Eeeek! I've past the Thirty mark!!! You know, I was originally aiming for
the ten mark. This is soo trippy!
Okay, I've never been so busy last month than in my entire life! albeit
short. So, as a treat (or an apology for taking so long), this will either
be extra long, or I will put up two chapters. Depends on where the story
ends well.
Well, I'm glad that I posted that this wasn't a deathfic. I know that
saying that was kinda a spoiler, but I couldn't not do it! (Double
negative! Yeah!)
Thanks to my lovely reviewers! Here, let me list you all so that everyone can see your great importance to an insecure writer that is me: SelenaWheeler, Dark-One Shadowsphyre (thanks for telling me about the word 'keneng', I edited it into chapter 3), crazy_cook, Echo, anna may, YaoiCyberCat, cainslovershido, gundam06serenity, Jessica White, Starlit Hope, GoldenRat, Dark Angel, DNP (your birthday was the 17? Mine was the 15! Happy belated birthday!), raverTECH, CC, Nik-ka, nikki, Melaiya, and drkwndz! Man is there ever a lot of you! But I think that was everyone, and if I did, accidentally missed you, my apologies, and I will put you in the next chapter.
Now I will stop babbling and start the fic!

Chapter 4
Wufei sat in the uncomfortable hospital chair, keeping watch over the comatose body in the bed, with the many tubes coming and going. The skin was so pale, the breathing shallow, laboured. He felt so useless, unable to do anything but keep the boy company.
Wufei put his head in his hands. He would never forget that day.
Flashbacky thing
He ran, out of the building, knowing that Duo was right behind with Trowa; he could not stop thinking about all the different scenarios, the possibilities that could be happening at Heero's house. The run there seemed to be taking forever, yet all too soon he had reached the house, and whatever lay within. They bounded up the stairs, through the mercifully unlocked door.
"Heero!?" He searched frantically. "Heero!"
Then, he saw him and his knees gave out, crashing to the floor.
There was Heero Yuy, lying on the floor of the bathroom, wrists slashed and blood everywhere.
"Heero?" Wufei whispered, crawling over to cradle the bloody teen in his arms. Gently, he rocked the body, whispering soothing words, meant for both the victim, and rescuer.
End flashbacky thing
The ambulance arrived shortly afterwards, and rushed Heero to the nearest hospital. They had allowed Wufei to travel along.
And now here he was, sitting in a cold room, keeping vigil over the sleeping boy. Leaning over, Wufei grasped Heero's hand, offering support through the simple contact.
~
Slowly, Heero drifted into consciousness. There were beeps coming from beside him. Damn alarm. Heero sighed and moved his arm to hit the snooze button. He felt like crap.
He frowned. His arm did not move. And there was a funny weight on his thighs. He opened his eyes, seeing a sight that should be captured and shown to everyone, to share the beautiful scene.
Chang Wufei sat in the chair beside his bed, hand clasped to Heero's. He must have fallen asleep and slumped over, head resting on Heero's legs.
He lifted his other hand and ran it through the sleeping angel's hair. Wufei sighed, smiling, drifting further into the land of sweet thoughts. Heero smiled, and followed, vaguely wondering why Wufei was in his bedroom.(1)
~
A tall man with long blond hair, accompanied by a young brown hair girl, walked up to the desk labelled 'visitor service.'
"Hello," his voice flowed out, sweet like syrup. "Can you tell me where to find Heero Yuy please?"
The receptionist stared dreamily at him. "Heero Yuy? I do not believe that there is a Doctor Yuy in this building."
The young girl snorted. "No kidding. We are not looking for a doctor. Heero Yuy is a patient."
The receptionist did not spare the girl a glance. "Heero Yuy, Heero Yuy," she thought out loud. "Oh! you mean that young boy who was brought in yesterday! Poor dear, all alone." She sighed, shaking her head.
The man placed his hands on the girl's shoulder, calming her rage. The woman behind the counter was too busy finding the room number to notice.
"Yes, he's in room 201A, which is right down the corridor there," she pointed, "and to the left. Just follow the numbers."
"Thank you."
The two walked away, quickly finding the designated room. The words 'Intensive Care' were above the door. They frowned. Just what had happened?
The girl reached for the doorknob, but was stopped by a shout from a man strolling down the hall.
"Stop! Please, only family and close friends are allowed in there," the doctor approached them, eying the two.
"What happened?"
"Oh, well, some young chap decided that life wasn't worth it, I suppose," was the sad response. "Slit his wrists. Thankfully, he was found when he was. A moment later and his spark would have been lost forever."
The female gasped, and rushed into the room. The man followed.
"Heero, why?"
The visitors went to Heero's side. Only then did they notice the other boy. Ignoring him, and the doctor, the girl shook Heero's shoulder.
"Heero, wake up."
One eye opened, saw the room's occupants, and closed.
"Heero Yuy, wake up!" The words were repeated with a more forceful tone of voice. Heero sighed and reopened his eyes.
"What do you want?" Heero asked, bleakly.
The quicker rise and fall of Heero's chest, and the hard grip breaking his hand, woke Wufei. He blinked, staring up at Heero, who was concentrating at something else. He sat up.
"Who are you?"
Turning, Wufei could see two new people, and a doctor. He dismissed the doctor, and studied the new arrivals instead.
The long haired blonde male was tall, and sleek. He had a commanding posture; eyes noticing when shoelaces were untied, or socks that did not match. But there was a hidden kindness as well, deep within the blue eyes.
The onna had long brown hair, and a general weakness about her. She was his age, whereas the male was older, early twenties perhaps.
Wufei glared at them. No business of yours."
Heero squeezed his hand, trying to calm him down. "Fei, this is Relena and Milliardo Peacecraft. They are my, step-siblings. "Unable to meet Wufei's incredulous gaze, he continued with his introductions. "This is Chang Wufei, a classmate of mine."
Heero's grip had loosened, and Wufei could see the Heero was tired. He got up, saying, "Why don't we go outside, and leave Heero to his rest?"
The others nodded and left the small room. Wufei waited until Heero fell into slumber to release his hand, and with one last look, left.
Immediately, the Peacecrafts pounced on him. Literally.
Wufei felt himself forced into the wall, held there by Milliardo. "Who are you?"
"Heero told you. I am a fellow classmate," Wufei snarled. "One who is concerned about his welfare, even though you are not."
He was released as Milliardo stepped back. Relena then moved in front of Wufei.
"What makes you think that we do not care?"
Wufei rolled his eyes. "Please, do not take me for stupid. Heero's been living here for years, and not once did anyone see you two, or even heard of you."
"Did anyone ask?" Relena's voice was soft," Did any of you try to talk to him, find out about his life? Ever wonder why Heero's always leaving town?"
"To get away." Milliardo shook his head. "He wants to get away from this town, the people. Five years he's been here; perhaps it's time that he left for good."
"So you abandon him in a town for five years, and now you want him back?" Wufei was confused and angry; angry at the strangers, at himself.
There were right, though. Wufei knew that he could have approached Heero at any time during the last years, yet he did not and now felt as though Heero's attempt was his fault, that maybe if he talked to Heero this might never have happened.
"Look, I am tired, and I think that it is best for me to leave right now, to go home to sleep." Wufei closed his eyes, sighing. "Maybe tomorrow things will be,. clearer."
"Maybe that would be best," Relena repeated. Wufei snorted at her.
"Weak."

1. He was doped up, and when you're just waking up in a hospital chalkfull of drugs, one gets slow in thought, and is unable to think straight. This can be fun to watch with some people. Like my sister. She can't differentiate between a person and her IV pole.
Yeah! Another chapter! And it was slighter longer than the last chapters! Hopefully the next chapter will be up sooner. Oh! My favourite part is coming up in a few chapters! Back in a few!
