Pairing Duo and Heero
Warning Near rape scene and some sexual scenes that aren't too bad.
Author Notes The title for this story comes from Bjork's 1997 album which is where the song also comes from. It's obviously that song... The story sort of fits it well.
Summary [AU][Heero/Duo] Duo realizes one night just how much Heero means to him. But the part that troubles Duo is the fact that Heero comes home the next day and now Duo doesn't know how to act. Heero is going to know something is up...

Over the last summer, Duo had some how managed to fall hard for Heero. Duo had no idea though... Where would the story be if he didn't? Anyway, at first when Heero left, Duo figured that he just missed his friend -a lot- but the fact that Duo started feeling lonely at night, not eating, being moody all the time, and his lack of usual personality was giving him and everyone else mixed signals. "What's wrong with me?" he'd always ask himself as he wandered the dark streets waiting for Heero to pop up out of nowhere. "What's wrong with him?" Wufei would ask when Duo snapped at Quatre for doing anything out of place or when Trowa sang a song he and Heero would listen to. Duo was rather sad when Heero left because they shared an apartment with Wufei, Trowa and Quatre! Heero was basically leaving Duo to the dogs with nothing but a note that said he'd "be back". "That's never promising," Duo stated when he had crumpled the note up the second he read it the last day he'd seen Heero.

That was about three months ago. Now poor Duo sat around and watched TV all day in his room if not yelling at his other friends trying to keep from biting everyone's heads off any more than he had and to try to keep his mind off of Heero. By watching TV, Duo not only learned many interesting -useless- facts he had also gotten into music videos. People close to Duo knew he rarely watched television but rather played around with Heero as they ran a paint and body shop down the road. They loved to customize people's shit-cars. It gave them something to do and gave them some money in their pockets. Money didn't really matter because their parents sent in money from out of state as they attended a college near by.
At this time, however, Duo never went down to the shop... without Heero, car fixing wasn't much fun. He hated summer vacation because Heero always went to visit his family. Even when they attended high school he'd drive over the boarder to the next state. But Duo never took it like this before and decided that he was obviously in a serious state of Heero withdrawal. Technically, Duo wouldn't know love if it hit him in the face but he'd never acted like this so he just used it for the missing Heero excuse. He still doubted that option highly that he was in love but more of just really missing Heero. As of late, the two were inseparable... "Maybe I really am having withdrawals," he pointed it out as he absently clicked through the cable channels.
Duo point blankly didn't know what the hell was wrong with him. Just as he settled on a station, the bedroom door opened to the now 'just Duo's room'. Trowa's eyes and huge bangs stuck in to see what Duo was up to. Duo cocked a brow, "Hey, Trowa. What brings you to my side of the place? Quatre finally drive you nuts with his neat freak attitude?" He was asking about the fact that if you looked into Trowa's and Quatre's room you'd see yourself in anything you looked at it was so clean. "He's like a housewife on obsessive-compulsive pills!"
Trowa shook his head and laughed a little while he looked about the room. "He should come in here to stay a while. You aren't the best of house cleaners with Heero not here. I swear you've gained sixty pounds just sitting in here moping about because he isn't around... You two really 'complete' each other. Plus he's about the only one you really listen to..."
"What the hell does that mean?" Duo asked as he got riled up. He hated when people just spit it out. When it came to Heero these days, it was a sore subject. He really did miss Heero.
"Haha, Duo Maxwell is even getting more stupid when his boyfriend isn't here..." Trowa sighed seeing Duo get angry at his words. "Quatre, Wufei and I are going out to the park. Would you like to go? There are girls and sports... All that cool guy shit to do!"
Duo got up and followed Trowa out into the main living room, "What are you guys going to do? Because I know for a fact that none of you three are looking for girlfriends."
"Maybe you should then. You do seem a little lonely..." Wufei spoke up. Then he smiled slyly, "Or are you waiting for Heero?" His words were slyly slipped out and the look on Duo's face was priceless. His mouth gaped open and his eyes were wide, looking as though Trowa just shot him or told him someone dear to him had died. It was great!
Duo fumed, then he growled loudly, "I don't want to go. You guys are just going to pick on me at affairs that don't even exist! Why do you even think that I like Heero for more than a friend anyway?" He really shouldn't have asked. All three boys smiled at him. Duo shouldn't have asked.
Quatre started, "You day dream about him when you watch anyone. We can see you talking to yourself about him too..."
"Then," Trowa began, "You dream about him in you sleep. We've seen it. That night you fell asleep on the floor you kept asking Heero to help you into your bed. It was... sweet." Trowa's smiled widened.
Finally Wufei dared to start in. "Plus you've done nothing but talk about him the whole while he is gone. It's driving us nuts! Then, when we all talk about it you get really defensive, and on top of that your mood has been shitty ever sense he walked out that door. AND FINALLY-"
The front door unlocked slowly. The four boys silenced themselves and looked at the door with curiosity. Duo blushed as he ran off before the person from the other side came in. Trowa laughed as he watched Duo retreat and Quatre looked at the door with a knowing smile plastered on his face. Wufei snapped his head back as he heard the bathroom door shut loudly.
Heero walked in just as Wufei began to whisper, "-and you haven't taken a shower in a week because the only person you have to look good for is Heero..."
Heero watched silently as the three boys giggled as they heard Duo fighting with his dirty clothes and the water. The curses coming from his mouth wandered to Heero. "What's with him?" Heero questioned as the boys looked back from the bathroom door to Heero himself.
Trowa smirked, "He hasn't been this excited sense you left. The whole time he just sat around doing nothing but complaining about you being gone! We're all glad you finally decided to come home. Believe me! Oh, do you need any help unpacking?" Heero nodded at him, "Well, I guess if you think so... We are all going out to play basketball. Would you like to go?"
Heero smiled, "Sure, what is a few more hours for Duo to wait? He'll live. Or will he?" he questioned the three he left Duo with. The boys just laughed at Heero's worry, "See? I worry about him... I'm sure you three picked on him enough to last a life time!" With Heero's bag quickly thrown on his bed and one appalling look on Heero's face, the boys were out the door leaving Duo to his shower. Duo heard the door shut behind his friends, smiling to himself. "Heero? All to myself?" he asked himself with a sly smile. "Wait," he spoke out loud as he ringed his hair out for the umpteenth time, "what the hell is wrong with me? I'm just happy Heero finally came back! I finally have someone to talk to." His big goofy grin, of course, did nothing but give that information. He turned off the water and went to reach for a towel. Just as his nimble fingers latched onto the white sheet his leg hit the tubs side and he went down.
"Oh shit!" Duo wailed as his head connected with the hard tile floor, his shoulder took the blunt landing but his head still took most of the injury.. He grumbled a few words before his leg went numb and he started to black out. "Fuck!" he stated as everything went out like a blown light bulb.
