Heero fidgeted in his bed. `Why isn't Duo answering?' He thought. He looked up at Duo hopefully but Duo wouldn't meet his eyes. Then Duo moved, he reached out his hand towards the ring, and Heero smiled. That smile turned into a frown when Duo closed the box and pushed it back into Heero's hand. Heero looked up at Duo confused to why he would do that.

Duo didn't look at Heero, "No, Heero I can't marry you."

Those words shattered Heero's heart. He stopped breathing as pain coursed through his system. He didn't want to hear what Duo had to say but he couldn't tell Duo to leave. He clenched the box in his hands and looked down at his lap.

"Listen Heero, It's not like I don't care for you. You're my best friend. I just can't marry you. Not now maybe never."

Heero felt tears prick well up in his eyes but he refused to allow them to fall. He gathered his strength and asked, "Why?"

"I need to find out who I am, what's left in the world for me. I need to find my place and I can't do that married to you. I want to find out if what I'm feeling for you is love or just lust. We're young and we have our whole lives ahead of us. Who knows how we'll feel tomorrow, a month, or maybe a year from now. Do you understand?"

Heero wanted to say many things to Duo but he didn't. The lump in his throat prevented him from speaking so all he could do was nod.

"Okay, listen. I'm leaving and I don't know when I'll return. In the meantime I want you to go out and meet people. And if you find someone you really like, date them. Who knows you might find the right person for you while I'm away. I'll be doing the same thing. I'll email you so you won't worry."

Duo looked at his watched and cursed, "Look, Heero. My shuttle is leaving soon and I gotta go. You'll always be my best friend. See ya later Heero."

Heero felt a multitude of emotions in him. All of them swirled inside of him almost making him sick. He felt pain and confusion but most of all anger. Duo was leaving him alone when he had promised during the war that he would never be alone again. He saw Duo make his way to the door and he had to say something. He didn't want to lose Duo but if he left, Heero didn't think he could stand it.

Duo had just reached the door when Heero spoke, "If you leave through that door right now…you'll lose everything you had with me. Because I won't take you back."

Heero waited for a reply but the only thing he got was the closing of the hospital door. He sat there and cried, the anger he felt seeped out of him and all he felt was the pain of loss.

"I was wrong Relena, Duo can make me cry." Heero said to himself.

He cried himself to sleep. His heart in pieces on the floor and the box still held securely in his hand.
