~Part 7:
Will you�?~

Heero�

Duo��
is that really you? This can�t really be him, Duo left me� Duo left me and never
came back because I wasn�t good enough for him�� But, I can�t help feeling that
there is a possibility�. No, I failed�I failed at loving him the way he needed
to be loved and he left me; this is all my fault�all
of it has been.

The
one mission I took to heart and it turned against me, I understand now why I
never let my emotions run rampant at all times, as Duo did. But that�s what
attracted me to him in the first place�his ability to make fun out of any
situation and make people smile and like him. He was the perfect light for the
perfect dark� but I was too dark for his sweet soul. I held him too close to
me�I was too overprotective of him, I should never have asked of him what I did
in the first place��

But, I� I
still care for him�no, �care� is too inept a word to use�� I rarely used it
but, I never held my feelings for him at bay�I loved him�still do. �Love.� Such a strong
emotion, I never thought I would ever feel anything as strong an emotion as
that�I only burned with hate and vengeance during the war, nothing like love.
But after it was all over and I was worth nothing and useless, I found there
were other �feelings� within me that this beautiful creature stirred alive
inside the hard shell of my ice-cold heart.

I
gave him everything he could have ever wanted; pointless gifts, trips across
the sea, money� and my love. But I pushed it only too far; could a person love
somebody too much? I didn�t think I could have ever loved as strongly as I did
for Duo, and I still don�t understand what I did wrong�Quatre told me it�s what
somebody does when they love another so much it hurts, he said, he wished he
had enough courage to ask Trowa�� Is it that cherished an act that it could
even scare Duo?

I
thought it wouldn�t matter to him, I thought he would be happy�excited that I
thought to ask him�usually he gets upset if I don�t do something �sweet� for
him. Why did he run away from me? All I did was love him and he threw it away,
I can�t ever be �happy��

But
that doesn�t mean he can�t be. Even if he doesn�t love me anymore, I�ll still
find a way to make him happy. That�s how much I love him�. Even, even if it
means giving him to Wufei; that�s why Duo ran to him, isn�t it? Hm, I tried killing him too� maybe that upset Duo as well?

I
look up into his beautiful, large violet eyes and there are tears flowing from
them�why? I hate seeing his beautiful face marred in pain� I just want him to
be happy again, even if it isn�t with me.

What�?
�I want you back�? Wha�why would he say that to me? I
want you back� I want you back too but, I can never have you again, can I?

Why
is he crying like that�? He looks so sad, I don�t want that sorrowful pain to
mar his beautiful features�it�s not him.

I
can still touch him, can�t I? That
won�t hurt anything, just to make him feel better� right? Maybe if I just take
his sweet face in my hands like this��

Heero
very slowly and very gently reached up and took Duo�s sweet, heart-shaped face within
his hands and for the first time in almost a month, the two lovers found each
other able to share a place within the other�s eyes with all the passion they
each possessed. Though for reasons each misunderstood to the other�Duo
believing Heero had finally forgiven him, and Heero seeing the gesture as
merely one of friendship, not a lover, though he desperately wished it to be
so. Duo could hold back his tears no longer and softly began to cry into Heero�s cupped hands. Heero, confused by this painful flow
of emotions, frowned slightly, not understanding why Duo was crying; he did not
wish to see his beloved crying now, all he wanted was to take the beautiful boy
into his arms and whisper apologies and loving nonsense in his ear, telling Duo
how much he loved him� but that could never happen again�Duo was Wufei�s now��

But
to Heero�s surprise the first thing that left Duo�s
lips was a choked sob of apologies.

�Heero�
I�m so sorry�. I�I never meant for any of this to happen�� Heero blinked in
confusion and shock; why was Duo saying this�he had no reason to apologize to
Heero. Heero turned his head to the side slightly, still staring at Duo, but
completely and utterly confused�why�?

�Duo�
I� do not understand� what you are saying.� Duo frowned slightly and lowered
his head, relinquishing Heero�s warm and gentle hold
on his wet face. He heard Heero shifting back in the bed and looked up to see
Heero struggling to find a comfortable position, yet still be able to see Duo
at the same time, without much success. Heero flinched in pain and caught
himself breathing rather heavily after such a small amount of moving around, he
wasn�t used to being sick and this was beyond his capacity to handle�at least
alone. Duo�s frown took a look of complete sorrow and regret for ever letting
this happen to Heero�how could he have ever pained this man he loved so much?

�Heero�.
Mmm, let me help you�� Before either of the boys
realized what was happening, Duo found himself wrapping his arms around Heero�s waist and lifting him up in his arms; with Heero
being as sick as he was and how long he had been sick, he had easily lost
almost twenty pounds and his weight was nothing to Duo. But at Duo�s intimate
touch, Heero started and froze, staring at Duo in confused frustration. Duo had
caught Heero�s switch from exhausted pain to confused
tenseness and he immediately loosened his hold on Heero and stared back at his
precious love with startled, hopeful eyes.

�Duo�
what are you doing�?� Heero tried desperately to hold back the longing and
anticipation that he knew was in his eyes and voice�he had never let himself go
like this before, why now!? Duo looked almost hurt by the question and backed
away slightly, uncertain now, about how Heero felt for him.

�Heero��
I�I thought you might want� some help�.� Duo gazed at Heero with a hopeful
look, not wanting anymore anger to come from him. Heero blinked at Duo then
turned his face away, thinking. Taking that as a sign that Heero no longer
wanted Duo around though, Duo started to rise and leave, startling Heero and
causing the said boy to grab Duo�s hand before he knew what hit him. Both boys
stared at their joined hands for a moment in shock�Heero not believing he had
done it and Duo because he hadn�t expected Heero to touch him again. Duo slowly
looked back into Heero�s eyes and waited,
hoping�praying that Heero had changed his mind, that
he wasn�t angry with Duo and he still wanted to keep him, even after what Wufei
had done.

��Don�t��
Heero looked around, unable to finish what he was about to say and reluctantly
let Duo�s hand fall free from his grip. Heero took a deep breath and frowned,
at what, Duo did not know but he was afraid it was at him and he slowly began
to move towards the door again. But just as he was reaching for the knob, Heero�s beautiful baritone reached his ears and Duo froze
at the words that left those lovely lips�

�Duo,
please� don�t go� please�?� Duo could scarcely believe his ears; did he hear
correctly, did Heero just ask him to stay? Duo took a deep breath and slowly
turned around to find Heero hiding his face and what looked to be� tears,
flowing down his dark cheeks. Duo�s heart broke at the sight of his lover so
exposed and in need of someone to love him again; Duo felt a small, sad smile
form on his lips and he said, as quietly as he could,

�I
would never leave you again Heero, not unless you wished me to�� He watched as
Heero raised his head slightly and shyly turned his unusually watery eyes on
Duo, taking the breath away from the said boy. Heero looked so truly innocent
and lost at that moment, Duo felt all of his worries and hate he might have
ever felt for the poor boy, disappear, and only love and a strange
possessiveness overcame him. Heero grew confused and embarrassed and lowered
his head again, not understanding what was happening, but Duo understood his
hurt and confusion and quietly made his way back over to the bed he and Heero
once shared. Lost within an internal conflict, Heero hadn�t realized that Duo
had made his way back over to the bed and was now kneeling back in the place
where he was before, waiting�watching Heero with intense interest.

Heero
still felt only pain and confusion and turned his face back to Duo, staring at
the boy for a long moment, trying to figure out his motivation, but nothing
came to him.

�Why�?�
He croaked out after and intense moment of drowning within those violet pools
he loved so much. Duo sighed and looked about to cry himself again. Duo looked
away for a moment but quickly turned back to Heero and looked deeply into his prussian blue eyes before
answering,

�Because
I was confused and scared and lost�. And because� I love you�� Heero only
stared at Duo, unable break away from the intense gaze.

��
You� love me? But I thought��

�Shhh!� Duo quickly silenced Heero with one long. Slender
finger to his dry lips and continued.

�Of
course I love you. I always have and I always will�. What I did to you was not
right and it was hurtful to you� and me�� But I realized what I had done only after it had happened. I threw your love
for me away, I didn�t mean to hurt you like I did�I never, ever intended for
this to happen�. I just want everything to be back the way it was and� maybe
for you� to accept me, if you�re not willing to forgive me again�?�

Duo
looked own dejectedly and the beginnings of tears began to form in his eyes
again. Heero just stared at Duo for what seemed like an eternity and when it
all finally registered what Duo had said, he could only stare some more,
swallowing hard, not being able to find the right words to say just then. But
Duo once again broke the silence for Heero�

�I
know I could never replace the pain I�ve caused you, with anything good�I hurt
you too greatly over something which was meant to please us both� but, I hope,
I hope you could find it in you to believe me when I say that I am telling the
truth and that I love you more than life itself�not Wufei, no other, and I only
wish to make up for the sins I�ve caused you in any way I can�� Heero couldn�t
believe what he heard, and before he knew what he was doing, he had Duo within
his strong embrace and was, for the first time in his life, letting his
�emotions run free�.

�So� y, you don�t love Wufei�?� Heero asked
timidly, still holding tight to Duo�s body. Duo turned his face towards Heero
and they were only inches apart from each other; Duo stared at Heero for a
moment, then frowned sadly and said,

�Of
course I don�t�not the way you think I might do� why would you think that�? I
thought�I thought you would be the
one to stop loving me. I thought,
after� that fight� that you never wanted to see me again�� Suddenly all of
Duo�s emotions poured from his passionate eyes, though he continued to talk
through choked sobs and whimpers�

��I
thought, that, after I tried telling you about what happened� that, that you would never want to even think of me again�.
I�I betrayed you and� and our love�. But I loved you so much! I can never love
you enough, and I�m so sorry I wasn�t able to tell you that�� I�m so sorry, so
sorry�� Heero felt his heart break, but at the same time, mend together with
the hope that what Duo was saying was indeed true�he could only pray�

�Duo,
it isn�t your fault�� look at me� look at me,
please�?� Heero gently and cautiously put his finger below Duo�s chin and
lifted the boy�s beautiful face to look into his as Duo slowly opened his
brilliant eyes.

��You
tried to apologize to me that time�you tried to explain and I didn�t let you�.
I was so angry with myself because of that, but I couldn�t take it back because
you had already left by the time I had recovered�. I�m sorry for blaming it all
on you and� for saying the things I did, they were unfair and cruel.... I�m the one to blame, not you. It wasn�t
your fault that� Wufei� did what he did.� Duo stared at Heero in stunned
silence for a moment then looked away, thinking; he silently nibbled on his
lower lip, then turned back to Heero with a small light in his eyes and asked
timidly,

�Heero,
coul�could you� ask me again�?� Heero looked puzzled
for a moment, not understanding exactly what Duo was asking; he crooked his
head to the side and gave Duo a questioning look, then Duo added shyly,

��
Ask me� ask me what you asked of me before� before when I was too afraid to
answer� and broke your heart� please�?� Heero�s face
took on the oddest expression just then; he neither looked confused nor scared
or upset, or shocked, but at the same time, he looked of all those expressions
on his handsome face. Then his eyes saddened slightly and he looked away from
Duo for a moment, thinking whether he should say it or not� but, he wanted to,
he wanted�needed to know. It seemed, every time the subject had been breached,
Duo found another way to cleverly avoid even speaking a single word of it� so
Heero almost felt to give up and throw his gift away�or possibly give it to
Trowa to give to Quatre some day�. But now Duo was asking Heero to ask him
again� he wondered suddenly, if Duo would change the subject at the last minute
again but he pushed it aside and swallowed his anxiety with a soft sigh. Heero
slowly turned away from Duo with all the energy and strength he had and
stretched over to the nightstand on the opposite side of the bed; Duo watched
with hopeful curiosity as Heero rummaged through the drawer until he found what
he had been looking for, then slowly brought it back to where Duo could see it
clearly, setting it in his own lap.

Heero,
never took his eyes from the beautiful stone box he held upon his lap; he
carefully took his time, slowly opening the box and pulling an even smaller
white box off of the cushions and lifting it into the palm of his hands as if
it were the most precious stone on Earth and even the smallest whisper would
shatter it. He gently set the larger stone box aside and brought the smaller
box down to Duo�s eye-level, watching Duo�s expressions with the first smile he
had experienced since the beautiful cobalt-eyed boy left, though a small smile
it was, but a smile just the same.

Slowly,
so very slowly, Heero cracked open the small box slightly and as he opened it
further to reveal a beautiful, shining gold band with angel wings engraved on
one side and devil wings engraved into it on the other, he asked,

�Duo,
will you marry me?�
