"Tell us what?"

"You know what!" Sally replied hotly. "You know that he was just starting to get better after his relationship started with Heero."

"Sally," Quatre interrupted gently though a frown was etched on his features. "We have no idea what you are talking about. What was Duo recovering from?"

Sally looked at him in astonishment. "You...really have no idea?" She asked disbelievingly. When the other shook his head, she let go of Heero and stepped back. "Oh god." She muttered as she scrubbed her face with her hands.

"Duo had depression." She stated at last looking at them wearily.

"...WHAT?"

Sally sighed and looked at all of the dumb founded pilots. "He had depression. He used to come to me for therapy sessions."

"Bu-but how? When? Why...it can't be...Duo?!?!"

"Yes, Duo. Didn't you guys notice how he used to disappear whenever you guys reported to the main base? That was for the sessions."

The pilots exchanged shocked looks. "But Duo...He's always so cheerful and ...and happy. How could he have depression?'

"Many things can cause depression." Sally explained. "People who have low self-esteem and a negative outlook on life often have a higher chance of becoming depressed. Duo was one of there cases."

"But...why didn't he tell us?"

"Probably because he was afraid of what you would think of him. I'm sure all of you know of his past, but none of you have seen them in horrific detail. I have. After nightmares, Duo told me that he often stayed up and sketched in detail his nightmares. In a way, it made him feel as though it was all in the past and that it wouldn't hurt him now. I've seen those pictures that he has drawn." Sally paused and shuddered slightly. "Horrible, that's what they are."

"His case took a turn for the better when Heero became an aspect of his life. He didn't just want to fight for revenge because then he felt that it would make him no different than the OZ. Which is why when he found Heero, he had something else to fight for. For Heero."

"Every battle he fought, he made himself think that it depended on Heero. Which is why when you broke it off with him and he went on his mission, there was no attempt for an actual escape. Once you had gone, his purpose in life had vanished, leaving him with nothing to fight for. And then the nightmares return, making him believe that he is worthless and that he deserves to die, which is what has happened here today. His attempt at suicide shows that he truly believes that he has no purpose and that will possibly be his downfall."

She finished and looked at the pilots' miserable faces. Wufei sat shocked, cradling a teary Quatre while Heero stared off into space opposite of them. Getting up from the couch he walked over to the window and stared out at the dark cloudy night, sprinkled with twinkling stars. How horribly fake they were. Nothing like his Duo. Nothing like his best friend, the one who understood him and taught him to love. And what had he done in return? Betrayed that love, betrayed that trust. In one moment, he had torn apart Duo's world, leaving his heart shredded at his feet and not even realizing it until too late. Now when Duo no longer wanted to live.

"God, I am a fool." He whispered harshly, his arms coming to wrap around himself. "I'm such a fool. He was in front of me the whole time and I couldn't even see." He trembled and a lone tear slipped free, trailing down his cheek, translucent in its descent. To go through the process of love and betrayal over and over again, how painful must it have been for Duo, he couldn't even come close to describing it.

"I...I need to tell him." He decided and turned around. "I need to tell him that I still love him." Never mind that it wasn't true. If it helped, then I would be with him even if that meant that I couldn't be with Trowa. He started to stride towards the stairs when Wufei suddenly got in his way.

"Do you?" Do you still love him? Heero knew what Wufei was talking about.

"Yes." No.

The Chinese pilot stared hard at the other before shaking his head disappointedly, bringing one hand up and pushing Heero back. "Don't." You lie.

"Wufei, I need to tell him!" Heero protested. Please.

"At what cost?" Wufei shot back. "Your happiness with Trowa? Or the false sense of security that you are going to give Duo? And don't forget that if he finds out then he will be worse than he was before!"

"What else do you want me to do?" Heero yelled frustrated.

"I don't know!" The two pilots glared at each other until Wufei brought his hand up to run through his loose hair. "I don't know. But I can't stand by watching Duo live a lie. And you also for that matter."

Sally watched this whole argument with intent eyes, silent. Letting the other two duke it out. But now she spoke.

"Wufei." She called. The other turned around and regarded her. "Do you...love Duo?"

Two shocked pair of eyes turned to look at Wufei. Heero's and Quatre's. The Chinese pilot flushed and opened his mouth and shut it again. When he opened his mouth again, his voice was soft,

"I'll admit that I am attracted to Duo. I mean, he is smart, intelligent, handsome and loving. He is the brightest spirit among the five of us. But love? I don't know. I love Quatre. Do I love Duo? Maybe. Even if I don't I could see myself starting to love him."

Sally watched him as he said his speech and then nodded almost silently to herself. "I thought as much. And I can see that Duo accepts things from you more easily than he does from the others. After the nightmare, it was you who consoled him, was it not?"

"Well...Quatre was the one who did the consoling. I just held him."

Sally turned to Quatre. "What do you think about this, Quatre?"

The blond looked at Wufei and then back at Sally before looking at the ground. "I don't know. I suppose it's not much of a surprise that Wufei was attracted to Duo. Even I at one time was. But...How is all of this helping?"

"Could you see yourself developing feelings towards Duo?'

"Well...I suppose I can."

"Then would you be opposed to bringing him into your relationship? Not right away of course. But slowly and gradually as he starts to trust you more?"

"I'm not sure." He glanced at Wufei quickly. "I'll have to think about it and talk it over with Wufei."

"Well, then why don't you guys think about it? I have to leave now. The base needs me back." She got up from the couch and collected her things. "Let me know when you decide. Call my cell." Opening the door to the safe house, she paused. "If I hear that something happened to my little bro, I will hurt you all and have you put in for psych evaluations. Then I will lock you up with other mentally retarded prisoners. Got that?" After getting three dumb-founded nods, she smirked and left the safe house.

So I hope this kinda explains a little and makes things a little clearer. Other than that, I'll update the other stories on the weekend.
