Duo wasn't sure when he had been sleeping, his dreams were plagued by nightmares, ones that were not even his own. It was something he had never experienced before as violet eyes opened tears running down his slightly paled face. Duo wasn't even sure what he was doing before he suddenly heard a ring next to his ear, when did he grab the phone, worse yet what number did he even call.

Heero groaned at the slight distant ringing in his ear, "What the hell." he said as he moved to stretch a bit, his blood red silk sheets fell gently around his waist as he moved around before he grabbed the phone, wondering a bit on why Duo would be calling in, and so early for that matter. "Duo?" he asked once he picked up the phone, a sudden worry pasted over his face when he heard the slightly crying over the phone, "Duo are you okay? What's wrong?" he asked.

Duo was slightly surprised when he noticed that it was Heero that he called, but then again the nightmares he had been having were all Heero's memories so he guessed that calling him was a good idea, "I had a nightmare, I'm worried about you."

"Duo, I'm fine everything is okay, see I wouldn't be here talking to you if I wasn't okay." Heero spoke gently trying to get Duo to calm down since he could hear the other still crying on the other side of the phone. But he could hear that it wasn't helping at all since Duo was still crying, "Duo I want you to take some deep breaths and tell me where you live." Heero spoke before he moved to shuffle through his side table next to the bed to find some paper and a pen. Glad to see that Duo was trying his best to calm down and tell him where he lived. He mostly wrote it down rather fast so he wouldn't have to ask Duo where he lived again but he was glad that he wrote it down nice enough where he could still read it.


Heero arrived at Duo's apartment about an hour later and was rather surprised when he knocked on the door that Duo himself had answered, he had hoped that Duo had fallen back asleep and was no longer crying but it seemed that was not the case. Duo was wearing some pj's which just consisted of pants with little clouds on them, a throw blanket wrapped around his shoulders. Heero's breath caught in his throat seeing the braided boy's hair was down and flowing around him, but once Heero caught sight of the violet mans eyes and seeing the sorrow in them he felt terrible for making Duo see his memories. "Oh Duo, I'm sorry." he spoke softly before moving to pull Duo into a soft hug, which caused the teen to start crying once more. "Its okay Duo. see I'm standing in front of you." Heero spoke as he gently rocked him a bit before stepping inside the apartment and shutting the door behind him. Leading Duo over to the couch as Duo trying to control himself once again, Heero's hand gently moved as he wiped away the tears that were falling from the violet eyes. "Which memories scare you Duo?"

"The- The one wh- where." Duo started before he couldn't get any further as he felt himself starting to cry again, god he hated himself now that he was crying in front of a man who clearly didn't need to see him cry any.

Heero moved to sit down on the couch as well before he hugged Duo close to him, "Its okay Duo, its all a memory, nothing more." Duo nodded his head, he knew it was all a memory but when he had been dreaming it felt so real to him. Heero held Duo close, taking to him gently about nothing really. An hour later Heero began to realize something as he moved to look at Duo, since he was no longer responding to him talking. A small smile appeared on Heero's lips when he saw that Duo was sleeping, that was good because it meant that he was in a peaceful sleep. Slowly moving as he moved to pick up the chestnut teen and somehow found his way into Duo's bedroom. Laying him down gently before moving to cover him up with the covers. His hand moving to gently push some of Duo's hair out of his face before leaning in to place a kiss to the teens forehead, "To keep the nightmares away." he whispered softly, the place where he had kissed glowed a little before disappearing completely.

"Sleep well." Heero spoke before he turned to leave after all, spending the night in such a place would make him feel well out of place so he decided to head home for the rest of the night knowing that Duo would sleep fine, turning off the lights before closing the door behind him.


A soft gentle beep could be heard through Duo's dream as he made a disappointed sound towards it, wondering what it was before violet eyes slowly began to open, seeing that he was once again in his bed, his hands moving to rub the sleep out of his eyes as he turned his head to look at the clock seeing that it was a bit after 10 o' clock. Groaning before he moved his hand to turn off the alarm, this meant that he was going to have to get up and start his day, the joy of it all. Duo had just rolled out of bed when he heard a knock at his front door, odd who would be here at this time. Getting out of the bed as he tried to tame his bed head hair a bit before opening the door, seeing Quatre standing there as he tilted his head, "What is it Quatre?" he asked before he yawned.

"Ineedyourhelp." Quatre said nearly rushing it.

"Wo. Calm down Quatre, and tell me what's wrong." Duo said his hands moving to rest upon the blond's shoulders to get him to calm down a bit, this was the first time he had ever seen Quatre so nervous.

"I don't know what to wear for tonight." Quatre spoke softly, it was easy to tell that he was wanting to make a good impression for his date tonight.

"Quatre its still early, you can't be going right now, so just calm down, we'll figure out something okay." Duo said as he pulled Quatre into his little condo, knowing that he was sure that he would find something that complemented the blond.

"I know but I can't help it, I've never been asked out this way before." Quatre said which caused Duo to laugh he had always been told that Quatre had never been on a date but with the way the blond was acting he now knew it was true.

"It would be called a date Quatre and second you just need to be yourself, why don't you come back later tonight and I'll help you get ready." Duo spoke before he turned his head towards his door as a knock once again could be heard coming from it. Duo looked at Quatre before he moved over to answer the door seeing who it was before a smile appeared upon his face seeing Heero standing there. "Hello, come on it I want you to meet someone." Duo spoke happily before moving to pull Heero into his condo so he could meet Quatre who obviously knew Heero better from a star point of view. "Quatre this is Heero, Heero this is my best friend Quatre." Duo spoke as he pointed to the two of them.

It was easy to tell that Quatre was getting a little bit of himself before Heero spoke, "So this is the famous Quatre that Trowa talks about." he spoke which got a rather confused look from not only Quatre but Duo as well, "Trowa's my bass guitar player." Heero said quiet honestly which got a close to a jaw drop from Quatre, "He showed up earlier nearly scared half to death, its good to see that someone can tame him a bit." Heero spoke which got a full on blush to appear on Quatre's cheeks. Quatre looked over at Duo before saying that he would come back later so he could help him get ready as Duo nodded his head at that, seeing Quatre run out of his condo before he looked at Heero.

"Why don't I get cleaned up, then we can do something before the love bird comes back?" Duo asked as Heero nodded his head, watching Duo walk off back towards his bedroom so he could take a shower.
