Zechs left through the door and Sally came in with a tray on wheels with lots of nice looking instruments on it. FUN! NOT! Half of the instruments looked like they were for cutting a person apart. My face must have shown what I was thinking cause Sally said something.
"Now Duo, surely an ex-gundam pilot like you isn't afraid of a few scalpels?" Sally smiled evilly.
"Sometimes Sally, I wonder if you aren't the spawn of Satan. I mean you just love to torture me." I gave Sally a tortured look.
Sally laughed. "Duo, you are a work of art you know that right?"
I gave Sally a wink. "I guess that my good looks and charms over whelm you huh?"
"Not likely Duo. I'm taken by a very charming man." Sally said in response.
I raised an eyebrow. "You mean that someone actually wants to be with you?" I couldn't help myself.
Sally let out a chuckle. "Yes Duo, someone is crazy enough to date me. You can say that we are taking up where we left off. But things are little rocky right now."
"Who is the un-I mean lucky man Sally?"
"Wufei…You see before he and Heero…or ZERO got 'together' we were. And then ZERO interfered. I can forgive Wufei, but it will take time to trust him as I once had."
"It seems that ZERO has affected us all in one way or another. I'm sorry Sally. I wasn't smart enough to learn what was wrong with Heero."
"It wasn't your fault Duo. You did the first thing you thought of."
"I ran Sally, that is not acceptable."
"Duo, you're human and you had never been betrayed by the one you loved before, it was natural that you ran."
"Sally?"
"Yes Duo?"
"Get out of my head."
Sally laughed. "Well Duo, you're fit as a horse. Your recovery went better than expected."
"Really?"
"Yes, I was worried about you there for awhile. You were unconscious for days and I was sure you wouldn't regain consciousness. But you surprised us all when you woke up. I had never seen Zechs so relieved. He loves you more than his own life."
"What do you mean Sally?"
"If you had died Duo, Zechs would have been right behind you. No matter what we tried to do to help him, he would have taken his own life to be with you."
I sat there stunned. I knew Zechs loved me, but that much. Well, Heero did love me that much. So was it so hard to believe that Zechs did as well?
