Amber and Amethyst

D-POV

You know how they say that when you really love somebody you can still feel their presence even when they're not there. Like if something were to happen to them you would be able to sense it. A sixth sense or a structure of intertwined spirits or something like that. That's what I felt when I returned from my latest mission three days ago. I felt something had happened to the one I love, but what that something was I still don't know. Then again I haven't really asked either. I arrived at Quatre's safe house (really big mansion) to find my fellow pilots tiptoeing around each other and especially around me. Now just to set the record straight, which we ourselves are not, Heero and I are lovers and Trowa, Quatre and Wufei are lovers. Interesting on how that one happened huh? It's really funny too you see after Hee-chan and I became an item, Trowa and Kat (I call him 'Kat' 'cause 'Quatre' takes too long to pronounce) anyways, they became an item which left poor 'Fei all alone. Well alone until Kat and Tro ganged up on him one night and cornered him in his room where they took advantage of poor 'Fei and judging from the sounds comin' out of that room meant they just formed a threesome. Who knew Kat was so aggressive?

For the last seven months we've been pretty happy, all of us found something on which to give us something or rather someone to come back to. Everything was well and balanced...or so I thought. For the last three days everyone around me just seemed.... different somehow. Not in a bad way different but in a 'there's something going on different' kind of thing. There's something going on between those four pilots but since they have yet to mention anything to me I figure whatever it is that they're hiding it probably doesn't concern me. Not even Heero has said anything to me which is probably what's upsetting me the most, that my own boyfriend can't even trust me enough to let me in on their little secret. So even thought it hurts I place that mask on every morning and grace them with my all patented Duo Maxwell smile and pretend like nothing's wrong.

Two weeks went by without much to it 'cept for two missions one for Tro and one for 'Fei. Which left Kat by himself but oddly enough he didn't seem all that fazed by their absence. Heero mainly kept to his laptop as usual and I spent most of my free time readjusting the command system on deathsycthe. Last mission really screwed up my internal systems and my commands have been delayed half a second. Which in any battle can mean death if not dealt with properly. So to avoid that little problem I spent the most of my free time sitting here inside the cockpit of my ol' buddy with wires hanging out and tools lying around. Luckily for me the music program that I installed into my hardrive is still functional so are the speakers that are attached to it. Which is cool 'cause I can listen to music as I fix the wiring in my gundam. I only have one song on my hardrive anyway; it's called 'Amber' by an American group called 311. I stumbled upon this song while I was surfing the net. It was the theme for a website and I immediately fell in love with it. I searched and downloaded it when I finally found it, hell I would've taken the song even if I hadn't heard it. Just the title alone was enough to catch my interest.

Amber has always been my favorite color. I know what you're thinking 'but Duo you wear black' still though for some reason I just like the color amber. Actually not like but love the color it's always been easy on my eyes. It's just one of those colors that's warm and comforting and....safe even. Ever since I was little I've always loved the color but I don't really remember why. I've been thinking that when this war is over, if it ever is, I'll drop black in favor for amber. Won't that surprise my fellow g-pilots.

A low rumble and a little ache lets me know that my stomach is demanding food. So I pack up all my tools, turn off my music and climb down deathscythe with all intentions of lunch. It's been a pretty warm month, hell it's march and we're here in sunny California USA, my home nation even though it's really not my home. I grew up on L2, the home of psychos, weirdos, druggies, prostitutes and the homeless, just like me. Back on L2 when I was growing up we lived out of trashcans and rundown holes we called home. When I say we I mean Solo and I. Solo was like my brother, hell he was more like my twin even. We looked so much alike that we thought our parents might have even been the same. So we left it like that, when anybody came near us they would think that we were twins, we had the same build, the same haircut, hell even the same hair color as well as our heart shaped faces. And when we were taken in for personnel records on L2 we even lied to them and claimed the same birthday, which we made up 'cause we don't know our birthdays. Solo was actually two years older than me, he found me one day digging through an alley trashcan and when he saw me for the first time it was like looking into a mirror. There were a few differences then but when we got the same haircut then we really were mirror images of each other.

April 25 is our supposed b-day, 'cause that's the day he found me and took me in and gave me the name 'Duo' to match his 'Solo'. And every year I take a long walk far away from any form of civilization and spend a few hours just thinking about Solo and how things were before he died in my arms. I remember how when we were bored we would pretend to be each other, he'd call me Solo and I'd call him Duo. It was so much fun, so it was kinda traumatic having him in my arms cold to the touch, blood coming out of his mouth.... dying. I remember his last words....'don't forget me Duo...please don't forget me....' When his eyes closed for the last time I kissed his forehead and silently cried for him, my tears never making a sound. I made so many promises to him and only few have I really kept. One being to never forget him.

Well it looks like Tro and 'Fei are home, glad their safe. Gee I don't think I've ever seen Kat that hyper before, and even Heero seems genuinely glad that they're safe and sound and home. Maybe when all is settled we can all sit by the fire and tell stories like we did one time at one of Kat's other safe houses during winter.

As I finally reached the back door I saw Tro kissing Kat and 'Fei kissing Heero........ WHAT! I musta've said that out loud 'cause now they're all looking at me and I can see surprise as well as a little guilt on all four of their faces. So that's it then the BIG secret...Heero was cheating on me...the BASTARD!! Shit I musta've said that out loud too 'cause everyone just kind of flinched there.

No I can't do this I can't watch them do this to me. Heero is approaching me he's saying something I can't hear, he touches my arm and I lash out. I didn't hit him but he still flinched. Good.

He looks sad, like he has a right to be sad fucking bastard. I can't deal with this right now I simply can't therefore I won't.

I walk pass them I can feel their eyes burning my back with their stares as I climb the steps to the second floor. I walk into my room....mine and Heero's room and close the door softly and lock it. I refuse to let them see what they really did to me. I figure if I don't rant and rave and cry my heart out in heart breakin' loud sobs they'll worry more. Good let them worry.

I lay down on my bed placing my arms behind my head and stare up at the ceiling, my tears threatening to fall but no....I won't cry 'cause boys don't cry.
Isn't that right Solo?

H-POV

Watching Duo walk away from me with that indifferent look on his face damn near tore my heart out. God it wasn't supposed to be like this. I...we were finally ready to tell him about us. All four of us. Yup that's right Trowas fucking Quatre who's fucking Wufei who's fucking me. In which I had hoped I would be fucking Duo in that little gang bang we have...had going. I don't think I'll be able to get it up any time soon after this incident. God I shouldn't even be thinking of that right now.

I should be thinking on how I'm going to fix this mess I put myself in. How am I going to get Duo to forgive me? I doubt he'll even want to talk to me right now much less forgive me. I should have told him when we first started this group thing. I knew he suspected something, just because he didn't say or ask anything doesn't mean he didn't notice how different we've been acting.

"Yuy we need to talk to him" Wufei looks at me with concern and regret written in those onyx eyes of his.

"No I think he wants...needs to be alone right now" I say, shaking my head to emphasize my statement.

"I don't think it's a good idea, something like this should be dealt with immediately before all the wrong types of emotion embed themselves in his mind." Wufei says standing before me with his arms crossed.

My anger flares at him, it was his fucking idea that we wait before we tell Duo. And now he wants to talk, when it's already too late. God I hope it's not too late.

"Yuy this must be dealt with as soon as........"

"Shut up Wufei, it was your idea to wait remember, you're the one who said we should see if we like what we're doing before we involve him. And don't treat him like he's just someone we need to eliminate he has a name and it's Duo Maxwell you prick." I yell at him full rage.

He just stares at me in shock. Quatre looks like he's torn between helping his lovers or helping is friend upstairs. Trowa has his arms around Quatre's small frame, shielding him from us. I glare at them and storm out the back door. I don't feel like putting up with Quatre's melancholy, Trowas disapproving one eyed glare and Wufei's personal wallowing of guilt.

I walked to the only place I ever felt safe in....Wing Zero. Before Duo, wing used to be the only place I felt safe in. Taking the pulley up to the cockpit of wing I climbed in and closed the hatch. I cradled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around my legs. Man I really screwed up. Just remembering the look on Duo's face sent shivers up my spine. Never in all the time that I've known him as both Duo and Shinigami have I ever seen his face that stone cold. It could put mine to shame.

There's so much we don't know about the deathscythe pilot, like how did he get his name, how he grew up, what happened during the Maxwell Church Massacre that left him dressing up like a priest and taking the name Maxwell as his own. The only thing I know about Duo Maxwell is that he grew up on L2, survived the plague that claimed his mentor by the name of Solo, was taken in by Father Maxwell and his orphanage, survived the massacre on the church and stowed away on a sweepers ship that led him to G and his training as a gundam pilot. Best damn gundam pilot I know too.

But besides that there's really not much to tell on pilot 02 as OZ refers to him. Not much I can say except how much I love him. I love him so much and still it wasn't enough for me. I had to have what I shouldn't have wanted. And what's worse is that I still want what I shouldn't. I still want all five of us to be together. Intimately.

Damn my legs are starting to ache, I stretch them out and sit normally in my seat. I look around my cockpit and remember that Duo was trying to fix the command system in his gundam. He's been on that for the past week actually. If even he's having to take this long to fix it maybe he needs help on it. I decide I'm going to check up on Duo's progress on Deathscythe's computer and open the hatch to my gundam and climb down.

I climb up Duo's gundam and into the cockpit. Everything looks fine to me but I better check the internal system myself just to make sure. I turn on the computer and notice a low humming sound coming from the speakers. I turn up the volume and was graced with a cool melody. I recognize the song as Duo's favorite, the one he always plays whenever he's working on his gundam or whenever I catch him just lounging in it for comfort the same as I do mine.

The song kind of reminds me of him, calm yet serene in attitude. Duo's always been like that, whenever he's truly upset he gets quiet and his attitude slows down a bit. I've never seen him yell at any of us and I've never seen him lose his temper. For as long as I've known him he's always had this laid back smile. The kind you only see on Americans for some reason, not to say that's it's bad or anything but it's kind of weird to see most Americans have that same chill smile on their face. It's goofy looking.

The melody of the song catches my attention as it starts from the beginning again, apparently Duo has it on repeat.

'Brainstorms take me away from the norm
I've got to tell you something
This phenomenon
I had to put it in a song and it goes like.....

Whoa amber is the color of your energy
Whoa shades of gold displayed naturally
You ought to know what brings me here
You glide through my head blind to fear
And I know why.
Whoa amber is the color of your energy
Whoa shades of gold displayed naturally
Whoa amber is the color of your energy
Whoa shades are gold displayed naturally

You live too far away
Your voice rings like a bell anyway
Don't give up your independence
Unless it feels so right
Nothing good comes easily
Sometimes you gotta fight

Whoa amber is the color of your energy
Whoa shades of gold displayed naturally
You Launched a thousand ships in my heart
So easy
Still its fine from afar
And you know that.
Whoa brainstorms take me away from the norm
Whoa I gotta tell you something......'

I lay back as the song begins all over again, I see now why Duo likes this song so much it pretty much describes the way he feels, at least from what I can see of him through my eyes.

I open the hatch and climb down after shutting off the computer. I now know what I have to do, I need to talk to him but first I need to explain what it was he really saw before I apologize. If I'm lucky he won't be so mad after and maybe there'll be a chance for all of us to be together.

If I'm lucky.
