~ Alternate Ending ~
I held my heart rate steady and kept my eyes closed as I slowly awoke. This was not my bedroom. I listened to the sounds around me, trying to identify where I was. I could hear a steady beeping noise; I honed in on it. It matched my heart. A heart rate monitor. A hospital. I was in a hospital. I slowly opened my eyes.
I noticed a pressure on my hand and looked down. There was a chestnut head resting on my hospital bed.
"Duo?"
His head shot up and he gripped my hand harder. "Oh god, Heero! You're awake!"
His eyes were red. There were tear stains streaking his face. I reached across with my free hand, cupping his cheek. He closed his eyes and nuzzled into it for a moment, but then his eyes opened and he glared at me fiercely. "Don't ever do that to me again! I woke up and you weren't there. I had to hack your computer to figure out where you went." Tears starting to trail down his face again. "There was so much blood."
"It's fine, Duo. I'm fine now." I pulled the hand holding mine close to my mouth and started to kiss each of his fingertips. I heard him gasp.
His eyes went wide as he stared at me, but then he quickly glanced to his right to stare at something that direction as well. I slowly shifted my eyes that way. I saw the line of his arm leading up to another hospital bed that had obviously been dragged closer to mine so he could reach both. I followed his arm to see him. Other Heero. He was in a bed similar to mine. He also was kissing the tips of Duo's fingers.
The other Heero glanced my way. "It seems it's even harder to kill myself than I predicted. Would you be adverse to an alternate suggestion?"
I raised my eyebrow at him, urging him to continue.
He lightly kissed Duo's wrist. I could see Duo shiver from the corner of my eye. Other Heero smirked. "We could always share."
