//I been alone
Arms. Strong and comforting. Wrapped around his waist. A warm body pressed against his back.
Duo awoke to find himself not alone on the bed. He tried to turn and look, but he already knew who it was. Just why?
"H-heero?" He whispered.
"Hn..." Heero grunted sleepily.
"Wha..." Heero let go and moved away.
"You were having a nightmare..." he said as he made his way to the computer.
"Oh... thank you..." Duo said, why did he feel disappointed?
He stared at Heero's back as he clacked away on the computer. What was this odd feeling? Why did he feel upset that it was just to stop a nightmare?
Then it hit him. 'Oh my god! I'm in love with him! I'm in love with Heero 'I'm a cold, unfeeling, self-destructive bastard' Yuy...'
Then he thought again. Cold maybe. Unfeeling, no. He had comforted him, he couldn't be unfeeling if he'd recognized Duo's anguish. Duo looked at him again.
'If he finds out I'm gonna be in for a very painful, tortured, and elaborate death.'
//Days when the rain and the sun are gone
Black as night
Agony's torn at my heart too long
So afraid
Slip and I fall and I die//
Everything began to fall into place for him. The times when Heero'd gone on solo missions and he'd paced restlessly around the room until the Wing pilot'd returned. The times he'd just listen to Heero type away, or grunt, or anything.
He'd thought it was friendship, maybe at first it was, but somehow it'd developed into something deeper, something that left Duo longing for more that just friendship.
He sighed and tried to heave himself off the bed. His broken leg came painfully into contact with the bedpost. He howled as the pain spasmed up his leg and drove tears to his eyes.
Heero's head shot up and he was out of his chair in an instant. He leaned the boy back on the bed and went to the bathroom to get a cold press. He returned and placed the press firmly on Duo's leg.
Duo bit back the tears that were threatening to spill from his eyes as Heero gentled his menestrations. The pain slowly resided into a dull throb.
"T-thank you..." Duo choked out around the tears and the tightness of his throat.
"Hn. Baka," Heero said, but it was different, kinder, and Duo could swear that he was smiling.
Duo blinked and Heero almost laughed at the confused look on the boys face.
'Yes, baka, I'm smiling... I can do that to, I just usually chose not to,' he thought, 'Hmmm... I wonder what would happen if...'
Heero leaned forward and kissed the boy right on the lips.
Pulling back he was rewarded with a look of surprise. The violet eyes glittered at him with happiness. He looked down on Duo and said, "Go to sleep..." and thought, 'Sleep well...'
Duo blinked and closed his eyes, 'Did I just die?'
