Duo bounced around the room cheerily, doing his daily exercises.  It had been a couple months since he and Quatre had been released from the hospital.  Quatre had been paralyzed from the waist down, but it was hopeful that he might be able to walk again given much physical therapy and a bit of pain.  The gunshot that hit him had grazed his spine, causing afore mentioned damage.

Wufei sighed and attempted to explain a new computer program to Trowa, unable to be truly annoyed at the braided bishounen's enthusiasm.  Duo was happy, and Wufei was glad.  Duo hadn't been happy for a long time.

After Heero's funeral, he had been much happier.  Heero wouldn't hurt him any more. Heero had died two weeks after being admitted to the hospital, despite the doctor's best efforts.  It was just as well.

Duo and Wufei had restarted their relationship, and Wufei had given Duo a big apology for leaving and assuming Duo had been cheating on him.  Duo had forgiven him, of course, knowing full well where Wufei was coming from in the matter.  Since then, everything had been happier. Duo had become fully used to being blind, and was able to move around as easily as he had once been able to, even if he didn't go out on missions anymore.  He felt slightly bad that he wasn't helping the others, but he couldn't honestly say he missed the missions themselves.

All in all...everything seemed to be back to normal...well, as normal as things ever had been.  Everyone had adjusted well, and just the four of them were doing quite alright.

"Ah, all is well and good with the world!" Duo said cheerily, plopping in a chair and leaning back.  Wufei made a strangled noise.

"Du-chan! What the hell are you doing?!"

"Sittin' in a chair, why, Fei?" Duo asked, smiling innocently.

"MUST you sit in the same chair I am sitting in? You almost crushed me, you baka!"  Wufei said, but he wasn't really mad, and a smile was twitching at the corners of his mouth and in his words.  Duo grinned.

"Oh, you know you don't mind."

"Duo no baka..." Wufei muttered affectionately.

Duo grinned widely.  "Love you too, Fei!"

Quatre smiled and shook his head.  // Yes, things are definitely back to normal! //
