WORTH FIGHTING FOR

 

Chapter 12 – Same Old Boys

 

Heero felt his breath catch as he heard the key in the lock turn and Duo stood with his back facing Heero. He stayed that way.

“Are you hurt?” Duo asked, his voice slightly muffed.

“No.”

Duo turned around, his eyes searched Heero.

“I’m sorry.” He whispered.

“You have no need…”

“I…”

They both fell silent.

A large wide gap of three years full of regret, pain and hurt stood between them.

“I’m sorry.” Duo whispered again as his knees gave way and he slide down the door to the floor. “It’s all my fault.”

“You could say that.” Heero snapped.

Duo looked up, his own anger flaring.

“I didn’t mean for it to happen.”

“You are the reason I was kidnapped.”

“I didn’t know he would kidnap you did I?”

“Yeah, typical Maxwell, always think about number one.”

“Hey Yuy, you are forgetting that I’m the one risking my life to save your ass.”

“So? You feeling guilty about putting me in this situation, so you are saving my ass to make yourself feel better.”

Duo stood up. “AH, you know nothing!” He yelled storming forward.

“I could say the same about you. Only you can be stupid enough to get in these sorts of messes.”

“Like you had nothing to do with it.”

“None of this would of happened if you hadn’t ran away! None of this would have happened if you hadn’t turned away and ran off with your tail between your legs! You just up and left because at the time it suited you, you didn’t stop to think who you might hurt by leaving!” Heero snapped, the real reason for his anger sprung up.

Duo paused and looked away from the cold fires of Heero’s eyes.

“I did it for a reason.”

“Because you were too scared to stay and fight your father.”

“I had no choice, I had to leave.”

“I could have gone with you!”

“You had a family left, I didn’t. I wasn’t going to take that from you!”

“So you chose to rip my heart out instead? How noble of you! I would have given everything up for you; all you had to do was ask. But instead you thought about yourself and no one else, almost like everything we had gone through hadn’t mattered to you!” Heero said lowing his voice and reaching out to touch Duo. “You gave me something new, you made me feel so good and you took that away, you nearly destroyed me!”

Duo pulled away.

“Don’t.”

“DAMN IT DUO!” Heero yelled. “I LOVED YOU! I still do.”

Duo spun round and reached for Heero, their hands touched and electricity flowed through them. Duo pulled Heero into a hug, tucking his head in the crock of Heero’s neck.

Heero raised his arms and put them around Duo, aware of the rope and metal chaining him. Duo’s hands went round his waist and they held each other, the simple touch burning away the anger between them.

“I’ll get you away from him.” Duo promised. “I’m so sorry for everything.”

“Don’t apologise.” Heero ordered him and Duo lifted his head from Heero’s neck.

“If we get out alive, you wanna go out sometime?” Duo said with a wink.

Heero gave a small chuckle. “I’d love to.”

“I love you, together forever?”

“Longer than forever, I love you too.”

Heero bent his head, his lips touching Duo’s oh so softly.

Heero was the first to pull back.

“I’ll get you out Heero, I swear on my life.”

“I know you will. I trust you Duo, with my body, my soul and my heart.”

Duo held Heero again, his breath warm on Heero’s neck.

“I don’t wanna let you go back to him.” Duo whimpered hugging Heero tighter, need to contact as his emotions threatened to sweep him.

“I have too.” Heero said, his hands clutching at Duo’s braid like a lifeline.

There was a sharp rapping noise at the door.

“Our time is up.” Duo said glancing at his watch. He moved away from Heero and reached up to unclasp his cross from his neck, Heero watched him re-clasped it around his own neck and Heero closed his eyes as he felt the reassuring familiar weight of the silver cross around his neck.

“Be safe.”

“You too.”

Duo rested his hand against Heero’s cheek and lent in, he pressed his lips firmly against Heero’s before quickly pulling back and unlocking the door.

Duo walked out with Heero following.

Devalin then took Heero and left.

As soon as the lift shut, forcing Heero from Duo’s sight, Duo collapsed to the floor, and gave a dry heavy sob.

Quatre knelt down be side him and held him as he cried dry tears.

The Yuy Family held themselves and took comfort from each other.

Trowa and Wufei turned away and Mike watched it all with a heavy heart.

“Devalin.” Mike thought, “You have a lot to answer for. And I’m gonna make sure you do.”
