Chapter 2

 

Some 16 hours later Duo walked in to Relena sleeping soundly beside Heero sharing his pillow while still sitting in her chair that she had brought up to the right side of the bed. Duo not wanting to disturb the scene quietly left or tried to but Heero decided at that moment to come back to the conscious plane. Slowly his muscles tightened and relaxed his body was shifting slightly. The slight movement woke Relena and she noticed Duo in the door but couldn't ask him when he had gotten here before Heero woke up completely.

 

“Hn.” Being his first noise.

 

“Heero?” Relena asked tentatively with a sleepy tone in her voice.

 

“Re...Relena?” Heero said after finally wetting his lips.

 

“Yes...how do you feel?”

 

“Hn.” He replied while opening his eyes.

 

“That good hun.”

 

“Relena what time is it?”

 

Relena looked at he watch then answered. “Around 10 in the morning. Why?”

 

“I can't see.”

 

With those three simple words Relena's heart sank.

 

“Duo can you stay here? I need to go and get Sally.”

 

“Sure Relena.” Relena hadn't even waited for his response and she was gone. Duo walked across the room to the now vacated chair in front of the window.

 

“Duo what are you doing here? I thought you were on L2 working with Hilde.”

 

“I am working with Hilde but when I got the call from Quatre that you were injured I came to see if I could help in some way.”

 

Silence was Heero's response. Since he was working on sitting up on the bed. Every muscle was sore from not being used in over 16 hours. Duo tried to help him but was pushed away. When he had finally managed to sit up Sally had walked in towards him pass the first bed and curtain to stand on his left side Relena following quietly behind.

 

“Heero your finally awake.” Heero jerked his head to the left at the sudden voice.

 

“Hn.” Was the famous reply to the statement.

 

“And it looks like you don't have any paralysis problems.”

 

“No paralysis but I can't see and I want to know why.”

 

At that statement Sally went white and answered “The wound.”

 

“Hun?”

 

“It's the head wound that's what's causing the problem it appears that there's some form of nerve damage that's causing you to be blind.” She said while extending her hand to gently tilt his head. But as soon as her fingers brushed his skin his hand caught hold of her wrist and she gasped in pain. Slowly Heero realized that it was her wrist and let go.

 

“Gomen.”

 

“It's ok. It was my fault. I should have told you that I was going to touch you. I'm going to try again I want to see if your eye's respond to light is that alright?”

 

“Hai.”

 

Slowly Sally brought her hand up and tilted his head so she could shine her pen light into his eyes. The pupils contracted and dilated like eyes normally do. Although his eyes did seem duller than usual not having the same intensity that usually adorned them.

 

“Well you have two perfectly well working eyes it just seems that your brain isn't receiving or understanding the messages your eye's are trying to send.” Sally said putting her penlight away. “Now would you please stand up for me so that I can see if you've lost any of your mobility. Just walk to the end of the bed then to the sound of my voice.”

 

Slowly Heero managed to get off the bed on the side, which Sally's voice came from. He was wobbly at first so Relena caught his arm to steady him he nearly jerked away till he noticed that the hands were small and delicate.

 

“Relena?”

 

“Yes Heero, I've got you.”

 

“Hn.” He shrugs her off. “I can walk on my own.” Slowly he began to walk to the end of the bed keeping his fingers on the bed as a guide. Relena stayed quiet and at the head of the bed trying to not let his words hurt her.

 

After having successfully reaching the end of the bed Heero turned towards Sally who had started talking to give him a point of to walk towards. Walking about five feet Sally told him to stop.

 

“Anything sore, not feeling right, lost of memory?” Sally asked.

 

“No just stiff from lying down, no gaps in my memory.” Heero replied.

 

“That's good. Then I'll discharge you so that you can go home and get accustomed to the handicap while I look into trying to solve your lost of sight.”

 

“He's not going to his apartment alone. He's coming to my home where he can have some support to get through this new development.” Relena said in a tone that left no room to argue. She had walked up to them along with Duo who was standing on Heero's right

 

“Relena I'm not going to stay with you. I can take care of myself in my own apartment.” Heero tried arguing.

 

“Sorry Heero but you are going to need some help in adjusting to this new handicap.” Sally said. “Relena has a point you are going to need help to get adjusted.”

 

“No, like I said I can take care of myself I have been since the war.”

 

“Yes, you did but you also weren't blind. You weren't down one sense.” Sally said. “Heero please don't make me make it a doctor's order that you stay with Relena.”

 

Heero had a look of defeat since the two women in front of him were backing him into a corner. Luckily Duo had stayed out of the arguing up till now. Sensing Heero's defeat he spoke to Relena.

 

“Alright Relena you escort him to your house while I go to his apartment and get the essentials from his place.” Duo said quietly. “Now go and call Pagen so that he can come and pick both of you up.”

 

“Thank you, Duo.” Relena replied quietly, with that she left along with Sally so that things could be arranged for Heero's release from the hospital.

 

“Duo I can hear you, you know.” Heero said with a growl. Turning to try and glare at Duo but just ending up glaring at the wall just beside Duo.

 

“Yes, I know, but you can't win with both Relena and Sally on your case. So you might as well go along with it.” Duo replied. While walking back towards Heero's bed to the side table where his clothes were neatly placed. He picked them up and handed them to Heero who had followed to the end of the bed.

 

“Duo what are you planning?” Heero asked. While taking the offered clothes

 

“Nothing. Just get changed I'll pull the curtain closed and stand on the other side while you change.” Duo replied a little to quickly. While pulling the curtain closed and standing on the other side as said.

 

“Hn, and our mobile suits aren't destroyed.” Heero replied while changing. Duo replied with silence and gave Heero his shoes after he had heard the other finish dressing. They sat quietly until Relena came to get them.

 

Half an hour later Heero and Relena were on their way to the Peacecraft mansion. The ride from the hospital was a quiet one. Everyone was keeping to his or her own thoughts. Heero had his eyes closed and he was thinking. / What has Duo gotten me into now he knows that Relena has feelings for me. I know he's planning something right now but there's nothing I can do about it in my condition. /

 

It took an hour to get to the mansion. By the time they had arrived Relena had finished planning where Heero would be staying. It was the room beside hers so that she could be near him but not be with him all the time. /That room will be perfect that way I can hear if he needs anything and he can call for me if he needs help./

 

“Heero we've arrived.” Relena said before the car had stopped moving.

 

“Hn.” Was his reply but he opened his eyes and slid over once he heard Relena open the door and get out. Relena waited until he got out before sliding her arm around his, he still wasn't comfortable with the physical contact but had no choice in accepting it, and guided him to the front door where Pagen was waiting with the open door.

 

“Heero what do you want to do?” Relena asked when they had gotten inside the mansion.

 

“I just want to be left alone right now.” Heero replied curtly.

 

“Alright then I'll bring you to your room.” Relena said guiding him towards the stairs and to the room she had chosen to be his.

 

The room was huge by his standards. He probably could have fit this entire 3
