Chapter Ten: Bath time!

"But, Treize! Urg, men!" Milliado groaned, smiling softly as Duo sneazes quietly, eyes crossing as he tried to focus on his nose, pokeing in experimently, 'oo'ing slightly, before tilting his head to the side, looking up at him questionbaly.

"Come on then. Bath time" Milliado picked him up, carrying him towards the bathroom carefully.

'I like these people... Treize and Milliado...Why did Sally say no to tell them who I am?...Who..am I?...I-I can't... rememer...' Duo thought, trying desperatly to hold back his tears. 'It doesnt matter...Boys dont cry...these people are nice, they'll help me... It doesnt matter who I used to be, who I was... He's gone now. He died in that cell. I'll get a new name, a new start. Treize and Milliado will help me, I know they will. I dont know what it is, but i feel that i can trust them... ooooooo, smells pretty!... Bubbles! Ooooooooo...' Duo poked the large, pearly mass, giggling and 'ooooo'ing as they burst with a faint 'pop!'.

'He's so young... He acts like a child... God knows what happened to him in that hellhole. Une's having a feild day trying to track his files and guards down; it's as though he just didnt exist... Treize seemed so protective of him once he found him. He feels responsible for this, blaims himself... I can see why he'd want to protect him... But, Sally said he'd piloted a mobile suit before. How? I cant imagin him ever... killing someone, war or no war...' Milliado thought, leaving Duo sitting on the toilet seat, rolling up the sleeves of his jumper.

"Right, Little One, I'm going to have to take off your bandages and boxers no so that I can help you wash, alright? I wont hurt you, I promise" Milliado promised, as Duo started trembling, a glint of fear appearing once again in his large violet-indigo eyes.

Milliado slowly pealed the bandages off, noting Duo's rigid posture, eyes closed tightly, shutting out the world around him.

"It's ok. You can open your eyes now. This may sting a little." Milliado warned him, picking the now naked boy up carefully, gently placing him in the rose-scented water.

Duo's eyes, still tightly screwed shut, arms clinging around Milliado's neck, trembling slightly. After a few moments, cautiously, he opened his eyes, blinking in confusion. It didnt hurt. Milliado had told him the truth.

Clutching his dirty, disheveled braid in one hand, he reached out cautiously, glancing up at Milliado for reassurance, before gently poking the bubbly pink mass surrounding him, jumping slightly as it 'pop'ed faintly, watching with child-like wonder as he poked another large pearly bubble, a small smile forming on his dry, faintly-bruised lips, a faint, child-like giggle escaping from pink-purple pouty lips.

Milliado sat back for a moment, a mixture of sorror, amusement and joy playing on his face as he watched the teens child like actions.

'I like this place! It's warm and comfey and had nice smelling squishy people and pretty bubbles and pretty people who dont lie or hurt me. I want to stay here for ever and ever'Duo happily played with the bubbles, not noticing as Milliado carefully began to wash him, being extra careful around his wounds.

Milliado paused; all that was left unwashed was the boys hair and... lower parts. Remembering Sally's eairler warnings, as well as using basic common sense, he hesitated, unsure of what to do.

'He's stopped. Why'd he stop?' Duo thought, turning wide, unblinking eyes on his tall blond savior, head tilted in confusion, gaze landing on the tense blond.

'Why did he stop? Did I do something wrong?' Duo whimpered, becking away from him, closer to the wall, flinching away from him. 'Nonononnonono! I didnt mean to, I like it here, I like him, I like them. They're nice and warm and squishy and smell nice and dont hurt me and blondie... he... Something... remember... nice, blond... kind, comforting... I did something wrong again. Bad bad bad. Now he;s mad at me, just like they used to get mad at me. Ganna hurt me like they did. B-but he's so nice... short, blond... comforting... been bad, done wrong, made pretty men angry, deserve to be hurt. I like him, trust him, he knows best.' Duo closed his eyes, whimpering faintly, head lowered, tense, ready to accept his punishment.

"Little one, may I?" Milliado asked quietly, frowning as he saw the now cowering teen flinch, eyes closed, bubbles long forgottern. Reaching out slowly, Milliado carefully touched the shivering boys face, cautiously reaching out to comfort him, noting that he flinched away.

'Those bastards! Look at what they've done to him, what they've reduced him to! They will pay! And his so-called comrades as sally called them, ha! They're just as bad, no, worse! Abandoning him like that, no attempt at rescue as far was we can find. I swear, they will pay!' Milliado's gaze hardened, glareing murderously at the wall.

'Ohnoohnoohno!' Duo whimpered, eyes widening in panic, having caught sight of the older blonds murdorus gaze, eyes, once again screwing shut in pure terror.

"Lieele one? Sush, shush, it's ok, everythings going to be ok. Ssssh, sush, I'm here, it's alright, you're safe now. I promise no one is going to hurt you now" Milliado's soothing voice reached him, as strong, warm arms wrapped around him, pulling the damp, shivering boy to him, cradeling his head against his shoulder, murmering quiet reassurances to him.

'He-he's not mad?' Duo sniffed, violet orbs cautiosuly blinking open to gaze up at Milliado in amazement. 'He-he's... warm, nice... te-he, his voice is all rumbly... Ooooo! I'm getting his shirt all wet... But... he's not mad at me?... pretty hair!'

"Are you alright now, little one?" Milliado asked, recieving a tentive nod in response. "Now, we're almost done. Would you like me to help you wash your hair? It's going to be hard for you to do it by yourself with... with your broken shoulder... like that" Milliado finished, getting distracted by the young teen reverantly touching, stroaking and petting his long, platenum blond hair, having been facinated with it since having been givin permission to touch it.

Duo adopted a puzzled expression, head tilted to one side, one hand reaching back to cautiously clutch his messy braid, as though not sure as to weather or not he was allowed to touch it. 'My hair? why's he asking me? I-I, he's the one in charge... I-why cant I remember? Somethng important... promise... streets... blond hair, green eyes... penguin-lady... why cant I remember!' Frustration entere the usually innocent, naieve gaze. 'Huh? Oh, nice blondie-man still waiting for an answer.

Milliado waited patiently, unconciously still stroaking the boys back, noticing the frustration that dissapeared as quickly as it had appeared, letting out a sigh of relif as he tentivly nodded, handing him his braid gently but firmly, eyes shining with a mixture of trust, confusion and devotion.

"Thank-you, little one" He murmered, gently washing his hair with Treize's expensive imported rose-scented shampoo.

"Are you two done in ther yet?" Treize's muffled voice came through the door, treize pushing it open slightly, peering around, hand covering his eyes. Milliado rolled his eyes, used to his lovers antics. Duo giggled, beaming, still clutching the fluffy red towl around him.

"Can I take that as a yes?" Treize smiled, peeking between his fingers. Duo nodded, releasing the towl, running over towards the older man, throwing his arms around him, giving him a slightly damp hug, Treize, trying desperatly to ignore the boy's naked state and the way that he pressed up against him.

"Was everything alright? No problems?" Treize asked Milliado as they led the enthusiastically-glomping boy through the halls, back into his black, indigo and violet decorated rooms.

"Milliado paused, before answering him. "Nothing serious."

"Tell me, what happened?" Treize ordered, nodding his consent to the boy, watching him fondly as he crawled onto the bed, stroaking the covers, before discovering hos bouncy it was, happily trying a few test-jumps, giggling.

"He was fine to begin with. He loved the bubbles. He froze when I stopped helping him wash, though. He... I think he thought that I was going to hurt him" Milliado sighed, running his fingers through his bangs. " I calmed him down, though, He let me help him with his hair."

"That's good then; Sally said he would only do that if he really trusted you. It's a start." Treize smiled, putting his arm around Milliado's waist.

"This will take time. Treize, you've got to decide now. This is a persons life; A fragile, emotionally scarred little boy. If you get bored of him because he's taking a long time to recover, it'll break him. You cant do that to him, Treize. I wont let you."

"I know, believe me, I know. I've thought about it long and hard, love. I'm not just doing this because I reel responsible, or because I feel guilty, or bored, or because he's so beautiful. I do not know what it is, but I fell, I know I have to help him, have to protect him. I will not just abandon him. We can really help him. No matter how long it takes, we will help him to recover." Treize promised.

"Soooooo, did you have any luck with the tailor?" Milliado asked, poking Treize's shoulder.

"Hm? Yes, yes. They should be here by Friday at the latest" Treize said, watching as the boy started to happily hug a blood red and silver cushion.

"Three days? Is that the eairlyest thay could get here?" Milliado asked, frowning.

"No, no. As son as they realised who was calling, they said that they could be here within the hour. I thought it might be for the best if we gave him some time to ajust, to get used to both us and his new surroundings. We need to get him used to being around people. We have already began gaining his trust. Just a few more days cannot hurt; we dont want him paniking around the tailor, now, do we?" Treize finished, turning his attention back on the bed, watching as Duo glomped a small pile of pillows, falling off of the bed with a small thump, reappearing moments later, blinking, a slightly dazed expression on his face, before resuming to glomp the bed covers.

"... You know best, Treize..."
