"Hello, Mr. Maxwell."

Duo winced when he heard the cold voice coming from his love. He looked nervously at Heero while his hands moved to fiddle with his suit jacket. His nervousness vanished when he got a real good look at Heero.

Heero looked much paler than he last remembered him. His deep blue eyes that used to sparkle with determination now looked dull and lifeless. His hair was still messy but was more limp and looked like it hadn't been taken care of for months. He was also skinnier than before and his cheeks looked sunken in. In all he looked like a skeleton that had been brought to life.

"Heero" Duo gasped. He moved to take a step forward but stopped when Heero took a step back.

"Don't come near me." Heero harshly stated.

Duo looked down at him and that took him by surprise to. He was always smaller than Heero and now he was several inches taller. He smiled slightly at Heero, "Okay Heero."

Heero glared at him, "Don't call me that. You lost that privilege when you left."

Duo grimaced, "I'm sorry, He…Mr. Yuy. I need to talk to you."

"We have nothing to talk about. Now leave."

Duo glared at Heero. He was making this hard for him but he knew he had to talk about this, "Look, I have something to say to you and you are going to listen…"

"No!" Heero shouted, "The last time I listened to you, you left. Now you listen to me. I don't want you near me ever again. I have moved on with my life and my new life doesn't include you. So leave me alone."

Heero brushed past Duo, intent on returning to the ballroom and leaving the estate. Duo reached out and grabbed Heero by the elbow, "Wait, please."

Heero stood stock-still and waited. Duo took a deep breath, "Please Heero. All I want to do is talk. Can't you just hear me out?"

Heero kept silent, not wanting to answer.

"Heero? Why don't we go back to the apartment and have a talk?"

Heero roughly pulled his arm away from Duo and glared angrily up at him.

"I told you not to call me Heero. I'm Mr. Yuy to you. And as for the apartment, I sold it."

Duo gasped, "What?"

"You heard me. I sold that piece of trash apartment and moved somewhere else. Somewhere better…without you. But don't worry about your precious stuff," Heero sneered, "I put it in a storage shed. Here's the key."

Heero dug the key out from one of his pockets and threw it at Duo. Duo reflexively caught the key and looked sadly at Heero.

"Now I don't want to see you ever again."

Heero then walked back into the ballroom. Duo watched from the balcony as Heero left the ballroom. He continued to look at the people inside without really seeing them. All he could hear was the hate in Heero's voice but the love, pain, and anger in Heero's eyes.

Heero glared angrily at everybody as he stalked from the room. He heard voices shout his name but didn't stop to say anything to him. The hurt was too much to bear. Just seeing Duo again brought back a lot of pain that he thought he had put behind him.

He was stopped when someone grabbed his arm. He whirled around to make the person let go but halted when he saw Wufei's concerned gaze. He stood there and waited, knowing Wufei wouldn't touch him in this state unless it was important.

"What's wrong, Heero?"

"Nothing."

"Come on, something must be wrong. Quatre, Trowa and I thought you would be happy when Duo returned."

Heero narrowed his eyes at Wufei, "Why would you think that?"

Wufei gulped nervously. He could hear the violent undertone in Heero's voice and he didn't want to upset him further.

"Well, the three of us had noticed that you seemed more withdrawn since Duo left. And we thought that bringing him back will make it better."

"Well you were wrong." Heero glared and turned to walk away. But Wufei moved in front of him, stopping him from moving forward.

"I don't believe you. We know you have feelings and we know those feelings are for Duo. And I know for a fact that Duo has been a good influence. He isn't here for more than a couple of hours and you're already talking more than you have for the past year."

"You don't understand. Move," Heero whispered but Wufei could hear the restrained anger in it.

He hastily moved out of the way and watched as Heero stormed out of the mansion. He frowned in thought and decided it was best to talk with Duo and see if he understood what was wrong.

He moved back to the party and went in search of Duo.
