Hi. I know, it's been a while. I've been... depressed and uninspired. Gomen. Missed you guys. *glomps everyone* I would love some feedback, please. Yaoi, adult content, and dirty jokes ahead. Warning, lots of angst ahead. Duo: *grins* Heero walks into a movie theater with his pet chicken, and they tell him that no pets are allowed. Heero really *loves* his chicken. So, he hides it in his pants. Upon arriving in the theater, Heero unzips his fly so the chicken can see the movie too. The old lady next to him taps her husband on the shoulder. Her husband tells her to just watch the movie. She tells him that the boy next to them has his *thing* out. "Just watch the movie," her husband replies. "But honey, it just ate some of my popcorn!" *giggles* Heero: "I heard that! Omae o korosu." Duo: *trying to look innocent* "Heh.." T_T` Standard disclaimer. I own none of these characters. "Change" Chapter 18 Trowa found Quatre crumpled up in a ball on the hallway floor. Quatre was shaking all over, and tears were running down his cheeks. Trowa bent down and scooped the boy into his arms. "Quatre... Quatre, what happened?" Quatre couldn't calm down enough to answer. So, he just snuggled up closer to Trowa. Trowa tightened his grip in response. As Duo had punched through the wall, Heero's eyes became as large as dinner plates. Duo didn't notice as he rolled back up into a ball and shook. Heero just stood there, powerless. #What's happening to him?# "Duo... Duo, it's me, Heero. What's going on?" Heero finally whispered. Heero knew Quatre could probably answer his questions, but he was too afraid to leave Duo alone. After a few minutes, Duo finally rolled over and looked at Heero. His cheeks were tear-stained, and he was still trembling. Heero slowly reached a trembling hand out to brush a tear from Duo's cheek. Duo intercepted the hand with his own, and the two boys just stared at each other for what seemed to be an eternity. Wufei came in. "What happened? I heard a..." Duo finally let go of his vice-grip on Heero's wrist. Finger-shaped bruises were left. Wufie stared at the fist-shaped hole in the wall. Heero looked down at his purple wrist. "What did you do to him, Yuy?!" "Nothing." Both boys stare at Duo who promptly rises to run out, only to be stopped by Wufei. "You need to stay in bed. It's the doctor's orders." Wufei lifts up Duo and carries him back to the bed while giving Heero a death-glare. As soon as Wufei touched him, Duo started to shake violently once again. "Go get him a doctor." Wufei didn't argue, but Duo shook his head, ‘no,' frantically. Wufei left to find one anyway. Without warning, Duo rose from the bed, ran into the bathroom, and locked the door. Heero would normally have given the boy his privacy, but Heero felt a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, and before he knew it, he had busted down the door to see Duo starting to slit his throat with a razorblade. Wufei was sprinting down the hall when he heard his laptop make an emergency beep and was forced to make a detour. Heero stopped Duo before he could cause anymore than a small cut at the corner of his throat. He had quickly grabbed Duo's arm forcing him to drop the razor. Before Heero knew what was happening, he instinctively grabbed Duo and hugged him for dear life. Wufei's eyes bulged out of his head and tears filled the corners as he scrolled down the monitor. The information the doctor had sent him was describing the project that had recently been tested on Duo. It seemed they were trying to form Duo into the perfect soldier by breaking his spirit. The first think to go had been his vocal chords. When that hadn't worked, they did a brain scan on Duo and determined that his closest friend, maybe even more, was Heero. To compensate for this, they had found a boy about Heero's age to *become* Heero. The boy was given plastic surgery and trained to abuse Duo. The boy had apparently done things to Duo that Wufei didn't even want to think about. Tears rolled down Wufei's cheeks just before he realized his error. Duo abruptly threw Heero away from him, curled into a ball underneath the sink, and began to tremble in fear. Heero look at Duo with utter confusion. He had no idea what to do or how to help. "Quaatreee!!!" Quatre heard Heero's desperate plea and broke free from Trowa to go running up the stairs. Trowa paused for a moment and looked down at his hands as if he had just held the stars themselves before following Quatre up the stairs. Just as Heero yelled for Quatre, Wufei ran in. "Get away from him, Yuy!" Feedback, please! I crave and need it. Laters, plude
