay. Temporary leave it is."

Heero was discharged a couple of days later, with the doctor order to come every week for check ups. Quatre, Trowa and Wufei came to see Heero back to his and Duo's apartment and then left with promises to be back soon.
Duo could see that Heero was tired. He was on crutches since one of his legs was broken and trying to do something when you are blind took up a lot of energy. Seeing Heero slumped on the couch bonelessly, led him to his decision.
"Come on, koi." Duo went over to the couch and picked him up effortlessly, mindful of the broken leg.
"Ah! Duo! What are you doing? I can walk, um…limp...er whatever! I can-"
Duo interrupted him. "Hush. You are going to bed right now. It's no fun seeing a half-dead Heero trying to do something."
Heero smiled ruefully. "I prefer to think I'm half alive." Nevertheless he stopped protesting and let Duo carry him to wherever.
"Oh shut up." Duo laid him down on their bed and kissed him lightly. "Now sleep. I have to make a few phone calls."
Heero tugged him down. "Later. Stay here with me." Duo let himself be dragged down and wrapped his arms around the Japanese pilot. Heero, in turn, nestled his head right underneath Duo's chin, the side of his face resting over Duo's heart, drifting of to sleep in the presence of the steady sound of his lover heartbeat.
