Chapter 5
"Duo!"
Duo turned at the sound of his name and smiled as Heero strolled over.
"What's wrong?"
Heero's hand grabbed Duo's braid and pulled him roughly behind Wing Zero.
After managing to ruin Trowa and Quatre's relationship Duo had decided to pay Deathscythe a visit in the hope of clearing his head and finding a way to undo the damage already done. Then Heero had shown up.
Heero pinned Duo against the back of Wing Zero's leg. "What the fuck where you doing with Trowa early?" Heero growled and Duo nearly cried.
"You saw?"
"Everything."
"Kill me, kill me now." Duo muttered. Could anything else go wrong today? "Listen Heero it isn't what it appeared to be."
"What was it then? A friendly goodbye kiss?" Heero hissed his grip tightening on Duo.
"Let go Heero and I'll explain."
"What Was It?" Heero held Duo harder. Duo could feel the hands around his upper arms become tighter every second.
"Heero please, let go!" Duo struggled against the stronger boy.
"Tell Me!" Heero shouted.
Duo let out a sob as his bone began to crack.
"Heero." His head fell forward and the golden bangs flopped over his face hidden the tears that began to foam in his eyes. "Please." Duo whispered.
Heero's grips continued to become tighter until Duo's left arm bone gave way and with a sickening crunch it snapped under the pressure. Duo's cry of pain echoed through the large hanger and Heero dropped Duo to the ground and stepped away a look of horror flashed quickly over his face.
Duo curled his broken arm to him and looked up at the boy he loved with tear filled eyes.
"Why?"
"You're a little whore." Heero spat.
"I'm not!"
"You pretending to like me just for a fuck?"
"No!"
"All along you were fucking Trowa?"
"You've got it wrong!" Duo screamed making Heero fainter.
"What?"
"I was helping Quatre."
"Quatre?"
"Him and Trowa had a disagreement and my job was to keep Trowa away from Quatre long enough for Quatre to set things straight again. I couldn't think of anything else to do." Duo lowered his head and wiped his tears away. "I didn't mean too, everything screwed up because of me."
"Duo."
Heero reached for Duo but not surprisingly the braided pilot backed away.
"Leave."
"Duo I'm sorry."
"LEAVE!"
Heero left quietly with a glance back at Duo who had managed to stand up leaning against Wing.
Duo's eyes watched Heero leave and Duo climbed onto Deathscythe carefully ignoring the pain shooting through his body and he curled up in the seat and closed the hatch. Once in pitch black Duo gave himself to heavy sobs and mercifully he passed out.
*
Quatre pulled himself from the desk to answer the door.
"Evening Heero."
"Is Duo here?"
"No, I haven't seen him all day." Quatre stepped aside and Heero stuck his head in just to make sure.
"Fuck."
"Why?"
"We fought and I hurt him. It's been all day, he wasn't in his lessons and I'm worried."
"Where did you last see him?"
"The hanger."
"Listen he'll be fine. You look round the school and I'll go check the hanger out. K?"
"Arigatou."
*
Quatre and Wufei moved through the dark dense forest heading towards the small cabin and the hanger that laid hidden beneath the forest.
"Heero sounded worried. If we find Duo I really hate to think what state we might find him in."
Wufei glanced at Quatre as they ran. "Don't worry. He'll be right as rain tomorrow."
"I hope so."
"Key?"
"Back door."
Wufei nodded and lead the way to the back of the cabin. He took the key offered to him by Quatre and threw the door open. He flicked the lights on and heading into the hallway. Pushing open the cellar door Wufei began to descend down the many steps into the hanger.
*
Meanwhile…
Heero enlisted Trowa's help in searching the school for traces of Duo. Trowa explained in more details the happenings of that morning. The more Trowa told him the worst the feeling of guilt became. Heero had jump to the wrong idea and had felt so jealous that Duo might love someone instead of him that he had released all his angry on to an innocent Duo who was just trying to help two friends in need.
"Hey Heero!"
Heero winced as THAT voice carried across the wind to his ears and a hand grabbed his.
"What do you want?"
"I want to apologise for this morning. It was rude of me to stare!"
"Apologise accepted. Good bye!"
"Where are you rushing too? Where is Elli? She wasn't at school today. I do hope she isn't ill."
Heero suddenly felt a rush of pure angry hit him and he throw Brady off him.
"Listen I don't like you! I love Duo!"
Trowa blinked. "Um Heero?"
"WHAT?!" Heero snapped at Trowa before storming off. Trowa gave chase encase Heero decided to do something stupid.
Brady's eyes narrowed. "Whose Duo?" He thought for a minute before smirking. "That's strange Heero, I thought you loved Elli but now I see you were just using her unless, Elli is Duo. What are you all hiding?" Brady picked himself up and dusted off his clothes before smirking. "I'll find out your secret, don't worry."
*
Wufei and Quatre searched high and low for Duo but there was no sign of the loveable pilot. Quatre sighed leaning back against Wing. "Where could h… AHHHHHHH!"
"QUATRE!"
Wufei managed to catch Quatre before he hit the ground. The blond pilot blinked and clutched his heart. "The pain. Heero, hurting Duo and Duo…" Quatre's eyes rolled into his head for a second.
"QUATRE!" Wufei yelled slapping him trying to bring Quatre back to the land of the living. Quatre's eyes reappeared.
"Check Deathscythe's cockpit."
Wufei nodded and leaned Quatre against Wing in a sitting position before hurrying to Duo's gundam. He pulled open the hatchway and gasped. His hand pushed back the bangs of Duo's sweaty forehead and all thorough he wasn't touching Duo's skin he could still feel the heat that radiated off Duo.
"He's burning up."
"HEERO, TROWA WE'RE DOWN HERE!" He heard Quatre yell and the next second pounding footsteps where head coming down the stairs.
Heero leapt down the last few steps and raced to and up Deathscythe. Together him and Wufei carried Duo carefully on to Deathscythe's hand and Heero climbed back up to lower the hand to the floor.
"Get Sally." Quatre told Trowa who quickly hurried away.
*
A few days later…
"You're lucky to be alive Elli."
Duo smiled at Nerys and the others. "Thanks."
"Poor Heero, he's been going mental over your state and it didn't help when Brady signed him up for that school contest thing."
"School contest?"
"Each year my brother holds a singing contest and he's signed Heero up." Kayo reached out and took hold of Duo's hand. "Unfortunately for Heero you can't back out of this contest once your name is on the list."
"Elli needs to sleep. I'm sure she'll be fine." Quatre reassure the girls and tried to push them out of the room.
"Don't forget Elli, Heero loves you no matter what!" Kayo smiled and winked before whisking her and her friends away.
"He does."
"Really? It didn't seem like that when he was calling me a whore and breaking my arm."
"Duo…"
"Don't Quatre. I don't wanna hear it."
*
"I TOTALLY SCREWED!" (1)
Heero lowered his head to his knees. He didn't understand what was going on inside of him. The need to see Duo fought against the side that told him Duo would hate him. Sally had come and gone after checking Duo over and commenting on the nice dress Duo was wearing. He had been told that Duo had done a really good death glare on Sally making her leave quickly. He wished he could have seen it.
Heero felt the sun beat down on his neck as it lowered into the sky and the moon and stars began to rise.
"Can I pray to a god I don't believe in? Can I truly believe Duo will forgive me? Did I really think I could love? My hands are too dirty, I shouldn't be any where near Duo I will taint him and damn him to hell with me."
"But then you don't believe hell do you?"
"I'm living in Hell Quatre."
"What happened happen."
"It was my fault."
"Was it really?"
"He asked me Quatre, he plead with me and I ignored him."
"Duo?"
"Duo now and Him back then."
"Him?"
"My past. Should I really be allowed to live after everything I've done to those I love?"
"I can't answer that Heero. Duo can and this Him can. Go ask him. You'll see."
By the time Heero turned around Quatre was gone. Heero pushed himself to his feet and heading in.
His feet took him to Duo's dorm and his fist knocked and it opened before him.
"Should I be forgiven?"
"Who am I to judge you?"
"You have every right."
"Do I? If I hadn't done what I did this wouldn't have happened?"
Heero shut the door and walked over to Duo who was half sitting half laying in bed.
"It's the past Heero. Tell me who was I talking to Friday?"
"I don't know. Something came over me."
"Jealousy!"
"Jealousy?"
"You thought I was with Trowa. If I ignore the words you said to me then I truly believe you have forgiveness and you do love me."
"I don't want to lose you. Duo."
Heero sat down beside Duo and took his hand.
"Since that day a few weeks ago I've felt something inside of me grow. I want to laugh, smile and make you happy. I've never felt anything like this before and it scares me a little."
Duo laughed. "You seem like a grown man Heero, always protecting me and the others but deep inside you're more of a kid than I am!"
"Don't push your luck Duo." Heero's hand pushed a stray piece of hair out of Duo's face. "Does this mean I get a second chance?"
And with that Duo threw himself on Heero, forgetting about the other day and just loving the feeling of shared love.
*
The next day Duo was back at school and had a score to settle with Mr Relena Peacecraft. Brady looked round as Elli stormed over to him.
"Why did you do that to Heero?"
"Good morning Elli. Are you feeling better? I heard you were under the weather."
"Don't play an ass with me cause I ain't in the mood. You remove Heero from this contest list."
"Or?"
"Or I'll kick your ass into next week!"
