Disclaimer: I don't own GW. I do own this really weird plot twist and the laptop that I am typing this story on. You can't take either of them from me. :blows raspberry.:
Babble: Yet again with the Hee-chan chapter. I really do enjoy writing in his perspective. He may be my new favourite character! Maybe. If he's lucky.
There was a knife in my stomach, and it was twisting, turning, wedging itself deeper into the susceptible flesh of my abdomen. I cried out against my will, biting my lip to keep from making another sound. My attacker made a sound like a laugh, but I couldn't see him. He shoved another knife into my shoulder doing the same there as he had done elsewhere. I could almost see his wide grin as he twisted it…
I awoke with a start, nearly knocking my laptop onto the floor of the shuttle. I blinked, looking around slowly before I completely understood where I was. Duo and Quatre sat on either side of me, one listening to music and the other sleeping calmly. I ran a hand through my bangs, glancing over at Duo as he bounced his head to the music radiating from his headphones. He looked silly doing that, but it somehow fit with him. I think I may have smiled ever-so-slightly. He looked out of place on the shuttle, his eyes too bright and his hair too perfect.
"Hey, buddy. When'd you wake up?" I hadn't even noticed when Duo removed his headphones and turned to face me, glowing amethyst eyes grinning just as much as the rest of his face.
I shrugged, "Just a minute ago."
"You were having a nightmare." He said simply, tilting his head slightly.
"What makes you think that?" I wasn't about to admit that I had, indeed, had a nightmare.
"You were whimpering in your sleep." He paused, "Really softly, but I could hear you, even through the headphones. I doubt anyone else heard you, though. D'ya wanna tell me about it?"
I stared at him, pondering whether or not I wanted to spill my guts to him. The answer was, strangely enough, an immediate yes, "I was being tortured, stabbed repeatedly in the stomach, shoulders and legs. Whoever was attacking me was twisting the knives around in the wounds."
"I've had dreams like that before. They always creep me out." The way Duo said this made me completely trust his word. I believed, without a doubt, that he had endured nightmares similar to mine. I offered him a half-smile and he returned it full force.
"Duo?"
"What's up?"
"Why were you there that day?" I wasn't quite sure what propelled me to ask him this, why I even needed to know. In fact, I wasn't even sure he knew what day I was talking about.
He looked taken aback by my question and it was obvious he had to think about his answer. "I really don't know. I guess I had figured it was the only way to be close to you and the others. You know, to be someplace that you'd been to recently, to be able to say we still had that in common."
"You didn't know I was going to show up when I did."
"No. I figured you'd already left." He shook his head and smiled sadly, pausing before adding, "Actually, that's not entirely true. I didn't know either way whether you had been there or not. A part of me wanted you to show up."
I nodded, my eyes locking on him for what felt like forever. For whatever reason, he had chosen that particular day to view his own "grave," and I just happened to have been held up by Relena's phone calls long enough that when I arrived at the cemetery, Duo was there. I wasn't one to believe in fate or destiny, but with that situation, even coincidence seemed too far-fetched even for me. Even I saw that day as an act of fate.
"What brought that up?"
"I don't know. Curiosity, I suppose." I shrugged as I leaned down to retrieve my laptop from the floor.
"Oh, that's all?" Duo's response was simple and seemed as though he was hoping my reason for asking was different. He smiled slightly, glancing around me and towards the shuttle window and Quatre. "Well, in other news, we've been in space for about two hours now. We should be to L4 soon, right?"
I nodded slowly, "Yeah. No more than another hour and a half."
"Cool. Hey, how do you think Trowa and Fei will take seeing me again?" Duo seemed past being apparently disappointed.
"Wufei will probably get a nosebleed and yell at you, while I assume Trowa will stare for a moment before blinking and walking away." I deadpanned, marginally amazed at my prediction. Honestly, I had no idea how they would react. I wasn't eager to find out, and found that I wished Quatre hadn't found out. I wanted to be the only one with any contact with Duo. It was selfish, but it was the thought dominating my mind from the moment I saw him sitting on that grave.
Duo laughed jovially, leaning back in his seat and grinning, "I really wouldn't be surprised if Trowa did that. But, you know, I more see Fei as the kind of person who would rant about how there's a trick being played on him. And then he'd go and get drunk."
I blinked, "I can't see Wufei in that situation."
"Yeah, me neither," Duo said, and I raised an eyebrow. He laughed again, "But you gotta admit, it would be funny."
Quatre let out a little snore.
A/N: I know, I know, this is a really uneventful chapter. I'm sorry! It's one of those damn annoying transition chapters. You know, the ones were the characters just talk or move to a different location? Yeah. That's what this is. Did you know I wrote this chapter 3 times before deciding on this version? Version one was a lemon. Chapters 3 and 4 were written 3 times too. Version one of 3 and 4 lead up to a lemon. Now I've decided to hold off on that in this fic. I'd rather keep this at PG-13, for now. Maybe one day that'll change. But for now…. It's lemon free. XD Gawd, I'm so annoying when it comes to these notes! I just keep on and on! Oo Oh, and.. I know what that song is now!! Woo-hoo!! Listen to the Rain, Evanescence!! Woo-hoo!! Oo
