"Change" Chapter 24 Heero forced Duo to his feet and slammed him against the wall after hitting him hard enough to draw blood. Duo glared at Heero with fear and confusion as Heero flipped him around and ground his cheek into the hard unforgiving brick. Duo tried to fight back and Heero broke his wrist before returning him to the previous position. Duo felt himself choke as Heero grabbed his collar and ripped off his shirt. The buttons made little clinking sounds as they hit the ground. Duo tried hard not to cry as Heero continued his assault. Duo awoke with a silent scream as he had many times now. He was trembling all over. Quatre looked at him with pity in his eyes which made Duo want to vomit. Duo jumped to his feet and smacked Quatre knocking the blond on the floor. ***** Duo awoke for real this time. Self loathing and disgust filled his thoughts as Quatre gave him the same look from his dream and Duo felt the urge to hit him. Duo jumped to his feet and ran out of the room only the run directly into Heero. The impact knocked both boys down. Both boys' eyes widened with fear. Heero jumped to his feet and tried to help Duo up. Duo threw his hand away, bound to his feet, and took off sprinting. Heero caught up with him easily and gently pinned him to the wall. "You need to get some rest so you'll heal." Duo frowned as the tears he held back for so long broke through the floodgate and spilled down his cheeks. Heero wasn't sure what he should do or what Duo would need or want him to do. Duo clung to Heero and berried his face in his green tank top. Heero slowly brought his hands around Duo just before Duo threw him across the room and took off down the hall again. Heero stared down at his hands in confusion before taking off after him before he hurt himself more. Quatre had started to follow Duo in his earlier flee when he was cut off by Trowa grabbing his arm. "I have t..." "Heero's down there. He will take care of it. We need to talk. Then, you can go comfort your koi." "My... what?!" Duo heard Heero on his tail and threw open the door to one of the medi-labs. The sight made him wince. Zechs lay on a bed with tubes and bandages covering him. Duo started to cough up blood from over agitating his wounds as Heero caught up with him and caught him before he fell to the carpet. Duo lay limp and unconscious draped over Heero. "You heard me. Don't play dumb. I know you and Duo are a couple." Quatre frowned in confusion. "I don't see why you guys are trying to hide it." "Where... where did you get this idea?" "What does it matter?" "Trowa... I love... someone else." "Then why are you with Duo?" "I'm not." "Then why were you two kissing?" Heero lay Duo down on his bed delicately and gently pushed the bangs from his face as he cleaned up his wounds. Heero squinted and bit his lip as he looked down at Duo's battered form. Tears came to his eyes. Before he knew what he was doing, Heero leaned over and gently touched his lips to Duo's. Violet orbs popped open in surprise and shock and met cobalt. Quatre sighed and blushed. "It wasn't what it seemed. It was an accident. Duo leaned over while dreaming and kissed me. It was actually really embarrassing for both of us." "If not him, then who..." One of Quatre's doctor minions entered the room. "Pardon me Master Winner, but I have some information you asked for." "It's ok. Tell me, what information?" "You remember asking me to search for reconstructive surgeons who might be able to restore Master Duo's voice?" "Hai. Did you find someone." "We very well might have." Wufei: "Why was I not mentioned in this chapter?! Injustice!" Plude: "It's not my fault you weren't around." Wufei: "Maxwell left me duct taped to a chair." Plude: "How did you get free?" Wufe: "I'm a Gundam pilot, aren't I?" Plude: "Oh. ...Why didn't you get loose earlier." Duo: "He's into bondage." Wufei: "Maxwell!!!" Duo: "I didn't hear any denials. Did you?" *grins* Wufei: "Shut up." Laters, plude
