Chapter 5: Gone
Duo bounced to his feet as his doorbell paged him. His parents were both out as they were a few days ago when Heero had come. He opened the door and was surprised to see Heero's back turned to him. He had a black overcoat on - that was the only way Duo had recognized him.
Heero turned around when he heard the door open. One of his arms was hidden inside his coat and the other was through the sleeve. Heero smiled broadly, his eyes sparkling. Duo's eyebrows lifted in confusion. He'd never seen or heard of Heero acting this way. He stood aside to allow him inside as he muttered a hello.
Heero stepped inside and went to the living room while Duo shut the front door. Duo came in a moment later. "Heero, what's up?" he asked, watching Heero pace around in front of the couch.
"Duo..." He stopped and stood in front of him. Duo quirked an eyebrow. Heero hesitated and his eyes started to shimmer. He suddenly threw one arm around Duo. Duo could feel his other arm, harder than it should be, pressing against his chest. "God, Duo! It worked!" Heero cried into his shoulder.
Duo put his hands on Heero's shoulders and pushed him back to look into his tear streaked face. "What are you talking about, Heero?" He sat down on the couch and pulled Heero down next to him.
"Duo! Your plan! It worked! I did it and it worked!"
Duo's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. "You said you wouldn't do it!"
Heero shrugged a little. "Yea, well... I lied... I got to thinking about how it would be so perfect to get rid of him! So I installed a little camera in his room above his dresser where he couldn't see it and I put one in my room just in case. And it worked, Duo! It worked!" He once again threw an arm around Duo.
Duo once again felt that unnatural stiffness that was Heero's other arm. He pushed Heero back again and looked into the open coat at his arm. "Oh my God!" he cried on seeing the plaster of Paris around Heero's arm covered with a black coating.
Heero looked down also. "What? It's just a cast..." he said casually.
"He broke your arm?!"
Heero nodded. "Yea, but it was worth it! He's gone!" He once again hugged Duo tightly. Duo put an arm around his shoulders in return.
:: How can you see into my eyes like open doors : Leading you down into my core : Where I've become so numb without a soul : My spirit sleeping somewhere cold : Until you find it there and lead it back home :
"Do you want to tell me what happened?" he asked gently.
Heero shook his head against Duo's chest. "Not really... But I guess I can tell you a little bit since it was your idea." He backed up and met Duo's amethyst eyes. "The day after you told me your idea, I went ahead and installed one camera in his room and one in mine. I pretended to be asleep and that I forgot to lock my door. It was really late, so I acted like I was too tired to care what was going on because when I had first installed my locks, I pulled a knife on him." He stopped to take a deep breath. "He knew I wouldn't kill him, so he kept trying. But he basically hauled me into his room, hit me for locking my door for so long, and this happened-" He lifted his casted left arm. "-when he did it." He looked down and sighed. He didn't continue, so Duo assumed that that was all he was going to tell.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that again, Heero," he said quietly. Heero shook his head immediately.
"Don't be. It worked and that's all that matters." He looked up again and both remained silent for a while.
: (Wake me up) Wake me up inside : (I can't wake up) Wake me up inside : (Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark : (Wake me up) Bid my blood to run (I can't wake up) before I come undone : (Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become :
Duo then noticed a faint greenish-yellow line that Heero's usual makeup didn't conceal around his eye. Duo guessed that Heero's "step-father" had done quite a bit more that merely "hit" him. Beat like a rug perhaps would be a better description. He also noticed a strange intensity in Heero's eyes, as though ridding himself of his step-father would result in something fantastic. It made him a little nervous to meet that intense gaze.
: Now that I know what I'm without : You can't just leave me : Breathe into me and make me real : Bring me to life :
Finally, Heero spoke, "Duo... Would it be ok if..." He was suddenly incredibly aware of Duo's arm still wrapped loosely around his shoulders. "If I..." He swallowed. "Can I kiss you?"
: (Wake me up) Wake me up inside : (I can't wake up) Wake me up inside : (Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark : (Wake me up) Bid my blood to run (I can't wake up) before I come undone : (Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become : Bring me to life :
Confusion crossed Duo's features. "Heero... What makes you want to kiss me all of a sudden?" he asked, feeling his insides squirm nervously.
Heero shrugged. "I don't know... I just do..." he replied, still watching Duo's eyes with that almost scary intensity.
: Frozen inside without your touch without your love : Darling only you are the life among the dead :
Duo smiled a little and nodded. "Ok." When their lips met, he let his eyes flutter closed. Heero moved his good hand up to Duo's shoulder and pulled just a tiny bit. He obviously wanted more. Duo hesitated before he allowed Heero to slip his tongue into his mouth. He was startled at first when he felt the stud in Heero's tongue, but quickly calmed and gently, but a little hastily pulled away. He held Heero's face in his hands and brushed his bangs out of his eyes. "Slow down, Heero," he said with a trace of a bewildered smile on his lips. "I don't know what's going on in your head, but you should really slow down. You just got out of this mess with your step-dad and just... Take a breath, let it sink in... I think you've gone into some kind of shock stage and you don't really realize what you're doing..."
: All this time I can't believe I couldn't see : Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me : I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems : Got to open my eyes to everything : Without a thought without a voice without a soul : Don't let me die here there must be something more : Bring me to life :
Heero shook his head. "I'm not in shock, Duo. I know what I'm doing." He smiled. "But now that he's gone, I feel like I need someone who really does care about me... And you're the only one who does. That might sound like I only turn to you as a last resort, but I'm glad that you're the only one who cares that much for me. I'm glad it was you that I turned to." He looked like he was close to tears. "I wouldn't have felt this safe going to anyone else."
: (Wake me up) Wake me up inside : (I can't wake up) Wake me up inside : (Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark : (Wake me up) Bid my blood to run (I can't wake up) before I come undone : (Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become : Bring me to life : I've been living a lie there's nothing inside : Bring me to life ::
This time it was Duo who pulled Heero into an embrace. He closed his eyes tightly and fought back tears of his own. He suppressed a shiver when Heero nuzzled his neck gently in thanks.

Hazel-Beka - I know you didn't ask for a reply, but I wanted to tell you that the CSI and stuff like that can trace a murder like that to Heero. It probably wouldn't be that difficult. They always catch the murderer. Some CSI guy came to my school once and told me that if you want to commit a murder or a crime like that, they'll always catch you. They had never gotten a case that they didn't solve and find the criminal. So Heero couldn't have killed them.
Well, thank you to everybody who reviewed! You guys are so great! GAH! Can't type! Too many popups!!!!! DIIIEEE!!! Ok, sorry... anyway... You guys are so supportive of me and my writing. I'm thinking about my next story already. I don't know what it's going to be called, but I'm thinking about it.
