Ok I know I haven't updated in 3 months and I'm sorry, but I do have good reasons. One is that I needed to start studying harder in a few classes taking up more of my time. Second I had a bunch of sports on the weekend taking all that time up as well. Third is in the end of May I had to study for a bunch of finals so I could get good grades, yeah I would rather do that then develop my story, not. Anyway sorry for the long wait.

Hurting

Heero's POV

Three days have past since we found Duo again, and for those three days I haven't really talked with him. True to my plan I've been acting like my old self…a total ass. If Duo wants to talk I only grunt, if he acts to annoying I tell him to shut up; everything I remembered of how I was to him before he left. It's hard to do this now because I can see how much it hurts him if I don't respond to him. I used to never look at him closely and never try to see what he was feeling, and now it's all to clear to see.

After we had found Duo in that box, I had to act like I didn't care about him personally and only if he was still functional, when really all I wanted to do was go find who put him there and rip their head from their shoulders. I went straight to our room and started to type on my laptop about what was happening to try and later see if my plan is working or if all this is for nothing. Duo walks in a little bit later and just stands in front of the door staring at me typing for a brief moment before he shook his head and went to his bed. (I saw his reflection on my computer screen). He tried to talk to me about what happened and if I knew who it was that did it, but I would just grunt and finally told him to shut-up while I worked. I could still see is reflection in the screen but since he was lying down I couldn't see his face, but I could tell I hurt his feelings by the silence that followed. I was hoping he wouldn't stop talking like and be like he was in the past by just smiling at me and continuing his random talking. A little while later I heard his breathing even out and could tell he had fallen asleep without uttering another word. I stopped typing and shut down my laptop, and walked over to his bed. He fell asleep with his clothes on, but I still put his blankets over him so he wouldn't get cold. I stared at him for a bit longer, just wanting to be able to hold him and keep him safe. I wanted to give him a kiss, but knew that would be wrong so I just walked over to my bed and went to sleep.

So for the past three days I had to treat Duo with a cold attitude of the perfect solider and watch his face crumble at my harsh words or intense glares. I was tearing me up inside when he would just turn around with slumped shoulders and walk away. I felt like dirt knowing I was the one who was hurting my own love…but I was doing this all for a reason…to help him remember me…right?

'Please God don't let my plan be a failure. Don'tmake me have to hurt him anymore…I beg of you.'

A/N: ok as you can tell I actually started typing this in June, but completed it now. I know this isn't a long chapter but I thought it was better alone then combined with the Duo POV. I should have the next chapter soon I promise because I do have some good ideas. Yea that's it and don't forget that I thrive off of reviews. They make me feel good inside.
