Disclaimers: I still don't own a camel. You do the math.

*Squeak* new idea new idea *giggles insanely* this could prove to be highly interesting!! *squeal* oh o.o I giggle insanely and squeal when I get a new angst/dark/confusing idea o.o or something on those lines.

Warnings: you should know them by now.. Self-mutilation, shounen ai, depressed notions, self-bondage sooner or later. (new idea: sadomasochism.. possible.. ) Two very confused boys ^______^

Pairings: 2x4x2 sooner or later. There might be 1x3x1 and I'm gonna try top get Wufei in here, somehow, I just realized I like Wufei *cringe* so I have to have him ion here sooner or later. But he won't be paired with anyone.

(ok, time lapse, Quatre just left to get his stuff. Yes, duo's POV lala)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was fiddling with the end of my braid absent-mindedly. Nervous? Me? Never…

Bullshit. I'm not one to loose my calm in a situation, really. This time is just a little different.

Here I was waiting in a car for one of the few people that I actually ever managed to get close to. And I'm waiting for him to come out with his stuff so we can go to my place and he can live with me.

Dammit things couldn't be worse.

I felt that rather large bag of aspirin still in my hands. I looked at it. Painkillers.

It was all I could do to not break out in a panicky hysterical laugh. Painkillers, god, if they only knew how much pain they ended.

It was almost inhuman.

It was fucking inhuman!!

I threw the bottle to the floor of the car not holding any of my strength back. It bounced slightly then rolls on the floor. I didn't care, by that time my knees were pulled up to my chest and my hands here clenched over my ears.

Why did I have to offer for Quatre to come over? Why didn't I just run when I saw him?!

I don't know… I just don't know. What am I gonna do with him there? What if I flip, or something.

Chill out, I don't flip that often.

Besides, Quatre coming over could be a good thing for the both of us. From what I gathered from him, his life is just as boring as mine is.

And it isn't like he's permanently moving in with me, I'm just worried about him and how sick he is.

I worry about the people I care about, it isn't a sin.

I hope.

I look up to see Quatre walking out of his house holding a suitcase. I immediately put my legs down so I don't look like a scared child and put a nice big grin on my face as he puts the suitcase I the trunk and then opens the car door.

He didn't get in yet though, "Hey Duo, do you wanna drive to your place? I don't know where it is and I'm feeling a little dizzy." He asked, I nodded quickly and get out of the car, we switched places and closed out doors.

I started up the car and drove off.

I wasn't really up for a conversation, and it didn't look like Quatre was either, wich I was thankful for. We drove in silence for a while and when I looked over at Quatre just to see if he was all right I saw that he was asleep.

Kinda sucked, kinda didn't, I had little clue where I was but I didn't mind the silence. I actually enjoyed it sometimes.

Sometimes. Sometimes the silence is my worst enemy.

Not literally of course, but the point is made either way.

I look over at Quatre while at a red light and see that he's still sleeping.

I just noticed that his hair has grown a bit, it was falling on his face in such a way that made him look just so…..



…. Vulnerable.

'Stop it!' I whisper to myself harshly. I started driving as the light turned green.

Though I still couldn't shake the image of how innocent and weak Quatre looked. Like he was just so fragile, so…

I felt myself grin widely without meaning too. I resisted the urge to slap myself right there and then.

…. Vulnerable. Quatre was too good for me to let some of my … darker tendencies take over. He was way too innocent for that.

Innocent… defenseless… I barely managed to control a deep chuckle rising from the back of my throat before purposely taking a deep breath and telling myself mentally to stop this train of thought.

I was almost growling at myself at this point. I was having Quatre live with me so I could help him get better, not so I could do …anything to him.

I growled silently and forced my mind to focus on other things. I gave a sigh of relief and I realized I knew where I was and we would be at my place soon.

Caring about a friend isn't a sin.

I hope.
