So denied, so I lied,
Are you the now or never kind
In a day, and a day love
I'm gonna be gone for good again

Duo sighed as he watched Heero sleep. It was the right
decision, even if it broke his believed non-existant heart.
He looked over the note he'd written, and blinking back a tear,
put it on the nightstand witha shaky hand and silently ran out of
the safehouse, grabbing his jacket on the way.

Are you willing to be had
Are you cool with just tonight
Here's a toast, to all those who hear me all too well

The cold, dark night reflected Duo's mood. He shoved
his hands in his jacket pockets, head down, hurrying
along the sidewalk until he was across the
street from his destination. When the traffic light
changed he quickly shuffled accross the intersection
and into the building. He grabbed a stool at the bar, took
of his jacket, and placed it next to him.
"What'll it be?" asked the gruff bartender.
"5 shots of the strongest stuff you got," came Duo's
reply. Duo checked his money as the bartender filled the
glasses. Duo grunted a thanks and raised one of the glasses,
saying, "Here's to you, Heero, Ja ne," and gulped down
the bitter liquid, wincing as it slid down his throat.

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye, tomorrow's gonna come to soon

Heero blinked as he woke up. He rolled over and
blinked as he realized the body he'd been reaching out
for was missing. Heero quickly sat up and grabbed the
note, which read:

"Dear He-chan,
I don't want to do this, but you've found someone who
can provide more for you than I. I'll never forget
you. Don't worry about me, Heero, take care of your
new special someone, Relena'll make you happier then
you were with me.
All my heart and soul,

Duo"

"No,"Heero said quietly. "NO! DUO HOW COULD YOU DO
THAT?!" he yelled, furious, but mostly frustrated, at
himself. Unfortunately, his yell had woken Quatre next door.
"Heero, what happened? Where's Duo?"the blond-Arabian
asked as he entered and sat on the bed next to Heero.
"I, he, I mean, he's gone He left. He thought I was
gonna marry Relena so he wrote this," Heero explained,
stunned, as he handed the note to Quatre, who read it
quickly and looked at Heero with a mixed expression of
sorrow, concern, and shock. Suddenly,he spoke in a
tone so determined it took Heero by surprise. "You
have two choices Heero. Stay here and mope or get out there
and find Duo!"

Put your name on the line
along with place and time
Wanna stay, not to go
I wanna ditch the logical

Heero stared back at Quatre. "You're right. I gotta
find Duo."
Quatre nodded as Heero got up and ran with un-human
speed out the door and into the street. Quatre
watched and looked back down at the note.
"Duo, what came over you,"he wondered out loud.

Here's a toast, to all those who hear me all too well
Here's to the night we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye, tomorrow's gonna come too soon

Duo blinked dizzily. He was down to two shots, but the
pain was still there. Nope, 5 wasn't gonna be enough,
maybe he should just give up. He sighed and gulped the
4th shot.

All my time is froze in motion
Can't I stay an hour or two or more
Don't let me let you go

Heero ran as fast as he could to the first place he
could think of, the bar. He saw the traffic lights and
stopped as they changed right as he was going to cross. He would've
gone anyway if there hadn't been a convertible of
drunk teenagers whooping as they zoomed by.
"Please be there Duo, please!" he pleaded

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye, tomorrow's gonna come too soon, too soon

Heero burst through the door, searching frantically.
Finally he spotted Duo at the bar, unconscious. He
ran up and told the bartender,"It's
ok, I'll take him home." Blinking back a tear,
something Heero never did, he walked out of the bar,
carrying the boy in his arms.

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye, tomorrow's gonna come too soon

Duo blinked, wincing at the pain in his head.
"He-Heero? Where am I?" he slurred.
"In the safehouse, where you belong."
Duo groaned, "I don't belong here at all."
"You do too belong, Duo," Heero countered firmly.
Duo stared at him. "Wha-what are you saying?"
"I'm saying, I'm saying I love you Duo."
Duo gaped, finally finding his voice he managed a
weak, "I love you too."
Heero sighed with relief, bent over Duo, and kissed
him deeply."Never leave me again." "As long as I live."











Shiri: You're still here? Hmmm, guess I shoulda put in authors notes anyways.
