Title: As of Yet Untitled Author: Angelstar1014 E-mail: Angelstar1014@hotmail.com Website: www.geocities.com/fallenangel1082/index.html Rating: PG-13 (For language mostly) Disclaimer: I do not nor will I ever own Gundam Wing. Wish I did, but I don't. Oh well... This is a yaoi (guy/guy) relationship. Specifically Heero/Duo. Normally, I don't write Gundam Wing, I prefer Sailor Moon but this fic is part of a bet, er bribe, I made with FireFly. Well, enjoy! "Ow! Damn Heero! Why don't you just break my fucking arm while you're at it?" I yell at Heero. We're having a sparing match and, as usual, Yuy, the human firecracker, is playing for keeps. "Can't. There's a mission coming up. I need you in one piece." He replies in his usual monotone. "Of course. Heaven forbid I actually die and then who would you threaten to kill?" I joke back. Damn! If it wasn't for the fact that I'm madly in love with him, I think I'd leave and work with one of the others. But nooooo! I just have to go and fall in love with prefect soldier Heero Yuy who happens to have the warmth of a glacier in Antarctica. I know what you're thinking: Why in the World would such a perfect specimen of man, who could have any babe in the world, be even remotely interested in a psychotic, trigger-happy, emotionless void like Heero? Well, bite your tongue, you're talking about the man I love! But to answer your question, we're a lot a like. I see a kindred spirit in him. Don't look at me like that! I'm serious! Put our personalities aside because I know the differences already, I'm happy go lucky and his personality can be summed up in one phrase: Omae o korosu. Now for my arguments: 1. We're both orphans from a colony. Colony children aren't like those from Earth, we can't appreciate things like fresh air or sunlight. So we're always wondering what life outside the colony is like. 2. We both had a shitty childhood. Meaning we're orphans, never mind the circumstances, we had no one to trust but ourselves growing up. 3. We were both taken in by freaky looking scientists who tried to make us into perfect soldiers. So maybe Dr. J had more success, but hey we're not going there right? Right. 4. Said scientist were a couple parts short of a Gundam, if ya catch my drift. Who else can say that they were actually raised by mad scientists? But seriously, being raised for one sole reason really sucks and it gives you one hell of an interesting perspective on life. 5. We're both trained killers. Do I really need to elaborate on this one? If I do, please call me. We need to have a little talk... 6. This one isn't how much we're alike per se...you see we compliment each other perfectly. I mean look at us, and tell me we don't look good together! 7. And finally we're both gorgeous. For those of you who don't know, I'm not really serious about this one. Sure we're both hot, but it makes for a piss-poor argument. Convinced yet? Well, if you're not, don't worry, I'm still trying to convince him. Of course I have to tell him before I can convince him...but that's beside the point! We go inside and Hero checks his mail. I barley have time to relax and daydream before Heero pulls my braid. I glare at him. Pulling my braid is the only thing I know of that can really piss me off. If it was anyone other then Heero he would've been decapitated in his sleep. "Hey! How many times do I have to tell you Heero! Not the hair!" "Get up Duo, we have a new mission." "Another one! Lately we've been getting all of them! Can't the others get off their lazy asses and do something?" I whine. Actually I like going with Heero on missions. That's probably the only time I can hear him laugh, true it's a deranged laugh, but beggars can't be choosy. Heero doesn't say anything more, instead he leaves to prepare for the mission. Well, might as well get ready as well, looks like Shinigami's gonna be busy tonight. ***** *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* The heart monitor is the only sound in the hospital room. Quatre sits next to Duo, the others opting to stand. Heero and Trowa were silent as usual, and Wufei was mumbling something about injustice and Duo being a braided baka. Duo was in no condition to fight back or do much else. "How did this happen?" Quatre asks looking up at Heero. "We were being pursued, Duo got between me and the mobile suits, just as we were leaving the base exploded, he got caught in the shockwave and hit his head. We landed before he lapsed into unconsciousness. Now he's in a coma." Quatre looks at Heero then Duo... Being empathic had certain advantages but he certainly wasn't enjoying any at the moment. Those two were giving off so many emotions, it was giving him a headache. "I've already talked to the head nurse. One person can stay the night." He explains. "I'll do it." Heero volunteers. Quatre nods his head. "Visiting hours are almost over, we'd better get going. I'll be by in the morning Heero." ***** I wait until the others are gone before I come near him. I stare at Duo lying in the bed, tubes and wires in his arms and mouth to monitor his progress. He looks...helpless. "Damn you Duo." ***** I look around the cemetery. Heero? What'd I do this time?* Last thing I remember is the fight...and now I'm stuck in an endless cemetery...Quite appropriate for the god of Death ne? Unfortunately it's really boring. Reading inscriptions gets really old. Although there was one good one that simply read: I told you I was sick. But I'm getting off the subject aren't' I? Basically I'm stuck! I can't leave here, where ever here is... and now it seems that I managed to piss Heero off yet again...I can't win can I? ***** "I could've finished off the mobile suits. No one told you to try and save me." Heero says brushing a strand of hair away from his face. "Now look at you, you're in a coma. The doctors say that the longer you're in it the less likely it is that you'll ever wake up." ****** A coma huh? Well I guess that explains a bunch...except why Heero's mad. I follow the sound of Heero's voice hoping to find a way out of this place. Being the God of Death is cool, hanging around the dead is creepy... Shit! Heero! Keep talking! Unfortunately, I don't get another word out of him. Damn! ****** Quatre looks over at Duo tenderly. For the first time I have the urge to punch the shy Arabian. "So there's no change?" Quatre asks looking up at me. "Hn." I reply before leaving. It's time for my monthly lunch with Relena, not to mention the fact that I might hurt the small boy if I see him lay a hand on Duo again... ***** Quatre sighs as he looks at Heero's retreating form. "He really does care about you." Quatre says to Duo. "It's his training that's stopping him from admitting his feelings. If you'd just wake up..." ***** I'd love to wake up Quatre. But unfortunately, that's not really an option right now. I sit down and look around the place. Damn. I'm gonna get tired if I keep walking, then again if I'm understanding everything they're telling me, this is just some seriously fucked up figment of my imagination, so I can't really get tired. Right now, I'm not happy with my sub-conscious. ***** "So Heero, how have you been?" Relena asks me as she enters the room. I don't reply. "I'm fine thank you. No, there haven't been any new assassination attempts. How nice of you to ask." Relena and I have lunch once a month to catch up, although she talks and I don't say much. "How are the others?" She asks me. "Duo's in a coma." There's a piercing silence through the room. I look up to see her looking out a window. "...How bad is it?" I turn my gave away to look at my food. "The doctors don't know, the longer he's out the less likely he'll ever wake up." "I see..." I continue to eat and soon I'm greeted with a swift blow to my head. I look up to see Relena standing next to me, her arm still raised. "Wha..." I start only to be silenced by the force of her glare. "What on Earth are you doing here?" "We had a lunch appointment..." I start. "You could've canceled! Why aren't you in that hospital room with Duo right now?" What on Earth is Relena talking about? Why would I want to be with Duo...lying on the hospital bed...in a coma... "Come on Heero! You're not fooling anyone! You're so much in love with Duo it isn't funny!" "Relena, I'm not..." "Oh come on Heero! I can see it every time you look at him." She noticed? But if she can notice it then why can't he... "He loves you too. My head snaps up to look at her. She's lying, she has to be... Dou doesn't think of me as anything more then a friend... "Relena, I can't..." I start out. "Heero," Relena says in a calm voice, it's a bit too calm for my liking... "We're friends aren't we?" "I nod my head. "Then as your friend...," Her voice changes from soft and gentle to extremely harsh. "I'm telling you to get off your lazy ass, and go down to that fucking hospital and visit Duo before I'm forced to beat the shit out of you!"** I look up at her shocked. Relena never cusses...she must be serious...She slowly raises her hand to strike me again when I get up. "Good." She says smirking. "Now go get him..." ***** Trowa looks up from his magazine to see Heero standing in the doorway. "Where's Quatre?" "I sent him home. He didn't sleep well last night." Heero just raised an eyebrow. "No change?" Trowa shook his head. "None. Quatre told me to talk to him, but I'm not good with conversations..."*** Heero nods his head in understanding. Trowa rises from his chair. "I'm going to go check on Quatre and get something to eat. Wufei will be by later to give you a break." Heero doesn't even see the boy leave. His eyes are fixated on the chestnut haired pilot of Deathscythe. ***** Bored bored bored bored bored I know what you're thinking folks, when's the hero, pun intended, gonna rescue the handsome damsel...what the hell is the male form of that anyway?...in distress? Well, it's about damn time that you decided to show up Heero! I was beginning to think you self-destructed...again! Ah yes Relena, it amazes me to think that such a psychotic, obsessive, all around creepy girl like Relena can be Heero's friend... birds of a feather I guess. Actually, I don't mind Relena, as long as she doesn't hit on Heero, we're cool. Relena? Little miss I'm-too-sweet-and-innocent-to-hurt-the- tick-on-a-dog? Wow, guess I misjudged her... Note to self: Never make an uptight prissy princess mad... ***** "She wanted me to get over there instead of having lunch with her." I look expectantly at Duo, he should be smiling...his eyes should be open, looking at me with mirth and happiness... My eyes open slightly as realization finally hits me...Duo may not wake up...he could just lie there for the rest of his life... Relena's words echo through my head. *You're not fooling anyone!* *I can see it every time you look at him.* *He loves you too.* I do love him, don't I? And now he's going to just lie there like some bloodless porcelain doll when I can finally tell him that I care about him? Over my fucking dead body. "Damn it Duo! Get up!" I growl. ***** Would if I could Heero...but I can't so I guess I won't. Come on...keep talking... I'm getting closer to the end of the cemetery, I can feel it. There's a church and a gate...well now this can be interpreted so many ways...Well, let's try the gate, might be the way out. ***** *Beep* *Beep* *beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep* My head snaps up to look at the monitor. No! He's flat-lining! "Duo! Don't you dare die! You can't leave everyone..." You can't leave me! ***** Heero? Was that you? Damn, it was almost a whisper...I'm not even sure if I heard it correctly...I'm dying? Guess the gate's the wrong choice...I start to head towards the church... ***** Heero jumps back in shock as Duo's eyes shoot open. "Duo...you're awake..." Heero says, stating the obvious. "Man," duo says rubbing his head. "What happened? I feel like hell..." His gaze travels down to his braid, or the tangled mess left in it's place. "Aw man!" Duo says lifting it. "This is going to be a bitch to brush out!" He was quickly silenced by Heero's firm grip on his shoulder. "You almost died an all you're worried about is your fucking braid?" "It's very important to me..." Duo sniffs. "Ne, Heero, you were worried about me?" "Baka..." Heero growls. "Of course not, why would you be? Lemme guess you're gonna give me a five hour lecture about the treatment of my Gundam right?" Heero swiftly pulls Duo into a rough kiss. **** I'm dreaming! I've gotta be! There's no way Heero Yuy, perfect soldier is actually kissing me! Oh! I know what happened, I really did die and now I'm in heaven! Well, might as well enjoy it! I lean into the kiss and give it everything I've got... Man, Heero's a really good kisser, as soon as we break apart I whisper the words I've been dying to say forever, "Heero, I love you..." ***** "Heero, I love you..." Duo whispers into my ear. My head snaps up. Did he just say...could Relena have been right? I look into his eyes. "What did you say?" ***** Uh-oh...it wasn't a dream...and I'm not dead...and that means...I just... I'm so fucking dead it isn't funny. Might as well fess up. "I love you Heero. I've loved you for the longest time and I'm always going to love you..." I look away from him. "I guess you're gonna hate me now and beat the shit outta me..." To my surprise Heero forces me to look at him and he's... smiling? Heero Yuy's smiling! Man and I thought I was everything... ***** Wufei walks down the hall grumbling. "Why must I relieve Yuy? The braided baka is just too stubborn to wake up. Winner should be here, since he's the one with the bleeding heart...This is injustice..." Wufei opens the door only to close it a mere fraction of a second later, his face an unusual shade of red. There, in the hospital room was Duo and Heero sharing a passionate kiss... The pilot of Nataku quickly leaves to tell Quatre that Heero had no desire to leave. Wow...finished. That was different. Now for the author's notes: *Does he really need to ask? **[FireFly slowly turns to Angel, a horrified look on her face and slowly backs away... Angel: What? You said you wanted it slightly AU and you hate Relena, so the least I could to is give her a respectable part. FireFly: ...Right... *eyes Angel out of the corner of her eyes*.] ***No shit Sherlock FireFly made the comments above. To any of you who don't like cussing, I apologize. I have two older brothers and as a direct result, I can't imagine teenage boys without A LOT of vulgar words in there. As always PLEASE E-MAIL FEEDBACK!!!
