last chapter. And thank you all for the reviews!!

getting in trouble as it is. But thank you: Minako Jo Maxwell, Minako
Mika, Anonymous, Katherine, JC, Catherine, Dark Angel, Violet Tears,

I'll try to make the next chapter better and longer and everythin'
Heero jerked away suddenly as if he had been slapped across the face.
'He doesn't remember ME? He doesn't remember... me' the gundam took a deep breath and willed himself not to give up. "I-I'm Heero." He started. Trying desperately to keep his voice from quivering. "We... you and I were..." he paused. The grief would be too much to bear. "Best Friends. You and I were the BEST of friends Duo. You don't remember?"
Sorrow and confusion washed over that most beautiful and delicate face before Duo finally spoke. "No." he shook his head sadly "No, I'm sorry Heero. I'm starting to remember everything, everything but you." Quatre stepped towards Heero but was held back by his lover. "I-I-..." Heero choked for words "I'm sorry to have bothered you Duo." And then he ran. Not bothering to look back. Not seeing the look of anguish on his beloved's face or hearing the words whispered from those pale pink lips "I wish I could remember you Heero-san."
"Heero" the perfect soldier flinched as a hand touched his shoulder. "I- I'm so sorry Heero. I can't imagine what it would be like if Trowa couldn't remember me." Quatre hugged his fellow gundam. "Oh Quatre." Heero held on to the blonde boy and sucked in a rattling breath. "I am extremely grateful for all of your support." The cobalt eyed boy sat on a cold wooden bench. Short green grass swayed ever so softly in the wind.
"No problem Heero-san. We will ALWAYS be there for you and Duo. Always you hear me?"
"Yes Quatre. Thank you."
"Don't mention it."
"No. I-I really mean it. With out you I would have broke down in front of Duo and he doesent need that kind of pressure. But now I know that my life is over. Duo's never going to remember me. So, thanks for your support but... I really should 'go' now." Quatre let out a small gasp and then roughly grabbed his friend by the shoulders. "LOOK HEERO I DON'T WANT YOU TO START YOUR STUPID PERFECT SOLDIER ROUTINE AGAIN! DUO NEEDS YOU DON'T YOU SEE? I THOUGHT YOU LOVED HIM! AND NOW YOUR WILLING TO KILL YOURSELF JUST BECAUSE HE DOESENT REMEMBER YOU?! That's sad."
He shook his head and walked away with a heartrending look at the dark haired boy "One more thing Heero." Quatre stopped but didn't turn to face the other young man "If you love someone you do ANYTHING to help them, ANYTHING." With that he walked away to meet Trowa.
"Duo?" Yuy finally mustered up enough guts to go back and face his lost love. "Yes."
"Do you remember anything about me?" the longhaired boy got and thoughtful look on his face that soon turned to an agitated glare. "No. I-I'm sorry Mr. Yuy."
"Don't be." Heero went to hold the younger gundams hand and stopped, thinking of how awkward that might be. He looked up in surprise when the small pale hand slid into his. "I loved you didn't I." Duo said quietly. "Yes. Yes you did. But-but I loved you more than life itself. I still do. And even if-" Heero's voice cracked "even if you never remember me... or the feelings you once had. I will still love you." He looked away.
"I believe that. Truly. And I hope, that someday I will be able to love you in return."
"Hai. That would be... nice."
"I'm sure it would. But..."
"But what?"
"But... I don't think I will ever remember you. I can't find one trace of you in my memory. Perhaps..." Duo hesitated "Perhaps you have mistaken me for someone else?"
"Oh. Of course I have. S'not like I would remember the person I dreamed about day and night. No, I wouldn't remember the curves of his delicate lips that talked so constantly, I wouldn't even begin to know that soft smell of vanilla that drove me wild whenever he would walk by. Of course I wouldn't remember the only man I have ever loved, ever fantasized about, the only person who could break through my outer defense and get to the real me! Of course not, how silly of me." Heero stood to leave releasing Duo's hand. "I'm sorry to bother you Duo. I wont stay and bother you but remember what I said... I will ALWAYS love you."
And then he left, hands clenched, fingernails digging into his palms and drawing blood. 'Why me?' he thought. 'Why Duo?' It was all so hard and once again life had left Heero Yuy cold, and all alone.
I'll try to make the next chapter better and longer and everythin'
