CHAPTER 15
"If nature had arranged that husbands and wives should have children alternatively, there would never be more than three in a family."
~Laurence Housman
(quote courtesy of Emily Hato)
Duo's stomach clenched, and with a stumbled run, he made for the bathroom where he threw up the contents of his stomach. He lay there weakly, and the memories of the night before came rushing back at him. With a panicked action, a reached for his stomach. He felt a reassuring lump and sagged with relief against the bath. There was no blood, no pain, no loss. It had been only a dream, a very vivid horrifying dream.
Shakily, Duo rose. His stomach felt much better now that his nerves had calmed. Returning to his room, needing something menial to do to keep his mind off of the nightmare, he began fixing up the destroyed sheets and making his bed. Once that was finished, he assessed his 'battle' wounds and found, that while still sore, his movements were less stiff. His face was still bruised but no longer swollen. A good long stretch, popping all his joints, relieved any remaining stiffness and he felt ready to tackle another day at work. And ready to forget all about last night.
~*~*~
Heero wasn't exactly sure where he was. He wasn't even sure if he was indoors or outdoors. It felt rather cool, and was pitch dark, an oppressive silence filled the area. He couldn't remember where or what he had been doing before he came here, in fact he didn't remember coming here at all. Slowly, he thought he heard the sound of someone moving. He moved in closer, strangely relieved for something in this void. He approached a figure, in a faintly glowing patch of light. The figure looked as if it was struggling with something on a bed.
Moving closer, as silently as possible, Heero kept a careful eye on the figure. He recognized that person, he knew him very well. It was Duo.
Heero watched in frozen horror as Duo fell out of the bed, moaning in pain, clutching his midsection, and he couldn't help him. He couldn't seem to move to him. Couldn't seem to help him. Duo's let a out a small cry of pain, and for a moment he looked around wildly, seeking help, comfort, relief, anything. Resigned, Duo fell back, eyes clenched tightly shut. Horrified, Heero watched as Duo's body went limp on the floor, blood clearly visible between his legs.
Heero willed himself to move to him, to comfort Duo, but he couldn't and the more he struggled the farther he seemed to be from him, til eventually he was no longer at his side at all.
~*~*~
Heero sat straight up in bed. With a glance at his clock, he realize it was one minute before his alarm went off. Same as usual. [1] He had to be at work in 1 hour, so he stood, made his bed military style, and showered. Grabbing a quick energy bar before leaving. He left a little early for work, and set off.
Heero decided since he had a little extra time he would go check on Duo. Just stop by the garage, only a short detour. . . . in the complete opposite direction. He pulled around the corner, feeling sheepish. He was worried about Duo because of a dream. He shook his head, but nevertheless walked up to a window and peeked into it. He could see Duo's bottom half sticking out from under a car, feet twitching in beat to the music, audible even outside.
Heero didn't realize just how wound up he had been, til he felt an enormous pressure lift off his chest in relief. It surprised him that he had been so worried. Since when had he become so emotionally attached to Duo. . . . to anyone for that matter. He sat back in his car, taking in a deep breath, steadying his nerves. He once more found himself shocked. Nerves? He had forgotten what it was like to worry, to be nervous. He started up the car and once more headed for work, directly this time. Was he starting to care for someone. Seriously? He realized he felt more deeply and stronger for Duo than he did for anyone else. He loved Duo entirely. Everything about him. The way he unconsciously stroked his belly and smiled randomly when he talked. The way he would enthusiastically greet Heero whenever they met up. His smile, his strength, his personality, everything. Even his little quirks, it all added up to a perfect whole. A small smile quirked Heero's mouth. He hadn't felt this great in a long time. After work today, he would find Duo, and analyze exactly what he felt.
