This is a short chapter, I hope you like it: )
I was sitting against the door with my head resting on my knee. The ring that I had taken off had fallen, and I wasn't sure where ithadwent. It didn't matter anymore, anyway.

The sun came in and lit up the house, that's when I lifted my head and opened my eyes only to have Heero's face inches away from mine. He was kneeled down to look me dead on. He had picked up the ring I had taken off and shoved it in my face.

"Explain," He said in that monotone voice of his.

I wasn't sure what to say. How could I explain to him the events that have been occurring during the night? How was I to be sure that he would actually believe me? I tried to turn my face away from his, but he grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him.

"Duo, I want to know what this means!"

"It means exactly what it looks like it means,Heero!" I was shocked to hear my own voice say something like that to the one person I thought I'd always be with.

Heero turned his head away and clenched the ring in his fist. His eyes were closed tight and he was shaking violently.

It hurt more than anything to watch him like this, I was beginning to have second thoughts about my intentions. In the end I knew that I was going to have to tell him what had happened last night.

"Heero, I want to be with you for the rest of my life more than anything else, but im being too selfish,"

He faced me again with questioning eyes, but before he was able to say anything I continued on.

"Last night, and for the past few weeks you have been sleepwalking,"

"Sleepwalking?" he repeated.

"Yes, and last night I decided to follow you, to see what you were up to. I didn't know that you were sleepwalking at the time, but then you started...running. I didn't want to have to chase you down, so I decided to blow my cover and call out to you. That's when you fainted."

"This is beginning to get hard to believe Duo, what's your real reason for this?"

"Hang on im getting there, and if you don't believe me then go ask Sally Po because that's who I calledafter you passed out. She looked you up and down and gave me the prognosis, sleepwalking. She said it could of been due to ' a new stress factor or irrational fear'. I told her aboutour engagement and that seemed like the factor she was looking for. Heero, im the reason you look so worn, im the reason you can't sleep well at night, and its that reason im too selfish to be with you."

It was hard to watch as Heero's eyes glistened with tears as he looked at me. It was enough to make me ashamed of my own actions, making me realize that the only thing I have ever done that was selfish was removing the precious ring thathe had given me. I hated myself for that, and I knew that I had to take it all back immediately.

Just when I was about to wrap my arms around him and tell him how sorry I was, he shot up. His eyes were closed and his fist were still clenched when he spoke.

"Move," he said.

" Heero I-"

"You did enough explaining, just get out of my way."

I saw the tears slide down his cheeks and got up and stepped aside, trying to hold my own tears. What was I doing? Why did I have to instigate this? I thought I was doing this for Heero,but now I don't know what im doing.

He ran out without saying another word, slamming the door behind him. I'll never forget the sound it made when it shut because at that point my heart was no longer with me. It was with Heero.
