Happy Little Heero-chan
part5

      Doctor J grinned, "I think I have it!" He nodded, "This dose should bring
Heero back."
      Chibi Heero cried as the needle picked him.
      "Shh, It's ok." Duo calmed.
      Heero grew right before their eyes but he stopped at about five years old.
Duo groaned and Doctor J sweat-dropped. "I can fix this. I can! Give me a
week or two."
      Duo looked down at the five year old "Ohayo Heero."
      "Duo! Pick me up!"
      He smiled, "At least you can talk now."
            "Up! Up!" Heero bounced.
            Duo balanced him on one hip and walked out of the lab and back
to the safe house.
            "Duo how did it. . ." Quatre looked at the little boy, "H. . .
Heero?"
            "Yep, he's back, he's big, and he's cuter than ever." The
American teased and kissed Heero's nose.
            "Ew!" Heero frowned and wiped his nose off.
      Duo looked heartbroken.
            Quatre watched Duo's smile fade and tears well in his eyes.
            "It's a kid thing." Duo assured him, but the smile didn't come
back. He turned cartoons on for Heero and went to lay on his bed.
            Wufei came in quietly and sat on the bed side, "Duo? Daijoubu
ka?"
            "Hai." He almost whispered, "Daijoubu."
            "Want to talk about it?"
            "Nothing to talk about Wu-man, he's just going through a phase."
            "It hurt you when he wiped off your kiss."
            "Well yeah, I thought. . . I mean, I hoped. . . now that he was
a kid he could share his feelings better. He seemed to like me as a baby.
Maybe even love me. . . I guess that was just a phase too."
             "Duo. . ."
             "I'm not some hentai, I just hoped when he got big again he'd
remember. . . Duo no baka, why would he care about a street brat anyway?"
               "You are not a street brat. You are a Gundam pilot."
               "Yeah until the war is over."
               "Duo, all children go through a no touching phase, it's
normal."
               The American nodded and turned his back to his friend, "I'm
going to take a nap now."
                Wufei frowned, but stood and left the room, "Good rest Duo."

               It had been a whole week and they had yet to see Duo really
smile. He put on fake grins for Heero-chan, but when he thought no one was
looking, and relaxed his mask, his whole face would fall.
               Even Heero-chan noticed. "Quatre?" He asked one morning when
Duo had left on a mission with the others.
               "Yes?"
               "D. . . does Duo hate me?"
               "No! Why would you say that?"
               "He doesn't smile anymore."
               "That is because he is sad."
               "Why?"
               "You don't let him touch you anymore."
               "Why would he want to touch me?"
               "Duo loves you very much, he expresses love through physical
contact. Because you don't want him to hold you anymore, or hug you, or let
him kiss your nose, just little things like that, he thinks you don't love
him."
               "But I do! I'm going to marry him when I grow up!"
               Quatre smiled and held in a giggle, "Have you told him that?"
               Heero-chan frowned, "I don't think he likes me anymore."
               "He does Heero-chan. Trust me, he does."
               Heero brooded for the rest of the day. He wanted Duo to know
he loved him, but how? Quatre said Duo shows love by touch. . . So I should
touch him. But how? I love him more than teddy, and I hug teddy so more than
a hug. . . When they got back Heero-chan went to Trowa, "Trowa?"
               ". . .?"
               "How do you touch someone?"
               Trowa poked Heero's shoulder to demonstrate.
               "No!" Heero frowned, "How do you touch someone you love?!"
               The boy gazed at him oddly, "Why?"
               "Because."
               "Hug them."
               "If you love them more than a hug."
               "Kiss them."
               Heero thought a moment, "More than a kiss."
         "Is this about Duo."
         "Hai."
              Trowa bent down and looked at Heero-chan face to face.  "Put
the two together."
               He thought on that. . . "ok."

                Duo climbed into the shower again, he was covered in mud and
sweat and he hated it. He stood under the spray and sighed, ah that felt
good. It felt wonderful to be able to use as much water as you wanted, to
not be rationed so stiffly that your hair would smell and your skin would
itch, like they had been on L2.

             The door opened quietly and Heero slipped inside. He kicked off
his shoes and walked into the shower, fully clothed.

             When the shower curtain was pulled back Duo looked toward it
and gasped when Heero- chan climbed inside, wearing all of his clothes!
"Heero! You'll get all wet!" He crouched down and looked the child in the
eyes, "Do you want the shower?"
             Heero shook his head solemnly.
             "Did you need to talk to me?"
             He nodded.
             "Ok," Duo waited, "What did you want to say?"
             Heero put his little hands on Duo's chest, kissed his nose and
frowned softly, "I don't hate you."
             "I know." Duo tried to smile.
             "Do you. . . do you hate me?"
             "Of course not!" Duo hugged him then jumped back, "Sorry, I
know, no mushy stuff."
             Heero shook his head and glomped onto Duo, making him lose his
balance and fall onto his rear. Heero landed between his legs.
              "Wha. . .?"
              "Do you like me?"
              "Hai." Duo smiled and hugged the soaking wet child to him.
              "Do you love me?"
              His smile faltered and a tear was washed away by the spray of
the shower.
              "Yeah. Forever and ever."
              "Duo, when I grow up will you marry me?"
              His heart felt light and leaden at the same time. "Ask me that
when your back to normal, ok?" He bargained.
               Heero-chan frowned but nodded and laid his head in Duo's
chest. They just stayed that way until the water started to get cold and
Quatre walked in.  "Duo! Heero! I ah. . . I didn't think. . ."
               "Quatre, could you help Heero get out of these wet clothes?
He wanted to talk so bad he showered in them."
              The Arab laughed and took Heero from Duo wrapping him in his
fluffy towel, "Come on, lets get you ready for bed."
              "Quatre?"
              "Hm?"
              "Thank you for telling me what was wrong. I don't like it when
Duo is sad."
              He nodded, "I know Heero-chan, he doesn't like it when you are
sad either."
              "Do I love him as a grown up?"
              That gave Quatre pause. "I. . . I don't know Heero-chan. You
are never one to share your feelings, but you are his best friend and it is
obvious he loves you."
              "But I don't love him?"
              Quatre shrugged, "Only you know."
            Heero frowned as he lay down to sleep, "I will always love Duo.
When I am big I will still love him!" I will! I will. I will. . .
            When Duo went into the bedroom, Heero was fast asleep.

To be continued?

Happy Little Heero-chan
part 6
Another week passed, during that week Heero was never far from Duo's side. He was always hugging and kissing his friend, making sure he knew he was loved.
Duo loved Heero's efforts, his eyes sparkled with a new life and Heero seemed to delight in making them sparkle even more. The other three watched as Heero and Duo laughed together and they all decided that when Heero was back to normal, they would watch carefully for cracks in his perfect soldier mask.
Nothing is more frightening to a boy than a trio of match making teenagers.

One day it started to rain. Heero laughed and dragged Duo outside to dance around in it.
"Heero-chan wha. . ."
"Play with me! It's raining!" Heero-chan  laughed and tilted his head to the sky to catch raindrops in his mouth. "Let's go somewhere!"
"How about we walk to the park and back."
"Yeah!!!"
Duo laughed and joined him, they walked toward the town park hand in hand, Heero-chan jumped in puddle after puddle along the way, giggling when Duo jumped away from the spray it made. They made it into a game. Heero would splash, Duo would dodge, it would start all over again.
"Careful! That ones deeper than it. . ."
Heero-chan jumped and sank up to his knees.
". . . looks." Duo finished with a laugh.
The last block before the park, Duo jumped as Heero splashed again but his heel caught on the sidewalk and the braided pilot landed smack on his backside in a puddle. Beside it.
Heero-chan laughed and jumped into the puddle with him. Soon they were both soaked to the skin.
Duo picked the giggling child up and made a face at him, "I'll get you for that one you little. . ."
Heero squirmed away giggling and Duo chased him around the park, they slipped and slid until both boys looked more like walking gobs of mud than people! Finally Duo got a hold of the smiling blue eyed boy and started to tickle him. Heero squealed with laughter and tried to wriggle away but Duo caught him and held him fast.
"You little stinker!" Duo laughed and turned Heero-chan to face him. "Look at us! We're caked in mud!"
Heero nodded happily and smeared some across Duo's face.
The pilot retaliated and a mud war commenced. Their laughter filled the empty park and both of their hearts with joy.
When the two of them got back, Quatre refused to let them into the house! They had to strip on the porch and wrap in towels first and when the did finally get inside, Wufei led them strait to the bath tub and left them plenty of soap.
They both giggled as Duo washed Heero-chan's little face clean. Heero splashed him playfully and Duo splashed back, they kept up their barrage until Quatre noticed water seeping out from under the bathroom door. "DUO! HEERO!"
"Wasn't me!" They both answered at the same time.
Quatre opened the door, a very out of character scowl on his face and a mop in his hands, but when he saw the two suds covered boys and the coffee brown water he couldn't keep his anger, "I am not washing that tub after you." He assured them firmly.
"We will!" Heero chan smiled.
Quatre knew better, he remembered the kitchen incident, ". . .never mind, I'll do it."
"Heh, sorry." Duo replied sheepishly.
Quatre rolled his eyes and left the room followed by more splashing and giggles.
Heero laughed and glomped onto his friend firmly, "I love you Duo!"
The American wrapped his arm around the child and sighed, "I know Heero-chan. I know."

Happy Little Heero-chan
Part seven

The next day Duo was feverish. Heero-chan saw how red he looked and fetched Trowa who fetched the other two.
"He has a fever and a bad cough, I think he caught a chill the other day."
"Will Duo be ok?" Heero asked softly, touching the sleeping boy's heated face.
"We just need to keep an eye on him." Wufei assured him.
Trowa nodded, "Cold wash-cloths on the forehead help fevers."
"And I have some tea that should lower it and help the cough."
Heero nodded and fetched a cool cloth for Duo's head, he dabbed at the flushed skin gently and when the others left the room, he kissed him between the eyes and smiled, "You are going to be ok Duo-chan, I will take care of you."
 
Quatre watched the little boy take care of Duo for three days straight. Heero-chan carefully make sure Duo ate and drank all of his tea, and always had a cool wash cloth on his brow until it the fever broke. He smiled when Heero-chan climbed onto the bed beside him and started singing a lullaby. . . of course, since he had only heard Duo's music before it turned out to be Pink Floyd's �The Wall', but it was the thought that counted.
Duo obviously thought so too since he hugged Heero-chan tight and laughed. Half way through the laugh became a cough and Duo turned his head so he wouldn't get germs on his Heer-chan.
Heero looked worried.
            "I'm ok Heero." Duo rasped, "Just got a frog in my throat."
"Oh?" Heero pried open Duo's lips and looked inside, "Let me see!"
Quatre laughed and they both looked up from their teasing. "Sorry, I wanted to see if Duo felt better."
"With a nurse like Heero-chan here? How could I not?"
"Have you been taking good care of our friend?"
"Hai, I always take care of my Koi."
Duo stared at Heero-chan, "Where did you get that word?"
"I asked Wufei." Heero smiled proudly.
Duo was about to comment when the call came. "Moshi Moshi? Hai." His face got tense, "Hai, we're on our way."
"What is it Duo?" Quatre asked.
"Doctor J. He says he's almost positive he's got it right this time."
The Arab felt Duo's sadness. They all wanted Heero back, but if he came back, Duo would lose his friend and be given back the stone cold emotionless wall to beat his head against. His heart hurt.
"Well, I better get dressed." Duo smiled and slid out of bed. In minuets they were both on their way.
Quatre hugged Trowa and a tear fell down from his eye, "He. . . he isn't going to remember any of this time, is he."
Trowa shook his head, "Not likely."
Wufei frowned, "Duo will be very upset."

_________________________________________________________________

Heero:  Duo, I made you sad?
Duo:    No, I mean yeah, I mean. . . Raihne! Get this thing over with
        it's melting our minds!
Raihne: I wasn't aware you had one Duo-kun
Hiei:   *grin*
Kurama: *snicker*
Heero:   See I told you.
Duo:     I want my Mommy
Raihne:  *Grin* That's all for now. Bai bai minna-san.
Raihne:    Ok, it's done.
Duo:       Halleluia!
Heero:     *releived* Aa
Raihne:    But. . . there could be some lost chapters coming for our
           little Heero-chan if people want them.
Heero:     Nani?!
Duo:       *snicker* I got videos!
Heero:     You didn't have a camera!
Raihne:    *looks innocent and whistles*
Heero:     *Glare*
Raihne:    ^_^ Ok, here we go.

Happy Little Heero-Chan
Conclusion
 

Outside the door of Doctor J's building, Duo picked Heero up and smiled sadly, "Well kiddo, this is it."
"I will still love you." Heero-chan said softly and cuddled up to Duo close as he could.
Duo nodded and walked through the door, "Yeah, and I'll always love you." He stepped into J's office and the doctor grinned, "Here we go! I have it." He injected Heero and he grew bigger and bigger until Duo was holding the real Heero on his hip instead of the baby.
"Baka! Let me down!" Heero growled and punched him, "What do you think you are doing?!"
Duo lifted a hand to his already bruising cheek. Doctor J watched in silence and the American left without another word.

Heero arrived back at the safe house and everyone looked up from the table. "Heero! You're you again!" Quatre smiled.
Wufei looked behind the pilot and frowned, "Where is Duo?"
"Hn, how should I know?"
Quatre looked oddly close to tears and turned to Trowa for a hug, Wufei looked angry at him, but Heero didn't seem to know why.
"What is wrong with you bakas?" Heero growled.
"Did you hurt him?" Wufei asked.
"Who?"
"Duo."
Heero glared.
"You did, didn't you." Quatre accused, "You hit him and he ran off."
"So?"
"So?! How can you be so cold?"
Heero was seriously confused, "What happened here?"
"Go ask Duo." Trowa said softly. "We are not at liberty to say."
Heero growled and stalked back outside, slamming the door.
 
He found Duo in the park, holding a ridiculous stuffed bear with fuzzy black, superman footsie pjs on it. He was staring at the ragged thing as if he had lost his best friend. His Violet eyes with bright with tears and even more trickled down his cheeks.
For some reason the scene struck something in Heero's heart. He wanted to go up to the beautiful boy and hug him close and never let him go. When did this happen? How did he get so far under my skin?
Duo glanced up and his whole body went stiff. He stood and stuffed the bear into his bag then started to walk away.
Heero followed him.
"Stay away from me Heero." Duo ordered.
Heero frowned when he heard the catch in Duo's voice.
"Just, just leave me alone!"
"No."
The American turned and looked him in the eyes and Heero gasped at the bruise that covered his whole right cheek and jaw.  "Surprised Heero? Yes you do hit me that hard."
"You never say anything."
"What was I supposed to say? Hey Heero, don't hit me anymore, it hurts. You know it hurts, why else would you do it when you're angry at me?"
"I didn't mean to hit you so hard."
"Well you did."
"What did you expect when I woke up straddling your hip like a toddler?!"
"You've been a toddler Heero! For months! I expected you to remember something!" Duo screamed. "Anything!"
Heero took a step back.
Duo's lower lip started to tremble and he bit it to keep it still, "I expected you to remember." Then he started to walk away again.
Heero stood stunned for a minute then ran after the pilot, he had never seen Duo lose his cool like that! "Duo! What happened? Remember what?"
"Please Heero, I want to be alone right now."
"Friends don't leave friends alone when they're hurting."
"And are you my friend Heero? Sometimes I wonder."
"Duo, I. . . I am not good with people. I was raised to fight, not to socialize. . . but you are my friend. My best friend." Heero hesitated for a moment then pulled Duo to him in a big hug.
"H. . . Heero?" Duo asked, unsure.
"I will try to be a better friend Duo." He ran his hand over the bruise and frowned, "Now come on, let's walk home. Tell me what happened."
Duo smiled hopefully and offered Heero his hand. The Japanese pilot took it slowly then met the violet gaze of his friend.
"Duo?" He asked as they walked home.
"Yeah?"
"You have a teddy bear?"
"Tell anyone and your ass is grass Yuy." Duo teased and ruffled Heero's hair.
Heero pounced on him in a very un Heero-like manner and yanked his braid.
"Ow! Why you. . . !"
They laughed and chased each other back to the safe house.
Forever Friends.
~Owari~
