Hi, I know it has been ages. Gomen. ^_^' This chapter is dedicated to Miasmas because I promised it to her months ago and stuff kept happening to stop me. Special thanks to Lady Angelfiren for betaing. This fic contains yaoi, adult content, and angst. Please, read with discretion. I own none of these characters, and the booger line is a direct quote from "Tank Girl", the movie. "There's fifty-two ways to flirt with anyone. One and two are the same, but they both work as well." ~ Misfits: "Saturday Night" "Change" Chapter 27 Heero wanted so badly to return to see how Duo was. He missed the braided.... er formally braided baka something fierce. But, how could he after everything that had happened? The thought of that other boy posing as him and.... and... touching Duo made his blood boil with rage. He wasn't any better though. He had spent the past 5 weeks beating himself up for kissing Duo when he was asleep like that. He wondered what the fuck was wrong with himself for doing something so awful, especially when he *knew* what Duo had been through. No, returning had to be out of the question. He had to stop wanting things so bad. What Duo really needed right now was to never see him or anyone resembling him again. ~~~~~ Zechs slowly moved from the soft kiss on Quatre's head to comfort him, to softly kissing down Quatre's neck and unbuttoning his shirt. Quatre suddenly rose to his feet, shoving Zechs to the ground. "I said no!" ~~~~~ Trowa jumped in Heavyarms and sped back to his blond love, intent on telling him his feelings whether the blond angel wanted to hear them or not. It was now or never. Quatre snapped and before he knew it Zechs was laying on the ground in front of him all bloody and unconscious. Quatre just took off running... right into Trowa. The two boys fell to the ground, Quatre straddling Trowa. "Quatre, what's wrong?" Quatre buried his face deep in Trowa's shirt, his tears soaking through. "Oh Trowa!!!" ~~~~~ Wufei lay Duo down on his bed gently. "Is there anything else I can do or get you, Maxwell?" "Yeah, go get yourself some f***in' therapy and get out of my face." *speaks weakly and hoarsely* "You're in a lot of pain aren't you?" "Yeah, lookin' at your ugly face. Now just leave me alone, and quit babying me." "Do you want some pain killers?" "No!!!" "Don't yell, Maxwell. Your throat is still healing. You really shouldn't be talking at all." "Yeah, but the rest o me is fine, and you're treating me like an invalid. I just want to be alone. I wouldn't be talking if you weren't here to tell off." "Are you hungry?" "No. Take your thumb out of your ear and stick it back up your @$$ where it belongs. I just want to be left alone." "It's a moment for the history books! Maxwell refuses food!" "You know Wufei, you have a big honkin' booger hanging out of your left nostril and I think you should use this finger to pick it out." *flips Wufei off* "Fine I will leave you in alone if you promise to stay in bed." *rolls eyes* "I promise to stay in bed. Happy? Now get out of here." "I'll be back to check on you in a few hours." *exits* "Don't let the door hit ya on the way out!" As soon as Duo hears Wufei's footsteps fade, he curls up on his bed, under the covers and starts to cry. Suddenly, he feels warm arms wrapping around him. Laters, plude
