"See you guys tomorrow morning." Duo smiled tiredly as he unlocked his hotel room.
He turned to others, all of them looked exhausted even though the show had been a huge success.
"Night Duo." The dark haired Akari smiled as she and other band members left Duo to head off to their own rooms.
Duo lingered outside his doorway for a few moments, watching his band members stumble down the hallway. A small smile formed on his lips as he recalled the memories of the other Gundam pilots. Watching his friends now reminded him of the long nights he and the others use to put in.
Stepping into the his dark room, he quietly shut the door closing off the light in the hallway. Beads of sweat still lined his brows as he hadn't changed since the show. Duo sighed deeply as he stumbled along the small hallway, feeling for the bathroom doorknob. His hand wrapped around the cool metal knob and he slipped into the bathroom. Resting his hands on the counter he stared into his darkened reflection. The city lights shone into the room so Duo could make of a faint outline of himself. He hadn't changed much over the few years. He still looked vibrant and youthful, his cobalt eyes gleamed, hiding so many secrets. Looking away from the mirror Duo snatched a small towel that laid beside the sink. Pressing the small white cloth against his face he left the bathroom and entered the living room area. The lights from the streets danced across the room as Duo walked over to the mini refrigerator in the far corner. Opening it he retrieved a cool bottle of water. Throwing the towel around his neck he twisted opened the bottle's cap. Tilting his head back, he drank, the cool liquid soothing his burning throat. Grinning in relief, Duo tossed himself onto the couch lazily and stared up at the ceiling.
'I just can't believe it...' Duo smiled to himself, stretching his legs out, 'Heero's back. I never thought I'd get the chance to see him again.' Closing his eyes Duo's mind started to fill with doubts. As to why Heero had showed up at his gig in the first place had been constantly playing in the back of his mind. Duo wasn't a fool, he could feel a false pretense. 'What am I thinking?' Duo growled at himself, turning over on his side so that he faced the couch's back. 'This is Heero we're talking about... he's my... friend.'
Unnoticed Heero stood outside Duo's door. Still, he stared at his feet. Both his heart and mind were tore between the two decisions. His heart longed to be with his friend, one of the few he ever admitted he trusted. Duo had shown him so much he didn't know and there was more he wished to understand. But if he went against Yuya then love would leave him. 'Love.' Heero's mind repeated, he swallowed deeply. 'Like Yuya told me... He's the only one that would ever love me. Who else would? Duo has so many others in his life... Why would he want me? He deserves so much better.' Bitter, Heero turned away from the door and took some quick retreating steps away from it but again his mind pleaded. There was something he was missing, something that left him feeling empty. His heart ached to see Duo, even for those few days. Heero's lost Prussian eyes fell back to the door. Taking a shaky breath, he clutched his fists tightly.
'If only for these few days...'
