Note: Duo's point of view.

Why Did You Mess With Forever?

I really doubt that drinking was the best way to handle my surprise. I didn't know if I should even tell him that the person on the phone was me, come to think of it, it's kind of creepy that we met after that little incident. Maybe it's one of those fate things, like it was meant to be. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into this situation, in fact I should be embracing it with open arms. I just couldn't help it though he was so close I could kiss him and I know he wouldn't care. But I'm just afraid, afraid that he'll leave me again regardless of what he's said or saying.

We both got off the plain and went to go and find our luggage, but low and behold my stuff is not there. So Trowa walked with me to the Lost Luggage department and I walked up to the desk where this girl with two huge curly pig-tails and bright red lipstick was doing her nails.

"What can I help you with sir?" she asked while still focusing on her nails.

"Yes well I can't find my luggage I think it got lost."

"Has your plane landed yet?" I couldn't help but look at her like she was the stupidest person in the world, Trowa found it quite amusing and was now laughing.

"No princess I'm just having an outer body experience, I'm just checking on my luggage!" (1) that got Trowa laughing again, in fact even harder.

"Don't take that tone with me sir!" she glared at me.

"Look just find my luggage!" Trowa ended up leaving the room, find by me the little jerk couldn't stop laughing .

About twenty minutes later I finally got my luggage and on the way to finding a cab we discovered that we were staying at the same hotel, how nice. The driver said it would take about forty-five minutes to there because of the traffic. I fell asleep again I don't think I could take being in Trowa's presence much.

While I was asleep I dreamt about the day we spilt up, it was actually the last thing I wanted to remember at the moment. But maybe it was best for me to remember that event so that I could relive the pain I felt at the moment. The whole thing played like a horrible movie where I could taste, touch, feel, and breathe the moment.

I had just came by to get my things, it didn't feel the same walking in. Like something inside me was twisting and just wouldn't stop moving. He held the door open for me and just kept looking at my face, but I did my crying at home. I was numb from the inside out. I just had to know so I asked-

"Was it worth the price you paid for my never coming back?" He just stared blankly directly at me, but it was like some part of him didn't want me to leave.

"We'll find out?"

"It's such a long time to be unkind, Trowa, and don't think of me as cruel if later you regret your choice and want me back and I say no."

"Duo, one more before you leave................please." it was stupid of him to even say such a thing I'm not as dumb as that. Oh but God I wanted to so bad.

Suddenly I was shaken awake, we had arrived at the hotel and I was more than glad to have gotten there. Trowa kept staring at me like I had something on my face and every time I turned to address him he would quickly just turn his head. We both walked up the man in front of the desk. And he found my room and while I signed for my room he was going to take care of Trowa.

"I'm sorry sir, but I cannot find your reservation it is not in our data base perhaps it was a different hotel."

"Oh you have got to be kidding me. Look at least just try and find my name maybe you mixed it up or something." I watched at Trowa leaned over the counter to try and see into the mans screen as he looked for Trowa's name. I wonder if this is some kind of sick joke God is playing on the both of us.

"Oh here it is sir, but it seems you have booked a room for next year." I really couldn't help but laugh at that. Never has Trowa ever done something so, so, so, well so me. I've done the exact same thing five times already.

"My Trowa planning another trip already!" I said as I grabbed my key and started to walk toward the elevator.

"Duo that's not funny!" I couldn't help it he ran his fingers threw his bangs and there was a light tinge to his tan completion, which added to the overwrought look on his countenance.

"I beg to differ Tro, but you know what I'm going to do you a favor and you can bunk with me tonight. But if you don't behave yourself you're going to end up sleeping on the couch, got it." I said the whole thing in a laughing tone. He just mutely followed me to the elevators.

I had obtained a room on the top floor I always loved heights, Trowa was another story the poor guy was afraid to go near the balcony when I had opened the large framed glass doors.

"I really is a nice room Duo, you even got a king size bed. Still move in your sleep I see." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. Probably another quirk he picked up from his terrible ex.

"Can it Trojan."

"Sorry, forgot you're serious now." I walked over to one of the drawers and started to put my clothes away, but turned my head and watched as he plopped down on the bed. I bit my lower lip, a habit I had required during my small amount of time spent with Heero. Quickly I turned my head back to the drawer and continued to put my clothes away. I sighed, this really wasn't the smartest thing for me to do now was it?

"I think I'm going to go and take a shower and wash the plane smell off of me."

"What plane smell?"

"If I have to explained than we have a problem." And then he closed the bathroom door behind him. Self-consciously I picked up my shirt and sniffed it, and dear lord I wish I hadn't!

"I knew you would do that." he just shook his head and laughed.

"Just hurry up so I can shower." I promptly threw a sock at him.

Later after I had taken my own shower we took a tour of the town, which wasn't that great. We ate dinner at some place I thought was someone's house, I had a stake medium-well, but you don't care now do you. We decided it would be nice to walk the rest of the way home, lord knows what possessed us to think that. So about half way to the hotel we stopped at a bridge and just watched the water pass under it, the rhythmic sounds of water splashing against the shore was so soothing. Five minutes later we picked right back up and started walking, or well Trowa did. I stood at the bridge a few seconds longer just watching Trowa walk. Everything inside me kept telling me to run to him, throw my arms around him tell him nothings wrong, that we could forget everything that happened and just keep going on like nothing went wrong.

"But wrong was what you were, Trowa, when you forgot we were going on." I heard myself whisper.

Quickly I caught up to Trowa and couldn't help but stare at him. I was going to lose I just know it, not that this is a game or anything, but something was going to happen I just knew it.

"Duo you've been awfully quite since we left the restaurant is something wrong?" everything Trowa, everything.

"No."

"Duo I know you and with you nothings ever not wrong, especially when you immediately deny."

"Fine, something's wrong, happy?" I started to walk in front of him and crossed my arms in the process.

"Just as long as you're not in denial. So what's wrong." I turned my head over my shoulder and quickly glanced at him.

"Have you ever felt that life could be so much more better than it is right now?" I kicked a rock on the ground and watched it skid across the pavement. "That one thing, one thing could make someone's life so perfect? A person could be made happy by just one smile, one touch, one breath, or even one kiss?"

"I'm missing something in my life, you are too aren't you?" I simply nodded my head.

"For some time now Tro."

"Hm-mm." He just stuck his hands in his pockets and we continued to walk.

We got home around midnight, and while Trowa brushed his teeth I got changed. When I got into the bathroom I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I stared at my reflection for lord knows how long and tried to find every imperfection. Trying to find different reasons why Trowa would have ever wanted to leave me, but all I could find was me.

When I walked back into the room Trowa was already laying down in the bed and facing the window. I walked over to my side of the bed and laid down, I stared at his back for about fifteen minutes then let my mind wonder. After about an hour of listening to my thoughts I wanted to smack Trowa for being such a huge idiot.

All I could hear was your voice asking that one stupid question- "Duo, one more before you leave................please."

Trowa, you asked to kiss me once goodbye, but you already did, on somebody else's lips.

A/N: So how was that? Hope it was worth the wait.

One: Have you ever watched the Blue Collar ((is that right?) Comedy Tour? That is too funny! If you haven't watched it yet you should.
