Bffimagine: Last chapter!
Pure fear settled in Heero's eyes.
Duo took the trembling boy into his arms, hugging him tightly and running a soothing hand through his hair.
Tears began to soak into Duo's clothing, making the fabric warm and wet. Heero was clutching at Duo's chest, almost as if he couldn't bear to let go.
"Don't leave me, please don't go." Heero's voice was a soft whisper against Duo's skin.
"Shhhhh, Heero, I'm right here."
Crying sobs shook Heero's seemingly small, delicate frame, as Duo held tight to the other pilot.
"It's alright."
"Maxwell," Wufei said as he walked through the door.
"Yuy? You're awake."
Wufei took note that Heero was shaking badly.
"Barton and Winner are back."
Nodding Duo motioned to let them in.
Quatre entered with a small vial of transparent blue liquid.
"We have to get this stuff in his bloodstream within two hours."
Trowa walked through the door behind him.
"Otherwise he'll die."
Duo bit his lip and asked for a syringe.
Wufei bound down the stairs and rummaged through the medical kit Quatre always kept under the kitchen sink, no matter which house he was in.
Grabbing a hypodermic needle, he ran up the flight of stairs again, silently thanking Quatre for letting Duo and Heero sleep on the second floor as opposed to where the rest of them slept, on the twelfth.
"Here." Wufei handed Duo the needle.
Loading the blue liquid into the syringe, Duo carefully took Heero's arm into the crook of his own. Once he knew for sure where a vein was, he inserted the needle and released the liquid into Heero's bloodstream.
"How do we know if it worked?" he asked as he capped the needle and threw it into the trash receptacle.
"If he lives through the night," a bitter look crossed Trowa's face.
Heero woke to the sound of clanging in the hangar. He got up, noting severe soreness in various parts of his body, to investigate the sound.
Running quickly through Quatre's building, he went to the very bottom, where the gundams were kept. The clanging was coming from underneath Deathscythe.
"Duo?"
Sure enough, Duo slid out from underneath his gundam.
"Heero! You shouldn't be up."
Getting off the plank of wood with wheels on the bottom, Duo walked over and gave Heero a hug.
"We were so worried you wouldn't make it," he whispered into Heero's ear.
"Duo… I… Aishiteru."
"Aishiteru Heero."
Enveloping Heero in another hug, Duo was mildly surprised when Heero returned the gesture of affection.
"A mission has been called," Wufei announced.
"I think we can blow this one off," Duo grinned mischievously, "After all, we don't trust any of Relena's missions anyhow. Tell her to get some other pilots to do it for her."
"But Duo…" Heero began. Duo cut him off.
"No buts, Hee-chan."
"Are you sure, Duo?" Quatre asked tentatively.
"It would be like abortion," Trowa stated almost bemusedly.
"Then let's let it be an abortion."
bffimagine: Short ending chapter, I know. First GW fic. It would've been better, but I just couldn't think of anything interesting. Review or flame or whatever.
